Special Correspondence Of The Star.


WINCHESTER, Va. October s. 1910.
The hunting season opened this week,
and there has already been a great
slaughter of game birds and rabbits. On
the opening day of the season many men
threw down business affairs and hustled
off to the woods with dogs and gums. The
game wardens are patrolling the country
districts with instructions to enforce the
law rigidly. but there had been no ar
rest up to this afternoon. Nonresident
hunters are required to obtain a license
from the county clerk before they can
hunt, and then it is necessary to obtain
the consent of the owners of the land.
The apple season in this section of the
state practically closed this week, and
the great majority of northern and west
ern buyers have left for their places of
business. During the season large sums
of money were paid out to barrel makers,
expert pickers and packers and clerks.
The Cumberland Valley railroad alone
has shipped over 10000 barrels of apples
from Winchester during the season, and
there are now about 5000 barrels in cold
storage, which will be shipped this win
ter. About 10000 barrels Of apples have
been shipped over the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad from Winchester Farmers who
refused to sell early in the season OBJ
tanned higher prices for their fruit
later on.

Democratic Platform Declaration.

The democratic national platform dec
laration for free lumber was utterly dis
regarded when the lumber interests Of
the south were faced with a practical
proposition. and it was by southern dem
ocratic votes, Including that of our own
senator, John Walter Smith, that lumber
was kept off the free list
Representative Clarke of Florida eX-
pressed it: L am for tariff for revenue,

to stay, but while friendly to it, l realize
that, like every good thing, it may be
abused: hence I am in favor of that
measure of protection alone that will rep
resent the difference between the cost of
production here and abroad. That diff
ference can be ascertained by the means
already adopted through the office of
tariff commission"

In the engineers section Of the War
Department some APO vessels are in use.
OF these the most important are the big
seagoing dredges constantly employed
either III digging new channels or in
keeping those already in operation open
and free from forming bars. The Engi-
neer Corps also employs a number of
drill scows for eXcavating the rock beds
of certain rivers. Then there are steam

Mr.. Warner said in part:
The principle of protection is here to
stay as practical business and an
American institution. If the democrats
attempt revision of the tariff they
would find that the principles of pro-
lection cannot now be discarded, not
alone because of republican adherence to
il, but through democratic demands for
its maintenance.
The states at the south whence the
preponderance of democrats would hail,
have a potent voice in the making of a
tariff law and during the framing of the
Payne law every state south of Mary

sentatives. insisted upon the preservation
of the protective principle for it's own

Laymen's Meeting al Montgomery.

The laymen's S meeting at Mont
gomery church last Sunday in the
southwestern part of Lincoln ccun-
ty, was one Of the best yet held in
the bounds of the Lincoln County
Association. Montgomery church

being in the oak. hickory, black
jack and pine section, peopled by a
community of progressive well-to.
do farmers. The church has a
membership of 208.
Close by is a commodious school

with an intelligent, well-dressed,
orderly congregation and the adj
dresses delivered by Laymen Hobbs,
Maui and Turnbough, supplemented
by feeling talk BY Pastor john
son, were received with profound
attention and seemed to make a
deep impression. Brother Nauls

effective one. Montgomery will
no doubt move up her pegs along
mission lines by the next meeting
of the Association.
1t was the editors pleasure and
privilege during the trip to be the
guest of Mr.. O. r. Brown, one OF
the most wide-awake and progress
sive farmers in Lincoln county, and

and in the afternoon and at night
addressed meetings of citizens at

and school children were also
present. To say that Mr.. Thatcher

dreams, which he confidently
expects to see realized within the
next five or ten years. is a grand
boulevard so feet wide. built by
the National Government from De-
