HAMLET DROPS
HIS CONTEST

An agreement was reached last Sat
urday night between Secretary Of State
James p Lewis, Republican, and Barks-
dale Hamlet. the Democratic candidate
for the office in tie November election,
whereby the contest for Lewis seat.
instituted by Hamlett and now in the
courts, will be dropped.
A statement made by Mr.. Hamlet
Saturday night rccites that he still be-
lleyes thIt he was rIghtfuily elected to
the oI'lce, but that the unfortunate de-
velopments in his family affairs. the
heavy expense he incurred IN the pri-
mary and general election ard the
hostile conditions in and out OF the
party, have made it impossible Tor
him to continue his contest without i'm
posing upon his friends and he with
draws out Of sense OF loyalty to mis-
family and for the preservation of par
ty harmony.
1t is the opinion in Frank fort political
circles that Hamlett's decision to drop
his contest and make terms with Lewis
was due to the lack of encouragement
he received from the Democratic party
organization, and the formidable in
crease IN the expense of gathering
evidence in the innumerable election
precincts OF the State.
Mr. Hamlett. who has been working
ON his contest since the first of the
year, announced that he would take
long vacation at Dawson or some other
resort and would later return to Frank
fort to practice law.

Bsrksdale Hamlet is said to aspire to
the portfolio of Assistant Secretary Of
War. made vacant by the resignation
Of Henry Breckenridge. From our
view point it would seem Bark sdale al

perhaps he has his hand in and does not
aspire TO being a paciicator.

Kidney Disorder
(By DR.. v. NJ. PIERCE.)

The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system. The mere drinking q cup of
hot water each morning, plenty
Of pure water all day, and a little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur If the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
pOisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness, irritability, headaches, chilliness,
rheumatic twinges, swollen joints or
govt.
Since it Is such a simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
will waste NO time in beginning this
