The Danville Advocate in retracting
some of its sensational charges" con-
corning Congressman Helm says it
does not want to state anything untrue
or unfair, which of course means that
it has stated what is not true and what
is unfair, nevertheless Mr.. Sullivan is
having these untrue and unfair state
ments printed in the papers Of the dis
trict at his expense. The Advocate
has thrown a fit or two concerning
some alleged agreement on the part of
Mr.. Helm not to enter the present race
for Congress, stating that it would
produce such pledge signed by Mr..
Helm, in the presence of witnesses,
which we said was not true and called
on the Advocate to produce. which it
could not do.
In nut shell Mr.. Sullivan's efforts
to remove Mr.. Helm from the race is
convincing evidence that he cannot
win with the Congressman in it. The
gentleman from Madison wanted TO
make the race two years ago, but after
going over the district found that the
Tall Sycamore doomed up in every pre-
cinct so strong and so formidable that
the barrier could not be broken down
Did he then cry out that Helm had
promised not to run again: Verify he
did not, but if Mr.. Helm made such
promise then was the time to have en-
forced it And the same is true OF the
present race. as well as all other races
which Mr. Helm has made. 1t seems
that the opposition TO Lincoln cOunty's
son will have to trump up another or
at any rate more reasonable charge,
for this is puerile Interior Journal

Brief Sketch of the Candidate From
Madison for the Democratic NOmina.
ton for Congress. His Record
is Worthy of Emulation.

and by his efforts the high schools were
founded, and even Judge Sullivan's
strongest opponents, who have seen
the results, must admit that his ideas
were correct and that his work will
eventually take Kentucky out of the IL
literate column. Kentucky was almost
the last State in the United States to
establish normal school. Practically
from the time he was admitted to the
bar Judge Sullivan has been recognized
as one of the ablest and most successful
lawyers, and has been counsel on either
one sioe or the other of every import
ant suit at the Madison bar. His prac-
tice has extended to many other coun-
ties and into the Federal Court. He
has at all times been recognized as a
progressive citizen, possessing sound,
conservative judgment, and is one of
the most successful business men in
Kentucky. By his own industry, start
ing in poverty, he has amassed a splen-
did estate, and upon the removal of ].
Stone Walker from Richmond, Mr.. Sui
Ivan was chosen President of the
State Bank and Trust Company, the
largest financial institution in Madison
county. Shortly after his admission to
the bar, Judge Sullivan became secre-
tary to Gov. McCreary during his race
for Congress. Later upon the election
of Grover Cleveland he was rendered
the position of first deputy under Col,
lector Bronston, but declined as he pre-
ferred to continue his law work. He
has been elected Chairman of the DEM
ocratic county committee of Madison
county repeatedly without opposition
and likewise a member of the Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee.
He has also served as a member of va
rious State campaign committees. He
drafted the Democratic platform which
was adopted at the convention in Louis
vile and upon which Governor James
b McCreary and his splendid ticket
won such GROWING victory last No
vember. Then, after Gov. McCreary
had changed an $1,000 defeat to 3D.
900 majority, Mr.. Sullivan was asked
by the new Governor to prepare meas
ures which were to carry out the plat
form pledges. This he did, spending
several months in the patriotic work.
Practically all of the pledges were en-
acted into law by one of the best legis.
latures Kentucky has ever had. His
great service to the party actuated
hundreds of his admirers in the eighth
Congressional district to call upon hin
to enter the race for Congress. real

language of Jack Johnson, "brine

Hon. Jere A Sullivan, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Cong
ress in this district, is man of large
business and political experience, and is
thoroughly equipped to occupy the re-
sponsible position which he seeks.
He was born near Richmond, during
the Civil War. While the subject of
this sketch was very young his father
died leaving widow and seven chill
dren in poverty. The mother inspired
the children early in life with desire
for a good education and all of them re-
sponded and used every honorable effort
to secure the same. Judge Sullivan
was educated in the common and pri-
vate schools of Richmond until he en-
tered the Freshman class of Central
University, from which institution he
graduated with the highest honors of
his class. During vacation he usually
worked as a hand on the adjoining
farms in order to secure funds with
which to purchase books and other nee
essaries. Shortly after his graduation
he served as deputy county clerk and
deputy cir cult clerk of Madison county
and at the same time read law under
the late T. J.. Scott, who subsequently
became circuit Judge and was one of
the ablest lawyers and judges in the
State. Judge Sullivan completed his
education in the University of Virginia,
where he studied law After being ad
mitted to the bar, he formed part
nership with Hon. H, B. Herd, who
shortly after located in Fit. Worth, Tex
as, where he has made great success
as a lawyer and business man.

GRENSOME find
In WAYNE COUNTY.
Two Women Discovered Dead by
Preacher in Country Home.
ADDICTED TO MORPHINE.

