Chancellor w. H. Denison went
down in defeat in the regular election,
but he will be remembered through
out the Eighth Chancery Division as
one who made a name as a good man
and an excellent judge. We take it for
granted that when his time is out and
he is succeeded by Former Governor
Tom c. Rye, he will resume the prac-
tice of law in Lexington-in which he
will prosper, as he was prospering
when he was appointed to the bench
by Governor Taylor.

WILDCATTER CAUGHT AT WORK

Tuesday morning of this week Pro-
hibition officer William Riley Wright
Sheriff T. R. Sisson, and deputies Jim
Smith and Leroy Swain captured a
still of perhaps 80 gallon capacity,
seven miles East of Lexington and ar
rested C. H. ("Bud') Woods, who was
making the first run of about 20 gal
Ions of "singlings." He was brought
to Lexington, given a hearing before
Commissioner p. o. Roberts and made
bond for appearance at the next term
of Federal court in Jackson. Wood
had no defense and attempted to
make none.

A CARD.

1t gives me great pleasure to ex-
press few words of my appreciation
to every one who supported me in the
recent election. / am grateful for
every vote cast for me. ] appreciate
every kindnes shown me by the people
of our county and especially want to
thank the ladies for their support and
my special friends for their faithful
and untiring efforts; and the older
citizens and the ones who made a
special effort in my behalf. With
malice toward none, but kind feel
ng for all, / am,
Respectfully.

ponent, Chancellor w ID. Denlson
who is known to be good man, an
exemplary citizen and who has made
an excellent Judge. But there were
surprises in the election, IN -sunh eossii'
tiles ax Carroll and Henry--and those
surprise votes were exceedingly COM
plimentary to Gov. Rye. Tom Rye
will come to Henderson county COM
petent IN each and every case on the
docket and we hope he will soon be
able to clear that docket--as Chan
cellor Denison has been clearing them
all over the Chancery Division. Cham
cellor Rye will hold the October term
of the Chancery court and will find a
warm welcome at the hands OF the
Lexington bar, the members of which
are known to get along well with each
other and to be at all times willing
to help "hold up the hands" Of any
Judge who comes to us.
Tom Murray, Jr., Attorney General.
Tom Murray, junior of Madison
county who was elected Attorney
General over Perry M. Harbert, of
Hardin county, is wide-awake, COM
paratively young lawyer and when he
comes to Henderson county he will
find that he will be given the hearty
cooperation Of our law-abiding citi-
zens, men and women. If Harbert had
been elected, he would have received
the same. Tom Murray, as the elec-
ton figurse show carried Henderson
county by eight votes, something that
has not been done by a Democratic
candidate for judicial office in many
moons.
F. ]. Azbill, Justice of the Peace.
The election of Joe Azbill as
member of the county Court, to fill
out the term Of the late Esq. J. C. Pc
terson, is man without spot or blem-
ish on his record, so far as we know.
In the recent primary, held by the Re-
publicans he won over one of our
most prominent and substantial citi-
zens, Mr.. T. Edwards, and in the gen.
eral election over Mr.. Cooper C.
Sweat, former mayor of Lexington
and man who is personally popular.
There is always an element Of sympa-
thy for good men who are defeated
but it is also encouraging to know
that a good man is elected to an i'm
portant office.

NOTICE.

This is to notify all persons owning
dogs to either put them up or muzzle

quest is made.

Those Elected
To Office
T. r. Sisson. Sheriff.

