PLENTY oF BIRDs.
Sportsmen Expect Great
Time When Quail Season
Opens.

Doves are said to be plentiful but
are hard to find. The reason given
for this is that there are so many
new ponds made by the frequent
heavy rains that the birds do not go
to the old ponds for water.
Hunters are hoping FOR one Of the
finest seasons ever known when they
will be permitted to shoot quail.
Quail are said to be unusually nu-
merous thisyear. Two reasons have
been given for this. The first one
is that last winter was so very mild
that but few birds. if any, we're
frozen. The second reason is that
fewer birds were killed last winter
as the many rains prevented much
hunting and also prevented dogs
from doing as much work as usual.
Good, sound reasoning, but added
70 the above it may be remembered
that the game law is being more and
more rigidly enforced, and hunters
are more determined that game
shall have the protection which the
game laws we're intended to throw
around them.

1.-THE MAN OF THE HOUR"

There has never been any crisis
in, human affairs that did not sooner.
or later develop a leader equal to
the emergency. A new MAN Of
the Hour" has assumed leadership
in the present date Of lawlessness,
who has at once attracted national
attention, Governor Malcolm R.
Patterson, of Tennessee, has served
notice on the night riders of Tennes-
see that their operations must cease,
and he has addressed an open letter
10 Gov. Beckham asking that his
fullest cooperation be given in the
work of restoring order in both
States. He goes further and asks
that Gov. Beckham offer a special
reward for the apprehension of the
ruffians who whipped John Lockert,
a Tennessee farmer, who was in
Guthrie, KY, on business. Lockert
was at the depot waiting for train
and man asked him to show him
where the post Office was. The con.
spirator went with Lockert to the
business part of the town, where
he was beset by four or five masked
men on a public street, who dragged
him to a point in the rear of somt
stores and cruelty assaulted and bea
him. Gov. Patterson says the LAGER
ations of his flesh have not healed
vet, although the outrage occurred
month ago. It was at an early
hour in the evening, while many
people were on the streets and it il
even said that one man stood IL
che back door Of store and lOokeC
on while the man was being whip
ped. No alarm was given, no OF
ficer went to his rescue and so Ia
a. we have seen no attempt HIS bee
made to capture the cowardly rut

Died of Throat Trouble Mon

Mr. H. L. Holmes died at his home
on Jesup avenue Sunday night at II
O'Clock. Over a year ago Mr.. Holmes
lost his voice by an affection of his
throat. He never entirely recovered
his voice and the affection caused
his death.
Mr.. Holmes possessed considera-
bic property in the city. He was

his wife and several children. He
was Mason and will be buried in

it is said, was not disguised. Follow
ing this outrage, there have been
several Others in Montgomery
and Robertson counties, including
the dynamiting of two threshers, an
attempt at assassination, the destruc-
ton of several growing crops of to-
bacco and the burning Of large
country store at Fredonia. 1t is
to put stop to such outrages that
Gov. Patterson has taken the cour-
ageous position that has made him
a national figure. He has offered a
reward of $500 for each night rider
and $500 for each frebug brought
to punishment. He goes further
and serves notice that if the Sheritfs
are unable to stop the lawlessness
with these rewards, that he has 9TH
er means to resort to. This is I'M
derstood to be hint that the gov
eminent will be called upon to aid
the State authorities, which can be
done by the governor of any state
who finds himself unable to preserve
the peace. Public sentiment is rapid
ly crystalizing around the idea that
kukluxism has no place in a civil
lied community and now that the
forces Of the law have a leader with
the courage and the determination
to protect the lives and property Of
the citizens, we hope to see some of
the guilty parties brought to JUS
tice. The good people in the asso-
citation have so far been unable to |
control the criminal element, the |
officers of the law have declared |
their inability to cope with the stu
alton, and the action of Gov. Pat
terson has had a reassuring effect
on the public everywhere. The
time is now at hand for night riding
to be discouraged and discounte
nanced by all good citizens, before
further humiliation is brought upon
two great and prosperous states. In
the meantime watch closely all who
openly defend the methods of night
riders. The sympathizer, in time
like this, needs watching as well as
the actual marauder There will
be day of reckoning for them all
if Gov. Patterson's nerve holds out.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1907-08-20

The action of Gov Patterson in
declaring war on night riders is
expected to be followed by impor-
tant developments. A reward Of
$4,000 is liable to result in some
turning up" The Governor init
mates that he has other means in
store. This is understood to be an
appeal to the Federal government,
if the State authorities fail. This
appeal can only be made by the
Governor Of the state.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because IT, COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable TO the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
