Rev. S. B. Vaught and family have
gone to Mr.. Vaught's new charge at

Bramwell Methodist church he made
q most enviable record. He drew to
him and interested in church work
men who had never been reached be-
fore. He built one of the handsomest
churches in Holston Conference, COM
mencing without money. II is related
that one morning wealthy man was
passing by the present site Of the
church and saw Mr.. Vsught digging
there. "What are you going to do?"
asked the passerby. Build q church, "
said the preacher. where are you
going to get the money!" "The Lord
will make you fellows give it to me, "
and the digging went on and the
church was built and paid for. An
other instance Of Mr.. Vaught's hold
on the people was the offer by citizen
to individually pay the entire salary il
Mr.. Vaught was made presiding elder
of the new district.
johnson City is to be congratulated
on his appointment.
The Bramwell church has adopted
the following resolutions:
Whereas, under the laws Of the

been with us for the past four years

AN ANSW Err
TO Falkensten's Charge of PO-
litical Chicanery.
ATTORNEY H. s. BLOOD
Thinks Charge Made Against Highest
Court in the State Serious One
and Feels Disposed to Answer.

In last weeks issue of the
News an editorial appeared in
which the editor stated that it
would be hard for the voters to
see the decision rendered by
our Supreme Court on the Dis
trict Division Bill in any other
light than political chicancery.
This inferred charge agains
the highest Court in this state
is such a serious matter that |
feel disposed to answer it and
make short statement of the
matter as it is understood by at
least one voter in this district.
During our last Legislative
session a bill was drafted by
Mr.. burr providing for the
creation of Ninth Judicial
District to be composed of Bot
tineau, McHenry and Pierce
counties. Senator Rice of Nc
Henry County introduced it
and it became known as Senate
Bill No. 90. 1t was killed and
allowed to remain so until the
very close of the session when
it was resurrected, an amend
ment incorporated into it and
passed at the last moment with
the amendment in it, reading
as fOllOwS:-
Sec. 4. JUDGE, WHEN
CHOSEN.) There shall be
chosen a Judge of the District
Court for the Ninth Judicial
District at the general election
to be held in November, 1903,
and thereafter as provided by
law.
Sec. 5. (OLD BOUNDAR-
les REMAIN UNTIL NEW
JUDGE QUALIFIES.) Until
the election and qualification of
the Judge of the Ninth Judi
cia1 District as herein provided
for, all of the territory colnpre-
hended in the Ninth Judicial
District shall be and remain a
part of the judicial district to
which it now belongs under ex-
listing laws"
After the bill had been killed
without the foregoing amend
ment in it and then afterwards
resurrected and passed with
the amendment placed therein
at the last moment, can there
be any doubt as to what the
Legislative intent was? Under
this act and contrary to this
provision, Governor Burke,
last July, made an appointment
and Mr.. Burr accepted it as
Judge of the Ninth Judicial
District and began to perform
the acts of Judge. He proceed
ed to sentence a defendant who
objected, claiming that he was
not being sentenced by legal
ly constituted Court, as the
Governor did not have power
to appoint. A writ was sued
out and both parties stipulated
that the matter be decided on
the one point as to the power
of the Governor to make an ap-
pointment under this act and
it has been decided in a unani-
nous opinion, written by Chief
Justice Morgan that he did
not.
