In another column we publish
a letter from Attorney General
Garrett in.which he states his
reasons, in a clear and concise
manner, declining to enter the
contest for the Democratic NOM
ination for Governor. For the
last year Mr.. Garrett has been
regarded as a probable candidate
and manyiof his friends in va
rious parts of the State, and
particularly in this section, have
solicited him to enter the fight
believing he could win in the
primary. be elected in November
and make a Governor who would
unfinchingly do his duty to p. the
great good of the commonwealth.
His experience as the States
chief lawyer, his knowledge of
the true conditions and tenden-
cies of the times, backed by the
courage he possesses, pointed
him out as a most valuable man
to guide the old ship of state
through its present voyage of
sQuaring accounts and plant a
smile for every existing frown.
Fidelity to duty is one of his rea-
sons for keeping out of the con-
test, and We who know him best
recognize that as one of his chief
characteristics-one that has not
only tied the entire Democracy
to him in this section, but many
Republicans as well. We had
hoped he would enter the race,
win in the primary, triumph in
November and prove the mettle
of his Democracy in the kind of
administration so needful in this
day and age, and for which he is
so eminently fitted to give. No
other Democrat could measure
strength with him in this part of
the State and it is a matter of
regret that he has refused to
obey the call of so many loyal
friends.

ROAD PROPOSITION.

The meeting of the Fiscal
Court last Friday and Saturday
to consider the proposition to
build roads in this county. under
the provisions of the State road
law, drew many of our best cit
liens to town and showed plainly
that our people Of the county are
almost solid in favor of accepting
State aid levying a county road
tax to the limit. Friday was
spent in ascertaining the will
and wishes of the people-many
interesting speeches being made,
developing every phase of the
question. There was only one
speech made in open opposition
to the movement while another
expressed doubt as to the advis-
ability of the undertaking. giving
as his opinion that it is too big a
proposition for this county to
successfully handle. From the
many urgent pleas and from the
interest manifested by the many
in attendance showed an over.
whelming sentiment in favor of
accepting every dollar from the
State Aid Fund that could be re.
ceived. On Saturday the at
tendance was fully as good as on
Friday, and after a few speeches
had been made the court decided
the matter by a roll call of the
magistrates, the vote standing
six to one in favor of accepting
State aid and levying a Is cent
road tax-the dissenting vote
coming from Squire Bryant.
Immediately following this de-
cision various views were ex-
pressed as to where and how the
first appropriation should be
spent, which was decided by the
court to use it all on the road
that would put up the most mon
ey. On Saturday, the 9th of
this month, the court will re-
ceive the bids from the various
roads, and will decide at that
time which road will get the i'm
provement. The amount con-
tributed must be made good to
the satisfaction of the court and
payable on the LIST of July, 1915.
To the honor Of the court and
the credit of the many good cit.
liens who participated in devel-
oping this proposition, we feel
compelled to say that in no other
gathering touching the public
welfare have we ever seen as
little selfshness or as much real
public spirit manifested. The
conduct of both court and people
indicate that the movement
launched will not perish in a
few fleeing months, nor lose its
power and vigor by disappointed
contestants for. the first road.
To our mine it means more for
this county than any other effort

Columbia, Ky. e.s.J 49,. "a,
My dear Sir and Friend: ="
have your very kind favor of
the 10Th, asking me to make the
race for Governor, with the
pledge of the support of your
valuab ole paper and the support
of a great section of the State,
which places me under a still
deeper sense of gratitude to you
and my other friends in that Sec
ton.
have received many letters
from different parts of the State,
and some from members of both
the opposing political parties,
asking me to make this race.
I realize that the Governorship
of this proud Commonwealth is
an honor any man could covet,
and have given the matter
much consideration. Should 1
make the race it would be nee
essary for me to neglect the du-
ties of the office I now hold, and
the expense of campaign such
as would have to be waged
would be far in excess of my fl.
nancial resources. For these
reasons l am persuaded that 1
should not become a candidate,
but that l should devote my en-
tire time to the discharge of the
duties assigned to the office Of
Attorney General, and at the
close of my term return to the
active practice of my profession.
1t shall be my pleasure at all
times to do what / can in my fee
ole way for the advancement of
our State, and in the future, as
in the past, shall be ready to
give my services to the party
which has honored me; and it
will be a special pleasure for me
to serve you and my other
friends who have been 80 loyal
and true to me.
With the kindest regards and
best wishes, l am,
Yours very truly.

Suffered From Stomach Trouble and Catarrh Five
 or Six Years
TANLAC RELIEVED HER
 WONDERFUL RESULTS
q Became Despondent and Thought Nothing Would
 Help Me- She Says

Mrs. John O'Connor, who lives at No, 2aS East Oldham street. Knoxville. Tenn, called up the Kuhlman- Chambiss Drug company recently and said she wanted to speak to the aTanlac" man. When MT G. r. Willis, southern distributor for the celebrated remedy, answered the tele- phone, Mrs. OConnor made the following remarkable statement:
 I just wanted you to know, and every body else to know what this Tanlac med icne has done for me. Why. l have gained eight pounds already and have only been taking it for 10 days. Have just finished taking the first bottle, and have sent MT. OGonnor back to the store this morning for another bottle. This Tanlac certainly does just what you say 1t will do. I began to eat better and feel better and sleep better from the very first dose, and the change in my condition has been wonderful. l had good doctor before I began using Tanlac, but he did not seem to understand my case, and his medicine did not seem to do me any good. so I just set it aside and quit us ing it.
 For the past five or six years l have been in a rundown condition, nervous weak and at times very dizzy. l had nervous headache and indigestion perfect ly awful. My stomach was so weak | could not digest the lightest kind of food. l was nervous and depressed ana slept very badly. | had become so de- spondent over my condition that | thought nothing could help me. Ii cer- tainly was lucky for me when I heard of Tanlac. It is not like any other med icine I have taken-it seems to soothe my stomach and it is a fine tonic too, because my appetite is good now and | digest what I eat. If anyone had told me there was a medicine on earth that would make me gain eight pounds in 10 days l would have thought them crazy
 ''I do not believe there is a medicine on earth like it." she continued. "I be- lieve by the time I get through with an- other bottle I will be az well and strong as anybody My eatarrh is also a great deal better in fact, I hardly notice 1t any more. If people do not believe what you tell them about my case l want them to call me over the telephone. My num- Der is 1007-M, new phone'
