Enters Race
For Judgeship.
The following news item, taken
from the Laurens County Herald
of last week, states definitely that
Judge K. J. Hawkins of Dublin is
actively m the race for the judge
ship of the Oconee Judicial Cir
cuit, and that the Judge intends
making it lively for Ilia opponents
during the campaign. Rather
early for the opening of the cam
paign, but circumstances prompt
ed Mr. Hawkins to announce, and
he is making a well-founded and
vigorous effort for the place.
Read the item from the Herald,
as follows:
Judge Kendrick J. Hawkins has
definitely decided to enter the
race for Judge of the Superior
Courts of the Oconee Circuit.
Many assurances of support have
come to him from the several
counties of the circuit and he has
given out his positive intention
to make the race. In an inter
view had with Judge Hawkins he
expressed himself in the following
terms: “Yes, lam a candidate
for the Judgeship of the Superior
Courts of the Oconee Judicial Cir
cuit. I did not intend to get in
to the running this early, but 1
have decided to make the race,
and I night as well announce and
get busy. I love a fight, you
know, and the longer and hotter
it is the better I like it.”
“Will you stump the circuit?”
“I very probably will. True,
there is no precedent in Georgia,
that I recall, of a candidate for
the bench engaging in joint de
bates or making stump speeches,
but why not make a precedent?
Candidates tor bigger offices than
judge make stump speeches i
fail t.o see how it would be less
dignified to talk to the voters
openly and collectively, than it
would be to talk to them private
ly and individually- I despise a
secret, whispering (button-hole
campaign.) Let them be conduct
ed openly and above-board. Os
course I do not mean that 1 favor
resorting to a mud-slingmg and
dirt-daubing campaign. I think
a candidate for any office should
conduct his race upon the high
plane of legitimate discussion.”
“If you make speeches will you
challenge your opponents to meet
you?”
“Yes, sir, I most assuredly will.
I can think of nothing I would
enjoy more than to have a joint
debate in each county of the cir
cuit with my opponents.”
Judge Hawkins was born and
reared in Glascock county on a
farm. Up to January, 1902, he
resided at Gibson, where he held
the office of councilman, and la
ter treasurer of Gibson and tor
the year of 1897 was elected with
out opposition to the office of
mayor of Gibson. Judge Haw
kins studied law under the la
mented Jas. Whitehead, a distn
guished lawyer of Warrenton,
who was a relative of Messrs. H.
P. and M. A. Shewmake of this
city. He was admitted to the
bar in 1898 and in 1902 came to
Dublin and entered upon the
practice of law in the courts of
this county, acquiring a .splendid
practice from the very beginning.
In July, 1908, Judge Hawkins
was appointed judge of the City
Court of Dublin for a term of
four years. He entered upon his
duties at the December quarterly
term, 1908, and from the first in
cumbency demonstrated signal
ability.
Judge Hawkins is eminently
qualified to fill the office to which
lie now aspires, both by ability
and experience, is the opinion of
all who know him. He has many
friends and admirers throughout
the Oconee Circuit who will give
him their unselfish support and
are confident that he will be
elected.

FALLS THROUGH BRIDGE.
Thomasville, Ga., April I. As
Will Pendergast, a well known
young farmer of this county, was
attempting to cross Barnett’s
creek late yesterday afternoon,
the wagon in which he was rid
ing with his two children fell
through the bridge into the
water.
The creek was very full and
the two mules with the wagon
went under the water and came
near to drowning Pendergast
and the children. He managed,
however, to cut the harness and
let the mules go. The children
were rescued with much trouble
and Pendergast was pretty badly
hurt.
The wagon floated off down
the stream and one of the mules
is badly crippled and may die.
