Fruit Growers Elect Officers.

The adjourned meeting of the
Clarke County Fruit Growers
Association was held in the Office
of Hon. A. Moore, Jr., last Satur-
day afternoon, when the committee
appointed for that purpose recon-
mended the following officers for
the permanent organization:
President, Col. S. S. Thomas.
Vice President. NJ. III. Reardon.
Secretary and Treasurer, DIR. G.
+. Lippitt.
All Of the officers were elected
as recommended by the committee.
On motion, Col. S. S. Thomas
and DIR. G. +. Lippitt were ap-
pointed a committee to appear be-
fore the meeting of the Board OF
Supervisors of Clarke County and
urge the Board to take the neces-
sary steps and make an appropria-
tion, according to law, for the pur-
pose of having the State officer
from Blacksburg visit the County
and report upon the condition of
the various orchards in regard 10
the San Jose scale and other in
furious insects and diseases.
On motion, the committee on
permanent organization was con
tinued in order that it might per-
feet its report in regard to present
ing a constitution and bylaws for
adoption.
After transacting other business
the meeting adjourned to meet in
Berryville at 3 p. IN. on Saturday,
December 3, 1904.
There are a number of fruit
growers in the County who have
not presented their names for
membership in the organization,
and it is hoped that they will do 50
between this time and the next
meeting, as the association wants
to be in good working order by the
first of the year and keep in close
touch with every fruit raiser in the
County, whether his output OF
fruit is large or small.

one of the prime movers in the
Democratic campaign committee
of 1904.
The COURIER believes. rs we
stated in August last, that the fol-
lowers of Parker, Belmont and
Hill have cooked their goose with
the body of the Democracy. and
we believe that the next election
Will show them either accepting a
radical and liberal Democracy or
they will be found in the Repubh-
can ranks.
We had no patience with the
conservatives" either before or
after the St. Louis convention, and
we believe the result has proven
that many thousands of others have
felt the same way.
In this County many good Dem
ocrats have said to us. Il don't
intend to vote at all this year. l
am opposed to Parker and l am
opposed to Roosevelt. | shall.
therefore, not vote for either one. "
In Clarke county the number of
votes cast for all Presidential can
didates was only 53S, as against
1925 in 1900. OF course number
of these were barred by the new
constitution, but the greater num-
ber were simply dissatisfied with
Democracy 5 candidate and Democ-
racy'S platform.
OF course it is long cry to
1908. but the Democrats who be-
lieve in the honesty and simplicity
of JetferSOnian Democracy cannot
begin too soon to reorganize and
build up the Democratic party or
a liberal and radical basis.
There cannot be two "conserva-
tive" parties in this country. The
Republicans have the monopoly OF
that argument, and the only hop,
for Democratic success is to tax,
the opposite road.
/ As between Parker conservatism
and Bryan radicalism. we will tax,
the latter.
We do not believe that it woulC
be well to nominate Mr.. Bryan
again, although his views are jus
) aS popular now, and we believ
even more so, since the election
than they ever were before, wit

brilliant electrical effects. The
Duel, involving two ladies and two
gentlemen of high rank. The
Sheritf's Courtship, one of the

Since our last issue the official
count in Missouri and Maryland
have changed the result slightly,
by adding Missouri'S entire electo-
raj vote to the Roosevelt column
and dividing the Maryland vote.
In Maryland there will be one
electoral vote for Roosevelt and
seven for Parker.
For the first time in thirty years
one of the solid Southern States
has gone Republican for the Presi-
dency-Missouri.
Now that the smoke of battle
has cleared away, the newspapers
of the country are busy explaining
how it happened. rs
If our readers will remember the
arguments before the St. Louis
convention they will recall the fact
that the so-called conservative
Democrats claimed that Parker
was well and favorably known to
great financial interests and would
command their support. The re-
suit shows that Parker was opposed
by every large manufacturing and
banking institution in the country,
and that more than a million men
who voted for Bryan in 1896 and
1900 voted for Roosevelt this year.
We believe this bears out our
contention before the st. Louis
convention that Parker had abSo-
lutely nothing to commend him tC
the plain people, and it proves that
he was not popular with the mon
eyed interests.
The almost unanimous opinion
among the newspapers of the
country today is that the only hope
for the Democratic party is tC
adopt a liberal and radical platform
and let the conservative and safe
and sane" wing either accept it ol
go over to the Republicans, wher,
they seem to belong.
A very large and prominen
number of journals say that GU
only hope lies in William j. Bryan
as he has now conceded that tn,
money question is not one ol
which the campaign can be made
