w, Il. Williamson Declares He
Was Forced by Threats to
Join and His Tobacco Was
Improperly Handled.

Eddyville, Ky, Dec. 30.-(Spe-
cial) w I. Williamson, a planter
whose 1907 crop of tobacco is in the
Planters Protective association and
unsold, has filed suit here to enjoih
the association from enforcing its
contract for delivery of his 1908 crop
and to enjoin it from threatening
him or visiting him with masked
bands, and for $4,000 damages.
Mr.. Williamson resides in the New
Saratoga section of Lyon county ana
his suit was filed by w. l.. Crum-
baugh. county judge, as his attorney.
Williamson describes the defendant
as a corporation, company, individ-
ual, animal, demon or creature of
some kind, fearfully and wonderfully
made; with such infinite powers that
1t has subjected a whole people TO its
sway, destroyed the sanctity Of trial
by jury. eliminated the possibility of
presentation for Indictment, and con-
trolled the legislature"
He said he was compelled by
threats to join the association and h.
delivered his tobacco to the prizer at
Eddyville. who handled II improperly
and made it unsaleable. He said.
whereas it was priced at 10A cents,
II will not bring over cents around.
He says he importunei the associa-
ton officers to sell the tobacco, but
they did not, and he was compelled
to drop a policy of $4,000 life insur-
ance in the Woodmen of the World,
on which he had paid $95. He told
of the hardships he experienced get
ting actual subsistence, and the need
and humiliation to which members of
his family we're subjected, because
his tobacco was not sold and he had
no money.
He says that unless the court en-
joins it, the defendant will seek by
threats and visits of masked bands to
compel him to deliver his 1903 crop.
