Judge Hardin's Card.

To the Voters of the Eighth Con-
gressional District:
After a careful survey of the situa-
tion in the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict, 1 am persuaded that the COL
lective sentiment of the Democratic
voters in the majority Of the counties
composing the District is favorable to
my candidacy for Representative.
Otherwise, Ishould not feel justified
in announcing myself as a candidate
for a position carrying with it such
signal honor for myself, and such
great responsibility to my constituents,
and especially, at a time in the history
of the world, when craftsmanship, to
be personally credible and worthy of
the hour, must ignore small things
and things of partisan prejudice, and
give itself wholly and unselfshly to
great constructive plans of national
advancement and development. Slim
ulated-flattered it may be-by the
belief that so large a number of the
Democratic voters of this splendid
district consider me worthy to rep
resent them in Congress during pos
sible and very probable, epochmaking
period in the worlds history, and
with an enthusiastic appreciation of
the personality, and the exalted
craftsmanship of our great President.
whose policies 1 trust, shall constitute
my working program, if elected, 1
hereby announce myself a candidate
in this District for the Office of Rep
resentative in Congress, subject to
the action of the Democratic party.
1t is my wish that selection of the
nominee for the position be made by
primary election, held at a time

son, who have been the bene-
ficiaries of this agreement,
settle the question as to which
county is entitled to furnish
the candidate this year.
We are confident that the
democrats of Adair County are
willing for these three gentle
men to determine this question
and we are assured by Mr.. Gar
nett thas he will abide by their
decision. This is no longer a
question solely of personal inter-
est to Mr.. Garrett. 1t has
reached the stage where it be-
comes a question of interest to
every democrat in Adair county.
Might never makes right-the
democracy of Adair county in
the interest of harmony has sug-
gested plans whereby right will
prevail. The democrats of Adair
county should and will give Mr..
Garrett at least 1000 majority
in the primary and we believe
that the majority of the demo
Gratis of the other two counties
will stand up for right and will
nominate Mr.. Garrett and save
the District in the coming cleo
ton. If these questions are not
satisfactorily settled then those
who are responsible for the vio-
lation of the agreement must
assume the responsibility for
any injury that may result to
the State ticket in the coming
election.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
News can be found the announce
ment of Judge C. A. Hardin, of
Mercer county, who is a Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, in
the Eighth district, subject to
the action of the voters of said
party, expressed in the primary.
Judge Hardin is a most excellent
gentleman, and at present he is
filling his second term as Circuit
Judge of the Mercer district. He
is an able lawyer, an unfinching
Democrat. a leader of men. Adair
county, the town of Columbia, is
where his grandfather, Parker C.
Hardin, his father, Chas. A. Har-
din, his uncles, Gen. P. w. Har-
din and Col. Ben Lee Hardin spent
the hay time of their lives. They
were all prominent and known
throughout this county, hence
Adair people feel near to Judge
c. A. Hardin, who is now before
them seeking seat in the ma
tional Congress. There is not a
doubt but he would make a bril-.
liant Representative in Congress,
and a large vote in Adair coun-
ty would be highly appreciated
by him. Over his name he pub
ishes an address in this paper.

AN AGREEMENT.

into an agreement that the three
counties composing this District
would in rotation furnish the !
nominee. The democrats of the |
District have acquiesced in this
treaty until custom has made it
the law of the District. When the
Legislature removed Monroe
from and placed Adair in the 10Th
Senatorial District it was agreed
between these democrats who
were instrumental in having this
change made that the agreement
to rotate should continue and
that Adair county should take
the place previously occupied by
Monroe and that under this
agreement Barren county was
entitled to nominate the candi-
date in 1915. The democrats of
Barren County in 1915 accepted
this construction of the agree
ment by claiming the right to
furnish the nominee and this
county presented two candi-
dates to the people of the Dis
trict, Neighbor Hatcher and
Ballard Trigq. The democrats
of Adair County acquiesced on
the agreement by refusing to
present a candidate and by d.
viding their votes between the
two candidates from Barren.
Mr.. Trigg was nominated and
elected. When he resigned Bar
rem county again claimed the
right to furnish the Senator for
the full term. The democrats
of Adair county conceded this
right and Mr.. Richardson of
Barren was nominated and elect
ed. 1t was generally understood
that Adair should furnish the
nominee to be voted for in the
coming November election and
the democrats of Adair county
have agreed upon and are unani-
mously in favor of James R. Gar
nett, who they recommend to

was urged to do so by certain
democrats in Barren and now

ably, as to mutter, "Riffraff!" Pos
sibly he would have shouted it; and
certainly most people believed a story
that went round the town just after
Mrs. Amberson's funeral, when Geor-
gle was eleven. George was reported
to have differed with the undertaken
about the seating of the family; his
indignant voice had become audible /:
swell, who is the most important per-
son at my own grandmother's fu-
neral?" And later he had projected
his head from the window of the fore
most mourners' carriage, as the under
taker happened to pass.
"Riffraff /"
There were people-grown people
they were-who expressed themselves
longingly: they did hope to live to see
the day, they said, when that boy
would get his come-upancel (They
used that honest word, so much bet
ter than deserts" and not until many
years later to be more clumsily rem
dered as "what is coming to him.")
Something was bound to take him
down some day, and they only wanted
to be there! But George heard moth
ing of this, and the yearners for his
taking down went unsatisied, while
their yearning grew the greater as the
happy day of fulfillment was longer
and longer postponed.

