There is a fight on between
Caswell Prewitt and A. w Ham
ilton, each asking the Dem
ocratic honors for candidate ter
State Senator. The friends Of the
principals are at blood heat now
and it is in evidence that our Re
publican contemporary would have
bitter campaign, leaving the
defeated party in an unreconsilable
feeling with the greed hope that
its party would be profted there
by. Mr.. Prewitt's and Col. Ham
ilton's Democracy stands APPROX
ed by the Democrats Of this Sen
atorial district, and while the
friends of the contestants are
making claims it is not to the dis
arrangement of the opposition to
the profit and delight of our com
mon foe. We will make our
fights within our own ranks. 1t
is our own business and not that
Of any other political family. AS
to what our judicial districts shall
be or who our Democratic Senators
may favor for u. S. Senator, that,
too, is our business. and we will
settle all without the aid of other
parties to our entire satisfaction
and every Democratic vote will
be cast in line with party pro-
clivities, and the Republican par
ties had just as well leave I'M
sprung their dead-ialls. Both
Prewitt and Hamilton are accept
able to the party and the people,
the entire voting element of the
Democratic party will choose who
shall represent us in the fight
for the common people as against
Republicanism.

COUNTY ATTORNEY.

Mr.. Clarence F. Thomas makes
public notice Of his candidacy for
the County Attorneyship. He is
a native Of the county, the son
Of Mr.. Jno R. Thomas, of Spen-
Ger.
We regard him as an excellent
young man. He graduated from
Kentucky University in June,
1894, and later in the Law School
Of Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, Va. He has been a prac-
titioner at the bar in our courts
since then. He is a Democrat
and will faithfully discharge his
duties, and do justly with all peo-
pie whose interests come before
him.

FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

At the head of our column is the an
nouncement of Judge A. A. Hazelrigg for
reelection 10 the Office of County Judge
of Montgomery county. Judge Hazel
rigg has made good officials has prop
erly guarded the county's interests, and
against him no charge of unfaithfulness
can be made. During his term many of
the turnpikes have been purchased and
in this deal he has been just both to the
county and individual stakeholder, pay
ing all the stock was worth, but not one
cent more. our turnpikes under his adj
Iministration have been well kept, and to-
day are in as good condition as when
turned over to the county. Judge Hazel
rigg has ever been an,active worker for
the victory of his party and never has
the weather been too bad, the nights too
dark to do party service, yet he is mod
est and docs not claim he is holiei than
thou. lie offers his record as an
official and Democrat, piedging, if iioiiii-
mated, to land the party with good ma
jority, and should another be chosen the
same efforts will be used, for he loves
party above self. Good!

FEDERAL COURT.

In our last issue we dropped a
hint to our business people as to
what might be accomplished in
the way of having Mt. Sterling
named as the court site for the
new Federal District Court Of
Kentucky. To this our people
have given no attention, while our
neighbor city, Winchester, ever
awake to public interests, are
using their best efforts, and our
surprise is some OF our own PEG
pie are joining them in the interest
to secure the court. To such a
commitment on the part Of our
people we enter our most Wig
orous protest. If there are rea-
sons why the court should go to
Winchester there are additional
reasons why it should come to Mt.
Sterling. Eastern Ky. people are
our people; their interests are ours.
The facilities with which we are
reached, the saving to both the
government and litigants are in
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1901-01-15

Cur favor, and il the court is
worth anything to us our people
should strive for it. Again should
Winchester become the location
for the court, the approved ap-
preparation Of $50, 900 for govern
ment building would be Utilized
and the influx Of capital by virtue
Of location OF court here would
be turned to another place. II
our people would be as active i'll
their own interests as they are in
that Of their nelghbors, to say the
least, we would give expression
to our faith in our own city as a
point for great business intesests
We are not against Winchester in
any Of her enterprises, but we are
loyal to Mt. Sterling, Montgom-
cry county and Eartern Kentucky
first and foremost.

NEW YORK, Dec. l9.-The cor
respondent Of the London Times and
New York Times at Pretoria says the
progress OF the war is emlnently
satisfactory but care should be taken
not to imagine that more has been
done than is actually the case In order
10 avoid subsequent dlsappointments.
ii Is hoped that before long the
cleared area in the western Transvaal
will reach as far east as Mablstand 5u,
there is concentration OF Beers under

berg is probably with Command mt
Delarey. who has 400 men. 20 miles
northwest of Klerkslrop. (l23 miles
southwest OF Pretoria) and another
200 near Wolmaranstad.
In spite o. the line Of blockhouses
and constabulary posts, in the eastern
Transyaal it is still possible for Beers
10 pass west. On December 10. l5l
Beers passed over the Wilge River. but
they are being closely Lursued and will
probably either be captured or driven
out. Blockhouses do not keep the
enemy out unless built 900 yards apart
with barbed wire entanglements be-

about 800 Beers in the Orange River
Colony, besides Dewet's command,
which is divided into two groups,
