FIGHT RIDERS WITH
THEIR OWN FIRE
Kentucky Governor Advises lndspend-
ent Tobacco Growers to Shoot
Down Night Riders.

Frankford. Ky. Oct. flight the
devil with his own fire is the method
that Governor Wilson is advising the
Independent growers of tobacco in
Kentucky to adopt In their struggles
against the night riders.
Piles OF letters are stacked in his
desk, the governor, says, from people
appealing to him and asking him
whether they must pool their tobacco
or whether they will be afforded pro-
lection by the militia If they do not
pool it.
Organize liberty leagues and kill
the nocturnal invaders" is the advice
that the governor gives. In state
ment Sunday Governor Wilson light
ed the fire that will set the whole of
the hurley and dark tobacco district
aflame today.
He says that no man should pool his
tobacco unless he wants to, and that
he win pardon any man who resorts to
arms to protect his home. That civil
war will follow in Kentucky as re-
suit of this published statement would
not come as surprise, for the situa-
tion is intense and the crisis for the
Independents or the organization men
will be reached within the next few
days.
He says, in part:
.'You will remember that have
made public address to our people ask
ing them to defend their homes. and
assured them that If they did defend
their homes, and were careful not to
make mistake and kill any innocent
person. but simply necessary defense
of their lives, liberty and property,
they would not need any lawyer.
Il have never withdrawn that proc
lamation. 1t is my most serious con-
viction OF my duty. 1t was made with
full knowledge Of its serious character,
and it is my set purpose to keep the
faith under that proclamation. If
mems interest in a business plan to
form a combination to raise the price
Of their crops, which is entirely proper
and wise if lawfully carried on. is SO
great that they will form pool that
.alls into lawlessness, why should not
self-respecting. free Kentuckians form
/ liberty. or freedom, pool; thousand
lines more serious and earnest than
my pool for money profit; and why
should they not fight for their liberties, !
when the law Is behind them and the |
tate government is with them?
Governor Wilson will depart for
Boston today.

Night of Carnival Ends

New York, Oct. A night carnival

allegorical and legendary nature. Its
bearing upon the events of the week

the early colonlsts brought TO this

JUDGE TR0UP DENIES PLEA
TO RESTORE DINUZZ0 LICENSE
Rejects Application to Set Aside Or
der of Revocation Till Su-
preme Court Acts.

The application of Frank Dinuzzo's at
torneys to have the revoking Of his license
set aside until an appeal can be heard was
denied by Judge Troup.
The request was made on the ground that
the action OF the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners was contrary to the state
constitution in Furnishing a man before an
appeal could be heard. A supersedeas was
asked overruling the board and Mr.. Giler
cited the case of II. c. Ram, a saloon
keeper whose license was revoked In 1905
for selling on Sunday. In hat case q sup.
ersedeas was granted and the saloonkeeper
was allowed to continue in his business
until the appeal could be heard. Judge
Troup declined to follow the precedent.
A motion for a new trial has been filed
in the criminal case against Dinuszo. Al.
though he pleaded guilty, his attorneys as.
sert In the motion that the facts which he
admitted do not properly constitute an
offense under the law and for that reason
hold the cour in error.
The papers for the appeal to the supreme
court on this case were TO be filed Friday
and as It will be advanced out OF its turr
because Of its urgent nature 1t may get Z
hearing in October.

APPOINT AFTER PRIMARIES
Leslie Says They Will Then Name
Man for Kennard's Place.
WISE TO CHOOSE sHoRT.TERMER
Want 20 Avoid Necessity of Another
ChauGe-Boas Flynn Says Dez-
Ocr~ts Are After the Long
Term Job Only.

