The nnen-Air Service.


The union opeu-air service conducted
by the ministers of Shepherdstown on
the college campus last Sunday evening
was most pleasing and successful one,
and was attended by couple of hundred
persons. Comfortable seats had been
provided and every chair was occupied,
while many young persons sat around on
the grass or on the steps and the wall
about the campas. Rev. ]. w. Ware, OF
the Episcopal Church, presided at the
service, and the sermon was preached by
Rev. DR.. H. c. Haithcox. of the Lutheran
Church. The singing was led by Rev.
Chas. E. Freeman, OF the Reformed
Church, and was joined in heartily by the
congregation.
This was the first open-air service
held here in a number OF years, and the
people enjoyed it. II was very sweet in
the balmy evening air under the trees,
and spirit Of reverence peVaded the
assembly. Those who were present ex-
pressed their appreciation OF the service,
and we look for many more to be at the
meeting next Sunday evening, which will
begin at six o'clock and continue for an
hour. The ministers urge all who canat-
tend TO do so, and hope that all within
sound and sight will come to the campus.
Additional seats will be provided, and
there will be room for more than last
Sunday. II is also asked that persons
driving along the street will do so quiet

Effects of Hagtown Booze.

There's no reflection on the Presby-
terians, of course, but there were lively
doings on the excursion trains returning
from their reunion at Pen-Mar last Thurs
day. The passengers from the scrapping
belt of Warren county seemed to have
visited most OF the hundred Joints
that adorn Hagerstown, and they loaded
up inside and outside before they left that
lovely place. In one car drunken
ruffian adeinsulting remarks TO woman,
whereupon her husband biffed him a
hot one on the jaw and there was fierce
riot for few moments until the fighters
were separated. A man with big bottle
OF gin poured out a copiouS cupful for
his wife, and she emptied il, except for a
snifter that she reserved for their four
year. old child. Then the husband pour
ed out the lineup even full and downed
il with great relish. In another car a
Warren county man, feeling uncomforta-
bly, warm over his Hagerstown whiskey,
took off his coat. Not experiencing i'm
mediate relief, he removed his shoes,
and then his stockings. A moment later
he took off his trousers, and it was only
by strenuous exertions that his friends
kept his shirt on. Decent people were
greatly annoyed at the outrageous be-
havior in some OF the cars. II has been
suggested that at certain stations along
the line cattle cars be used, reServing the
coaches for those persons who can be
depended upon 10 act respectfully.

County Inspection.

In accordance with the State crop pest
law passed by the last Legislature, Percy
c. Manley has been appointed inspector
OF orchards and other premises in Jeffer-
son county. AS general rule, the fruit
growers OF this section are well informed
concerning the San Jose scale, peach yell
lows and black rot, and their orchards
are kept reasonably free from these trou-
bIes; however, there are still many places
in the county where the general farmers
and owners of town lots have compare
lively few fruit trees which may be and
often are the breeding places for danger
ously injurious insects and plant diseases.
All such places should be visited by the
Inspector, and premises carefully inspect
ed and, if dangerous insects and diseases
are found, arrangements made with the
owners to have the infested trees treated
or destroyed. Any person knowing OF a
neglected orchard that is breeding trouble
for the neighborhood should report the
fact to the local Inspector who will, as
soon as possible, take up the matter with
the owner and have the public nuisance
removed,

Concerning the Hog Cholera.

As the hog cholera is becoming pre-
valent in this section again, the Register
has been requested to urge the necessity
upon farmers and others of burying or
burning the carcdSSes of all hogs or other
animals that die from disease or any
other cause. II is believed that The hog
cholera has been so destructive in this
section chiefly because many persons
have been Indifferent as TO the disposal
of the dead hogs. They have been per-
mitted TO lie in the fields or woods, and
naturally the disease germs have been
carried in every direction. The buzzards
are known to spread the contagion by
feeding upon the carcasSes and then fly
ing TO other sections, carrying the pollu-
ton with them. II has been suggested
that Our County Court would be doing
public service by adopting stringent reg
ulations concerning this matter and then
seeing TO it that the law is rigidlY en-
forced.