T. X. Sisson, Sheriff.
Sheriff T. r. Sisson, who gave up a
railroad job and was elected to the Of
flee Of Sheriff by the County Court
to succeed William Riley Wright,
was making good so evidently that
while he had numerous opposition in
the Republican primary, he had none
in the general election. Tom is just
as active in the enforcement Of law
and is just as pleasing and accommo-
dating in the sheriff as a sheriff
could be.
Paul Parker, County Court Clerk.
We can repeat in this notice every
thine we said for Mr.. Parker in the
mott we gave him when he an
nounced. He is 28, has good "horse
sense" is sufficiently educated-and
except his war service has no public
record. Paul wants to make the coun-
Ity good official, is well able to do
SO and in that capacity will show the
people the folly of believing that any
politics can or will keep a man of
good intentions and good ability from
making satisfactory public servant.
John Scott. Circuit Court Clerk.
John Scott, reelected Clerk of the
court which tries the violators of the
law, was strong enough before the
people that he had no opposition eth
er in the Republican primary or the
general election. A great burden of
work has fallen ON Clerk Scott in the
matter of making out voluminous rec
ords in cases appealed to the Supreme
court, but he was equal to the occa-
sion--and will continue to be so. John
is Republican but not "fool" Re-
publican we have not thing
in the world against him--since he
changed the color of his house bor-
ders.
"Neelus" Scates- Register.
4 C. L. Scates, known and addressed
as "Neelus" Republican, nominated
in the recent primary over some good
men and elected on the 3rd inst, over
one of the best. citizens of the county,
(Mr. w. s. Park) is bound to be
good fellow, or the Republicans Of
Henderson county in primary and
the whole people, are nightly mis-
taken. The people of HENDERSON coun-
ty will always find a courteous well
come and efficient service in the Of
flee of Reister while '-1leelus" is run
ming it.
Carl Edwards, Trustee.
Carl w. Edwards, known Demo-
crat, and son of well-known and ac-
tive Democratic citizen (the late John
r. Edwards) was elected by seven
votes according to the official count
over his next opponent, Hon. F. M.
Davis, who made the race indepen-
IDENTIFY of the Republican county COM
mittee who ruled him out under a
committee rule, but who had run in
the Republican primary and was Civ
EN- larger vote than Mr.. w. w. Rog-
ers, who was declared the nominee by
the committee. Mr.. Edwards will go
into the office with the reputation of
being an honest and capable man
and we believe the people will have no
financial cause to regret his election.
OF course Mr.. Edwards was support
ed by some Republicans and he is
duly grateful for the confidence
shown him in the expressed belief
that the county will not suffer on ae-
count of his election.

Those Nonindt-
ed Aug. )
X. d. McKellar for the Senate.

K ID. McKellar for the Senate.
eKaydeep is a bachelor, friend of
the laboring man--and you need not
fear him leading the country into Boil
shevism. The proletariat stood by
him-and he will not forget it. For
the result of the primary he has ex-
pressed his gratitude in fitting words.
Capt. Browning for Congress.
Capt Gordno Browning, Of Hunt
! ingdon, who was overwhelmingly
nominated for Congress over Arch M.
Patterson (another good mani of Sa-
vannah, is the same man who came
fresh from The WorldWar in which he
saw "distressingly active" service
overseas, and two years ago defeated
in the primary Hon. T. w. Sims, one
of the best men this state or any 9TH
er ever sent to Congress of the Unit
ed States. Capt. Browning was in the
practice of law with Hon. G. t. Nc
Call, at Huntingdon until the death Of
that gentleman last year and has con-
tinued in the practice except the time
devoted to his primary canvass of the
district. "The attrocious crime of be-
ing young man he neither attempts
to palliate nor deny''--but he hopes to
outgrow that handicap, if the splendid
privilege of being a young man may
be classed as handicap. Gordon has
mo kick coming" ON the vote he re-
ceived in Henderson county.
Austin Peay for Governor. ath
Mr.. Peay did not quite carry Hen
derson county, but none here have a
thing against him and our Democrats
will stand loyalty by him in the No
vember election. We reproduce in
this issue of the Progress a great
tribute paid to the life, ability and
character of Mr.. Peay, clipped from
the Nashville Tennessean.
Porter Dunlap for Commissioner.
Porter Dunlap, of Mckenzie, has
"made good" in public life as State
Treasurer during the administration
of Governor Rye an6 he will make
good in guarding the interests of the
people as member of the State Rail-
road Commission and State Public
Utilities Commission. He is man Of
admitted ability and possesses a pers
|senality which keeps ~ sfriend .eHss
won.
r. B. Swink, for State Senator.
Esq. R. B. Swink, of Madison coun-
ty carried all the counties of the dis
Madison, Henderson and Ches-
ter, hence, as State Senator will rep
resent Henderson county in the next
General Assembly. Esq. Swink car
ried this county when he was defeated
by Tillman two years ago, so he car
ried this county again this time with
out any special work in his behalf,
having become well acquainted. Our
people should feel free to call on him
for just legislation while he repre-
sents us.
John s. Fielder for Floater.
Hon. John S. Fielder who goes to
the capital again to represent Madi- |
son and Henderson counties, as Float |
er, was born, reared and lived his life |
in Henderson county. When a young
man he did some counter jumping"
in Lexington stores, then became con-
nected with the Citizens Bank and |
with the Citizens Bank of Lexington, |
when the two institutions merged. In
addition, he has considerable landed !
and farming interes;s-enough that |
he could not fail to have at heart the |
well being of those who till the soil. !
