cd noble qualities of the heart, &C., cording to pr. Rankin. by his prompt and decided stand in running down the perpetrators of the ,outrages.
 My brother, it was Ahown in all that section. was an ardent and active supporter of Senator Carmack in the late Gubernatorial race" said Dr. Ram kin. "The friends of my brother are exts edingly grateful for what he has done in spite of politics. He has made friends by the act.
 Governor Patterson Is eminently fitted for the exacting task of bring ing the night riders to justice. He had long experience as prosecuting at- torney in the Memphis district before he was elected Governor. He knows criminals as probably few men of Ten- nessee know them. That he has made great progress in his ordeal and Is do- ing SO still is demonstrated by the ap- parent helpless attitude. of the guilty parties and confessions obtained"
 pr. Rankin's interview clearly dis illusions the public on one thing. This is the reported poverty of the lake re- zion inhabitants and offering 1t in palliation of the outrages. It was pointed out in some quarters that these people had been raised to the occu- patton of fishing for livelihood and knew no other means of making a liv- ing. The taking away of their priv ileges was looked upon by them as robbing them of their rights by na- ture.
 such was not tie state of affairs, however Dr. Rankin travelled he said, over fifty miles through the country approaching the scene of the tragedy from the south. He has rare ly seen richer land and better crop prospects. The land Is fine nearly all the country wide and especially in the fertile valleys of obion County There was no excuse for pillage or murder or night riding. to earn a living.
 The west Tennessee Land Company is a corporation which bought up all the rights to the lake and the land on which 1t rests. The lake was form ed by the overflow of the Mississippi River and an earthquake In 1911 which spread the water over an area of about twenty three miles long and from four to Ave miles wide. The early settlers of Tennessee had entered the land prior to the overflow and it was from these that certain parties bought the holdings getting therefore quit claim deeds These sold to the new company mentioned lake property, all but few who owned land adjoining the lake. And to these was awarded stock in the corporation and everybody who had any conceivable rights under the law was pacifled.
 1t is said that many of the people now under arrest are large land own CTS of the country surrounding the Reelfoot Lake. They are not classed as ciiffdwelIes cave inhabitants whose rights have been trampled un- der foot by a greedy corporation and who in some quarters have been par tlally defended in their outrages. It seems to have sprung from business jealousy, from a vicious covetousness that led to murder fin disappointment when the rightful owners of the lake would not yield to the threats. .ts

During recent heavy snow the coy

fawns stand no chance at all with the
ravenous bruteS. On every side can he

every other part of the state the coyotes
have completely cleaned them out in oar

beaver near Hot Sulphur Springs and
these have been unmolested by the set

score. Unless some reward for killing
coyotes is offered there will soon be no
