The case of Senator Gore is ai
example of w>at means politician
and disappointed office seekers wil
take to injure a man whom the;
eannot make a tool of.
Bamberg's legislative delegatior
is certainly taking a Drominent par
* ~
in the doings of the legislature
Although we are one of the smalles
counties in the State, the delega
tions from this county have alway:
been prominent members of the gen
eral assembly. In days past it wil
/ be remembered that Hon. H. H. Crun
was chairman of the ways and mean:
committee of the House, while Hon
S. G. Mayfield was chairman of th<
senate judiciary committee and on<
of the leaders in that body. Thesi
gentlemen represented Bamben
just after the county was created, an(
since that time the good record ha:
been kept up.
Chesterfield Man Takes His Life.
Chesterfield, Feb. 22.?Early Fri
day morning this community wa:
shocked "by the news that John G
Rivers had committed suicide b>
drinking carbolic acid.
Mr. Rivers was a member of th<
prominent Rivers family of Chester
field county and by marriage wa:
connected with the Douglass family
On Thursday Mr. Rivers came ii
town and settled several little ac
counts. He appeared to be well anc
do one naa me least mumauuu u
any contemplated self-destruction
Friday morning he arose very early
After arousing his wife and childrei
he said to his wife that she woulc
be in good financial shape and not t<
think hard of him for what he hac
done. Then he told her what he hac
done. She immediately telephonec
for a doctor. Mr. Rivers went into ai
adjoining room and placed himself a:
though he was going to sleep. In spite
of all that could be done in a ver?
little while he was dead.
Mr. Rivers was a splendid citizen
a man of whom every one speaki
very kindly. He was in fine financia
circumstances. The only way to ac
count for his rash deed is ill health
For a long while he has been ver:
despondent at times, and this alon<
accounts for the suicide.
In early life he w*as married t<
Miss Pearl Douglass, who, with fivi
children, survives him.

- England Does Not Contemplate Intervention.
London, February 23.?The Brite
ish Parliament and press have been
n stirred by the recent killing of Will~
liam S. Benton, a British subject, by
if order of the Mexican constitutionk
alist general, Francisco Villa, at
a Juarez, and to-day the question of
y protection for British interests and
e for Englishmen residing in Mexico
was made the subject of earnest consideration,
both in the House of Commons
and in the columns of the newse
papers.
Sir Edward Grey, secretary of
k State for foreign affairs, to-day outlined
the attitude of the British govy
ernment, and the nature of the coms
munications which the British am*
. bassador at Washington has had with
L the government of the United States.
He said that Sir Cecil Spring-Rice
? had told Secretary of State Bryan
that the public opinion of Europe was
- likely to be seriously affected by the
I- action of Gen. Villa, which announce|
rnent was greeted with a cheer.
The foreign secretary assured the
s house that the government was take
ing all possible steps to learn the
~ facts of the Benton case and to secure
full protection for its nationals
r in Mexico, but pointed out that the
Q government was powerless to take
? any measure in the disturbed)
regions. ' j
= Francis Dyke-Acland, Parliament
tary under secretary for' foreign at-1
- fairs, made an earlier statement in)
i which he said: "The pacification of
s Mexico is an object we earnestly
1 desire to see accomplished, but it
y is impossible to effect it by British intervention.
We do not intend to
make any attempt of that character,
1 which would be both futile and im~
* politic."
That the British government is
1 concerned over the reported disappearance
of other Europeans in J
5 Mexico is evidenced, by the fac: that
Sir Edward has communicated with
* the ambassador at Washington re1
specting steps that it might be pos5
sible to take to ascertain,the where'
abouts of these people.
The newspapers, while awaiting
3! the result of the inquiry instituted
" j by tne United States government,
? | practically are united in condemning
* the action of Villa, which some of
5 them regard as nothing less than
murder.

" Bill in Maryland House to Regulate
Dress and Dance.
Annapolis, Md., February 11'.?
Delegate Snowden, of Montgomery
3 county,v introduced to-day in the
~ house of delegates a bill to prohibit
5 the wearing by girls and women of
highheeled shoes and slit skirts and
1 also the dancing of such "immoral
dances as the turkey trot, the bunny
hug, the tango, or the loop the loop."
The bill prescribes that money collected
from fines for violating its provisions
shall be used to "educate girls
1 how to dress decently."

