With the first of the month Messrs.
Williams and Montague have been re-

made No. ! records, as officials, and
many personal friends as gentlemen
and citizens. We welcome the new
men who take their places, and hope
their official lives may be long and
successful, and their sojourn here all
that could be desired. Messrs. Oden
aud Coward will remain on duty for
the present. Mr.. ]. l.. w. Baker has
also been relieved by Deputy Collec-
tor Pownall. MIR. Bakers record is
very creditable, and he made friends
with all with whom he came in con-
tact. We are under obligations to
him for his kindness and courtesy
and valuable assistance rendered, and
heartily agree with Collector White,
who says it is gratifying to be
brought into contact with gentle
men like Mr.. Baker in official bust
ness. 1t is generally understood that
Messrs. Baker and Oden have made
business engagements that will take
them to Virginia. We regret to lose
them as citizens, and hope success
may attend them.

To the teachers of Berkeley County
the issuing of certificates is a serious
matter, and should be held most sa-
credly so. The obligations of an Ex-
aminer are no less weighty and re-
sponsible than those of Judge or
Jury. An honest and fair judge talks
little about his cases and less about
his decisions, and just jury never re-
hearses its verdict outside of the jury
room. Public School Examiners
should be men of discretion and good
Judgment prudent, competent, con-
sistent and hold their Office inviolate,
doing their duty conscientiously
between their God and their fellow
man, and when SO done let it stand
without word for or against or in
the interest of any man,-friend or
foe. In the performance of an official
duty, he who talks at random before
or after such performance, shows
that he has not done his honest duty,
and he who would be friend of your
friend and friend of your enemy, will
do anything disreputable. The public
applicant for any place or trial is en-
titled to the reasonable assurance that
he has had fair and impartial treat
ment, no matter how unworthy he may
be or how incompetent, or how utterly
he fails. But when one or majority
of his superiors or judges give evil
dence by much contradictory outside
and inside stalk /" that they did not
perform their part of the duty assign
ed to them, then thereshould be a high
er authority to declare their acts null
and void

From Winchester Leader.

MooNsHINERs.- The Times, Quicks-
burg, Shenandoah county, says:
About 2 O'Clock on the morning of
July 18th the United States officers
made raid on a lot of moonshiners
on Little Stony Creek, about I3 miles
north. The officers found four stills,
which they destroyed, and arrested
two men-ISaac Mole and Thos. Mil
ler-for illicit distillIng, and took
them to Harrisonburg and lodged
them in Jail, They were subsequent
ly bailed out to appear at the October
term of U. S. Court.
Mr.. Thos. Cover purchased in Chi
cago "a car loads of hides averaging
40, 900 pounds to the car. He could
have realized over $4,000 and not
moved them. They are now arriv-
ing in this city and are being wagon
ed to his Capon Bridge Tannery. This
large purchase cost about S3.400 per
car or equal to an outlay of $4,000.
We are pleased to learn that last year
was prosperous one for this enter

A row occurred ON the incoming
Accommodation train, tuesday night
between a number of Charlestown
and Winchester " bloods" returning
from the picnic at Island Park. The
trouble is said to have arisen over a
girl. but it is likely whiskey played
its usual part. 1t was regular knock
down affair and occurred in the Ia.

the women and children, and it is not
surprising, for we are informed win
dows and lamps were broken during
the melee and the lights extinguish-

was stopped near Charlestown and
several of the rowdies put off. We
have not heard whether any of the
parties were arrested or not, nor
whether any one was seriously hurt.

THE HERALD is in receipt Of let
tiers from Messrs. Dodd, Albright and
Lamar, bearing on the Pitsnogle GER
tificate question. While not taking
sides with any one, we must decline
the further use of our columns, for
the reason that more persons are be-
coming implicated in the controver-
sy and the end further off than ever
unless we OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES " the
whole business. We advised all par
ties to stop before they had begun.
There is nothing to be gained by pub
lie controversies. Like lawsuits you
are the loser, no matter if you
win the case the loser in public
opinion and the loser in your own es-
timation, for knowing best ourselves
how much we are wronged or how
right and just our cause, we see the
more clearly that our opponent has
only to stir up the muddy water and
we are in it as deep as himself. Time
and the better judgment of the peo-
pie bring all things right in the end q.
So all parties interested will find by
exercising patience and forbearance.
Still later another communication
comes to hand from Mr.. G. H. Hor-
ner, in regard to the letter he wrote
Mr.. Syester. The MS. we now have
would fill page Of THE HERALD.
Mr.. Horner very properly is opposed
to having the matter go into public
prints, as the NEST Of it was of pri-
vate nature. He will see, then, as well
as all concerned do, that the only way
to stop is TO STOP.
1t would seem to the casual observ-
er that too much Talking out of
School" has already been done, to the
discredit of the Office of examiner.