The republican nominee for the unex-
pired term OF county commissioner from
the First district to fiji the vacancy caused
by the death Of NJ. J. Kennard, will doubt
less be appointed to fill out the term be-
tween the time Of the primary and cleo
tlon day next November.
This is the opinion Of County Judge
Leslie, one Of the three officials en-
powered TO make the appointment The
other two appointing officials are County
Clerk Hsveriy and County Treasurer
Furay.
The three officials are republicans and
therefore the appointee will be a republi-
can, especially because the late incumbent
Of the office was a republican. Judge
Leslie believes II would be the wise thing
to appoint the nominee for the short term
20 as not to necessitate another change
AFTER election for the two months inter
veuing before the regularly elected Of
ficials go into office in January Of next
year. The democrats have no candidate
for the short commissions term and Tom
Flynn, boss of the party locally, says
that his party does not expect TO secure the
appointment for a democrat and, further,
will not ask for II. B
Il have not talked to Mr.. Haveriy or Mr..
Furay about the matter said Judge Leslie,
but since It has gone as long as II has 1
think we will postpone the appointment
another week until the primaries are held.
1t Is then more than probable that the re-
publican nominee will be appointed. We
would not think Of appointing one of the
candidates for the long term. as that would
show Partially. Neither do I think It
advisable TO appoint a man not a candidate
for the short term for the reason that he
would just about get accustomed to the
office and be in a position to give the
county valuable service when the man
elected In November would dispiace him"
County Clerk Haverly and County Treas
urer Furay declined to express themselves
as to the probable appointee.
I'VE are after the long term offices and
will not bother with this short term"
said Boss Flynn. 1T would take as much
energy to elect a man for the two months
Of the short term as to elect him for the
three years Of the long term. and the game
is not worth the candle"
John Grant and N. p. Dodge, Jr., are The
republican candidates for the short COM
missioner term, with Grant picked for the
lead.

Nix on the Car
With Thirteen
Men Friday, 18th
Such q Combination is Too Much
for This Drummer to
Tackle.

Would he ride on a street car with eleven
passengers, a conductor and a motormap
on Friday the thirteenth? Oh, no; not
this travelling man. He would rather walk
than ride under those circumstance.
II was at the corner OF Twenty-fourth
and Dodge streets that he boarded a Har-
ney car. His two sample grips he dropped
on the rear platform and kicked them up
against the back Of the car. From his
pocket he drew forth a morning paper and
leaned against the rail to read. About the
first thing his eyes lit on was the date line.
Friday, August 49,"
Gee. this is the thirteenth" he ejacu-
lated with a glance at the conductor.
You bet It is" replied the fare collector,
who had been keeping track Of the passen-
gers who boarded the car, and you make
the thirteenth person on this car"
"what7' This in the most astonished
tone. well. here's where your Uncle
Billy gets off this car. I don't think I'm
superstItiouH, but 1 don't want to mix UP
with anything tina has thirteen around 1t.
Just stop the car"
BY that time Twentieth and Dodge was
reached and the travelling man climbed off
with both his grips. Just as he went to
cross the street to take a Dodge car for
the rest Of his journey . big automobile,
whose driver had not seen the drummer,
whlzzed by and barely missed hitting one
Of his grips. As the drumme glanced
around to look at the car he observed its
number. 1t was 1S4S.
This surely seems to be my fatal day"
he remarked to a short-set mar who stood
on the curb waiting for a car. Il Just feel
that I'm going TO be bothered al day by
this strange combination Of Friday and
thirteen. 1 kind Of wish 1 hadn't started
out on my trip today. Bet you I don't
repeat this stunt, No more OF It for little
Willie"
A Dodge car. crowded full, came along
then and the drummer had to stand on the
steps Of the rear platform and place his
knees against his grips to keep them from
falling off the car.

friends Of both families attended a
farmers institute at Huntersville to-
day, and Bate Davis and Charles Cox
met In front Of the post Office and re-
newed the trouble over the dog.
Cox was getting the better of the
fight when the Hucks brothers inter-
fered This drew the Cox faction

Reece Hucks, who died a half-hour
after being transferred to the Char

st. Matthew's, Aug. 22.-Immedi-
ately after the election favoring pro-
hibition in this county, the town
council put an extra 5-mill levy
upon the property of the taxpayers.
AS result, there has been weeping,
wailing and gnashing of teeth. The
amusing feature Is that some of the
most enthusiastic prohibitionists are

How anybody could expect other
than a raise of taxes is not explain

5-mill increase is only a mild begin

order to adjust matters peaceably.
