SI,A00 Per Acre.

At a partition sale of land at the
Court House last Friday 7is acres
were knocked down for Sll, 200, or
l,400 per acre. 1t was part OF the
old Williams farm which has been alb.
sorbed by the Fedora! Lead Company
and in which the Shannon heirs held
about one.third interest. 1t lies near
the Flat River road and embraces the
land on which the "Moonlight Saloon"
stands. The company bid it in, and
would probably have paid even more
to secure control of the land.

The Deadly Buckeye

Mention is made in several papers
of cattle being poisoned and dying
from eating buckeye, says the Liberty
Advance. The timber has no CONNER
cial value whatever, and farmers
would avoid great risk of loss to
stock by cutting and killing out all
the buckeye on their places. 1t is al
so said that wild cherry tree leaves,
when cut and allowed to wilt and be
eaten by cattle, are almost certain
death.

CROP rms YEAR IN sEHKELEY is
OF ENORMOUS VALUE.
GroS srs fn Section Say the Retnrns
Wili BE Larger Than EVER
Apples In Frederick

k'ANN@ - 'ANN% NH>
Conservative estimates ON
the part Of fruit growers Of
Berkeley county place the value
of the apple crop of the coun
ty at figure higher than was
ever reached before, even ex'
ceeding the bumper crop of
two years ago, when the re-
turns directly and indirectly
amounted to more than a quarts
er Of a million dollars. This
year, it is claimed, the crop will
be about equal with a little
better price per barrel. bring
ing the total revenue to orchard
lists, pickers and barrel makers
to something like 1915. 900. 1t is
thought the crop will run pretty
close to 100, 200 barrels, all of
the best average quality in re-
cent years.
A large number of the or
chards have already gone into
barrels and been shipped away,
although there is yet an enorm-
Gus amount of work to be done
before the last tree is stripped
of its fruit. Large forces of
men are now at work in differ
ent sections of the county, with
opportunity for more, but the
work of picking the fruit will
continue for several weeks vet.
Berkeley county is now re-
cognized as among the most
valuable apple producing sec
tions of the country, and there
is little telling what great sums
will be pored into the Golfers of
the orchardists in the near
future. Buyers from all parts
of the country, attracted by the
superior quality of the Berkes
ley county product, have been
here for weeks, buying up
orchards that could be purchase
ed at good figures. This crop
and the coming meeting of the
state horticultural society will
/ add much to the fame of the

I'm 1hree Games-t1ther Contests
Have Been Arranged.

The Berkeley bowlers lost to
Chambersburg at the latter
place Monday night, the home
players winning three straight
games with a margin Of los
points. Ofthe contest the Pubs
lie Opinion says:
The new bowling alleys at
the Casino were opened very
auspiciously Mondaynight when
the Casino team met the Berke-
ley Club team of Martinsburg
in an interesting contest. The
result of the match was victory
for the locals, in which they
made up for numerous defeats
at the hands of their Martins
burg rivals last winter.
"There was a good crowd
present during the progress
Of the match and there were
rooters for both sides. The
Martinsburgers brought with
them contingent of good fell
lows and a pleasant evening
was spent. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Allen B. Nell bowled the
most consistent game for Mar
tinsburg, while Contractor s..
A. Westenhaves followed him
as a good second. AL. Viewer
was the third man on the team
who had never bowled in a
match in Chambersbusg before.
Messrs. Horsfall and Van Horn
were here last winter several
times. Clerk of the Courts, l..
Dewitt Gerhardt managed the
Martinsburg team and acted as
scorekeeper during the match.
A return game will be played
in Martinsburg in a few weeks
and a series will be arranged
for the winter .

County Court Asks Delegates to
Back a Bill In Legislature.
lax CASES NOT YET SsTTIEO
Special Session to Be Held on Friday
Next Suits For Divorce Filed
With Clerk Gerhardt.

Win Clerk Gerhardt,
The regular September session
Of the Berkeley County court
having proved too short to dis
pose of all the tax appeal cases,
the court met ia special
session on Friday Of this week
to consider the last of them.
lt is not believed, however.
that decisions will be rendered
for several days. The work of
hearing the 43 appeals from
the valuations placed on prop
erty by the tax commissioners
proved a somewhat longer and
harder task than the members
lof the court anticipated, hence
the necessity for a special ses.
sion.
The County court has arrived
at the conclusion that it can
formulate no rules or laws for
the government Of automobiles
on the county roads. but at its
last session decided to ask the
representatives in the legisla~
ture from this county to intro
duce and endeavor to have
passed law to regulate the
speed and conduct of the ma
chimes and their drivers on tie
public highways of the state.
This action is the outgrowth of
an appeal to the court on the
part Of number of people for
some sort of protection against
the reckless driving charged
to the discredit Of some Of the
local machine men, and if the
sentiment in other sections Of
the state is as pronounced as
in Berkeley county such a law
lis among the possibilities.
Road supervisors A. Oden
and 5. +. Ashton, of the. Gers
rardstown district, rendered
their designations. They were
accepted and John Il. Helsley
and r. d. Rauch were appoints
ed to fill the vacancies.
