Switchboard for Tslspone Compay

After many delays, the switch
board of the Frederick and Clarke
Telephone Company is being in
stalled over the Bank of Clarke
County this week. and it is hoped
that all the phone subscribers will
be connected to the new exchange
within the next ten days.
AS soon as the connections are
made, the local customers will ring
TO the Berryville central instead of
Winchester, as heretofore.
Since the Frederick and Clarke
company installed phones here, it
has been the custom for no charge
TO be made for the use of other
peoples phones, but the first step
after the installation of the Berry
vile central will be an order pro-
hibiting the use of telephone by
other than the subscriber. or his
immediate family or clerks, and a
charge will be made for every call
by others.
At first it was intended to charge
from 81 to So per year additional
for the privilege of private line,
instead Of the present party-line
system. but that was found not
feasible. and the plan Of charging
for all messages not sent by the
subscriber or his family or clerks
was adopted.
The service will be greatly inn
proved under the new plan, and
the present party-line disagree,
ableness (caused by people who
habitually listen To all conversations
over the line) will be done away
with. If a non subscriber uses
your phone, you had better make
him pay you, for the bill will -bt
rendered yOu by the company.
In fact. the new idea seems al
Improvement over the present
scheme, in every way possible anC

Town to Repay S922.

When the FIVE Berryville saloons
close up on the evening of Tues
day, December II, to be closed for
at least two years, they will have a
rebate of SlS4.40 each coming to
them from the Corporation for the
135 days of unused license from
December is. 1907, 60 April 30.
1908, inclusive.
Each of the saloons pay license
of $500 yer year. which for the
present license year (which has 366
days on account of February, 1905,
having 29 days. is equal to deci-
NAL less than Sl.36 2-5 cents per
day. Multiply that sum by 135
(the number of days remaining in
the license year, and the result is
s1s4.40. Multiply this sum by
five (the number Of saloons) and a
total of 1922 even is reached.
From present-indications. there
will be no trouble i'm securing this
money, although it was stated at
the Council Meeting of Monday
night that-one of the saloon-kcepers
had stated thache would institute
suit against the town if his money
was not repaid b., o a. M, on the
morning of December is. That
was probably only taIlS-just l;ttc
hot air" on the part of one otthc
disgruntled saloon men. Most Of
them take it very sensibly. Ii
can't be helped: so why not grin

A WORD In ADVANCE

Two weeks from today, Berry
vile will be dry" for the first time
in practically twenty years, 1t
has been so voted by a majority of
the votes cast at the election of
September II, 1907, and later con-
frmed by the ruling of the Circuit
Court last Saturday morning.
AS readers of the COURIER will
recall, we opposed the abolition of
saloons here in the local option
fight of December, 1904, which re-
suited in wet" victory, but we
did not take any active part in the
campaign which preceded the cleo
ton of September II. which result
eo in dry" victory by a good
majority-62 votes.
Our|reasons for refusing to take
an active part in the late campaign
were because we did not think that
the saloons in Berryville (or at least
some of them) had been as carefully
conducted and legally ordered as
should have been the case. Some
saloons have been conducted in
Berryville since our residence here
that have been models of their
kind, and we would like to mention
these by name, but such mention
would likely bring on a discussion
which we do not care to enter at
this time. So far as / am aware,
the position of the COURIER did not
influence a single vote in the late
election. but we feel secure in say
ing that our position in the previous
fight had considerable effect ON the
result.
Now, the COURIER and It's editor
propose to use every honest efforr
To see that the local option Law
which goes into effect here OF
Wednesday morning, December
is, Is enforced to the letter. !
will be our public and private busi
ness TO report any infractions o
the law to the proper authorities
We ehOpe every right-minded citizel
will feel the same way about it
The law deserves a fair trial. lie
us ali see that such fair trial i
given it. If it results unsatisfac
torily, then there will be ampI
time to suggest changes.

Two Years for Lille Robinson

Lille Robinson, colored, one of

jury last Wednesday afternoon and
sentenced to two years in the pen
itentiary.
She broke down and wept bitter
~ as sentence was pronounced.

term of the Court, as the case was

Costly Pants for Cooper

George Cooper, colored, who

convicted by a jury before the
Circuit Court last Friday, and was

Jail and to pay a fine of $25.

than putting him in Jail. He got

their case.
On the other hand. the case of
the contestees was backed up by
previous decisions and present law
as we'll as the intention ofthe voters.
The COURIER is convinced that q
majority of the voters favor the
abolition of license in Battletown
Magisterial District, as shown by
the great interest taken in the local
option election and the majority IF
90 yotes returned for the "drys."
The will of the majority should
rule, and, as the majority have
voted in favor Of grantiug no saloon

least. every law-abiding and honest

give that law full, free and an
obstructed trial. If it is satisfac-
tory. after Il fair trial, il can be

Appeal Cases Confirmed.

Two cases, appealed from de-
cisions of Justices of the Peace,
were heard before the Circuit
Court last week, and each case re-
suited in a confirmation of the de-
cisions of the Justices.
The first case was that of James
Childs, VS.. Maurice Castleman, a
suit for payment of a bin for certain
work done by Childs, and the Court
confirmed the decision of the Mag
istrate and gave Childs a verdict
for S30.65.
The second case was that of c.
ii. Boxwell, Trustee VS.. d. T.
Shepherd, a suit on unlawful de-
tainer, based upon the claim that
Shepherd had only rented the
Methodist Church property by the
month. Shepherd claimed that he
had rented the property until the
session of the Methodist Conference
(which will meet in March, 1909,
and his contention was sustained
by the Magistrate and confirmed
by the Circuit Court.
Its a rare occurrence to see two
appeals from Magistrate decisions
decided in favor of the appellee
at the same term of Court, and for
that reason the cases excited con
siderable attention.
