KentucIky MiII,ary Institute.

We have before us the annual catalogue and
announcement of this justly celebrated institu-
ton for the years 1901, which presents the
most gratifying showing. The last scholastic
year was but repetition of the success which
has characterized the school since it came into
the hands of the present management while
the outlook for the future is most encouraging
Than Col. K. I. P. Allen, the Superintendent,
there is no better or more experienced educator
in the country, and the Faculty which he has
called about him is composed of superior men
in every department. The course of study is
such as to thoroughly fit the young men who
take it for any calling in life, and if is most
thoroughly taught. To the benefit of a full
collegiate course is added the discipline. instruc-
ton and drill of the military school, and every
graduate is fully fitted, if need be, to take com
mand of a regiment of troops.
There are many advantages possessed by this
school. It is located in a quiet, healthy
country so far distant from town as to place
the young men beyond the manifold temp
tations which ordinarily attended college life;
besides, the students all broad in the barracks,
and are kept under rigid military discipline.
There are no temptations of extravaganza or
dissipation, and nothing to distract the minds of
the students or retard them in their studies.
Colonel Allen exercises constant and vigilant
personal oversight over the young men, and his
good wife is attentive as a mother to them.
There are here-what can scarcely found else
where-combined the discipline of the well or
ganized military camp with the comforts and
pleasures of home life-a desideratum greatly to
be covered in the preparation of young men for
the callings duties and responsibilities of practi-
cal life.-LoHisriLke Ledger.

The Contest for Sheriff.

As we stated yesterday, meeting of the Re-
publican County Committee was held on Mon
day. 1t was called tor the purpose Of organiza-
ton, being the first meeting held, After the
committee had assembled-every district in the
county save one epresented-getlemen present
thought, that in view of the fact that all the
Democratic candidates for each of the county
offices had been ruled off the track save one for
each position, and in view of the fact that only
a single Republican candidate was running for
each one of the offices except for Sheriff,
that it become necessary for the COM
mittee to try to reconcile the differences
between Mr.. Gossett and Mr.. Gibbs the Oppos-
ing Republican candidates for that position. A
committee waited upon these gentlemen to know
if reconciliation could be effected. They each
one came in person before the committee. Mr.
Gossett said he was willing to leave the matter
with the gentlemen present Mr.. Gibbs was
willing to accept the nomination, he said, but if
he was not nominated, he would take the matter
under consideration. Thereupon the roll of dis
tricts was called and fifteen out of the twenty
one civil districts reported Mr.. Gossett as the
strongest man in their districts. The other six
were reported in doubt as to which was the
strongest. Thereupon the committee unaDi-
mously declared it as their opinion that Mr..
Gossett should be presented to the county as the
Republican candidate for sheriff
A committee was then appointed, consisting
of DIR. j. w. Stewart, John M. Bishop and DR..
j. B. Young, all friends of Mr.. Gibbs, to wait
upon him and know what were his intentions,
after the action of the committee. His reply is
that he will continue candidate till the day of
election. r-s
We do not question his right to do so. We
do not propose to make any personal warfare
upon him. He is our friend, and we will so
treat him. But at the same time, vote cast for
him is "A vote thrown away, or counts so much
for Hudiburg the candidate of the Democratic
party selected by the Knoxville clique that legis-
lated Col. Thorn burgh out of office, and has
been trying tn run Knox county ever since the
Democratic party came into power in this State.
Republicans in voting for G ssett, have other
reasons for Their cour e. besides his Republican
ism. He ha- made faithful. onesT officer
His bittereSt enemies dare not assert to the con-
tr4ry Then, with g ,od candidate, one who
has been tried and fund true and faithful,
We should go to work and give him rousng
majority. We appeal to our friends to lay
aside any personal prejudices they NAV enter
tain, and go to work Tor the welfare of the coun-
ty. Five hundred men in the county, who do
not agree with Mr.. Gossett politically, but who
recognize his eminent fitness for the position,
will vote for him. and he will be triumphantly
elected in spite of the tricks and Vaccinations
of his enemies.

THE RAIN.
Railroads Flooded and Tracks Washed
Away.

away
For the past week we have had more or less
rain every day. At times the fall has been very
heavy. Such a continued fall of rain is rarely,
if ever, known to occur at this season OF the
year. Doubtless much of the wheat crop which
had not been gathered in from the fields, will
suffer very material damage. The heavier rains
seem to have fallen South of this point, and eS-
pecially in Alabama. The quantity which fell
in upper East Tennessee must have been small,
as the Tennessee river at this point has risen but
slightly.
MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD.
The food on the Memphis and Charleston
road which runs through North Alabama was
considerable. though the damage done to the
road is comparatively slight. A treste over
Indian Creek, seven miles from Huntsville,
was carried away; also fill eleven miles west
of Huntsville. A transfer of baggage and pas
sPngers will be made this morning. The dam
age will be repaired in few days, when trains
will run regularly, as usual
ALABAMA AND CHATTANOOGA RAILROAD.
Both the food and the damage were much
greater on the line of the Alabama and Chaita-
nooga road Large portions of the country
were completely submerged. and the gr wing
corn and other crops washed away Farms
were terribly damaged. Such freshpt has
heen scarcely or never known. and more espec-
tally at the present time of year. Twenty-three
breaks were made in the track of the A. s. c.
Road, including three bridges. all between Attal
la and Birmi CHAM. TIE first break occurred
on Friday night and the rest between that and
>unday. The telegraph wires went down at the
same time. and were only got into operation
again yesterday evening.
All the damage referred to occurred in the
northern division of the road. A beam truss
bridge over Gulf Creek was swept away The
other two bridges carried off were over Little
Canoe Creek and McElrov's Creek. The full
particulars and the extent of the damage done
are not yet known. For the present trains will
run from Chattanooga to Atlanta and Gadsden
only.
The Alabama river has been very high, wash
ing away very large mill at Wetumpak. The
North and South road also sustained much
damage but exactly to what txtent is not
known. Ross cut is said to be filled by land
slide
The above we take from the Chattanooga
Herald, of yesterday, which shows how much
damage was DONE Through connections have
not been made for three or four days, but it is
thought that repairs will be made SO as to insure
connections after to-day.
