KIRBY SMITHS
PROCLAMATION
To kentuck;ans In 1862, Owned
By j. X. Cox, OF This City Who
Exhibits 1t Here

A rare and valuable historical
document was brought to the
Daily Register office Friday by
Mr.. J. r. Cox, one Of Richmond's
best known citizens. 1t is the
original proclamation to the peo-
pie OF Kentucky as drawn in his
own handwriting by Gen. Kirby
Smith, commanding the Confed-
crate cavalry forces, and issued
August 29, 1862.
The proclamation is written in
ink upon blue lined paper and is
in splendid state of preserva-
tlcn, except that it has been
mouse-eaten along the edge. The
proclamation was addressed to
citizens of Kentucky, and reads
as follows:
KentuckianS The army OF the
Confederate States has again en-
tered your territory under m!
command Let no one make you
believe that we come as invader:
seeking to Coerce your will or tc
exercise control over your soil
Far from it. The principle we
maintain is that all government
derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed. | shall
endcavor to enforce the strictest
discipline, i'll order that the prop
erty Of citizens and non-co1nbat-
ants may be protected. l shall
be compelled to procure subSist-
ence for my troops among you
md this shall be paid for.
Kentuckians! We come not as
invaders, but as liberators. We
come to unveil the mesh which
Yankee ingenuity and selfish men
have woven around you, We
come invoking the spirit Of your
resolutions of i798. We come to
arouse you from the lethargy
which cnshrouds your fore
Thoughts and which forebodes the
political death of your state. We
come to test the truth of what
we believe to be an untrue
aspersion-that Kentuckians will
lingly join in the attempt to sub
|Jugate us and despoil us of Our
property, our liberty, our dear
est rights. We come to strike
off the chains which are being
riveted upon you. We call upon
you to unsheath your bright
swords and joining shields with
your Southern sisters to hurl
back from Our fair and sunny
plains the Northern hordes whose
cold malignity and calculating
tyranny seeks to deprive us Of
our liberty that they may enjoy
our substance. Are we deceived
Can you receive us as enemies
Gu heats answer, No!
Signed, E. KIRBY SMITH,
Major Gen. Commanding.

One of St. Johnsbury's coal deal

found that a long delayed shipment
of nut coal had arrived in his yard
with 80 tons of the coal taken out Of
the car. The car was billed at 60 tons
and he had planned to dispose of it in
500 pound lots to relieve the shori
age which is particularly acute in tn
grade of coal. The railroads some
times appropriate soft coal for h.t
own use in transit, but the dealer en-.

and stoves.
The same dealer received telephone
calls Tuesday from Concord Ign

IS IT POOR JUDGMENT?
Rudolph Lee in Long Prairie Leade

Rudolph Lee in Long Prairie Leader.
The Federal Bank officials going up and down
the country recommending solution for the present
credit sringency, that farmers sell from Is to rs
cent of their unmarketed products within the thirty
days six weeks.
It does not seem to us that this will remedy mat
tiers.
The farm product market is already glutted the
evidence being in the rapidly falling prices of grain
livestock
To dump couple of million bushels of grain and
IS 100 ranloads of cattle and hogs onto market that
already over-supped simply complete pro-
of knocking the bottom out of the market
Every gambler and specuator knows this
He knows exactly what the effect will be if the
recommendations of the Federal Bank officials
ried out-and he is waiting.
He knows that the Federal Bank is a powerful in
stitution that situation and
knows that the Federal Bank
lions if it so desires.
The legitimate buyers know this, too and so they
waiting.
No is going buy grain and livestock if he
feels that he buy what he wants within days
weeks at a much lower price.
So the first effect of the Federal Bank recommended
ton policy is to halt buying destroy what little
ket there is and thus actually retard any quda
ton that might be in process.
Now suppose that it, instead of it's intimation that
farmers must sell and sell quickly the Federal
would give it out cold that the NOT HAVE
TO SELL and WOULD NOT HAVE TO SELL until there
natural demand for their products evidenced by
the only thing that really evidences natural
rising market prces-what would be the effect?
Wouldn't the first effect be to tone up the present
market?
And wouldn't the toning up of the present market

ket and start the qudating that much
sired?
In other words isn't the Federal Reserve Bank
adopting policy that is aggravatng the trouble that it
seeks to avoid?
