A Card From Mr. Barden.
Owing to the illness of one of my
children and my wife, it has been
impossible for me to leave hoove
and call on the people of the conn
ty as ] had intended to do. I
would like very much to visit ev
ery home in the county and shake
the hand of every citizen within
her borders, but 1 am provi
dentially hindered, ahd it will be
impossible for me to do so, for I
believe my duty is at home.
Therefore, 1 ask you one and all to
accept this as a personal visit and
help me with your support and in
intluenee in the coming primary.
I have been able to visit no one,
and when leaving to serve paper
was forced to hurry home as soon
as possible.
Respectfully,
George M. Harden.

M is. Stark was brought here for
medical treatment. While Judge
Stai k was in a barber’s chair last
night she slipped from her hotel
loom. Threats of suicide that she
is said to have made earlier in the
day, caused Judge Stark to fear for
her safety.
The long search of police and
detectives was not rewarded until
about 10 o’clock this morning.
Judge Stark\s statement to the
pojiee was that Mrs. Stark was
suffering from a slight mental
abe rat ion. She made repeated
threats Monday to end her life, ac
cording to Judge Stark, but yester
day seemed content, and apparent
ly was in the best of moods when
her husband left her alone for a
short time. —Atlanta Journal.
It may be that just at this time
all the"candidates for the office of
treasurer will object to the article
on the front page in regard to the

but it will only be one week until
I will have eleven on my side and
only one against me.

tection of the people from disease;
provisions for the protection of boys
and girls from association with crim
inals; a revision of tlie health laws
looking to the conservation of human
life through proper sanitation, drain
age, pure food inspection and the in
spection of beef cattle and hogs, which
are some of the sources of tuberculo

resources of Georgia in timber, min
eral and agricultural lands along safe
lines that would not interfere with the
growth, progress and development of
the state; Rivers a geological survey
of the oi;s of the state and a drainage
law that would provide for the best
method of reclaiming waste lands for
the use of citizens and tlie protection
of their health.
A system of Rural Credits, that
would enable fanners to use their
lands as security and receive the bene
fits of low rates of interest, is favored,

firm basis and conveniently practicable
in its operation.
Dr. Hardman has an ambition to serve
the people of Georgia. His ripe experi
ence, successful career, practical abili
ty and resourcefulness eminently equip
