fabric but it will not receive calors
from the coloring process tha5 are
permanent as wool does, henco the
light, sun, rain, ETC., fade it quickly,
causing the material to soil and look
shabby very soon.
The mixture fax-the shearings
from the face of good clothes and
of Noils-combings from blankets snd
other cloths-is also fraud.
The Oleomargarine Bill that is now
a law in operation injured the consum-
ers in using oleomargarine, only when
they we're deceived in thinking it but
ter and paying butter prices for it.
This Shoddy Bill aims at a far
greater wrong for the receptions
above noted in clothing and other
wooden CD fabrics is simply appalling,
when one considers the extent of it.
The purchaser is not only defrauded
in money price but the fraud is a con-
tinuous injury from the first day of its
use until the stuff is worn out.
The aim of the movers in this bill IS
to have the manufacturers and sellers
of all wooden or part wooden goods so
mark them and present them for sale,
that no person shall be deceived as to
the mixture Of other material with
the wooden fabrics. 1t is not the purz
pose to prevent people from manufac-
turing, selling or weaving any kind of
wooden mixed or shoddy goods at any
price they please but it is the purpose
to prevent them from deceiving or
being defrauded in such goods.
Now is the time for Congressional
candidates to say to the people wheth-
er, if elected they will support and
vote for such a bill. 1t is a very i'm
portant question to the people and it
is the right of every voter-because
every one is concerned in ito pub
licly ask the candidate for Congress
in his district to declare whether he
will support such a measure or not.
The bill will be before the short ses-
sion this winter and pushed to a vote
and very likely passed, but if it fails
it will be renewed again in the Con-
gress that is to be elected in Novem-
Der.
It is important that candidates for
the United States Senate be called out
to answer ~squarely as to whether they
will advocate and work for such a bill
because the Senate has often smashed
measures that emanate from the peo-
pie and so greatly concerned them as
this one does now.

Such stuff is comparatively rotten and

Reports being received daily from
every section of the State give the
strongest proof that there is a grow
ing sentiment in every county toward
the improvement of the public schools.
The educational associations and as
semblies on every occasion have en-
phasized three principles and have
worked toward these three ends, be-
lieving that the accomplishment of
these will lead to other needed re-
forms.

Mrs. Heard also writes in regard to her
son Carl:
My sons ears had been affect

months old. He seemed to have
risings in his head. He would be
very fretful for several days, then
his ears would run profusely what
appeared to be corruption. The
last year I thought he had almost
lost his hearing and had a local ply
sician treating him for about six
weeks. He pronounced him well
and for a few weeks he was not
troubled, but since that time the

Question to Be Decided by Judge.
Minor in the Law and
Equity Court,

Argument in the suit OF James Bell
wood against John s. Short, for the . pur-
pose of clearing UP a title TO tlana IN III
Chesterfield, embracing Drewryss 5iliit,
was heard in chambers by Judge Minor,
of tho Law and Equity Court, yesterday
afternoon, and will pc continued 1l n
morning at II o'clock
Counsel for the defendants embrace Mr.
James Parker, who was associate coun-
sci in the Admiral Schlcy case. he Is
an eminent lawyer and is known all over
the country. His home is at Perth Am
boy. n. r. With him is Colonel 10. Lane
Stern and on the other. side. is Mr.. NVn.
L. Royall who was in the beginning as.
ISOLATED with MIR. Short in the railroad
business.
The suit is an interesting one and
originated with the beginning of the Rich
mond and Petersburg Electrical Railway
scheme, in 1899. The promoters Of that
scheme were: Messrs. Corbin Warwick,
VIM. T.. Royal, Of Richmond, and John
Il. Short, of New York. Mr.. Bellwood,
the plaintiff in the case owned a lot OF
land in Chesterfield county, adjoining the
Drewrys Bluff property. The proposes
road was to- run through this property.
and it was a part of the plans of the pro-
motors to recover the property of Drew
rvs Bluff for park, to be Transformed
into a popular resort, with the hope Of
securing a large patronage from both
Richmond and Petersburg. At the in
stance of the promoters Mr.. Bcllwood
purchased this property with tho under
standing that it was to be taken up by
tho railroad people. The price was $500,
to be paid $1,000 in cash and tho re-
nainder in notes to run at intervals for
several years. The first installment was
paid by Mr.. Bellwood for the railroad
people, the money having Eeen advanced
by Mr. Ferdinand Lynch, q relative or
Mr.. Shorts The purchase was made In
the name Of Mr.. Bellwocd, the bill on fife
states and he was not to release 1t until
the full amount had been paid.
When it became apparent that the
original promoters could not carry on tho
scheme. and the charter and property
were transferred, to Judge j. I. Haner,
representing the present owners, the
question was raised as to the title of the
Drewry's Bluff property, and that is the
question that Judge Minor is now asked
to solve.
1t will take several weeks close study
TO reach a decision, but argument Will
close to-day.
