The Newcomb Case.

Chancellor Bruce. of Kentucky,
has recently rendered a decision in
the Neweomb case, which involves
some interesting features.
In 1888 Mr.. H. D. Newcomb mar
ried Miss Cornelia Read in Louis
vile. In 1852 Mrs. Neweomb be
came insane, and was placed by her
husband in the kentucky State
Asylum, but was afterwards re
moved to an asylum in Massachu-
settes where she has since remained.
In 1862 the Kentucky Legislature
passed an act making insanity, when
it was the result of a hereditary
taint, which was. concealed at the
time of marriage, an additional
gEopaa- divorce. This Law re
quired that a jury should find the
facts in the case, but an amendato
ry act was passed in 1871. authoriz-
ing the Chancellor to dispense with
a jury. Under the provisions OF
this act Mr.. Newcomb prayed for a
divorce. which was granted. He
was soon afterwards married again,
and by his second marriage became
the father of two children.
In 1874 Mr.. Newcomb died leav
ing a very large estate, which he
disposed of by will. Suit was then
instituted by The friends of his first
wife, claiming her property rights
in the estate on the ground that
she was not legally divorced, AT
ter being a year in the Courts, the
case was decided last week by
Chancellor Bruce in favor of the
! plaintiff, holding the divorce to be
void and decreeing to the first
wife her property rights as the law
ful widow. The result of the decis
ion is to give Mrs. Neweomb the
first one third of her late husband
personal property and a dover il
his lands. An express statute re
moves all question of the le
gitimacy of the children by hi.
second wife. Some of the grounds
for the decision were, that the in.
sane wife was never a nonresident
and there is in the record no afiida
Wit upon which to base a warning or
der. The Louisville Courier Jour
nal, from which we CLEAN the above

was cordially received, and both
pastor and people are still more
than pleased. At Nebo, on the 18th
of March past, Clarence Machine,
Bro. H-'s third son, a youth of
not quite nineteen years, was grant

The venerable William Hensley,
the father and grandfather of the
preachers, still resides in Lewis
county of this State, having attained
the advanced age of about ninety
years. He has been a member of
the Methodist Church, perhaps, six
ty five years. His wife, who was
large and heavy, was almost help
less for about two years before her
death, which oecurre d, probably, six
years ago. Up to that time he was
well and strong, and able to wait on
her to the last. Not long after her
departure he was attacked with
rheumatism in both knees, in con-
sequence of which he is still unable
to walk. Otherwise, his health is
good. Better still, his mind is
clear, and his faith strong. May he
and his descendants ali, at last,
meet in Heaven to part no more
forever.

A Striking Coincidence.

W. @. Hensley, third son of VIM.
and Nancy Hensley, was licensed
to preach at Nebo, then of Mt
Pl -asant circuit, in the fall of 1910
Rev. Rob't I. Andrews P. E.
Shortly afterward, he preached his
first sermon, at the same place, from
the text, If any man serve me, him
will my Father or."-John xii;
26. Next he joined the Tennessee
Annual Conference, and went forth
as a laborer In the vineyard Of the
Lord. For thirty-fye years he has
been, as DR.. Green used to say, "a
regular field hand,n toiling all the
while to cultivate Immanuel's lands.
God has blessed him with glorious
success in his high and holy calling.
OF the thirteen members in his
class, he is the only one now in the
Tennessee Conference: the rest are
all gone-some to their long home.
Not until last October did Brother
Hensley return to the holy hill
where he was made a minister OF
grace to guilty men. Then he ap-
peared as breaches. in charge OF

What the Figures Say.

The financial report in the Octo-
Der number of the DtRacroaY show
such a difference in the amounts
paid by the several charges, that
was induced to make some calcula-
tions, the result of which greatly as
tonished me. l submit tabular
statement, showing the average
amount paid per member in each
charge last Conference-year, on
preachers salaries, including of
course, that of the Presiding Elder.
Also the average amount paid per
member for all four of the regular
Conference collections, to wit
Bishops Fund, Domestic, and For
eign Missions, and for the support
of the superanunated preachers, and
the widows and orphans of those
who have died in the work. This
table will show, 1st, the average
paid per member on salaries OF
preachers; 2nd, the average amount
per member for the four collections
named; and 3rd, the total average
paid per member for both these
objects.
1 also extend this table so as to
show the amounts assessed and
promised for the current year, as
published in the January number
of the DIRECTORY. In this state
ment no effort has been made to ap-
proach nearer than a half cent of the
exact amount paid. In all cases
where the fraction was less than this

