Spelling Bee at College Last
Tuesday Night.

There was given at the College.
Tuesday night, a spelling bee, the
proceeds Of which went to the Baptist
church. It was given by Mesdames
L. p. Ellison and Z. B. Pfather.
Besides spelling there we're songs
and recitations. The audience was
entertained by Miss Mabel Wilson
with some songs, the music for which
was rendered by Miss Elizabeth
Wilson recitations by Misses Love-
lace and Lois Bartlett. each and
every selection a rare one, and en-
joyed TO the utmost by everyone
present.
The spelling bee created a deal Of
excitement as well as enjoyment, and
il developed that one Of more parties
who are known 10 be excellent spoilers
for some unknown reason, fell down
or some simple words. The little
children took part also and &C
credited themselves as spoilers. A
visiting lady, from Cairo, was very
kind TO take a place in the line, and
proved 10 be an excellent speller also.
Some Of them stood in the firing line
quite a long time, but wsen they did
miss, il was on some trivial word.
A prize was given the best spoilers.
a silver dollar, and was won by Miss
Leah Barry. The second prize, a
carmel cake, was won b5 Mrs. Jno.
S. Dillon. The cake was made by
Mrs. L. P. Ellison and was an APP
Preoiated prize. A bunch Of yellow
ohrysanthemums was given to Mrs.
Geo. Millett, Of Cairo.
Much enthusiasm was manifested

We have had another example OF
machine politics. Mott Ayers, as
secretary Of the State Democratic
Committee, deal, out the ballots for
the primary 10 suit himself and the
machine. In the counties which he
knew were for Hays and McCreary
he either sent no ballots az all or sent
just enough to say that he had sent
some. Hickman received 2l3
ballots for the two precincts, re-
ccived them one day before the
election. so that there would not be
time enough 10 get more. and as a
result By noon Tuesday there we're
no ballots 10 be voted upon The
chairman OF the county committee
was not notified OF the names Of the
election officers by him as is the Law,
but for the precincts east OF Hick-
man be informed the chairman that
he had sent the ballots direct TO the
wards and the names OF the oihcers
as we'll. and the names were With
held from the county chairman. II
was the rottenest piece OF work and
the roitenest theft that has ever been
Practiced upon the people OF Ken
lucky IN the history Of the state,
Il vas only done because the internal
machine knew that they could not
elect their clique Of men In an honest
manner and must needs practice al
sorts of trickery, corruption, theft
and K needs be, intimidation 10 put
their man in Office. And then too.
We are told that Il the present ad-
ministration is a machine to give US
bigger machine. How can man
cover has conscience with a coat OF
ute and say such a thing and insist
that the administration has been an
honest one, and that the same clique
should be given an opportunity 10
continue 10 bring disgrace and shame
upon the state that cannot be dovned
for a thousand years3 What can be
said that Beckham has ever done
since be has been governor except &c
have created about thirty new Offices
all OF which are needless and at a
cost Of SS0.O0Oa year to the tax
payers, and all for the sole purpose
Of giving his admirers the benefit OF
them in order to have them with him
10 steal elections and the like. Men
OF that Tx should not be permitted
to even look at the executive Offices
OF the state, much less Ill them.

The Election.

The result OF Auctuay primary I
election, after Wholesale robbery,
gives the election to Hager. and in
complete rAurns up to our las, hour
indicate that Beckbam wins the sem
a,orship. Throughout the state the
machine and Beckham's gang re-
sorted 10 the basesi iraus and THEFT.
and wherever there was a MoCreary
district the election was stolen out
right. Il is the worst disgrace that
that has ever been thrown upon the
fair name OF Kentucky. The perpe-
traitors are no, worthy Of the name
democrats. In the first district Nc
Creary and Hays carried McCrack-
en-, Graves. Hickman. Ballard and
Galloway counties, and the machine
stole Livingston. Caldwell. Criuen-
den. Tngg and Fulton counties. Civ
ing a majority for the machine Of
.SSs for Hagar and 500 fof Beckham.
The returns are incomplete. but
indications are that the machine has
won by about 5000 for Hager. Full
ton county gave Hager a majority Of
los and Beckham 81.
That Senator McCreary carried
Louisville by over 1000 vas no sur
prise. he had an excellent organi-
cation and the voters Of .he city
we're strongly Tor him.
The real surprise Of the day vas
the fact that y B. Hays carried
Louisville By $50.
The toughest work ever seen al
an election vas executed by the
machine near Lexington, Ky. and
as a result over 900 McCreary
voters IN the county we're disiran-
ohised AZ the Pepper Distillery
precinct the we're no ballots or ballot
boxes and none Of the Beckham oiho-
ers showed up. This precinct vas
ten 10 one for MoCreary. On the
Nicholasville pike, Just outside the
city. the precinct contains over 800
voters but only $50 ballots were sent
there. The police and fireman we're
stationed at every polling booth IN
the city and completely dominated
the election, and up TO II o'clock
500 negroes had been voted IN the
interest Of Beckham.
According 20 incomplete returns
from al over the state, Charles +.
Hughes, the Republican candidate,
has been elected Governor OF New
York State over William Randolph
Heaisi. the nominee Of the Demo
cratic party and the Independence
League, by approximately 10000.
Returns from over the State Of
Tennessee show that gains and losses
IN various counties by Democratic
and Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nees vas about balanced. Compar-
ing the vote with that Of Two years
ago. a majority Of $4,000 for Nal
colin K. Patterson, Democrat. over
Il. Clay Evans, Republican. is Indi-
Gated.
Missouri went Democratic.
Republicans gain three congress-

good quality. The fact that the hat
was still upon the head and that the
underground VAS dense indicated that
The body had not been washed in there

gold tooth, four capped with gold on

with gold on the upper right side.
There were three Of solid gold IN he

That he could afford to spend on
