B. Hawkins, the man who origi-

first president of the Burley To

publish in a card, a warning to
growers of their probable fate il
they disobey the ultimatum Of
the Equity Society on the crop
of 1908.
The substance of the warning
in part follows:
"When your plant bed is scrap
ed or your barn burned, send To
Gov. Wilson and he will let you
have battalion of soldiers aud a
gatling gun to protect your pro-
perty and maybe save you from q
whipping. There is an old say.

in this way by flying in the face
of public opinion and also in the
face of determined men who be.
lieve you their worst enemy and
who will stop at anything tC
right their supposed wrongs1
The majority has said, No
crop in 1905 What will you do
SOW your beds and begin a year
of torment, for it will be 1856
days of h. for you, sleeples'
nights, alarm at every noise
what are the riders doing nowi
Are they only scraping plant
beds, or are they after my barn
or, o. horrows, are they after
my back with their damnabit
switches?
''Do not hug to yourself a de.
fusion and say, 1T won't come<tC
me- Hasn't it come to the
highest?
"Flee from the wrath tc
come, for if you plant tobacco
you are sowing a whirl wind.
Mutterings and mumblings are
heard on all sides and the out,
ragged farmers will not stand per.
secution always, and say tc
you, that in my opinion, trouble
will come to you if you plant a
crop in 1908"

For years Kentucky has been
known to the outside world as a
state famous for its pretty wo:
men, fast horses, fine tobacco
and good whiskey. The state is
now fast becoming prohibition as
to sentiment; the race course, so
far as betting is concerned, is
being tabooed, while tobacco,
while not suffering in quality or
price, seems to be causing much
trouble. Thank goodness, our
women are still the fairest and

Miss Schmidt appeared at the

this inerasible mixture. The

Threats Of Retaliation A d d /;

,AEN HIGH IN THE SOCIETY
RECIPIENTS or GRAVE WARNING

Mt. Sterling, KY, Feb. pa
sensation was caused here today
when it became known that
many members in the Society of
Equity in this, Montgomery
county, had received threatening
letters through the mails regard
inr tobacco raising. The letters
bear the postmark of the local
office.
Al copy of one of the letters
was secured today by the Asso-
.ciated Press correspondent,
which had been sent to j. M.
Bigstaf, President Of I he
Traders Bank, the wealthiest
man in the county and a large
land owner. He was formerly
on the Equity board of this
county.
Powdsr and Matches.
The letter was written on a
typewriter and mailed in a white
envelope, and in the envelope
with the letter was brown en-
velope as a smaller size, which
contained powder and matches.
The notice read as follows:
"Dear sir: This is to notify
You if there is any beds or any
tobacco destroyed in Montgomery
or Bath counties this 1908 you
had better look out for your own
property" 'TENNANTs."
Others Get Warning.
Similar letters were received
by other members of the society,
and Harve Pruitt and Lucien
Bridgeworth and other tobacco
and cattle raisers received letters
signed in the same way and
written on the same kind of
paper and evidently on the same
typewriter, saying:
''If we cannot raise tobacco,
you can't raise and cattle"
Some of these letters were
turned over to the postal author
tiles. This is the first instance
of members of the Society of
Equity being threatened.

Mr.. Bradley speaks in highest

would "make a great Presi-

the Federal Office holders which
is quoted:
"The Federal office holders in
Kentucky have never failed

"In 1907, the Federal office
