Must Give Commission to Will
lams.

Gov. McCreary must issue a certif-
cate of election to j. E. Williams. who
was elected County Judge at the last
November election. The Court of Ap-
peals has affirmed the judgment of the
Franklin Circuit Court in the case of
McCreary, Governor. against Will
Jams. The question involved was
whether or not Williams could be
elected to a county office in the same
year and at the same time a presiden-
tial election was held. The court
holds that the act creating McCreary
County provided that the election
should be held in November, and that
Williams was legally elected.

Blue Grass Expelled by National
Association.

Acting in his capacity as chairman
of the Board of.Arbitration of the Ma
tional Association of Professional Mi
nor Leagues, John H. Farrell. of Au-
burn, N. Y, who is also secretary of
the association, Thursday night issued
a special wire notice to other leagues
which are members, expelling theBlue
Grass League This action was taken
because the Bluegrass League had ap-
pealed to the Federal Courts IN it's
efforts to enjoin Garry Hermann and
the National League from keeping the
league:out of Covington and Newport.
Secretary Farrell may find himself
IN difficulties with the aforesaid courts
as the Federal Judges usually do no
care to have layman give their opin-
ions for them. Of course, it is not
contempt, until the court make a de-
cislon, in the event of which any acs
tion taken by Farrell and the National
Association, if in opposition to the ten
friction, and that the associated minor
leagues would get the "place" only in
brush with the United States courts.

The road leading to this city from the Main Spring Camp Ground is being put into good condition at this time. This morning trip was made from the camp ground to the city limits, distance of four miles, in four hours time. 15 gallons of gasoline were used. There is great saving in the use of this machinery. If teams had been used less than one third of this work would have been accomplished and the ex- pense would have been greater.
