According to the recent report of the
Battle Abbey committee, plans are now
complete for Confederate memorial
building in Richmond, to cost about $780,,
600. The building, il is explained, will
probably be erected within the next year,
and at the completion of this beautiful
memorial it is planned TO have the reunion
of 1913 at Richmond and to dedicate the
building at that meeting. The report
further sets forth that the deed for the site
of Battle Abbey, which consists OF thai
portion OF the Soldiers Home grounds
along Stuart avenue and KenSington
street, has been received. Competitive
designs were submitted by 60 architects,
the plans of Bizzell & Sinkler, of Phila-
delphia, being accepted. The building
is to be of dignified monumental charac-
ter, and it will be fireproof throughout
The treasurer's report shows that the re-
quired amount is already more than raised,
there being balance on hand April 80,
1911, of $2l5, 560.49. 1t is the plan Of the
committee to have removed to the building
as many exhibits and relics as possible
by the time of the opening.

An Elk County Mystery.

One of the most notorious muir
dererS known to the United States
lived in Elk county, Pennsylvania, about
the middle of the last century. His crimes
were innumerable, and were not all COM
mitted within the bounds of Pennsylvania.
So picturesque. however, is the mans
character that the fact that he lived in
Elk county entities his record to a place
in The North Americans series of Penn
sYlvania's greatest criminal mysteries. 1t
is one Of the greatest stories Of its kind
ever printed, and will appear next Sum-
day, May q.
One of this series is published in The
North American every Sunday. They
are attracting wide attention among law
yers and criminologists, and on the part
OF the general public.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Charleston Gazette, has no hesitation nor
conjunction in insinuating that Governor
Glasscock is acting in bad faith toward
the State in connection with the Virginia
debt question, and with unfair inuendoes
and malevolent suggestions seeks TO dis
credit the Governor. But when the
Wheeling lntelligencer cast few asper-
sions upon the Gazette and its owners in
connection with the same subject, the
Gazette just bowls in its wrath. We are
inclined TO accept the Gazette's strenuous
denials OF the lntelligencer'S charges, but
we have at least as much confidence in
Governor Glasscock'S probity.

Legislature have small regard for party
principle just so their personal interests
are taken care OF. They are not TO be

a sad thing that they can so easily cor

elected to represent the people.

THOSE Democrats who oppose the
passage of primary election law at the
present extra session Of the West Virginia
Legislature are not having entirely plain
sailing. Mr.. Gilkeson introduced in the
House resolution to appoint commits
sion of five members of the Legislature,
three Democrats and two Republicans,
TO consider primary election measure
and report at subsequent session, either
the regular session of 1913 or an extra
session if called by the Governor. This
resolution was forced through the House
by vote of 43 TO 81, every effort of the
WatSon-Chilton wing of the party being
uSedto have il pass. In the Senate, how
ever, the resolution was held up, and it
seems likely to fail there.
II looks from this distance as if the
bosses are beginning to realize the dan
ger of trifling with this question, and late
news is TO the effect that the Democrats
will, after all, support primary law if
the Republicans Shall agree to measure
that gives neither party unfair advantage.
This is exactly what the people want,
and they will hold responsible the party
that denies them such law.

THE Kanawha brand of politics is good
deal like soup-it slips down easily, but
it doesn't stick TO the ribs. The present
manipulation of Democratic politics in
this State is doubtless gratifying to those
experts who are having their own way,
but it is doing the party no real benefit.
The people of West Virginia last fall gave
the State to the Democrats in the hope
that change would be of general good.
They expected some needed legislation
that is being denied them and they hoped
for an amelioration of political methods
that caused them disgust. Changing from
the corrupt bosses of one party TO the
selfish schemers OF another is not what
is desired, and if last falls vote OF conf
dence is changed TO condemnation next
year If can be blamed on the Kanawha
style Of politics.

THE exigencies of politics cause appa-
rently good men to do questionable
things. ThisiS illustrated by the appoint
ment of postmaster at Morgantown, this
State. Former Congressman Sturgiss,
whose home is in Morgantown, desired
the reappointment OF Postmaster Poster
for another term Under the customary
courtesies that prevail among minded
men, even in politics, this one little eve
lamb would have been spared TO MIR.
Sturgiss; but former Senator Scott and
former Senator Davis Elkins, who assume
to control the federal patronage in West
Virginia, seem to be Unsuitable, and they
demanded OF President Taft that he ap-
point their candidate, Frank L. Bowman.
The President, with apparently no finer
sense OF courtesy than the ex-Senators,
yielded to their opportunities, and put
upon Mr.. Sturgiss the humiliation of
having his personal choice for postmaster
OF his home town rejected.
This is right shabby performance.

