TROUBLE oNlsrAMus GROWING

Engineer Wallace quit his
Panama Canal job and received a
dark brown roast from Secretary
Taft for his conduct, and now Mr..
Shontz is reported to be weary of
his job. He is said to be disguised
over the way Congress treated his
demand for $4,000, 900. He still
hangs on to his job as president of
a railroad. The canal would be
built more promptly and economi-
cally if the work were let by con-
tract to the lowest bidder, as rail
road construction work is. Then
the work would be done by men
who understand their business,
and it would not be hindered or
delayed by the slow and exaspera-
ting red tape methods of the
Government. The work would be
subject to Government specifica-
tions and inspection, and would
be completed in much less time
than the Government will ever
complete it.

Mr.. wHEArLEY FOR CONGRESS

In the Times Recorder this morn
ing appears the formal announce
ment of Hon. Crawford Wheatley,
of Sumter, for Congress as the
representative of the Third district.
Mr.. Wheatley's determination to
enter the race will receive the
hearty endorsementof his hosG of
friends in Sumter and in other
counties of the Third district as
well who, while long hoping that
such opportunity to honor him
thusly would be afforded, are
gratifed that he has finally placed
his candidacy in their hands. Mr..
Wheatley requires no introduction
to the people of the district, where
he has always lived and where his
family name has for a half century
been the synonym of honor honesty
worth and integrity. As the re-
preventative of the Thirteenth
district in the State Senate he oc-
cupies place in the front ranks of
Georgia's lawmakers, and no mem
Der has ever before made such a
splendid record in so short a time.
In his announcement for the higher
honor he now seeks Mr.. WheatleY
clearly defines his position upon
all questions of vital and political
importance affecting the public
veal and leaves no doubt as to
where he stands. As an able, in
telligent, energetic and fearless
young democrat the Times Recor-
der warmly commends his candi-
dacy to the voters of the Third
district and presents him as a man
entirely worthy Of their confidence
and trust; one whose best efforts
will ever be exerted in behalf of
the people of his district in par
ticular and of Georgia and demo
crazy as well.

SOME DEATHS.

On Wednesday of last week Mrs.
John Warden, near Wicomico Church.
departed this life for the great here
after.
After many months-which measured
into years-of suffering from consump-
ton death, on Friday afternoon last,
released the spirit of Mrs. Randolph
S. Brent, wife of Northumberland S
popular and faithful Commissioner of
the Revenue. The deceased was one of
several attractive daughters of the
late Major DeShields, of Northumber-
land, leaving several of these sisters
and a brother, besides husband and
children, to lament her departure. Mason
Brent, former student of Chesapeake
Academy, Irvington, and expected to
take his degree this year at Randolph
Macon, is the oldest child, and was at
his mothers side when she expired.
Interment was in the old DeShields
burying ground, near Heathsville, amid
multitude of sorrowing friends. Mrs.
Brent was truly a good woman, hers a
Christian life, and all who knew her
loved her for her goodness. She leaves
to her children a priceless heritage and
to her community pattern worth the
copying, a life of purity that makes the
lily itself impotent to excel. -

SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES.

AT meeting of the headquarters
committee of the Anti-Saloon League.
held in Richmond recently, with the
Rev. j. w. Mitchell presiding, it was
decided to codify all the existing LIQUOR
laws of the State and bind them into
one book for use of the temperance
workers.
Accomac and Northampton counties
are in the midst of their annual Anti
Saloon League conventions this week.
Much enthusiasmp prevails on the Eastern
Shore, the most prominent men espous-
ing the temperance cause. Among
these is Hon. Ohio Mears candidate for
Congress. For years this gentleman
has refused all offers of the "wet' pee
pie to defend them and for some years
has given his time and talents to the
temperance cause.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

WHEREAS, An Almighty Providence,
in the exercise of its divine power, has
deemedit proper to remove from among
us our beloved co-worker, friend and
president, Rev. j. M. Anderson, who had
been the faithful and efficient president
of the Anti-Saloon League of White
Stone District, and
WHEREAS, This League has suffered
in his death an irreparable loss and
been deprived of one of its most useful
and conscientious members,
Be it resolved, That we feel with
profound regret and great sense of
personal loss the death of Bro. Ander-
son, whose efforts for temperance were
characterized by no faint of bitterness
and his sympathetic nature was free
from harshness and hate.
His long and useful career shines
forth as an example of Christlike piety
and upright citizenship, and although we
bow in humble submission to this mani
festation of the divine will, we never
theless feel deeply the separation from
NhS VIM iOh many years was dtl upTlgnI,

fairness and satisfaction over our meet
ings. He always discharged every
duty imposed and trust encumbent upon
him with conspicuous ability and unfiinch-
ing integrity, and yet withal by his
amiable manner and kindness of heart
he endeared himself to all with whom
he came in contact, making us now the
more deeply feel the great loss occasioned
by his death.
Be it further resolved, That the
League hereby tender to his family our
sincere sympathy in this great bereave-
ment; and whereas, the League desires
to give public expression to the esteem
and regard which it cherished for the
memory of the deceased,
Be it further resolved, That these
resolutions be spread on the minutes of
this League, published in the VIRGINIA
CITIZEN and copy be sent to the
family of the deceased.

Congressman Jones spoke Monday at

friends, puts hatgentleman to hustling,
now that he has opposition. He must
miss many roll calls and be absent from
duty in Congress, or else he must let his
candidacy 60 by default. The primary
could well have been put off until after
Congress adjourned, but Mr.. Jones'
friends were in hurry.
