PLUMP FOLKS AND THIN ONES,

Mcpherson.

The line of beauty is a cuuc.
Women may be thin and graceful, but
not thin and beautiful. There is a
vast number OF pale, thin, scrawny
people who are all brains and nerves,
but without the strength and heath
that accompanies the standard weight
Good flesh and perfect health go to-
gether A true Aesh-forming food
like Samose IL absolutely necessary
to many people.
This remarkable discovery comes
in tablet form and when taken after
meas ming,es with the food and
helps il to assimilate so that It makes
rich blood and pleasing piumpness.
No one can use this wonderful flesh
forming food for 10 days without a
noticeable gain In flesh ana strength.
Carefully kept statistics show that
out OF every hundred people who be-
gin the use of Samose. 9S per cent in
crease in weight and their health and
strength are restored.
Mcpherson has so much confidence
in this remarkable flesh-forming food
and health restorer that he Is willing
and glad to allow any customer to
deposit soc with them AMI take home
a box of Samose with the understand
ing that II it does not give a marked
increase in good. firm flesh the money
will be returned without any ques-
tions.
Take advantage OF this offer. The
risk is all his and YOU have almost
the certainty of pleasing gain in

NIGHT RIDERS AND THE hurley
POOL,

POOL.
We can understand the opinion OF
the Kentucky State Journal that. but
for the night riders the hurley pool
would have been failure. The
| Journal has not attempted TO justify
night riding on that ground. nor has
Il exalted the advantage gained by
the farmers in the pool Rather the
declaration that night riding is es-
sential to the perpetuation of a pool
of producers reflects on the character
of the pool.
We, who know what night riders
are and their object, are not misled
BY the suggestion that the depreda-
tons of the band are directed toward
the trust. We know they are an in
strument in the hands of the organiz-
ers OF the pool TO keep the members
straight and to induce independent
growers to join the pool.
That Is what Mr.. Walton meant.
Men are forced into these pools.
against their will. Some of them are
troopers and depend for the comfort
Of their families and the education
OF their children on prompt sales of
their tobacco. They cannot afford to
wait two or three years for their
money Other men, when tobacco
went up. went in debt for land. and
they needed their tobacco money to
meet their notes. They could not af-
ford to wait two or three years for
their money. Then there were men,
who voluntarily entered the compact,
but grew restless when they saw their
independent nebghbors selling out at
high price, and their own tobacco
depreciating in weight and being re-
graded downward and still unsafe
able. 1t was necessary at this junct-
ure to hold the organization together
with a firm hand, and night rider
notes, tobacco bed scraping, whipping
burning and sometimes murder were
introduced as means to the end that
the pool be preserved.
OF course, the result has been what
every intelligent man expected. The
night riders did not stop at that. Ev-
cry crime on the calendar has been
committed by some of its members in
the name of the organization, and to
those crimes every man who took the
oath is a consprator.
In estimating the cost Of the pool
one must consider the land thrown on
the market, the depreciation of real
estate. the loss of wealth by burning
the murder and exile of wealth pro
ducers. the disbursement of immi-
grafton. the impoverishing of the
whole hurley district from 1906 to
l19OS. the interest on the money tied
up in the pool, the depreciation in
weight of the tobacco, the expense Of
maintaining the pool, and the loss TO
those merchants. manufacturers and
transportation companies, that de-
pended on the tobacco country for
their business, and many other
things.
Probably while the hurley pool was
In existence and the market was be-
ing depleted the Independent grow
ers sold out at a good profit long ago,
and those. who dared, raised another
crop this year and sold i out at the
same price the pool got.
The Journals declaration does not
necessarily mean, either that the pool
was beneficial or that the night riders
were justified.
