AS EMIGRANT FROM KENTUCKY A farewell to Kentucky a written by Harlow B. James and published in The Louisville Courier-Journal wila sympathetic comment lacks nothing of real eloquence. The writer, woury f living In the midst of anarchy brought about by nipht riders, has bought a farm in Iowa. "I f hall oon leave Kentucky," he eays with feeling, "where I have live. I many year. I have violated no law, I have, tried to be honorable in all my deal ing! with my fellow-man, arid I have endeavored to be a good citizen." He further states that he was a Confed erate soldier. "I learned to respect brave men who fought In the open," we read In thi connection, "but I cannot 'spend my declining yearn dodging the midnight assassin and Darn-burner." Here Is a pictvire of life In the terrorized counties: "And I know who Is the night rider in my couaty, and my children, now all grown, also know, and I am quite sure that there can never eKlst the neighborly feeling In my community that should ei- lt In- a rural neighborhood I do not eare to meet In church, or school meet ing, the men who destroyed my property Without warrant of Jaw.

Prior to that time ho- was Its real manager although his father was nom inally In control. Mr. Thle was pe culiarly fitted for the position that he hid, for he was not only an expert In the gold mining business but knew how to control men and direct affairs, He had made a splendid success of th Halle mine and was In the prime o his strength, influence and popularity It la said that he was one of the best liked men In Ivtncaster county.

"If the ni-Kroes vote the democratic ticket.' remarks The Anderson, .S.

Kvi-ry micro Democratic vote cast in the North and West this year will mean n hun dred Republican votes In the Sooth 1n the next election." Which, except the obvious overstatement at the Close, is all quite true. If the ne gro's present trend toward, the Democratic party were Inspired by less unworthy motives than desire to punish a Re publican President for not Ignoring midnight murder, where negro troops committed It upon a Southern town, Recent statistics show that there arc 12,500 newspapers published in the t.'nited State, including about 1,000 dallies. in Europe there are some 20,000, Germany leading with 5.500.

Details of the terrible catastrophe are yet meagre.

It waj learned yesterday that Mr Thle was not In the Immediate neighborhood of the boilers when they hurst but was standing talking to Mr Truesdel, or Truesdali as some spell it., within the door of the chlorina tlon plant nearby. The fires beneath the hollers had been kept goin night and day and the brick wall holding them In place were almost red hot. When the explosion came, one great mass of these bricks was hurled in a lump upon Mr. Thies and he was hurled beneath the debris, so much i so that h was completely hidden an-i irom ins Washington interview from sight.

Immedlntly after the explosion, all of the hands about the mine and a number c.f people living In the neigh borhood rushed to the scene to learn the extent of the damage and render any possible assistance. Mr. Adolph Thies' first move wa to look for his brother. Mr. Krnest Thies, the uper IftTendenl of the mTn: "In Order to' gel directions as to what had best be done. He never dreamed that he was one of tho victims of the accident nor did he Imagine that he then lay piled beneath a great mountain of fiery debris. When someone discovered Mr. Thies he was wedged in a pllo of bricks that were so hot that hey could not be moved by hand. He was extricated as quickly as possible and, with th other Injured ones, was re moved to the house nearby where medical attention was given. TralneJ nurses were procured and every thing else possible was done. There was no hope, however, for Mr. Thies and he died at 1:30 yesterday morn ing.

Mr. pitman was badly Injur ed, though not seriously and so was also Mr. Ogburn.

Vmvorthy of Grown Men. - Statesville Landmark. It is noted that the Blckett Hospital Commission refused -to erect a building at Morganton with a capacity for 100 additional Insane, as asked by the directors of tha Western Hospital at Morganton, but a-111 build a hos pital there for all white tuberculosis Insane. The reason given for refus ing to provide further room for Insane at Morganton is th desire to equalize the hospitals at Raleigh and Morgan ton. If the pressure for room Is th same at both institutions this is all right, but the accommodations should be provided where the need is great est, no matter if It be necessary to give one hospital a dozen more' build ings than the other. This sort of quibbling is too small for grown men If UiBneeda .of one Institution at greater than the other. ; The Insane should ha provided for promptly, re- garaiess oi any equalizing. SPECIAL The Reason Why Wo Southern Dem. ocrat Should Bolt. To th Editor of Th" Observer: In a recent Issue of your semi- weekly, some one of your readers wishes to know, since Bryan Is bidding for the negro vote, -why a Democrat snouid vote tor him. Bryan's attitude in thi, matter Is most unfortunate. but not more so. than that of Henry watierson, or Tne Louisville Courier Journal. But there Is this reason why a Democrat in any Southern State cannot-bolt the Denver nomination; If Bryan and Kern ar elected, there win be at least for years, no .ap pointment of negroes to Federal of flee in the South. Southern Congress. men and Senators would prevent that. ir iMeprasKa ana Indiana want negro postmasters, etc., very well.
