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. Cotton Seed For Sale.

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.
