Unique Announcement for tiovernor.
In the following unique card the
Hon. Max Hanberry, a prominent
member of the Cadiz bar formally
announces his candidacy for gov
ernor of Kentucky, the announce
ment appearing in the Calloway
County Gazette at Murray, says a
recent Owensboro, Ky., press dis
patch :
“Having stood for many years
for equal rights to all and exclu
sive priviledge to none not even
barring the women, and all these
years having advocated the five
cardinal principles, and this being
so well known to most of the peo
ple, if not all; and owing to the
further fact that even Gus Wilson
has once been elected governor,
though knowing as I do that it will
be a great sacrifice personally and
financially to accept this position,
feeling so keenly the many labor
iousduties of this responsible posi
tion. Yet, owing to this great
pressure, I have decided to accept
it. In fact I see no possible way
to avoid it, and now, inordpr that
none may misunderstand my po
sition, will one more time make
myself clear.
“First—l am unalterably in fa
vor of giving every yellow dog
democrat a lucrative office, one
whic.l will be remunerative enough
to keep him from want, exertion
and worry.
“Second—l am in favor of giv
ing every white republican, espec
ially those who voted for Gus Will
son and still remain loyal to their
party, a pension. Same to be
ample to keep the wolf away from
tnv d ? or without, effort or cars on
his part.
“Thirc!-_*i am mfavorof giving
every negro a watermelon patch, a
mule and a fish pond with import
ed labor to handle his mule and
cultivate the melons free of care or
cost to him.
“Fourth —I am in favor of and
will give every married woman a
forty horsepower automobile of her
own selection, and two hats each
season, every hat as large as any
turbine wheel now in use for the
operation of any grist mill in the
state of not more than 100 barrels
capacity, together with a half ton
of chewing gum for each one an
nually, and will grant each one
the exquisite priviledge of saying
any thing she may see fit about
her neighbors, no odds how sland
erous, without fear or hindrance
either of law or equity. Os course
it goes without saying that every
girl and single woman in all this
commonwealth is to have a wicker
phaeton and a spotted pony with
out cost or care.
“So, with some degree of impa
tience, not on my account how
ever, but on account of the ‘dear
people.’ 1 await my inaugural.
Max Hanberry.”
It should lie noted that Mr. Han
berry does not announce from
which one of the great parties he
seeks the nomination.—Ex.
A Peculiar Case.
H. Leader was caught at an
early hour Sunday morning bv
Policeman Tomkins taking mer
chandise from bis store on Jack
son street, and the goods were at
tached by Sheriff J. J. Flanders.
Readers of The Herald are fa
miliar with the Leader-Raphair
case, which was disposed of several
weeks ago Leader at that time ac
cused Alex Raphair of stealing his
goods. In.the trial Raphair came
clear, and certain evidence com
pelled the authorities to suspicion
that Leader, himself had been
shipping goods from his store to
Macon and other places, prepara
tory to entering bankruptcy. Since
the trial Leader has been closely
watched with the result above
stated.
It is said that for 6otne time
Leader has befcn shipping goods
from “M, Ross, Dublin, Ga.to M.
Ross, Macon, Ga. paying the
freight himself, and forwarding
the goods from Macon to his
brother’s store in Vidalia. It is
said bv a clerk in bis store that he
and his brother in Vidalia attempt
ed to check as baggage to Vidalia
a large trunk, which was claimed
to be filled with cotton overalls,
but which win filled with the best
goods he carried. The agent would
not check t lie trunk and Leader
was compelled to t>end it i>y freight.
It is said that Leader tried to
have Raphair carried to Lyons,
Toombs county, when he was
aivsted, because he thought it
would be easier to jail Raphair
their than in Laurens. It would
seem that. Leader wanted to have
Raphair locked up merely as an
excuse to his creditors. If he
could have got Raphair behind the
liars lie would huve immediately
entered in bankruptcy and point
ed his finger at Raphair as the rea
son. But his plan failed, for when
the sheriff went to Savannah after
Raphair, he learned something of
Leader’s business methods from
certain wholesale Bhoe and dry
goods houses there.
Shortly after midnight Sunday
morning Policeman Tompkins saw
a light in Leader’s store. The cur
tains were down, but he was able
to see that Leader was packing a
large suit case. When Leader
came out Mr. Tompkins held him
until a phone message had brought
Sheriff Flanders, who attached the
goods. On opening the suit case
the sheriff found a dozen pair of
ladies patent kid-top shoes. Tues
day Leader went into bankruptcy.
It is said that his liabilities are be
tween SIO,OOO and $12,000, and
that his assets amount to $3,000. —

The Capital Moving Question.
The Central Capital Association
held one of the most interesting
meetings that has been held sinoe
the movement to remove the Cap
ital was launched. The Association
will now, by action taken at this
meeting, become a State-Wide As
sociation and will solicit members
from all over the State. 5000 hand
some gold buttons were ordered I
this afternoon and the game num-1
bar of engraved certificates cn
membership will go with the but
ton. Each person in the State who
sends to the Capital Association
the sum of one dollar will receive
one of the gold buttons and a
handsome certificate of member
ship and will be a member in good
standing.
It is planned to have a barbecue
for the entire State in the near
future and every member of the
Association will be invited to go
to Macon and join in the festivi
ties. Now that a $500,000 hotel
will be built in Macon at once,
the moving of the Capital will go
forward with a leap and a bound.
President W. E Dun woody is de
termined to carry on a great cam
paign as soon as they have the
5,000 new members, to put. on
many new invotations in the line
of the campaign. In sending in
vour dollar for membership mark
it plain to Secretary E. H. Hy
man, Centra* Capital Association,
and it will meet with prompt at
tention.
In addition to the button and
certificate, all members will re
ceive a handsome map of Georgia
if they have not one already and
also a copy of every piece of print
ed matter that is gotten out by the
Association. It is the intention of
the Executive Committee of the
Association to let the people of
this great State know that this is
their movement, and while Macon
did inaugurate the movement, and
has done the work all along the
line so far, that it was no selfish
move on the part of Macon’s citi
zens, but for the general interest,
and the good and convenience of
those c.f the State who have been
deprived of coming as often to the
Capital City, as they desired and
for those whose duties curried
them often.
By locating the Capital at Ma
con in the directcenter of the State
it would be within easy access to
and from all parts, and thus be a
great saving in railroad fare. It is
hoped that, by the end of the first
week we will enroll some 500 new
members. Send in your name at
once and become identified with
this grpat movement.
