. ' Despite the potent caste feeling of
the Virginia aristocracy, the first fam
ilies remembered today when they
spoke of the wedding of Henry Clay
Beattie, but a few months ago, of
the mysteriously veiled "woman who
then appeared. It has been general
ly known since Beattie 'marriage
- that there was another woman who
- appeared heavily veiled, like a wraith,
at the wedding feast, v and from her
dark rear pew of the little church
. in Manchester, inspired a dread fear
that banns would be forbidden. The
police . today named Beulah Binford
as the woman. v -'-
Under yesterday 's sweating the po
lice declared that the other woman
admitted that she ' waa the mother
of Beattie 's dead son, born July 24,
1909. and that . she baa been lately
paid-money by the scion of the South
to keep away from Richmond..; She
' returned 'three weeks ago, and on at

VIOLATIOK OF LAW
TO FREDICT CROP.
Senator SalU Qeta After Secretary
f Agrfcvitval Department
Speeial to News and Observer.
Washington. D. C. July 20. Tbe
action at tbe Department ot Agricul
ture. la issuing a prediction aa to tbe
aixe of the cotton crop of this fall was
a violation of law and has resulted
U lowering of prices ia the cotton
market, said Senator Smith, of Sooth
Carolina, in a speech in the Senate
today,- :- -.- - : ; .- -----
Beeretary Wilson admitted that
this -contention Waa right, ' Senator
Smith told the Senate, and promised
that the matter complained of would
not occur again.- Tbe south Carolin
ian waa considerably wrought up over
the matter, and had prepared a joint
resolution "to be introduced ia Cong-
hreas 'if his interview with the Secre
tary of Agriculture had not resulted
satisfactorily. .. f
The department Bulletin to which
exception was taken, was issued July
3d and placed the cotton crop condi
tions at So .a per centum of a normal
crop, as compared with a ten-year
average ol ov upon a similar date.
The report further stated that crop
conditions were better than on any
corresponding date in ten years, and
saiu; yxne conaiuon inaicaies a
probable yield of 302.8 pounds per
acre, which, on 34,001,000 acres, would
mean oyttJaOU pounds, or about 14,-
425 bales'
The fact that this would be an un
usually large crop and tbe prediction
of a crop of that aixe had been used
to advantage-by the bear operators
on the" cotton exchange, was the oc
casion for an objection by Senator
Smith.
- Futures Drop $10 a Bale.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
charges that, as the result of the re
cent indications by the crop report
ing bureau of the Department of Ag
riculture as to the probable size of
the " cotton crop of 1911-1912, the
price of cotton futures on the New
York exchange has been depressed
110 a bale. . - .
Mr.. Smith will introduce in the
Senate . today a resolution direct
ing the Secretary of Agriculture, di
rectine? the Secretary of Agriculture
UM ifitetb .th Senat&Twhether: a pre-
r motion-to tbe ,enect tbat a crop in
excess of fourteen million bales would
be made this year and had been is
sued by tbe department; whether or
not such a guess as to size based upon
crop conditions in June was not an
unprecedented act; whether it was
not illegal: and what fluctuations
have occurred in the cotton market
since it was issued.
Charging that pure guess-work of
tebis kind on part of the government
crop reporting bureau has played di
rectly into the hands of the cotton
bears, Mr. Smith will take steps to
see that such "predictions" are not
made again by a bureau charged to
report facts.

Chronicling the fact that the -South

the well-known adage that for every

deferred two years, finds some conso
lation in tbe fact that -it won't take
many quarts to paint "the tiny lit
