Will Not Be A Candidate

TO the Citizens ofBoone County
Having had numerous inquiries as
to my future aims in politics, will
say through the columns of the
TIMES that will not be candidate
for reelection to succeed myself as
representative Of Boone county, or
for any other office, so far as know
lat present,
Ny reasons for voluntary retire.
ment from the political field for
the present are simple. | have never
had any ambition to spend my life
in politics, my only ambition having
been to serve my people in the state
legislature.
After having won my nomination
in the Democratic primaries, and my
ultimate election by the whole peo-
pie without an opposing voice, and
having served you in our last gen
eral assembly as honorably, as hon
estly and as economically as was
capable OF, my ambition has been
gratihed, at least for the present;
and ! hope and believe that my
actions have been such that you
can endorse them, and would not
hesitate to. give me a second term
should ask it, But my private
business is such at present that it
would not be prudent on my part to
neglect it to further engage in poll
tics.
sincerely hope in the near future
to publicly give an account of my
stewardship, and to do so without
trying to further my own selfish in
terests or that Of any candidate
who may be seeking a nomination

God given plan of every man build
ing the portion in front of his own

Lets build and keep in condition
our roads in the same way. The
material is at hand. In the bottom
country fix the muck road by cover
ing the surface with sand and plow-
ing and narrowing it in, Fix the
sand road by blowing and harrow
ing in the muck, Where neither is
found, shape up the road and put
on the drag, The shaping will not
allow water to stand. The drag
ging will work up the clay as we
once did to make stick chimneys,

officer accompanied his new acquai'xtr
ance aboard the American vessel.
Rodgers greeted him courteously, and
then asked:
'Do you know what ship you are
aboard OFF"
"Why, yes" responded the British
officer; sit is his majesty's ship, Sea
horse"
did you ever hear of vessel
called The PRESIDENT" inquired
Rodgers.
Indeed 1 have" replied the unsus-
pecting Englishman. "That is the
craft we are supposed to take"
"Well, The President has taken
YOU" smiled Rodgers.
The full truth of the ruse by which
he had been betrayed flashed at once
upon the chagrined Briton, but he
saw that he was helpless. The crew
of The President were at quarters
ready for instant action, and the
Highf1yer lay at their mercy under
the frowning muzz1es of the Afneri-
can guns. There was nothing for 1t
but to submit as gracefully al pos
sible. Rodgers ordered the British
colors struck, and soon the stars and
stripes floated in the breeze over
both vessels. The sword worn by
Hutchinson, the English commander,
was the personal property of Rodgers,
taken amidst other plumber at the
burning of Havre de Grace, but
destined to be returned to the owner
in token of the surrender of one Of
his majesty's crack sea-fghters.
The Highfyer was taken captive to
the American shore, and the country
once again rang with the praises OF
the dashing and ingenious Rodgers.
To Rodgers and The President also
belongs the peculiar distinction OF
having fought for so hours in abso-
lutte daylight This is explained by
the fact that the engagement in ques-
ton took place in tho Norway lati-
tudes where perpsayal daylight exists
at a ceStain season IF the year. 1t
was Rodgers who broke up the block
ade of the port of New York, and who
became known to friends and foes
alike by the fitting title OF "the
swamp fox of the seas" He was act
ing secretary of the American navy
in 1923, and on August 1, 1928, he
died at Philadelphia in his fifty
eighth year.
