E. B. Whites Plain DeIiVerance

The City Auditorium was crowded
last Sunday morning, when services
were being conducted and the great
evangelistic work was going on under
the direction of Rev. Dr. M. M. Mad
den, Of Danville, Va. The star at
traction however was Sister p. Har-
rell, who is accompanied by her tall,
stately husband, who proved most
valuable and useful assistant. Mr. E.
N f. Norvell came forward and
brought a white girl from Highland
Springs as a living example of the
great work that was being done by
Sister P. Harrell. He hoped thai
Sister P. Harrell would not be driven
out of Richmond from lack of proper
financ al support.

ELECTED IN 1915.
Judge Kelly was elected to the Sa
preme Bench in 1915 for term oi
twelve years. His successor will be
elected to serve out his term. which
will expire in 1927. Just how many
possible candidates the great South
west will develop remains to be seer
but it is certain t1at this sudden va
cancy will precip:tate in the General
Assembly the warmest Political light
IN years.
Judge Kelly's letter to the Governor
follows.
My Dear Governor:
81 hereby respectfully tender my
resignation as Judge of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia, to take
effect the 31st of this month. This date
has been fixed upon by me with due e
gard to the business of the court an'
after a conference On the subject with
my associates. The present term will
rot last longer ttan January 81. anu
The next term begins early in March
There will thus be ample time after
this letter reaches you for the General
Assembly to choose my successor Dc
fore the court meets again.
"This step causes me the most sill
cere and painful regret. I have spent
fourteen of my hest working years o.,
the bench of vi, ginia-five years IN
the Corporation Court of Bristol and
nine years in the Supreme Court OF Ap
peals. The work has been veritable
labor of love, and if I could afford !,

rhis service for the residue of my days
The time has come. however. when my
duty to my family imperatively de
mands that I should give up the posll.
ion and return t. the general practice
of law"
As Judge Kelly is only 81 years OF
age it was expected that he woulu
serve many more years as president
Of the Supreme Court. He was born in
Smytr County in 1867 the son Of Judge
.,ohn A. Kelly. He practiced law in
Big Stone Gap ard Bristol until 1909,
when he was made judge Of the C,I
poration Court Of Bristol. Although
his letter did not so state it is expect
ed that Judge Kelly will practice law
in Bristol his present home.
