STATE CAMPAIGN
IN Wig Nj

Richmond, Va, July 23.-The pres
ent week witnesses the opening of the
campaign for the governorship and
+ other state Offices to be filled at the
election next November. The activi-
ties of the campaign are confined al
most wholly to the Democrats, who
will name their candidates at a state
primary one week from next Tuesday.
The present outlook is for one of
the tamest campaign the Old Domin-
ion has seen in years On the Demo
cratic side there are contests for only
half of the places on the state ticket.
The fact that the farmers are busy
with their Recommending crops is
also detracting from public interest in
the campaign.
Henry c. Stuart, Of Russell, will re-
ceiye the Democratic nomination for
governor without opposition. b. o.
James for secretary of state, A. w.
Harmon, Jr., for state treasurer. and
r. c. Stearnes for superintendent of
public instruction, are also unopposed
for the nominations.
The only contests in which any
great interest is manifested are those
fore the nominations for lieutenant
governor and attorney general. J.
Taylor Ellyson Of Richmond, the pres
ent lieutenant governor, is a candi-
date for denomination. Opposing him
in the contest for second place on the
Democratic ticket are Lewis II. Ma
chen and Alexander J. Wedderburn,
both residents of Alexandria.
For the nomination TOR attorney gen
eral the rival candidates are S. Gordon

TlLLMAN INUNDATED
With FRIED CHICKEN

Washington, July 23.--When Sena-
tor Tillman, who is on diet by order
of his physician, declared somewhat
peevishly that "the art of frying chick
en- was unknown in Washington" he
had not reckoned with housewives of
the District of Columbia, many of them
Southerners, and jealous of the ability
to cook. AS a result of the aspersion,
indignant housewives and a few score
admirers of the South Carolina states
man have been inundating him with

AT first Senator Tillman sought to re-
turn the gifts, but practically none had
the name of the donor on it, although
many contained notes defying the SEN

AS result the senator's committee
room wastebasket was continually fill

clerks and senate attendants, impress

Watkins GIVEN
YEAR IN JAIL
DEPUTY LAND COMMISSIONER,
WHO CONFESSED THEFT,
SENTENCED TUESDAY.

Jackson, Miss. July 23.-Tears and
entreates of women are credited with
having saved Leigh Watkins, a deputy
state land commissioner who confess
ed to embezzling $322.5O through the
issuance of bogue refund warrant,
from a penitentiary sentence. 1t is
known that large number of women
have gone to Judge Henry, of the cir
cult court, since Watkins confessed
! to plead with him to be lenient with
the prisoner.
The secene IN the court room late
yesterday afternoon when Watkins was
sentenced to serve one year in the
county Jail was an affecting one. First
came the plea of guilty from the pris-
oner, small, sparely built man, who
| in low voice said:
81 have made my peace with God and
am ready for the sentence"
Then came the pleadings of Judge
Tim E. Cooper, former chief justice of
the supreme court, for the prisoner at
bar Judge Cooper said that in all of
his experience of fifty years as law
! yer he had never before personally
1 known of a case where a mans con-
science drove him to a confession,
when his crime would not have been
discovered otherwise. He said Wat
kins had made full restitution, and he
hoped the court would be as lenient as
possible with him.
Attorneys for Watkins had hoped
] the judge would impose a fine, and if
this had been the case his friends
stood ready to make up the amount
In sentencing Watkins Judge Henry
delivered brief but pointed lecture to
the prisoner He spoke of the many
persons who had come to him to plead
for the young man, and said he had
been touched by the appeal of Judge
Cooper, but that stern duty confront
ed him. He stated he would have
given lighter sentence if the prisoner
, had been a private individual, but as
an employee of the state he felt he de-
served to be punished, as much as an
example to others as in the way of
/ punishment for his wrong doing.
! Watkins shed tears freely during
! the proceedings, and with bowed head
was led to the Jail back of the court
house. He will be taken to the coun-
! ty farm at Raymond the latter part of
the week, as a Jail sentence means he
goes to that place.
/ The plight of Watkins, when he
found his burden of debt too heavy to
bear, and his falling before tempta-
ton to steal to pay bills of doctors,
who had waited upon his wife, touch
ed many feminine hearts in Jackson,
hence their urgent and sobbing ap-
peals to Judge Henry.
! 1t was generally believed that Judge
Henry would send Watkins to the peni-
Tertiary for six months. That would
have destroyed his citizenship, so it
is believed the Judge compromised on
year in jail, which, while the length
of service would be longer, would not
deprive the prisoner of his rights to
vote.

fined in madhouse in Belgium for
nearly half century.
Crown Prince Rudolph, the Emper-
or's only son and heir, met death un-
der mysterious circumstances at Mey-
eiling in 1889. With his mistress.
Marie Vetsera, he was found dead in
the royal hunting lodge. How they
died is another secret of the Haps-
burgs.
The young daughter of the Crown
Prince, named Elizabeth after the EN-
press, faithfully carried out the Haps-
burg impulses. When a girl of II she
met and married a young army officer
against wishes of the Emperor. Her
husband proved faithless and there
was a tragic ending to their love when
she shot her husbands mistress, whom
she had surprised with him at Prague.
The Archduchess Stephanie. the
widow of the Crown Prince and
mother of Elizabeth, married Count
Lonyay, which marriage was also con-
trary to the wishes of the Emperor.
The misfortunes of the Hapsburgs
promise to continue even after the
death of the aged Emperor, for his
successor, his nephew, the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand will hrino q r,;fo
but no empress to the throne. In 1900
Francis Ferdinand married the Count
ess Chotek, who was a lady-in-
waiting at the court. At the time
Francis Joseph solemnly announced to
the empire that his nephew's marriage
was morganatic and that therefore
neither his wife nor his children had
any of the rights of the imperial fam
lily.
There are many who say that the
domestic sorrows of Francis Joseph
are due to a curse that is hanging
over the house of Hapsburg, uttered
by the aged Countess of Karolvi
whose son was put to death for par.
ticipating in the uprising of 1913. She
called on Heaven and He'll to blast
the happiness of the Emperor. to ex.
terminate his family to strike him
through those he loved to wreck his
life and to ruin his children.

Or all the figures in contemporary
history, that of Francis Joseph is at
once one of the most magnificent and
the most pathetic. With a long and
eventful life behind him, a life over
cast by disasters that would have un.
seated a feeble ruler, and saddened
by sorrows that would have broken
down a weaker man, the Emperor in
the evening of his days still bears the
burden of the dual crown unbowed

which he has followed the course of
events in the Balkans the past year

which he has acted when such action
