Primary Set Aside.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee OF Clarke County met in the
office of Chairman Chas. NJ. Broun
last Saturday and set aside their
action of former meeting where
by they had declared that Primary
should be held on July %.
This action was taken on account
of the fact that complications seem
to have arisen in Page county.
As soon as the Democratic Com
mittee of Page County can arrange
their differences, the committees
will again meet and fix the date for
the primaries.
1t Is expected that the Page
county factions will get together
in a few days and fix up their diff
ferences.

AutOiStS Have Narrow Escape.

Mr.. ). L. Hoover. general
manager OF the Winchester aud
Washington City Railway Com
pany, with a party consisting of
Messrs. :. II. IIansbrough. Gar
land Hansbrough. Jacob Yost and
Charles B. Dooley, had very mar
ROY escapes from serious injury
and perhaps death. last Friday
evening, while on their way to
Winchester from Berryville.
Mr.. Hoover was driving his big
automobile at moderate rate of
speed through town. and, when al
most opposite the residence of Mr..
ChaS. NJ. Broun, turned to the side
of the road to avoid dip" in the
roadway. As the machine swung
to the side, one of the rear tires
exploded, and the rear OF the auto
mobile "skidded" intoa heavy tele-
phone pole, tearing one side of the
tonneau into splinters. The gen
tlemen who occupied the rear seat
jumped to the opposite side of the
machine and saved themselves from
injury. Only for their quick move
1t : possible that they might have
been crushed against the telephone
pole.

THE CoURIER's REPLY.
please copy,

We do not think. and never have
thought, that we were going out of
our way to criticise the Battletown
School Board.
In an editorial on July >. 1905.
we criticised what we thought was
an error on the part of the Battle
town School Board, for selling the
Academy Lot for $765 when we
were prepared 10 prove that $500
had been offered. We were in
error in attributing the sale to the
BattletoMn Board. aS il WAS made
,, by the County Board; and in the
following issue of tle COURIER
Uuly 12) we said, on authority al
the committed of the County Board:
The sum of $500 cash was offer
ed by business man of Berryville,
coupled with the condition that he
should be placed in possession oi
the entire Academy lot, but the
offer was refused by the Commit.
tee for the following reasons
That two sections of the lot had
been fenced i'm and occupied foI
many years by two property
owners;
7 That there was grave doubt as
to whether the above mentioned
parties could be forced to give up
these tracts by suit at law;
That's compromise offer of $40
and Sl25, respectively. was made
and accepted for the lots, in pref
erence to suit at law, possible
loss, and certain cost;
That the committee was of the
opinion thst the compromise offer:
of $40 and 1926, with the additiona
sale at 5000, without any further
litigation, we're better than the one
at $500, coupled with the condition.
named, and which they did not be
lieve would have netted 5000; ant
so accepted them"
Wcpublished the above in justice
to the committee. and it was &C
cepted by them as a statement o
fact.

,Jsmes w. Foley (white), who's,

DEAR COURIER:
You seem to go out Of your way
TO criticise the Battletown School
Beard.
It's all right to criiicise public
officials when derelict. but the
critic should be armed with fact
not fiction.
Some time ago you undertook
to criticise said Board az To the sale
of the Old Academy lot. saying il
took less price when it was offered
a greater. When the truth was said
Board had nothing to do with the
lOld Academy Lot, and the price
CS765) obtained for it was by long
odds the best offered and considered
by some as just simply enormous.
One very prominent gentleman
of Berryvillc offered one hundred
dollars. Twohundred dollars $4,000
was the highest bid. | think made
by white person.
