from other state of the union to the
horror of the world
Is Black Patch high-handed savag-
cry possible in this state?
The question is almost urgent as
timid ones are apprehensive and
alarmists are busy. The various pub
lications of Mississippi have broached
the subject. The governor has been
approached upon the matter and
urged to take precautionary measures.
Just what peculiarities of lempera-
ment have the tobacco syower of Ken
lucky and the cotton planter of Mis-
sissippi in common and just how viii
the lattes mees i Trubl. IN wlt,n in
some respects is similar to that which
rouse da domestic war To tho north
are pertinent questions.
In the letters sent by unknown
parties to the ginners the writer's stat
ed that they were friends of the gin
ners, but that they would hesitate at
nothing to prevent the further ginning
of cotton, to be definite. until the price
went up to 12 cents. These let
ters are in themselves unlawful Their
authors are in a class with black
handlers and Malta They should, if
possible, be sought out and surmarily
punished. There should be no delay
in this regard upon the part Of the
authorities. The only way to catch
lawlessness is to nip it in the bud. 1t
gathers momentum as it goes and in
creases the culpability Of state Off
cials as it increases their burden Of
Quelling it.
The Daily News does not believe
that night-riding is probable in Mis-
sissippi, but we must admit the posi-
bility. Whitecapper outrages are still
fresh memory. There are two rea-
sons for this. In the first place the
situation is somewhat the same as was
that in Kentucky some years ago. In
Kentucky there was organized the
Dark Tobacco Planters Association.
The association was protected by a
constitution and bylaws and its pur-
pose was to secure fair prices for each
years crop. The association was
founded along proper and business
like lines and has done and is doing a

NIGHT RIDERS A JOKE
Apathy Of Some Of the influential Union Men in Not
Taking Decided Stand Against the Intimidation
Of Our Citizens May Possibly be Construed as
Sympathy.

Our best men should bestir them
selves and get into line against the
practical jokers who have been post
ing gins and giving notices to mer-
chants. 1t is just as much harm to
do this in joke as If in earnest, if
the threats are not carried out. We
should not sit back and wait until
these criminals take our inaction as
cowardice to come out and condemn
them and expect to hide behind the
lame excuse that we thought it was
only a joke. The ''Night-R joke"
certainly will be shot full of holes and
then we will realize that It was not
a joke at all. but the real thing. 1t
is with satisfaction that we note
throughout the state that the local
Unions are having the backbone to
come out and condemn this lawless-
ness in no measured terms. Let our
fair-weather brethren take some of
the storm or step out and give the
boys chance to lend us advice,
strength and courage to call halt to
every attempt to place the Union in
the position of sympathizers by wait
ing until we see which way the wind
blows.
TO show the attitude of our friends,
outside of the membership, we quote
below an editorial of the Daily News,
Sept. 1s:
Nip It In The Bud.
Is night riding possible in Missis-
sippi?
In three different counties, Clarke.
Lef1ore and Smith, cotton ginners have
received letters in which hell was
threatened in the event the ginners
continued to gin the staple. These
letters we're written about the same
time and received by ginners of differ
ent parts of the state almost upon the
same day.
Does this mean the concerted action
of a number of farmers or is it merely
the work of few cranks?
The question is pertinent one as,
in the one case it probably means for
mississippi regime of murder, incen.
diarism and rapine similar to that
which has dragged the nome Of Ken
lucky In the mire and ostracised her
The Mississippi Union advocate and Southern farm and home. (Jackson, Miss.) 1907-1909, 1908-09-30

