Japan is not, however, the only nation that Is concerned in the agricultural pro- gress of the south. Other states are equally as progressive as Florida The Carolnas are rapidly taking up tea cul- tlyation. Since 1t has been learned that tea can be raised to advantage in the Carolinas the indication is that that prod uet will hereafter be a leading one from these states. Then the fertile fields of Texas have gained reputation all over the world and specially has 1t been learned that rice raising Is destined to become an important product from the Lone Star state.

Clapp-Knight

Married, at Emmanuel Church.
Cumberland, Md, by the Rev. W.
III. BenfOrd, on Monday, August
Is, 1909, Harold Clinton CIapp and
Sara Elizabeth Randolph Knight.
The above announcement will
come as a great surprise 70 the
many friends of the young people,
as they have kept their wedding a
close secret until yesterday, the
announcement being made today
in the COURIER and the Washing
ton newspapers.
Mr.. Clapp is the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles +. Clapp.
formerly of "Rosemont," and has
been a great favorite with every
one here.
At the time of his marriage Mr..
Clapp had not completed his college
course, and it is believed that was
the reason the young couple did
not divulge their marriage until
now.

Mr.. Cone Severely Injured.

The many friends of Mr.. Geo.
w. Cone, of Riverton, will regret
to hear that he sustained fall last
Wednesday which resulted in a
broken knee-cap on the left leg.
This injury, which is one Of the
most serious fractures known, may
result in the loss of limb.
Mr.. Cone was taken to Char
lotteSville on Thursday and placed
in the Hospital at the University
of Virginia, where he could receive
the most expert medical treatment
obtainable.
Mr.. Cone conducts the large
Riverton Mills, and is also preSi-
dent of the Berryville Milling
Company, and has host of friends
here who will learn of his accident
with the most sincere regret.

The New State Daily.

The Richmond Virginian, the
new State daily, presents a neat
appearance from every typograph-
ical viewpoint, and its news is well
handled and advantageously dis
played.
Its editorial page shows the inn
press of virile and entertaining
pen and mind, and should COM
mand the respect and confidence
of the people of Virginia at once.
While it does not now so appear,
it is our belief that the Virginian
will, when the Statewide prohi-
bition fight comes, be the organ of
that powerful body of men who
favor prohibition, and will. if for
no other reason, be one of the most
potent and powerful newspapers
in the South or the State.
There is 10 denying the fact that
sooner or later we must face the
Statewide prohibition fight, and,
as the prohibition element has had
no champion among the big papers
of the State in the past, the Vir-
ginian will enroll large number
of readers in all parts of the State
from the first.
The COURIER anticipates hot
campaign in the next year or two,
and we expect to see the Nirginian
in the forefront of the battle, with
banners raised for absolute ami
hilatiOn of the saloon in Virginia.
Time will show whether or not
our prediction is correct.
