MAKE 1T 1900.
Let Bush Carry His County With
a Landslide.
Opposition In the City Rapidly
Disappearing and 900 Majority
Assured in Town.

This is the last day of the cam
paign for State and district uomi
nations.
Local interest Of course centers
IN the race for circuit Judge and it
looks like Charlie Bush has a lead
pipe cinch on the nomination. His
majority in Christian county will
be something immense. If the vote
is up to expectations it may go to
l,5OO majority. Bush will get three
out of every four votes polled in the
county and if it is true that the
Doodle train missed connection the
whole bottom is liable TO drop out of
the opposition in precincts where
an artificial following for Cook has
been counted on. Bush's majority
in the four Hopkinsville precincts
will be. larger than Cook vote in
the same precincts. The poll of the
city has been carefully revised this
week and many changes have been
discovered ID Bush's favor. The
doubtful" vote has nearly all been
transferred by authority to the
Bush column. Despite all reports
to the contrary, Bush will carry
every precinct in the city by big
majority. The effort to distranchise
the unregistered city voters in spite
of the provision made for their reg
istration in the CALI was a boone.
rang for the Cook managers. It
drove the fair-minded doubtful 70
tiers to Bush en- masse. The cali
permits the voters who are not reg
istered to do so at the polls when
they vote, in book to be provided
for that purpose.
In two precincts of the city the
Cook men have the sheriff and if
they refuse to let unregistered Dem
ocrats vote it will cost Bush some
votes, but the great body of uureg-
stered voters live in the two pre-
clncts in which Bush men are
sheriffs and they will not permit
any Democrat to be DISTINGUISHED
in these districts. It is not believed
that the Cook men now contemplate
any further attempts to reduce the
vote in Hopkinsyille. Many Of
them are farminded even IN poll
tics and would not stand for such
raw deal.
Judge Bush has been in this
county most OF tbisweek. He spoke
at Pembroke Wednesday afternoon
and at Rose Hill last night.

New Concord, Ky May 8, 1908.
Judge Z. II. Bush, Hopkinsville, Ky.
Dear Sir and Friend:-I will
write you a few lines from South
Concord, where Judge Cook was
born and bred. Now if you are the
least uneasy think you should be
encouraged when one who is asking
no favors at your hands, tells you
that Cook will be defeated in South
Concord. Iverily believe you are
in the lead here and will carry
Galloway county. Nothing hurt
Judge Cook half so bad as the way
he acted in securing the last grand
jury. 1 was at log rolling last
week, 80 or 40 hands present, eve
nv expression l heard from the
crowd was for you. The people
will denounce his acts on the 9th
inst, and we will expect better
things of you, when you take his
place. Every honest effort is being
made for your success. am yours
very truly, ]. M. MEADoR.

THOUGHTS ON LIFE.

Our surest prospect in life is death.
Mans riches are to be estimated
rather by the fewness of his wants,
than the greatness of his possessions.
When you fret and fume at the
petty ills of life, remember that the
wheels which go round without creak-
ing last the longest
Friendship improves happiness and
abates misery, by the doubling of our
joy and the dividing of our grief.
No great characters are formed IN
this world without suffering and self
denial.
We attract hearts by the qualities
we display; we retain them by the
qualities we possess.
Kind words are the brightest flow
ers of earth's existence; they make a
very paradise of the humblest home
that the world can show.
He that cannot forgive others
breaks the bridge over which he must
pass himself; for every man has need
to be forgiven.
The thought of a possible helpless
old age gives all of us moments OF
anxiety.
The worlds marching orders are:
"On to the grave" but watch your
track and dodge the stumps.
The last day lies hid; therefore
watch every day.

APPLES IN CITY AND COUNTRY.

Strange that we are cOnnOisseurs in
tea and wine and pickles, and yet that
apples are merely apples. Warm and
wilted and polished, they stand in
lays and rows on the stands, and we
buy them. Probably half the people
in the big cities buy their apples thus,
one at time here and there,-Ben
Davis, Baldwin, Pennock, anything
that is bright and handsome. I some
heated houses can never know what a
really good apple is, no matter how
good the grocer and the caterer may
be. 1t is in the farmhouse with real
cellar-nOt a basement with heater
and laundry and ash-bins-that one
gets apples. You sit in the wing"
beside cracking fireplace or a wood
fire in the stove that is built for SER
vice rather than for ornament. The
cellar is under the upright" You go
through the buttery, through the cellar
door that has a cathode in the lower
front corner, and with lamp or lantern
in hand you go down the stairs into
subteranean world. The snow is
scurrying around the house corners,
but here is dark and snug retreat, a
retreat such as no city house can have.
There is no smell of ashes and soap
suds, only the cool soft odor OF the
moist ground and the boxes and bar
rels of apples. From box to box you
go,-Northern Spies, Talman Sweets
Greetings, Roxbury Rossets, Seek-no-
furthers, RambOs, Spitzenburgs, Snow
apples, Nonesuch, Swaars, perhaps be-
lated Kings and fall pippins-even

PLAIN TALK TO KING EDWARD.
Physician Tells His Majesty He Eats
and Drinks Too Much.

1t is well known that the king &C.
casionally suffers from his liver, and
that the royal physicians are some
times called in to treat him for this
complaint. The latest occasion was
the other day, when Sir Richard
Powell, a prominent physician extra
ordinary to the king, was summoned
to Buckingham palace.
The physician is baronet of the
old fashioned school, with the pro-
nounced characteristic of speaking
his mind without regard to the social
position Of his patient.
After asking his majesty few
questions in regard to his general
health, the doctor laconically ordered
him to strip. The king asked what
portions of his clothing he should d.
vest himself of. On being told to
strip to the waist he quietly did so.
The doctor then proceeded to exam
inc him in the usual manner, utiliz-
ing the stethescope and another pen
cll-like instrument, until the king,
who was not used to this vigorous
sort Of examination of all his organs,
became anxious that the diagnosis
should conclude.
When the practical baronet brusQue-
ly pronounced: "You have eaten too
much; you have drunk too much:
will send you prescription to put
you right" he departed with the scan
test ceremony. He had hardly
reached the door when Sir Francis
Laking, who was following, overlook
him and made protest against his
abruptness. The eminent specialist,
who was apparently not in the best
Of humOr, only retorted:
MY dear Laking, if there is any
sQ1irming to do you must do it,
DR.. Laking returned to soothe his
majesty's ruffied feelings, and re-
marked by way of palliation: 'Sir
Richard is a busy man just now"
The kings reply, which typif1ed the
state of his mind, was: Good God,
Laking, thought he was going to
tattoo me-"
A story is told of the same phys1-
clan that when he was called to pre-
scribe for the duchess of Manchester,
he ordered her to disrobe. "But Sir
Richard, I haven't my maid here"
she said, to which the baronet retort-
ed: Madame, have no intention or
examining your maid

American the first sight of the fac

glimpse Of the low rambling buildings
suggests the idea that they are shabby
lather than picturesque, though they
have the peculiar Dutch setting: slug
gish canals hordered with lindens,
over which the willows bend lovingly,
with slow trailing boats that ripple
into fantastic shapes the reflections
of queer notched' gables overhung with
the usual accomplishments of snow
white curtains at the windows. In

purely business-like. Busy workmen
are moving about with an air of silent
