Chief Justice Ira B. Jones Is being
exploited in the Anybody to beat
Blease" class; but the proposition Is
hardly worth discussing until 1t Is
known whether the chief justice will
permit the use of his name. The man
who beats Blease will have a pretty
good claim on the next vacant senator
ship, it is true; but then the chief JUS
ticeship is a right snug berth.

Roads In Texas.-The farmers in
Texas are helping along the good roads
movement by the organization of Split
Log Drag clubs. In the county OF
Cooke there are eleven such clubs and
the county commissioners are furnish
ing every club with a drag free of
charge, to show the farmers that their
efforts to improve the roads are appre-
ciated The territory covered by each
club is generally about six miles. The
membership is made up OF farmers
living along the road and the dues are
so cents a month. All the money taken
i'm is used for defraying the expenses
of dragging the road at such times as
repairs are needed. The business men
in the towns and villages are helping
out the farmers by enrolling them
selves as members and paying the reg
ular monthly assessment into the club
treasury.

which that prosperity had been attain
ed and biding their time, the same folks
who formerly fattened off the labors
of the cotton producers are renewing
their efforts to recover what was lost.
The old battle is on again. Cotton
producers do not fully realize it yet.
They may not see it until they are back
where they were in 1892 and 1898, and
then of course, they will have to re-
new the old fight If they will only
get busy now, however, they will not
only be able to hold their own; but will
be able to go forward instead Of back
ward. The thing is to begin organiza-
ton at once.

Chesterfield Court House. Va, Au-
gust 31.-Henry Clay Beattie. Jr.,
indicted for the murder of his wife,
sobbed like q child today when his
grayhaired father in a low, tremu-
lous voice, told of the domestic fe-
licity of his son and the slain woman,
Louise Owen Beattie. 1t was the first
time that the stoical calm of the pris-
oner's countenance had given way
during the trial The testimony of
the father in behalf of his son came
as the dramatic close of long days
battle by the defense against the evil
dence heaped up by the prosecution.
Tomorrow the accused himself will
go on the stand and the defense Will
rest it's case.
Battering constantly against the
testimony of Paul Beattie, cousin of
the prisoner. as to the purchase of
the gun, his delivery of 1t to Henry
and his subsequent conversations
with the accused, the defense intro
duced several witnesses to cast doubt
upon the veracity of Paul. 1t en-
phasiZed that point when it produced
David D. Beattie, Paurs grandfather
and the uncle of Henry who testified
that Paurs character was not good.
1t was another intense period in the
trial. for with apparent regret the
aged man told of his grandsons
shortcomings.
The most surprising refutation of
the day against Paul's testimony
came when Ernest II. Neblitt, super
intendent of a paper-making plant,
said that on Sunday. July 16, he saw
Paul Beattie on the bridge where he
worked handling a single-barreled
shot gun. Paul had maintained ever
since the coroner'S inquest that he
disposed of the shot gun the same
day he bought it, Saturday July Is,
by giving ii to Henry. Subsequently
the defense brought many witnesses
to tell of Mr.. Neblitt's good character
and brought others to attack Pauis
veracity.
f. H. Lewis, an employe of the
Peattie store in South Richmond.
declared that people spoke of Paul
Beattie las the biggest liar in town. y
Henry Clay Beattie, Sr., father OF
the accused. was interrogated for an
hour just before court adjourned for
the day AS he stepped to the Wit
ness stand the prisoners face flushed.
The white haired man, his face deep
~ wrinkled and pale, spoke I'm a
voice scarcely above n whisper.
Counsel leaned forward over the
bench to listen to him. He talked
with great effort repressing an ever
recurrent emotion. He told OF his
children. how Henry in his infancy
had been neglected because twins
came into the family during his boy
hood and described how on this ac-
count and the death of his own wife.
he had grown closely attached to his
son. He described the strong love
that had existed between Henry and
his Inflated wife. testifying that he
himself grew to love his daughter-in-
law as one of his own children.
when her baby was born, SAID
Peattie. speaking of the dead woman
"it was like starting life over for me
to see the grandchild. 1t drew US all
together very much.

would you know him again ifyou

denburg.
YES"
What kind Of hair did he have?"
SANDY beard. I did not notice his
hair.
ANY one with you when the man
with the gun passed."
"Yes, but I don't know his name ?"
"Was the man with the gun a
stranger? Did you ever see him be-
fore?"
"Once in Richmond a year ago at
the police station wher 1 went to
identify some stolen brasses."
Holland was then excused.
The prosecution today placed on
the stand fourteen witnesses. nearly
all of whom were county detectives,
to controvert the testimony of Alex
ander Robertson as to the presence or
more than one blood spot on the Mid
lothian turnpike where Mrs. Beattie
was killed.
The state had contended that the
big blood spot where the murder oc-
Cured was not caused by blood drip
ping from the machine in which
Beattie alleged his wife was seated
when shot, declaring that no blood
whatever could have oozed through
the bottom Of the car and the grease
drip pan beneath. Concentrating at
tention on the single large spot OF
blood, the commonwealth intended to
show that the woman was murdered
in a different manner from that de-
scribed by the prisoner.
Paul Beattie, who was placed on
the stand again today by the defense.
admitted that he had had a conversa-
ton with G. w. Booth concerning
the murder, but he denied that he
told Booth that he did not think his
cousin Henry killed his wife. In pre-
yious testimony Paul denied that he
had any conversation with Mr.. Booth.
He explained that he did not know
the man by name but in business. Mr.
Booth was present when Paul testi-
fled and was introduced by the de-
fense. He testified Paul told him he
did not think Henry killed his wife.
