Straw vote taken by Thomas B.
Cromwell, political writer for Cincin-
natl Inquirer, indicates that Stanley
is the only man in the race. Out of
twenty.six counties in which the straw
vote was taken, Stanley has major
ity in twenty-four counties and Nc
Chesdey majority in only two. 1t
looks like landslide for Stanley.
The ballot shows that the Democrats
of Kentucky are overwhelmingly
against Estate wide Prohibition. 1"
Mr.. Cromwell's tabulation shows 49,
$50 for Stanley, 500 for McChesnsy,
giving Stanley majority of ID, $50 in

Married at the PARSONAGE.

Last Thursday afternoon, about
$50 o'clock, Mr. J. r. Wilson, who
lives on his farm, two miles north of
Columbia, and Miss Georgia Smith,
who was born and reared in this place,
a sister of Mr.. Clint Smith, were mar
ried, while seated in buggy, by Rev.
0 P. Bush, the ceremony being said
in front of the minister residence.
The groom is one of Adair's best
citizens and the bride is d very deserv-
ing young woman, lady who has
many friends.
Immediately after the ceremony the
couple drove to the farm of the groom
where they will reside in a comforta-
bic home and where there is a suffi-
cheney to make life worth living.
Relatives and friends of both par
ties are ready to extend the glad hand
Of congratulation.

An Important Notice.

Judge John N Newman, of Bards-
town, who is seeking the Democratic
nomination for Railroad Commission
er in this District, has made very
unique and systematic campaign.
He has visited practically every
town, village, and crossroad store in
the District, and the voters have been
impressed with his demeanor, and his
splendid qualifications to meet and
discharge the duties of this important
Office.
In addition to this personal vista
tior, he has written letter to prdc-
tical!y every voter in the District, set
ting out in a becoming and modest
way, his qualifications for this office;
and there is every reason to believe
that when the polls close on Saturday,
the 7th day of August, he will show
handsome majority over both his op-
ponents. The people of the State
have reason to congratulate them
selves in his prospective victory, for
it is quite certain that no man has
ever held the office of Railroad Com
missioner in this State, who possessed
qualifications superior to those of
Judge Newman.

1t is we'll settled fact flat Nor
row will be the Republican nominee
for Governor and Democrats have had
no hand in his selection. 1t would be
more appropriate now if the Republi-
cans would keep their hands off the
Democratic contest. They are doing
all they can to induce Democrats to
vote for McChesney. Why are they
so onxious for his nomination? Do
you believe they want the Democrat
ic nominee to win in November?
There are reasons to believe other
wise, and it will be an unusual thing
if many Democrats take their d.
rection from Republicans who have
never helped the Democrats in all the
past. The contest is between Stanley
and McChesney. Stanley IS Dem
ocrat, an able one, one who can beat
any Republican that confronts him.

Important Notice.

The Fiscal Court was convened last
Friday and Saturday to receive the
report of the surveyor, consider plans
for the building of the Columbia and
Liberty road, and to settle with the
bondsmen for the amount subscribed.
The surveyor presented his survey
which was accepted, and which has
been forwarded to the State Road
Commissioned for completion and in
spection. If accepted, bids will be
advertised for, and by the first of
September will likely be closed so that
work may begin. The court decided
to build the road with metal crown
twelve feet wide with nine inches of
stone after being rolled, the stone to
be covered with limestone screenings
and rolled till hard This will make
road that will undoubtedly appeal
to the pride of the people and show
the real worth of good roads The
bondsmen were requested to pay the
amount subscribed, but owing to the
fact that many had not yet paid, only
part Of the amount was settled.
Subscribers are yet due the court
about 1850 which must be paid in a
short time. In fact the court gave
notice that the remainder must be
paid inside of ten days after giving
notice. Every one who has notes to
collect should not delay in collecting,
and every one who has subscribed
should pay up at once and Let force
the bondsmen TO place their notes in
the hands of an officer. II tile bonds
men fail to pay on demand they may
expect to settle with an officer and
under such proceeding will be COM
PEELED to collect from subscribers.
Get busy, keep busy until every dollar
has been paid.

Withdrawal Card.

Columbia, KY, July II, 1915.
To the Republican Voters of the 9th
Legislative DISTRICT
announce my withdrawal from the
race for the Republican nomination
for the Legislature. rhis withdraw
al comes from the conference Of Col.
L. T. Neat and myself, and the friends
of each. There being four candidates
in the race and three Of them, Tom
Neat, B. G. Redmon and myself all on
the ease side of Adair county, and
with only DR.. Nell upon the west side
presented serious handicap for Ell
Their of US three carrying majority
Of the vote in Adair county, and as
for my part l would not want the
nomination without was able to car
ny majority of the vote of this
county.
1t appears that the Republicans
who opposed the nomination of DR..
Nell prefers presenting a solid oppo-
sition, and for that reason the friends
of L. T Neat and myself have been
suggesting for some time that one of
US withdraw. In response to this a
like number of friends Of each of US
met and with our sanction settled
this matter, and as result of which
am Withdrawing. 1 am satisfied
with their decision and hope my
friends will feel the same way in re-
gard to it.
[ announced my candidacy for this
nomination early enough to make a
thorough canvass of both Adair and
Cumberland counties, but upon ac-
count of the sickness of my father
and other things that come to hinder
me, there are yet four precincts of
Adair and considerably over half Of
Cumberland that have been unable
to reach, and for this reason l have
acquiesed in their decision. and shall
graciously abide and hope my friends
shall dissatisfied to do the same thing
While have my preference among
the candidates yet remaining and my
opinion as to which it would be best
forthe party to nominate, regardless
of their action in this matter, l will
be fighting for the nominee and the
success of the whole ticket in Novem-
Der. Thanking my friends for their
support so far given, and again ex
pressing desire that they will be
satisfied and that the whole matter
will work for the good of the party, l
remain Yours truly,

detectives claim to have rome 10 the
conclusion that the woman In the case
