Merchants of Lampasas and adjoin-

A story is in circulation in Coving-
ton, Ky., that Speaker Carlisle is to be
deprived of his certificate of election.
The ground for this action i3 the al-
leged illegality of the ballots cast for
him in Campbell and Kenton counties.
It is assumed that if these are thrown
out his majority in the district will be
overcome. The Kentucky law, it is
said, requires that the ballot shall be
on plain white paper with no distin-
guishing features, but the Carlisle bal-
lots were printed on large sheets of
perforated paper, so that when tjfe
tickets were torn apart, the perforations
appeared on the edges and made them
easily distinguishable from other Jtck-
ets. Color is given to the story byj the
fact that the canvassing board in Camp-
bell county is republican. i
of the question: Resolved that the
signs of the times indicate* the over-
throw of our government. The affir-
mative being represented by W. A.
King, Charles Mosteller, W. W. Chalk
and Jas. Wolverton, the negative by
C. G. Bierbower, B. A. Finley, W. A.
Ashley aud G. H. Duncan, and after a
lengthy and interesting discussion the
judges rendered their decision in favor
of the affirmative.
The society is in a prosperous condi-
tion. We have 32 good aud substan-
tial members. It is true we are in our
infancy, but each and every mem-
ber realizes the fact, “That there is no
excellence .without great labor,” and
that if they wish to gain the top of
the mountain on which the temple of
fame rests they cannot do it by stand-
ing idle at the base.
We are laboring not only to make
the society a benefit to us individually,
to the college and the community at
large, but to make it an honor to the
grand and noble statesman after whom
it is named.
Our library is on a boom. The fol-
lowing gentlemen have donated books

The Black King of Liberia.
Mr. Phil Beauchamp was informed
by Mr. Mark Whitesides recently that
aslaye owned by Phil’s grandfather,
and who was liberated by his master
long before the late war, soon after he
Was made free, left this country for
Liberia, and has since become king
oyer that country. The King of Libe-
ria was in Kentucky last year for the
purpose of visiting his old acquaint-
ances in this state, but this being before
the kingship had been confered upon
him he did not create much of a sen-
sation. If he will repeat the visit,
however, coming loaded with all his
present honors, he may expect to be
toadied and toddied and lionized in a
most royal fashion. Be this as it may,
Phil Beauchamp can now boast, if he
wants to, but he don’t seem to want
to, that he bears the same name borne
by the King of Liberia.—Bowling
Green (Ky.) Democrat.
