Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1915-03-18

Following the adjournment Saturday OF
the special session OF the West Virginia
Legislature and its failure to pass revenue
measures to meet the States deficit OF
nearly million dollars, a movement was
inaugurated in Wheeling 10 induce the
Legislature to authorize another vote OF
the people OF the State on the question OF
continuing or abrogating prohibition OF
the sale and manufacture of liquor. A
petition is being circulated among the
business men of that city asking the Gov
ernor TO include this in his call Tor another
session of the Legislature which, ii is eX-
pected, will be tor either June or Septem-
Der for the passage OF revenue measures.
THE above statement indicates very
clearly some OF the influences that were
brought to bear to induce the Legislature
to neglect IFS plain duty. The whiskey
people would sacrifice every interest in
the State-schcols, humane institutions,
the very government itself-in order to
continue their infamous business. Theirs
is futile effort, however-we have no
fear that the people OF this State win again
be defiled by the liquor traffic.

When PEG Tankard Was Used.

It is true no doubt that among the
early Anglo Saxons-of the same stock
as the Germans there was q great
deal of hard drinking and q good
deal of drunkenness although after
the incursions Of the Normans thu
habits Of the country in this respect
were greatly improved. Very quaint
and very curious are some Of the reg.
rlations which were adopted for the
purpose Of compelling thirsty souls to
practice moderation At the instance.
it Is said, of st. Dunstan archbishop Of
Canterbury. King Edgar, for the pur.
pose of regulating the quantity man
might drink, ordained that pegs or
pins should Re inserted In the large
drinking vessels then In use. The first
person who drank emptied the tank
ard to the first peg from the top. the
second to the second peg, and SO on.
Anyone who went beyond one pin vas
liable to q penalty.

SEASHORE RESORTS
Of HOLLAND WILL
MISS FOREIGNERS
(By Associated Press.)

SCHEVENINGEN, Holland, April
23.-Gloom has settled over the sea-
bathing resorts of Holland this year
as a result of the proximity of the
Netherlands to the war-zone and the
possibility of the low countries becom-
ing involved in hostilities. The wide
stretches of sandy beach at Scheven-
ingen, Noordwyk and Zandvoort will
in the opinion of the proprietors of
the summer hotels, lack most of their
usual throngs of open-handed foreign
visitors, except, perhaps, those from
Germany who do not have to cross the
seas to reach their favorite air-cure
places, and the season is thus doomed
to failure.
One of the most delightful sea-bath.
ing resorts of Europa-that OF Schev-
eningen, only a mile or two from The
Hague-opened its preliminary season
this month with extremely bad pros
poets for the coming year. Visitor
are here, but visitors who spend ne
money.
Crowds still throng the great front
promenade or lounge on the sands, but
most of these people are trippers who
bring their provisions with them when
they journey hither on the electric
surface cars, while the others who
come to stay for while go into fur
nished rooms or cheap boarding
houses or demand low inclusive rates
at the big hotels. The exploitation
company which owns five or six of the
big hotels, the kurhaus and the pie:
recently announced its decision to
write Off half it's capital
Not only Scheveningen has been
hurt from this cause, but Noordwyk,
which had taken its place as fash
ionable resort, has suffered to a like
degree, while Zandvoort has become
the goal of day trippers from Harlem
and Afsterdam.

HALF HOLIDAY
SUGGESTED FOA
MEMORIAL DAY

In Americus, on Monday next, Con-
federate Memorial Day will be fittingly
observed, as always here, while the
entire city will unite in paying tribute
to the heroes of the Lost Cause. Mil
itia, Confederate veterans, Daughters
Of the Confederacy, pupils of the CITY
schools and fraternal organization will
take part in the impressive exercises
and unite in placing garlalds upon
the mounds beneath which sleep six
hundred hero dead in Oakgrove Gem
etery. Hon. Hansell Merrill, of
Thomasville, an eloquent speaker, will
deliver the oration here. 1t is quite
likely that all local business houses
will be asked to close during the af-
ternoon thus observing, as usual, the
half holiday, that all may attend the
memorial exercises.

FINE FARMS ABOUT

A visit to Americus would be in
complete unless the visitor, no matter
from what section he comes, sees the
magnificent farms and the fine high
ways of Sumter as we'll. Many Of the
convention delegates here this week,
particularly the north Georgians, came
by automobile, and have enjoyed num-
erous drives over the smooth roads of
Sumter fiahked on either side by at
tractive country homes end fertile
farms. Each day of the convention
these visitors, eager to see the fine
section of which they had heard so
much, went over considerable sections
of Sumter's seven hundred miles of
good roads, and became enthused
thereat Every visitor to the conven-
tion was moulded into a booster for
Americus and Sumter county alike.
They came, they saw and were con-
querer, and not few of them may be
ours always.