Rapine, Incendiarism, Bloodshed, An
archy.
The Daily News is not making
charges at this stage Of the game. It
merely wants the state officials and
the farmers Of the state to do their
duty.
The constituted authorities of the
state, from the governor down to the
most obscure constable, should pro-
ceed to get busy and see to it that
this incipient orgie of crime is prompt
Iy suppressed.
The Farmers Union, with its $4,000
members in Mississippi, owes a duty
to itself by giving willing hand TO
this work
No suspicion. Of course, is attached
to the Farmers Union, ais an organiza-
tion. The Daily News will not believe
that this splendid body of farmers
would countenance such acts. How
ever. the finger of suspicion has al
ready been pointed. It viii be recalled
that the Grange and the Farmers Al
lance were destroyed by politicians,
and the Farmers Union cannot afford
to incur the risk of being destroyed
by anarchy. That the lawless acts
that have occurred in this state have
been directed by some organized in.
fiuence is beyond any doubt The
warnings to ginners were served on
the same day, and in widely-separated
sections of the state. Connivance is
too apparent to be disputed. The
Farmers Union should therefore not
only regard it as a duty, but privi-
1ege, to come forward with most en-
phatic disclaimer and pledged
loyal support to the authorities
in ferreting out the parties who
have served these lawless notices.
and every possible aid in preventing
similar occurrences. Denials will not
be convincing unless accompanied by
spirit of willingness to give aid in
the enforcement of the law.
In common with all the people of
Mississippi, we want to see the farm
ers get twelve cents per pound for
their cotton, and more if possible. bur
we want that price obtained by lawful
methods and not through a species of
anarchy that will earn for US an unen-
viable notriety such as that now at
tached to the name of Kentucky, and
which viii be indissolubly associated
with the Blue Grass state for many
for many years to come.
The Mississippi Union advocate and Southern farm and home. (Jackson, Miss.) 1907-1909, 1908-09-30
good work.

good work.
Unfortunately, an inner circle was
formed, probably in the heart of the
association itself, which vented it's en-
ergy in night-riding. The association
does not believe in night-riding, but it
is stated that a few of its members do,
and these few members led in the
outrages.
This was unfortunate for the asso-
citation and damaging for the peace
and prosperity of the state of Ken
lucky.
In Mississippi, along with other
states the Farmers Union has been
organized The Union is protected
by constitution and it's purposes is
to secure for cotton planters a fair
price for each years. crup AS with
tobacco, the price of cotton may be
held down to an unwarranted price by
speculative methods.
In insisting that cotton be held for
better prices, are not some men, the
authors of these letters, mayhap, do
ing exactly what their brothers in
Kentucky did? Is it not possible that
these very men belong to the Farmers
Union, and that they too are forming
an inner circle?
This would be unfortunate for the
Farmers Union and damning for the
state of Mississippi.
There is something else that also in
vites consideration. Night-riding, as
with suicide and killing, is apt to be-
come epidemic Where violence and
bloodship prevail in one state neigh
boring states are prone to become af-
fected. The rampage in Kentucky is
already incipient in Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi. This is evidenced by the
scattered happenings of the past few
days Are we, as Mississippians i'm
mune? This is the question that de-
mands an answer.
In all of this there is a deadly
parallel"

SNOW MAKES MORE TROUBLE.
Fall This Morning Was Light But
Bad One For Railroads

An eight inch fall Of light snow piled
ur troubles for transportation compan.
les and street cleaners this morning
The weather began to cloud up yester-
day, soon after the intensely cold spell,
and by midnight the fall Of snow com
menced. There was steady sitting
until daylight and the fall continued
at d lesser pace during the day.
Like unto previous occasions, the
Central Vermont railroad was one of
the first to feel the blow, and its night
trains were trying TO keep up with
schedule but losing ground all tine time.
The southbound midnight train on the
main line was over three hours late,
and the northb0und was something like
an hour OFF time. The snow was light
but it retarded the progress Of the iron
horse badly. On top Of that, q freight
got off the iron near Essex Junction
and added to the road discontinue.
Then when the Barre branch train
got around to start from the Junction
there were six inches Of trouble on the
iron. 1t took nearly an hour for the
train to get through to Barre. Twice it
bucked the grade near Dodge's umsue-
cessfully and after grand burst Of
energy the locomotive Slid over the
height Of land and rolled down into
town. That was at 5;45 o'clock, two
hours behind the schedule arrival.
Street Supt. Bruce had gang Of men
at work before daylight clearing the
and shoyelers completed the
task. There is plenty Of snow on the
ground now for all practicable purposes.
