REV. D. B. GREGORY
TO LEAVE PASTORATE
Of HISTORIC ZION
GOES TO THE SECOND CHURCH
AT HENDERSON, KY, IN
OCTOBER.
HOME COMING On The 18TH
Presbytery In Session at Bee Spring
and May Act on Departure Of Pas.
tor and Consider Supplying the
Vacancy.

The home coming of historic old
Zion church will be held this year on
the last Sunday in this month, Sept.
28th. 1t is hoped by the congrega-
tion that all of the members of the
church will return ON this occasion
and that many of the friends of the
congregation will also be IN attend
ance, cordial invitation having been
extended to all.
The Rev. Chas. w. Sommerville,
Phi. D., D, D., has consented to return
this year, and 1t is possible that an
other speaker from Central Kentucky
will be secured. The service at IL
o'clock in the morning will be fol-
lowed by communion service. Then
there will be an abundant dinner
served on the grounds. Following
this there will be another service be-
beginning at 2 o'clock. at which there
Twill be roll call of the members.
The pastor of the church, Rev. d.
B. Gergory, will deliver farewell
message to the congregation at this
service, he having accepted call to
the second Presbyterian church at
Henderson, KY.
Mr.. Gregory has endeared himself
to the congregation and to Che com
munity, and to those in the county
who know him, and these will all re-
| gret his contemplated departure
from the pulpit Of the county. The
second church OF Henderson is one
with a much larger membership and
broader opportunities for tho pastor
and but for this doubtless he would
remain as pastor At Zion,
The regular fall meeting OF the
Presbytery is in session at Bee
Springs today, and among other
things the departure OF Mr.. Gregory
from this Preshytery will come up for
consideration. He has plannedA with
the favorable action OF the Presby
terry to 60 to Henderson Oct. 1.
The congregation at Zion has nc
one in view to fill the pastorate made
vacant by the departure Of Mr., Greg
ory, but this may also be considered
by the present session Of the Presby
ltery.

BOOKS is MADE BY CHAR
MAN" THOMAS.
MAKES A MESS" OF JOB.
For the First Time Since the Law
Went Into Effect There VIII Be No
Index Of the Voters to Help offic-
ials In Election Tomorrow.

Chairman Thomas, Of the new
election board, seems to have a PEN
chant for bungling. For the first
time since the registration law ap-
piled to Maury county the election
will be held without an alphabetical
list of the registered voters. Since
the registration was closed he and
his political adviser have about arro-
gated to themselves all authority in
election matters in the county and in
common parlance they seem to be
making a mess" of it. The books
have been copied, it is true, but the
copy will be of no earthly use. In
stead of arranging The certified lists
alphabetically as has been done in
the past in this and every other
county to which the law applies, the
names have been copied in the order
in which they appear on the original
list. Money spent for the copy will
|be SO much thrown away.
The first "bungling job OF the COM
missioner was made when he failed
to advertise his registration and then
denounced the statement in The Her.

But the crowning event OF this Ions
chapter Of "bungling" was taker

COMPULSORY LAW
PROVES BOOST TO
The ATTENDANCE
FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION
SHOWS GRATIFYING
RESULTS.
Big GAIN OVER LAST YEAR
More Than 1000 Are Attending the
Public Schools Than Were There
A In the Former session; Report Of
the County superintendent.

More gratifying than even the
most sanguine advocate of the law is
the result obtained In Maury county
under the new compulsory educatien
act during the first month Of Its op-
Grafton. Reports made to superin-
tendent. Graham show that during
the first month Of the present term
the enrolment in the public schools
Of the county increased Ss6 OF
this 402 we're white and 4a4 were
col0red.~
But an even more pleasing feature
of the situation was the remarkable
gain in the attendance. II Increased
faster than the enrolment. Tho
gain in the attendance for the first
month Of the term as compared with
the same month Of last year va
1O4S, of which 549 were white and
49s were colorel. 'rhis shows that
not only is the new law bringing ad,
ditional children into the schools
but it is holding them there.
In view Of the gain Of $50 last
year over the previous year on the
enrolment and a gain in the attend
ance Of $40 during tile past year, the
situation is one to bring smile to
the face Of those who are interested
in the cause Of popular education
It is believed that the year will
show 1000 more children in attend
ncce that attended the sessions Of
1s11-1912 and an increase Of more
than 1000 over last year.
Superintendent John P. Graham, oi
the county schools. has transmitted
the following report to the state

