SENATOR MARTIN
MAY BE HONORED
Is in Line for Office of President,
Pro Tern, of the United
States Senate.
Muck of the political interest of the j
m-icths to come will centre about the
?Sc? of President Pro Tern, uf the j
Catted Stales Senate. Senator Thomas
?. JdXryn. of Virginia, is in line fori
this position, occ-pying as he does the!
leadership of the democratic minority
aa the floor of the present Senate.
Apparently the new Senate is to be
Democratic and will be presided over
hy Vice-President Thomas R. Mar?
shall. A President Pro Tern, is one j
of the officers, to sit In the chair in I
the absence of the Vice-President and
to be the real head of the party which
has a majority In the body.
It is possible that the President-elect
will be consulted on this matter, and
that bis wishes will be followed, since
It is undoubted that he will give rein,
for a time at least, to carry out his
desires.
At present there is no President Pro
Tern., the Republicans and Progressives
having failed to agree on a candidate
since the death of Senator William P.
Frye. of Maine, and the Democrats
not having a majority.
FLOOD TO BE HONORED
Ukely te Succeed Salaer as Chairman af
F?rrien Relations Committee.
The flection of William Sulxer as Governor
ef New fork probably means that Congress?
man H. D. Fiood. of Virginia, will be chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Relations
In the next liouse of Representatives. This
wll: be the most Important committee chair?
manship held by a Virginian. Mr. Flood
was In line for this position In the present
Congress, but gave way to Mr. Su:aer. In
etealy the Virginian took the chairmanship
er the Committee on Territories, where he
pi?<*eded to work himself out of a Job by
admi-.tlng Arizona snd New Mexico a?
States.
Congressman James Hay will remain at the
head -of the <~ommittee on MiMtarv Affairs
and Congressman W. A. Jones as ehatrmaV
af the Committee on Insu:ar Affairs Vir?
ginia ioses a chairmanship bv reason of the
retirement of rv>r.gr,..sman John T-amb. who
Is chairman o^the committee on Agricjl
A little goes a long ways and every bit counts.

CHESTER WANTS
EHE COHHIY SEAT
] Meeting at Oak Grove To-Night
for Discussion of Pro?
posed Change.
Oak Grove voters will to-nijrht have
! an opportunity to hear at first hand
J the courthouse removal proposition
which is now being: agitated in Chea
. tcrfield County. A meeting, with this
, vnd in view, will be held to-night In
j the school house, beginning promptiy
I at 8 o*clock. Prominent residf-nts of
' Kttricks. Ma.toa.ca. Chestea and other
; sections of the county will speak in
: bt-haif of the proposition.
The "movers.*" as they are now
e-allrd. have more than 300 signatures
?to the petition, which will be pre
3-;- j
semed to Judge Robert Q. Southall
with the request that a special elec-:
tion be called to vote on the matter.
Many more names would have been
secured. It Is said, had not misleading
statements been circulated by the op?
ponents of the movement. That these j
statements are wholly untrue, it Is the
intention of the "movers'' to prove to?
night.
Thlak Expense Too Great.
One thing that has deterred many
property owners from favoring the re?
moval of the courthouse Is the gTeat
expense. Bor.ds amounting to $75.0<iO
must be issued to ?over the cost of
erecting new buildings. The conserva?
tives, or opponents,* aTe accused of
circulating a report in which It is said
that in time Swanaboro, Woodland
Heights and other suburbs will be
taken into the city of Richmond, and
then the whole debt would fall on the
remaining section of the county. That
this is false xnd misleading is the
contention of the supporters of the
scheme to move the county seat. They
base their claim upon the fact that
Richmond had to bear a larjre propor?
tion of the cost of the Henrioo County
that oounty.
Another deterrent If the Cant that UM
county levy mast nioiaaartly be raised
to pay Interest oa the bonds and t*
create a sinking fund to retire theaa
at laatarity. By am birr anas at 19
oeaas en the hundred dollar*, baaing

