The Bank Statements

For the first time, the COURIER
today contains the statements of
three Banks-the Bank of Clarke
County, First National Bank of
Berryville. and the Boyce State
Bank-the last-named having open
ed for business on March 10.
Allof the statements show a clean
record of business activity which
we think deserves special mention.
The three institutions are we'll
ofiicered and managed, and while
it Is true that considerable Clarke
county money is upon deposit or in
vested in other towns, the showing
of the three Banks of the County
Is a substantial one.
The study Of figures appears un-
interesting to most people, but the
COURIER thinks that our citizens
will be pleased and feel proud of
the business of the County if they
will peruse the Bank statements
published today, which constitute
the real index to the business life
of any community.
Saturday of this week MAY 3O).
Decoration Day, being legal hol-
iday, all of the Banks will be closed.

The COURIER, sent TO me by kind and
thoughtful friend in the negihborhood Of
Boyce. As hungry traveller eagerly

sick soul, and really more comforting
and satisfying than any of the many,
many letters l have received during the
nearly three years have been in this
quaint, Spanish-speaking town.
For the benefit of those who, perhaps.
will never see this part of the great
Southwest, let me say that the Stars and
Stripes wave over no section with a
history quite 30 interesting as right here
And particularly is this true Of Santa Fe.
Here, well preserved and in perfect
order, stands an old Spanish Catholic
church. built about forty years after the
discovery of America by Columbus. In
1t are many exquisite and interesting
paintings, done by the old masters. and
brought over from Spain centuries ago.
Besides the church, there are many old
adobe houses, built about the same time.
and in comparatively good condition at
present.
l could not attempt 10 write Of all Of
the manypoints ofinterest here. Within
few hours drive are the Indian Pueblos
and the prehistoric cliff dwellings.
Crowds Of Indians are seen daily on the
streets Of Santa Fe, displaying gorgeous
colors and their peculiar costumes of
blankets, moccasins, beads. feathers,
paints, etc.
Almost all the houses here are built Of
adobe, are one story high, and present
from the exterior simple and unassum-
ing appearance; but one is amazed on
entering the home of the cultured. we'll
io-do Mexican, to find it almost palatial
N appearance, with all the modern i'm
provements and conveniences found in
our Eastern cities.
While it IS fact that Santa Fe is
nestled amongst the foothills of the
Rockies, it has an altitude Of over seven
thousand feet, which gives it an ideally
beautiful climate both summer and win
ter. This fully explains why so many
resort here in search for health. Not
only Is there perfect climate here, bu,
perfect and beautifully equipped sani-
tarium, with every possible comfort and
convenience.
Pardon me for taking so much Of your
time.
Enclosed find 81, for which send me

The Alabama Primary

The result of the Democratic
primary in Alabama Is distinctly
Disappointing to the supporters of
Gov. Johnson. The Minnesota
man got into the fight late but
made so good an impression among
the voters that his friends hoped he
might secure the states delegates
to Denver or at least break even
with Mr.. Bryan. On the contrary
the Nebraskan appears to have
carried the state by something like
four to one.
Not only were the national dele
gates from Alabama at stake in
the primary, but the outcome was
expected to have an important in
tiuence on other southern states
that were vet to be a test of the
johnson, or anti-Bryan, sentiment
among southern Democrats. The
new primary law in Alabama al
lowed the names of aspirants for
the presidential nomination TO 90
upon the ballots and thus the pri-
mary offered a squarely drawn
fight between the two leaders for
the honor to be bestowed atDenver.
Alabama was considered perhaps
the most loyal Democratic state in
the union four years ago, swallow
ing the Parker ticket apparently
without aqualm. The late veteran
senator's from the state, MesSrs.
Morgan and Pettus, were without
sympathy with Organism and at
least one of the present repreSena-
tiveS of that state in the upper
house of congress, Mr.. johnson,
freely expressed his personal pref
erence for the Minnesota governor.
The primary, with its Sizeable
majority for the Nebraka man, will
bS an appreciable help to the Bryan
movement in the south and, if
further indication were necessary,
shows again the clear trend of senti-
ment toward q third Bryan nomina-
tion. Had Alabama, first on the
convention roll, been ready to
record her vote for johnson, the
influence upon the Denver gather
ing might have been important.

semi-professionals, in one of the
fastest games ever played in that
city. the time being one hour and
five minutes.

and but for the sloppy condition
of the ground around the bases the
score would have been 3 to o.
The only error made was 10y
Shepherd. on a hard hit high liner,
which he was unable to handle
clcanly.
The fielding feature of the game
was Duggan's running catches of
three hits in center field, which
would had fallen safe from any
other fielder ON the team.
Berryville had the only double
play of the game, Jones TO A..

