Night riders in Kentucky are
still engaged in perpetrating das-
tardly deeds. Arson and murder
are their favorite crimes. 1t seems
that the evil has COTTON beyond the
control of civil authorities in that
state and the end is shrouded as to
what dire calamities will result
Uncle Sam, doubtless. will have to
interfere before the evil is wiped
out. If it is a power forbidden to
the general government. it ought
not to be,-night riding should be
blotted out Already the evil Is
taking hold of the ignorant and
vicious in other States where no
grounds exist for the practice, and
unless curbed, will extend to every
State whether agricultural, mining,
or manufacturing.

Farmers must have become very
tired of the following advice, which
has numbered the columns Of
many newspapers for SO many
years; Raise all that you can for
home use, then raise cotton The
above advice is a hobby for editors

readers when news is scarce.
Wa tch for it, and followit fit suits
you. If not, plant the crop most
profitable to you under existing
conditions-Cotton, peanuts, or
corn. You can't change the con-
ditions. but you can pass intelli-
gently on what to raise.

bright, red blood brings fine complex

President Roosevelt had returned
from a horseback ride only a short
time before COughlin appeared at
Sagamore HILL He did not witness the
arrest Of the crank and has not been
Informed Of the occurrence.
The news that an armed crank had
attempted TO reach the president at
Sagamore Hin started a series Of TIE
usual rumors accompanying such an
incident. The one most widely circu-
lated here was TO the effect that a
shot had been fred al the president
while he was out horseback riding last
Saturday. II was said that the presi-
dent was riding along the Cove road
near the house OF his cousin. W. Emlen
ROosevelt. when he was fired upon by
some ons concealed in clump Of
bushes at the roadside.
That there was any foundation for
the story was denied by those in a DO
sition 10 know. James Sloan. Jr.. the
chief of the presidents guard of secret
service men, emphatically denied the
story Of the ambush. and his denial
was echoed by the other operative
who was said to have been with the
president.
