REC0LLECTIONS OF A DOLLAR.

If money could really take.
wouldn { the dollars YOU have spent
outside OF Berryville and Clarke
county (when you could as well
have spent them here tell wonder
full tales of their travels
Our home advertising campaign
which was started two weeks ago
has excited "A CRATE deal at comment
thus far, and we have heard many
people say they would trade at
home in future; 30 far. no one has
advanced any good rclsun for
trading abroad" when iho same
goods can be bought at home.
In a conversation which the
editor had with Mr.. G. j. Rixey.
of Alexandria, the well known
banker, and a director in the First
National Bank of Berryville, a
couple of years ago, Mr.. Rixey
made a statement which we con-
sidered one of the best things in
the way of home advertising we
have ever heard.
He said that he was interested
in many banks throughout the
State, and that he made it a rule
to vote in the directors meetings
that all printing and other supplies
for the different banks should be
purchased in the home town, even
though the price for the home-sold
supplies should be much as twenty
five per cent higher than elsewhere.
He said he considered the expen-
diture of the mOny in the commun-
ity worth twenty-five per cent to
the institution.
We are sorry to see some of our
local and public institutions send
ing out of the Town and County
their supplies, but hope this series
of home advertisements will set the
people thinking.
Recently one of the public
school officials sent out of the
County to have little School
Warrant book printed. Name of
the official will be given on applica-
tion.) The cost of the little book
was not very great, and, while we
haven't been able to discover how
much it-cost, we will agree to re-
print it for the same price or less,
thus saving some few cents in
postage.
But the point we insist upon MAX
ing Is that man should spend his
money at home, in Justice 10 him.
self and his community: that being
true, it dosen't need any argument
to prove that public official should
spend the money in the County
where 1t Is received from taxation.
We pay our taxes, and think we
should receive the public patronage.
The public official referred to pays
his taxes and undoubtedly feels
that he should receive the trade of
the public in his business. If he
dosen't feel that way, dose it not
stand to reason that he would sell
out here and move to another COM |

ALL-NIGHT PRAYER MEETING
IN MADAGASCAR
From the Mission Herald.

One of the many powerful witch
doctors among the BetsileO, who has
long had great influence in this district;
was a bitter enemy to the Christians,
trying by all means to belittle their
work and to prevent others from join
ing them.
The Christians of three adjoining vii
lagos determined to use against him
the only weapon they possessed-prayer,
and one afternoon at one o'clock more
than thirty of them met together in a
village church and literally prayed for
that mans conversion until four O'Clock
next morning!
All through the night they prayed,
their one burden being, Lord, save
Razan Akombiasa!
AT four o'clock in the early morn
ing" writes Rev. Charles Collins, they
left the church, but not to go home
No, they repaired to the mans house,
and preached Jesus to him. God heard
their prayers; He answered their peti-
ton, and there and then gave them
what they asked On the spot, the man
became a Christian, threw away all his
charms and divining implements, and
with tears in his eyes asked to be named
Paoly (PauD."
He has since been i'll, but has been
restored in answer to the prayers of
the Christians. He himself regarded
the illness as sent by Satan to draw
him back to his old ways; but he has
successfully resisted all temptation.
The Washington bee., 1907-03-02
WHY DISCRIMINATE?

In the Police Court last Tues
day morning Mr.. Campbell Car
rington defended a proprietor of a
wholesale whiskey establishment,
charged with having dispensed
whiskey on Sunday. The astute
and able attorney so conducted his
case that the prosecuting attorney,
Mr.. James L. Pugh, abandoned it
before the defense had finished, ,and
asked that the two prosecuting wit
nesses5 colored, be arrested and
placed in the dock and charged with
perjury. This was done, but the
white officer who brought the case
to court was not even reprimanded
but was relieved from all blame.
The Bee does not know why this
was done, nor does it question the
motives of the prosecuting attor-
ney, but it would be pleased to
know why the two colored men
were arrested and charged with
perjury and white officer allowed
to go free. Is this fair to all par
ties? Ought not the case be fully
Investigated and all the facts be
brought out anl then place the re-
sponsibility where it belongs?
The Bee dislikes an informer or
a pimp, no matter what the offense
is, so that it is not such an offense
that will injure a persons body.
Informers are dangerous to any
community. Information furnish
ed in good faith and for the public
good is to be commended, but a
person who, for meanness or for
twenty-five cents attempted to in
jure a person and his business
should be punished.
The Bee does not know the mer-
its of the case referred to, but it
seems that all hands connected with
the case, if 1t be one of perjury,
should have been placed under ar
rest. The Bee would like to know
why was this act of discrimination
made in this case? VIII Mr.. Pugh
explain
The Washington bee., 1907-03-02

