HOE AND FiREBRAND.
Nightraiders TerrorIze Tobacco
District of kentucky.
Buildings and Crops of Anti-Associa-
ton Farmers Are Destroyed. Both
Sides Guilty.

Nightraiders are continuing their
depredations in the dark tobacco dis
trict of Kentucky. The frebrand has
proven insufficient, and the hoe has
been called into play on the lands of |
farmers who do not belong to the
Tobacco Growers association. Their
crops are cut to the ground or
"grubbled," as the word is among
t1bacco growers. In the chief ship
ping places, such as Hopkinsville,
Nashville, Louisville and Paducah,
hundreds of hogsheads of tobacco
have been dumped into the river:
This tobacco escaped the notice OF
the agents of the association and the
last resort was taken to prevent it
from reaching the trust or other
manufactures.
The raiders are not Dick Turpins.
Tbey assert that their bread and but
ter depend on their raids. The con-
troll of purchasing prices by the To-
bacco trust is a. the bottom OF the
Growers association and all the
trouble. Members explain that their
chief business is tobacco growing. 1t
this crop cannot be raised prohtably,
they are reduced to proverty. But
once crop has been grown, a farm
er is not sure Of good price. That
depends on the buyer, generally the
trust, before the farmers organized.
The trust might have saved up a
good stock in warehouses and then
the contention would be made that
the price must be controlled by the
supply on hand, and the grower
would be beaten out Of a fair price.
The farmers believed they had
grievance against the trust and or
ganized sort of trust of their own.
The members of this association band
ed together and built warehouses
and in some cases small factories.
These they used in an effort to force
fair terms from the Tobacco trust.
The business is all done on a coop
erative basis. Farmers dispose of
their crops to the association and the
association makes sales ct the best
possible terms. Not all farmers were
willing to join the association. They
insisted on handling their own crop
and selling when and at what price
they pleased. Against these the raids
are generally made.
Suits nave been brought by the
state against men known to have
taken part in night raids but not a
single conviction has been recorded.
Both members Of the association and
independents have suffered in the
tobacco fight. Property of both has
been destroyed and crops ruined by
being "grubbled" in the tobacco
BEDS. Anti-association people must
quiet or they will speedily pay the
costof their independence. Recently,
Stephen P. Moseley prominent far
mer of Trigg county, showed def
ance for the Tobacco Growers asso-
ton. His house was riddled by more
than 100 bullets, and he and his wife
and three children wounded by the
shots. The same thing is happening
in other parts Of the state and will
continue as sort of reign of terror
until fairer conditions are obtained.

mute Tyre,
Shall on their softened spirits sink
and move,
In hearts, all rocky now, the late re-
morse Of love. +"

Then, after lovingly tracing Lee
through his almost perfect course Of
husband, father, college president
and then to the heart-break Of his
dissolution, Professor Shepherd COM
es to that remarkable final chapter
of his book treating Of the calamity
which befall the human race when
Europe, Asia and Africa plus
Yankees. as DR.. Brickell. states it,
overwhelmed the physical south in
arms. l understand that Dr.. Uhler,
in Baltimore. chiefly because of this
chapter, refused to let Prof. Shep-
herds extraordinary work have en-
trance to a public library. This was
a prodigious blunder, like the exclu-
sion of the state Of Brutus from the
Roman procession, which only made
the people remember all the more of
Jefferson Davis because his name was
chiseled from Cabin John Bridge. l
do not hesitate to say that | endorse
every word Of Prof. Shepherds final
summing up and have, in my own
poor way, for years, feebly express
ed what he formulates, though spec
latively, with "pomp Of purple
words" and veracous eloquent. The
one argument in opposition to his
thesis is that as God permitted the
overthrow of Confederacy in arms,
therefore it is righteous verdict.
This is mere fallacy, although Fred
e,ick the Great said that mighty
battles were fought beyond the
stars" God does not take away our
free will; He even allows His own
Church, at times, to suffer apparent
demolition. In the case of the Con-
federacv, ominous warnings are Civ
en- at this day that the Federal I'm
ion, the Union of the Fathers. in
stead of being preserved, has been
destroyed or is on the road to de-
struction; that negroes, instead of
being benefited by emancipation
following freedom, are being physi-
cally and morally debauched, loath-
somely diseased and doomed to final
extinction in this country; that the
curse Of Marino Faliero on Venice is
on the eve of fulilment in this Re
public; and that the demons of So
cialism and Imperialism are mar
their hosts for q battle to
the finish. And, while the South has
not been exceptionally materially
in many ways; and some
what morally degenerated, we of
that olden time can proudly declare
with the poet;
Right so; though Right tramp!ed be
counted as Wrong,
And that he called Right which is
Evil victorious
Here where Virtue is feeble and Vii
lany strong |
Tis the Cause, not the Fate of the
Cause, that is glorious.
And, as for Lee, his name goes
Down the ages more and more lum-
nously with the best Of all the great
est of those who 'waged contention !
With their tines decay" and whose
cause is as undying, somewhere. as
IS heavenly inspiration. So, like the
poets picture of the Grecian luml-
lary. it may be said Of him,
Slow sinks, more lovely ere his race
be run, !;
Along Morean hills the setting sun; /
Not, as IN Northern clinles, obscurely
bright, i
5ut one unclouded blaze of living

Sylvas, another danseuse, was seized
and tossed on the table. One diner
tossed the salt cellar at the danseuse
and the salt entered her eyes.
The danseuse seized n champagne
bottle and struck Senor Diaz, secre-
tarv of the Spanish embassy to the
Vatican, over the head. He fell in
pool of blood. The guests then took
sides for and against the danseuse ant
free fight ensued.
