KIND WORDS FOR
JUDGE HARDIN

Elsewhere in this issue of The Mes
senger will be found the card of Judge
Charles A. Hardin in which he makes
formal announcement as a candidate
for Circuit Judge. In the card Judge
Hardin gives the facts as to the time
he has served. He was elected for a
short term, to fill vacancy caused by
death of Judge Saufey. Judge Hardin
has made faithful, conscientious Of
fetal and his work on the bench has
been highly complimented. He has
lost no time from his duties as Judge
and the fact that the work in all his
courts is well cleared from the dock
cts speaks for his energy and determi-
nation to keep the dockets free from
congestion. -Danville Messenger.

STANLEY WILL RUN
FOR GOVERNOR

1t is reported in the daily press that
Hon. A. o. Stanley will announce his
candidacy for the nomination for Gov
ernor in a few days. This will be
gratifying news to hundreds of demo-
Gratis in this part of the state, not only
among those who supported the bril-
liant Second District Congressman in
his recent Senatorial candidacy but
many of those democrats who support
ed both Beckham or McCreary learned
to admire him and now want an oppor-
tunity to do something for this Loyal
democrat. He added hundreds of friends
to his already large list by his active
support of Beckham and the ticket
after he was defeated at the primary.
From the many favor able expressions
heard here upon his probable candidacy
we feel sure that he will be the favorite
among all the probable candidates in
this section of the state.

A MODEL EX-PRESIDENT.

Never in the history of the country
has there been a man, who, after retir-
ing from the Presidency, has been to a
more flattering extent persona grata to
his fellow citizens than ex-President
William Howard Taft, who is now
delivering course of lectures before
the students of the Yale Law School.
The invitations to lecture that he has
received come from all over the country
and in such numbers that he can accept
only comparatively few of them. He
could fill matinee and evening engage
ments for the entire seasons and even
then have more engagements than he
could fulfill. The desire to hear him is
particularly noticeable among the COL
leges and the professional schools of
the universities, and not few of them
envy the privileges of the Yale Law
School, with which he is regularly con-
nected.
