BEATTIE TOLD
JURY He IS AN
INNOCENT MAN
CALLED HIS COUSIN A LIAR
Defendants was Graphic
and Interesting

Chesterfield, c. H., Va, Sept. 4.-Cat,
egorical denial was made today On
the witness stand by Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., that he took part in OF
knew anything of the purchase by his
cousin, Paul Beattie, of the shotgun
with which his wife was killed. He
likewise fatty contradicted almost the
entire testimony of his cousin, par
ticularly with regard to the alleged
confession in which Henry is sup
posed to have said to Paul, q wish
| hadn't done it."
Tightly clasping a handkerchief
with which he nervously rubbed his
face, the prisoner rested his head on
the other hand and half reclining IN
the arm chair. faced the jury in his
battle for life. His answers wale {
quick and decisive. He showed an apt
memory in relating the details of tne
manner in which the alleged highway
man approached his machine, and in
tending to shoot at the accused, mur-
dered his wife beside him. 1t. was
exactly the same story, identically
everything, even in it's phraseology,
with that which the accused told %
the coroner's jury-although he ad-
mitted today more of his relations
with Beulah Binford. He Teligiously
followed the course of the defense
throughout the trial in pointing her
out as a disreputable girl for whom
he had only a passing fancy, and fOl
whom he never would have murder I'd
his wife. For nearly two hours and &
half Beattie was in the witness
chair, and when court recessed for
luncheon, the direct examination +
the prisoner closing the case for the
defense was concluded, except for the
demonstration requested by counsel
for the prisoner that the jury be
shown by the accused on the lawn out
side the courtroom, the exact manner
in which the murder occurred while
he was seated in the car. Indications
were that he would be on the stand
until we'll into the evening, as the
prosecution has prepared a lengthy
cross examination.

CAMPUS WAS
FILLED WITH
NEWCOMERS
OVERFLOW HAS DEVELOPED
Accommodations Exhausted at
Agricultural College

Arriving unannounced and unexpac-
ted, prospective students for the Third
District Agricultural College fairly
swarmed from all incoming trains ct
the college carpus yesterday after
noon until every available space at
the college was filled with them and
there was no room remaining to acco-
modate the great overflow.
An unusually large attendance had
been expected by Superintendent Col
lum but the number of students VINO
arrived yesterday afternoon fairly ov-
erwhelmed the school authorities.
Knowing that the number of students
who wished accommodations was
great, promise had been given by the
authorities to many more students
than could be given rooms. But the
great overflow of applicants We're
among those who had never made ar
rangements for entrance, but who
came unheralded and unannounced.
In view of these conditions the COL
lcge authorities are facing a genuine
problem in the matter Of what to do
v 9Th the large number of students who
have come without having previously
made arrangements. When they coll
lected on the campus yesterday after
noon from the trains, they presented
the appearance of an army. So num-
erous were they that they have not yet
encu numbered. Some temporary ar
romIrodations, such as tents or other
! ans, must be employed to give the
Ot. row attendance some manner #
accommodations until better solution
of the problem can be reached. These
81 dents have come from Texas, Ala
bama Florida and from practically ev-
cry southern state to take ID their
stuc'c in agriculture here.
Z advantage VI tue OCCdSIOu OF
ftrcd, the military department of the

teIrCon with an enrolment such as has
never been known before This fea-
ture of the work promises to be an IN
paralelled success. AS soon as the new
cormitory is ready for occupancy, the
need of which has been so wildly
shown by the great overflow attend
ance at the opening of this term, the
federal government will detail an a.
my officer to instruct the students in
tactics, giving the school me
advantage of military instruction that
is uneXcelled.

thousand workers, more than 5000 nf

marching in the immense procession OF
trades unionists which tramped down
Fifth ave. today beneath waving flags
and to the stirring music of a score OF

| Nearly every union was distinguished
by a special uniform. Some Of the
more rabid members showed a touch
of anarchistic red and glaring scarlet

places. The spirit of the "Marseillles'
was strongly evident in some quarters,
in spite of the fact that the leaders
frowned upon such display.
Another feature of the parade was
the Mcnamara division, led by Julius
Gerber. This division was made up 0f
the organization which is collecting
funds for the defense of the McNama-
ia brothers in Los Angeles.
Mathew A. McConville, grand mar

OUTLOOK FOR TRADE
Was never SO BRIGHT
Farmers Have Money to Spend
With Merchants

Prosperity throughout the entire
country, with the south far in the
lead of every other section of the Ma,
ton, is the remarkable condition OF
affairs in the world of trade as rep
r sented at this time in the New York
+ arkets.
Mr.. w. d. Bailey, who has just r.
turned from an extended stay in New
York, speaks with enthusiasm of pros
pective fall trade as it was reflected
by conditions in New York and as he
has found conditions there.
Never have l witnessed such an
outlook for trade locally" said Mr..
Bailey yesterday. "The farmers are

ton but of all other farm products,

this section will have much to spend
with the merchants, in fact, they have
already begun to spend it and to spend
it freely. We have prepared fo. this
trade by buying the best and most va
ried stock that we have ever secured
here. Our goods undoubtedly repre-
sent the prettiest patterns and the
best made garments that We have
ever offered to the local trade. Added
to all this is the fact of which we are
especially proud, that We are better
equipped and have better facilities for
handling these goods than we have
ever had"

BIG INCREASE IN VALUE
OF LANDS IN AMERICUS
Fifty Percent Gain Within a
Brief Time

Six months ago an Americus invest
or purchased for $4,000 a small farm
on the suburbs of Americus. The
pri was considered extreme by 9th
ers who hesitated 10 offer more for the
farm and it was predicted that the pur-
chaser would wait some time ere ne
got his money back.
That was six months ago; the price
of the farm $4,000.
Since that time the wise buyer has
sold off a few front lots for $4,000 and
today he could sell the balance of the
farm for $4,000, the full amount paid
for it and thus be $4,000 to the good
in his bargain.
Another citizen paid $4,000 for con
siderable tract of vacant property near
that above mentioned, and $4,000
would not buy it today.
Another Tract in Demand.
Still another lineal descendant OF
Solomon here paid $1,000 two weeks
ago for a southside property. Yester-
day he said he could swap it for a
$4,000 check before breakfast thus
pocketing $4,000. And this without
losing an hour from business or a mo

AMERICAN FARMER IS
NOT HELPING HIMSELF

New Yerk, Sept 4.-The American
farmer is not helping himself as much
as he might and not as much as the
farmers of many other countries are
helping themselves. Such was the
opinion voiced by Governor Woodrow
Wilson, of New Jersey, in a speech de-
livered at the Staten Island county
fair this afternoon. Governor Wilson
suggested as a remedy for this a clos
er cooperation among American
farmers, country churches being used
as a medium for bringing this about.

f'nn the more thickly populated sec
tions to the southern outskirts.
Are Moving Further Out.
That the trend of population is
steadily progressing to the southern
part of the city real estate agents are
agreed
The residents are able to get more
light and air, and to have larger lawns
around their houses in the suburbs
than they could in the congested sec
tions of the city. AS a result they are
fiocking to the southern outskirts and
are building uD that section of the city.
However, other sections of Ameri-
Gus do not lose by this outpour to the
suburbs. On the other hand the hous-
es on the more downtown streets are
in great demand The incoming popd-
lation likes to be near the main streets
where the business section is easy OF
access, and as a result these houses
are we'll filled.
The value of real estate in Americus
is increasing with the growing popu'
lation, and a house in any part of the
) city is a good interest paying propo
: sition, the agents say.
