THE STATE POLITICS
Another Combination Has Been For
med il is Reported.
Coulter to be at the Head of the
Democratic Organiza-
ton.
CLIQUE TO FIGHT BEoKHAM

The Covington correspondent of the
Louisville Post gives the following
analysis of a few Democratic political
moves and their significance in the
state, and which will no doubt prove
of interest to the people in this section
Of the state as well as elsewhere, as
several Western Kentucky politicians
are interested. 1t says:
Great excitement has been caused by
a rumor of combination and slate
that has been made mp, changing all
Democratic states.
It is stated that Mr.. Shackelford,
clerk of the court of appeals, and Mr..
Coulter, the present auditor, have
made an agreement with Governor
Beckhsm for control of the franchise
board and of the party organization.
This would mean Josh Griffith OF
Greensboro, for state treasurer, and
Green for CLERK of the court Of sp-
peals. Urey woodson is to name Che
nsult for state auditor, and Gus Coul-
ter is to be put at the head Of the
Democratic party organization. 1t is
said that after this arrangement has
been made Messrs. Shackelford and
Coulter will go to New York to raise
the money to conduct the state prims-
ny.
/ had a talk with a Democratic as
pirsnt just returned from Louisville.
When asked If this rumor was true,
he would neither confirm nor deny.
In answer to another question, as to
whether he knew anything of any
meetings, he acknowledged to several
meetings between Shsckelford, Coul-
ter, Chensult and the governor. In
answer to a question, "What is your
opinion? ?" his reply was that things
looked very much as if new com.
bine had been made, which included
the Louisville, Frankfort and Owens
boro enemies of the governor. In an
swer to another question, What did
you hear in Louisville ?' he said there
was as strong rumor in Louisville as
you have got here. and that the slate
has been made up, and it satisfied the
two Vreelands in Louisville, and Hal
deman, of course. Mayor Granger
and Kchn are to have Caruth put on
the Criminal bench, and the Louisville
ring is to support the slate made up
by Coulter, Shackelford, Chensult and
Woodson.
"Do you think that Governor Beck
ham is going to lay down." "welI, I
cannot believe it until the slate is an.
nounced. The governor has fought
them for four years ana held them
down, and believe he has got enough
blood in him not to surrender to such
a combination-I believe he will quit
the race first, for these very men first
tried to keep him out of the rsce on
the question of iueligibility; second,
they fought the primary because it
was favored by the governor, and there
is nothing thst they have not done,
that they could do to defeat all of his
measures. Having beat them in the
preliminary contest it is not probab lie
that he will surrender now. Neverthe-
less, on the inside, it is said, arrange
ments have been made which will
mean the retention of all the old state
officers or their representatives.

CHRISTMAS MONEY

One of our depositors, needing oft
given advice, started the first of the
year to putting away a little sum
each day and depositing it with us
when it reached a certain amount. He
came down this week to draw some
"Christmas money" and was surprised
to see that he had enough to make all
his Christmas purchases.
The moral of this story is strong

AN OLD RAILROAD TIE.
Did Service Rs n Grape TrelIis After
Thirty Years. Usage on an
Illinois Road.

ST saw an old railroad relic the other
day that was quite curiosity" said a
contractor, according to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. at was in the posses
sion of farmer near Springfield. It
was one of the ties used in the con-
struction of the first railroad built in
Illinois, The Northern Cross extend
ing from Springfield to Naples on the
Illinois river. 1t was built, or at least
begun, in 1896, and was of a construc-
ton now strange to railroad people.
"The ties were of red cedar and were
laid farther apart than is now the
custom. On the ties running length
wise were laid oak stringers, as they
were called, to support. the rails,
These stringers were timbers about
six inches square and from 20 to 80
feet long. They were held in place by
ash pins about an inch in diameter,
which were driven through holes bored
in the stringers and ties. The rails
were mere straps of iron about 21s
inches wide and half to three-quar.
tiers of an inch thick. The strapswere
fastened to the stringers with spikes
driven through their center and the
heads of the spikes were countersunk
so that the straps presented smooth
surface upon which the wheels re.
volved.
"The tie of which speak had been
taken from the track in 1866, after sc
years of use, had passed into posses
sion of its present owner and beer

is still sound, except around the holes
near each end, around which are signs
of decay.
81 think If enough material of this
kind could be gathered it would be a
good idea to construct a track after
this old pattern as part of the Illinois
exhibit at the St. Louis exposition"

Average Life OF the Ordinary nrana
Has Been Figured at Five
Years.

''The average life Of the nickel
cigar is five years" said prominent
tobacco man, "and it is curious to
note the differences which have en-
abled cigar men to arrive at this
general average of the fve-cent
cigars life. Many cigars Of this class
run through long series of years.
says the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
There are some brands now that
have heen running for more than a
quarter of century under the same
name, and they are really the same
cigars, made in the same way, hav-
ing the same flavor and all that
sort of thing. In this connection I
have been impressed by the remark
which we often hear about certain
brands of cigars for two years, or
longer, but that the cigar was get
ting so bad that he had concluded to
quit buying it at all. 1T is nothing
like the same cigar he said; the
taste has changed, and it tastes like
mixture of cabbage leaves Now,
he was altogether wrong about that.
I know the cigar, know how it 10
made, and all about it, and l know
that no sort of change has been
made III the process of manufacture.
The trouble is that mans taste
changes. He may get up feeling
badly, his stomach may be in bad
shape, and, of course, the cigar will
not taste as it did when his system
was in better condition. The cigar is
blamed, and he simply dashes the
thing into the street, and quits buy
ing it. Instances of this sort are
very common. Mind you, l do not
mean to say that some of the brands
do not change. There are tricks in
the cigar business, just as there are
tricks in other trades. But in nine
cases out of ten the trouble is with
the smoker. But, recurring to the
age of cigars, the average to which
l have referred has been settled up
on by tobacco men and is accepted
throughout the country. 1t is
reached by taking the two extremes
the good and the bad fve-cent
cigar, end figuring back to the mid
die. Some fve-cent cigars close with
the first lot made. They are failures,
having nothing in them to recon-
mend them to the public. The ma
terial out of which they are made
would not make decent 'three-fors.
The higher grades of five-cent cigars
are made as carefully and with as
much skill as the cigars that are sold
at a higher price, and do not mind
saying that many of them are really
far superior in material, flavor and
method of manufacture. So many
of them, however, are of the cheap
kind that the average is lowered to
FIVE years, while the average life of
the higher-priced cigars will run to
a much higher figure"

Excessive kindliness of heart, when al
he'd to laundering courtesy, is occasionally
productive of an amusing incident. OF such
is the following; A president in recent
times OF one of our royal colleges was noted
for the possession Of trim little yacht,
which he was fond of sailing in one OF the
reaches of the River Thames, says the Can
did Friend. One day the president had the
misfortune to capsize his craft, with the
consequent result of complete immersion.
he was immediately assisted ashore and
a change of clothing provideGat an adjacent
boathouse. This, however, did not include
hat of any description. The president,
who is an old man and correspondfngly bald,
stood shivering, his scant hair uncomforta-
bly, stirred by the breeze. His plight was
observed with respectful compassion by one
Of the students OF the college who had wit
messed the catastrophe, and offered his own
headgear. The president, however, seemed
reluctant to acespt it, saying: IF ! take
yours, what will you do" "Oh, sir" said
the student, ut doesn't matter for me. I've
got hair on my head" This statement was
accepted as final by the president, together
with the cap, and he laughed heartily at
what, after all, was not wholly eBe@ided

may be better imagined than described.
