Prominent Democrats Are
mentioned as Probable
Candidates,
ELECTION THIS YEAR
Pays Salary of $4,000, and
Republican viii Get the
appointment.

Paducah, June 2T-Already there
is much speculation as to who will
be elected next November for First
district railroad commissioner to fill
out the unexpired term of Med.
Ferguson, who died Thursday after
noon at his home in Ballard county.
Gov. Wilson will appoint some
one to hold until a successor is elect
ed and qualities. That person no
doubt will be Republican. No fight
is expected to be made for the ap-
pointment as the governors selection
will have but about four months to
serve. In the meantime conventions
will be held and nominations made
by the Democrats and Republicans.
Mentioned for the Democratic
nomination are Luther Graham, of
Paducah; George W. Landrum, of
/ Smithland, Bunk Gardner, of May
/ field; John NJ, Moore, Of La Center,
/ and Clarence Finn, Of Owensboro.
Graham is a we'll known tobacco
buyer; Landrum is editor of the
Smithland Banner; Gardner is a law
yer, as is Moore and Finn.
The First district is composed Of
80 counties. There are three rail.
road commissioners, who draw ar
annual salary of $500 each and ex.
penses.
The two surviving members Of the
commission are Republicans and il
the governor appoints Republican
to act until the vacancy is filled the
whole board will be Republican.
Next January Med. Ferguson would
have served half Of his second term,
a term is four years, and whoever is
elected to succeed him will have two
years to serve.
The Democrats probably will nom
mate in July or August.

FlI CHRISTIAN co.
ID Board Has Right to
k Amount Of School
Tax Levy.

nkfort, KY. June 18.-The
Ct of Appeals did not adjourn to-
d for the summer vacation. A
n Der of decisions were handed
dI yesterday, the most import
a being that Of the Christian Coun-
toard of Education against the
Jal Court of that county.
he decision upholds the constitu-
tality of the Sullivan school law
lcted by the 1908 Legislature,
ich makes some very radical
Anges in the public school system
the State. The county School
ard is sustained in this case, and
e Fiscal Court is compelled to
lake the levy for local school taxes
5 fixed by the county board.
THREE IMPORTANT POINTS.
Three points of great Importance
we're decided by the Court of APP
beals in upholding the constitutions
atty of the new school law and every
county in the State can take advan-
tage of this decision to improve the
condition of the county schools.
Whether or not all the counties avail
OF the opportunity de-
ponds entirely On the counties and
the time of making the levy for
school purposes.
The first and most important point
decided by the court yesterday was
that the law was constitutional. That,
of course, was the basis of the whole
decision and everything depended on
that one point. The second point of
was the courts holding
that a mandamus would lie to force
the Fiscal Court to make the levy
and the third point was the right Of
the County Board Of Education to
determine just how much money was
needed by the schools. The last
point was the one on which there
was most doubt 1t was contended
by these who opposed the law that
the Fiscal Court of county could
say that the amount fixed by the
County Board of Education was too
large and that that much money was
not needed. But the Court of APP
peals says that the County Board Of
has the right to say how
much may be needed and that the
Fiscal Court must make levy that
will raise the full amount asked for
by the board.
THE STATES PART.
Under the law the State spends
about 5000, 900 on schools and this
goes only toward paying teachers.
None of the money can be used for
other purposes. The levy made by
the county must raise money for all
expenses except for teachers. Ex-
penses such as for buildings, light,
heat, janitor service and all other eX-
penses, except for teachers pay,
must be met by the counties them
selves and if the county has no mon
ey for these purposes there can be
no schools in that county unless the
money should be raised by popular
subscription.
At present the school levy has been

SUMNER AND FALL SEEDING

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the sum-

they are apt to get much better "catch"

practice and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top-dressing
