IN MEMORY OF
GEN. SUMPTER

STATEBURG, 8. c., Aug. 14.-With
interesting ceremonies and an elabo-
rate military display a handsome me-
mortal in honor Of General Thomas
Sumter was unveiled here today at the
grave of the Revolutionary hero. The
event was attended by eminent repre-
sentatives of the state, by a large
number of troops, delegates from the
various patriotic societies and numer-
GUS other visitors. Former Governor
Montague of Virginia and Hon. n. A.
M. Smith of Charleston were the prin-
cipal speakers at the unwilling.
General Sumter was the last sur
viving general officer Of the war Of the
American Revolution, and in his hon
or Fort Sumter, in Charleston harbor,
where the first shot was fired In the
Civil war, was named During the
Revolution Sumter was one Of the
ablest and most active partisan lead
ers of the South. Like Marion, he or
ganized and led his own command.
which was practically Independent of
orders from the American army head
quarters. General Sumter was born in
Virginia in 1874, and died near Cam

hardly promising. We can only con-
tinue our advice to our customers to
be cautious in getting into debt. The
stocks even at these prices cannot be
regarded as cheap so long as money
commands it's present rates, with the
prospects of going still higher. There
is no real cure for the present con-
gestion in the security markets, ex-
cept liquidation, which is painful but
necessary operation. A considerable
short interest has been. developed, the
covering of which may at any time
cause sharp rallies. No permanent
rise in the market, however, can be
expected until money rates return to
the normal. This cannot be accom-
plished until securities have touched
a lower level. The prospects, there
fore, are for an irregular market, oc-

further dips downward. Much eau

operations for the next few months.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 15.-"What
will be the wheat crop of the Inland
Empire?" asked the Hon. James VIII
Portland banker. He received as a
reply, "Sixty-two million bushels, and
than means an increase of eleven mil
lion bushels over last year, and last
year was the record"
There are peculiar things about the
growing and handling of wheat in the
Inland Empire. which includes a part
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, or
at least they strike the Kansas or
Dakota wheat grower as just a little
queer, and the new conner from those
great districts doesn't like to handle
mis- wheat in sacks. 1t strikes him as
both expensive and unnecessary, but
wheat growers OF the Pacific coast,
and the sack came as the result Of ne
cessity. For years the greater portion
of the wheat was exported countries
where 1t was necessary to cross the
equator twice, and If 1t had gone in
bulk It would have spoiled, but they
sack the wheat in the field and 1t is
never handled in bulk. even to come
to the nearest mill or station
There is no sight more fascinating
In the farming districts of the Pa
cific northwest than a harvest scene
where they use Combined" harvest
ers, the greatest marvel the inventive
Inc nr.f IN
cultural implements. It Is commonly
called a Combined" and 1t certainly
gets results, both in lessening the ne
cessity for labor and in saving the
wheat. Four men and from twenty
four to twenty eight horses handle one
of these combined harvesters. One OF
the men handles the horses, the reins
being on the leaders only; the second
feeds the bundles Of wheat to the ma
chine; the third sews the sacks and
shoves them from the platform onto
the ground. while the fourth keeps all
the belts and screws tight and looks
after the mechanism of the com
bined."
This years wheat crop will leave
between $4S,0U0.VVO ana $44,OOO,00J In
the hands of the farmers, and at least
$40, 100000 of 1t will find it's way to
Portland
Throughout the wheat belt of the
Pacific Northwest at many of the i'm
portant stations 1t Is not unusual to
see a hundred thousand bushels of
wheat stored in a single warehouse.
and walking between tall rows of
sacks gives one the idea of passing
through a narrow street lined on each
side with skyscrapers, or. better still,
through a narrow canyon of our west
ern mountains.
This great wheat area has made
Portland fourth among the ports of
the United States in the expectation
of this cereal. and during 1907 no
other section of the country will be-
gin to compare with the Pacific north
west either in quality or yield of wheat
production.

night riders, naught can be said in
defense of these modern outlaws,
who in spirit of madness, have
taken into their own hands to settle
by fire and sword, as it were, mat
tiers and conditions that should be
adjusted in an entirely different man
ner.
Whatever they may have gained
for their cause, and we fear it has
been but little, the night riders have
heaped upon Kentucky a measure of
shame and disgrace that must leave
its mark for many years.
The days of outlawry and half-savs
age adjustment of human affairs are
past, and such acts as are perpetrated
by the night riders in the name of
justice are but a mockery of the
name, and the agents in whose hands
rest the responsibility of these
crimes, deserve not only the severest
censure of all law-abiding citizens,
but the just punishment of the law
as we'll.
However heartily one may be in
sympat ny with the fight Of the FAR
mers against the organization that
Cypress them, no right-sssing man
can for moment suppose Of hope
to aid these conditions by such acts
as have recently darkened this Sec
ton Of Kentucky Paducah News

Shoot to Kill.

The following letter appears in the
Owensboro Inquirer, who describes
its anonymous author as "a leading
lawyer and able jurist."
Some of our neighboring counties
are infected just now with bands of
lawless miscreants, who are being
called might riders" object to
the designation as insufficient'aand
misleading. 1t does not describe the
band referred to. l know not how
it came to be thus misapplied. 1t
must be admitted it's difficult to find
term that is descriptive. But when
an outlaw, an assassin; an anarchist,
marauder and would-be murderer is
simply called a might rider" the
English language is a miserable fail
ure. Judging the character of these
bands by their deeds the conclusion
is unavoidable that they are public
enemies; that they are savages; that
they are cowardly and brutal; that
they ought to be hunted like wild
beasts and shot down as such when
found.
They pretend friendship for farm
ers' organizations, but their pre-
lenses are basely false and are in
tended to mislead. They are friends
to no one. They have all the vices
of the anarchist with none Of his
courage of conviction. They are
wonderfully brave when they sur
prise an unarred, defenseless citi-
zen, and are wonderfully daring if
he is a poor man or friendless. The
intrepid manner in which they shoot
down women and children is striking.

1t is familiar story. For a year
or so the anarchists have been busy
perpetrating their outrages upon
farmers of the neighborhood, their
families and their crops. Hardly a
week passes that does not bring
with it fresh instance of coercion,
lawlessness and the interference
with the rights of citizens.
How long is this situation to be

to continue? How long is mob rule
to override the law? When will

Shame on State.

All Kentuekians must read with a
measure of shame, the comments
being made by the eastern press on
the depredations enacted almost
nightly by the night riders in the
dark tobacco section of Kentucky.
Always ready and willing to cast
a slur at Kentucky these recent de-
plorable incidents have presented
sufficient fuel for a goodly bunch of
of abuse dished out generously by
the newspapers of the east. While
they, as a matter Of course, magnify
in a manner the depredations of the

ties, if the civil authorities have not
been intimidated to the point of be-
ing afraid of making an effort along
that line, or who may be too cow
ardly to do so because they fear the
the influence of the might riders"
at the polls. If such state of af-
fairs exists as means that the county
ottlcialsare not going to do anything,
let the state officers take the situa-
ton in hand. Let Gov. Beckham go
after the night riders" and while
ne is suppressing them, let him also
take the cowardly county officials in
hand, and if they don't get a move
on them in helping to rid the coun-
try of the brutal might riders, "
rid the offices of incumbents who
disgrace the people whom they were
elected to serve. 1t is time for the

place of murder and destruction of

responsibility for the deplorabIe lax