Where watermeIons Were Popular.

Twenty-four carloads of colored peo-
pie were hauled over this division OF the
Norfolk & Western Railroad to the camp
meeting at 'Conococheague Island last
Sunday. The Shepherdstown contingent
report having had fine time. There
was good order-not one person was
razored. The most popular place at the
resort was watermelon stand kept by a
Harrisburger. One could buy whole
watermelon or half one, at a somewhat
higher price than watermelons usually
bring, and after the purchase was made
the buyer was advised to 60 to some
quiet place and eat it and then keep his
mouth shut. Some colored gen'men de-
veloped an inordinate taste for wafer
melon, but the mystery was explained
when il was observed that each melon
contained pint bottle of whiskey, with
half-pint bottles in half melons. The
watermelon factory interfered seriously
with the business of the Hagerstown
coons, who sold their booze in the old
fashioned way from suitcase. From
the gingerly way in which the Shep-
herdstown excursionists walked up street
when they returned, Conococheague must
be trifle hard on the feet.

Lecture Saturday Night.

Mr.. Claude N. Bennett, OF Washington,
will deliver his lecture on "The South
Today and Tomorrow" in the college
auditorium Saturday evening OF this week,
August 9th, at 8 O'Clock. This will I'M
doubtly be most enjoyable event, for
the lecture has been very favorably COM
mented upon by men of national reputa-
ton. Mr.. Bennett has fine collection OF
colored slides and moving pictures illus
trating Southern scenes, and these alone
are said TO be most interesting. The
admission will be but Is cents, and as
part OF the proceeds are for the benefit OF
the Episcopal Church, it is hoped that
the hall will be crowded. The following
letter from Hon. VIM. J. Bryan, dated
May IA, 1913, shows what that gentleman
thinks OF the lecture:
My dear Mr.. Bennett am sorry il
the fact that was to follow you, when
the Southern Society OF Washington was
host TO the nation at the National Theater
Saturday night, caused the omission OF
single picture or word from your splen-
did illustrated lecture on "The South To-
day." AS stated then, | had nothing 10
offer that would compare with the vivid
illustrations and striking facts that you so
ably presented. Indeed. | cannot too
highly commend either the matter or the
manner of your lecture. To this lecture
suppose may be largely attributed your
recent election TO the presidency OF the
Southern Society, and upon this ! con-
graduate both you and the Society.
trust You will continue and extend your
lecture work, for in this work you are
doing the country good service.

Dry Times,

y
The drought that has prevailed in this
section for the past month has been a
disastrous one, and it is feared that the
corn crop will be materially shortened
by the lack OF rain. Gardens have prac-
tically dried up, and the pasture fields are
parched and brown. During the past
week or two clouds have banked up in
the west a number of times, but they
passed around without leaving any
showers. Last Friday night there was
an incessant display of lightning in the
north and east, caused by fierce electri-
cal storms in Pennsylvania and Mary
land, but hopes of rain in this section
were again disappointed.

A Big Bass.

~ Dig Dooo'
The largest bass taken in this section
in many years was caught last Wednes-
day by Harry J. E. Thomas, OF SharpS-
burg, in the Potomac river near Suyder's
warehouse, three or four miles above
Shepherdstown The fish was small
mouthed black bass. and was hooked by
Mr.. Thomas while casting with an atifi-
cial minnow, using Kingfisher S-foot
steel rod, a Shakespeare precision reel
and Cohantic silk line. II took Mr..
Thomas twenty minutes to land it, but he
finally got it safely in his possession.
He took il to Sharpsburg, where it was
weighed by James Snyder on tested
scales in the presenceof Raleigh Sherman
and David Hess. The monster fish
weighed six pounds strong, and measured
"a 3-4 inches in length and IA 3-4 inches
in girth. We do not recall that larger
bass = weighed accurately and record
made-has been caught IN this vicinity.
Mr.. Thomas is very proud OF having
landed such a splendid fish.
