Aunt Sarah, as she was famil-

away Tuesday night, April Z.

and for many years had made her
self very useful in her neighbor-
hood, rendering valuable services
in sickness and distress. MANY
attribute their restoration to health
to her patient and faithful minis
trations. Thus she will be missed
greatly, even by those outside OF
her own home, and especially the
children.

separated from his mother, he
visited her each year. bringing

STATE BANK LAWS NEEDED.

The embarrassment of the Bank
of Mecklenburg, at BoydtOn, en-
phasizeS In a most painful WAY the
need of legislation covering State
banks. The Times-Dispatch dur
ing the session of the Legislature
published an article prepared es-
pecially on the new bank law of
North Carolina. which showed the
benefits both to the bankers and
to the depositors resultant from a
careful and regular inspection of
this most important business.
Under the present laws of Virginia
banks can be organized and busi-
ness commenced with only 10 per
cent of the capital actually paid in.
The remaining 80 per cent may be
secured by notes of the subscribers
or be paid for in real estate or as
sets that are, to say the least, not
acceptable to national bank exalni-
ners. AS a result a number of
State banks that were intrinsicalIy
as well managed and as sound as
any national bank have not desired
TO remain in the class of the unin-
spected State banks, and have
therefore changed from State TO
national charters.
Banking is a most important
function in our commercial and
social life, and every possible safe
guard should be thrown around the
savings of the depositors. The
Legislature has failed to enact
proper laws, and though the Cor
porationi Commission does not have
all the resources necessary at its
disposal, we trust that so far rs its
powers will permit it will give the
most careful supervision to the
banks under its control, and pre-
vent, if possible the repetition of
such happenings as that at Boyd
ton.-Richmond Times Dispatch.

WINCHESTER VOTES "DRY."

After n hot fight, in which every
man who had a vote took an active
part, Winchester last Wednesday
voted in favor of closing the saloons
there and refusing license for at
least two years.
The official vote was $50. the
drys" having a majority of an
even 100.
Following the above action the
saloons will be closed on the night
of April 30.
So far as the action of Winchester
affects Berryville, we are heartily
glad that the saloons have been
abolished.
Beginning with May | there will
be no saloons in Clarke county.
and, now that the Winchester
saloons will be closed at the same
time, there will not be so many
excuses" for some of our citizens
to visit Winchester so frequently
upon such important business. -
We know, of course. that the man
who keeps whiskey and beer in his
house, and has done so for years
(eyen when a saloon was located
only half a dozen squares from
his door,, will continue to
do so; but the temptation and OPP
portnnity will be removed from
the casual and treating
drinker. who is the real supporter
of the saloon. The regular home
drinkerandt the confirmed drunkard
pay a very small proportion of the
cost of supporting the saloons.
OF course, Shepherdstown and
Charles Town are wet, and each
place will have many visitors
from BerryviIle. we have no doubt,

return TO the principles Of Jeffer-
son. fetapparently those holding
such ideas are but as reeds shaken

Long ago The Times Dispatch
declared that it saw NO other can

was, therefore. very much tn pc

nearer it becomes increasingly clear

both active and passive, is spread
ing, and that the Republican party
Is not free from troubles and diff
cultieS OF its own. Its, therefore.
a matter of essential Importance
that the Democrats 80 into the
campaign united. In order to gain
this harmony, there must be free
and nntrammeled debate and action.
This cannot be gained by instruct
ed delegates.
As The Times Dispatch pn,ntr d
out last week. NJ. Bryan already
has almost certainly 65T deleg ties
out of total OF SIS necessary for
the requisite two-third> vote. This
enormous lead makes it all the
more important for the rest of the
delegates to 60 foot-Inose. Thus
and only thus, will they be able Ia
make effective n demand for rec
ognltion In the deliberations and
action of the convention. If the
whole convention in advance is To
be pledged for Mr.. Bryan, and so
for his own platform, the Demo-
cratic party will be much weaker
IN the campaign than it would be
were Mr.. Bryan to be chosen and
a platform framed by whole con-
vention acting in the light of the
conditions as they may appear in
July. The Democratic party g~,~

but the amount of money SO spent
will be infnitesimal as compared
with the SS5, 900 or $4,000 spent
in the saloons in Berryville under
the wet" reign.
While we think of it. we might
remark that those people in Berry,
vile who are living in hope that
the Town will vote wet" two
years hence might as we'll abandon
the idea; and if they are dead
set" in a desire to go into the
saloon business, they had better
hunt further afield; for this Town
is dry" with the intention of
staying SO.
While there have been some en-
terprises which have suffered from
the closing Of the saloons here, the
majority have not suffered; and a
number of the best and most influ-
entail business men in Town have
told US that their receipts in the
past four months have been as
great or greater than during any
other four months of their bus
mess life. even with the late finan-
clal panic borne in mind.
