FOR HARDWICK

COLUMBUS, July 11.-Judge A.
w. Cozart, in a letter to the En-
quirer-Sun lauds Governor Hardwick
and his administration and pledges
his support of the governor in the
coming campaign.
Judge Cozart, who was last fall
elected chairman Of the city Demo
cratic committee, and who did not
support Hardwick in 1920, says the
governor "has brains, backbone and
experience and is a statesman par
excellence" The judge states that
the governors administration has
been marked by wisdom and has
been remarkably free from errors
and he deserves the endorsement of
all good citizens"
His letter follows:
"The late Bishop Ward, Of Texas,
used to say that he had more hope
for a man who had common sense
without religion than he had for a
man who had religion without COM
mon sense, for, said he, man who
has common sense may get religion,
but man who has religion only can
not get common sense.

OFFERS BILLFOR
GEORGIA BONUS

ATLANTA, July 11.-Representa-
tive Ernest G. Bentley, of Fulton
county, will introduce a bill in the
house today, granting $12 month to
every Georgian for each month of
service during the war. He declared
that the bill would carry an appro-
priation Of about $2,000,000 to be
raised over period of five years by
tax on automobile oils and greases
His plan is to divide the bonus
into five installments, one to be paid
on January /, Of each year, which
he stated would require about $400,-
900 annually. If tax collections fell
short of the 100000 required, he
stated that the time for payment
would be extended, possibly another
year being added. The tax proposed
to be imposed would be 8 cents a
gallon on oils and 2 cents pound
on greases.
The author Of the bill stated that
he proposed to make a fight for his
measure, though did not indicate the
probable strength his proposal would
command. He stated further that
administration of the bonus would be
placed in the adjutant generals Of
flee, and every man who went to
the war from Georgia will be eligible
to the bonus. | believe it only right
that the state should follow the ex-
ample of many others and give recog-
milton to those who served"

Long before the establishment of
a postoffice John Bradford had work
ed out a mail service. The service
was crude in detail but served its pur-
pose in the small community. All
letters and packages were delivered
to the office of the Gazette which
published a list of the mail thus re-
ceived once a month. Later Bradford
established a post rided for the de-
livering of the papers. Among his
duties was to deliver mail also.
At the coming of Isaac Shelby, the
first governor, to Lexington after
Kentucky was made a state, il was
John Bradford who was appointed to
receive him. For years while the ses-
sions of the Legislature were held in

brary. 1t is not yet decided whether
a bust or a tablet will be erected, the
form OF the memorial being largely
dependent upon the amount OF the

Bradford brought his little printing

Pittsburg, then by fiatboat down the
Ohio to Maysville and by horse over
the blazed trail to Lexington.
The Kentucke Gazette was, when
first issued a single sheet of news
