The Fair and the IiuuOr Traffic.


Discussing the resolution adopted by the
Dover Baptist association protesting against the
granting of license to sell intoxicating drinks
at the State fair the Danville Register says:
I'VE have grave doubt to a crowded fair
ground, filled with women and children. being
a fit and proper place whereat to dispense Ii
quors,"
We have doubt the subject and that is
what Danvle contemporary meant TO say.
/ public fair is unfit place to peddle IN
toxicating drinks ferry boat. Nor can we
see any reasonable excuse for running drink
ing saloons at such place. The State Fair
association is operated. ostensibly, to promote
the public interest through its ENCOURAGEMENT
of the farming interest. If II cannot sustain
itself by selling tickets of admission and con-
cessions to reputable side attractions it ought
TO GO out of business.
It advertises to n fair for the public bene-
| At and it invites men. women and children to
come and the exhibits and enjoy the va
ried attractions But the sale of liquor Is an
offense to a large number of its patrons and
to order. The organization Is going
far beyond it's mission and serves good pur-
pose but only evil when II engages in the
by engaging in the liquor traffic for financial
profit and it ought never to have asked for a
license. certainly not after many of its best pa
irons petitioned it not to do But it
did in defiance of that sentiment, apply to the
court for a license, the court, in our view,
should have refused to grant it. A fair ground
is not At place for the sale of intoxicating
drinks.--Newport News Press.

MAY PAY Her Debt With Territory.

The Iynchburg News has heard that West
Virginia may decide to cede to Virginia sew
eral border counties in settlement of the amount
which the Supreme court of the United S:.tos
has decided the daughter owes the III 'ther
State. 1t Is probable that the rumor Ia nothing
more and never will prove more. but 1t is OF
decided interest. Virginia would be delighted
to take Jefferson and Berkeley counties,
which at the northern end Of tn" valley
of Virginia. Hampshire and Hardy counties
likewise are peculiarly Virginian in the char
at:erist:cs of their people. The same Is true
OF the people of Greenbrer and Monroe. There
is little doubt that If he question OF remain
ing in the new State or returning 20 the old
were left to the people OF the counties named
they would vote to come back home.
1t is ret likely however, II at West Virginia
deliberately would move 10 give up a slice of
rich territory rather than pay the debt which
the Supreme court has found she owes west

Canning Club Progresses,

Miss Ella Agnew, of Burkevile. State agent
for the Girls Canning clubs. was very much
pleased with the showing made by the girls in
their first public demonstration in the court
house lawn last Wednesday and expressed the
confident belief that Clarke county would be
among the leaders in this work during 1918.
Many parents and interested friends came
during the day to see the girls at work, and
learned much of value.
The other demonstrations to be held at Ber-
ryville during the summer will take place at
the home of the Courier upper Main
street and the tables and other accessories
of the club have beeen moved there in readiness
for the later work.

A Nom SeQuitur.

The fact that eggs are sometimes scrambled
in transportation by parcel post is being urged
in some quarters as argument for curtail-
ment of parcel post activities. Not So On the
contrary. 1t simply emphasizes the necessity OF
abolishng the mail sack and substituting some
other receptacle therefor in this branch OF the
service. Eggs. when well and properly packed,
are carried with safety by the express compa-

transportation by parcel post should be accom-