It is reported in Wall Street that
when Secretary Robson went into
office, he borrowed 81, 900 to make a
presentable appearance, and that to
day he is not worth less than So, 600,

is the firm belief of those who
know what they are talking about,
that millions upon millions have
been squandered upon favorites by
the navy department ever since the
commencement of the war, and that
the sqandering or plundeFing
is still in pleasant operation.
Let me cite briefly one case: "A
contractor who has had hold of the
navy teat four years, and who, two
years ago, lived in $1,000 house,
now lives in one that cost with its
surroundings, $25O,oO0.
The palace was built for himself
by days work, and was nearly three
years in course of erection. The
furniture in it came from Paris, and
cost $4,000. The stable, built near
the residence is valued at $4,000.
But this ishot all. Said contract
or, in addition to the above, has be-
come the owner since his connection
with the navy department, of hun
dreds of acres of land and valuable
buildings and stores, which be has
either erected or purchased. In
deed, he is ranked as the wealthiest
man in the county in which he re
sides, and that is not an hours dis
tance from the city. These ar the
facts, and they carry their wn com
ments.

Some Famous EIen who Have
Visited Nashville.

A day or two ago some Market
street merchants had discussion as
to whether any President had visit
ed Nashville while in Office. The con
versation finally Turned upon great
men in general who have visited
our city, and they requested an
AMERICAN reporter to overhaul the
records and show the facts. Here
they are.
President Monroe arrived here
on June 6, 1919. and remained Eve
days. He was the guest OF Ephra-
i'm II. Foster, then Mayor of the
city, who was assisted by Gen.
jackson in doing the honors.
Few people know that Aaron
Burr was here in May, 1909, while
maturing his schemes for western
empire. The latter fact had not
been discovered and the people gen
orally We'd with each other in Civ
ing him an enthusiastic welcome.
He was again here IN the following
August, advancing his plans His
schemes were vestilated in the fall
of 1906, and our citizens burnt him
in efIigy.
In May, 1897, during the terrible
atrocities that followed the French
revolution, three exiled reyalists
sons of the Duke Of Orleans, arrived
in the city. The eldest subsequent
/ " mounted the throne, and became
the famous Louis Philippe. They
left a tradition that they had hidden
a box of jewels somewhere on tn,
banks of the Cumberland near til,
city. It thasn't been found yet.
On May 4, 1925, Gen. Lafayette,
accompanied by his son and suite
paid his famous visit to this city

There is but little patriotism in
the indefinite charge that the State
bonds. or any portion Of them, have
been issued in violation of the con
stitution and statute laws. Col.
Savage, for instance, can better vim
dicate his patriotic devotion TO the
rights and interests of the people,
by specifying the bonds so is
sued and preparing a case to be
acted upon by the courts, than by
any amount of defamation. We
do not affirm that no bonds have
been so issued, but we do affirm that
the man who knows of such fraud
ulent issue, and can put his finger
upon the law and the provision of
the constitution thereby violated,
condones the fraud by not appeal
ing to the courts for its correction.
Every bond so issued, and declared
a fraud by competent authority,
ought to be repudiated, and il it be
true, as asserted, that large por-
ton of the State debt is fraudulent.
and is so declared by the courts
reputation TO that extent viii be
legal and honorable. But until the
fact is established, and judicially
sustained, to repeat the charge and
assert its ruth, is a fraud upon the
people, and practiced with no good
intent. 1t may suit the demagogue
whose interest it is to demoralize
and confound public sentiment, to
ride such hobby, but those with
whom he would thus triae, should
hold him strictly accountable foi
not taking proper steps to relieve
them from a heavy fraudulent debt
Let him prove his faith by his
works, or repudiate him as first
elias humbug. The courts are open
to every applicant for redress, and
since no repudiator has made an is-
sue before them demanding a decis

presumption is that the fraud is il

IFrom the Columbia District Direetory.l
Rev. r. G. Irvine.

On the 4th of February, 1876,
while this good man and estimable
minister of Jesus Christ was sitting
in the midst Of his family at home
a strange scene fitted before him,
and the sight OF his right eye failed
to an alarming extent. This fail
ure of vision was sudden and pain
less. That eye is now almost to
tally blind. With it he can simply
discern the difference between day
and night. How sad that the light,
the beautiful light, should thus
vanish into dal3ness! But Bro.
Irvine bears his afilietion bravely
and Christianity. His faith and for
titude are precious beyond all price.
He is at his work, preaching, pray
ing, visiting, and singing the songs
Of Zion. Like his Lord, he is GO
ing about doing good. 1 am glad
to know he has the confidence, sym
pathy, and love of his people in an
eminent degree.
His other eye is said to be some
what diseased. and he has some
fear that he viii lose 1t also; but he
hopes for a happier lot. Let all
who read this notice pray that God
may restore his lost vision, and
spare him long to bless his family
the Church, the country, and the
world.
But whatever may await him
light or darkLess-I am happy tc
say, that even in the deepest night
and the densest gloom, he can still
see well enough to read his title
clear to a mansion in the skies.
