Cooperation.

This is the first year in this part of
the great Appalachian fruit belt that a
good many of the orchardists have had
a crop of any consequence and they are
all beginning to realize the Importance
of adopting the best methods Of pick
ing, grading, packing and marketing
and most of them are now ready to ad-
init that the old hap hazard way will
not get the best results.
All over the country the idea of CO.
operation and mutually between pro-
ducers is gaining ground and wherever
practiced upon proper and economic
basis has proven successful. Large
business enterprises have become such
by combining and operating so as to
transact the maximum amount of BUSH
ness at minimum expense and agri-
cultural business is not different in
that respect from other lines of work.

said Mr.. Blue. is to enable the cities
and towns to prosecute violators Of the
law in any infraction without the neces
sity taking the cases to the state
courts. In that way we will haye a
double net of detention of the violations
and added machinery for the quick
trial of those brought to justice. "
The communication. sent to Mayor
Bedell and to the. other mayors is as
follows:

The charge is going around
that the "drys" resurrected the
old liquor issue in the munich
pal election.
1t isn't dead yet so they are not
to be blamed if they had done so.
AS a matter of fact however,
so far as we are advised, the
drys took no organized part in the
election.
On the other hand. the saloon
element was most active and
since there were no contests for
councilmen, it looked as if they
were out to beat Haines for
Mayor.
The plain evidence of their ac-
tivity was ample incentive for
others to draw the logical con-
clusion and apply the remedy.

o temporal O mores /

We doubt if the candidates for
federal offices who spent the day
soliciting votes at the Charles
Town polls on Primary day did
not lose as many votes as they
gained by their activity.
OF course it is altogether a
matter of taste, but such action
does not seem to comport with
the dignity of the high Office
sought.
1t is related of the late James
M. Mason that on being told by
his friend, Andrew Hunter, that
his name would be presented for
the Office of United States Sena-
tor from Virginia, he Immediate
ly left Richmond lest it might
be thought that by his mere pres
ence at the Capitol the decision
of members of the, Legislature
might be influenced.

SegreGate the Races at the
New N. & w. Depot.

The. advisability of providing
for the segregation of the races at
the new Norfolk and Western
depot is self evident.
Such action is not only desir-
able from every point of view,
but also imperatively necessary
under the conditions which will
exist here.
It is hoped that the Railroad
Company will see its way to COM
ply with what is the almost
unanimous wish of it's patrons
here in this regard.
The depot is somewhat isolated.
and without adequate police pro-
lection. Some of the best trains
arrive and depart in the evening
and early morning hours. Pas
sengers must pass through the
negro settlement known as Po-
tato HILL" and rather than sub
NIT to possible annoyance, or
even risk of personal harm. will
unless proper provision is made
at the depot for order and COM
fort, chose other routes of travel.
We are SO near the Virginia
line, where race segregation laws
obtain, that our people are used
to, and vastly prefer the inciden-
tai protection and comfort thus
afforded. The better element OF
the colored race, would raise no
objection, if they did not actually
endorse the action we hope will
be taken towards preventing ra
ciai friction.
After July LIST, when the Pro-
hibition law goes into effect in
West Virginia, and until Mary
land goes dry, Hagerstown will
probably be the Mecca of those
who may wish ON occasion to
Stake their thirst, often unwisely
and all to we'll. This is 1ikeiy.fo
result in more or less trouble at
the new Charles Town depot,
much of which can be obviated
by Railroad regulations for en-.
forcing law and order.
Within the past few weeks,
the Chief of Police of Berryville
was shot down by negroes who
got off the train here, and in the
past-there has been much trouble
of like nature.
It would therefore seem the
part of wisdom in planning the
new depot to provide for a strict
separation of white and colored
patrons, and that every sanitary
convenience should be provided
especially in the interest of ladies
and little children who may be
forced to travel alone.

sisting of baggage and mail car. a
combination smoking car for white and
colored passengers and baggage q
ladies' coach and an observation parlor
car with dining service.
The new trains on the Shenandoah
Valley line are the elimination of d
plan which the management of the R..
& 0. has had under consideration for
several years Of providing up. to-date
service for the people in this section
which will bring them in closer touch
with their most convenient markets.
While both trains will be operated
solid, the southbound section will make
connections at Washington with trains
from Philadelphia. and New York, and
at Harpers Ferry with limited express
trains from Chicago and St. Louis. The
northbound section will connect with
l.trains for the west, and at Washington
with the Royal Limited for Phila-
delphia, New York and points in New
! England.
| As result of plans which have been
under way for several months, the new
train service will be established with
equipment of the latest design, fresh
from the shop and uniformly painted so
that the, Shenandoah Special vii
present an appearance in keeping with
other limited trains on daylight rune.
/ Three special locomotives, built for
express service, have been selected for
the new trains. These engines will be
operated regularly on the new trains,
SO that no effort will Be spared in main
tanning the regularity Of the schedule.
In preparation for the through SER
vice, the track of the Shenandoah Val
ley line from Harpers Ferry to Lexing-
ton has been brought to the standard
of safety required by fast trains. The
Shenandoah Special, will carry pas
sengers without change between Bal
timore, Washington, Harpers Ferry.

Strasburg Junction. Harrisonburg,
Staunton and Lexington.
| The Shenandoah Special will leave
Charles Town, East bound, at 1926 p.
M, and will pass Charles Town, South
bound. at 1901 p. m. The only other
change of schedule is that train No. 81

PLAY FOR STATE
CHAMP |ONSH|P
Industrial Leagues of State May
DECIDE to See Which City is
Boss of the industrial
Leagues.

Secretary Fred Schnable of the
Commercial League Base Bail Lea
que, has received a letter from AL
Ian Walters, secretary Of the Mer-
riu Industrial Base Ball League, in
which Mr. Walters suggests that it
would be a good idea to pull off a
series of games between the Indus
trial league of the different cities.
league Championship. The idea being,
as we get it, to have the champ
ions of the respective cities meet in
a post season series to decide which
city would be entitled to the champ,
ionship.
The idea is a good one and We
would like to see the Biron Park
team, which We predict will be the
Grand Rapids champs grab off the
state championship.
There are six teams in the Mer-
rill league-Portage has fourteen,
Fond du Lac has eight, Racine has
two leagues of eight teams each, Su-
perior has eight teams and Grand
Rapids has eight.
If this state championship of In
dustrial leagues stuff can be pulled
off, the right way to go about it
would be to have an inter-city com
mittee to arrange the schedule. An
other thing that should be done,-
| would be to have a list of the play
ers of each team in each league so
| that when it came to the playing of
| the championship series, a built up
team could not be put in the field.
OF course the simple filing OF names
would not prevent a dishonest man
| agement from substituting men who
would play under the name of reg
ular team players. In making up the
rules to govern the championship Sc
ries, it would be well to see that
each league agrees that the team
competing for the champions hip be
made up of the men actually be-
longing to that team and not allow
ringers to be put in the lineup.
We do not believe that any league
would be dishonest and unsportsman-
| like enough to put ringers in, but
it is just as well to be on the safe
side when there are ais many as 46
teams in the race.
Now the local league players want
to get together on this matter and
make up their mind as to whether
or not they want to get in on the
state championship. Fred Schnabel,
the local secretary, will be glad to
have each manager express his opin-
ion on this matter so that he can
| give a decisive answer to Mr.. Wa
| ters of Merrill.
