WINCHESTER, Va. Nav aO-rs. nm
tinued hot and dry weather in every sec
ton of the Shenandoah valley and the
West Virginia border counties is causing
much concern and alarm among farmers
ana rrultgrowers and the effects are being
felt by practically every one. There has
been no rain of consequence in this local
ity since May 4. and as a result fruits of
all kinds farm crops and gardens are
making exceedingly slow progress The
ground has become dry and vegetation Is
parched so badly that 1t is feared some
of 1t will not be worth cultivatine Re
ports of damage by the drought come
from every portion of the Virginia valley.
The apple men of Frederick county have
found that the crop of York imperials,
the principal commercial variety grown
here. and which gave every indication of
being a bumper crop this fall. will be
greatly reduced by reason of the fact
that the fruit has not set properly on the
trees. The bloom was never so great
but rain fell several days during the pol
lonizaton period and the bees could not
do their WORK. Young apples in large
numbers have dropped from York I'M
perial trees under fifteen years of age,
but the older trees have not been so
badly affected.
The crop of Stayman Winesaps and
Black Twigs will also be reduced on the
same account. All other varieties. how
ever. have set spendidly. and even with
the decrease referred to 1t is expected the
Frederick county apple crop will be be-
tween 10000 and 10000 barrels.
The funeral of Mrs. Ella kesse!ring,
who was almost instantly killed here the

Kesselring who was fifty-nine years old
and who weighed about 26O pounds. mis-

Efforts Continue to End.

The effort to induce Hayes to get into
the fight was kept up to within two hours
Of the time the former mayor issued his
statement. At that time there was going
on in the city hall conference in which
Mayor Preston. City Solicitor Field and
prominent county leader took part These
three men were in a position to offer
Hayes the support of at least the Mahon
wing in the city and that of a certain
faction in the counties. The conference
and the offer, however. failed to impress
Hayes and the statement was issued. 1t
is said that the conference took up the
question of bringing out another candi-
date to oppose Senator Smith but what
was decided upon could not be learned.
The prevailing idea is that these men
will have a hard time to get the forces
they control behind a man of any strength
and that unless strong man can be
found willing no steps will be taken.
1t is now practically certain that the
only opponent Smith will have in the
attorney general Of Maryland. The
friends of Smith assert that the senator
will win in a walk against Straus, and
they further state that while Straus Is
engaging in a campaign Of abuse, the
Smith managers will not follow suit. 1t
is their plan to conduct a dignified cam
paign for the senior senator, no matter to
time have the friends of Smith feared
any candidate that the opposition might
put into the race, and assert that Smith
can defeat any man In the state Of Mary
land in the coming primary

Liquor Men Hustling.

Liquor men of the city and state are
losing no time in seeking to perfect their
organization and to get the voters to
study their side of the question which is
beginning to stir the people of the state
They are distributing literature of all
sorts broadcast and they are using every
means that is permissible to arouse
friendly sentiment. The contest is being
managed by men who are not in the
liquor business. but the liquor men are
paying the freight The dealers have
been assessed pretty high at the start
and there are some who think they will
have to come up again, for they have
large force of men and women employed
at headquarters and the postage bill is
something enormous. They are making
the fight against odds, as they believe.
but they insist that in the last few weeks
there has set in current of opinion
which is more favorable to them, holding
that local option is more preferable than
prohibition. The fight, however is clean
cut and is for prohibition or against pro-
hibition. If prohibition is defeated. the
same laws obtaining at this time will
prevail.
Judge J. c. Pritchard of the United
States circuit court of appeals. has hand
ed down a decision in the case of the
miners union against the Hitchman Coal
and Coke Company. The case came up
from the northern district of West Vir-
gina, where Judge Dayton held that the
United Mine Workers of America had no
right to organize the miners in the pits
of the company without the consent of
the operators. holding that it had no or
ganization and that it was a restraint
of trade for the miners to be urged to
affiliate with the organization. Judge
Pritchard takes the reverse view of the
case SAYS the miners have perfect right

bids the employment of any violence or
unlawful means in such matters. An

Stuart to Take the Stump.
Gov. Stuart has announced that he ex-
poets to take the stump this fall and to
devote every minute he can spare from
| his duties in making speeches in the
ninth congressional district for his
| friend, r. Tate Irvine, who has been NOM
| mated for Congress. Gov. Stuart is very
| fond of M; Irvine and says that he be-
! lieves it to be his duty to. do whatever he
can to see to il that a democrat Is sent TO
| Congress in place of Mr.. Slemp, who has
| been there for some years. The repub-
| leans are to meet in that district during
! the early part of July, and while Mr..
| Slemp has announced that he prefers to
retire, that he does not want to serve in
| Congress. there is a disposition to force
the nomination on him for the reason that
| the leaders of the party hold that he is
| the only man who will be able to retain
| the district in the republican column.

500 May Not Build.

The latest reports from railroad
circles are to the effect that the 500
Line does not intend to extend their
Ambrose W Whitehall branch any fur
Their this season. This report has not
come direct from the officials of the
500 line. but from authoritative
sources, nevertheless. and it is now
the general belief that the report is
true.
An explanation Of this report and
also of the current report to the effect
that the Great Northern has also can
celled all contracts for work in Mon
tana in 1914, is the fact that during
the last legislative assembly law
was passed giving the state board OF
railway commissioner power to es'
tablish Interstate rates. and the rates
established by the board are claimed
by the railroads to be ruinous. The
Great Northern has consequently
shut down on all further construction
work until such time as these rates
are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Courier.
