CONGRESS PASSES BILL
Measure Introduced BY Sena-
tor Martin Provides $4,000
for Monument.

In the closing hours Of the Congress
that adjourned on March Jill was
passed authorizing the erection OF a
monument over tho grave of John
Tyler. the tenth President OF United
States. in Hollywood Cemetery at
Richmond Wednesday OF this week
marks the one hundred and twenty
first anniversary of his birth and the
passing Of few weeks more than
the forty ninth anniversary OF his
death. And with the enactment or
the bill into a Law, the only unmarked
grave Of former President vii! be
eonorcd-to the extent OF $4,000. for
that Is the maximum OF the authorized
expenditure. The memory Of but ono
other President. Thomas j Jefferson. has
been SO signally honored by congress.

slab at the head Of Tylers grave, but
Is II can scarcely be accounted monu-
ment. for 1t was erected by the com.
pany that operates the cemetery
While in office President Tyler was
derislvely called the accidental Presi-
dent" by the Wings on account of the
fact that he was the first Vice Presi-
dent ever called upon to assume the
ONCE of Chief Executive. and the cpl
thet seems. far as the accidental
part is concerned. to have followed
him even beyond the grave. a series
OF accidents beset him through life,
and after his death ii has been more
OF an accident than anything else that
his grave has been SO long unmarked
By fitting monument.
It was his wish that he be buried at
his home. Sherwood Forest, In Charles
City county. Va. But the State Of yir-
Einta chose differently, and he was
laid to rest in beautiful Hollywood
Cemetery. near Richmond, in what is
known is the Presidents section It
was tho original plan to bury all of
Ftrginia's i've Presidents in this plot,
but only two-Presidents Tyler ana
Monroe-now lie there. Even then
fate had not finished, and another sac.
cident" deprived him Of the monument
which his position entitled him to.
shortly after his death the State Leg
islature OF Virginia passed resolutions
authorizing the Governor to erect a
suitable monument out OF the State
FUNDS. This, however. owing to finan-
'iai conditions, was never done. And
SO the years rolled by. and the matter
was left unfinished until tho action OF
Congress on the afternoon of March 3

(From painting by Healy)

JOHS ~ LIGR, TENTH PRESIDENT OF
(trom painting by Healy)
In brick vault. five feet under ground
This is covered by a slab Of polished
Virginia marble. eight by four feet,
which in turn supports a large sarco-
phagus in the shape OF a coffin, with pill
lars and dome rising above It, Around
these pillars is an ornamental cast-iron
grating. The intricacy OF the pattern
OF the grating makes 1t almost impos-
sipie TO see inside. where. on brass
plate, now dark with age. is the in
scription.
1t seems strange coincidence that
one Of Pres. dent Tyler's fathers clos
est friends, and a man whom he him
self greatly admired, was Thomas JEFF
ferson the only other President whose
grave has been the object OF memorial
appropriation from Congress.
The final passage Of the bill through
both houses marked the elimination OF
unt1ring work on the part Of the Sen.
ators and Representatives Of Virginia,
as well as others interested in it. Only
once in the past thirty odd years has
a similar bill been passed-in the case
or Jefterson-and for that reason con-
siderable trouble was experienced in
securing favorable considera ton. once
the bill was favorably reported from
the Committee on the Library. To which
IT was referred by both bodies.
1t was first introduced in 1908 by
senator Martin. Of Virginia, but failed
or passage and so died with the end OF
that-tie Sixtieth-Congress Again,
IN 1909, the late Senator Daniel intro
duced the same bill for Senator Martin.
This time it was referred to the Com.
mittee on the Library. where 1t re-
NAMED unconsidcred until late in the
present session. Then came Senator
Swanson to fill the uneNpired term OF
Senator Daniel. lie took Senator DAN
iels place ON the Committee on tho
Library, and at the first meeting he at.
tended had the bill favorably consid-
cred. But he went even farther than
that. and on the sanle day on which 1t
was reported by tho committee 1t was
passed unanimously in the Senate
The bill then went to tho House,

CANDIDATES MAY VISIT US.
More Than Likely that Brown and
Russell Will Speak Here.

