Growers Association by a speech de-
livered at Keysburg, KY, to several
hundred people by w. P. Anderson,
one Of the most prominent members
of the association. condemning the
timer workings of that body. He
attacked the officers Of that organi-
cation, who, he said, were receiving
high salaries for little work. Mr..
Anderson, by way of explanation,
said that it befell his lot to deliver
to his neighbors and friends some
news which he had just discovered
in the inner workings of the Dark
Tobacco Growers Association. He
said it was the most painful duty it
had ever fallen to his lot to perform,
but he had never shrinked duty and
he considered that the facts he had
should go before the people. He
said the very thing had happened
Dat the enemies of the Association
said would happen. The officials, or
rather few of them, had voted
themselves high salaries that are out
of all proportion to the duties of la
Dor they are called to perform.

other man, had received 81, 200 and
paid his own expenses. AS President
Of the Association, he said, Mr..
Charles Fort only receives SIS at
each meeting of the Executive Com
mittee. He said that the officers
had made it so unpleasant for Mr..
Joel Fort that he had handed in his
resignation.

pie against what he conceives to be
existing abuses within the Associa-
ton.

HARMFUL TO CAUSE.
The Kentuckian's Stand For
Law and Order Sustained
BY Directors in Session.
Guthrie, KY. July 30, 1907.

- NAJ w. ASNhs
To the Kentuckian:-
The following resolutions were
read and adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Planters Protective
Association of Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia in session at Guthrie,
KY, Friday July &c, 1907.
Resolved: The members of the
Board of Directors of the Planters
protective Association of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Virginia, in regular
meeting assembled, take this method
of again defining its attitude in rela-
ton to the lawless acts reported in
some counties of our District. We
deeply regret that such acts do
occur, and we hereby again express
our earnest disapproval of same. AS
the official representatives of the AS
ISOLATION, having its true interests at
heart, we call upon every good citi-
zen to join with us in an effort to
discountenance same, and if any
friends Of the Association believe
that acts of personal violence and ter
rorism are conducive to its best in
terest, we emphatically say that we
do not accept that idea. We hold
and believe that it is only by a con-
sistent adherence to the theory of
good citizenship and due respect
for the laws under which we all live,
that any people working together for
any legitimate purpose can maintain
their proper self respect, peaceful
conscience and command the respect
of others. We demand that this As
ISOLATION as a body shall be respected
in all its right, and at the same time
we declare that so far as in our pow
er lies, we will recommend and exact
a similar observation of the lawful
rights of others. He are opposed to
all violation Of law. We have not
sufficient facts before us, to express
any conclusion as to the facts in the
cases reported, as to who are the
guilty parties, nor as to whether or
not they are members of the Associa-
ton, but because it has been stated
that this violation has been commit
ted by members of this Association,
we again wish to express our hearty
disapproval of all crimes. We sug-
gest however that this Association
cannot in justice be held responsible
for the crimes of those who pledge
their crops to it to be sold for
them byI any more or to any great
er extent. than a bank can be held re-
sponsible for the acts of it deposit
tors or newspaper be held respons-
lille for the acts of its subscribers
In the agitated state of public mind,
we realize that many things occur as
a natural sequence, but we appeal
to the good sense and true manhood,
that infexibIe character that has
guided us thus far, to assert it.
self and hold in check the disposition
to retaliate for many wrongs we
have SUFFERED.
