ker Bryant Clerk,
Adair County Court.

Last Wednesday DR.. G. NJ. Russell,
of this place, was en- route to Louis
vile, with patient, Clarence Patton,
In his automobile, and when he reach
ed Fern Creek, ten miles from the
city, a serious accident occurred.
The doctor observed an auto, coming
ing rapidly, meeting him. He gave
all the road he could without going
into ditch. The Oncoming machine
did not check, as we understand, and
crashed into Russell's machine, de-
moliShing it. The doctor and patient
we're both thrown from the car, in the
wreck. DR.. Russell sustained several
broken ribs and one knee was badly
hurt. He was convey ed In the Pope
Sanatarium where his injuries were
dressed by Drs. Wathen and Pope,
and in few days returned home. He
expects to be out, able to attend to
his business in few weeks. DR.. Jas.
Taylor, this place, was in Louisville at
the time and was with DR.. Russell
several hours. Mr.. Patton also sus-
tanned cuts and bruises The car that
with DIR Russell was being
driven by a negro and belonged to

Live Within the Law.

Next Saturday will settle the party
political fate of many aspirants for
office so far as this year is concerned,
but another race begins Immediately
between opposing nominees to contin-
ue until November. We have often
called attention to the Importance of
clean contest, not only between the
nominees of the two political parties,
but in party primaries as we'll, and
there is not doubt as to the seuti-
ment OF the people supporting this DO
sition. The time for political de-
bauchery Of every description, in this
county has passed, and no man can
hope to receive the support of his par
ty in the November contest who DELHI
erately and wilfully takes an unfair
advantage of his opponents for party
nomination. The use of money to se-
sure votes is a violation of law, and
any one who will use it to defeat his
party opponent need not hope for the
respect and support of large number
of his party friends. Besides losing
prestige with the best people the can
didate who uses money may have TO
answer for his Offense in the circuit
court. Again the circulation of re-
ports to arouse prejudice or to put an
opponent in a wrong light before the
voters OF his party is contemplate,
unfair and pandering to ignorance and
can only be prompted by a spirit
to wreck another to profit by it. Par
ty primaries ought to be fair, and a
man ought to be defeated in Noyem-
who secures his nomination by doing
injustice to his opponents. So far as
we know no threats of money is play
ing a part in this county, and we
merely call attention to do Justice.
Make a clean race, receive a clean nom-
nation or expect a harder battle in
The future.

other things mentioned in the letter
the southern doctor says, ia speaking
of his SONS: George belongs to the
Post Artillery and will be stationed
at Charleston, S. c., for a time. He
bears the rank of First Lieutenant.
Tom is at the Officers training camp
and has made good, so far We ex-
pecG him to get commission and of

give up two-out of three to your coun-
try, but if they had held back should
