RICHMOND PAPER
SOWING Seed
OF DISCoRD OVER THE STATE
ABOUT HOME TOWN.
BUILD UP THE CITY
And Do Not Tear 1t DoWn-Attitude
of the Press.

The following appeared in one Of
the Richmond papers recently and is
being copied over the state. 1t is the
publication Of articles Of this kind
that is direct injury to the city.
The Palladium is for every interest
that tends to build up our city, and
will encourage all honorable methods
Of bringing factories and families
here, and if the efforts put forth by
certain people and concerns do not
meet with approval right away, it IS
no reason why the town or the people
are slow. Following is the article we
refer to:
"The land association which was
to boom Richmond. and Of which the
Rev. Otho Williams, Of New Castle,
was the head. seems to have died out
for good, and all that can be learned
of the matter IS that it is resting. This
IS interpreted TO mean that the boom,
as far as practical results are con-
cerned, is dead, and that the city IS
to wait a few years before ii can ex-
perience the beneficial results Of a
scheme that made New Castle quite
a city
Mr. Williams, the promoter Of the
plan, is now in New Mexico, and it
IS not known when he will return
Of the stock which he was to dis
pose Of, not dollars worth was
taken. The project seemed a little
too big for the conservatism of the
business men and from the start met
with little encouragement.
The New Castle Courier, in COM
menting on the article from the Rich
mond paper, says:
"After desperate effort to inject
some new life into Richmond, Otho
Williams, run down, worn out and
disguised, has gone to the southwest
to recover his health -
How does the above sound to men
who have factories to build and
money to invest?
After reading the extract from the
Richmond paper they would certainly
conclude that Richmond was a dead
one.
Local papers can do whole lot in
keeping business away from this
city.

STATE RESTS ITS CASE
And the Defense Takes Up Rebuttal
Large Attendance All
Day.
Thursday Afternoon.


The Bertram case was continued
with Mrs. Hill on the stand. The
cross-examination proved her to be
good witness, for she withstood the
cross-firing of Attorney johnson with
very little visible effect. She left
the witness stand about $50 after
being on the stand since court con
veaed in the morning.
The next witness was Mayor VIM.
W. Zimmerman. He told his story
Of the case 70 the court and what he
had TO do with it. On cross-examina-
tion the witness and attorney for the
defense, Henry Z. Johnson, had tilt
that required the presence Of the
sheriff to cuell. II was on a question
as to whether DR.. Zimmerman had not
told Mr.. Johnson things in private
that he denied in public Zimmerman
said he didn't and Johnson said he
did, and they had It back and forth
until the atmosphere grew oppressive.
The next witness was Mrs. Hanley,
an aunt Of Mrs. Hills. She was
great witness, inasmuch as she pro-
vided considerable amusement for the
auditors by her manner of answering
the questions and her curt replies to
inte1rogatories.

A NEW ORDER FOR VETS
The System Will Cost From $40,
600 to $4,000, 900.

Washington, D. c., March 1S.-
President Roosevelt's administration
relieved congress of the service pen
sion bugaboo by putting into effect a
service pension Pan of its own, with
out recourse to additional legislation.
An order issued by Pension Commits
sioner Ware and signed by Secretary
Of the Interior Hitchcock, establishes
a system whose cost is estimated be-
tween S1O,O00.000 and $15,000,000

tanning Just what the total viii be-
The President has high regard for the
old soldiers. Recently he appointed
General John C. Black. head of the
Grand Army, President of the Civil
Service Commission, and later made
"Corporal" Tanner Register Of Wills
Of the District Of Columbia.
The order issued puts into opera
ton much the same provisions as the
Sullowav service pension bill carries.
Under this bill and the order of the
Commissioner age and service are
the only requisites to a veterans OBJ
tanning a pension. IF he is 62 years
Of age and can prove his service, he

upward scale A veteran who is 65
years old is to be regarded as more
than one-half incapacitated and will
get So month: at 6S his pension will
be increased to so, and at 20 years to
S12. The legislative committee of the
Grand Army has been very insistent
upon the passage of some service pen
sion bill. and the order issued today
was the Administration IS compromise
with that organization.
Under the act of June 27, 1890, the
Pension Bureau IS directed to regard
any veteran whose service is sufficient
TO entitle him TO a pension as inca
pacitated If he be Is years old. I'm
der this law, on his application. he
can be placed on the roll at $12 a
month. The argument by which the
Administration has arrived at the
new pension plan is that if a depart
ment has the power to make ruling
that a man is totally incapacitated at

A RECORD
Williamsburg Girl Neither Tardy Nor
Absent in Nine Years.

Stella Roberts Of Williamsburg,
this county, has attended school for
the past nine years and in all that
time she was neither tardy nor alb
sent, and, strange to say, she accom-
plished years work in every year.
She spent eight years in the graded
schools and one year in high school.
This IS certainly a record that Miss
Roberts should be proud Of, as there
is not parallel case in the country
and we doubt if there be one in the
state. - a-ss-.sg.
