Judge B.J. Bethurum, who has served as Circuit Judge of the 28th Judicial District for the past twelve years, resigned this week to accept the position of Legal Advisor to Hon. Sam Collins, Prohibition Director for Kentucky, with headquarters in Lexington. The Judge's new position pays him $4,000.00 a year and will not take up his entire time. He plans on opening a law office in Lexington and practice law in addition to his duties as Legal Adviser to the Prohibition Department. Judge Bethurum desired to continue in the office of Circuit Judge until the end of his term in December, but the work at Lexington was so heavy and the demand for his time so great that the authorities at Washington would not consent to a delay in the appointment. When the Judge first accepted the place he was told he could serve out his term as Judge. The friends of Judge Bethurum regret very much to see him leave Somerset. During his stay here of eighteen years he has made many loyal friends and during all this time, his social and official conduct has been such as to command the highest respect and confidence of all alike. His usefulness as a citizen and official will be greatly missed. Judge Bethurum will still claim Somerset as his home, and will vote here and taken an interest in all the affairs of the city and county. His move to Lexington is temporary. Tandy Hit. Mr. Ed Tandy, while en route to his home on the Stanford Pike, last Tuesday night, was struck by an automobile and knocked unconscious. He was considerably bruised up. Mr. Tandy does not know who was driving the car. Organizing Troop. Captain Solander Taylor is organizing a troop of cavalry and is meeting with much success. He has received all the necessary papers and is taking applications. Anyone wishing to join should see him at once before the company is filled. Going Fishing. Frankfort, Ky., Oct 1. Gov. Edwin P. Morrow left here today for Lexington to attend the meeting there today of the trustees of the Univ. of Kentucky, after which he was to go on his first vacation since he has been the States Chief Executive. He had planned to spend the remainder of the week on a fishing trip on Red Bird Creek, Clay County. Although he had been out of the State attending conventions and delivering addresses on several occasions, Governor Morrow had not been away from his official duties on a pleasure trip. Can't Run. In an opinion to County Court Clerk C.M. Langdon, Attorney General W.W. Dawson ruled that a defeated candidate in a primary can not run for the same office on an independent ticket. Senator Geo. W. Shadoan offered his petition on the 23rd of September and County Clerk Langdon wrote the Attorney General asking for an opinion in the case. Father Ill. Mr. J.A. Cassady received word Monday that his father, who lives at Crestwood, Ky., has suffered a stroke of paralysis and was in a serious condition. Mr. Cassady left immediately to be at his bedside. Mr. Cassady had just returned to his home last week after a month's visit with his son here and was apparently in the best of health when he left here. W.B. Morrow Appointed Circuit Judge To Fill Out Unexpired Term of Judge Bethurum. Governor Edwin P. Morrow appointed his brother, W. Boyd Morrow, Circuit Judge of the 28th Judicial District, to succeed Judge B.J. Bethurum, who resigned to accept the place of legal adviser to the State Prohibition Enforcement Officer. Judge Bethurum resigned on Monday and Mr. Morrow was appointed Monday night and left Tuesday to hold his first court at Monticello. He will hold court here and at Mt. Vernon before his term is up. Mr. Morrow has been servicing as Police Judge of Somerset for the past four years and resigned this office Tuesday. He is a candidate to succeed himself. Mr. Morrow is considered a good lawyer and no doubt will make a splendid judge. File Articles.

Following the late primary election, in a public statement, I expressed my gratitude to my party for the Republican nomination for the high office of Sheriff. All the support I received in that primary is appreciated more than I can tell, and the support I shall receive at the final election, Nov. 8th, next, will be duly appreciated and in return for same, it will be my purpose to make the county a good official, without regard to politics. As the Republican nominee, I am entitled to the full support of my party, without regard to how the members of my party voted in the primary, either for or against me. I want and will appreciate the votes of those who did not vote for me in the primary just as I will those who supported me, notwithstanding some reports that are being circulated to the contrary. Before the primary, I promised the people in the event of my nomination and election as Sheriff, I would appoint good, honest and capable men for my deputies, and that promise I shall keep, no matter what you may hear told between now and the election. These deputies will be required to perform every duty as the law directs and if they fail they will be dismissed by me. I have also promised that deputies would be appointed in all localities where they are needed to protect the people from being disturbed in their religious worships in churches and school houses, and where such deputies are asked for by the people. This promise will be kept by me when I become Sheriff. The people will have a chance to pay their taxes each year at the Court House or out in the precincts nearest them, where a deputy will have meetings for this purpose. Again thanking those who have supported me in the past, and all those who will at the coming election including any good Democrat who is my friend, or who believes I will make a good official, I beg to remain, your most humble servant and friend.
