Kentucky, though a State which has long had a conspicuously bad reputation for lawlessness of all sorts, may never again bring upon Itself fworse notoriety than it Incurred Sat urday, when five hundred masked "night riders" shot up the city of Hopklnsviile and destroyed property valued at $200,000. The invaders fired continually In all directions, sending jullets by hundreds at residences and business houses, and while it happen ed that no one was killed the happen ing was a marvel A railroad brake man received a bullet in the back while endeavoring to move his train from the path of flames started by the raiders and a tobacco buyer was jemmy Deaten witn swucnes ana clubs. Three tobacco warehouses were burned, a newspaper which had de nounced previous outrages had the entire front of its building demolish ed, and damage was inflicted upon the fcullrilnmt of all four banks. Rut for .--j" M t. A... A men the ntfre city might have been destroyed. Yelling, shooting, apply ing the torch, utterly reckless In all Its performances, the mob terrorised the city until it saw fit to ride away, A catalogue of outrages Indeed. The motive for this conduct? No ne familiar with the Dark Tobacco Growers' Association and the secret operations Of Its Kentucky 'branches, or at least the men composing them, would need an answer. Organized with the simple purpose of obtaining good prices for t'he dark tobaccos (used largely in snuff manufacture) the msthods used by or In connection with Kentur.'ky sub-associations speedily became outrageous. For some time pa.st it has been the prac- rion-asnoclation growers or burn their barn, frjesides bea'.lng and otherwise personally maltreating them. Men have been torn from their homes in ihe deed of night to suffer the most cruel Indignities. Since the tobacco trust is the chief object of denuncia tion, doubtlew with considerable Jus- tlce, its property has suffered almost I s mush as th.it of the "scab" grow-1 rs. More than once heretofore raids have been made into towns to de stroy its factories. All these outrages, Of course, like the outrages committed by organized violence tames in the country unfler other m large, go julte unpunished. The state of af-1 fairs can be mort easily Imagined when given a home setting In Che mlnd's-eye. Suppos North Carolina tobacco growers were to behave as the Kentucklans have done, savagely rsldlng Winston or Durham and burning warehouses. Or suppose !

A PlUladelphian Wants to Know What lie Wants With It To the Editor of Tho Observer: Will you tell the public what Mr. Wlttkbwsky wants a dine for? He Is an active, handsome young man, has good understanding under the hat and down towards China. Ho can outwalk and outrun any delegate to the United States League oC Building and Loan Associations. He is oppos ed to. a "reserve fund," of any char acter and, therefore, he does not need the support of a cane. While he la strong on the "reserve," his friends may think that he Is a llttlo weak on that point. Every assertion he makes, without qualltlcatlon Is right, but when he tells the reasons for his belief then he proves himself wrong. His friends may have had this point In mind. This defect is not his alone and he will always find himself In good company. For instance, in The Observer of November 28th, I notice this item: "The members of the police and flre departments will be banqueted to night, etc." Could you give a real square reason for this event? Anoth er: "Florence Ramsey was ar rested last night for being drunk and rllnorderly." Could she give any rea sons that would hold water? There are exceptions.

