MANY ARE TERRORIZED
ANOTHER BAND OF SILEN
NIGHT RIDERS IN KENTUCKY.
Scores Have Been Whipped and Otl
erS Taken From Their Homes at
Night and Warned.

Business is all but paralyZed in
some regions of Muhlenberg county,
Ky, where there is operating a clan
said to be worse than the notorious
tobacco night riders. These 1awless
men ride at night through the coal
mining district of that county wreak-
ing vengeance for real or fancied
grievances. They are known as
"possum hunters" by those who have
suffered at their hands, because of
the terrifying silence maintained
Those who have been visited are so
thoroughly frightened that when in
formation is sought from them they
refuse absolutely to talk. One man
has left the country on account Of
the hunters" and unless the situa-
ton is speedily relieved others may
do so. Men sleep with revolvers un-
der pillows and rifles at the heads of
their beds.
According to the county officials oil
Muhlenberg the organization began
operations in January. Several men
have been whipped and scores taken
from their homes in the night and
warned. AS a result of the first
known escapade of the hunters five
men of Muhlenberg county were in
dicted for "unlawfully banding them
selves together and going forth dis
guised and armed for intimidating
another person. But the man who
brought about the indictments has
left for Illinois.
Among the last victims of the 81
lent riders is William Gray, employ
ed as mine foreman by the Gibraltar
Coal Company. He was taken from
his home to a lonely spot in the
woods and dashed until he could
hardly stand.

How One Kansas Farmer Kept His
Boy at Home.

Boy at Home.
A Kansas farmer had his own ideas
about keeping his boy on the farm.
This is the way they worked;
When the boy was II years old he
gave him a pair of colts, the boy to
take care of them and help with the
t.her work TO pay for their feed.
When the boy was 16 the colts had
grown into a fine team of WORK
orses. The boy now had some pigs
and calves, besides the team, and
took a real interest in the farm and
the work, BY the time he was ~
wears old he had nearly enough
equipment to farm for himself. He
bought another horse with money ne
had made working for neighbors,
cot some tools and sets of harness,
and rented % acres of land from
neighbor He helped with the work
at home and farmed little for him.
self. Later he rented quarter sec
ton of land. At 81 he has a full
set of farming tools, horses and has
landed squarely on his feet. Next
year he will farm the home place on
shares.

CERTIFYING ACCOUNTS
list OF CREDITORS AND DEPOS-
ITORS BEING CHECKED OVER.
long Expected Audit of Americas
National Bank Will Soon Be
Forthcoming

| Forthcoming.
The latest concerning the Amerl-
! JUS National Bank is the following
from the Times-RecOrder:
The work of unraveling the badly
| Tangled and seemingly ineXtricable
affairs of the suspended Americas
National bank goes on at the hands
of Receiver Dunlap and his force OF
four or five accountants. Consid-
ering the deplorable condition in
which the lank's affairs were left at
| the time it's doors were closed, in the
face of an astounded public, Receiver
Dunlap is making good progress.
The ninety days allowed depositors
and creditors, under the law, where
in to file their claims for deposits
and other Indebtedness will expire
May 3rd, and soon thereafter the
long expected audit" which the of
fcers of the bank have been waiting
for will be forthcoming.
The nature of the audit cannot be
forecasted, but to the average depos-
itor it does not at this stage bear an
irridescent hue. Some few deposit
ors, weary with waiting, have SOLD
out at a most liberal discount and
are trying to forget it. Others-the
great majority-are holding on with
hope that springs eternal of event
ually getting back their money. 1t
is to be hoped they may-eventually.
While the first audit of accounts
seems to have been completed, al
though this statement is not made
authoritatively, the list of depositors
and creditors is now being checked
over again alphabetically to insure
absolute accuracy.
In this checking of accounts the
depositors appear at the bank IN re-
Spouse to notices sent them by Re-
ceiver Dunlap and swear to the cor
rectness of their accounts when final
ly adjudicated. This does not re-
uuire as much time perhaps as did
the initial adjusting of the books,
and points to an early finish of the
laborious work.
Nothing is given out of nature
official regarding affairs and those
depositors who hope to get back
their money have no adequate idea
as to when that good time is COM
ing. In fact, the situation, locally,
is one of trying suspense upon the
part of creditors and depositors, who
can do nothing beyond biding their
time in patience and hoping for the
best in the Wind-up.

The BOIL WEEVIL NEARLY HERE
IndustriahAgent jackson Says 1t VIII
.sCross the River This Fall.


Will the farming element of Geor-
gia adopt the same safe and sane
methods of combating the boil wee
vii as is now being practiced in Ala
bama? This is a live question for
the cotton producers of the state at
large, for Mr.. ]. F. Jackson, indus
trial agent of the Central of Georgia
railway, who returned yesterday
from Alabama, where he Travelled
extensively, says that the destructive
pest is now, or at least the advance
guard, only six miles from the bound
aries of the state and will surely
"eross the river before this fall.
The farmers of the state of Ala
bama have definitely decided to COM
bat the weevil through starvation
methods. This, he says, is shown
through the decision reached before
the time for breaking up the farms.
The farmers, bankers and business
men of Alabama got together anG
formed cooperative associations.
The acreage will be decidedly less in
cotton, and this commodity will be
replaced with corn, oats, hay and
general truck.-SaYannah Press.

He has a right to feel so. For several

er important ones. The men and wo
men who familiarize themselves with
the work to be done and then apply
themselves to the single task of devils
ing means, are the ones who, with the
cooperation of the farmers, and their
wives, can best handle the farm house
problem.
One Of the most important details
regarding the average American farm
mouse is that it must be inexpensive
The average annual net income of a
farmer today, after deducting five per
cent interest on his investment, is less
than $500. This does not mean that
the houses may not be attractive.
They may, if intelligently planned
with the help of vines, shrubs and
trees, become the prettiest spots in
the landscape, and more beautiful and
inexpensive than the crowded city
houses.
The tenant-house problem is grow,
ing in Importance as can be seen from
the fact that the number of rented
farms increased by more than 324,0OO
during the last decade. Today little
more than half the farms in this coun-
try are operated by the owners.
To Economic Housewives Strength
The possible economy in household
labor end the conservation of the
strength of the housewife are two i'm
pOrtant factors to be considered in the
construction of a farm house. Pleas
ant and comfortable farm homes tend
to hold families together: but the
cherries, unlovable and insanitary
houses drive boys and girls to the
cities. Investigation of prisons, in
sane asylums and houses of correc-
ton, seem to prove the fact that the
sins which account for the existence
OF these institutions are often bred in
inadequate and unhappy farm homes.
SO this social aspect of the problem is
considerable
The public is awakening TO the fact
that better farm houses are needed,
and the special feature which many

The Office of Farm Management of
the Department of Agriculture has
now undertaken to investigate this
problem Systematically and to evolve,
il possible, practical improvements
for the benefit of the. farmers home.
Certain features are often overlook
ed in providing economical arrange
ments for the household when they
might be easily provided for. One of
the specialists of the Office of Farm
Management learned from woman
in Pennsylvania, who had broken
down from overwork, that she had
