Ice Plant for BerryYille

A large ice manufacturing and
cold storage plant for Berryyille
Is now practically an assured fact
as more thans efficient capital has
been subscribed to start the ball
rolling" by paying the entire pur-
chase price of the machinery.
1t is the intention of the pro-
moters to put In a plant which will
turn out ten tons of ice daily.
The local consumption of ice is.
roughly, five tons per day; and
a ten-ton plant will give plenty of
surplus for out-of-town sales. for
the purpose of icing refrigerator
cars, and for cold-storage purposes.
Mr.. w. T. Lewis, who will be
the president and general manager
OF the new enterprise, has been at
work on the idea for the past two
years, and, in the face of discour-
agement which, at times, would
have made the ordinary individual
drop the idea, he kept "pegging
away" until every obstacle was
overcome and the capital assured
for this very valuable addition TO
the Towns business enterprises.
The ice and cold storage com
pany will be capitalized at $40, 900
when ready for business, and will
return a nice interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. w. w. Smallwood will pos
sibly be Chief Engineer of the
plant. and his selection will be an
admirable one. as he is well known
to all OF our people as a hard
working and progressive man,
who will at all times have the in
terest of the enterprise and the
community generally in mind.
We believe that Mr.. Lewis de-
serves a vote of thanks from the
people of this community for his
painstaking efforts and hard work
in behalf of the new enterprie. as,
but for his unaided efforts, the en-
terprise would long ago have been
abandoned.
The machinery for the new ice
plant will be purchased this fall
and installed at once, or as soon as
the necessary buildings can be
erected. and everything is expect
ed to be in shape to start the man
facture of ice before the Spring of
1909 opens.

Democratic Prospects.

The political map of the New
York Herald is full of comfort to
the Democrats. for it establishes
beyond all peradventure that the
Republican party has no walkover
in this campaign. 1t is true that
the Republicans have an almost
certain lead of forty-five electoral
votes at present, but that excess
still leaves them thirty-six short of
the necessary majority.
Naturally the question arises,
from what State will these votes
come! The answer is not en-
couraging to the Republicans.
In the first place, New York
with its thirty-nine votes, is in the
doubtful column. So are Mary
land, West Virginia, Indiana, Wis
consin, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Montana, Colorado,
Utah. With the Far West there
is no need to reckon, for if New
York goes Republican it is all over
but the shouting, even if Mr..
Bryan should carry every other
State in the doubtful column. The
Republican managers know this,
and it is therefore in New York
that the great fight will be made.
But the wheels are driving
heavily for the q. O. Il. seeing
that Hughes is the peoples idol
and the politicians pet detestation.
1t now seems assured that Hughes
will be forced on the leaders under
the persuasion of the big stick and
the demands of political wisdom, >
as revealed at Oyster Bay. Polit-
ical wisdom, however, does not
assure machine support, and the
Republicans are inevitably going
to march with divided forces to
this battle.
On the other hand, the Demo-
Gratis are divided, too, by the Tam
many fight on the Brooklyn leader,
McCarren, but there is good reason
for believing that Tammany will
really support the Democratic
ticket in New York City. Apart
from the support of the organiza-
tion is the fact that thousands OF
men are out of work and have been
so for long time. Hunger begetS
political restlessness, and no man
alive knows how the unemployed
in New York are going to vote.
1t is worth recalling. however
if only as coincidence. that during
all its political history New Yorl
has never voted more then three
times successively for the same
party. In 1896, 1900 and 19O-
New York went Republican, anC
unless she estables a new record
she ought to 90 Democratic thi,
year. This reasoning would bt
only by the Democrats reinforced
by unrest in the working classe,
and Republican discord. SO view
ed the Democratic chances in New
York are fair, and with New Yorl
on the Democratic side the victory
will practically be won. .-RichmonC

BerryVille, 8; ROCkIand. 4.

The Berryville ball tossers at
tended the Union Picnic at Rock
land last Thursday, and hooked up
In hard-fought battle with the
Rockland team. The home team
had been considerably strengthened
for the occasion, and Berryville
had hard fight to win.
For the first six innings Berry
vile couldn't hit Stickley with any
degree Of accuracy, but his arm
gave out in the seventh inning, and
four hits, combined with base on
ball and a hit batsman, resulted in
FIVE tallies.
Mckinley, who took up the Job
on the firing line, was unhittable,
but could not get them over.
One scorewas added in the eighth
and two in the ninth, making a
total of eight.
For the home team, two runs
crossed the plate in the fourth
inning on two hits, an error. and a
fielder 'schOice. In the eighth they
scored another, and in the ninth
their fourth tally was added.
For the home team. Mckinley
at first, VI. Stickley in center,
Harris at third, and Stickley and
Broy in the points, starred with
nice playing.
For Berryville team the battery
work of Shepherd and Galloway.
and a running one-hand catch by
Jones in left garden, and Jones'
three-bagger which scored three
men, were the features.
Considering the grass field, it
was a remarkably good game, and
filled with exciting moments.
While there was plenty of argu-
ment over the umpire's decisions,
there was no hard feeling and no
disorder.
The trip was one of the most
enjoyable ever taken by the local
team, and the good people of Rock
land neighorhood fed our brave
lads on chicken, cake, pies, and
other good things until it was
criminal to eat more.
Also, there were large number
of pretty girls at the picnic, and
they treated the visiting strangers
just like they were home folks. 4"
There we're probably 800 people
at the picnic. and the weather
conditions could not have been
improved. The Canterbury Band
one of the best amateur musical
organizations of the section. was
present and rendered good music.
While it was the first trip ever
taken by the local baseballists to
Rockland, we have hopes that it
will not be the last, as such good
treatment and hospitality deserves
repetition.
