When a Darbourville citizen comes
TO the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The state

places do not command your conf
dence. Home endorsement is the
kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills.
Such testimony is convincing. In
vestigation proves II true. Below is
a statement OF a Barbouryille resi-
dent. No stronger proof of merit
can be had. +

REPUBLICANS WIN
GREAT VICTORY
Captain King swsps Elected To

lucky District
JUDGE HARDIN IS DEFEATED
inspired by Overwhelming success,
Republicans Are pstsrnnlnsd to
Elect the Entire state Ticket IN
November.

Thrilled by the splendid campaign
Of Captain King Swope, Republican
candidate for congress from the Eighth
Kentucky Congressional district, and
electrified by his magnificent victory,
Republicans Of Kentucky are going
into the state contest to win.
The Log Cabin men are determined
that when the polls close on the night
Of November 4, the complete Repub.
licsn state ticket and Republican
majority In the state legislature shall
bring to an end the utterly incompe-
tent administration Of state affairs by
the Democratic party during the past
eight years.
The contest in the Eighth Kentucky
district has aroused nationwide inter.
est. Captain Swope's opponent, Judge
Charles A. Ha rdin, Is one OF the wheel
horses OF the Democratic party la the
state. As chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee he occupies
one of the most responsible positions
In the gift Of his party. The Eighth
Congressional district has been almost
solidly Democratic for so many years
that the mind of man runneth not to the
contrary. The late Hon. Harvey w.
Helm, whose sudden death last spring
caused the vacancy in the district aud
brought about the special election, was
serving his sixth term as Democratic
representative from the district.
The contest was waged on national
and state issues. Captain Swope form
ally denounced the League Of Nations
covenant In it's present form, the adop.
ton Of which by the senate Is de-
manded by the President. The cap
tain also turned his attention to state
politics and fsyed the Stanley admin

Judge Hardin could do nothing but
accept the challenge and defend the
Wilson administration, and, as one OF
the leaders of bis party In the state.
defend the Stanley administration.

HUMAN NATURE
THE WORLD OVER

Whenever plans for a new road
are announced il is human nature
for those who live along the way,
either to bring pressure to bear to
have the thoroughfare constructed
in front of their door, or else to
force the Highway Department to
make retours to save cutting thru
piece of property.
Perhaps no single feature OF road
work has caused the State Highway
Department as much trouble as those
two problems that OF wanting the
highway to pass along my door
and that of securing adequate right
OF way properly located.
Such a policy always reacts upon
the owner in the long run, since
the more direct the road and the
better located, the greater the travel
will be and less the cost OF mainten-
ance. II follows that increased pro-
perry values will more than onset

Knox County is fortunate in hav-

OLD JIM is DEAD

There is mourning in the home OF
]. ID. Faulkner. Old Gray Jim Is
dead. For thirty-three years. indeed
since he came into the world as a
little scramble legged colt, he has
been one of the family. Since the
time when he first learned to be Of
service, he has been farm horse, liv-
cry horse, saddle and buggy horse.
During these years he has contribut-
ed much to human welfare and has
done his part toward making the
world a better place in which to live.
He neither cursed, drank whiskey,
smoked, chewed. lied, told the in
sidious story, nor planted the poi
sOned barb OF malice, dear to the
gossip. On the contrary, he met life
as he found it, with good temper
and the faithful exercise OF strength
wherein he fulfilled the duty OF a
good Christian.
Now he has passed and who shall
say that old Gray Jim is dead since
he left behind him an example OF
good deeds which we bipeds might
well emulate. May his sleep be
sound and il perchance there is a
place for the faithful horse in the
future scheme OF things, 1t is Ger
tain that Old Gray Jim will find
good pasture where he can browse
and that he will look for the friend:

JUST FOLKS
DOCTORS


The nice thing about being a doc
tor is that It is such an easy lie.
He rises at the usual hour, goes TO
his Office, lets people stick out their
tongues at him, listens to see IL their
bellows are believing properly, notes
how the automatic pump is working
gives the patient a prescription and
a word of cheer and goes home
perhaps!
On second thoughts we don't be-
lieve this is the man Of whom we are
thinking The doctor may not have
such an easy life after all, because
besides the little or big surgical
cases which come to him at the Of
fee, there is the constant scurry
from one bed of pain to the other,
the deep study as how best to save
the life so dear to others, hours
when the doctor man, weary to the
bone. pits science against death in
the struggle to save two lives. He
works and watches as the tide OF
life GIBBS and flows, works and
watches with a passionate human
sympathy as we'll as with scientific
precision. While there is a single
flicker of chance, he fights grimly
and when this is gone he makes the
balance of the road as easy to travel
as he may and goes forth to bed
and other telephone calls.
The doctor man is found in the
poorest Kentucky hut where condi-
lions of living have laid several OF
the family low. His chance OF pay
Is negligible, but he works and
watches just the same, supplying
the medicines from his own stock
and charging the amount to human
nature, dead beat.
Thus when the doctor man has
saved our dear ones or has lifted
from us few Kilkenny cats that
had settled in our systems and were
tearing our vitals out, we think on
him in grateful love and when we
get his little billet-douX for services
rendered we fairly fly to his Office
to pay Inn as far as money may pay.
That is the kind of folks we are
you bet - amt we now? Unless
when we get another dose Of Kill
kenny cats. we remember that billet
doux and send for another doctor
so we may stand off billet-doux No
Perhaps that is the fine kind Of folks
we are, you bet - amt we now2
There is one thing tho, at which
even the doctor man falls down an6
that is in an ability to cut out the
human meanness in us. And so
when we feel like cheating the doc
tor man let's go to it, conscious Of
the fact that we are dealing will
a chivalrous chump who will trea
an migrate who has bitten the hand
which treated his wounds.
There are all kinds OF Jus
Folks" in the world, but there is NJ
kind which radiates more cheer
banishes more pain and helps com
mon humanity along life's pathwa!
more completely than the prototyp
of Him who went about doing good
And when doc" dies and i
buried. we feel that the long hour
of thought, sweat and toll for other
will secure for him special eros
of honor to commemorate his hour