property at flt.t04.aoa. the beads oeasd
be easily retired la lees thaa a diaada,
?)*99MM&7 BB^MtwMp?' t> BasVoH sMmMM?
It U a wall-known fact that the
I buildings at CheaterfteM Ctourtfoouee
I are In a dilapidated ?nbsaPaa. The
oonaervattvee claim they oouid be pat
In thorough repair by the expenditure
of about fl.003.
This Is an impossibility according
to the Chesterltes. It Is said that the
elerk'a ofltce is not up to the stand?
ard. In case of a Are the records of
hundreds of years would go up la
flame*. A large sum would be re?
quired to put the office In the proper
shape to protect these precious files.
The Jail has lone bean recognised as
unsanitary and unaafe for the con?
finement of prisoners. Its lnaoeaolbill
ty puts the county to an extra expense
of detaining many prisoners In the
Richmond pall pending trial.
The movement to change the county
seat to Chester originated with the
jKitrieks Improvement League. Ma
toaca united with them. When the
matter was brought to the attention
of prominent residents of Chester It
met with instant approval. They or?
ganised a club to push (bo matter, and
have worked hard on.the proposition.
Chester Lesrleal Place.
That Chester Is the logical position
for the courthouse . Is the opinion of
outsiders. It Is the only town In the
county having any sort of railroad
facilities. The Seaboard Air Line. At?
lantic Coast Line,Tidewater and West?
ern and the Richmond-Petersburg
electrlo line paea through the village.
The Tidewater and Western la plan?
ning a standard gauge system which
will open a vast district, and which
will eventually have its terminal In
Richmond. The depot In Chester la
the only one maintained by the Sea
Hoard in the county, while the Atlantic
Coast Line makes the village one of
its few stopping places between Peters?
burg and Richmond.
CHURCH GETS OPTION
Meade Memorial Episcopal Church Se?
cure Lot I pen Which ta Build.
An option was yesterday secured by
the vestry of the Meade Memor'al
Episcopal Church on a large lot at
the corner of Thirteenth and Perry
Streets, upon which the congregation
plan to erect a new home.
The property has a frontage of 132
feet and depth of 165 feet. It Is ad?
mirably situated on a slight elevation,
which Is well adapted to the plans
which have been submitted. The
building to .be erected will cost ap?
proximately SlS.Oi'O. A large portion
of this amount has been pledged. It is
thought that the construction work
will fcegln before spring.
HEAR PROTEST TO-DAY
The Committee on Streets, which
was expected to take up the matter
of the delay in the construction of the
new Mayo Bridge, failed of a quorum
yesterday. They will meet this after?
noon at 4:30 o'dlock, at which time
the protests of a large number of
Southside business men will be heard.
These parties, who do a large 'business,
calling for the use of the bridge, are
greatly inconvenienced by the delay.
A committee representing the South
Richmond and Chesterfield Business
Men's Association will also appear.
IN POLICE INSPECTION
Police of Third District, ta New tJat
feeaaa. Show Up Well.
Resplendent in their handsome new
winter uniforms, fourteen of the South
side's finest returned yesterday after?
noon from the annual police inspection
Headed by Captain Alexander S.
Wright, the men of the Third Dis?
trict made an impressive showing.
During their absence the Third Sta?
tion was inspected. As usual it was
spick and span and fairly shone from
many cleanings. The grounds, which
are the especial pride of Captain Lips
comb and Sergeant Vest, came in for
great praise.
DRUNK GIVES TROUBLE

ty police labor was shown yesterday al

The Make-good
Tobacco
Whether you smoke it in a jimmy pipe or as a cigarette*
Take it from any angle, Prince Albert simply measures right
up to every idea of what a smoke should be. Pack in your old
jimmy and it opens up a new delight in pipe smoking. Roll up
a cigarette and you have the finest paper-coated smoke ever com
pounded. Burns evenly, with none of that die-out-between
whiffs habit. And doesn't burn up in flash like dried-out, chaff
brand tobaccos. P. A. is long burning and it's handy for
cigarette smokers because it is easily handled on a windy day.
Put this on ice: Prince Albert won't bite your
tongue. The sting is taken out by the patent
process that we spent three years and a fortune
to perfect.
Now, Mr. Man?you who think you can't
smoke a pipe?give P. A. the third degree in
YOUR jimmy pipe. You'll find all its
promises right in bloom.