the game was Moore's two-bagger

Death Of Mr.. Stephen Duncan

Mr.. Stephen Duncan, who was
seriously injured by fall from a
window at DR.. fuckers Hospital
last Thursday morning, died Sat
urday night at $50 o'clock.
Mr.. Duncan had been in dcclin-
ing health for some time and had
been under treatment here. His
health was slowly improving, and
it was hoped that he would entire
ly recover. On Thursday morn
ing while standing by one of the
windows in the upper story at the
Hospital, it is supposed that he
became dizzy or lost his balance,
and fell to the ground. One of
his limbs was broken and he was
seriously injured internally, his
death resulting from the injuries
and his enfeebled condition.
The remains were taken to
Washington Monday morning,
where interment was made.
Mr.. Duncan, who w&s 76 years
of age, was born in Philadelphia.
His parents removed to Louisiana
and he was educated in that State
and remained there until grown,
In the fifties he removed to Wash
ington, and when the war broke out
he at once volunteered in the COM
pany raised by Captain Shaifer in
the District of Columbia. After
the first battle of Manassas he was
detailed as achief clerk in one ofthe
important divisions of the Treasu-
rer'S Office, and continued in that
work until the close of the war.
After the fall uf Richmond he went
with his office to Columbia, S. c.,
and surrendered at that place.
Mr.. Duncan is survived by two
sisters, Mrs. w. Il. Milton,
of BerryviIle, and Miss Eliza
Duncan, of Orange, \. j., and one
brother, Rev. Thomas Duncan, oi
Washington, and a large number

To Cultivate Sugar BeetS

MIR. \. Roedenbeck, OF the In
dustrnl Department OF the Nor
folk & Western Railway Company,
was IN town hast week for the
purpose OF interesting local farm
ers IN the cultivation of sugar
beets.
Mr.. Rocdenbeck. who is an ex-
pert in sugar beet culture. secured
the cooperation of Messrs. Chas.
+. Clapp. p. Mccormick. j. Nj.
III. Clagett and Col. S. s. Thomas,
each of whom will plant half an
acre of the beets this year.
The sugar beet industry is one
of the greatest and most valuable
IN this country, and the volume of
sugar being consumed in this coun-
try Is rapidly increasing each year.
Thus it will he seen that it is im-
perative that new fields for the
raising OF sugar bects be found.
especially when we remember that
a large volume of the sugar con
sumed in the United States is i'm
ported.
In conversation here, Mr.. Roed-
enbeck stated that he had the
promise Of about two hundred
farmers between Berryviile and
Abingdon that they would put in
half an acre each of the bect~ ;his
year for the purpose OF expert
menting with the soil and climate.
so ihat it can be determined if the
Virginia soil is fitted for beet
culture.
The returns from sugar beet
raising are large-much larger
than the returns from wheat and
corn-and, il it is found that the
Virginia farms are suitable for
beet raising, il will mean great
financial increase 20 the farmers.
The Norfolk & Western Railway
Company is spending a great deal
OF money in It's efforts To advance
the interests of the farmers of
Virginia, and experts have been
employed in the various lines to
give the farmers the benefit of
their skill and technical knowledge.

Serious Fire Narrowly AYerted

n serious fire was narrowly
averted by the prompt action of
VIII Williams last Saturday night
at the home of George Harris,
colored, in the rear of the prop
erty OF Mr.. William Young, on
West Main street.
\ lighted lamp was left in the
house and was either knocked
from the table by the cat or eX-
ploded, throwing blazing oil over
the floor. Williams was attracted
by the blaze and promptly extin-
guished it. The damage was slight.

Caught by WatterSOn'S Kodak.

Col Henry Watterson in his
usual picturesque style explains to
certain would-be democratic leaders
in New York why they can not ac-
complish the defeat of Bryan i'm the
Denver convention. He is great
friend of Gov. Johnson. of Mime
sofa, and on that account regards
1t as extremely unfortunate for
that gentleman that he should APP
pear at Denver under the patron
age of group of uninflueptial
though pretentions newspapers,
which, as rule. voice the plans
and schemes of these, and that
money to finance his candidacy
should appear anywhere upon the
scene as Il has appeared.
The Colonel then adds this warm
paragraph: These men plainly
tell us that if we nominate Bryan
they won't give us cent. They
are supported by a local press,
standing for little else than cor
p1rate wealth, knowing nothing of
the country at large, not caring for
any thing outside the confines of a
dollar-grubbing, sky-scraping pro-
vlnciahsm-of big houses and little
men-whose business has grown as
corrupt as its society, and whose
politics is more corrupt than either.
They insult decent people alike by
their effrontery and their money.
They furnish us so many additional
reasons for declaring that upon a
straight issue between the republic
and the plutocracy we shall stand
Tor the republic. - Rockingham
