COTTON STATISTICS

Representative Heflin, :of Ala.
bama, succeeded in passing his
cotton census resolution. 1t pro
vides for the collection of statis-
tics as to the quantity of cotton
used in the manufacture of ex-
plosives.
Census experts claim that un-
der the Heflin resolution they can
get from manufacturers of ex.
plosives the total q uantity of cot
ton they use, including the part
ly.manufactured cotton and the
raw cotton, which they can not
get under present law.
Mr.. Heflin contended that
there was a widespread demand
for this information. He said
that a quantity of cotton has
been consumed iu making gun
powder, smokeless powder and
explosive shells and that the cot
ton producer is entitled to know
how much cotton is consumed
for this purpose.

CLEANUP WEEK

Some of the good ladies' OF
Chesterfield are talking of a
cleanup week for our town.
Nobody has to be told that we
need a cleanup. That fact Ia
evident to everyone and has been

aforementioned good ladies are
to take the broom into their

sure that Chesterfield will soon

They will have the hearty sup

Sir,--The discussion which occurred
in the Senate yesterday as reported
in the morning papers irapels nae-te
say on my own responsibility and
under my own signature and without
hint or suggestion from any one else.
what I think ought in simple justice
to be said at this juncture.
1t seems to me that the treatment
of Rev. j. Sidney Peters by certain
newspapers and members of the Sem
ate is unprecedented. Mr.. Peters has
been one of the most faithful. vigilant
and competent workers for cause OF
Statewide prohibition that we have In
Virginia. Thus far he has rarely ap-
peared in the public prints. but has
been content to do his work quietly
and effectively. He is an honored
minister and has been known to me
personally for nearly twenty years.
During this period ! have never
heard a word against his high char
acter or a question raised as to his
sincere and self-sacrificing spirit.
Though often In conference with him
about these matters of common In
terest to us. he has never tntimated In
even the remotest way any sort OF am
bition to fiji any kind Of public ONCE IN
the State OF Virginia. In every In
stance In which his name has o<,Tne

on the floor of the Senate. 1t has been
introduced by persons unfrtendly
