THE DISPENSARY IDEA.

We have heard considerable talk
recently concerning another fight
for local option for Clarke county
and Berryvil!c, and while there is
probably no one here who can
speak with aui orisy as TO the
trnthfulness of the rumor that such
a fight will be made as soon as
possible, we believe that the Anti
Saloon League intends to secure
local option for the entire State. if
possible.
We are led to that belief by the
extreme activity of the League at
this Time. and the fact that the
Stale has been divided into districts
for the better working of the field
force ~ the Northern district being
in charge Of Rev. K. j. Richardson,
formerly of Berryvillc. with head
quarters at Falls Church. Va.
Everyone who has read the Cor
RlEa during the past five years
knows how we stand on the local
option idea. Wcare opposed to it.

death. As friend of mine wrote
me not long ago: please send me
all theeulogies pronounced on dead
members of Congress that YOU can.
There is nothing | like so much to
read about as dead Congressmen. "
And there is nothing SO interesting
to the people and especially to their
pocketbooks, if they did but know
it, as a dead Republican Congress.
The Fifty-ninth Congress. more
than any other in history, PERHAPS,
passed more legislation that smacks
of paternalism and centralized
government, the trend of the times,
made so by the masterful politician
in the White House. The Presi-
dent completely dominated both
branches of the Congress and sway
ed the members to his will in nearly
everything he asked with the ex-
ception of 4 few, and those he will
jam through next winter or smash
the heads of some of the leaders
with that big stick. They seem
to be afraid of him, but why they
should be L do not understand.
because in every instance where
the leaders have taken a determined
stand and told him it would wreck
the party for him to insist on the
things they were objecting To he
always sideStepped and backed
down, just as he did in the railway
rate legislation in the first session
of the last Congress when he sold
out to Aldrich and the railroad
magnateS and let them have their
way and emasculate the bill in
their interests and against those
of the people. And yet the people
believed the Republican stump
speakers in the last campaign when
they asserted that the Republican
party was responsible for the
greatest piece of legislature in
history and that Roosevelt was its
father That assertion is idiotic
rot and yet the people 90 right on
believing it and believing the man
in the White House. That man in
the White House is not a states
man, he is a politician. In the
language of the Hon. John Sharp
Williams, "he is an overrated
author and an moderated politi-
clan. That sizes him up exactly
and the people of this country will
sooner or later find it out, no
matter what they believe at this
time.

THE COUNTRY BOY.

Why is it that so many young
men leave this community every
year and go to seek their life-work
in other fields2
We can name many of our young
fellows who have gone away from
Berryville and Clarke county dur
ing the past few years.
There is only one explanation
for it:
Greater inducements are held
out to honest and healthy young
men in other localities.
If all the money from Clarke
county which has been spent out
side of this County had been spent
within its borders, doesn't it stand
to reason that our business houses
would be larger and more prosper
Gus, and that additional business
enterprises would have been open
ed, and that a large number of
young men land young women. too)
would be holding good positions at
home instead of away
Perhaps you have a boy now in
school; perhaps you want him to
amount to something in this world
perhaps you have been spending
your money outside of the County.
Don't you see that you are cur
failing his chances of success here?
Don't you see that you are build
ing the very road which will take
him away from you, and out into
strange fields!
Don't you realize that you are
not only doing a great injustice to
yourself, but to your children as
welll
The old adage that "a prophet is
not without honor save in this own
country" is not really true; but it
is made to seem true by the very
thing we are talking about.
Spend your money at home.
With your business increased as
1T will naturally increase if our
people spend their money at home,
you will be able to give your chill
dren better education and leave
them better heritage when you
have crossed over the divide"
This is a serious thing.
Take it seriously; think over it;
and then, if you can advance one
single sensible fact or argument in
favor of spending your money
away from home, we would like to
hear it.

l have witnessed the death of
live Congresses and the death of
the Fifty-ninth Congress was very
little different from those that have
preceded it. 1t was marked in the
early days of its last session with
the same laziness and disinclination

same rush and mad scramble to

closing hours. And nothing, as

sible to have prohibition in all of
the States, under United States
law, we would favor it; but we be-
lieve that is impossible, and we
therefore oppose local option.
We have unqualifiedly favored
the Dispensary idea, and still think
it the best form of liquor control.
We favor it for two reasons, as
follows:
First. No intoxicants are sold
by drink" and no drinking is al
lowed on the premises where sold.
By that means the treating" habit
is, to great extent, curtailed.
Second. There are many per-
sons who do not own real property
of any character, and do not pay
taxes In any form. BY the Dis
pensary idea, controlled by the
Corporation, the profits can go to
the support Of Schools and Streets:
the drinkers thus paying a liberal
proportion of the Towns expenses
in these two great items.
The South Carolina dispensary,
which was recently voted out, has
been adversely critisized far and
wide; but as far as we can Judge
from the published reports, the
dispensary was only defeated as a
State institution, and the towns
and cities are left free to take it up
locally if they see fit-just as they
are in Virginia.
We oppose the Inauguration of a
State dispensary, because we think
it gives too much opportunity for
crooked politicians to thrive off of
it; but the Local Dispensary meets
with our full and free approval.
We think, in the matter of Schools
and streets, that BerryvilIe could
really utilize the $4,000 a year
profits which a local dispensary
would show here. In Pulaski last
year, if our recollection is good.
the dispensary cleared over
$4,000. We have not seen a re-
port of the Abingdon dispensary.
but from conversations with gen
tlemen from that section, as well
as a slight knowledge of conditions
prevailing there, we believe it has
prospered.
There are many people who will
drink, even if they have to send
out of the State to get it. Maine.
Vermont and Kansas have shown
this repeatedly.
We think it better for the good
of community to keep all such
expenditures at home. We hope
the people of this town will agree
with us.
If you don't, we will print your
reasons, if you will furnish them.

all the plants except the strongest
in each hill should be DESTROYED.
While the care given To pumpkins
under this method of producing
them give good returns. it will pay
to set apart an area to be devoted
to pumpkins entirely. If pump
kins are TO have the entire use of
the land, the hills, should be ~ feet
apart each way, and two or three
of the strongest plants should be
left in the hill.
Pumpkins will produce m.ell on
any class of soil that is reasonably
fertile. An old pasture or clover
field, or land on which COW peas
have been raised, is n good place TO
grow them. Good compost or well
rotted manure willincrease the crop
considerably, and when manure or
fertilizer is used, it is best to apply
in the hill, mixing it with the soil

Plant Pumpkins in your Corn Fields.

A common way of growing
pumpkins is to plant them i'm the
