Trust Lawlessness Causes Farmers te Become Law breakers. For some time the tobacco grow ers of Kentucky, goaded to desper ation by the oppression of the to bacco trust (Mr. Kyan, who baa hi fingers so deep in the Seatoard pie, is one of the big men of the trust ). caused the tobacco growers to be come desperate and they have beeu destroying the trust'a proierty by night raids. Da this subject the News and Observer says: "The papers are nearly all call ing on the Governor of Kentucky Si stop the lawlessueai of the night ders in the tobacco districts of that Htate. The Governor should not need an exhortation to put an end to burning and destruction of property, but should call outeveiy force at his command to put au eud to it The fact that the tobacco formers are being robbed by the tobacco trust is no warraut for their lawlessness. If men may burn up property because trusts combine to put down toe price of their crop, this is taking the law into their own handa and the result will be anarchy. "But the Governor should not confine himself to putting an eud to the lawlessness of the tobacco growers, lie should at the same time put an end to the lawlessness of the .tobacco trust. The trust magnate who conspires to put down the price of the farmer's crop is just as much a lawless mau and an archist aa the farmers who bum the warehouses of the trust. The trust magnate who crushes bis com petitor in luaunfacturinx by the usual methods is just as lawless as the man who burns the dwelliugof the tobacco farmer who will not join in the night raiding and unite to fight the trust. Besides, it is the lawless trust that first violated the law and robbed the farmers. "But do civilized State can per mit either crowd to stay out of jail unless they obey the law." - A Higher Health Level.

Governor Qlenn Calls It lor Janu ary 21st. to Consider Railroad Kate Question. Governor Glenu has called an ex tra sMsioo of the legislature to meet January 'J 1st, to enact or reject the compromise agreemeut that he has effected with the railroads which have been fighting the '.' ceut rate law pwwed by the last legislature. After making his proclamation, the Governor addresses the following statemeut to the people of the State: "Iu another place will be seen my proclamation proclaiming the General Assembly of the State to meet January 21st, but I deem it best to issue this statement to the public explaining at length why at this time an extra session of the General Assembly is deemed necessary: "The specific and on'y purpose for which the legislature is con vened is to consider terms of agree meut oflered by me to various rail roads aud accepted by all of them save one, which oue accepts all of terms except the proposition of the inter-State rate, concerning which it states it has no ower to act, but doubtless circumstances will regu late the rate as requested. "The terms are as follows: The legislature will be asked to iucrca.se the flat rate of 2 J cents now iu force to a Hat rate of 2 cents; to allow a charge of 15 ceuta when persons board strain withouta ticket when such ticket could have been pro cured at the station, also to reeal the present law with pstialtirs, etc. If this is doue, railroads agree on their part to, first, flat rate of 2J ceuts per mile for inter Stale pas seugcr travel, with extra charge of 1 5 cents each agai nst pcrsous board ing traiu without ticket except at stations where there are no agents. "Second, two thousand mile books, intra State, interchangeable with such of solvent roads of State as will consent at 2 cents per mile, good for heads of firms aud em ployees, not exceeding total num ber of five names to le furnished at time of purchase of mileage book and entered thereon. "Third, oue thousand mile books intra -State and interchangeable! with such of solvent roads of State as will consent, limited to one indi-1 vidual at 2 cents per mile and good only in hands of the purchaser, name of purchaser to be furnished at the time of purchase of book and entered thereou.

Absolutely Pure The only baking powder matte with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar No Alun, No Lima Phosphate Sentence of J. W. Hill Commuted. Ssd..Uira Mnu.nirer and InteUurrmvr. About eighteen mouths ago J. W. Hill, who lived just across the line iu Uniou county, shot and killed his neighbor, Marion Burgess. Hill, bo is a son of Mr. J. P. Hill, a well known citizen of Burnsville township, this county, was tried for the homicide aud sentenced to the penitentiary for five years. lie- ceutly application was made to Gov ernor Glenn to pardon Hill. The Governor refused to issue the par don but did commute the sentence, giving the following reasons for doing so: "At October term, llHi, of Union Superior Court, defendant plead guilty to the crime of manslaughter and was sentenced by the court to five years' imprisonment iu the State prison. This is a case of the unwritten law. Defendant found that deceased had debauched his wife. He then notified him that if he ever came on bis premises again he would kill him. Later, seeing the deceased coming toward his home, he got his gun, shot and killed him. Giving due regard to human passions and recoguir.ing the great wrong done prisoner by the deceased in ruiuing his home life, under ordinary circumstances I would at once grant a pardon to the defendant, but unfortunately for him at the time of the killing, he knew the deceased was not com ing on his premises for any wrong purpose, for he was driving along the road in the buggy with his wife aud when shot was sitting by her side and fell at her feet. In Bhoot ing at such time, the shock nearly killing, or at least terribly fright euing the innocent wife of the de ceased, the prisoner committed a great wrong and therefore must ex pect some punishment In view of his stifleriug, and having consider ed the recommendation of the trial jndge and solicitor, while I will not pardon the defendant, I will com mute bis sentence and order him to be discharged the 1st day of Janu ary, liKi'.l, provided in the mean time he makes a good prisoner aud gives the authorities no trouble."
