with sagacity the power which attaches
to that important Office at the head OF

Judge Expresses Himself, Granting
Hargis Change Of Venue.


jackson, KY, August 81. A
change of venue was granted the
Commonwealth in the Beech Har.
gis case by Judge Adams to-day
The court delivered q carefully
prepared opinion amid breathless
silence.
"The evidence in this case, = said
Judge Adams, presents the most
unusual state of affairs / have ever
known to exist. The Common
wealth has proven that an over
'whelming sentiment exists in the
county against the defendant, while
the defendant introduced a number
of witnesses to prove the same
fact. In the face of these condi-
tions the Commonwealth insists on
change of venue. The defend
ant, on the other hand, is demand
ing trial among the people whom
the proof shows are clamoring for
his conviction.
1T is proven by one witness at
least that efforts have been made
to influence men to qualify as iur-
ors and hang the jury. No evil
dence is offered by the defendant
to deny this charge. While there
are many just as good men in this
county as can be found anywhere,
the evidence shows. that most, if
not practically all, Of them have
expressed an opinion, and hence
would not be competent jurors.
Under these conditions | do not
believe the case ought to be tried
in this county, and therefore the
change of venue will be granted"

DOLLARS AND THE VOTES.

A Memphian returning from

Bryan.
The observation fits the situa-
ton to a nicely, not only where
New York is concerned, but pretty
much everywhere throughout the
North and East. Special interests
and the money buccaneers who
prey upon the people are found
standing to the Taft guns, while
the great body of the people are
contemplating Mr.. Bryan with an
ever-increasing interest and grow
ing favor.
The fact is, if the people will
simply prove honest to their con-

of possible panics, and refuse to

STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL Assoc
CITATION.

AT the State Convention which
was held in Nashville in May last
much enthusiasm was manifested
and it was unanimously decided tc
reorganize the work and employ
general secretary.
| A movement was inaugurated to
raise a guarantee fund for two
years in order that the Association
might be placed upon substan-
tial financial basis. Subscriptions
amounting to about 81, 800 were
made, and the Executive Commit
tee having received SO much en-
couragement and promise of as
sistance from the Sunday School
workers throughout the State, de-
cided to engage secretary and
put him into the field as soon as
possible.
The Executive Committee now
announces that it has been exceed
ingly fortunate in securing for
that position Judge Joseph Car
thel, who has been so eminently
successful in a similar work in
Alabama. As result of Judge
Carthel's efforts, Alabama is one
of the most thoroughly organized
States, and at its last State Con
vention in Birmingham there were
more than one thousand accredited
delegates, who not only paid their
transportation, but also paid for
their own entertainment while in
attendance upon the convention.
Judge Carthel is no stranger to
Tennessee and Tennesseans, as he
is native of and resided in this
State until few years ago, when
he removed to Alabama. He now
returns to his native State to take
up a work for which he has proven
himself to be SO we'll qualified.
Judge Carthel begins his engage
ment with the Tennessee Associa-
ton on October /, after .ehich date