THE GUBERNAToRIAL
QUESTION.
'GLYNN IS READY FOR WAR
Final Move Of Governor Says Acting

Knickerbocker Press Breaks With
Men Facing impeachment Trial.

ALBANY. N. r., Sept. S. 1.-THE
move in last desperate effort of
Gov Sulzer to prevent his case going
to trial before the court of impeach-
ment, falling which he eventually
hopes to refuse to 60 through the
trial. resign and go to the people"
This declaration appeared In black
type in Acting Gov. Glynn's newspa-
per tonight soon after long confer
ence between him and Attorney Gen
eral Carmody. At the conference it
was arranged that tomorrow all the
state and county legal machinery
shall be concentrated before Justice
Hasbrouck at Kingston to prevent the
release from prison of Banker Robin
through which the impeached COVER
nor hopes to regain his title immedi-
tely.
1t wac agreed that Deputy Attorney
General John T. Norton, once counsel
for the Sulzer-C Carlisle committee
should unite with Assistant District
Attorney Clark, of New York county,
and urge the supreme court to deny
the application for the freedom Of the
prisoner whom Sulzer is using to Sc
cure his own rehabilitation. This
they will do tomorrow at Kingston on
the grounds:
That Glynn and not Snlzer is acting
governor.
That Sulzer possessed no authority
t6 grant the pardon.
That Sulzer was suspended from
the exercise OF his Office the moment
eh was impeached.
/ That from the moment Glynn be
came acting governor he has beer
and is entitled to perform all The
functions of that Office.
Acting Gov. Glynn declined to dis
cuss the dispute for publication.
Il am performing the duties assign
ed me by the constitution and no
talking" he explained.
Lynn J. Arnold, who, as presiden
of the Knickerbocker Press Publish
ing Company, has been befriendin,
Sulzer and chastising Murphy. hal
apparently broken with the impeach
ed governor.
Today Arnold'c paper assailed Sui
zer for pardoning Robin, and It als'
editorially repudiated the charge tina
it was Sulzer organ.
When Judge Arnold was aske'
what caused his break with Sulzer
he replied:
Read the editorials in today's pa
per This paper Is not the organ Q
Suzer or any other man."
Judge Arnold, who is one of Sui
zer's counsel in the impeachment pre-
ceedings, has already differed witt
D. Cady Herrick, chief counsel for tn
impeached governor.
Mr. Hcrrick has criticised Sclze
for preparing no defense against tn
Frawley committee charges and dc
voting his time to attacks on Mul
ply and his lieutenants. He is sal
to have warned Sulzer chat uniess h
heeds his advice he will have to &c

Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1913-03-26

Much harsh criticism of the appar-
emit laxity of the authorities at the
East Maine insane hospital for allow
ing the escape of patient held for
observation by direction of the court,
was heard in Ellsworth Saturday.
Harris Leavitt, who was being held in
the county Jail in Ellsworth, to answer
to charge of larceny, but who may
have to answer to a more serious
>harge because of vicious assault on
Deputy Sheriff Newman in an at
tempt to escape, was committed to
the insane asyl um for observation by
order Of Justice Hanson. While being
allowed the freedom of the basement
Friday, Leavitt and another patient
broke on. window and escaped to
the woods. The fact that after
twenty-fonr hours of liberty, cold and
hunger, they returned to the asylum
Saturday, does not relieve the authori-
ties of the odium. In the absence of
any explanation from the asylum Of
ficials, we do not wish to criticise un-
Justly-they may not have known of
Leavitt's assault on the Ellsworth
deputy-but the incident suggests un-
pleasant possibilities.
