REV. ALEXANDER sPRUNT THE
CHOICE OF EDUCATIONAL
MEETING.
FOU VOTES FOR D.. DENNY
Not known Definitely That Or.
Sprunt Will Accept-Visited Here
Some Months Ago And Made splen-
did impression.

At well attended congregational
meeting held at the First Presbyterian
church Sunday morning the Rev Alex
ander Sprunt, of Charleston, S. c.,
was extended a call to fill the pulpit
made vacant by the resignation of
DR.. Wharton some months ago. In
accordance with the custom of the
church, no nominations were made,
the congregation voting by written
ballot. DR.. Sprung received large
majority of the votes, although four
votes were cast for DR.. Denny, of
Vanderbilt University, who has preach
ed here a number of times during the
summer. DR.. Graves, of Helena, Ark,
also received a number of votes.
Since the resignation of DR.. Whar-
ton, one of the best loved ministers
ever stationed here, the First church
has been without pastor. However,
the pulpit has been vacant but few
Sundays, various ministers assisting
in the work. Some time ago Dr..
Graves, of Helena, Ark, visited here
and delivered a few sermons to the
congregation, and later DR.. Sprunt
came and preached number Of SER
MONS
1t is understood that DR.. Sprunt has
not definitely stated that he will ac'
cept a call to Columbia. However, it
is believed that he will come to this
field. He is pastor of the leading
Presbyterian church of Charleston, S.
&c. and made a splendid impression
while here.

statute the Legislature did not itself,

ficer he claims to be.
Constituting the statute in question
according to the statutory rule Tor the
construction of statutes that words

language it would seem plain that the
Legislature did not itself assume to
determine whether there should be an

question to the Governor to determine.
The language does not seem fairly sus-
ceptible of any other interpretation 1t
is explicit that the Governor should
create" the Office if it was to exist
When the Legislature adjourned there
was evidently no such Office IN exist

county attorneys remained with them
and were not transferred to any new
Office. The Office of special attorney