| Radium Extracted From Pitch.
* Denver, Col.. Feb. 19.?The treat*
ment of 150 tons of pitch blended
1 product of a Colorado mine was be3
gun here to-day for the purpose of
3 extracting its radium contents. Hos*
pital and other humanitarian institutions
are to receive the retined
? products. None of the product is to
s be sold, according to instructions re1
ceived here from A. I. DuPont, of
" New Jersey, owner of the ore.
The value of radium content? can7
not be estimated except on the speeu3
lative basis that two tons of uraiuni
metal are the equivalent of 1.05
3 grams of radium bromide of which j
3 there are only two or three in use j
in the United States. On this basis j
the ore would have a value of about!
$360,000. I
; THE CAT AND THE POLICEMAN.
' Traffic Officer Helped Tabby and Her
^ Baby Across Street.
i ???
It was a busy day in Fulton street, i
Lines of trucks were bucking each
jT i
other east and west, when out from
a produce store came a cat and
dangling from her mouth was a kit-1
ten, with which she essayed to cross
the street. Each time she started
she had to turn back because of a
truck, and her efforts soon attracted
a crowd of idlers.
Down from the corner came a poe
liceman. He soon saw what was the
e matter, and while there was nothing
o in the traffic regulations to cover the
l- point it took the bluecoat only a mo
?- ment to decide what to do.
e Going into the street, he raised his
r hands in the way that truckmen have
d learned means "stop." They stopped.
'S The cat, seeing her opportunity, took
d a tirmer hold oil the nape of her
s progeny, and then, holding it high to
e keep even its curled tail out of the
;r mud, she slowly and deliberately
b picked her way across and disappeared
in a cellar.

TO PROVIDE COTTON TEST
APPROPRIATION MADE FOR LEVER'S
BILL.
Work to Follow Will Mean Oreat
Saving to Fanners of the
South.
Washington, Feb. 20.?Representative
Lever is well pleased with that
feature of the agricultural appropriation
bill just reported to the house
from his committee, which provides
in substance the features of a bill introduced
by him on January 19 of
this year to enable the secretary of
agriculture to investigate and determine
the relative spinning values of
cotton as standardized by the government
and for demonstrating the results
of such tests and carrying an
appropriation of'$60,000 for this purpose.
Speaking of this item of the bill,
Mr. Lever said to-day.
"When the appropriation bill for
the agricultural department was under
consideration for 1913 in the
senate, my colleague. Senator Smith,
inserted in it a provision for testing j
the waste, tensile strength and.
bleaching qualities of the different)
grades of cotton as standardized by j
the government and secured a small
appropriation to begin work which
has progressed very satisfactorily in
the department. Senator Smith's
work in this respect is to be most
heartily commended by those acquainted
with the^onditions of the
| cotton trade. My bill, which in ef1
feet, is carried in the annual appro!
priation bill which I have just reported^
seeks, first, to provide suf-:
ficient money to test the tensile
strength, waste and bleaching qualities
of all grades of cotton as standardized
by the government, and at
the same time goes a step further
and provides the authority and the
norpssarv funds for conducting ex-1
perimental demonstrations to the cotton
trade, especially the producer of
the value of this work.
"Uppn inquiry at the department
I ascertained that the present appropriation
for this work was entirely
inadequate for an expeditious completion
of it, and that the present
funds have permitted tests of only
one length of staple, namely, oneinch
upland cotton.
Will liring Tests.
"The appropriation provided in
my bill and inserted by the commit-!
tee in the appropriation bill, would !
permit similar tests on 5-8 inch, 3-4inch.
1-inch and 1 1-2 inch, and
make it possible to demonstrate the
results of these tests in various cotton.centres
of the country. The work
provided in this item will go far toward
determining the most important
elements involved in the determination
of the intrinsic value of the
different grades of cotton, and at the
same time make it possible to bring
this information promptly to the attention
of cotton producers and to
the cotton trade generally.
"The appropriation will enable the
department also to extend this work
to all of ^he standardized grades,
?i nracont n nnrnrvriation
WHCI cao lilt t'lvuvuv z- z X
has permitted this to be done with
respect to only five grades and that
with only 1-inch length staple.
"The time has come when we must
take into account the very important
matters of seeing to it that as far
as possible the farmer should receive
the intrinsic value of his products, j
Farmers Are Losing.
"I have no doubt that the South|
ern farmers are losing anywhere
from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000
on their annual cotton crop, because
j they have not been taught to know,
as these tests and demonstrations
will show, that the difference in the
^ j _ A Uirr 1* I
marked value or low graue auu ui5i; ,
grade cotton is intrinsically audi
comparatively small.
"The work of the department in j
making the tests of l-:w.ch upland
staple should be extended as expeditiously
as possible to all lengths
and to all grades of cotton, and when
the results have been secured they
should not be allowed to be locked
up in Washington, but should be
made available in the most practical
way to the cotton producers in the
country. I am extremely gratified
that the committee, of which I am
chairman, was kind enough to allow
this item to go into the bill.
"These demonstrations must result
inevitably in so arousing the cotton
producers of the several States
that the legislatures thereof will be
forced, as they should be, to provide
officially cotton grades in every cot
ton market within them.
"When the farmer is taught to
know what he is losing in the value
of his low grade cotton and that
such losses can be saved through official
cotton grades, I warrant he will
see to it that such grades are provided."

on the ocean front, below Virginia
Beach. The whale was dead.
