POTOMAC WATERS.
Governors of Maryland and Virginia
Send Petition.

AS further step in the investiga-
ton that is under way to determine
the supposed pollution of the waters
of the Potomac river and the alleged
contamination of the oysters in con-
sequence, Governor Goldsborrou9h,
in behalf of Maryland, and Governor
Mann, of Virginia, have addressed a
Joint letter to Surgeon General Ru-
pert Blue, of the United States Pub
lie Health Service, asking that a
thorough examination of the Potomac
waters by experts of that service De
made. 1t is understood that DR.. Blue
will direct such examination.
AS is generally known, the leglsla-
lures of Maryland and Virginia ap-
pointed joint commission to inquire
into the condition of Potomac oysters.
Since then the question arose as to
the extent to which the river IS pol
luted by sewage from Washington,
Alexandria, and other sections along
the river banks.
Governor Goldborough and Mann
have been in correspondence over the
matter, and the joint letter to the
Public Health Service resulted, assur-
sistance TO the proposed biological
ance being given that the respective
States would end every possible as
examination.

Election in Fourth District.

Richmond. a., Oct. 12.--Edward +.
Turnbull, ir., son Of Congressman
Turnbull, of the Fourth district, cali
ed at the office of the state auditor
Yesterday. 1t is his opinion that very
questionable irregularities were per-
ritted in the recent congressional
primary in his district, and he is OF
the belief that the state committee
should pronounce the result OF the
primary, however decided by the dis
trict committee, as null and void, and
allow the two candidates to each
again take the field in the general
elections.
Mr.. Turnbull said that one week
following the election in the Fourth
district he picked up ballots in the
streets Of Crewe, Nottoway county
which ballots were being blown about
by the wind in front of the First Ma
tional bank, Of Crewe. He said tina;
he on that OCCASION saw some half j
dozen ballots scattered about on the
Sidewalk, at the point indicated. That
one such ballot was picked up by q
,1st. CarGloza, who still has poses
sion of it. Mr.. Turnbull recounteC
This incident as indicating the great
laxity with which the primary cleo.
.on laws were observed in Nottoway
and certain other counties.

SACRIFICE IS The
SPIRIT OF XMAS

A curious thing comes to my mind
concerning which | have a word to
say, and that is apropos of honesty.
No one has right to give away any
thing except what may be in excess
of the just demands upon the in
come. The butcher, the baker, the
dry goods man, needs his money as
surely as does the enthusiastic wom-
an eager to make a pretty gift or the
lover to bestow upon his sweetheart
what he knowsSs her hearts desire.
Successful Christmas giving should
mean se'f sacrifice, and 1t Is often a
greater sacrifice to deny ones self
the privilege of expenditure than to
do just what one has In mind. be-
lieve that from the nursery days
this theory should be incalculated,
and, as the coming to this world of
our blessed Lord was one great act
of sacrifice, so in planning for our
Christmas gifts each child in the
family should be encouraged to some
thing of self sacrifice in the gather
ing together of the money for his
gifts. like to picture the old fash
toned Virginia home, where round
the library table through the fall
months the children of the house
hold and the kinsfolk and acquain-
tances who might be within the doors
busted themselves in the prepare
ton of dainty nothings which shou'1
carry on Oh istmas morn the sweet
words of loving remembrance.
