His face was wreathed in smiles,and apparently he was the center of interest to the little band of men seated on the bench with him. He was engaged in animated conversction. Was he talking politics? No, he has political views, and, like his religion, they are all right, but he is not a harping politician. On this occasion he was only telling his companions about the bumper corn coor he expects to harvest, the acres oi peanuts he has planted for his hogs Death of Rev. S. T. Russell. ' j After a long and painful illness ?; Rev > T Russell died at his home at .: Bloom ins: vale on the 2d inst. aped 69 years, 11 months and 27 days. , I Mr Russell was a Baptist minister and a member of Bloomingvale Bap' tist church. A pall of sadness fell upon our hearts when the news went forth of his death. It can truly be said of" ' him, his was a well earned rest. He | j lived for others, bearing their bur[ dens, scattering sunshine along his i" way. For him to live was Christ, to die was gain. He lived close to Jesus , and pointed others to Him. His face was an inspiration, his presence a1 benediction, his manner a stimulus; 1 to others to emulate his worthy ex^ ample.

I ' In 1879 he moved from Berkeley county to Williamsburg, vjhere he ' lived until his death. Surviving him ' are his wife, two daughters and fivie | sons. With these,in mourning their loss, join a host of relatives, pastor, church and community. He was laid to rest Saturday, 3d inst.at Bloomingvale Baptist church.

Editor County Record: From time to time we read in the public prints of unpleasant episodes and disgraceful scenes which mark and mar many county campaign meetings throughout our State. This is the result of forcing State political issues into county politics. This is not as it should be and our best citizenship condemns such procedure. State politics should not be made an issue in our county campaign and any candidate who bases his candidacy on these issues and not j on his qualifications to fill the office and his own home record should be : dismissed tn the first primary, i In view of the conditions outlined 1 we make request of our county chairman that he call a meeting of! all the candidates of our county, on , or before the morning of the 14th : and that all candidates be requested to pledge themselves to answer no 1 questions on the stump as to State I political issues.

"Bald Jack" Rose, the gambler, ujx?n whose testimony was chiefly based the indictment of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker on the charge of instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, today furnished District Attorney Whitman with a written statement, disclosing in detail the history of hi> relations with Becker <i> one m i m_- pi n ii i- 11111\ \ miv^ graft collectors. Rose in his "confession,''as the District attorney terms it, gives a complete tahle of hisi'eollections from gamblers which he says he turned over to Becker. These collections,according to the "confession,'' averaged from 812,(KK) to 81">,lMM) a month, and came from a dozen or inure gambling houses. The names of about t*n of them Rose gave to the District Attorney. Becker, the se'f-acciised gambler wrote, was continually hounding him for more money, telling him that "the BuncJU'down there 'isn't getting enough." Rose's statement was several In UK-mil words long. The gambler ha<l Ik'oii working on it in his cell over since, on the promise of leniency, District Attorney .Whitman got him a week ago'to make his first confession. Decker's method of bringingjthe gamblers to terms was to raid them first, Hose -aid. This was the officers way, he explained, of "getting acquainted." After the raid he would offer to "fix" the case liefore the grand jury, Hose charged, provided the unfortunate gambler would "come across."

Rose said he then i>eeame a "stool pigeon" for Becker in his raiding activities and later his collector. Rose substantiated all that Rosen- J thai had charged as to Becker being his partner in the Rosenthal gam-: bling house. He asserted that Becker got 32 1-2 per cent, of the I play,20 per cent on his own account and one-half of Rose's share, which j was 2"> per cent. In addition to Rose's statement j the district attorney, it was learn- ; ed tonight, obtained telephonic rec-1 ords substantiating Rose's statement j that a few minutes after the murder i of Rosenthal Rose called Becker onj the telephone and asked him to j come down town at once and that, lw> MK.mnniMful Kv u-ith uv vwiuniuiiiviiivvi ivn m iui Becker several times that day, Becker saw newspaper men in his! cell today when he was asked if it; was true that the "system" was collecting a 3oO,0(X) fund to defend him.
