BOBBIE WILL FTLLINGAME.
Little Girl Passed Away After an
Illness of Only Three Days.

Little Girl Passed Away After an
Illness of Only Three Days.
Saturday morning at $50 o'clock
the spirit of Robbie Will winged it's
way back to the God who gave it.
She was the oldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. R. M. Fillingame
Little Robbie had been sick only
three days. All that loving hands
could do was of no avail. She was 10
years and six months old, and was
such a good, obedient child, and was
loved by all who knew her. She
was so considerate for a child Of her
age, always willing and ready to do
when called upon She was a faith
full member of the Sunbeam Society
and Sunday school, and will be sadly
missed by us. But she has filled her
mission here, and it was Gods will
to take her home where she will wait
and watch at the open gate.
Oh, how hard it is to give up one
so dear But Gods will must be
done.
She was laid to rest in Springvale
cemetery Sunday morning at 10
o'clock, Rev. r. A. Morgan of Bron-
wood conducting the last sad rites.
Those who mourn her death are her
broken-hearted father and mother,
two sisters and one brother, and
host of other relatives and friends.
To the sorrowtng ones we tender our
deepest sympathy and ask them to
look to the One who doeth all things
well. May their hearts be cheered
and cOnsoled but
Ills hard to break the tender cords
When love has bound the heart;
IT'S hard, so hard, to speak the words
We must forever part"

The Cotton Politicians Star Play
From the Augusta Chronicle.

/ the price of the South's great staple
crop where it ought to be; at least
prevent it being made the football
of spectators the world over. And
if they succeed, which they must in
the end, it will be along these lines.
The dissemination of accurate and
reliable information as to crop con-
ditions.
The elimination of the cotton gam
bier from the situation; the proven
ton of reckless speculation, by max
ing actual cotton the basis of all
contracts.
Prevention of over-production,
through the efforts of local, county,
state and national organizations.
Likewise a natural, normal, bust
ness-Iike method of marketing the
crop; instead of the present grand
rush to throw all the cotton on the
market at the same time, whereby
the price is, necessarily, depressed.
Better warehouse facilities, which
will not only enable the farmer to
hold his cotton for a better market at
a minimum cost, but will also make
it possible for him to borrow money
on his product to meet his demands.
And, what is by no means least
important, a concerted, worldwide,
intelligent movement to find wider
market for the staple; in other
words, by discovering new uses for
cotton to greatly increase the con-
sumption.
These and other common-sense
plans to which the farmers and their
most intelligent, unself1sh leaders are
applying themselves must, inevitably,
bring about better and more stable
market for cotton in time.
But nothing will ever be accom-
plished by the shouters and tom-tom
heaters; by John Paul Jones resolu-
lions and hot-air speeches from cot
on-politicians. In fact, these things
represent merely so much waste of
time; if, indeed, they do not actually
interfere with the better and more
practical work that more sincere and
more earnest friends of the cotton
farmer are endeavoring to carry on

PICKING COTTON BY MOONLIGHT

Sumter Planters Anxious to Harvest
Crop Before Rains Set in.
Cotton picking by moonlight is "a
decided innovation, but upon at least
one plantation in Sumter county
night work beneath the moonbeams
is progressing.
Fields of this section are still like
snowbanks, and farmers are exceed
ingly anxious to harvest their crop
before a storm damages it.
Extra pay is given the night pick
ers, and the novelty of picking cot
ton by moonlight attracts many to
the locality.

PASS
A RESOLUTION
County Club Makes Strong
Protest on Roads.

At a meeting of the Richmond
County Automobile Club, held at its
clubhouse in Eltingville, Monday
night, a strong protest vas made in
regard to the condition of some of
the island thoroughfares and about
the way broken stone is put on the
roads. The following resolution was
adopted in part, criticising their con-
dition!
Richmond County receives money
enough but doesn't spend it in keep
ing the same smooth highway system
to which its people have been accus-
toned. 1t dumps loose stone on
roadbeds as hard as billiard balls
without picking them up and rolling
the stone. 1t saves the price Of roll
ing to spend on unnecessary posi-
lions and half-idle men and makes
the automobile owner pay for 1t In
his tire troubles; horse owners in
his doctors and wheelwright's bills;
and houseowners in the ruin of his
furniture and hangings.
The practice of flooding the roads
with oil and leaving them smeared
and CREASED without additional pro-
lection of covering this oil with grit
is a practice which is very general
We would like to insist that
these oil roads be Immediately Gov
cred with grit, as it is necessary to
use these roads, especially when par
allel roads are undergoing repairs.

