Passes Away After Very
Brief Illness.

Lafayette. KY, Feb. 6.-Mr. E.
B. Smith died at his home in this
place yesterday at 6 p. m. of fistula.
His health had not been gocd for
some months but he was confined to
his bed only about week, and his
death was very unexpected as he
was not thought to be seriously i'll
until the day before he died. He
was as years old and was a member
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church at Bennettstown The funer-
al was preached this afternoon in the
Methodist church here by his pastor,
Rev. Woodruff, after which the re-
mains were laid to rest in Powell
cemetery by the Modern Woodmen
of America, of which order he was
an honored member.
He had been in the grocery busi-
ness here for 5 or 6 years and the
larg concourse of sorrowing friends
which followed the remains to their
last resting place attest his popular
ity. He leaves a wife and two small
and many relatives and
friends to mourn his demise.

FARMER DISCUSSES.
The Threats of Prosecutions
for Violation of Crecilius
Bill.

KENTUCKIAN:
/ saw warning in the Kentuckian
to the members of the association,
saying they will be prosecuted for
selling their tobacco outside. Mr..
Chairman, do you think these men
are legally members Of the associa-
ton? Doyou think they we're made
members by the use of shotguns and
torches? The latter you will an
swer | know. Where have the
pledges of the association gone to?
They said they would grade our to-
bacco and sell it at graded prices.
Did they do it? No, Sir, they grad
ed it and then graded it down to
suit the trust. Couldn't we have
done the same? Certainly, we could
have sold it as we'll as the associa-
ton and without all those expenses
we have had to pay to the officers
and managers.
| would think if the association
can sue, it might be sued. Surely
it is an organization subject to the
avs of our state. Let me state
right here, you were in committee
meeting when the subject of forcing
men in was discussed and we took
the vote, % of the 25 said they went
in through fear. You can't force
man to give you a check on a bank
and collect it by law. because it is
not constitutional. Neither can
they force a man in the organi-
cation and fine him for selling out
side. Threats like these only tend
to drive men out. We as farmers
know they haven't our interest at
heart so much as TO go to having US
to help US out. We as citizens de
mand our rights. We were loyal as
conscripts could be, but the associa-
ton got our tobacco and we got
what Patty gave the drum. Don't
prosecute those that sell out till
they prosecute the night riders.
Men are losing their homes, their
families are in dire need of food and
clothes and can't get one dollar. We
as men, owe our first duty to our
families. What man can see his own
flesh and blood hungry and naked
and see that by selling his little crop
oftobacco outside the association he
can supply their wants, could keep
from selling, fine or no fine. Some
men haven't received anything out
of their tobacco for a year. II en-.
forcement Of law had begun with
lawlessness we would not have beer
subjected to destruction of property
and lives and crime. poor womer
screaming with terror-strickeT
hearts, feeling their lives were in TIT
hands of drunken, bloodthirsty

law is constitutional. For Gods FAX
don't wipe the old farmer from tn
face Of the earth. The law say

The local cotton market opened quiet and

figures were about as expected. There no
otncial report Of rains in Texas. but the weather
forecast Indicate showers for parts of Texas.
IL viii be weather marker for some time now.
and this should be watched closely. There is
another feature TO the market and that is the
long interest The short interest is very small.
and ON any advance believe ii win be met
with long cotton.
Liverpool reported good business in spots
late yesterday. The visible statement this morn
ing was about standoff but had a slightly
oullish leaning Bulls gave good support by
heavy purchase of May. although they sold
July against IL late in the day on a forecast for
showers in southeastern Texas over Sunday.
tIodays market was choked to death by a
lot of weather sharks who attempted TO beat
the government at their game Of wea ther
guessing. The government forecast calls for a
continuation of dry weather IN western Texas
although the southern half of eastern Texas will
probably have unsettled conditions. whether 1t
rains or not in Texas is not nearly of such i'm
portance as many people think, and many who
have sold cotton. expecting TO buy it back when
II rains, and others who have waited patiently
to buy cotton on the breaks occasoned by rains,
may be disappointed.
