Special Officer Stacy. OF the Norfolk and
Western Railway, after shooting aud
was supposed killing the negro robber
near Poe, in Prince George County, last
night. satisfying himself that the negro
was dead. and. taking his pistol from
him. hurried TO Petersburg to inform
Dr. HarSrave. the county coroner, of

ner and several others Officer Stacy re-
turned to the scene of the shooting to
take charge OF the body. But. surpris-
ing to relate. the body had disappeared.
and diliScnt search failed to find II.
The supposition is that the negro was
not fatally injured, that he revived and
went away. or that the body was re-
moved by his companions In the robbery
of the car at Poe, whom Mr.. Stacy was
pursuing. and in some way disposed OF.
Officer stacy shot none too quick to
save his own life. as the negro had

Answer-Have a doctor and stick
to him through the years.
The habit OF running from one
specialist or near specialist TO another
for this and that trouble is unwise
from an economical standpoint. il
health is really wealth. as philoso-
piers say. a specialist may be very
good In his own field and still be
fatally handicapped without the en-
pert opinion OF the patients regular
physician. The family doctor knows
about your constitution, your idiosyn-
crasies, your heredity, your tempera-
ment, your personal medical history
and especially the nature of past ILL
nesses. which may have vital in
nuence upon the present trouble

of his ON choosing. But If John
comes home disappointed we rarely
get the news-that is matter which
John prefers not To talk about. When
patient picks his own specialist he
Is very likely 10 pick the wrong man.
good specialist is man whose
patients come from family doctors who
know and respect the specialists skin
in his particular field. y near
specialist is one who gets the patients
direct from the market, without re-
gard TO the family doctors ideas.
Ihcrc is n lot OF difference, though
many unfortunatcs do not realize it
until too late.

money would be cast upon the waters
but to return after many years in
full to the treasury.
The significant feature of the plan
as it was presented to President
Wilson by Underwood was the manu-
facture Of cyanamid at the shoals.
Now, cyanamid is neither break
fast food nor new German explo-
sive. On the other hand, it is one
Of the most valuable fertilizers that
this nation knows. Yet, strange to
say, this nation must depend on Eu-
rope chiefly for its supply.
Cyanamid is almost dirt cheap, IL
one has the facility to make it. In
fact, it's chief ingredient comes ont
Of the air.
Nitrogen-thst most valuable Of
all fertilizers is contained in large
quantities in the air. A charge Of
electricity will draw 1t out, so to
speak. The rest of the cyanamid Is
merely an admixture Of lime.
Still, year in and year out this coun-
try is paying millions for Chile's nj
trates for fertilizers, when they might
come out Of the air.
The Muscel Shoals project hackers
propose to manufacture this product
extensively, thus furnishing valu-
able agency for revitalizing the tired
farm lands, and saving the nation
rhe bill Europe and Chile now an
nually hold against us.
Still another idea Of the Muscel
Shoals dreamers is to utilize the
"bauxite" Of the southland to manu-
facture aluminium. At present this
ore goes to Niagara Falls fer CONVEX
sion into the lightweight, yet durable
metal. II President Wilson and con-
gress approve the plan, this Shoals
will, be converted into an enormous
manufacturing plant, with its raw pro-
ducts in the air and the ground right
at hand.
Furthermore, the south's iron and
steel business, the Shoals hackers say.
will be doomed by the use Of hydro
electric power for the huge furnaces.
Discussing the subject today, Rep.
Underwood declared that the proposal
would be one Of the biggest indus
trial booms the south could have. He
scoffed at contentious Of Rep. Frear
OF Wisconsin that the proposed ap-
pro''Tiations would mean gift Of
. silver platter to the electric COM
rnn'es. Frear's contention that the
Shoals are detsriorating from navi-
CATION standpoint was admitted by
Understood. but he argued that the
government ought to lend its aid to
proposal that meant As much as this
TO tie scrth and to the farming indus
try throughout the land.

BANKERS PROTEST
TO RESERVE BOARD
United Press.

United Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20.--
irate at being included in the Phila
dclphia regional reserve district o,
the new currency system instead Of
IN the New York district, the formal
protest of New Jersey bankers was
made today to the Federal Reserve
board. A big delegation Of Jersey
bankers are here for the hearings be-
fore the board.
Inc principal argument was that
the normal course of banking was
disturbed when the Jersey banks
were ordered to do business through
Philadelphia instead of New York. It
was argued that from time immemor-
iai practically all Jersey banks have
maintained close relations, because of
proximity and natural course Of COM
merce, with New York, and with the
exception Of Trenton, Camden and
other cities near Philadelphia had had
little relations with the Phila delphia
bankers.
Bankers of Newark, Hoboken and
Jersey City, particularly expresses or
position to their inclusion In the Phila-
delphia district.
The Jersey protest followed the for
NAL hearing recently given Baltimore
bankers who protested against being
linked up" in the Richmond district
instead of with Philadelphia. The as
signments were made by preliminary
organization committees for the re-
serve system, and are subject to
change by the whole board, but 1t Ia
doubtful If immediate action will be
taken either on the New Jersey or
Baltimore protests. Others are to come
from Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Texas.
