IS BEATTIE TO TESTIFY
ON STAND IN TRIAL
Lawyers May Decline to Put
Him Up

Richmond. Aug. 25.-Eyerywhere one
hears the question: VIII Beattie take
the stand in his own behalf? The
answer is a secret locked in the
breasts Of his own lawyers. Perhaps
they themselves could not say today,
for much, doubtless. will depend upon
developments.
As a general proposition it is a
risky thing to let a prisouC" testify
or undertake to testify-in his own
behalf However good a man he may
be, he is not likely to be keen-witiad
enough to cope with the lawyers for
the prosecution.
To Judge by the prisoners demean-
or he is cool-headed enough to meet
any situation, though his self-conf-
dence may vanish at any minute. And,
moreover, there is a vast difference
between looking confident and with
standing the DOmDardment OF grill
ling examination at the hands of
shrewd lawyers.
In the McCue case the prisoner did
not take the stand. He itched to do
so, but his lawyers were afraid TO
trust him. And doubtless they were
right
The law allows an accused to tes-
tify in his own behalf but does not
compel him to do SO. Furthermore,
the court instructs the jury that the
failure of the prisoner to testify shall
not be counted against him, but all
the same, the triers are very apt 20
notice the fact and to do their own
thinking.

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 25.-There is a
Georgia end to the row that the ma
tional capital is raising over the plan
to present BeuIah Binford the girl
around which the Beattie murder IN
Virginia revolves, as a moving picture
heroine.
Arthur Lucas is the man who has
stirred up Washington by the an,
nouncement that the Binford girl
would be taken to that city to do her
moving picture posing.
Mr.. Lucas. who is now connected
with the Washington Film Exchange
offered the most tempting contract o
the girl in Jail in Richmond and land
ed her for show purposes.
She win begin her engagement just
as soon as the Beattie trial has been
concluded, it being agreed, if neces-
sary. that those who have her under
contract will furnish bail for her fur

A CANDIDATE IN EVERY BUSH
IN The new Third DISTRICT
Almost Every County in the District to Have Candidate
and Some Two or ThFee-ThOSG Mentioned

In Americas as throughout the en-
tire Third district, as newly consti-
tuted, greatest interest is manifested
in the approaching congressional cam
paign, and nearly every county of the
opportioned fifteen has its "favorite
son" to offer; some of them, like Did
Sumter, presenting several sons will
ing to wear the congressional ermine
to be laid down two years hence by
Congressman Hughes.
Commenting upon the situation, the
Dawson News suggests the following
we'll known citizens as possible con-
grcssiOnal candidate.
Now that the legislature has passed
the redistribution bill and transferred
Terrell, Randolph, Quitman, Clay and
Turner counties from the Second to
the Third district, which really is the
new district and is without a congress-
man, there is much speculation among
both the people and politicians as to
the probable candidates in the primary
to be held next year.
The new district is composed of
fifteen counties, as follows Ben Hill,
Turner, Crisp, Dooly, Macon, Taylor,
Schley, Sumter, Lee, Terrell, Ran
doIph, Clay, Quitman, Stewart and
Webster.
1t has a population of 204,51O, and
each of the counties will have two
votes in the convention except Sumter,
which will have four.
That there will be no dearth of
candidates for the honor is already ap-
parent and no man is going to have
easy sailing. In fact, the man who
finally plucks the plum is going to re-
aIize that he has had the fight of mis-
life and will be mighty tired when the
last gun has been fired, the battle IS
over and the others have retired from
the scene of conflict.
Among the multitude mentioned ara
prominent citizens Of a majority of the |
counties in the district, and some Of |
the counties that are none too modest |
may offer three or four of their dis |
sons to the voters to choose |
from.
Here in Terrell county the friends |
of Hon. John R. Mercer, the big farm
er and man of varied and extensive
business interests, assert positively |
that he will be in the race, and it is
known that Hon. NJ. J. Yoemans, the
well-known and popular lawyer of
Dawson, and former chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, is not ayerse to representing the
people at Washington.
Hon. J. A. Laing, who has ably di8-I
charged the duties of the Office of Sol
licitor-General of the Pataula circuit
twelve years and is one Of the most
highly esteemed men of this section,
Is also Delng urged by friends to be- |
come a candidate.
another prospective candidate from
one Of the counties transferred from
the Second district is E. B. Shaw, ofl
Clay, present state senator from this
district.
Mr.. Shaw has for some time been
prominent in the politics of this sec
ton, and has waged a number of sue
cessful campaigns. He is a live wire,
land should he get in the race, as he
will in all probability do, he will add
no little to the interest of the cam
Ipaign.
