Staunton OFF ..Water WAGON .

Staunton, the principal town of the
upper Shenandoah Valley, which has
been ON the water wagon" for the
past two years, jumped of last week.
Two hundred and twenty i've negroes
voted, and it is believed that they vot-
cd almost so1idly for the vets.
Much surprise was expressed at the
total vote cast falling short by some
3UO or more the total registration.
This may have been caused by the
conditions of things at the polls at
various times during the day, when
the line in waiting was so, long that
the man at the end was an hour and q
hair from the goal. Some men. not SO
much interested as others in the days
outcome, went to the polls, and, seeing
the long line, went away and failed to
return.
The victory was celebrated by the
vets, who ran up and down the streets
shouting. More drunken men were
seen election night than at any time
since Staunton has been dry.-Star.

According to the map, Berkeley
county contains I95, 829 acres of land.
Conservative real estate men tell US
that about two years ago all the pur-
chasable land of Berkeley county could
have been purchased at least $40 per
acre cheaper than would be true today.
In other words the last two years have
added to the assets of this county 81, 1853,
29o Not by artificial imitation but due
to a bonafide and legitimate demand for
Berkeley county real estate.
Numerous causes have combined to
bring this about, but the one patent
fact is clearly realized by most of us
that the main impetus to the advance
has been given by our apple shows.
Through them we have made known to
the outside world land to many 5of our
own people) facts about Berkeley
county of which they little dreamed
The notification of these facts by
personal investigations has led to a
large number of investments which
have properly enhanced the values Of
all other properties.

apple shows have earned Berkeley

It is indisputable, that ma
jority of the white citizens of
Staunton voted against the saloon
at the license election there last
week, and that with the negro
vote eliminated, the town would
have stayed dry" Also it is
thoroughly well understood that
outside liquor interests poured in
the money to debauch the pur-
chasab1e degenerates-white and
black.
When the intelligent, respon-
sible white people of commune
ty find themselves in a minority,
they will cheerful1y acquiesce in
the result-but nothing is ever
settled until it is settled right
and the Ang1o-Saxon will never
submit to the domination of the
negro and base white element.
It is such results that is draw
ing thousands of Democrats to
the Statewide prohibition move
ments throughout the South-to
defeat the combination of rene
eades of both parties. who know
no politics but liquor"
Like Jay Gould's explanation
of the Erie Railroads politics
the brewers and distil1ers are for
the Democratic party in Demo
cratic States, for the Republican
party in Republican States and
for liquor everywhere.
That is why many Democrats
who do not believe in prohibitory
and sumptuary legislation and
while una1terab1y against saloon
rule, stand for the widest liberty
to the Individual in his personal
habits, are being driven to Pro
hibition, as the lesser of two evils
and to curb this cruel devil OF
his will.

Wheeling Man Options Orchard.
James K Hail To Organize Local Com
pany.
Has Option ON Orchard of-1o0@Acres
Gives Interesting Interview OF
Fruit Section


After spending week in the great
fruit growing section of Berk eley,
Mineral and Jefferson counties, j ames
K. Hall, ex-postmaster, returned home
yesterday after securing an option on
100 acres of five year old apple trees
and a peach orchard containing 5000
three year old trees bearing tins year.
These orchards are located near keyser,
in Mineral county and are in the center
of the fruit district.
Speaking of the fruit growing region
of the eastern panhandle. Mr. Hall
stated that he was much enthused over
his visit and that the eastern panhandle
offered rare opportunity for investors.
he expects to organize q company of
Wheelingites and take over the proper
ties he has under option. During the
past five years, Mr.. Hall states the de-
yelopment of the fruit section has been
wonderful, and he believes that If the
local people would investigate this great
fruit growing region, that they would
find that investments there would bring
better and quicker returns than any
other business they could invest their
money in.
Plttsburg, New York and other east
ern capitalists are now hocking into
that section he stated, and are buying
up all the properties offered for sale,
and it will be but short time, he states,
until practically all the land offered for
sale is purchased by outside capitalists.
