of the most severe storms that has

storm came from the northwest about
3 O'Clock IN the afternoon and it's

Mr.. Butler Gets His Present

On Friday about noon there
arrived in Winchester a darkey who
was as nonplussed as it could be
possible to find anyone. He came
in on Baltimore and Ohio freight,
and had in charge valuable horse
consigned to Mr.. +. G. Butler, of
Clarke county.
When the car arrived at its desti-
nation, which was Winchester, the
negro alighted and in few mo-
ments found himself in the greatest
quandary he had ever experienced.
True he had arrived at his destina
ton, so far as the train went, but
there the matter ended. Apparently
no one knew Mr.. Butler, or could
tell the man where the gentleman
was 10 whom the horse was
snmSigncd.
The man knew not what Ia 10.
IN 'hc car was the horse, aud the
animal had arrived At the place to
which it had been shipped. Inqui.
ries proved futile; no one seemed to
h'I"A the man, although he is a
wealthy and prominent resident of
Clarke county.
Finally the negro was sent to the
Shenandoah Valley National Bank,
and there learned the whereabouts
Of his destination. Mr.. Henry
Noonan, the liveryman, had the
horse unloaded from the car and
dispatched the animal in care of the
groom to Mr.. Butler, at "Annfield."
The horse was valuable trotting
mare, which had been presented to
the gentleman by DIR. Atkinson, of
Bristol, Tenn, and had been assign.
ed to Winchester ia charge of the
negro.

A Letter From Mr.. LOutham.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA,
July %, 1902.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA,
July %, 1902.
Editor of CLARKE COURIER:
Several months have elapsed since
sent line to your valuable paper.
Recently the School of Methods
assembled in this city. Over
thousand teachers were here. As far
as my knowledge extends, only one
came from Clarke, viz, Mrs. Lily
Glover. one of the teachers constitu-
ting the competent corps of the Ber-
ryville High School. saw her for
few moments only. 1t goes with
out saying tnat it is a benedictiOn to
see any one from Clarke. Henry and
Tom and May, my children, were all
pupils of Mrs. Glover and the foun-
dation that she enabled them to
build has served them a good stead.
| believe Henry and Tom were school
mates of the present editor of the
COURIER. Henry Is located ut Will
liamsburg, the first capital of Vir-
Sinia. Tom is near Richmond, the
present capital of Virginia, and | am
at Charlottesville. A very sprightly
boy in Greene Co., upon being asked,
the other day, what was the capital
of the Uuited States, answered
promptly, Charlottesville.
Well. he came within hundred
miles of it. BY the way. a gentleman
passing this way, recently, asked a
resident of this place, "Whst is the
population of Charlottesville ?" lie
replied: Charlottesville has no pop
ulation at present, but the Legisla-
ture has been applied so for charter
for one and we confidently expect it
after awhile" The gentleman said
"Is this the place where Thomas
Jefferson lived?" The innocent reply
was that he had never heard of that
name before. "Well, how many
students are there at your Universe
typ" Here again the answer was not
definite, but the statement, although
somewhat exaggerated, was that he
supposed about ten thousand 100000
from the fuss they made when they
came down town.
Not long ago, | was travelling
through the mountains of Nelson
county. Overtaking y man on the
SOLITARY SUBMITS" and not knowing
how else to introduce a conversation,
| asked him to what church he be-
longed. He replied that he belonged
to no church. Upon my asking why,
he replied there are just 1900 diff
ferent denominations in the world
and if he were to join either one of
them he would run the risk of max
lag l6999 mistakes. Whether he was
right as to the number IF ecclesiasti-
cal dIferentiatiOns or not, / am not
prepared to say, but ont of 20 many,
! suggested that he probably had n
choice. Well yes, me replied 81 rather
like The Dunkards better than any
other denomination, but think they
are wrong. rs they baptize with the
face downward and as baptism is an
emblem of burial, / think they are
mistaken, as people are always buried
face upward"
Not being versed in theological
lore, did not persue the inquiry
along that line bnt asked him TO chow
me the crab-tree falls, by many con
sidered the greatest natural curiosity
IN Virginia. Being near them, he
readily did so. These falls are near
thr head waters Of Tye River in Mel
son county. A succession of falls
800 feet long. have seen the cele

WASHINGTON LETTER.


WASHINGTON. July %, 1902.
A striking evidence of the close
utilization of those persons who are
the benefciaries of the tariff. and
their determination to conceal from
the public information to which it is
entitled, is furnished by the lack of
success which has attended the efforts
of Judge Griggs to secure copy of
the Especial Discount Sheet issued
by American exporters. While it is
a well-known fact that American
manufacturers, in numerous instan-
ces, avail themselves of special priv
ileges conferred on them by the tariff
to mulct American consumers, max
ing them pay nearly double what is
paid by foreigners for the same arti-
Giles, Judge Griggs believed that the
authoritative statement of the'Special
Discount Sheet" would bring the
facts home to American voters as
would nothing else. He, therefore.
commissioned an employee of the
democratic committee To obtain one.
Every effort to do SO failed, and a
reward of 500 was offered for copy.
but so far without avail. Ii is also
notable that number of the leading
newspapers of New York City refused
TO insert the advertisement which the
Judge desired to place in their col
umns at their regular advertising
rates, stating that they could not
afford to antagonize class of men
who were extensive advertisers. This
ground for refusal explains the nu-
merous misleading editorials which
appear in these same papers and the
frequent perversion of facts in which
they indulge.
While the Committee has been un:
able to secure copy of this particu-
lar sheet, it has procured copy of
the export price list. and, although
the discount sheet would show a far
greater difference in prices, some of
those contained in this list are inter
esting. Wire nails.for instance, which
sell in this country for $2.25 per keg,
are sold to foreigners for $l.3O per
keg. Barbed wire, which sells here
for SO per hundred pounds, sells
abroad for $500 per hundred. SHOW
els, which sell here for $3.50 per
dozen, sell there for $3.50 per dozen.
Fruit jars are listed for sale abroad
for 20 cents less per dozen than the
same article here. wash boards for
Sl.3O per dozen less, typewriters for
$40 each less than here, for the same
machine, tin plate for 81 per hun.
dred pounds less, and SO on. And il
Is known that discounts are allowed
even from the prices here quoted.
Judge Griggs regards it Ms inconceis
able that American consumers will
be willing to continue paying these
higher prices for the benefit of the
foreign consumers, once they realize
the facts. IL am satisfied that the
Americans are paying twenty per
cent. more for American made goods
than for the foreign" said the
Judge yesterday, "and do not be-
lie'e that they will be willing to con
tinue SO doing"
While the Republicans are truck
ling to the trnsts, an announcement
hiss come from abroad which has
startled them like the handwriting
on the wall. IL is TO the effect that
the Gar has reqn-stcJ conference
of the powers to take steps to elimi
nate the trnsts from their position as
u controlling factor ia the prices Of
commodities. While the administra