MUNICIPAL FERRYBOAT
BREAKS RUDDER CHAIN

Just off Robbins Reef, with a
heavy tide running, the rudder chain
of the municipal ferryboat %Stapleton
bound for the Battery landing, from
Stapleton, snapped early yesterday
afternoon. The ferryboat vas at the
mercy of the tide and was swirled
around several times, drifting meal
WINE tTwGTd-the-r0cky crags of the
Governors Island shore.
aL4---- @f th~as
wo>.en and children, were on the
verge Of panic On board the Staple
ton. The crew went among them
and succeeded in quieting many Of
them.
Captain Bush, unable to control
his boat, sounded distress calls on
the whistle, which put every steam
boat and other craft in the harbor
Immediately on the alert.
Down in the slips at st. George
the ferryboat Richmond, Captain
Larkin, and the ferryboat Castleton,
had steam up. They instantly put
out in the bay and steamed full
speed to the StapIeton, which was
drifting nearer and nearer the rocks.
Captain Bush, on the disabled
ferryboat, slgnalled the cause Of the
trouble. The Castleton was quickly
dashed alongside the Stapleton and
made fast. Within a few minutes
1t was decided to transfer the Sta
pleton's passengers to the Richmond,
which stood by.
The Richmond came up astern, a
rope was passed and then another,
and finally a long plank was put out
from the Stapleton. The plank
bridged the intervening pace to the
Richmond, and across it the Staple
toms passengers were safely passed,
the crews Of both ferryboats aiding
the women and children to go aboard
the Richmond.
AS soon as the transfer had been
made the Richmond started for the
Battery and landed the passengers.
Half a dozen trucks were left on
board the Stapleton.
The CastletOn then slowly steam
ed with the disabled ferryboat back
to Stapleton.
During the transfer of passengers
a score Of craft came up in answer
to the Stapleton's distress signals.

When the World Was Drunk.

Nowhere in all the world today can
be found as many confirmed drunk
ards as there were among the Thra-
clans, the Iberians, the Celts or the
Scythians. The mar who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
as queer. The Greeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury Of the Persian feasts. The Ro-
mans initiated the Greeks. Then the
whole world went on a mad drunk. 1t
was a saturnalia. Caligula owes his
niche In the hall Of fame to the drunk
en- banquets with which he made even
Rome marvel. The excuses made
fashionable by such potentates as Lu-
%cullus, Nero, Verres, Ttberius, Caligu-
la, Vitellius and Domitian really began
in the days Of Pompeii, and they mark
the beginning of the end Of the repub-
lic.-Argonaut.

VERDEsP'S SENTENCE
LIKELY TO REMAIN
Special By United Press Wirs.

