Facts About the Bible.

The first book ever printed was the
Bible. The first Bible was printed be-
tween the years 1850 and 1455 at
Mentz, by Gutenberg who is supposed
to have discovered the art of printing.
The Old Testament was divided into
chapters as they now stand by Cardin-
al Hugo, in the middle of the thir-
teenth century. These chapters were
divided into verses as we have them
by Rabbi Nathan and adopted by Rob
ert Stephens in his edition of the Vul-
gate in 1555. These chapters and vers-
es as thus originated for the Old Tes-
lament were transferred to our Eng
lish Bible published in 1911 under
King James. The shortest verse in
the Bible in John KIDS; the longest,
Esther viii:9.

Elk SENATOR CATE
MADE A JUDGE
Named to Fill Late Judge John
N. Taylor's Place.
LAWYER OF
HIGH STANDING
Recognized by the Bar of East
Tennessee for His Capabi|-
tiles Gov. Hooper's
EuIogy.

Elk State Senator H. NJ Cate, of
Newport, was Saturday appointed to
the court of civil appeals by Gov.
Hooper to succeed the late Judge John
M. Taylor.
Having been apprised of the efforts
of friends of lawyers in different parts
of the state to urge candidates for the
position, Gov. Hooper decided Satur-
day to save them the trouble, if the
man he had in mind would accept.
He thereuon wired to Mr. Cate. tend
ering him the appointment. Late in
the afternoon. Gov. Hooper received an
answer accepting the place.
Judge Cate was a member of the
state senate in 1908, and was conspi-
cuous figure on the republican side
that year. He placed Gov. Hooper in
nomination at the republican conven-
ton last year. He is about AZ years
old, and was born in Sewer county.
For many years he lived in Jefferson
county, and later removed to Newport
where he has resided for many years.
ARDENT PROHIBITIONIST.
He received his literary education at
Carson and Newman College. He is
known all over East Tennessee as an
able and successful lawyer and is held
in high esteem. He was an ardent
prohibitionist in the legislature, and
supported the independent judiciary
in the recent campaign. He is con.
sentative republican, and has never
been much in politics, his only office
having been that of state senator
In speaking of the appointment
Gov. Hooper said:
''Mr. Cate is my personal friend,
but the appointment is not personal.
1t is not political, for if it were /
would have sought man elsewhere
than in in my own county. 1t is pure
ly judicial. 1t is recognized fact
among the bar of East Tennessee that
Senator Cate has all the qualifications
that fit him for the bench, and that
he will be useful and hard worker
from the very beginning.
This gives East Tennessee two plac
es on the court of civil appeals, West
and Middle Tennessee having had that
honor previous OF the death of Judge
Taylor. The new member will be the
first republican on the highest courts
of the state for many years. Nash
