WHY.

Crop conditions are fairly prom
ising. Early corn, where properly
cultivated, is simply fine.
Our esteemed neighbors, Clay
Rushing and Charles Alsup, have
threshed out quite a lot of wheat
and oats in this locality with their
new machinery, and they have
gone to Flatwoods to clean up the
grain and grub and fruit and mel
ons for those good people who are
famed for their hospitality.
Our people are almost through
with their crops for this season,
and they are entitled to a brief
rest, even if they don't take it,
Some men, you know, are SO con-
stituted the can not be contented
without employment of some kind,
and where good judgment is exer-
cised these are the men who gen.
orally win out. AS a rule they are
too busy to find fault with their
neighbors nor complain of hard
times.
Well, another election has come
and gonein old Benton. Of course
there is some disappointment; this
is true of all elections, but there is
nothing SO bad but what it could
be worse; SO let the people rule as
a majority, or we may bring more
trouble on our shoulders than we
can well carry. Remember that
old adage, Omitted we stand, di-
vided we fall" The farmers ought
to be thankful for the bright pros
poets of the future and look to Him
who proclaimed "peace on earth
and good will toward men,"

Preparing For an Ordeal.

To the young man who is plan
ming to pass a night for the first
time in a sleeping car afew general
instructions may be given, says the
Chicago News.
For six months preceding your
trip practice removing your cloth
ing while lying on your back on
the floor beneath your bed. Also
practice putting on the various ar
ticles of your wearing apparel
while standing on the back of your
head and your heels. You will
find this to be not only splendid
exercise, but also very amusing if
you have a well-developed sense of
humor.
Try coaxing your shirt beneath
your waistband while you assume
the shape of a rainbow, with your
stomach touching the Stats of your
bed and your head and heels dig
ging into the carpet. Owing to the
peculiar properties of the law of
gravitation you will find this an in
structive experiment.
Now you are ready to start. APP
proach the train carelessly, give
your grip to the porter, saunter in
to the car and pick out your section
with blase air. If the new Pull
man rates are in effect you will no.
tice that If you contracted for an
upper berth it is appreciably lower
than the lower berth, which is high
er than the higher berth. That is
to say, the higher berth is not SO
high as the lower berth, while the
lower berth is much higher than
the lower berth, which is higher
than the higher berth, and-but
perhaps it is just as we'll to leave
you to settle this matter with the
conductor. 1t is a mere matter of
detail, anyway.
What's that? Why may you not
dress in the toilet room of the car?
You can't. 1t will be full of a
fat man with soap behind his ears.
His back will block the doorway
while he tries to take a bath in the
hand basin. No, the fat man is not
required under the Interstate Com
MERGE Law. He is a natural phe-
nomenon and can not be sidestep-
ped or otherwise avoided.

ANALIZING
THE RETURNS
A Majority of Both Parties Voted
for Free Judges.
Knoxville Sentinel. ]


Enough detailed returns of the
election have been received to show,
on analysis, that the Independents
polled a majority of both parties.
This is an important and significant
feature of a remarkable election.
1t was not East Tennessee with
it's thirty-four counties alone that
supported the independent ticket;
twenty-seven of the forty-one coun-
ties of Middle Tennessee and sew
entesn of the eighteen counties of
West Tennessee Joined in the in
dignant protest against the effort
to subjugate the judiciary. 1t was
a sweeping reputation of the Pat
tersoH machine.
To the more than 10000 MAORI
ty of Republican East Tennessee,
Democratic Middle Tennessee add
ed more than 5000 and Democratic
West Tennessee gave probably
$4,000 more. Thus the figures in
dictate til at majority of both par
ties join ed in the vote for free and
untrammeled judges.
OF course estimates made now
can be only approximate, but we
believe the following will be borne
out in the final canvass of the re-
turns. Probably as many votes
were cast altogether as were polled
in the national election of Novem-
Der, 1908, or about 100000. AS
Stunning the proportion between the
parties to be the same, there were
$4,000 Democratsand 49, 900 Re,
publicans that went to the polls.
All of these, however, did not
vote for the judges. The ballot
was difficult to vote and some men,
bers of both parties were undecided
on the main issue. We find in
Knox County, for instance, that
over 10000 votes were cast for
comfy officers and only 5000 for
Judges. In Hawkins County 2,lOO
votes were cast for county officers
and 1900 for judges. In McMinn
1000 we're polled for county off,
GERS and l, 450 for judges, and nu-
merous other instances might be
given.
We believe, therefore, that it is
fair to estimate that Is per cent of
the Republicans did not vote for
;udges. Thus we have approx
mately 114,750 Democrats and
$4,000 Republicans who partici-
pated in the judicial ELECTIONS.
This is a total of 195,250 votes in
the contest. The independent ma
iority is about $4,000. The vote,
ther efore, must be about l2O,OOO