Rome, July 2O:-There has been
a very little talk in Rome of an effort
to secure a modification of ex-Prlest
Verdesi's sentence to an 833-lire-or
about $160-fne and ten months
imprisonment for libelling Father
Bricarelli, Of the Society Of Jesus.
That the modification will be grant
ed Is, however, altogether unlikely,
for very few people, even In the
most liberal circles, sympathize with
Verdesi.
The evidence at the trial showed
quite clearly hat Verdesi was 1ctu-
ated by motives of pure hostility to
the Roman Catholic church and that
his story of Bricarelli's violation of
the seal of the confessional was
wholly ~uHfOunded. Verdesi began
ms religious career as a novice in a
4~3enedictine monastery, ran away
from 1t to join the Methodist group
in Rome, subsequently returned, was
finally removed from the monastery
on the ground that he had no apti-
tude for the life there and Was taken
iu7tU tho Roman ouuIfudIy ana Ordaln-
ed a priest.
Father BricareIli had befr!ended
the young priest from the first. He
was the latter's confess0r until
1907, when Verdesi removed TO some
distance from Rome, but remained 50
friendly with him that when he Wis
tied Rome a year later he was 9 guest
at the Jesuit's house. 1t was at this
time that Verdesi showed 70 much
familiarity with the Modernist move
ment that Bricarelli pressed for an
explanation. Verdesi admitted that
he had attended many Modernist
meetings, was familiar with the lead
ers of the movement and gave a SEN
sational account of the language they
used III attacking the church's au-
thority.
Wholly in his capacity as a friend
and not at all as his spiritual ad-
visor, Bricarelli told his guest that
If he were a loyal priest he would
denounce those who were disloyal.
Verdesi accordingly signed a deposit
ton accusing Fathers Bonaiuti, Nj
cola, Turelei, Mario Rossi, Ottorino
COppa and others of Modernism.
There seems no doubt that E'erdcsi
knew how the deposition would be
used and raised no objection. The
priests he accused were suspended.
Later on Verdesi appears to have
repented again, for he discarded his
priests robes, rejoined the Metho-
dists In Rome and preferred his
charge against his former friend Of
betraying the secrets of the confess
siOnal. Though it was not definitely
proven, it was intimated at the trial
that Verdesi's final secession from
the Catholic church was the result Of
his failure to secure a Vatican post,
which he coveted.

INSURANCE 60.
HAS AN OUTING
John Hancock Agents Have
Big Affair

The John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of Boston, gave
an outing last Saturday at Monroe
Eckstein's park, Concord, Staten Is
land, to the representatives Of the
Staten Island agencies. Several of
the high officials of Manhattan,
Brooklyn, Jersey City and Allen
town, Pa, were also present on this
occasion. The affair was a great
success with plenty to eat and drink
during the day.
The sporting part Of the program
consisted of bowling, baseball, run
ming and other sports. The baseball
game between Allentown and Staten
Island agencies was an exciting af-
fair. Allentown won by the score
of 6 to 8. John Boyal, local agent
at Tottenville, played shortstop for
the home team. The bowling match
between the Allentown and Staten
Island teams was won by the latter,
three out of five games bowled.
Superintendent Altman, captain Of
the Allentown team, won first prize
for high score. Assistant Superin-
tendent Robinson, of the Staten Is
land office, got second prize.
In the half-mile run George Jen-
sen won first prize and A. A. Slever
second. Both are from the local
office. In the 240-yard run John P.
Bolan, our local agent, won first
prize, and Superintendent Altman
second. The race was an exciting
one and had to be run twice. The
broad jump was between Assistant
Superintendent Hagerty, of Staten
Island, and Assistant Superintendent
Hopkins, Of Allentown. 1t was won
by the former by about ten inches.
Staten Island agency was accorded
the honors of securing the most
points during the day.
Much credit Is given Superin-
tendent A. Won Mechour and his
committee of the Staten Island
agency, for the way everything was
arranged and the amer in which
the affair was conducted. The out
of-town visitors departed for their
homes about 10 o'clock that night,
wishing the island boys a successful
year. They remarked it was the
greatest that they had attended,
hoping to have the pleasure of be-
ing their guests again in 1912.

ShekeIa and Half Shekels.

The early Biblical references to
pieces Of silver do not in the original
convey the idea of coins, but of
weights, shekels. The Mosaic "obla-
ton to Cod was q half shekel, and
the shekel is explained by J~osephus
as equal to four Athenian drachmae Of
the value Of about 55h cents in Ameri-
can money. The first Jewish coinage
under authority was. it is believed,
struck by Simon, the Maccabee, about
the year 40 b. G. 1t consisted Of
shekels and half shekels. This coin
age had its value signihed upon 1t,

POISON DOGS
AT KEYPORT
Board of Health Bury Them
Some Mystery.
Specfol to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, July 20:-The Board of
Health have been kept busy the last
few days burying dogs that were
poisoned in the Lockport district
last Monday night. 1t is said that
in all fourteen dogs were killed by
some kind of poisoning and that
most of the CANNES were picked up
dead in the cutters. Who did this
act is a mystery as no one seems to
know. By some the act was termed
a cruel one. Others said they were
glad somebody had nerve enough to
rid the community of a lot of worth
less dogs that kept the parents in
constant fear of their children be-
ing bitten.
