.I11GES At Meeting THIS MORNING
Hon IA. b. Fleming, Former Governor, and Also
Former Judge, Among Those Who Made Ad-
dresses Complimentary to Retiring Jurists

the Hgor and fluency of his re-
marks.
Attorney Shaw caused a ripple
OF amusement during his remarks
by recalling that he had the honor
Of having been defeated for office
by both outgoing judges. Attorney
Shaw ran for prosecuting attorney
against Judge Lowe and afterWard
for Circuit court judge against
Judge Raymond and was defea ted
both times.
Judge Raymond was vlstbly af-
fected when he arose TO speak
and at first had some difficulty
controlling his voice. He express
ed himself as deeply touched by
the expressions OF affection and
esteem In which he Is held by the
members OF the bar, and hoped he
could take such expressions as an
evidence that it was recognized
that he had always tried TO be fair
mad impartial on the bench. He
spoke OF his ambition to become a
Judge when he first began tC prac-
tlce law, a position he regarded as
the most important which any
lawyer can attain, but said that
resuming the practice OF law again
wolld be like coming back home.
He said that hearing the good
words spoken by members Of the
bar wi.n whom he had come in
contact while on the bench. made
the occasion one OF the happiest OF
his whole life and gave added
pleasure to his return to the prac-
tIce OF law.
Following are the resolutions:
"The Marion County Bar Asso-
ciatlon, in meeting assembled IN
the Court House Of said County, on
this thirty-first day OF December,
one thousand nine hundred and
twenty, being reminded of the ap-
preaching retirement OF the Hon
orable William S. Raymond as the
presiding Judge of the Circuit
Cuort, and the Honorable Scott
c. Lowe, as the presiding Judge OF
the Criminal Court, Of Marion
County, and desiring to spread up
on the records OF said COURTS a
slight token Of the esteem in
which these distinguished officials
are held by the members OF this
bar, and appreciation OF the many
courtesies which have been ex-
tended from the bench during their
tenure OF office, do adopt these re-
solutions:
RESOLVED: That this Bar
now bears testimony to the fact
that the Courts of Marion County
throughout It's history, have ever
been presided over by lawyers OF

probity Of conduct by virtue OF
which the dignity OF the Bench and
high standard OF professional
ethics among the members OF the

Miss SAKE Got Here Last
Night, Mrs. Asher This
Morning

"Our organization in Fairmont Is
as good as it has been In any other
city, with no exceptions, and II
Fatrmont does not experience a
great revival, will be very much
disappointed" said William Asher,
advance organizer for the Billy
Sunday evangelistic party this
morning with the perfection Of

of the advance work in many cities
of the country where great re-
ligious meetings have resulted he
frankly states that he has never
seen the spirit better for a great
meeting" than now prevails In
Fairmont.
THE people Of Fairmont have
met every emergency and done It
well and have been ever ready to
grasp the situation. The churches
Of the city have just jumped at the
opportunity. The prayer meeting
Organization, one Of the most diff
ficult and yet about the most I'M
portant element OF preparation,
has been almost perfect"
"The spirit prevailing IN this
city is best reflected" Mr.. Asher
continued, "by two incidents which
happened yesterday and which to
me- illustrate the spirit of FairmOnt
from beginning to end,
, While Mr.. Asher was at the tab
ernacle yesterday worrying about
how he was going to seat six hun

only three hundred chairs, up drove
a woman with a whole carload OF
chairs, and approaching Mr.. Asher
asked for janltor TO help her car

advance organizer was SO pleased
with the sight Of the much needed
chairs that Immediately he detailed
