says is correct. The Gazette, Indicating
that the law was not Joker" says:

legislature and Incorporated in the Byrd
law with practically no opposition"
Now this is where the Gazette errs.

Byrd law as section 23i" Of that act

Percentage Of Alcohol Too High.

commemorative Attorney w.
+. Lewis has received from State
Chemist Magruder the analyses of
"Rikk," " "Rixx" and Extract of
Malt" which were recently on
sale here, and in each instance the
analysis shows higher percentage
of alcohol than is legal under the
Byrd law.
The percentage of alcohol in the
three samples. according To Chem
ist Magruder's analysis, is rs fol-
lows:
"Rikk," 800 per cent.
"RiXx," 4.20 per cent.
Extract of Malt" 4.O5 per cent.
The Byrd liquor law limits the
percentage of alcohol which may
be contained in Notwithstanding"
drinks to 2.25 per cent.
\ message 10 the COURIER from
Winchester states, that Common
wealth'S Attorney Reardon has re-
celved the analysis of "Amberine'
which was recently sent to Chem
ist Magruder, and that the analysis
shows only l.45 per cent of alco-
hol, from which it will be seen
that it is not affected by the Byrd
law. "Amberine" is being sold
IN Berryville by A. f. White, the
local agent of the Robert Portner
Brewing Company of Alexandria.

The Farmer and His "LsYel"

There is considerable unnecessary
concern, governmental and eco
nomic, felt for the farmer. Too
many people assume that his con-
dition Is not what it ought to be,
that he is not doing what he should
to make his nation the best in the
world and that, unless something
IS done, agriculture will lose the
proud position it has long held, as
the basic industry on which the
prosperity of the country rests.
Senator Hansbrough of North
Dakota has bill ready for congress
for the establishment of national
commission to promote agricul-
tural cooperative organizations"
which Is said to have the active
approval of the president. One of
the questions to be answered is this:
How can life on the farm be
kept on the highest leveR" Other
questions of similar import are on
the program for the new commits
sion. The idea appears to be that
the commission, if authorized by
congress, will take up the agricul-
tural question much as municipal
commissions have in the mast
studied the evils OF the crowded
tenements, and bring in recon-
mendations for the amelioration of
rural conditions.
The American farmer will smile
when he reads Of the proposition
of the North Dakota senator. The
agriculturist has been busy for
years improving his condition and
Is still busily engaged in the task.
The level" of farm life is credit
able to the farmer and to the
farmers family. If by level is
meant comfort, moral and financial
staDlllty, patriotism and those
other qualities that go to make up
the good citizen, be he found in
country or city, no concern need
be felt for the American farmer.
The level of farm life compares
favorably with the level of city
life, village life or any other life in
America or Europe. Much wasted
sympathy and concern is expended
on the farmer. He could better
take up a study of how to raise the
the standard of the average city
resident 10 his own level. The
farmer needs no help from q con-
gressional commission; his welfare
is one of the national resources
that will take care of of itself. He
only needs fair treatment and an
equal chance; given this, he will
keep his level at a point beyond
reproach-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Verdict Against Town for $50

Circuit Court was in session all
of last week and on Monday of this
week, and the civil cases on the
docket were ably fought by all the
attorneys.
The damage suit of John T. Crow
VS.. Town of Berryville, for 81 900, a
suit arising from the construction
of the new reservoir on the Blue
Ridge, was tried before a Jury
camposed of Messrs. John +. Roy
ston, {. t. hawthorne, John Fen
ton, VIM. l.. Emmert, Columbus