Somerset, KY, June.-A grewsOme
find was made by the Rev. ]. L. Muir
rel, OF Monticello, VINO had been called
to the home of isis" Hicks, in wayne
county, to conduct funeral services Of
Uncle Marion Denton. When the Rev.
Mr.. Murrell arrived at the home he
found Mrs. Hicks and her daughter,
Florence Hicks, both lying dead on the
floor of the sitting room. He called in
some of the neighbors and an examina-
ton showed that both parties had been
dead for several hours.
Strychnine and laudanum were found
in the room and suicide was the theory.
However, it was thought by some that
Florence, who was about thirty years
OF age, had killed the elder Woman,
who was about fifty-fve, and then COM
mitted suicide A number of cuts and
bruises were found on the face and
head of the elder woman, and this ac-
tuated the idea of both murder and su-
icide.
1t is said that both women had been
addicted to the morphine habit for some
time, and that one of them had been IN
feeble health. Whether it was an
agreed double suicide, or whether sU-
icide and murder, will never be known,
as there were no other members OF the
family present, the two residing alone.

a gentleman, who resides in Taylor
county, was in Columbia last week. In
speaking of the decision of the United

railroad tax of Taylor county, said:
The last step has been taken by the
county and our citizens now realize that
the bonds will nave to be paid" "a

could have compromised the debt for
fifty or sixty thousand, and as it now

In 1885 Judge Sullivan was NOM

Madison county without opposition
Again in 1890 he was reelected with
out opposition from either party. To

growth of his practice which required
all his time. His record as county at

extend turnpikes, build bridges and i'm

though often requested to become a
candidate, Judge Sullivan declined to
make another race until 1907, when he
became a candidate for representative
of Madison county at the solicitation
of hundreds of his fellow Democrats.
he was again nominated and elected
without opposition. He went to the
legislature not to play politics but tc
frame, introduce and have enacted
measures that would improve and ad
vance the State. He introduced bill
requiring the inspection of State banks
on a similar basis with national banks
but the measure failed to pass unit

Bad Accident.

A frightful accident which proved
very serious to PAUL Akin, son of Zed
Akin, Sparksville, occurred few days
ago. PAUL and Clifford, a younger
brother, had accompanied their father
to the woods for a wagon load of beam
sticks. Returning, cow scared the
team, the wagon upset, the whole load
falling upon Clifford. but he was not
seriously hurt, but PAUL was not so
fortunate. His left arm was broken
and he will probably be deprived of the
proper use of if for life. Mr.. Akin, in
trying to hold the team, also got con-
siderably hurt.

Committed Suicide.

Mr.. ] c. Muncie, prominent law
yer of Edmonton, and at one time Com.
monwealth's Attorney in this the 10Th
judicial district, committed suicide by
shooting in his home town last Satur-
day morning. The particulars have not
reached this office. Mr. Muncie was
about 60 years old, and in very good
circumstances. He has been in wretch
ed health for several years, and it is
thought here that broading over his
physical condition caused him to take
his own life. The news of his untimely
death and the manner of the ending,
was shock to Metcalfe county. He
leaves wife and perhaps several chill
dren.

June Crop Report.

Reports coming to this Department
as to the condition of crops on the first
day of June show the condition of wheat
to be 75.4 per cent. This is decrease
of nearly 4 per cent from 70 per cent
since the first of May.
The wheat crop has not come out as
it has sometimes after severe freez'
ing during the winter. With an acreage
of 1875 per cent, and condition of 75.4
per cent, there is not great prospect
for a wheat crop in the State this year.
Condition of rye is given as 1872 per
cent; the corn acreage as indicated is
1926 per cent, or an average crop condi-
ton of corn 81.S per cent. The great
amount of rainfall and the flood condi.
tions prevented the sowing of large
crop of oats, 1917 per cent being re-
ported, the condition of which is 80. B
per cent. Potatoes is one of the most
promising crops Kentucky has this year.
The acreage being 95.3 per cent and
the condition 95.3 per cent. The per
cent of dark tobacco transplanted June
the first is Ola per cent, indicating rap
id progress is being made in the plant
ing of this crop. The Burley section
has transplanted only 5l.1 per cent of
IFS crop. The recent dry weather has
prevented the rapid transplanting of
tobacco, and the use of "setters" has
been resorted to in order to get the
crop out.
Both the pig and lamb crops are
short ones, indicating crop of 1876
per cent of pigs, and 1877 per cent o.
lambs. The shortage of pigs and lambs
in a great measure is due to severe win
ter and unfavorable spring conditions.
Poultry has also suffered in this respect.
The fruit crop is not good one. Con-
dition of apples, 70 1 per cent; peaches,
6l.S per cent; pears 72 8 per cent; plums
8l.e per cent; grapes 1927 per cent is
reported. Blackberries are said not to
be so plentiful this year. Only 70.2
per cent average crop reported, with
raspberries but little better, Ill per
cent.
Blue grass is reported as showing a
condition of lO3. 5 per cent, alfalfa 81
per cent, and clover 1874 percent.
Some places report an entire failure of
clover, and others an unusually good
crop. The same is true of the fruit
and berry crops. Failure is reported
from some points in the State, and an
unusually good condition in others. The
southern section of the State, as rule
reports wheat in fairly good condition,
while the central and northern section
of the State report an unusually poor
condition exists.
Taken as whole, the report for June
indicates that it will be impossible for
Kentucky to produce an unusually large
grain crop even with the most favor.
able weather conditions prevailing the
remainder of the season.
