000 majority and Mr. Beckham waa
as itfjomlnee unable to unite his
partyTin the senatorial election. He
belongs to a faction, just a9 Patter
son in tenneseee belongs to a faction
and it is doubtful" if he has made
friends since "marching from a
Blaughte -house into an open grave."
Next to Ollie James, Owsley Stanley
is the logical leader to be sent to the
Senate. He belongs to no discredit
ed faction and no Democrat would
refuse to support him.( A leader in
r the House, he wou d at once become
a leader in the Senate., Like Ollie
James he would enter that body,
booted and spurred, and ready to
battle for Democracy. On, Stan

Erminie Rives, which is said to Je

of "Uncle Jefferson" an old-time
negro. The author is now the wife
of Post Wheeler, who is In the con
sular service at St. Petersburg. ( The
book willlbe awaited with interest
ihiere, as Mrs. Wheeler is a native of
Christian county.

Mr. Carnegie's offer to pension
ex-presidents is safely made. Few
statesmen upon retiring from office
could afford to accept a pension from
the head of a great private corpora

government to action.
Yes, it'a . Hopkinsville is to
have another big hotel. Speculation
is at an end and rumor has run its
length. Preliminaries have all been
arranged and within a few months
travelers, as they ali?ht from the
trains of the three railroade,will hear
the cry of the porters of three ho
tels. The name of the new place for
taking care of travelers has not yet
been determined on, but that part
of the name of the company putting
up the tallest building in the city,
"The Pennyroyal Company," just
natura'lly suggests itself and "The
Pennyroyal Hotel" would sound
well.
But this is not so important. The
first question that presents itself will
be "who ia to run it?" An agree-
ment has been entered into this
week with Mr. Woodson Moss, of
Winchester, Ky., to take charge
as soon as the building is completed.
Mr. Moss is a hotel man of njany
years experience and he is now run
ning a hotel at "Winchester that is
classed by traveling men as one of the
very best in the State. That he is
capable is beyond all question and he
will sustain his reputation as a host
in assuming his duties as manager
of one of the most modern and up
to-date hostelries in this, the livest
and most' progressive city in Ken

cant.
finally determined to gve Hopkins
ville 'fuller hotel accommodations,
and only three days since all other
plans were abandoned and the hotel
proposition was given precedence.
At this time-it is impossible to go
into details t s to general outline,
but we can say that the new hostelry
will be entirely modern.
The building will contain 62 guest
rooms. The banquet hall will be on
the first floor, in the store room
adjoining the large building now in
process of contraction. 'Its area
will be greater than any dining room
in this end of the State. The office
and lobby will be in the corner with
a cafe fronting on Eleventh street.
The guest rooms will be large and
well ventilated and reached by a
passenger elevator running from
the first to the fourth floor. Of
course the entire building will be
heated by steam and the lighting
will be perfect. The corridors on
every floor will be broad and fire
escapes will be put in, everywhere
necessary to the full protection of
life in case of fire
Whilst convenience and comfort
for all who make "The Pennyroyal"
(if that should be the name) their
stopping place is the main consider
ation of the. company, the ornament
al will be by no means overlooked.
,Every effort will be used to make a
hotel de luxe, even a roof-garden
not bein altogether an improbabili
ty. . t
. Situated on the main thoroughfare
of tls city and convenient to rail
road stations and the principal busi
ness houses, and and Hopkinsville
leading. all other cities in the State,
according to the last census, in in
crease in population, and. as we be
lieve, also leading in increase in
business as well, to say nothing of
the brilliant outlook for future
growth and an unprecedented in
crease in business of all kinds, we
see no reason why another large and
modern hotel should not prove a
profitable investment.

The mo3t important item brought
up for consideration wa3 for action
in regard to the abolishment of the
office of County Road Supervisor,
held by B. W. Coleman.
County Attorney Puffy addressed
the court, in which he gave his con
struction of the law passed by the
last General Assembly, which is em
bodied in the following order, enter
ed upon the record and signed by
County Judge Knight:
"By virtue of Chap. 110 Gen.As'y.
1912, the office of foad supervisor is
abolished and that said office no
longer exists, and that by Sec. 48 of
the, said statute it is the duty of the
County Judge, by and with the con
sent of the. Fiscal Court, to appoint
a road examiner, and that this duty
is mandatory, as recently- held by
the Court of Appeals, in the case of
Morgan vs. Champion. 160 Ky., 396
"And the court is further advised
that by section 94 of the said acts all
duties and powers of the Road
Supervisor and Overseer shall be
performed after Dec. 1, 1912,
by the Road Examiner and that
the term which the present
incumbent, E. W. Coleman, now
claims to hold, having commenced
after the passage of the. said act,
does not entitle him to continue to
hold the said office of Road Super
visor, which has been abolished, since
the term which he held at the time
of the passage of the said act has
expired.
"The members of this court and
other county officials, and the pub
lie, are also advised that the said E.
W. Coleman !ia no longer Road
Supervisor of Christian county, and
haa no further .right or authority to
perform the duties of said office,
nor to handle! :the funds of said
county for said purpose, nor to re
ceive the emoluments therefor."
After tho foregoing order had
beStrmade Attorney Duffy stated
verbally that if T the Court of Ap
peals should hold that Mr. Coleman
is technically in office that he would
prefer charges agains' the Road
Sujrvisor for his removal, in the
interest of the county. That he
could not conscientiously tin other
wise under hi3 oath of office.
