HON. B. A. ENLOE
NOT A CANDIDATE.

Col. B. A. Enloe, chairman of the
Tennessee Railroad and Public Utili-
ties commission, had expected to an
nounc as candidate to succeed HIM
self as a member of the commission,
but on account of i'll health he decid-
ed to retire with the expiration of his
present term Of office and the Nash
vile Banner Of last Friday first
brought the news of his decision. Col.
Enloe had been member of the COM
mission since 1905 and has been re-
garded as truly the head of that work
ing body as well as being its chair
man.
It seems from the report convey
ing to the people of the State Col. En-
loe's determination in the matter, that
Hon. John H. Trice, of jackson, al
ready had under consideration enter
ing the primary race and when the
Enloe decision became public Mr..
Trice at once left jackson to qualify
in the race. Mr.. Trice is we'll known
business man and will be remembered
as former prison commissioner and
later as a candidate for Congress.

TO THE VOTERS OF
HENDERSON COUNTY

My attention having heen called te
the fact that there is a misapprehen-
sion in the minds of some voters OF
the county as to my attitude toward
the nomination Of the Republican par
Ity, accorded me by majority Of 1910
for the office Of Register of the coun-
ty, ! desire to make another state
ment:
Let me say frankly that the office
| is in the hands of the voters Of Hen
derson county. 1t is theirs t obestow
as was the nomination which they so
generously gave me. / hold no claim
to the nomination except that accord
ed me by their votes. / resigned to
the honorable members of the court
the unexpired term as register. Il
could not have resigned to that BODY
the nomination for a new term Of Of
flee, which was given me by the Re-
publican voters of the county in pri-
mary. A resignation with respect to
the nomination could only be submit
ted to the Republican County Execu-
tive Committee, the constituted and
regular authority of the party. At the
instance of friends and because of cir
cumstances which have presented in
former statement, / did not resign
the nomination. The committee thus
understood my attitude toward the
matter and it ought not to be hard for
any other unbiased mind to reach the
same conclusion.
| beg to say that no mans heart
beats more Loyalty for the interest of
the voters of Henderson county than
does mine. After what you have re-
peatedly done for me in the past |
would be an ungrateful mortal if /
did not entertain such sentiments.
Nevertheless, | want your will to be
done. | was in the race as the Re-
publican nominee only in answer to
the expression of your will at the
polls in the Primary of August 27,
1921, when you gave me majority
of 1910 over Miss Mccall and a plu-
rality of 555 over all the candidates
who opposed me.
Believe me when I say that if /
have made any errors along any line
they were erros made without inten-
tion in any wise to subvert the will of
the people in the interest of personal
gain.
In the light of all these facts, in the
interest of party harmony, to demon
strate spirit Of fairness and equity
to all concerned, l, on this day tender
to the Chairman of the Republican
Executive Committee my written
resignation of the nomination you so
generously rendered me. In making
this great concession, | am surren-
dering for the good of the Republican
party, rights to which l am entitled
through your votes, fully believing
that in the August election would be
amply cared for by you.
| am suggesting in resigning that
the Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee call the Committee together
not later than Saturday and arrange a
primary to nominate a candidate for
Register in justice and fairness to all
aspirants for the office.
Referring to letter in the Repub-
lican June 2, by DR.. p. H. Mccall,
beg to say that everybody knows what
is the matter with him. The majority
of 1910 votes which you gave me over
his worthy daughter, is responsible
for his animus. This is so obvious that
decline to ask for space in the papers
to make further reply to him.
As ever, your friend.

NUMBER IS
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN
THE RICKETTS, CASE.

Another chapter was added to the
Ricketts, case at Sardis, when, on
Thursday of last week the body of j.
G. Ricketts, was exhumed and some of
the internal organs-stomach, part of
the liver and one kidney, if we are
correctly informed--were removed by
DR.. -. -. Doty, Of Savannah and
carried to Nashville Friday for exam
ination by DIR. William Litterer, State
Bacteriologist. At the instance of
some of the heirs of Mr.. Ricketts,, DR..
John Powers, of Lexington, was pres
ent at the exhumation, but did not as
sist the Savannah physician in remov-
ing the parts of the body. DIR. Powers
also went to Nashville. The infer
ence, is Of course, is that the exami-
nation Of the parts were made to as
certain if there remained in them evi-
dences Of poisoning. The case gener-
ally, following the sudden death of
Mr. Ricketts, in his store on the 18th
of April, has attracted widespread
attention and caused much discussion.
The claimed will Of Mr.. Ricketts,.
which was discovered few days after
his death and brought to Lexington to
be probated on April 10th, will be
tested as to its genuiheness in trial in
the circuit court here on the second
Monday in this month, the 18th inst.
The information we have justifies us
in the statement that the exhumation
of the body was done at the instance
of Fred and perhaps some of the other
children of Mr.. Ricketts, who were
practically disinherited in the alleged
will. Some predict that the trial of
the case will develop sensational evil
dence and will doubtless attract
large attendance at its hearing.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. WILLIAMS.

