Feature of Their Services.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, July PA result
Of the late Russian-Japanese war has
been the immigration from southeastern
Russia to California of a peculiar re-
ligious sect called Molokanes.
The Molokanes are not numerous,
there being about 800 families of them
in the state. of whom 300 are In Los
Angeles and 200 In San Francisco. One
hundred families more have recently set
tied on land in Lower California.
The Molokanes hail from the province
of Cauca sia, in southeastern Russia
where they were colonized by the Rus-
sian government at the close of the last
war between Russia and Turkey.
The principal cause of the exodus was
the desire TO escape military service, the
Molokanes. like the Quakers, being op-
posed to war.
Other contributing causes were the nope
of lettering their economic condltloh
persecution or the threat of persecution
by the orthodox church of Russia and the
general unsettled state of affairs In the
czars dominions. SO one of their lead
ers heard the voice of the Lord and re-
ceived a revelation directing them TO MI
CRATE to America.

Bible Their Whole Library.

The Bible is their whole library and

ings. Property is largely held on the
communal principle. They have no priests
or pastors. only elders. Any man can be-
come an elder by prosecuting his educa-
tion to the extent of being able to read
and commit to memory the scriptures.
An elder being the head of a communal
family and man learned in the scrip
tures.' his authority is chiefly of a
patriarchal nature.

WET" VICTORIES.

The result in both Roanoke and
Rocky Mount came as a distinct
surprise to Us, As we had been led
To believe by people from both
places that the "drys' would win
by overwhelming majorities.
The total vote in Roanoke shows
an increase Of practically 80 per
cent over that of the preceding
election and shows that both sides
must have been working hard to
get out every voter.
The wet" majority is stated at
90 votes.
In Rocky Mount, which has
only one saloon, and which pays a
revenue Of $4,000 per annum, the
vets" squeezed through 10y only
three majority, it is said.
The case of Rocky Mount should
prove of interest to Berryville.
provided our Town votes wet
IN the election which will soon be
asked for.
If the Town is to go wet" il
would be well to limit the licenses
to not more than three for
the Hotel. one white saloon, and
one for colored people.
We haven't the slightest doubt
that Judge Harrison will scrutinize
closely any applicants for license
here Gf the vote is 'wet'), and
we believe he will see to il that
things are conducted on different
plane from that which existed here
IL one time.
We read in the Roanoke papers
that the campaign in that city was
conducted on a high plane, with
no personalities or animosities:
and we hope the coming fight here
will be of a similar kind.
The last election held here
resulted in the establishment of a
number of business 'feuds" which
have made friends for no one.
1t seems 10 us that the arguments
for and against the saloon can be
couched in plain terms without
injecting personalities.
1t is finally up to the leaders of
the two sides, however. as to what
is done and said.
