This is the day of the week, and the month and the day of the month--Sun- day, September 2o--when one of the great battles of the world was fought, Many Alabamians were there.

But 1t was Van Dord who dispatched Forrest to meet Streight in Northern. Alabama. The execution of this order by Forrest was second to no achievement or the kind ever known.

Our usually careful and we'll in- formed contemporary. The Charlotte Observer, has been misled into saying:
 The night riders of Alabama and Arkansas have gone a bow-shot be-. yond those of Mississippi who have merely notified ginners to suspend bus mess. In the two States first named, cotton planters are being held up and threatened with dire consequences un- less they reduce acreage and hold their crop for the minimum price fixed by the Fort Worth convention.
 While something Of the sort has been reported in Arkansas and Mississippi, there has been nothing of the kind in Alabama. The farmers and cotton raisers of Alabama are naturally law abiding people, and we do not believe they will engage in such despicable practices as our North Carolina friend charges against them. It is, we are sure. a case of transformation on it's part and we hope to see speedy cor rection of the error into which 1t has fallen.
