OVER IN WEST VA.

Charleston, w. Va, July 14.-In an
effort to cut expenses so as to meet the
receipts and prevent deficit in the city
treasury, tor which the members would
be civilly and criminally liable under
the State law, the Charleston board
of affairs has issued an order, effective
tomorrow, ordering ell street lights cut
off, leaving the city in total darkness.
The police force will be reduced to
eight street men, four during the day
and four at night. The street and fire
department forces will be greatly re-
duced, and the health department cut
off entirely.
The board claims that without such
action deficit would be created of
about $4,000, in which case the men,
bers would face Jail sentence.
Charleston, w. Va, is now Dry. Her
dust storm came not by "Wet and
Dry" fight, but by virtue of law in
that State which gives the city council
the power to say whether the town
shall or shall not issue license. The
council of Charleston decided to have
no license and the above is the result.
That city is one of the cities of that
State which will have to change its eX-
pense list or grope in darkness for a
good while if she raises no revenue from
her liquor license.
Now let it be understood that in adj
vocating license we do not do so as q
revenue raiser or producer. If we did
not believe that Staunton can be much
better managed with licence than
without it the few paltry dollars drop
ped into the treasury would have nc
place in the argument. We never
| want city or State to live on money
if that money be as some say it is.
"blood money!" or tainted money!
We advocate license because it is oul
firm belief that any city can thus reg
ulate the liquor traffic that way better
than any other. The money is mere
| incident.

A TOUCH OF TAXATION.

In order to see just how taxes have
been placed in prohibition towns in
Alabama here are few that came
about the time the Albanian gave up
the ghost.
The doctor who attends him in his
last illness pays license tax-and
quite heavy one.
The undertaken has a rather heavy
tax put on him.
The merchant who furnishes burial
clothes is made to contribute heavily.
The livery stable man who furnishes
the mourners carriages has to swelter
under heavy license.
The hack driver pays for his privi-
lege.
The cemetery where the weary bones
rest, contributes its share.
The tombstone maker has to ante up
heavily before he can mark the last
resting place.
All these, to say nothing OF the flo
rist and others who arrange the flow
ers kind friends lay on his bier.
These may all be taxed at other
places, but not so heavily as in prohi-
bition Alabama.
Dead or alive they get the jewellers
down there.

FROM CLIFTON FORGE.

Staunton has been given lot of adj
vice lately as to how to manage her
affairs, by persons living outside. Cliff
ton Forge contributed budget of
wisdom. Many municipal Solomons
live in that place, the "blown in the
bottle kind" so when seeking the
real thing ii is best to call in Clifton
Forge first. New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia often send down there
when they get balled up, and imme-
diately John Bowles and Ed. Snead
get busy and express their views, a
freight train would suit better to con-
vey them, because of their specific
gravity, but being of such priceless
value they are only transported by the
quickest and safest methods.
These two distinguished city fathers
were billed to speak IN Staunton on
last night for the drys. Only Father
Bowles appeared. Father Snead was
busy elsewhere. He is decidedly the
M diiI1Cob VI tllC ~, do olioWI NY bulS
fact. When men come here to tell us
what prohibition has done for them,
and for their town, and then pass their
town, and then behold "Buzzards
Roost," that fringe of palliative build
ings between the railroad and the pc
lucid Jackson's River, and view the
colored loungers as they lazily lie
about looking at the one bunch of ba-
nannas hanging at the door of the one
and only occupied business house in
that row of stately buildings, one yearns
for City Father to tell him how it all
came about. We long for dry spell
binders from that tOwn-Fathers who,
as soon as they hit the town and are
looked over, anybody would know
they were from Clifton Forge and very
dry. City Father Bowles and City
Father Snead when seen in the broad
light of day carry conviction with
them.

MORE TESTIMONIALS.

Now Charleston, w. Va, has gone
and done it. Subjected to the usua
pressure and demonstration and influ
ence, the city council refused all liquor
licenses. Then, its members, discover
ing they would be subject Individually
to civil and criminal liabilities if they
appropriated more money than the
city's income, were forced to desperate
measures. They have ordered out all
the street lights, cut the police and fire
departments in halves and practically
abolished the health and street-clean-
ing departments. So the city is threat
ened with a receivership.
And, at the same time, we get from
Georgia, that more Illicit distilleries
were destroyed in that State during
the year ending July LIST than were
found the year before in all the four
States of Georgia, Alabama, Florida
and Mississippi.
These are practical, actual facts, il
Illustrative of prohibition as it really is.

