Mrs Emmett Dickson Hurt

Friends and relatives of Mrs. EN-
NETT Dickson, of Paris, who is a sis
ter of Mrs. Joe Head and Messrs. W.
E. and Harry Blanton, of this city,
regretted to learn that she was in an
auto accident Thursday morning, as
she and her husband were starting
from their home at Paris, to Gym
thiana. Mrs. Dickson was painfully
bruised about the limbs and body
when Mr.. Dickson lost control of
his machine and both were suddenly
thrown forward as the machine struck
a gully and was turned from its
course. Mr.. Dickson had started
down the Brentsville hill on the Paris
and Cynthiana pike with the power
turned off and his foot OH the brake.
A wagon being in the same direction
was ahead of him. At this point the
road is narrow and as Mr.. Dickson
attempted to go around the gully,
washed out by recent rains, loomed
up ahead. The machine struck the de-
preston with a bump, pitching both
Mr.. Dickson and his wife forward and
causing him to lose control. The ma
chine was not badly damaged.

MALICIOUS EFFORT
TO HURT HARDIN
Made Over In Jessamine Is
Promptly Branded As False
By Prominent Citizen

A number of prominent citi-.
zens of Jessamine county who
heard Judge Hardin's speech
there last week, have promptly
nailed an 11-hour campaign
falsehood, which has been run in
some newspapers in the 9Th dis,
trict as an advertisement, seek
ing to win votes for his republi-.
can opponent, Capt. King Swope-
This advertisement was not
placed in the Daily Register, but
some in this section have seen
it, and it bears on it's face the,
odor of its own improbability
$50 strong, and deserves to be;
branded for what it is, that the.

thes" prominent Jessamine coun-
ty men have to say about it,
Their statement follows: ,.@
Whereas, it has been published
in some of the papers and charg-
ed over the signature of one, E.
A. Royce, that Chas. A. Hardin,
at Nicholasville, on County Court
day, stated that:
"The man who volunteered
flor service, did so in order to
escape the draft and that the
drafted men deserve no credit
for their service because they
had to serve"
We, the undersigned, who
heard his speech, in justice to
Judge Hardin, would respect
fully state that we gave close at
tention to all that he said and
that he made no such statement,
nor reflected upon any soldier
who volunteered or was drafted,
either by direct statement or i'm
plication.
We would respectfully state
that he said the offer of King
Swope to assist in homesteading
Government lands to the soldier
was not original with him, but
being worked out by Secretary
Lane, a Democrat, and had been
approved by Woodrow Wilson;
and that he { (Hardin) had at all
times stated he would stand by
the policies of Woodrow Will

in effect that he was for doing
absolute justice and compensa-
ting fully the soldiers for their
