FOR THE COURT OF APPEALS.
The Democrats in Kentucky
stand behind a strong ticket
Making the record of the ad
ministration their platform, they
have every reason to expect from
the people of Kentucky a hearty
indorsement.
On this ticket for the Court of
Appeals for the Third district is
Mr. Rollin Hurt. The Evening
Post can do no better in support
of this nomination than to quote
from a personal letter written
under date of September 2, 1913,
by Mr. E. W. Newman, better
known to our readers as "Savoy
ard." ."I see," said -Mr. Newman,
"that Rollin Hurt, of Adair
-county, is a candidate for the
Judge of the Court of Appeals.
I have known Mr. Hurt since he
was a boy. There is no greater
lawyer than he in the State of
Kentucky. He is a sort of Abe
Lincoln of a man. His talk
would delight intelligent folk al
ways and every honest man
would know him as a friend.
"I have not been in personal
communication with Rollin Hurt
in years. He knows nothing of
this writing in his behalf. I
write it for old Kentucky. I do
not know the political course
Rollin Hurt has taken in recent
years, but I do know him as an
honest man and as a big man."
This was the unsolicited trib
ute from a keen observer of all
men in public life. We do not
doubt that it is fully deserved
and that the expectation based
apon it by Mr. Hurt's personal
friends and political associates
will be fully justified by his
course upon the bench. Let the
people of the Third district see
that he is given an overwhelming
indorsement at the polls. Louis

The Democratic State Cam
paign will open at Somerset,

J. 0. Ewing, a leading lawyer
of Burkesville and prominent
Democratic leader of Cumber
land county, was in Louisville
yesterday attending the State
Fair. He testified to the splen
did condition of the party in his
end of theIeveiith district and
declared tbat.jthe ticket would
do better there than in any pre
vious election, Mr." Ewing made
the race for State Senator in
1913, but was defeated by a Re
publican, although he ran a most
creditable race. He says the
nomination of Judge Rollin Hurt,
of Adair county, was a master
stroke for strengthening the
ticket in his section and that
Judge Hurt's nomination is
worth hundreds of votes to the
party nominees for Senators and
Congressman. W. S. K.

Mr. J. F. Holtzclaw, of Gar
rard county, spoke here Monday
to a fair sized audience. He is
the Progressive candidate for
Congress in this district, and
has some following in the coun
ty. He is a gentleman, who
stands high in his county. Hon.
Burton Vance, Progressive can
didate for United States Senator,
long term, followed Mr. Holtz
claw, taking a crack at' both the
old parties. He made a very
favorable impression with those
of his political faith.

The Decoration at the Bill
Brown grave yard, on Melson
Ridge, went off nicely. The
crowd was large enough and the
very best orday. There were 8
soldiers there: Thomas Hadley,
John Turner, Jim Morrison, P.
D. Compton, John Cundiff and
Abe Garner, Lige and Peter
Melson. I was the youngest
present and I am 70 years old,
so you see that soldier's rallies
will soon be a thing of the past.
Old sister Bill Brown is nearly
dead. She is very old and near
ly eat up with a cancer. Your
scribe preached the decoration
sermon in her yard. Sister Brown
got very happy and gave us a
great shout, so we report that
we had a good -time. May God
help the Melson people to help
themselves to always have a
good time.

The Methodist have just closed
the biggest meeting here at Mt.

country for years. There has
been thirty professions. A great
many of them were heads of
families. I will give a few of
their names: Sidney Holt, C. C,
Holt, Cal Crockett. Bill Murphy
and Butler Kelsey. Well," these
are just sum of the old men. The
crowds have been very large.
The order has been very good.

uplift to the country for miles

rain in this section since July

vest better than an average crop
of corn-
Our farmers have just finished
wheat threshing. 'G. W. Collins
made about 25 bushels per acre
off about 25 acres that about
25 years ago cost about $25. This
statement may be a little stretchy
but edges very closely on the
truth. Mr. Collins, one of the
very few farmers, who has
learned that feeding all the farm
products to cattle and other stock
is a splendid means by which to
increase the farm's fertility and
to enlarge a bank account.
Velmer Aaron, who is teaching
a very successful school at Mc
Gaha, was at home last Sunday.

been ever since.

Iowa. I am working on a farm,
six miles north of Carrollton, for
William Belcher, one of the lar
gest farmers and cattle feeders
in the county. He has six hun
dred and forty acres'of land here
and seven hundred acres in Tex
as. He keeps three hands all
the year and extras at the bus
iest season. We had one hundred
and fifty acres of corn and sev
enty acres of meadow this year.
We have shipped four or five
carloads of hogs this year and
eighty-four head of cattle that
brought $9.75 per hundred. He
has about one hundred and sev
enty-five cattle now, and about
two hundred and fifty hoes. I
have been working here two
years. It is certainly a nice
place to stay. He has a nice au
to. He gives us boys a ride oc
casionally. Jim S h i r 1 ey and
Sawney Browning are near here.
Both have good places to work.
I see them often. If this escapes
the waste basket, will try again
some time.
