AN INIPOIsTA MI MATTER.

The systematic holding Of cotton is
a very important matter with the
Southern farmer to-day, but there are
some very important things to be
considered in connection with the
holding Of the crop. For instance,
where and how are you holding it?
a gentleman has called our atten-
Vion to the fact that every year some
cotton is held. but no care given to
the matter Of protection. Only day'
or two ago he had noted some cotton
piled up carelcSsly the bales lying
Ylat on the wet ground.
That IS gross careleSsness, and If
cotton Is allowed to stand in such
manner for any considerable time the
resulting damage will he heavy. Our
informant, 4 man who knows 4 lot
about cotton, stated that it would be
possible to lose, by damage through
such carelessness. all that the far
mer might gain in advanced price.
Hold your cotton, but at the same
timc take care OF it. Keep it clean
and off the wet ground. 1t is folly
40 hold cotton and then let it de-
crease in value by reason OF care

SLEEPS BY THE WIFE HE SLEW.
Bcattie's Funeral Took Place I'm
Richmond Shortly After Sunrise.

Richmond, Va. Nov. 26.-By the
grave Of tho wife whom he murdered
on July 1S, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
was buried in Maury cemetery short
ly after sunrise to-day. There was a
brief service at the residence, attend
ed only by members of the family and
eight friends who served as pallhear-
ers. and then the procession moved
through the silent streets of South
Richmond. Rev. John j. Fix, who
prayed with Beattie just before he
was led into the death chamber at
the penitentiary on Friday morning,
read the service Of the Presbyterian
church, his voice being broken at
times by sobs.
To guard against possible annoy
ance the exact hour of the funeral
was kept secret until midnight last
night, and consequently there were
no morbid crowds around the Beattie
home or cemetery. Two police off,
GERS, In plain clothes. were on duty,
but the hearse and seven carriages
had reached the grave before the city
was astir. When the burial was con-
cluded, Henry Clay Beattie, Sr., left
with Douglas, his son, and Hazel, his
daughter, and two aunts Of the mur-
derer. The aged fathers grief was
intense.
The pallbearers, boyhood friends
Of Beattie, were asked by him to
serve. Several Of them had testified
In his defense at the trial and one
was his best man when he and Louise
Wexford Owen were married exactly
one year from the date he pleaded
not guilty of her murder in court.

West Point Might
 Hold Top Rating
Penn's Defeat and Trouncing Brown Received Boost
 Cadets Stock

With Harvard, Trinity and Pennsyl- vania State scored upon Saturday for the first time this season, and Brown suffering her initial defeat, the West Point Cadets, in the opinion of the football experts, hold the top rating today in the struggle among the east ern colleges.
 As the West Point schedule for the next three weeks is light one, foot- ball followers believe that the cadets will maintain their place, at least un- til the culminatipg game with the Middies.
 Harvard had an unexpectedly easy time defeating Brown. 20 to 6, on Sat- urday, and the same could be said of the Pennsylvania State College, which won from the University of Pennsyl- vania, 22 to 6. "A week ago Brown de- feated the Quakers. 6 to 0.
 Princeton defeated Holy Cross, 20 to o, at Princeton. Brilliant individ- ual running and the successful use of the forward pass and onside kick were the contributing factors in the Princeton victory, but when it came to straight football the Holy Cross eleven more than held their own and gained more ground by rushing than any team which has faced Princeton so far this season has been able to do. .f
