 Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 17.-Ls R. Davis, president of the new tobacco association at Hopkinsville, Ky, has addressed the following letter to Fe- lix G. Ewing, general managers of the Planters Protective Associations:
 Tt has developed that a number Of citizens of Christian county Ky, joined the Planters Protective Asso-. ciation on account of being intini- dated. Their sole object in affiliat- ing with your organization was to protect their property. and to prevent the night riders from shooting into their houses and burning their barns, and perhaps taking their lives Under these circumstances they feel that they have the right to sell their to. bacco into our organization, as their act in Joining the Planters Protective Association was not voluntary, but was brought about on account of the universal feeling in our county of fear.
 Now, write you to ascertain if the association will release from their pledges. ali members who will make affidavit that they joined the associa- tion op account of fear to protect their property. It Is my pleasure to remain.
 Yours truly.

Columbus. Miss, Dec. 17.--(speciaL) ) Although officials of the Mobile. Jackson and Kansas City Railroad deny the authenticity of the report that the road has been sold to the Uni ted States Steel Corporation, and that the line is to be extended to St. Louis and New Orleans, with a branch to Birmingham, there seems little doubt that 8 line from Birmingham to some point in Central or South Mississippi is contemplated, and that plans for its construction are nearing maturity.
 As was stated in recent dispatch from this city, a party of civil engi- neers surveyed line through Coium- bus several weeks ago and another party of men were here last night. The party consisted of seven men and is in charge of Sumpter Lea, who did not stop here but went on to Birmingham
 One of the engineers stated that 8 second survey of the line was being made from StarkvGlle, Miss, to Wind ham Springs, Ala, for the purpose of avoiding q hill encountered In the or iginal route.
 The man said that great secrecy was being maintained in the whole matter, and declared that he did not know the name of the corporation or individual back of the scheme, his salary being paid him by the chief engineer in charge of the party.
 The party left here early this morn ing. with Windham Springs as the point of destination, and the young man said they would be met there by the chief engineer, who would give them further instructions.

 These class games which go on after Christmas" the coach said, have a lot to do with developing good material for the year following.

WILL HOLD BATTALION DRILL.


starIxe's Cadets To Have Picture Taken
 At Capitol Today.
 Today at noon Starke's University School will hold battalion drill on the Capitol grounds. and when in complete parade will have their picture taken. After the formation for the picture the battalion will march down Dexter Ave nue to Bastiana and Cassimus' where refreshments will be served them.
 Many who live between the Capitol and the barracks on Houston Street have seen the cadets in their various formations, but there has been but one occasion on which the battalion has passed through the centre of the town. The march down Dexter Avenue today about I2:30 o'clock will therefore prove highly interesting to many.
