From Washington.

Washington, June IS. 1912
Senator Watson has introduced in
reduced form his tariff amendment
proposing to authorize the President
to suspend any tariff duty for a period
not exceeding six months whenever
the price of an article affected by the
tariff is abnormally increased by nor
NAL or artificial means. During the
last six months the price of potatoes
has been abnormally high, owing to
"a shortage in the crop and many
thousands of bushels of potatoes have
been imported. Had Senator Watson's
amendment been enacted in time the
duty on potatoes might have been
pended during the last six months and
kept down the cost of this necessary
article OF food. His amendment was
offered before, but was withdrawn in
order that the Senate Finance Com
mittee might have an opportunity to
investigate its provisions and pass up-
on IT. He has introduced it again as
an amendment to the chemical sched-
ule and will urge the Senate to adopt
it.
Congressman Brown has been
spending the greater part of the last
Two weeks in New York City where
ne has been serving as a member of
the subcommittee of the House Com
mlttee on Banking and Currency.
which is investigating the so-called
money trust" Some of the most in
lluentlal tnancierS of the country
have been witnesses before his com
mittee and others will be called in the
future.

The Late Rev. Dr.. 4. c. Hopkins.

The Confederate Veteran for June
publishes a striking photograph Of
the late Rev. A. c. Hopkins, togethe,
with tribute to his character and a
short record of his stirring, eventful
life. The sketch of him as published
is herewith reproduced
THE end of a noble life came bv
the death of DR.. A. c. Hopkins at
his home, in Charles Town, w. Va. on
December 4, 1911. To the people
among whom he had lived and served
as pastor his memory will ever be a
benediction, and to others who knew
him his noble and unselfish life will
be an inspiration to higher and better
living.
DR.. Abner c. Hopkins was born in
Powhatan County. Va, in 1885. and
was a graduate of Hampden-S Sidney
College. During the War of the
States he was chaplain of the Stone
wall Brigade, and often under fire
lie later served as chaplain of the
Second Army Corps, A. N. v. and
was on the staff of Gen John B. Cor
don on the last retreat of the Con-
federate army from Petersburg to
Appomattox. He began his first pas
torate fifty years ago at Martinsburg
W. Va, and in 1860 became pastor of
the Presbyterian Church in Charles
Town, a ministration ending only with
his death. He was prominent in the
work of his Church, but no narrow
denominational lines confined his
service. Following the footsteps of
the Master through long and con-
secrated pilgrimage. of a verify he
was ready
ITO be called,
Like watch-worn and weary SEN
tinel,
To put his armor off and rest in
heaven"
