Kentucky Is the tobacco State. While
she produces hemp, wheat, corn. horses,
hogs and cattle in abundance and with
profit, tobacco Is her great cash crop.
OF the no counties (mountain, blue
grass and Westerly there are few if
any which do not consider the plant
staple. 1t is the crop which costs the
most to produce, calls for the greatest
amount of labor, most rapidly debili-
tates the soil and, under normal condi-
lions. brings the greatest returns.
Kentucky may be divided into four
large districts, with four separate and
distinct types Of tobacco, none Compel
Ing with the others. In the extreme
western part Of the State is the dark
tobacco district (Which includes about
twenty counties in Kentucky and ten In
Tennessee). There the growers are or

the courts; defiance Of the other L.,
more difficult Of correction
So long as the night riders confined
themselves to the rakinz of tobacco
beds there was little criticism. When
valuable warehouses were burned there
was general expression of indigna-
ton and condemnation. When murder
was resorted to the manhood and de-
cency of Kentucky were reused to
height which demanded that all night
riding must cease and that the crimi-
nails who had gone to such terrible ex-
cesses must be discovered and pun
ished
1t Is not difficult to account for night
riding in its incipiency. And from this
basis perhaps 1t is easy to understand
how irresponsible, daredevil young
men. prompted by love of rough adj
venture and occasionally by personal
spite, took advantage of conditions to
commit excuses and outrages.
Accompanying the night riding which
has been such an unfortunate feature
OF the tobacco producers fight against
the trust there has been more than ons
tragedy, but the one which attracted
the most attention and created the
greatest indignation was the killing Of
Hiram Hedges by some member Of a
masked mob
Hedges was Woodworking, honest
man for whom 1t has been long strug-
gle to support his numerous family He
was man Of decent morals, was count
ed good neighbor and was not knowc

ers In his part of the State, he was a
tobacco grower, but In a small way. In
his immediate neighborhod there had
been very little organizing among the
farmers and he was not an Equity man
One night he was visited by a mob OF
about seventy-five men, called to the
door, accused Of planting tobacco, and
in the presence of his family was rid.
died with shot.
The murder Of Hedges was about as
unprovoked and cold-bIooded a crime
as could be committed. 1t was a result
Of night riding. Nevertheless neither
this nor other outrages should be attrib

criminality heartily and. outside Of the
