FORTY THOUSAND ~
Kentucky The f;nuncr Staten
Gao Curry tbs Hcws To oi,ic!

Enough is already known TO satisfy
vs. that the Democrats have carried
the State hy lO,OOp Many cuuntic,
have given from 80 to 700 gain over
thc Leslie vote, and there will bc an
increased majority Of Democratic
members in both Houses oi the IcgiS-
lature. That si0O,0o0 sent here by
the Radicals for election purposes,
with Bristow's vote thrown in for
good count, failed t. work out for the
RAIDS lcsscuing of our usual MAORI
~. We thank them. however, for
the favor. 1t made grccuhacks lit
tie more abundant in places VIII re
there were few dollars aAoa;. We
are decidedly in favor of this kind of
initiation aud disbursement.
The official majority OF the Demo-
cratic ticket from 81 counties heard
from, amounts to 6,I92. The -
counties yet to hear from, gave an ag-
cregate majority Of 2,036 for Leslie.
So We can rest pretty well asfurcd,
that cur majority this year, will not
fall far short, if any, Of I0,000-in
round numbers. Lpslic's majority
was 1896, ard McCreary's majsrity,
on the above hasis, is 3S,S2S--bcing
an increase over Leslie of 2,036. In
case the counties yet to hear fir m,
give an increased majority for the
Democratic ticket, as nearly all Others
have, the figures will not vary mate
rally from 40,000--as only LIP
more votes are required to get up to
these splendid numbers.

1t is almot beyond question that
the people Of this State have failed to
call Convention TO re ;ise the COnsti-
ton. Not because a majority do not
desire change, but for the reason
that a majority did not know that
such question was pending until the
day of the election, and many voters.
even now, are ignorant of the fact that
such matter was voted on at the last
election. We saw a number of men
20 to the polls who when asked by
some if they did net intend voting for
a Convention, would express surprise
that such was their privilege. The
fact is that the question was not sutfi-
GENTLY discussed prior to the election,
either by the press or candidates and
other public speakers. Moreover, the
plan adopted by the Legislature as a
means of informing the public that the
qualified voters of the Stale would be
called upon to say whether or not they
desired Il revision of their Constitution
was too vague. indefinite. and lengthy.
The publication for two weeks prior
To the election, in the papers Of the
Commonwealth" Of half column or
more, notice, TO that effect, was very
poor way Of giving information. Had
they ordered brief notice inserted in
all the papers, for four or five months,
and the same notice printed in hand
bill form, and distributed all over the
State, and made incumbent upon the
officers Of election to put the question
directly to each voter; and had the
candidates and other speakers more full
" discussed the matter, we have not
the slightcst doubt that Convention
would have been called by an over
whelming majority. Tho fact that all
the candidates Of both parties were in
favor of the call, is of itself PROOF to
us that fully two-thirds Of the people
are earnestly in favor of having our
fundamental law changed 1t Is too

of itself, a profound argument in fIv-

BEERsHEBA SPRINGs.-That pleasant and
healthtul summer resort known as Beersheba
Springs, located in Grundy county, Tenn, is
too well known throughout the Southwest to
require any elaborate notice at our hands
Situated on range of mountains that rise
nearly three thousand feet above the Tennes-
see River, Beersheba Springs offer extraordi-
nary inducements to persons in search of
health, or those seeking comfortable refuge
from the heat of summer. The hotel kept by
s. M. Scott & Co. is admirably arranged, and
is kept in superior manner.
The fare is excellent, the attention all that
can be desired, and the society to be met there
cannot be surpassed by that at any watering
place in the country. In IT ferripg to the ad
vertisement of Beersheba Springs, which will
be found in our columns this morning, we
desire to introduce our old friend Col Edward
Sheegog, to the attention of those of our citi-
zens who are looking for pleasant summer
home. Col. Sheegog is connected with the
hotel at the Springs. and is now travelling in
the interest of his house.
The Colonel is gGAtleman whom we have
known for years, his friends and associates
have been the very first gentlemen in the
country, and those who place themselves
under his care next summer, will never have
cause to regret it. Gentlemen whose bust
ness arrangements compel them to remain at
home but who yet desire their families to
enjoy the advantages of q pleasant and health
full summer resort, where the purest of air
and water are to be obtained. can hardly do
better than to consign them to the care OF
Col Sheegog.
There are no flies. feas. or mosquitoes to
be found at the Beersheba Springs,

The Scilly Isles, where the Schiller was
wrecked last week, has been the scene of many
similar catastrophes. In the year 1907 the
British squadron, under the gallant Sir
Cloudesly Shovel, ran upon the rocks in q
storm, and the admiral and four large frigates
were lost. The Schiller sank upon the same
reefs. The Dublin steamer Thames was also
wrecked on these islands, and scores of smaller
vessels have been broken to pieces and many
lives lost. The fog prevails to such an extent
about the group that it probably would prove
an advantage to have immense bells hung at
intervals, or to keep up fierce cannonading
on the islands during severe weather. Louis
