NIGHTRIDERS AGAIN.
]. c. Burdick Ordered to Close
His Dock.

The Nightriders at Reeifoot Lake are
active again On Wednesday night a
notice was posted by Nightriders, so
shown on the lace Of the notice, that
Mr.. Burdiek must close his dock in SIX
days. Another notice was posted warn
ing Fred Brannon, driver OF the fish
wagon, that he must leave the country
In fifteen days. These notices, we learn,
were posted at Burdick 5 dock on the
bank Of the lake at Shaw ! Park. Ira
Ruble has charge Of the dock, and AIr.
Burdick was notified yesterday morn
ling that the notices had been posted
and Of their purport.
50 it seems shat the people Of this
county are to be thrown into confusion
and unrest again with danger lurking
about in dark and secret places.
As to the origin OF the notices we
have no knowledge, but that they we're
written and posted by Nightriders there
is no other hypothesis.
Are we to have another season OF the
reign OF terror on account of Nightrider
depredations We have stated hum
bred times that we have no personal
knowledge Of the validity Of the titles
to Reelfoot Lake, but that the courts
have partially decided the matter and
it should be left with the Supreme Court
to decide finally. In any event there is
no Just cause for the depredations and
murder that have been committed on
the lake. The State and the officers Of
the law should be held responsible for
the protection OF citizens and property,
and if there is any violation Of the
rights Of fishermen this should also
come under the jurisdiction Of the
courts
There is no reasonable grounds for
these outbreaks. The State has taken
the matter in hand with assurances Of
making the lake public domain, either
by purchase or requirement through le-
innate channels.
II the officers Of the law cannot con-
troll the situation then an appeal to the
State should be made.
The people and every public and pri-
waite interest are in jeopardy as long as
the spirit Of lawlessness is permitted to
90 unbridled.

Governor Harmon is determined to
probe the cause OF high prices OF food
stuff in Ohio cities. He has sent a
message to the Legislature at Column
bus asking for an investigation, stating
that the discrepancy in prices between
those paid the farmer and the market
man il too great. The commission men
have for long time been getting the
cream Of the business. They combine
to depress the truckers prices and then
hold up marketmen. A case Of that
nature was instanccd here when the
Obion County Truckers Association
was organized. Our farmers began
truck farming when prices were good,
and when their harvest was reached
the prices had been depressed three
hundred per cent, unreasonable and
unnatural, of course. There was no
cause for the sudden unprecedented de-
cline. The prices of vegetables at ho-
tells and restaurants were not changed.
But the commissioner had just simply
taken undue advantage Of the situation
and combined against the producer.
That was the trouble, and it was the
cause Of Obion County truckers losing
money. We trust that Governor Har-
mons order will be followed by the
Governors Of other States and chat the
commission merchants trust will be sub
iected to legal action.