Negro. It la question if there has ever been In Charlotte a more notable re ligious service than that in the Second Presbyterian church last night ' The large auditorium was 'filled bv the people who wished to hear the last message of the retiring pastor. Rev. ur. Martin jj. Hardin, the gifted end brilliant man who leaves to assume the Juties of pastor of one of the arreat, churches of Chicago. His life and ministry have been a benediction to this community; and It was not sur prising that so large company of the citizens of this city, "of all de nominations, were eager to hear his final word. r His subject "la the Negro Our Neighbor?" was one that In Its very announcement brought the hearers to The"aiiDssof ' rapr-snentionr-And as tho speaker moved Into hla sub ject the attention of the immense con- gregatlon became almost painful, for Dr. Hardin spoke with . prophetic earnestness and power. At times his face became almost : transfigured as he made his tlea for this struggling, unhappy people. His criticism of the attitude of his own race to the negro, was moKen with, the fairness of a son of the South, yet with the stern ness of , lover of Justice and honor. And many of his hearers will carry always with them the truth to which he gave such loving and powerful ut terance. " It Is impossible to .give ft Just re port of such a discourse, and the out line attempted here ! given in the knowledge that it in no way records the full sweep and power of the truth expressed. Tha text was. "Who is my neigh bor?" end the theme. 'Our Relation to the Negro." Dr. Hardin said: WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? You remember the circumstances under which this question twas asked. A Jewish lawyer had come to Christ with the inquiry as to what was re quired of man to inherit eternal life. Jesus answered by referring to the Jewish law, saying, 'It is written there. .How readest thou?' The re ply came, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind and thy neigh bor, as thyself.' Jesus told the man that he had answered rightly. 'Do this and thou shalt live.' j "But this Jew, educated to believe that he belonged to a racje which was peculiarly loved of God and that, therefore all his affection should cen tre only on God's favorites, asked the question, 'And who is my neighbor?' And Jesus' reply was tne incom parable parable- of the Good Samari tan. The Jews and Samaritans hat ed one another with intensity. They had no dealings in common. The Jew was unto himself; the Samaritan was unto himself. Living side by side they were vet so hostile in spirit that when, Jesus crossed over this narrow so-i Clal line and asked a Samaritan wo man for a drink of water, she could not but express surprise that any Jew could so forget his prejudices as to do such a thing. THE GOOD SAMARITAN. "Here was race prejudice with" a vengeance. And Jesus takes a man from Jerusalem and sends him down upon the road to Jericho, where he falls among thieves who rob and beat him, leaving him for dead. A priest and a Levlte pass by and offer no help; but a Samaritan, a member of a despised and hated race, binds up his wounds, takes him to an Inn, pays for all charges and saves the man's life. This was the man who proved him self a neighbor. And the lesson of the parable Is that every human life which is in distress is my neighbor. And no racial prejudices and Instincts behind which men hide have any worth whatever in the Bight of God, who has commanded us that we shall love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus ChriBt broke down the barrier of rac lal hatred and narrowness. He rec ognized no law save that of the love of God, which was for all men. His mission was unto the world. He talk ed the brotherhood of man. He laid down His life in the assurance that Ha would make the men of all lands and races neighbors unto' one an other. Marvelous have been the changes which HJs Spirit has brought into the world. Warring classes have been knit together Into bonds of strong intensity. Nations are more and more recognizing it, losing their old hatred an suspicions and are moving on toward a federation of the world. ALL THE BROTHERS. "Christ's spirit has brought a most high-blooded nation on earth to be lieve in God's sight they are brothers unto the lowest and out of the mire advanced nations; the .sons and daughters of Christ are going to the most degraded with the love in their heart and the glad message of the glory of Christ's life upon their lips. In their hearts they accept the word of Paul, 'God hath made of one blood fill nations of menj and the most in spiring truth that fills their soul with visions of a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, Is ttat God so loved the world not Jews or Ro mans or Greeks or Englishmen or Americans -but the world, that He gave His only begotten son that who soever belleveth on lllm should not perish but should have eternal life.. "But with all the enlargement of our vision concerning the Kingdom of God. with all the beeaking down of local and racial prejudices where, we are moving out into our larger Inheritance of work and privilege. and neighborllneM, there are still many barriers over which we have not crossed, -i And eome that we seem to have little inclination to pull down, ' NO COLOR LINE IN JIEAVEN. "I want to tftllt to you to-night upon the question, 'I the .negro our neighbor?' If . he In distress? KnA are we meeting our God-given obligations to show ourselves neigh bors with " him? . Unlaga the Gospel of Jeeus Christ ! Ufl nd a lualon the life of one man is as precious in the sight of God fts an. other.

And this ix the ulU mat goal of all social equality. , "But there is such a thing as being so Jealous of the purity of our race that we are led to forget that in the deepest sense . we are still brothers and both races are under a common law to show themselves neighborly, Tho burden of this duty falls upon th white race i for unto whom much has been given, from him much shall be required. . NEGROES NOT PROPERLY RE . GARDED. "And I thlnic it is a matter which no well-informed man will dare . to dispute ' that the white people . of this community, have not treated the negro as a true neighbor. , They have allowed to grow up in their hearts ft racial hatred and prejudice which haa blinded them to their own sins, deadened them to their Christian dutyand left them without that sympathy of heart which will enable them to feel he naKed and awful tragedy of the negro's condition. "I saythar nnless ouT-professlons of Christianity are simply mockeries that we all know .that in the sight of God it 19 our duty to try to feel and act toward the negro rce as we know that Jesus Christ would,, feel and act were ae ; here, on earth, .,. We know that Jesus would love the negro. We know that that love would exoress Itself in beneficent works on the -ne gro behalf: that he would sea that the negro had Justice; that he had opportunity to develop In mind and aoul and become under Ooi't grace the beat man within his natural powers; and unless I have been utter ly blinded to the fact I do not And any such spirit among; our people toward the negro. Of course, there art here and there earnest conse crated men and women who are alive to their true Christian obliga tions to this race, but the exeat body of our people who create , the actual conditions under which the negro Uvea are as lndiffernt to his welfare and future as if he were a mere soulless animal. How often do we hear such ex. presslons as this, 'He is nothing but a, damned nigger!' The) negro's one! duty is to keep his place. How' often uo we see tne White neon e. whn hv their treatment of the negroes, ahow j that they have not the faintest idea that they are human beings with much of the same powerstto suffer! that, belong to all other men?

THE SORY OF THE PAST. "The whites loved and oared for their dependent people, but all this began to pass away After the war. The fearful crimes and mistakes of the horrible reconstruction days alien, ated tho races, the moral and rallg. lous instruction of the races was aban doned by the Southern whites. What ever the negro got of this was done by Northern missionaries, whose zeal for-the negro's welfare was often in direct proprotlon to their hatred of Southern whites. These zealous men and women made mistakes, some of them by outraging the deepest con viotlon of the South on the social lines made their very efforts to help th negro odious. They did1 not un deretand tho negro" did the South ern people, and much of their educa tion was worse than valnlees to the negro. To Instance, as William E. Curtis Cited In an article recently pub lished in our papers, jthat out here at Blddle IS thours a week were given to the study of Latin, Greek and Hebrew by men who are to preach to corn field negroes, and one hour a week to the study ofv the English Bible. Greek and.
