entire business world.
Now, under our modern condi-
tons and civilization there can
be- no reasonable fight between
city and country. between conn
try banker aud city banker. The
city banker holds the legal re-
serve, collects items, furnishes eX-
change and lends money 10 the
country when il means salvation
in the growing and marketing OF
crops. The country banker on
tie other hand collects for the
city, searches the byways and
hedges and scours the earth for
deposits with which he feeds the
city man and takes money back
from the city at good rates of
interest and on the best collateral
which the country affords. 1t
is regrettable, nay. deplorable,
that there should ever arise ques-
tions of exchange between bank
ers causing friction or trouble
and embarrassment ever in regard
to daily balances. ! hope the
time is not far distant when
some scheme or scale may be a.
dOpted which will be uniform in
character and which will put to
rest any troubles of this charac-
ter which may ever arise. | say
to You the interest of town and
country are mutual, interviewer.
intertwined and interlocked. 1t
is our duty to harmonic any mi
nor matters existing which may
arise to the common welfare of
both. The doctrine of city
against country or vice versa is
exploded. 1t was never anything
except prejudice created by the
demagogues to catch foolish yot-
ers and had no logic or argument
to back il up. The city takes the
surplus products of the farm and
thereby creates market when
none might otherwise be found.
The farmers business friend is
the customer and he needs as
the city needs the country. Throw
customer lives abroad and in the
city. while the farmers business
competitor is his neighbour, right
at his door, engaged IN the same
business. As the country needs
the city, so in a greater degree
the city needs the country. The
away the hoe and the plow and
the cities will soon starve to
death. Their stocks and bonds
and their millions of invested
capital would shrivel and shrink
and vanish: and their sky scrap
ers and palaces would ere long
be only the rendezvous of bats
and owls. If | am partial in this
estimate, il is not because | love
the city less but because | love
the country more. We bark back
with pleasure to the life upon
the farm-to the hills, the trees,
the streams, the SYLVAN scenes
which came straight from God 5
own hands. That life must ever
be the strength of the nation.
From that life to you bankers
here by the sounding sea ! would
bring a message OF good will.

On Tuesday the Western Maryland
League season was opened in Martins
burg, when Shepherdstown played with
the Berkeleyites. The first game was
won by Martinsburg by score of 8 to 5.
| Athey pitched a fine game for Shepherds
town, striking out twelve men, but errors
in his support let in several runs that de-
cided the game against us. The second
game was called at the end of the seventh
inning on account of the storm, with the
score standing l to 1. Meyer pitched
splendidly for Shepherdstown, tanning
six out OF the first seven men who faced
him, striking out eleven men in the seven
innings. While we are sorry that our
boys could not win their first game, they
played excellently as rule, and it was
hard luck that made us lose
The first game OF the series to be play
ed in Shepherdstown by the Western
Maryland League teams will be on Satur-
day of this week, when the home boys
will 90 up against the Hagerstowners.
The game will be called at 1920 a. m, so
as not to conflict with the memorial eXer-
cises, which will be held at 2 o'clock.
The boys hope that there will be big
crowd of enthusiastic rooters at this game,
not only for the financial emolument, but
because Of the encouragement it will give
to our home club. Admission 25 cents,
ladies and children Is cents. The next
games will be played here on Monday,
June 9th, with Waynesboro, and Thurs
day, June 9Th, with Frederick. Both Of
these games will be called at 800.
News comes this morning that the Ha-
gerstown team will disband and that all
games in whichit was to play are cancel
ed. Manager Bragonier has resigned in
his disgust. The trouble is said to be on
account of poor attendance at the games
and the demand OF the players for salaries
of the TY Cobb sort.
A good game was played in Shepherds
town last Saturday between the Shepherd
College baseball team and the High
School boys from Waynesboro, Pa. The
home team won by score of eight to
five. In the first inning our boys had bad
luck, and the visitors got in three runs.
In the seventh inning. however, Waynes-
boro went to pieces, and we made five
runs, including home run by Meyers.

The junior baseball team OF Shenandoah
Junction played desperate game in
Shepherdstown on Monday with our
youngsters, which we won by score OF

that we rung in diversified players on
them, but Wildly Mcdonald says it isn't
so. c. w. Myers, the Junction merchant,
was godfather to the visitors.

Temperance Workers Busy.

An interesting meeting OF the No-Li-
cenSe Committee was held in the court
house at Charles Town on Monday, every
district in the county being represented
and many earnest temperance men taking
part in the deliberations. The petitions
that have been in circulation in the coun-
ty for the past few weeks, and which are
to be presented to the County Court next
Monday, were put before the committee
Over 1000 names OF voters are on these
petitions, and others that have not YET
been handed in will swell the number, il
is said,to near about $500. AS but 1855
votes were cast last fall, the overwhelm-
ing sentiment of the people may thus be
seen. The names include tremendous
majority of the most substantial citizens
and taxpayers.
The County Court will meet next Mon
day morning, June 9TH. to grant or reject
applications for saloon licenses. The pc
titions will then be presented to the court
and strong appeal made to refuse all IL

After the Sinners.

Three evangelists, two men and
woman, sang and exhorted on the street
in Shepherdstown last Saturday evening
and attracted large audiences by theiI
original methods OF converting sinners
They sang with vigor, preached and
prayed fervently, and took up collection
with much earnestness. Their songs,
which were a bit unconventional, held
the audience in rapt attention, and were
made suitable to the occasion. Apropos
to the baseball game played on Saturday,
they sang:
"You can't get to heaven by the baseball
route,
For Jesus is the umpire and he'll call you
out /"
The dance of Monday night was also
touched up in this verse:
"You can't 60 to heaven from the ball
room floor,
For you're dancing all around hell's open
trap-door."

Suit for Libel.

Suit for Libel.
Former Sheriff ]. Davis Billmyer last
week swore out a warrant for the arrest
OF c. S. Musser, publisher of the Shep-
herdstown Independent, on charge OF
criminal libel. A hearing will be held on
Friday of this week before Magistrate
Gallaher in Charles Town.
The trouble grows out of an article
published as communication in the In
dependent couple OF weeks ago over
the signature of Citizen" in which
Billmyer was accused OF furnishing am
munition for certain letters published in
the Register concerning corporation af-
fairs. The article in the Independent
was very severe on Billmyer, referring to
his official conduct when he was sheriff
of Jefferson county and making statements
that aroused his ire, especially as Mr..
Musser refused to give the name OF the
author of the communication.
