The reports from
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1878-03-07

The Quakers in England and Wales now
number, according to Mr.. Barclay. one Of
their well known members, only 1900. A
few years ago they were estimated at 100,
600. In 1900 there were 10000 in Great
Britain.

WOODSTOCK,

A town in the Valley, fifty miles from Staun-
ton, give similar accounts. DR.. Hanson, a
well-known N. D., says that he believes
there is something in the morphine Of the
Shenandoah Valley that creates the craving
Tor the evil drug. Mr.. Albert Rogers, who
lives at
WINCHESTER,
Says that the farmers in that vicinity have
recently become terribly addicted to opium
eating. He says there were three Yankees
who removed to the Winchester neighbour
hood. About q year ago they went to farm
ing. Neither of them had ever tasted opium.
Now they each eat pound month. There
is no telling
WHEN THIS EVIL WILL END.
The general feeling seems to be that the
only way to stop it is to force legislation.
Opium ought not to be allowed to come into
the Valley. But the trouble is, thatso many
people use it that it will be hard matter to
find enough with clean skirts to carry public
sentiment against it. X. x.
