CAPT. C. I. HARDMAN
A Candidate for County Commissioner, Third
 District,

The State Herald this morning contains the announcement of Capt. c. T. Hard man as a candidate before the democrat ic primary for the office of county com missioner of the Third district. Captain Hardman is so well known in Jefferson county that words through this source are superfluous. He. came to Birmingham from south Alabama as far back as 1871, when there was hardly anything of Bir- mingham except the name of the loca- ton. He was verify a pioneer, and one with great faith in the future of the then embryo town, He went to work vigor- ously, putting his all at stake. Captain Hardman has been real worker for Bir- mingham, and has rejoiced to see its growth and greatness. He went through the cholera scourge of 1S73 sticking to his post, and won the admiration of hun dreds who watched his faithful course. He has served as an alderman of the city for about eight years, during which time he made a record as a wise, energetic. economical, progressive public official. If elected to the office to which he now as- pires Captain Hardman will fill 1t with honor and credit to himself and his con- StituentS.