convention of the Republican party next
year. There will be two candidates for
the presidency, according to present in
dications - President Taft and Senator
LaFollette, the latter representing the
Progressive" or "Insurgent" Republic
cans-and the interest in West Virginia
is in whether former Senator Scott and
his Federal office-holders Can deliver the
delegation from West Virginia to Taft or
whether the Governor and former Gov
ernor Dawson can deliver the State to
LaFollette.
All doubt as to the official dispenser of
Federal patronage for West Virginia was
removed when the nomination of Frank
L. Bowman to be postmaster at Morgan
town was sent to the Senate by the Pres
ident. Morgantown is the home town
of former Congressman SturgiSs and he
had recommended J. S. Poster for reap
pointment as postmaster But Senator
Scott was not satisfied with Poster and
wanted Bowman. Mr.. Sturgiss saw the
President in regard to the matter and
presented his side of the case, but the
President accepted the advice OF the
former Senators, Davis Elkins and Scott,
and nominated Bowman. Thus the head
of the old Federal office holders machine
in West Virginia is still in control of the
affairs Of the Republican party in the State.
Senator Chiffon has received number
of the year books issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. They are of great
interest and value TO farmers generally,
and the Senator will take pleasure in
sending copies to those who show suffi-
Gent interest in having them to write him
and request them.

1OITON SEASON HAS OPENED.
Estimated That Twenty-Five BALES of
cotton were Sold i'm the City
Saturday.

Inc cotton season Of the year 1911
opened Saturday with somewhere be-
tween 15 and 20 bales Of cotton sold
on the local market at price Of
1l.45 for strict middling.
While several bales Of cotton have
been sold on the local market before
saturday at various prices from
100 for the first bale on down to
11.5O, Saturday was the first dav that
there was any considerable number
on the local market and the regular
incoming tide of the season COM
menced.
There were 20 bales of cotton sold
at Mayesville Friday, but the num-
Der sold here Saturday was consid-
erably above that, with the prices
about the same.
The only trouble this season will
be for the merchants to get the cot
ton, for if the reports which the
farmers are bringing in from all Sec
tions Of the county can be consider
ed as anything like being near cor
rect, and IT is probable that they are,
there will be less cotton sold in this
county this season than in any year
during the past decade. The reports
of those who know confirm these
statements and the merchants are
preparing themselves now as best
as they can for small cotton crop
and, consequently, a lesser amount
OF trade than usual. Sumter has,
during the past fourteen years, been
the biggest cotton market in the
State, but 1t Is probable that it will
fall far below being so this season
unless conditions in other sections are
as bad as they are here.

DON'T WANT WORK STOPPED
Hehument or Majority Of Merchants
In Favor of Pushing Paving to
Completion.

The sentiment Of the majority of
the merchants in the city is to have
tie work on Main street pushed on as
fast as possible to completion.
Mr.. ID. w. Cuttino, manager for the
firm Of O'Donnell and COMPANY. on
Friday went around to a number OF
the merchants south Of Main street
who were most interested in the mai
ter. to ascertain their sentiments
concerning the stopping Of the paw
in; work on Main street, as soon as
1t had reached Liberty street, until the
season for the heavy fall traffic was
over. He found that the majority Of
them were opposed to stopping the
Work on the street, while at the same
tine others wanted to have the work
suspended so that they would not be
blocked during the heavy business
season, but were unwilling to contri-
hate towards a fund for the contrac-
work at the request Of these mer-
chants.
Mr. Cuttino stated that the work
Icing done on that part Of the street
in front Of the stores would seriously
interfere with their business and
would not only be a great incon-
venience to them, but would prob
ably mean a considerable loss of
business. He stated further that.
since he had found that the majority
Cf the merchants We're unwilling to
contribute towards the fund. which
would have to be paid the contractor
in case he stopped work, the only
Ting to do was to have the work
p' shed forward as much as possible
so that the work on the street should
go beyond that block in the next week

he said that the people around his
setcion were saying that the mer-
chants Of Sumter were talking ten
cent cotton this fall, but he thought
If some Of them went out and took a
look at the crop in the county that
they would change their minds and
talk about fifteen or twenty cent cot
ton, for it was probable that as far
as this county was concerned, there
would be less cotton to be market
ed mere this season than in any re-
cent year. From all sides the farm
ers tell of short cotton crop, which
is already opening under the hot sun
and dying from the intense heat and
lack of rain.
