No Change In B. { 0. Passenger Ser
vice.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has again refused TO improve
the passenger service on its Shenan-
doah Valley branch. The reason Civ
en- for it is an alleged decrease in
levenue from its passenger service.
{. w. Galloway, general manager OF
The company, writes letter to the
president of the Winchester Chamber
of Commerce and to Mr.. Thomas C.
Bowling, secretary of the Jefferson
Milling Company, of Charles Town,
in which he says that for the first six
months of the present fiscal year
there has been decrease of $3.50, 900
in the passenger revenue of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad compared
to the six months of the preceding
fiscal year, and that conditions do not
at this time justify an increase in pas
senger train service in the Shenah-
doah Valley. The comparison that
was agreed to by Mr.. Galloway, how
ever, was that between conditions in
the spring of 1914 and conditions now.
MIR. Galloway, however, says that, be-
fore the spring and summer change in
the time table is made, he is willing
to meet the business men of WincheS-
ter, Charles Town and other points
in the valley and discuss the matter
with them. 1t is likely that arrange
mentS will soon be made for con-
ference with Mr.. Galloway.
Though the subject is not touched
upon in the correspondence between
the railroad officials and the business
men mentioned, there is a widespread
belief that the decrease in passenger
business on the railroad is due in a
considerable measure to automobile
travel Many drummers now travel by
automobile, which enables them to
reach towns off the railroad without
hiring livery team from the railroad
stations.

m. c. Garner Killed By William KEGS.

AS the result of an alteration shoTuy
after o'clock Saturday morning at the
Baker limestone quarries, at Buker HUI
Berkeley County. NJ. G. carper, ma
chinist at the quarry for the past seven
years. Is lying dead at his home at Bun
ker Hill. and William KEGS Of Pkeside,
is locked up in jail charged with his mur
der. Caper died at his home shortly al
ter o'cock Saturday afternoon. and
KEGS came to Jail in Martinsburg that
evening and surrendered himself to the
officials claiming that he acted in self-de-
Tense.
From statements made by KEGS man
named Stout and two colored boys nam
ed Gable, it appears that KEGS and Car
per had some words shortly after s
o'clocd Saturday morning and that fight
ensued. KEGS claims that Carper struck
him twice with his fist the second blow
knocking him down. When KEGS got on
his feet. he claims Carper again threaten
ed him. whereupon KEGS struck Carper
over the head with a piece of iron. about
the size of coupling-pin, Carper's
skull was fractured by the blow.
The evidence given by Stout and the
Cable boys before the coroner's jury con
tracicted the statement of KEGS, the wit
nesses saying that Carper had not stuck
KEGS, but had called him liar during
the onarrel which preceded the blow.
KEGS, however maintains that he
acted IN self-defense claiming that he be
lieved his life was in danger.

Why Prince Albert Wins.
Patented Process Is ResponibIe for
Its International Popularity.

HaCented Process Ia ReSpOnibIe for
Its international Popularity.
Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma OF Prince
Albert pipe and cigarette tobacco that
they often marvel that this one brand
could be SO d fferent from all others.
The answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package. where you will
read; Process Patened July goth,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by patented
process that cuts out the bite and parcb
which makes the tobacco so mighty
agreeable and satisfying to men of everv
taste of every civilized nation on the
globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years con-
tinuous work and study and a fortune in
money to perfect. But the result has
proven to be worth all that was expend
ed upon ii, because ii has set free men
who believed they never could enjoy a
pipe or a makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man 10 smoke pipe or to roll his
own cigarettes. And, no matter how
tender the tongue, Prince Albert cannot
bite or parch. That is cut out by the
patented process, leaving for the smoker
only the joys of the fragrant tobacco.
1t is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived" Just about six years ago. il
has made three men smoke pipes where
one smoked pipe before.

The Question OF Waiting Rooms At The
N. CIV. Station.

Much interest is being taken here IN
/ be case of Rev E. P. Moon aud others
against the Norfolk and Western Rail
way Company. which came up before the
Public Service COMMISSION in Charleston
Yesterday. 1t is sought by the petition
ers to compel the railway company TO
discontinue the use of seperate waiting
rooms for the white and colored races at
its station at Charles Town. Much in
dignation has been aroused, and It seems
to be the general opinion among the citi
zens of the community that it is move
entirely uncalled for, and that it is not
desired by majority of the negro race.
and is unanimously opposed by the
white people of the community.
Nor either is it a move to promote the hith
erto good relations between the races
here, but is calculated to arouse bad
feeling among the white people toward
the coored man. OF course everybody
will agree that it is best to keep that dowr
instead of arousing it.

case with all the power at its command

THE CANE CROP.

The cane is maturing under the
influence of the continuous cool
and dry weather that has prevail
ed for the past ten days. Many
factories are being placed in readi
ness to grind early in October,
and in general the campaign is
scheduled to begin much earlier
than usual. The weather we have
had has been exceptional for Sep.
TENDER and Is much like that usu.
ally prevalent in early or middle
October. The cane borer is re.
ported to have damaged the cane
considerably on some plantations.
The weather has been such as to
permit uninterrupted field work
and fall planting is we'll under
way. An indication of the ripe
ness of the cane is indicated by
analysis received from Meeker,

COTTON SHOULDBF
PICKED ; Times
Save Seed For Planting From Sec
ond Picking.

Cotton should be picked three times
if sufficient labor is available The
first picking is light and should be
made to get the bottom hollis that are
stained, discolored, and frequently
rotten from contact with the soil II
these bolls are picked with The main
crop it lowers the grade
The second picking will be the bulk
OF the crop and should be carefully
picked and handled. Care in picking
will make a material difference in the
grade 1t is from this picking that
the good grades OF the crop are OBJ
tanned The second picking should be
held as seed cotton for some time be-
fore ginning. 1t has been proved that
cotton held in the seed for thirty days
before ginning increases the quantity
of lint. 1t also improves the quality
of the lint. A very bad, though com
mon, practice is TO pile the cotton IN
the field on the ground as it is picked.
As soon as there is enough in the
pile to make bale it is rushed to the
gin. Cotton handled in this way is
green, full of moisture, is going
through a heat, and will gin and nap
badly. This gives a bad sample and
a low price.
From the second picking should be
saved the planting seed for the next
years crop. This is important It
will not take the place of field selec-
ton, but, if carefully done. it will pre-
vent extremely rapid deterioration OF
the seed.
The third picking is very small, OF
immature bolls, and the lint is of poor
quality and generally stained. The
seed obtained are immature and UNIT
for planting. II the first and third
pickings are mixed with the second
picking it will lower the grade and
the value of the entire crop.
