TOM ROBERTS A CANDIDATE.

C. Tom Roberts is a candidate for
the office of Trustee of Henderson
county, The Progress presents his
formal announcement, as being sub
ject to the Republican primary, and
we give him the notice to which he
is entitled without multiplicity of
words. He is a farmer, has reared
his family and made whatever he may
possess by the sweat of his face and
as citizen has won and is entitled
to A No. | standing. We believe that
Tom Roberts can and will meet the
test in case he is nominated and elect
ed-the test the solution of which
lies in the fact that a first-class man
will not ask for nor accept an office
unless he believes that he can fill it
to the satisfaction of the people to
which he is responsible. He asks the
closest examination of his character
if you do not happen to know him and
on your opinion Of his worthiness he
asks your support and influence in
the primary.

HOOPER GETS DOWN
TO BUSINESS

That little "towhead" Ben W,
Hooper, who will be remembered, as
governor of Tennessee, the man
whom Major E. B. Stahlman failed to
handle" later chancellor of an East
Tennessee division and now a member
of the Federal Railway Labor Board,
has made it his business to head a
movement to clean the wildcat stills,
bootleggers, speakeasies and all such
out of the county of Cooke. Hooper
got eight hundred men to back him IN
the law enforcement movement and
the papers bring the news that re-
suits are already being had. If Hen
derson county had single Ben Hoop
er within it's bounds, the same would
happen here. All that has been done
here toward the enforcement of the
prohibition laws is due to the work OF
the prohibition agents we had with US
several months ago and the fact that
we have a sheriff who is willing and
anxious to do his duty. With the CO.
operation of the people, we mean the
real law-abiding people, Sheriff
Wright can and will run every whis-
ky maker and whisky seller out of
this county or land him behind the
bars. Up to now Sheriff Wright has
NOT been given the necessary coop
Grafton to do the good he would
like to see. TOO MANY OF OUR
PEOPLE ARE TOO BUSY AT
TENDING TO THEIR OWN BUSI-
NESS to back up Sheriff Wright in
clearing Henderson county of the
white mule whisky gang-from the
criminal who makes it to the fool who
drinks and buys it.

NUMBER so
CLOUSE SEEKS TO BARE
HULL'S BONUS RECORD.

Washington, D. c., July 15-Rep-
resentatiye Clouse has applied to the
House Rules Committee for special
rule to enable the proceedings of the
ways and means committee to be
made public so as to disclose the vote
in committee of former Representa-
tive Cordeii Hull on the soldiers bo-
nus bill. Clouse and his campaign
manager, it will be recalled, charged
that Hull opposed the bonus, which
Hull denied The circulation of these
charges caused Hull to file libel suit
against Clouse and his campaign
manager, Oscar Clark.
Proof is now being taken in this
suit. The matter has been referred
to a subcommittee of the rules com
mittee, and Clouse is confident he will
be able to open up the records to sub
stantiate his charge.

RAIN COMES TO US AT LAST.

The glorious rain of more than an
hour which came to Lexington Tues
day at about noon, followed by anoth-
er precipitation of perhaps an hour
at an early hour Wednesday and
more up in the day, came in time to
do much for Lexington and vicinity.
1t was the first rain of account
since the First Monday in May and
besides gardens being practically
ruired, the older corn was badly hurt.
However, things are never so bad that
they might he worse-and this com
munity is accordingly thankful for
the rain which has finally come to US.
