Another landmark In the person of Mrs. Mary Bogart passed into the beyond ' yesterday afternoon. The end came at 4 : 30 o'clock, surrotinded by her children and" grandchildren. The deceased at the time of her death wm in her sixty-second year.. For many weeks those nearest and est havf, watched around her bedside, hoping and trusting that her life would be spared, but He whose ways are past our understanding willed I otherwise, so on yesterday she was called to enter that "Undiscovered Country." She rested beneath the shade with a consciousness of duty well performed and her works do fol low her. Mrs. Bogart was a daughter of the late W. Z. Morton, one of Washington's most Influential and useful cltisens. For years she en joyed the friendship of a large num ber. Through sunshine and rain the friends of her youth were loyal and steadfast. She was the widow of the late Lieutenant Colonel David N. Bogart, who was killed by falling from his horse while engaged In mil itary duty for the State at the upris ing at James City, a suburban town near New Bern about 15 years ago. Mrs. Bogart was a woman of line Intellect, and possessed the faculty of gaining friends and holding them. Those who knew her in youth's morning were the same in life's af ternoon. For several months her life has been despaired of, and all that loving hands co^Jd do or the skill of Aha physician cnnM pprfnrm wan ilnnn, but all to no avail, He who made *hat day for which all others were created had willed otherwise. She met the summons with a brave heart. She was ready when the Pale Horse and his rider loitered. The deceased leaves a family of seven children to mour their loss be sides several brothers and sisters. As they sit around the cold form of her who In life was their mainstay and solace they should have the consola tion in knowing she has only gone before. May they so live as to be able to greet her^some Bweet day ?with th*?alutation, "Good Morning." , The funeral will take place from the First Presbyterian Church tomor row afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by the pastor. Rev. H. B. Searlght. The interment will be in Oakdale cemetery. Thus another one of Washington's citizens is committed to God's chamber. Peace to her ash?. RIVER ROAD STATION NOTES.

IRU HUSUN FOR BUSINESS UNBEST, SIYS HE Cheer Up, Siys Frick Congress, He Says, Will Not Legislate Any Form of Property Out of Existence ? You Can I Distinguish Soil frtductionship. CONDITIONS NEVER BETTER Augusta. Qa., Feb. T. ? H. C. Frick arrived In Augusta yesterday. He hu taken a cottage on the hill, where he will spend a few weeks. "It is hard to understand -vttay," said Mr. Frick today, "with all the conditions favorable to unprecedent ed prosperity in this country, there has suddenly appeared a hesitation in activity, particularly, upon the part of the railroads and manufacturing es tablishments, which are first to feel the demands for increased facilities to meet public requirements and the first to take alarm when the demand halts. Timidity Not Justified. "If this cause is, as It is generally asserted, a fear of unfriendly legisla tion at Washingtqn and the drastic ehforcement of the "antitrust law against the business organizations of the country? I cannot believe that is a. sufllcienL-??a&on. In jiifclily. .t hv iiin- . idity shown In- many quarters. "Congress will not legislate any form of property out of existence, and court decisions cannot destroy the productiveness of the soil or of any legitimate enterprise. "Even- though it may be necessary to change the forms and methods of doing business, there will be Just as much business as the necessities of the country require, and the people who own the property will do the business. "Calamlty-HowlinK Gamblers." "Nothing is quite so' bad as an ex iit'id imagination sees lt.^ind If the people wtll cetse to lic^Afin calam ity-howling gamblers and dema gogues who make capital out of their fears, all will be well. "This is the greatest and most pro ductive land upon the globe, and nothing can kill its progress except the lack of courage of its own people. I am. as 1 have always been, an optl mlst about the United States, and the longer I live the stronger my faith becomes In its supremacy. "We, have never stood upon the threshold of better days than now, and It will be our own fault if we allow our activities to be paralyzed by groundless fears. "In my opinion the present great depression in security values does not reflect the condition of business so much as the present hesitancy in bus iness reflects the effect of wild con jectures upon what will happen at Washington, and exaggeration of its possible consequences." \ IMPROVE OUR LIVE STOCK There -is Much Need of Co operation.

FROM BBYCBn May Eat Less Meat Rise of Prices Due to Culminate Between 1912 and 1915 ? Says Business Men Will Trim Their Sails in Time. PROPHESIES NEW CRISIS New Haven. Conn., Feb. 6. ? Prof. Irving Fisher, who told his class in Yale the past week that the country was facing an Industrial .crisis and that the chief cause for the present rise in prices waB the increase of gold. Is out today with another state ment on the meat boycott. He added; "One of the curious incidents of the situation is the meat boycott; es pecially as meat, though the moat ex pensive and perhaps one of the least wholesome parts of our diet, has not risen aB far as other prices. The temporary going without meat will, of course, effect no |>ermanent drop in prices. But it will not be surprle-* Ing If those who now And it bo hard to give meat up should conclude ? as have so many people already ? that abstinence from it leaves them belter off. Or at any rate that they are bet ter off without as much meat .as Americans ordinarily use. In other i he rise of prices may be n permanent reduction, In the quantity of meal ~~a consumed. ? .Meat C'otiHiunplhih IHtivukIhr. '"The statistics of the Department of Agriculture do. in fact, show that there has been a falling off in the fonsumptlon of meat for years. Dr. Wiley is quoted as saying this will result In making 'mollycoddles' of ub. But no such danger seems likely. It is true a sudden or complete abstin ence is often hurtful. But a reduc tion in its use and a substitution of cheese, nuts, 1>p>? and banns, milk and have been found1 greatly to Improve health, as well as decrease the cost of living. "We are now In Just such a period of rising prices as was experienced after 1K.17. We have every reason to expect another crisis such as that of 1X6G. This will be the culmina tion of the present rise in prices. Paradoxically, the more clearly this is seen today the less likely It Is to happen ? or. at least, the less violent It will be when It comes. No fixed date can be assigned. But judging from the rapid rate at which the storm is brewing the crisis may be expected sooner after 190" than the crisis of is.fifi after 1H37. The most probable date Is between 1912 and l i? I Ma? Prevent Disaster. ? While it would not be surprising should the crisis occur in 191.1. It is doubtless true that there Is so much more widespread and intelligent un derstanding today "f economic prob lem:; that business men will trim their sails for the expected weather, and tints mi;i^au> any disaster. The most potent means of preventing the disaster will be in proper adjustment of the rate of interest. If overin vestment in speculative and question able enterprises is to be prevented. tlio interest pate should bo high di'.r- . lug a period of rising pricey. "History shows that in general In terest 5s high in such a period, hut tardy In reaching the height requited. Usually it rises sharply at the end of a period of high prices when the mis- / chief Is already do:ie. Then it pre cipitates a crisis. OddJy enough high interest is then complained of. in stead, the criticism should be that it didn't rise early enough to rerve as a warning and prevent the crisis." Some people have no memories for the pleasant things they hear of others. ^ New Advertisements i ? in Todaj's News ? ? Gem Theater. ? ? Gaiety Theater. ? ? Vlck'a Remedies. ? ?