President Staunton Business Mems AS
ISOLATION, Staunton, Va.
Dear Sirs:-I beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of yours of 18th inst. with en-
closures.
The copy of the letter from Mr.. C.
H. Walker City Treasurer) bears
date of March 31st, 1908, and states
facts which are true about the city not
being in bank for any borrowed money
at that time, but he failed to state why
that condition of affairs existed. Dur
ing the year 1906 the city of Charlottes-
vile sold an issue of bonds to COM
plete our new reservoir, and the city
used this money until it was necessary
to pay the contractors, therefore it was
not necessary to borrow any money,
but wire him if such state of affairs
exists at present, and you will; find US
again in bank. | made this statement
which can be borne out by any fair
minded resident of our town-that
there are more houses vacant in this
town than has been for 10 years past,
and in many cases rents have decreas-
ed 20 per cent. Furthermore, at the
last meeting Of the city council, extra
appropriations were made to carry
every department over until the be-
ginning of the next fiscal year, which
will necessarily decrease the appropri-
ations for the year 1910.
If any merchant now doing business
here will state that his business is as
good as it was two years ago (paniC
year, he is rare exception, and | dc
not believe that there are five that can
make such statement truthfully.
Has the attendance of students at oul
| University increased since the town
went "dry?" Let those in authority
answer. 1t was argued that we would
| have the largest attendance ever
known if liquor was stamped out. This
| fact has failed 10 be realized, and as
, much liquor has been shipped to this
seat of learning as was ever bought in
the city.
Inquire from our local banks as to
conditions of affairs and you will re-
ceive unbiased and free opinions which
cannot be refuted or questioned.
Concerning the sentiment expressed
| by Mr.. Walker in 1908, your will find
to-day an entirely different view exists
and if an election is held here in the
near future, you will find this town
once more as one of the wet towns OF
| the State
With best wishes, remain,
Yours respectfully,
| b. w. LETTERMAN,

Officer Lupton Badly Wounded.

Sunday morning Officers Lupton and
Long went to the home of Jim Stuart,
who was wanted tor escaping from the
changing some time ago, and while
Officer Long guarded the house Lupton
went in to make the arrest. On being
called on to surrender the negro began
firing at the officer. In drawing his
pistol Mr.. Lupton drew his holster
with it and was holding it in the left
hand when the bullet from the Negroes
pistol struck it, passing through and
breaking rib over his heart, passed
downward and made serious wound.
Officer Long fired several shots at the
negro and he finally fell desperately
wounded He was taken 10 Jail and
locked up and yesterday was thought
to be out of danger. Mr.. Lupton was
taken to the Kings Daughters hospi-
tai where his wound was attended to,
and while suffering great deal it is
said he is not dangerously hurt. 1t
appears that the negro is desperate
character and has given the police con-
siderable trouble.

Gentlemen:-In response to your call
extended to me TO become candidate

deemed it prudent to materially con-

delay III its acknowledgment.
Such call from the sturdy citizens
of Augusta County and the City of

probation. 1t is source of much
qualification to feel that so many of my
friends and fellow-citizens manifest
this confidence in me.
AS an humble citizen, deeply inter

sire to advance and promote their ma
terial interests in every way to the best
of my judgment and ability. On each
of US some public duty is imposed, and
in such light 1 regard this call. TIC
yield to personal considerations would
relieve me of this responsibility, but
am unwilling to deny such service a.
in the opinion of my fellow-citizens
am able to render.

this call, and pledging my best effort:
to a faithful performance of the dutie.
such trust will impose, and relying
upon your active aid and cooperation

THEY IGNORE THE BIBLE.

The 'smoral teacher the "paid peri
patetic,u has seized upon the question
of prohibition, and undertakes to regu-
late, manage and prescribe the use OF
all beverages which exhilerate or in
toxicate. He has moved aside the reg
ular minister of the gospel as too slow
or too orthodox, but invites his CO.
operation; in other words, asks him TO
trail in after him if he is pleased to do
so. He tells tales of horror and star
vation, of sadness, of dissipation and
crime Thus he moves the eyes to
tears, and the tender heart to weeping
He avoids the church edifices rs too
staid, and severe, and chooses rather
the outdoor pulpit, the canvas tent, or
the tail-end of a wagon. From these
he probably asks the blessing of prov
idence, but when he begins his dis
course he neither opens the Bible for
text, nor the New Testament for a
basis of his remarks, unless in the most
perfunctory way.
So it is written that Jesus began His
teaching in Cana of Galilee by the
miracle of turning water into wine,
and at the end of His ministry, when
about to be offered up, He instituted a
feast, the great feast of the passover,
in which wine was prescribed to be
drunk as the hottest of all emblems OF
His shed blood. No mention of this do
we hear from the "paid agitator," ex-
cept by way of apology, or silly ex-
PLANTATION.