Callie Isabel Mccall, daughter Of
the late DIR. Henry and Mrs. Frances
Mccall, was born at Clarksburg, Car
roll county, Tenn, July 4th, l849, and
as the widow of L, F. Williams, who
died in Lexington in June, 1899, she
passed to her final reward, in the
home of her son John H. Williams, in
Lexington, at 800 o'clock a. m, SAT-
urday, June 3rd, 1922.
She was married to Mr.. Williams NJ
Clarksburg, in November, 1866. and Of
the nine children born to that union

Ark, Elizabeth, (Mrs, Jamese Petty !
OF Dyer county, Tenn, Mary. mrs.
Herbert Roberts) Of Holly Springs.
Miss, John H., of Lexington, and Hey,
of Memphis.
She was sister of the late Judge
John E. Mccall, of Memphis, who
died in Huntingdon, August 9Th, 1920,
Hon. George T. Mccall. who died in
Huntingdon, Jan 28th, 1922, DR.. Will
liam Mccall, who died AZ years ago
at Hollow Rock Junction, and Joe Nc
Call, who died in 1868. She is sur
vived by two brothers and two sisters
DIR. p. H. Mccall, of Lexington,
Hon. ]. C. R. Mccall, of Nashville,
Mrs. Jennie Scott and Mrs. DR.. James
Cox, ELLA of Huntingdon.
Since the death of her husband Mrs.
Williams had lived with various ones
of her children, most of the time with
the son, under whose roof she died. In
September or October, 1920, she suf-
fered a partial stroke of paralysis, af-
ter which she was not able to walk,
but her last illness dated only from
the Wednesday night preceding her
demise. Even the day before the end
she showed improvement and her
people were hopeful that she might
recover-but at TOO o'clock D. M, of
tn day before she died she collapsed
and there was no more hope.
For 40 years or nose Mrs. Williams
had been a member OF the Christian
church and in that faith she died con
fident of her reward-for she had
lived her religion. Throughout her
long, active and useful life she gave
constant evidence that she was a good
woman-just good, plain, home low
ing woman and there is no higher
type. She was wife whe met and
performed her responsibilities, nor in
any Of the relations of life did she
shirk her duties. To our mind there
is no other woman equal to her who
properly performs the multitude Of
duties incident to The rearing of a
large family.
One does not hesitate to express the
firm conviction that such a woman as
Mrs. Williams has won, by her own
life and efforts, through and by the
grace of God, home in the Celestial
Empire where God reigns with those
who have kept His commandments.
The remains were carried to Clarks-
burg last Sunday morning. for inter
ment in the Blair cemetery and when
the large crowd of relatives and
friends who accompanied the body
reached the end of their sad Journey,
thoughtful friends had prepared for
them dinner which was served in a
grove near the cemetery.
Prof. ]. o. Brown, of Lexington,
and Elder Holland, of Crockett coun-
ty, officiated in the funeral service in
the presence of very large assem-
blage Of friends, relatives and neigh
bors who had known Mrs. Williams
through many years.

