Herb Hardy Throws Overalls in Local Political Chowder as Deadline Nears Herbert Hardy, Maury’s gift to area polities, proved again in the past week his ability to sur prise his» friends and antagonize his enemies in the politcal arena. Hardy did an about face on a promise not to run against In cumbent Joe Horton for one of the' two state house of repre sentative seats allocated to Greene, Jones and Lenoir coun ties. Horton announced his can didacy a week earlier than Har dy, aiid as one acute Greene County political expert pointed out, “With Greene County’s vote split there is no way any Greene Countian can be elected if two relatively strong candidates come out in Lenoir County.” This doesn’t even take a pass ing look at; Jones County’s chance of sneaking in a candi date in this three - county affair. Incumbent Lenoir County Rep resentative Guy Elliott has re cently been hospitalized and has made no public statement on his intentions. Jones County’s in cumbent, Mrs. Jimmy Collier, has also made ho public state ; but she did make what f for the two seats allocated these three counties but it is accepted as a certainty that Lenoir and Jones counties will not be con tent with this kind of represen tation.