CHAPTER ~.

The hero of the fete, with the dark
eyed little beauty upon his arm,
reached the top of the second flight Of
stairs; and here, beyond a spacious
landing, where two proud-like darkies
tended a crystalline punch bowl, -four
wide archways in a rose-vine lattice
framed gliding silhouettes of walters,
already smoothly at it to the %castanets
of La Paloma." Old John Minaferi
evidently surfeited, was in the act Of
leaving these delights escorted by a
middle-aged man of commonplace ap'
pearance. The escort had a dry, lined
face upon which, not ornamentally
but as a matter of course, there grew
a business mans short mustache; and
his thin neck showed an Adams apple
but not conspicuously, for there was
nothing conspicuous about him. Bald
ish, dim, quiet, he was a u~nnotice

him, would theyf He doesn't even
know you, does he, mammal"
"That hasn't anything to do with it."
"Yes. it hasi I mean: none of the
Anderson family go to see him, and
they never have him come in their
house; they wouldn't ask him to, and
prob'ly wouldn't even let him."
"That isn't what we're talking
about"
81 bet" said George emphatically,
II bet if he wanted to see any of 'em,
he'd hat to go around to the side
door!"
"No, dear, they"
"Yes, they would, mamma! So what
does it matter If 1 say somep'm' to
him he didn't like? That kind O.
people, I don't see why you can't say
anything you want to to 'eml"
mo, George. And you haven't an

dreadful thing he says you did,"
well" said George. Anyway,
he said somep'm' to me that made me
mad" And upon this point he offered
no further details; he would not ex-
plain to his mother that what had
made him mad" was Mr.. Smiths
hasty condemnation of herself: "Your
mother ought to be ashamed" and
"a woman that let's a bad boy like
you" George did not even con-
slider excusing himself by quoting
these insolences.
Isabel stroked his head. "They
were terrible words for you to use,
dear. From his letter he doesn't seem
a very tactful person, but"
Hes just riffraff," said George.
"You mustn't say So" his mother
gently agreed. "Where did you learn
those bad words he speaks Of? Where
did you hear anyone use them?"
swell, I've heard 'em ~serreval
places. l guess Uncle George Amber
son was the first I ever heard say 'em.
Uncle George Anderson said 'em to
papa Once. Papa didn't like it, but
Uncle George was just laughin' at
papa, an then he said 'em while he
was laughin.'"
THAT was wrong of him." she said,
but almost instinctively he detected
the lack of conviction in her tone. 1t
was Isabel's great failing that what
ever an Anderson did seemed right to
her, especially if the ANDERSON was
either her brother George or her son
George. "You must promise me-" she
said feebly, never to use those bad
words again"
Il promise not to-" he said prompt
ly-and he whispered an immediate
codicil under his breath: "Unless I get
mad at somebody" This satisfied a
code according to which, in his own
sincere belief, he never told lies.
THAT'S a good boy" she said, and
he ran out to the yard, his punishment
over.
AS an ANDERSON he was already a
public character, and the story of his
adventure in the Rev. Malloch Smiths
front yard became a town topic. Many

pect, he was probably the last person
in the big house at whom a stranger
would have glanced twice. It did not
enter Georges mind to mention ia
Miss Morgan that this was his father,
or to say anything whatever about
him.
MI. Minafer shook his sons hand
unobtrusively in passing.
"Ill take Uncle John home" he
said in, a low voice. "Then 1 guess
I'll go ON home myself-I'm not a
great hand at parties, you know.
Good night, George"
George murmured a friendly enough
good night without pausing. Ordi.

at all, for he belonged, as most Amer.

He pushed ~brusquely through the
fringe of calculating youths who were
| gathered in the arches, watching for
chances to dance only with girls who
would soon be taken off their hands,
and led his stranger lady out upon the
floor. They caught the time instantly,
and were away in the waltz.
George danced well, and Miss Nor

strange feelings within him: an exal-

and seemingly located in the upper
part of his diaphragm.
The stopping of the music came
upon him like the waking to an alarm
clock; for instantly six or seven Of
the calculating persons about the en-
tryways bore down upon Miss Morgan
to secure dances. George had to do

belle, 1t seemed.
