Wa-hiugtun Jan. THE decision
Of the United States supreme court
declaring the employers liza bility act
unconstitutional came as a surprise
IL practically every member of con
creSs. The debates in both houses
OF congress on this measure was un-
der consideration in the first session
Of the ifty -ninth congress, and show
that The lawyers of both bodies be-
lieved the measure as finally agreed
uyJn would stand the test OF the
court. The message of the president
al the present session alluded 10 this
same subject urging that the law
shUuld be made stronger, SO ii would
work automatically. That the presi-
dent scarcely expected an adverse de-
cision is shown by the language he
employed in urging additional legis-
alton.
Went Too Far.
While a similar fate is necessarily
in store for similar measures. the fact
that this one measure, the first of i'm
pJrtance 10 reach the supreme court,
should be declared unconstitutional on
the grounds that congress attempted
10 do TOO much, caused much com
ment.
That the. act is not in accordance
with the constitution was the conclu
sion reached in deciding two railroad
damage cases from the federal courts
of Kentucky and Tennessee. The Law

Two Towns Visited and
Two Warehouses and
a Store Burned.
No Shots Fired, the People
in Both of the Towns
Being Terrorized.
Rv Associated Press.

Louisville, KY, Jan: IA special
from Paris, KY. says: Night riders
made their appearance in force in the
Burnley district late last night. visit
ing two towns, one in Fleming and
the other in Bath county, and destroy
ing two warehouses and a big general
store. The raiders did not fire any
shots in either place. but went about
their work quietly. leaving as soon as
the work had been accomplished. The
men were all masked and heavily
armed, and created a reign OF terror
among the citizens of the little vii
lagos.
People Unprepared.
The first Visit was made to the town
of Bethel in Bath county. This is a
little village of about 500 inhabitants.
and the people We're totally UMPIRE
pared for raid. The army marched
into the town shortly before mid
night. and those who we're aroused
were told to go back into their houses.
The mob proceeded directly UP the
main street of the village and, satu-
rating with oil the big independent
house of A. r. Robinson, soon had it
a mass OF flames. AS soon as the
riders had left the village the citizens
rushed to the scene of the flames
and attempted TO put out the fire.
A Big General Store.
Before they succeeded in this, how
ever. the general store OF Peters
Brothers, adjoining the warehouse.
was burning, and all efforts 10 save
it were futile.
From Bethel the raiders visited the
little town of Sherbourne, in Fleming
county. where they destroyed the in
dependent warehouse OF Daugherty
Brothers. No shots We're fired, but
the raiders, in order 10 prevent any
aid from being summoned. cut all tel
ephone and telegraph wires leading
into both places. The loss caused by
the raid is not known. as the exact
amount Of tobacco in the warehouses
could not be ascertainad.

Old Farmer Hankins stood looking
down in evident disgust at the water
trough and faucet which had just been
placed in his barnyard by order of the
officials of the little town of Milldale
Not a drop of water came through the
faucet, although it was wide open
When the town officials applied to
Farmer Hankins for permission to dig
a ditch and lay water main through
his farm on the way from the springs
above to the village below he tod
them that he did not need any of the
water and he could not understand
why he should have his property dam

sioner of the village, big. brawny Heze-

sort to the law with Farmer Hankns,
To this Farmer Hankins replied that
if he chose he might take the law
and wallop him as much as he
pleased"
While sitting on Farmer Hankins'
fence he had argued with the old man
the greater part of a whole day on the
wonderful benefit it would be to the
people of the village and that Farmer
Hankins could not do anything better
that would bring him so many friends.
In fact, he would become a public ben
efactor. The village was poor and
could not very well afford to go to any
great expense in the matter of paying
for the right of way. However all ar
gument was useless, said Farmer Han
kinS. The farmers were always being
swindled in every way by unfeelinS

towns. One afternoon shortly after her
fathers failure TO come to terms with
Farmer Hankins she rode over to the

Farmer Hawkins thought that Agatha
never looked prettier in all her life, but
at the same time he was not to be so
easily captured. If he wanted water
trough. he thought he could have put
one there himself without the assist
ance of the town.
But you Ravens got the spring, have

was destitute of springs. so that when,