for Mr.. Crow for the sum of $50.
Mr.. Crow was represented by
Hon. Marshall Mccormick, while
the Town was defended by Messrs.
Blackburn Smith and +. b. Whit
ing.
Probably the hardest-fought
civil case which has been before
this Court in many years was that
of Griffith. Boyd & Co., vs.. Boyce
Implement Co. The plaintiffs.
who are large dealers in fertilizers.
sued for S3.O22.15 which they
claimed was due them from the
Boyce Implement Co. for fertilizers
The defendants put forward the
contention that the fertilizer had
been sold TO farmers and that notes
had been taken in payment, and
that these notes had been accepted
by the fertilizer firm in settlement
OF the account. The fertilizer
company damned that the notes had
been accepted a collateral. The
case occupied the attention of the
Court ou Thursday. Friday. Satur-
day and Monday, and the Jury.
composed of the Messrs. Scott
Royer, j. ii. Bell, j. +. Royston
h. II. Byrne, ii. b. Chamblin.
John Fenton and VIM. II. Levi,
returned verdict for the sum of
S3,022. 10, and allowed the defend
ants credit for the face value of the
notes of $2,S93.17. and a further
credit of $50 90, maxim total credit
of S2,956.14. which. subtracted
from the verdict given the plain
titis. leaves an apparent difference
between the parties of S66.0l.
The case, which was of the most
interesting character, was conduct
ed by Hon. \. Moore, Jr., for the
plaintiffs, and by MeSsrs. Geo. b.

ents.
All the other cases which were

Duty of Mr.. Good Citizen

ltis the duty of first Importance
that every good citizen should ex-
ercise the right of suffrage con-
ferred upon him. Government is
but the voice of an aggregation of
individuals and should reflect the
interest and intelligence of those
whose participate in it by the exer-
else of the bollot. No man has a
right To say that he is not interested
in politics, unless he is impervious
to the demands of his government.
Nothing is truer than that any
government reflects the ideas of
those who participate in it. Off
cialS who are elected by intelligent,
high-minded and conscientious citi-
zenS will feel themselves in duty
bound to discharge their official
duties in way commensurate to
the electorate which places them
in power. When the good citizens
fail to interest themselves in politi-
cal matters they surrender to the
politicians who go into politics for
the loaves and the fishes. Let
every good man exercise his right
of suffrage eonseientiously and in
a way that will serve the best in
terests of his community.-Blue-
field Leader.

Tamlaly at Denver

What effect will these New York

The count is not likely to be COM
pleted before the convention meets,
but suppose by that time the small
Mcclellan majority has been re-
duced almost to the vanishing point,
or has entirely disappeared. show
ing Mr.. Hearst to have been elected
mayor. VIII New York's infiu-
ence in the convention be affected
by the disclosure! Will not Mr..
Bryan profit!
New York is the body, soul and
pocketbook of the anti-Bryan
movement, and Tammany is New
York instrument of warfare.
The argument is that without New
York the democracy cannot win
next November, and this is fortified
by the assertion that Tammany is
opposed TO Mr.. Bryan. 1t is ad-
mitted that in the event of Mr..
Bryan's nomination the organiza-
ton will beregular, but enthusiasm,
IT i dOlefully stated, will be lack
ing. In order to insure the party
Tammany's best "licks" another
than Mr.. Bryan must head the
national ticket.
Well, Tammany put in its best
ticks" for Mr.. Mcclellan. and
they were full of fraud. Are the
opponents of Mr.. Bryan at Denver
likely to make headway under such
leadership! Can they muster a
third of the convention under the
black flag of the repeater and the
ballot box stutfer!
And then what will be the effect
of these disclosures at the conven-
ton of the independence party.
which follows that ofthe democratic
party. Mr.. Hearst will certainly
be the hero of that meeting. Some
people have expected him to be also
its nominee. But if be has been
elected mayor of New York. and
the fact Is soon to be officially de-
clared, it might not be advisable to
put him up as candidate for
President of the United States.
He should bear the office he has
already won rather then fly after
another he might moi be able to
reach.
1t Is upon the whole very in
teresting problem which has thus
been thrown into the arena.
Tammany is going to Denver in
force, and hoping to occupy the
center of the stage. Surely Mr..
Bryan should not object to its
opposition now. The Mcclellan
victory" is the organization ;
latest claim to consideration, and
If 1t does not cause disgust in the
bosoms of delegates from other
sections of the country there will
be reason for wonder. The greater
the convention the greater should
be Mr.. Bryan'S power in shaping
the conventions proceedings. -
