Her height is feet, and when she stands

Democratic Audience.

The audience which listened to
the Democratic speakers at Berry
vile last Thursday, Millwood on
Friday, and Boyce on Saturday,
were not disappointed in the doc
trine which was expounded.
One very strong point which
was presented argued for every
man to come out and cast his vote.
There has been for sometime a
movement on foot in Congress to
curtail the representation in the
Southern States.
If the vote in the coming cleo
ton is smaller than usual, as it is
believed by many that it will be,
the Northern Congressman will
have a new point-to put forward in
favor of reducing the South's rep
reSentation.
This is very important, and
every voter who is qualified should
come to the polls and cast his
ballot,

Without Fire or Water.

We have been reliably informed
that the Berryville High School is
without water.
We are also told that there is a
water pipe running into the yard
at the school building, but that it
has never been tapped so that the
school can have the benefit of it.
1t seems to us that the pipe
should be tapped at once and the
school given the use of our excel
lent water system.
Monday a portion of the school
was forced to close because there
was no fire, or not enough fire. to
keep the children warm.
This matter should also be look
ed into by the school trustees and
should not be allowed to occur
again.
The health of school children is
something that should not be neg
lected, and we certainly feel that
the lack of water and the lack of
proper heat is a neglect to the
health of the children.
BY all means let the authorities
take action at once.

Rural Delivery Notes.

Carrier Grigsby has purchased
n handsome wagon for use on his
Route. OF the four carriers leay-
ing Berryville every morning, only
one is now without Government
wagon.
The Rural Free Delivery has
not been in operation quite three
months in Clarke county, but al
ready there are 2,O3S people being
served with daily mail. That is
an average of $40 on each Route.
We have heard hundreds of
comments on the Clarke county
Rural Deiivery7but not one single
complaint. That speaks well for
the carriers and the officials in
Berryville.

Early Morning Fire.

Fire was discovered about )
O'Clock yesterday morning in the
rear room of the Berryville Supply
Company's store.
The blaze had very good start
before the fire company arrived
on the scene, but hard work soon
placed the flames under control.
Thirty minutes of water-pouring
completely extinguished the blaze.
The building, which was almost
completely destroyed, is the prop
erty of Mrs. Eugenia Glover.
Water badly damaged the seen
cry in Winston Hall, next to the
store, and flooded the storeroom of
j. w. Gaver under the Opera
House.
The total damage from fire,
smoke and water will probably be
covered by $1,000.
There is absolutely no clew as to
the origin of the fire. There was
no stove or other heating arrange
ment in the building which caught.
nor had there been any.
The store closed about 10 o'clock
Monday night, and there had been
no one in the place between that
hour and the time the fire was dis
covered.
1t is believed by some that the
blaze was of incendiary origin,
although nothing to prove this
belief has been discovered.

n. 7. Herald Forecast.

Reports received by the New

dents in doubtful States" Indicate
that their political leaning on
national issues is at present as fol-
lows:
Democratic - Maryland. Mon

Republican-New jersey. Con-

In view of the record-breakin6
registration in New York City,
which closed Saturday night, the
Herald ventures no forecast of the
vote of New York State.
In West Virginia, Delaware,
Indiana and Colorado the chances
in favor of Roosevelt are consider
ed so slight that the Democrats
may be easily able to overcome
them.
The Herald's forecast. therefore,
indicates the election of Roosevelt
if the voting were to take place
now.
In order to win Judge Parker
must carry 229 electoral votes.

Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors held a
very lengthy meeting last Friday.
The session opened in the morn
ing and lasted practically all day.
Claims were audited for sheep
killed to the amount of 1855. go.
and there will probably be other
claims presented before the ac-
count is closed at the next meeting.
The amount on hand from dog
tax which can be expended for
sheep killed is only $214.1s, and
the claims allowed will be paid pro
rata out of that fund.
The bill of ID. r. Eskey for
$311.25 for rodding the public
buildings in the County was order
ed paid.
The sum allowed Mr.. Eskey is
more than double the amount ex-
pected to be paid for the services
indicated, as it was estimated by
the contractors that $3.50 would
cover the cost.
The County Treasurer was di-
rected to pay the authenticated
claims for work done on the Ashby
Gap Turnpike.
r. y. Basford, representing the
Nelson & Buchanan Bridge Com
pany appeared before the Board
and asked for the first payment on
the bridges. After some argument,
this was allowed and the Chairman
was ordered to pay the Company
the sum of S13, 322, and divide the
checks equally between the First
National Bank and the Bank of
Clarke County, as the Bridge
funds are deposited in both Banks.
A committee of two was ap-
pointed to inquire into the reason
for the delay of the Nelson &
buchanan Company in not COM
pleting the bridges as specified in
the contract. The bridges were to
have been turned over to the
County for travel by October /,
and the County has up to this time
lost considerable revenue which
would have been received from
tolls if the Bridges had been COM
pleted. as contracted for.
The Board settled the Railroad
and County Levies of 1903 and the
Dog Tax of 1908 with the County
Treasurer.
n large number of other matters
which came up for action were
tabled or action postponed.
On account of the lateness of the
hour the Board adjourned with a
large number of matters untouched.
These will probably be taken up
at the next meeting, which will Ice
held November II.
