(From Saturdays Daily Press)

At three fifteen this afternoon
Judge J. F. Gautney who has been
hearing the proceedings in the con-
test instituted by j. T. Hester to
GUST w. G. Middleton from the Of
flee of mayor on the allegation that
Middleton's majority of two votes
in the election was due to illegal
voting, rendered judgment in "a
vor of Hester. Judge Gautney stat
claims of the attorney for Middle
ton where there was any particle of
evidence to show that votes cast for
him and included in the list chal-
lenged by the contestant were legal.
On the other hand he took from
Hester every vote that was at all
doubtful. Five votes cast for Mid
Gleton in the third ward bearing no
numbers at all were allowed for
him. The court first announced
that he found forty-four illegal
votes for Middleton AMI eighteen
for Hester, but upon a rechecking
o, his list he pruned Middleton's 81
legal votes down to thirty-seven aud
permitted Hester's to remain at
eighteen.
This leaves the final totals as
follows: Middleton $40; Hester
357, or majority of seventeen for
Hester.
Middleton, through his attorney,
Judge Light, asked for and was
grnated an appeal to the supreme
court. He was required to give a
bond for $1,000, and was given one
hundred and twenty days in which
to perfect his appeal.
By appealing the case and giving
bond Middleton will continue to
hold the office of mayor until the

DEMONSTRATION MAY
QUIT JUNE FIRST
Funds Subscribed by Public Slow
Coming in and Agent Prepares
to Give Up Work.
(From Mondays Daily Press)

(From Mondays Daily Press)
Thos. J. Bentley, special govern
ment agent in charge of the farm
demonstration work in this county
may resign his position on June l
and return to his farm two miles
northwest of Paragould.
Mr.. Bentley's contemplated res
ignation is not due to his lack OF
interest in the work, but because
there are no funds on hand to pay
i his salary. He cannot be expected
to devote all his time and the use
of his conveyance to the demonstra-
ton work and receive no compensa-
ton, and unless those who sub
scribed county scrip to carry on the
demonstration work in this county
for the year 1915 respond at once
the demonstration will hand in his
resignation on June /.
For four years Greene county has
had a demonstration and the splen-
did results that have followed the
active campaigns each year have
more than justified the small ex-
penditure necessary to pay for the
services of a competent man.
When the quorum court met in
October, 1914, the county appro-
priation for the continuance of the
demonstration was defeated by one
vote. Public spirited citizens, cha
grinned at the action of the JUS
tees of the peace, Immediately be-
gan raising the required amount in
county scrip by subscription lists
The government proposed to give
$500 in money if the county or the
citizens raised $1,000 in scrip
About $500 was raised by subscrip-
ton and the demonstration accepted
the work for 1915, relying on the
quorum court that meets in October
1915, to appropriate the $500 in
county scrip necessary to bring the
amount up to the required one
thousand dollars.
The government has been sending
its monthly installment of s41.6t
to Mr.. Bentley. The Paragoult
Chamber of Commerce, through it:
officials, has been collecting on tn,
subscription list mad has turned
over to the demonstration 1884 il
county scrip. The salary of thu
demonstration at one thousand dol
lars year in scrip is equivalent tt
1888 a month. The amount pait
him in scrip in five months il
equivalent to $66.S0 per month, o.
1888 less than is coming to him
There remains uncollected about
$500 in county scrip, and unles!

Iron Fence For Sale.

ten days, the demonstration will be
compelled to give up his work, and
the demonstration department in
Washington will be notified to dis
continue it's monthly remittances to
Mr.. Bentley.
Mr.. Bentley says he can return
to his farm on June l., and get in
crop this year, whereas if he
waits until July ] it will be too
late to put in a crop, and II he
gives up the work after June L he
will have to lose the remainder OF
this year.
! The work Mr.. Bentley has done
with the boys of Greene county in
the boys corn club and the boys
pig club, to say nothing of the 9th
er constructive work among the
farmers of the county, is of sucf
vast Importance that it would b.
little short of a crime for the public
spirited citizens to force him to re
sign his position because of lack o
| funds.
Of the eight hundred dollars il
county scrip subscribed, six hun
| dred and thirty dollars was raise
in Paragould, and one hundred an
seventy dollars raised in all tn
remainder of Greene county. TIL

COURT DECIDES HESTER
LEGALLY ELECTED MAYOR
Final Judgment Is That Middleton Was the
Recipient of 81 Illegal Votes and Hester
l8-Middleton Appeals to
Supreme Court.

| case is disposed of in the supreme
court, anda, of course, after that
time if the decision is favorable to
him.
One of the grounds for the ap-
peal is the contention of the de-
PENDANT that the suit was prema-
turely brought, that the complaint
was filed on April 10, and the de-
| PENDANT did not take charge of the
office until April IL. The defend
ant contends he could not have been
usurper of the office at the time
the suit was filed.
When court convened yesterday
afternoon Fred Watson, circuit
court clerk, was placed on the wit
ness stand. He identified the poll
books, talley sheets and ballots of
the three wards. Attorney Gordon
Beauchamp, representing j. T. Hes
ter, then began calling his list of
challenged votes. He called the
number of the ballot he wished to
challenge, asked the clerk to look
on the poll book and tell who voted
the ballot bearing certain number.
The clerk then looked at the ballot
and told for whom the vote was
cast, whether for Middleton or
Hester. Attorney Beauchamp chal-
| lenged the following votes cast for
Middleton:

CHURCH, ROW is STARTED
BY BISHOP OF ZANZIBAR

LONDON. April 16-The Bishop OF
Zanzibar. Church OF England. who last
year started the so-called kikuyu con-
'roversy by bringing heresy charges
against TWO Central African mission
AIRY bishops for administering comm
munion 10 Mcthodists. Presbyterians
and Bapiists at Joint service, has
started another quarrel between high
church and low His latest outburst
is against the Bishop of Hereford be-
cause of the appointment of Rev. r.
H. Streeter the author of several re-
liE!ous books showing the influence
.of modern religious thought. TO the
canonry of Hereford Cathedral His
protest is in these words:
Therefore do we. Frank Lord Bishop
OF Zanzibar. hereby declare and pro-
nounce that SO long as the ground of
our complaint remains, there can be.
and from this day forward there is. no
onmunion in sacred things between
ourselves and the Ri. Rev John Lord
Bishop of Hereford nor between our
selves and with any priest within his
jurisdiction who shall make known his
approval Of the false doctrines now Of
iIcially authorized within the dioceee
of Hereford"
In meeting this protest the Bishon Of
Hereford says in an open letter pub
!!sfpd In the Times and addressed TO
his accuser
For one bishop TO take upon him
self TO eScommunicate another bishop
on his sole authority because OF an all
legged misuse OF the patronage Of his
diocese is proceeding which II is not
easy 10 justify, and which certainly
does not tend to edtlcation. Hasty and
il-ccnsidered individual action. such as
yours, could hardly be defended under
any circumstances, and In this case
YOU would have done we'll to bear in
mind that Canon Streeter has not even
been arraigned, much less condemned
before any ecclesiastical court or
synod. and that he continues to hold a
license TO officiate from my brother
bishop, the Bishop of Oxford Thus I
may venture 10 say, as an old man to