himself of his surplus oratory. Dr.
Corrothers IS wrong on the school
question. He should know that
there are members of the School
Board who are deeply interested in
the success of the schools. and, so
far as the colored people are con-
cerned, they are not opposed to
them.
Rev. Corrothers may believe that
Admiral Baird, Captain Oyster, Mr..
Cox, Evermann and others are op-
posed TO the colored people. The
Bee knows that the colored people
have no better friends on the School
Board. Admiral Baird may be a
little harsh at times, but there is
not a more honest man on the
Board than he is. The Bee knows
well the record of Captain Oyster
and Mr.. Cox Captain Oyster be
ieves in the colored people, because
his many charitable and liberal acts
toward them speak for him.
DR.. Corrothers complains of dis
elimination on the part of the Su-
perintendent. We don't care what
other people think of DR.. Chancel-
lor. The Bee knows him to be a
whole-souled man. Honest to a
fault. He is frank and fully able
to defend himself against attacks.
Mrs. Terrell, everyone knows, is a
woman of brains. She has wom-
anly principles, and is able to de
fend herself and her position on the
School Board. DR.. Atwood wants
a good school system. He has
worked hard to place the coIored
schools upon working basis. The
Bee wants to say to DR.. Corrothers
that he is all wrong on the school
question.

had filled his pulpit during his abb
SERGE from sickness would have
been embarrassed. The information
o. The Bee IS that this particular
disciple of the Bible knew nothing
of the dead except as a faithful and
worth Christian. One can imagine
the feelings OF the dead's parents,
friends, and acquaintance. The
negro pulpit has a great deal to
learn. 1t is a biblical aphorism,
Speak we'll of the dead.
There are persons in this world
too cowardy to speak of the faults
Of one in life and to his face, but
must wait until after death to give
vest to their revenge.
The Washington bee., 1907-03-02
THE WEBER BILL.

Congress showed its good sense
when it defeated the Weber whis-
KEY bill. If these anti-saloon agi-
tators would spend their energies
in protecting the people from heavy
taxation and eliminate race preju-
dice in the Government Depart
ments they would be doing the city
a service. The Bee respectfully
calls the attention of the anti-saloon
agitators to the bill offered by Rep
resentative Simms, of Tennessee,
and the amendment submitted by
the attorneys. Now, here is where
the anti-saloon agitators can help
those who are opposed to miscege-
nation and especially the white men
who support colOred sporting houS-
es set apart for white men. The
saloons in this city are not as dan
gerous, by any means, as these
houses.
The morals of the men are cor
rupted. No man is injured by TAX
ing glass of whiskey. Anti-whis-
key agitatOrs are more dangerous
to the community than the man
who sells whiskey. Whiskey will
relieve the brain, as it will destroy
the brain if you take too much OF
it, Bad women will destroy a coun-
try and create other disasters. The
House showed its good sense.
The Washington bee., 1907-03-02
THE CARDOZA CASE.

The Bee as well as the people
agree with the Board of Education
that there should be no further de-
lay in the Cardoza case. These
dilatory tactics should not be toler-
ated because the schools are being
embarrassed. If, as Professor
Montgomery has stated, Mr.. Car
doza is not inclined to respect his
authority as assistant superintend-
ent he should be investigated and
removed. The Board of ducation
is entitled to respect and the au-
thOrity of the School Board should
be enforced, no matter who may be
affected. Admiral Baird, the presi-
dent of the Board of Education,and
Captain Oyster, who have taken
prominent part in the discussion of
the Cardoza case, have been honest

SENATOR FORAKER.

The defense that Hon. J. B. For
aker is making in behalf of the
colored soldiers who were dis
charged from the army by Presi-
dent Roosevelt cannot help from
being appreciated by the American
people, irrespective of color OF con-
dition. If there ever was an honest
man in the Senate of the United
States it is Senator Foraker. Else
where in this paper will be seen an
excerpt from the Cleveland (Ohio)
Leader concerning Senator Forak-
er. The Bee is indebted to the
Hon. John P. Green, of Ohio, for
the Leader containing the excellent
article. The investigation of the
Brownsville affair, thus far, has
vindicated the contention of Sena-
tor Foraker and the sensible people
in this country. The testimony has
been so convincing that fools have
been converted.