While no definite date has been
named, 1t is stated on good authority
that Hon. Pope Brown, candidate for
governor, will visit Brunswick in the
near future and address the people
OF this city and county on the politi-
cal issues of the day. Mr.. Brown has
a number of warm supporters here
and his coming will be looked forward
to with a great deal of interest.
Friends of Judge Richard b. Rus
sell have written him, asking for a
date and it is likely that he, too, will
pay visit to this section. These
are the two only announced candidates
in the race so far, but others are sure
to follow
The local friends of former Cover.
nor Jos. NJ Brown are hoping that he
will consent to run and they are posi-
tive in their statement that he will
win hands down. They say he will
have no trouble IN carrying the state,
but, of course all of this is mere
conjecture and no one knows just how
the gubernatorial situation will end.

EVIDENCE AGAINST BEATTIE
NOW SAID TO BE COMPLETE
Young Virginian Sure to Land In EIec.
trio Chair

Richmond, a, Aug. 12.-The last
link in the circumstantial chain
against Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.. has
been forged, according to two physi.
clans found to have professional
knowledge of the nature of the wound
which brought to her death the wife
of the prisoner.
These two physicians called into
the Beattie house, Immediately after
beattie brought his dead wife home in
MS automobile, examined the fatal
wound in her face and found there
was not a spot OF gun powder on the
nesh. but that inside of the gaping
wound there were both gun powder
stains and the wadding from the
cartridge.
These two medical witnesses leave
no room for doubt that the shotgun
was pressed hard against the face
OF the wife and exploded. Had the
weapon been leveled at a distance
OF foot or more the face would have
borne some traces of the powder. AS
1t IS the wound is found to be clean
on the exterior, but loaded with
powder grains and wadding inside.
. 1t is said that these two physicians
would establish the case esagainst young

Atlanta, Aug. 12.-The senate to-

The former law in regard to this mat
ter has been severely criticised by
both the newspapers and the railroads.
They argued that a barter between

WHO CAN VOTE
IN THE PRIMARY
SPECULATION AS TO QUALJFIcA.
TION OF oTERS IN PRIMARY
FOR GOVERNOR.

An interesting question is agitating
the minds of many of the best lawyers
in Georgia, and that question con-
Germs the qualifications of voters who
may desire to vote in the primary
election at which Governor Smiths
successor will be chosen, provided
the primary is not held until after
January 1.
The law appears to be very clear
on the subject of special elections
that may be held during the same
year the regular election is held. or
during the. succeeding year, but in
this instance II the gubernatorial pri-
mary is held in January OF February
1t will be the second year after the
general election.
Prominent attorneys agree FIAT
there is nothing ambiguous about the
poll tax requirements. Those who
may vote are those who have paid
all taxes due at least six months be-
fore the date of the election, except
when the election is held within six
months from the expiration of the
time fixed by law for the payment of
taxes.
The time fixed BY law for the pay
ment of taxes is between October 1
and December 20. If the primary
election is held during January or
February of next years. persons, who
have paid the 1910 tax six months
before the date of the primary will be
qualified to vote, as far as the tax
requirements are concerned, as six
months before the primary date the
1911 tax would not be due.
But the registrationaquestion is the
one which has some of the lawyers
wool-gathered. Representative Law
renee of Chatham county, stated that
he hadn't had time to look up the
law, but he heard the question dis
cussed in Atlanta, and there seemed
to be a probability that the general
assembly may be called upon to
amend the registration law.

T|PP|NS BILL
/. SUPPORTERS TO
|. MAKE NEW MOVE
HAVE THE RULES COMMITTEE IN
A HOLE AND WILL
BLOCK LEGISLATION.
viii Hold Up Everything Until the
Rules Committee Givss the Pr
posed Measure a Place on the Cal
en6ar.

Atlanta, Aug. 12.-After breaking
up the filibuster against the Tippins
bill last week, prohibitionists of the
house late this morning began a move
ment of their own not merely to kill
other legislation, but to mold all other
matters in allegiance until the rules
committee is forced to give the Tip
pins anti-near bill bill a place on the
calendar.
Although overruled by the rules
committee the prohibitionists have
demonstrated that they can and will
block all other legislation until their
bill is given a chance and it is I'D TO
the rules committee to say whether
or not any more legislation is to be
enacted by the house at this session.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
reapportionment bill was not tabled,
the house adjourned without action on
It. as the house voted not to adjourn
by vote of 1O4 to 49, The adjourn
ment, hour was reached automatically
to reconvene Monday.
There is no doubt of the fact that
the Tippins bill advocates have the
whip handle and If they can get up
three-fourths of the members to vote
their way, 1t is still possible that the
Dill may come up Monday and might
get through In time to go to the sen.
ate. The rules committee will not
report It and it can only come up
now by a three-fourths vote of the
mouse, but its followers can stop all
other legislation.

four Thursdays. The white house has
