the farmers will suffer all the loss,
while the syndicate will have a nice
profit on the transaction in The 81 a
bale they collect in advance from .he
farmers. Mr.. Stayton's New Orleans
speech sounds like the plaint of a
man who has been detected in sharp
practices before he could get away
with the plunder. HIS talk about
Southern hospitality in this connect
ion Is silly. for this is a business prop
osition. not pink tea or similar So
cial function.
The anxiety of Gel. Roosevelt to
explain away at this juncture his
shady deal with Hartman who raised
a corruption fund OF the Republican
candidates in 1904 can have but one
Interpretation. He Is camping on the
trail OF the Presidential nomination
and seeks a clean bill Of health to
present to the people who do not now
accept everything he says as gospel
truth, or regard him as the person
iication Of every civic virtue. He
knows that he will have to show them
before they will vote for him again.
The ponies make slow time slosh-
ing through the mud in Columbia
this week, and the jockeys and book
makers are about the only ones who
see the races. but the pool rooms and
race track gambling joints all over
the country run full time at high
speed every day. The little track at
Columbia is a small part Of the big
game.
If the officers Of the State Fair

ing In the profits derived from the
proceeds Of the pool room gambling

association an injury that will be
hard to repair.

has endorsed the Rock Hill plan and
ar effort will be made. 1t Is presumed,
to prosecute a vigorous campaign sor
the reduction Of the cotton acreage

movement Is primarily for the bene-
it Of the farmers. but as the indus
trial and commercial welfare Of the
entire South Is indissolubly bound

cotton crop the men of all callings
should unite to carry forward the

next cotton crop will be sold at
profit and the returns for all that

will be immediate. They should not
sit down and expect the merchants
and bankers to wage and finance an
industrial war for the cotton grow
ers' salvation. They have the strength.

the fact that the business men Of the

Burial Of Beattie Is Arranged For :.
 Sunday Afternoon
Special from United Press. ]

Richmond, Nov. 252The disposition Of the body of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. caused widespread speculation in Rich- mond, today.
 While arrangements had been made for the burial in the Beattie plot in Mat1ry Cemetery, no grave had been opened, there, today. It was announc- ed, however, that the body will be buried, tomorrow afternoon, in Maury Cemetery, beside the grave of the girl wife for whose murder he suffered the death penalty.
 The family of Thomas E. Owen, father of the murdered wife. had de- termined, it was repor ted, to wait ur = til the public interest in the case had died down and until the Beattie fam fly had recovered from the shock of Harry'S death and confession before taking any action. Then, 1t was said, they will attempt to have the body of the girl wife exhumed and buried far from the remains of the husband who killed her.
 No announcement was made, today. of the tir~, of the funeral which will be attend,d only by the family. Po- lice headquarters, today, assigned a large number Of men to guard the cemetery during the services and to keep all but the stricken family from the grounds.
 The automobile in which Henry Clay Beattie, IT,, took home the body of his murdered wife will be sold at auc- ton. A large price is expected from a theatrical or show concern who would use it as curiosity.

(special from United Press,

Special from United Press)
 Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-At the end of the first period today the Army and Navy game stood: Army, O.; Navy, O..
 Navy won the toss and defended the west goal. After Hyatt returned the kickoff 25 yards, Dalton punted the ball to midfield. On an exchange of punts, the Navy gained five yards. Army was penalized 10 yards. Hyatt fumbled a punt 10 yards from his own goal and then kicked from behind his own goal line. The navy made sever al slight gains and then suffered 8 15 yard penalty.
 A kicking duel followed and Army finally got the ball on Navy's 40 yar( line, Littlejohn having recovered a tumble. A few quick line plays car- ried the ball to Navy's 25 yard line, where the Army was .penalized 10 yards. The Navy line held and An- napolis took the ball on balls as time was called for the first period.
 Navy O, Army O. =
 A crowd of about 30,000 spectators witnessed the game. The President, however, was unable to be present.
 In the second period Navy kicked a goal from placement.
 Score: Navy 8, Army 0.

Jack Burke Will
 Remain In Jail
Clerk Refuses to Accept Bail from Wife of Former Pugilist, Who Faces Ser ious Charge.

Mary Swords Burke made an at- tempt this afternoon to give bail for her husband, Jack Burke, the former Dugilist who is now in jail waiting to stand trial for a serious assault upon a little girl. Mrs. Burke appeared before Assistant Clerk Tracy in the superior court and offered to furnish the s1.7OO bail under which Burke was bound over to the criminal su- perior court by the city. Clerk Tracy refused to take the bond. The law states that the clerk may refuse to accept bail from the wife of a prison CT because of a suspicion that the bail might be given In order to ald the accused in escaping trial.
 Burke was arrested upon complaint of Rocco DiSeso of 633 Main street, who alleged that his daughter had been enticed by Burke into the lat ter's home and there mistreated. The accused had gained some notoriety in the prize ring and is said to hold the record for a long distance bout. He once fought no rounds.

 While there has been mention of the name of Alderman Robert G. DeForest for the position of head of the coun- Gil, 1t was expected today that Alder man Brady will succeed himself.

Cleary is to be the choice of the caucus for page, to succeed himself. The Democrats have a majority with IA out of A members of the coun- cil.
 It was said today that the aldermen will caucus at the same time upon the position of HarbOrmaster. Former AL derman Garry Paddock claims to have assurances from all T. of the alder men that they are favorable to his candidacy. The vote in the council will be taken in February.
 The name of Frederick Schreiber, Superintendent of Streets has also been mentioned for the place. MT. Schreiber's friends are anxiouS to see him retained as superintendent of streets under the new administration. It was said today, however, that a Republican had been selected for this place.
