PREPARATIONS FOR BIG FARMERS AL

PREPARATIONS FOR A BIG FARMERS AL
LANCE DAY FOR OCTOBER I'd.
The Farmers Alliances of the State ale
making preparations to have big day on
Thursday, Oct. ID, at the Staunton Fair.
Col. L. l.. Polk of North Carolina, the
President of the National Farmers Ali
ance, who will speak on that day,
is said to be one of the most remarka-
BILE orators of the time. He addressed an
audience of ten thousand people at Chicago
and another in Illinois of seven thousand.
The scenes that followed his eloquent ad-
dresses there are said to have been full of
fraternal feeling for their farmer brethren
of the Southern States. Col. II. J. Wilt
ans of this county, who has seen Col. Polk,
says he is most remarkable orator. Capt.
E. A. Fulcher, of the Augusta Coun-
ty Alliance, informs us that the Alliances
of the State will notify their membership
of the proposed address of Col. Polk here,
and the attendance will be unprecedented.
The Woodstock Herald speaking of the
Baldwin District Fair, says:
This is one of the best fairs in the State, its
officers being gentlemen of broad views, push
ing and energetic. The Secretary, Capt. e..
Julian Pratt, is just the man for the position,
full of skillful energy, genial and courteous.
1t is a pleasure to shake his hand.

Condition of the County Jail.

Messrs. Jos. A. Waddell, Jos. B. Wood
ward, J. Howard Wayt, W. H. Norman
and DR.. J. B. Catlett, the Committee ap-
pointment by the Judges of the Augusta
County Court and Staunton Hastings
Court to examine into the condition of the
jail have made their report. After describ-
ing the contracted and unhealthy accom-
modations for prisoners, the committee
makes these suggestions
That the space for inmates is entirely too
contracted and limited, the average number
only twenty -four. Yet nine of these are con-
fined in one cell 16H by 1917. The largest
number of inmates at any time since the war is
thirty-seven If this number were now in the
jail, its accommodations would be entirely in
ADEQUATE however much crowded.
We recommend that the whole of the Jail
building be used for Jail purposes, and that
a residence for the jailor be built on the adj
Joining lot, which has So feet front and runs
back 40 to 80 feet. The whole of the interior
of the present jail-buiiding should be remOd-
eled by a competent architect to effect proper
ventilation and give proper space.
We further suggest the propriety of a
chain-gang, which would conduce to the
health Of the male prisoners, ana, IN some OF
them at least, inspire fear of punishment
which should 60 far toward the prevention
Of crime.
We are of the opinion that the Jail needs
immediate attention, on account OF It's bad
sanitation and its contracted space.
The county Board of Supervisors, the
jail being the property of the county, have
taken the bull by the horns in direct fash
ion, and on last Thursday appointed
Messrs. Charles M. Patrick, E. A. Fulcher
and w. A. Burnett, Committee to tex
anime the feasibility of buying property
and building new jail-building and sell
ing the present jail property. and also the
cost of remodelling the present property
according to the latest improvements with
regard to sanitation and security" and to
examine other jails to get information to
that end. The Board are on the right
track; the county jail is no credit to the
county and there is no way short of thor
ough rebuilding and charging it, OIL erect
ing a new one, that will meet the trouble.

The New Law Against Lotteries.

If, as an old policy player has estimated,
Stanton and Augusta county contribute
S., 600 q month to the Louisiana State Lot
terry. that institution IS about to lose a val
liable patron. The anti-lottery law passed
by Congress was signed by the President
and went into effect last Friday. A tele
gram from New Orleans of last Tuesday
says that already the business in the regis
tered letter department Of that post office
has fallen off 40 per cent. and a reduction
of the force in that department is contem-
plated. The lottery people are turning, it
says, to the express companies. The new
law prohibits any newspaper with a lottery
advertisement in it being sent through the
mails, and last Saturday night the Wash
ington Sunday Chronicle containing one
was sent back to the publication Office by
the Washington postmaster. The new law
makes it a criminal offence to mail any
lottery communication, letter, ticket,
money order, check OIL draft, and Furnishes
a bank which attempts to operate for lot

'sThree States Tunnel on the Elkhorn Elk
tension of the Norfolk & Western Ry. Ii
is of solid rock, nearly a mile long and will
require two years for it's completion.
1t seems to be pretty clear now that at
the sale of the Shenandoah Valley Ry. next
Tuesday, the Richmond & Danville Sys
tenn, the Chesapeake & Ohio, and the Nor
folk & Western will all be bidders. The
contest will be lively one.
The probability that the Chesapeake 4
Ohio will have line from Gordonsville t.
Washington is emphasized by the fact that
among the officers of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Land Improvement Company, whose mis-
sion is supposed to be to operate around
Gordonsville, are Henry 7. Wickham, De
catur Axtelle, T. o. Barlow, Geo. G.. Stew

The staunton Chamber of Commerce Should
Attend to This
We have heretofore published the

We have heretofore published the fact
that a movement backed by it's proportion
of the capital, is Oh foot in Highland coun-
ty for telephone line to Staunton. 1t is
something which, if Staunton does not take
an interest III, and that promptly-will turn
to Harrisonburg for assistance. Our mer
chants know what the value of fast mai
is with any trading section, too well not to
appreciate what telephone to Highland
would be to their business. A letter from
MI. w. II. Matheney of Monterey, dated
last Monday, says
II think the cost of the entire construc-
ton will be about 81 300. Of this sum We
have raised $3.50 here and are now waiting
for Staunton to do her part. We desire to
begin the construction as soon as possible
The Staunton Chamber of Commerce
should take this matter in hand with
promptness. The matter is in a shape to
be easily and cheaply carried out, and ii
would be profitable to the trade of Staun-
ton if it cost four times the money.

Extending the Limits of tie Citv,

On Friday last, the property holders Of
Basic City voted on the question Of ex-
tending the limits Of the city. The two
thirds vote in it's favor was gotten and the
limits will be extended in Northern and
Westerly direction. The new hotel there
is nearly finished and presents a handsome
appearance, though it's effect is badly
marred by an ungainly new frame house
erected in front Of it, which breaks the
view. The Basic City company ought to
buy and remove the new house.
A few days ago, party OF Pennsylva-
MANS blasting out foundation for a

of manganese. The whole country side
there seem to be full Of ores Of one kind OF

Shendun, is the only barn that Sheridan
missed burning along his route in the Val

wheat in it, and an old colored man who

troopers what that building was, said it
was nothing but all old building with moth
ing in it, and they passed it by. 1t has the
distinction of being the only one now
standing that was standing on Sheridan 5
