IRA ROBINSON.
The state ball was started rolling
Tuesday night with reception in the
city council chambers to Ira Robin
son, who resigned from the West Vir-
ginia Court of Appeals to enter the
race for the Republican nomination
for governor. Judge Robinson is fig
ured as q strong candidate among
the workers as a result of his progress
s1Ve attitude generally, and particul-
arly by reason of his minority opin-
ion in the military cases. When mar
tial law, which was declared by Gov
ernor Glasscock and continued by
Governor Hatfield, resulted in the ar
rest and sentencing of many men by
the military tribunals which denied
them the right of 6rial under the
state laws, even though the state
courts were in session, the supreme
court, on appeal, held that the gov
ernor could set aside the constitution
that created him and sentence peo-
pie as he pleased. This reactionary
opinion was opposed by Judge Robin
son who delivered a mastery minor
ity opinion, which has since been en-
d0YSod Inv nVnl,v Par. A rcooia fion fhot
has considered it, and many have con-
sidered this famous decision.

Unique In That The Promoters Of

Rumors of custer Proceedings Are
Heard in Discussion.

President Petty of the Maury Coun-
ty Good Roads Association, lost no
time in getting down to work. He
spent Saturday afternoon comforting
with various citizens from the several
districts with the view to naming the
members of the executive committee.
The following is the list of ap-
pointees:
First district
Second district-Thos. H. Taylor.
Third district-R. L. Hays.
Fourth district-Dr. Orr.
Fifth district-Thomas F. Hill.
Sixth district-Samuel H. Wiley.
Seventh district-William H. Long.
Eighth district-G. N. McKennon, Jr.
Ninth district-Roy Porter.
Tenth district-English Akin.
This committee will meet at an
early date to perfect organization.
The road meeting on Saturday con.
tinues to be topic of considerable
discussion. 1t was in all of it's rami
fications and in the final denouement
one of the most remarkable meetings
ever held in the county. 1t is rattle,
unusual and assuredly UNIQUE for the
promoters Of an organization to be
left out in the cold when it comes tc
perfecting the organization. But thai
is just what occurred on Saturday
Planned as an attack upon the exist
ing system of road management ant
work house control in the county, the
organization by an overwhelming ma
jority passed to the control of thu
friends of the system and it's mana
gers.
Another fact remarkable about the
meeting was that neither of the two
reports submitted by the committee
on investigation was ever considered
or adopted or rejected. They re
NAMED upon the secretary's table I'm
acted upon. When an effort was latel
made by representative of The Her
aid to assemble together the origina
report, one of the attendants at thu
convention said that he had seen some
one with part of the paper using tn,
reverse side to make some calcula
tons.
| Whether or not these reports viii
technically remain upon the table tt
be acted upon at a subsequent meet
ing of the association remains to b,
seen.
Reports were circulated after tn,

Largely attended were the union ser.
vices held in the circuit court room
Of the Court House Sunday afternoon.
Several inspiring talks were made BY
members of the various churches and
much interest was manifested through
out the meeting These meetings will
be held at different intervals for the
purpose of reaching those who are not
already inclined to attend church and
also those who do not attend regularly.
The program was opened by hymn
followed by few remarks made By
the presiding minister, Rev. S. d.
Logan. DR.. Logan, in few worda
told the purpose and the great impor
lance of the meetings and briefly
touched on the good that may be de.
rived from such. He then introduced
the first speaker, Judge W. B. Turner,
to discuss the question of why Church
Members Do Not Attend Church"
Judge Turner very ably pointed out
the facts concerning this phrase and
discussed the numerous reasons that
had been given for not attending
church. He then stated that most OF
these reasons could be done away with
and if only we had the desire to at
tend the services that there would be
no excuses.
| Col. J. r. Brownlow was then called
on to discuss the subject of "Why
Young Men Do Not Attend Church" "
Mr.. Brownlow stated that there was
no why" and gave as the only reason
the lack of interest and enthusiasm in
the work of christianity. He said
that many of the youths right here in
our own community were drifting
away from the christian atmosphere
and were being branded as mo &C
counts" or 'outcasts' all for the sole
reason of not having been trained up
to attend church and to enjoy tina,
great faith of the Father.
! The subject of why Some IRE
ligious Men Do Not Attend Church
was discussed by R.. S. Hopkins
Mr. Hopkins said that for the purpose
Of being prepared to discuss this sub
ject correct that he had gone to sew

and had asked them the question and
stated that numerous reasons had beer