TELLS WORK
OF ATHENAEUM
"Most Actively Helpful
Organization In Town"
He Declares

To the Editor of the Caledonian-
Record
| have been deeply interested IN
reading in your columns the recent
communication from Mr.. Long,
Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.Tuckerman,
in which these men express their
appreciation of what the Athenea-
UNI is doing for individual homes,
grade school pupils and teachers
and some of our newer citizens. In
the twenty months OF my residence
in St. Johnsbury as principal OF
the Academy | have come to re-
gard the Athenaeum as one of the
most actively helpful organizations
intown. l base my conclusions on
the following three facts.
First, during the early weeks of
my residence in st. Johnsbuly,
Miss Fairbanks, the librarian,

To the Editor of the Caledonian-
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1922-03-06

made a point Of seeing me in or
der that she might offer to me
personally and to the Academy
students through me every posi-
BILE assistance in the use of the ref
erence room and in the purchase
of additional reference books
which would help any considerable
group at the Academy. The i'm
preston which she then made
upon me was one of untiring and
unselfish desire to have the Athe
naeum render service to every
one in the Academy. In the "aSt
twenty months, that impression
has been confirmed and strength
ened. Both last year and this year,
she kindly arranged to I've all the
Academy students instruction in
the use of the Athenaeum. This
spirit of friendliness is manifested
scores of times each week when
the members of the library staff
provide special shelves for refer
ence books, help our teachers Sc
lect books which will be of great
est assistance to the students, and
help our students locate books and
articles of reference.
| have come to know that Miss
Fairbanks and her helpers at the
Athenaeum are ALWAYS on the alert
to help any organization or any
individual who may desire such as
SiStance as can be oiven by the
library, and always ready to buy
books which anv one may suggest
provided only that those books
will probably be used by several
persons.
Second, the Athenaeum is doinp
for the present generation OF
Academy students what judge
Stafford in his address at the Semi
Centennial said it did for him
when he was 4 bow here. 1t serves
as 4 Univcrsitv-it oives one =
chance to study and TO read for
Measure. The extent tn which this
is true is revealed bv the following
statistics which | obtained on last
Friday from 249 of the 316 stu
dents who were enrolled in our
classes on that day. OF the 2A9
Students. 226 have library cards IN

Hold Inspection of
Company d at Armory

Company D underwent a minute
inspection at the Armorv Friday.
The inspecting officer was Colonel
f. K. Gibson, who is accompanied
on his tour of inspection by AL.
iutant General H. T. Johnson of
Montpelier and Colonel E. w. Glib
son of Brattleboro.
Staff sergeant, Carl Stinson,
who is caretaker of the Armory
was complimented on the fine con-
dition of the building by Adjutant
General Johnson. The supply room
was also found in fine shape.
Machine gun drill, together with
various movements in close order
were called for by the inspecting
officers. The members of the Com
pany stood inspection under the
command of Captain Stewart
Cheney, LIST Lieutenant L. F. Dan
iels and 2nd Lieutenant, Ralph Z.
Bean.

able reading at home, totalling APP
proximately COG per month, or an
average of nearly l book every
week each; 240 are using the
Athenaeum for reference purposes
in Biology, Civics, Economic,
English, General Science, History,
Homemaking, Latin and Physics;
and all 249 are using the Athe2
naeum for some purpose from l to
8 times a week, totalling approx
mately 1856 visits per week, or an
average of a little more than
times per week each. These facts
prove that the Athenaeum is an
important part OF the secondary
school system Of st. Johnsbury.
Third, for the last four years
the Athenaeum has been rendering
an ever-increasing service to the
residents of St. Johnsbury, The
number of books drawn has ma
terially increased; 26,944 in 1913;
1926 in 1919 (due in part to the
special work with school children
which was commenced in that
year and which mas been contin-
ued ever since); 40,007 in 1920;
and 44,430 in 1921. Within the last
few months the circulation has
grown by leaps and bounds: 1928
in January 1922 as against 3458 in
January 1921; 5149 in February
1922, as against 347G in February
1921. The largest daily AVERAGE in
the history of the Athenaeum was
reached last month, when an aver
age of pa books per day was
maintained, as against an average
of 213 books per day in the pre-
ceding month. Not only the num-
Der of books drawn, but also the
number of new borrowers has in
creased: $40 in 1919; SOP in 1920
519 in 1921; and nearly 100 in the
first two months of 1922. At the
present time there are 2903 per
sons who are drawing books with
considerable reoulamty,-bettel
than 1 in every persons in the
town of St. Johnsbury.
Such facts as these compel me
to look upon the Athenaeum as the
organization in town which is act
ually reaching and serving more
persons than any other one organ
ization in St Johnsbury. AS prin-
cipal of the Academy and as a cit
| izen of this town, | wish to voice
my profound gratitude for the eX-
i-tence Of such an admirable Ii
brary whose doors and whose la
bles and whose shelves are omen to
all of US from Youngest to oldest.
