WITHDRAWSFROM RACE
Hon. Ben Johnson WithdrawS
From Governors Race. Nc
Creary Now Has Big Lead.

Basing his action on the alleged
efforts of some of his opponents to
inject religious principles in the
campaign to defeat him for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. Congressman Ben johnson
has announced his withdrawal
from the primary. 1t is charged
by Mr.. Johnson, in statement
issued, that certain parties who
have long been antagonistic to him,
have tried during the past twelve
months to work up feeling against
him because he was Catholic. In
the close of his statement Mr..
johnson calls the Democratic
State Executive Committee to call
off the primary at its meeting
Friday and order an old-fashioned
State Convention, which will nomi-
nate a ticket against which Meth
er the bigot nor the Catholic can
complain.
From present indications it
seems almost certain that Senator
McCreary will be the next Gov
ernor of Kentucky.

The decision of the Burley To-
bacco Society was asked for fol-
lowing a meeting of the Burley
Tobacco Union that filled the big
Circuit Court room in the Fayette
county courthouse. A resolution
had been adopted to put the mat
ter of the cut-out squarely up to
the Burley Tobacco Society, fol-
lowing reports from all the coun-
ties that were said to show 40 900
acres actually pledged to cut out
the 1911 crop.
1t is these reports with which
the Burley people find fault. 1t
was learned that the Burley So
ciety people say that the independ-
ent counties made no such show
ing in the cut-out pledges as was.
expected and hoped for and that
many of the signers are old pool
members. 1t was further said
that the Burley Tobacco Society
would take part in no movement
that did not have as its start a
large number of the Independent
growers. When a majority of the
independents were signed up tight
and fast it was said, so that there
would be no chance of dumping or
taking advantage of conditions
created by the union growers, the
Burley Society was ready to throw
its strength into the movement.

Their inquests Covered q Wide Variety
of Subjects.
1t has been supposed and legal his
torians have told us that the office of
coroner was originally instituted by
King Alfred with that Of the sheriff,
both being designed to aid in keeping
the peace when the earls gave up the
wardships of the county. The legal
historians are wrong. according to DR..
f. j. Waldo Of the British Medico-
Legal society, who has traced the his
tory of the coroner and his ancient
office as far back as the year 1894.
In early days the coroner had a
wider and more general Jurisdiction
than he now enjoys. Coroners were
wont to ''hold their views not only
upon deaths where an investigation
was considered necessary. but also
upon various serious crimes which
were treated as occasions for the rails
ing of revenue for the crown. The
mission of the coroner to the state
was not alone to investigate crimes
and bring felons to justice. He super
intended the forfeiture Of money and
personal property by criminals to the
crown, for the recording Of which he
was responsible. These forfeitures
were not confined in cases of violence
and death to the property of the per-
son who could be held directly respon-
sible. but included animals and instru-
ments to which loss of human life I'M
der any circumstances might be trace
able.-New York World.

RIDING THE BELLS.
Spectacular Feats Of the Daring Ring
ers Of Seville.

opectacuiar FeatS OF the DARING MING
ers of Seville.
The ringing of bell is not, rs a
rule, performance particularly trying
to the nerves, but there is one set Of
bell ringers the members of which
must know no fear. for a moment Of
tremor woule in all probability be for
them the moment of death. They are
the bell ringers of the Giralda, in Sc
Vile.
When the city is to make merry on
feast days the ringers climb to the
belfry, and then by the aid of rope
and steps cut In the wall Of the tower
each mounts to the bell he is to ring
and stands astride the shoulder of the
brazen monster. Then he presses the
bell with his feet, holding on the cross
piece ON which the mass of metal is
swung.
Gradually the great bell SWAPS &c
the muscular movement Of the man
astride it until it acquires a momen-
tum that swings the hammer, first
gently and then with increasing force
as the sweep of the bell widens until
the air is trembling from the giant
blows that strike the massive sides of
the monster.
The mere vibration Of the atmos-
phere as the huge bells ring out would
be enough to make an Impractical
ringer turn dizzy and fall from his
perch. But this is not all, for many
bells are ringing in the belfry at the
same time In obedience to the move
ments of their riders, and the din is
deafening.
Notwithstanding all this, the riders
bend and rise and fall with the action
Of the bells. now appearing to the OBJ.
server from below to be in a horizon
tai position as the bell reaches the
limit Of its swing and again riding
gracefully to an upright position as
the monster sways backward with an
other laundering note.
The most extraordinary part Of the
daring performance is the sight of a
bell ringer calmly swaying the bell
while it hangs far out of the belfry
over the city, for the outward swing
sends the counterpoise with the ringer
into space beyond the arch.-Suecess

ALCOHOL AND MEMORY.
Influence Of Intoxicating Liquor Upon
Ones Mentality.

Influence Of Intoxicating Liquor Upon
Ones Mentality.
Every person who drinks alcohol to
excess, says DIR. Alexander Lambert
in Success Magazine. will not show ev.
cry form of mental deterioration that
may be produced by excessive indul-
gence, and the degree of deterioration
in intelligence which goes to make up
the sum total of mentality varies
greatly in different individuals.
All who drink alcohol to excess,
however, show some diminution In
their judgment Judgment means the
power of recalling various memories
of perceptions through the senses.
which have come In from the outside
world. memories of ideas. memories of
emotions and all the complicated asso-
citation of ideas that these bring up.
and in the recalling Of them weigh each
one with the other and judge of the
value between them This also means
reasoning and decision for action. This
power Of reasoning and judging Is
weakened in the alcoholic, and in any
brain long poisoned by alcohol 1t is an
impossibility to exercise 1t. Memory 1t.
self is also weakened. There is exces-
sive forgetfulness of the recent past,
and in some cases of advanced alcohol
ism there is absolute forgetfulness of
wide gaps Of years; man. may be
unable to remember anything from the
last Eve minutes back for twenty years
and then remember back to childhood.
The memories Of childhood are more
easily stamped on the brain than are
those of adult life, both because II
takes less to impress child and be.
cause there is not the completely OF
ideas crowding into the brain. nor the
completely Of association of ideas to
be recorded. Therefore memories Of
childhood make deeper impress and
last longer, and so the complex memo
ries of the adult are the first to be for.
gotten in the alcoholic, and those OF
childhood remain.
