ENTHUSIASM OF CARMACK AND PATTERSON

decided majority. His supporters,
! many of them, claimed that two-thirds
of the audience were his followers
but the same claim was put forward
/ by the Patterson leaders and there
you are. 1t would not be possible to
reconcile the claims of the two oppos-
ing forces, but there is no question
about Carmack having the big end of
the audience by almost if not quite
/ two to. one.
That this county will be the chief
battle-ground of the campaign and
that the prohibition issue will be
the chief one was demonstrated. This
question has dwarfed all others in
the minds and hearts of the people of
Davidson county. The demonstration
which greeted Senator Carmack's en-
phatic declaration for statewide pro-
hibition was the greatest that he re-
ceived and it was evidence that very
large proportion of the people of Dav-
idson county intend to vote for the
utter and final destruction of this
greatest foe of the home and of good
government.
Mr.. Carmack's position upon the
primary question met the hearty ap-
probation of majority of his hearers,
but while it appealed to their sense
of fair dealing and to their reason it
did not touch their hearts as did his
denunciation of the saloon. Enthus
iasm knew no bounds when Mr.. Car
mack made an impassioned appeal to
the people to put aside all sordid and
selfish reasons and rise in their might
and destroy forever the liquor traffic
in Tennessee.

TRIED TO RUN
NEGROES AWAY
OBJECT or ALLEGED BAND OF
MAURAUOERS IN TRIoe,
COUNTY, KY.
WARRANTS OUT FOR TWELVE Men
Charged With lntimidating Lsborers
And Driving Them From
Country.

CADIZ, KY, April 2S-Walter Good
win, of Center Furnace, fourteen
miles from Cadiz, where a large iron
works is operated, appeared before
County Judge Bingham this afternoon
and swore out warrants for twelve
employees OF the iron works, charging
them with banding and confederating
together to intimidate negroes ard en-
deavorirg to drive them ont CT the
community The Sheriff left this af-
ternoon with The warrants ard tcle-
phoned from Center Furnace tonight
that he had arrested two of the men
accused and expected to get all of the
others without trouble.
Judge Bingham declined to give out
the names of the men charged with
he offense until after all the arrests
have been made, but it is understood
that the defendants are all white and
that they are charged with making an
organized effort to rid the place of all
negro employees.
The trouble has no connection with
the tobacco situation and it is said
that the members of the band went no
further in their campaign against the
negroes than to send threatening let
tiers, telling the negroes to leave or
they would be visited by night riders.
So far as known no negro employed
by the iron works has been attacked
or whipped and the action of Mr..
Goodwin in swearing out the warrants
will probably prevent any further
steps in the matter, even should the
men accused not be the ones guilty of
making the threats.
Center Furnace is located in the dis
trict popularity called Between the
a strip of land few miles
wide between the Cumberland and
Tennessee rivers. In some parts of
this strip no negroes have ever been
allowed to live and it was at Birming
ham in this same strip that night
riders recently killed three negroes in
an attempt to drive out the colored
population. Negroes have been en-
ployed by the iron works for several
years, and the lawless white element,
taking advantage of the disturbances
in other parts of Western Kentucky,
to force the employment Of
white men only at the furnace.
Gen. Roger Williams, who is in CON-
mand of the troops in this section Of
the State, left Murray last nigkt with
sixteen men and rode into Trigg coun-
ty today. Tonight he is in camp his
soldiers about two and one-half miles
from Center Furnace. Whether his |
arrival had any connection. with Mr., |
trip to Cadiz is not known, |
as a general policy Of silence has been |
adopted by the militiamen when their
are under discussion. 1t |
may have been that Gen. Williams
had been informed of the. conditions
at Center Furnace and that no effort
was made to break up the band until
soldiers were in the civinity to back
mp the county peace officers should
my attempt to resist arrest be made.
The men arrested by the Sheriff
will be brought to Cadiz and given an
immediate hearing before Judge Bing-
ham.
