1000 AT CAVERNS
LAST SUNDAY
Shenandoah Cayerns Visited BY Over
1000 Klansmen

BY actual count and accurate
checking, the crowd at Shenandoah
Cayerns on Sunday at the great
Khan gathering of Valley organiza-
tons was 1868. OF these, 1856 were
identified with the Khan, and at one
time there were 1906 automobiles ON
the grounds.
Overhanging skies of inky black
ness at first threatened to interfere
with the days program. but only
slight showers fell and the exercises
both within and without the caverns
went through without hitch and
without an accident of any char
acter.
However, the attending Klansmen
were not all from the Valley, as there
were delegations present from Wash
ington, harrisburg, Alexandria, New
port News, Fredericksburg, Rich
mond and Charlottesville, in addi-
ton to representation from all of the
Valley towns.
The prominent speaker of the day
was DR.. d. G. Bacon, of South Da-
kota, and the religious services al
II a. m. were conducted by Rev. H
d. Taylor, Methodist minister from
Richmond. Participating also in the
exercises were many grand officers
of Virginia.
Under the leadership of Prof. FREQ
B. Spiker, the knights of Pythia.
Band, of Woodstock together will
band from Front Royal, which il
being tutored by Prof. Spiker, fur
nished high grade of music fol
the occasion.
| Save for one or two instances thi
was the largest crowd which Vale,
caverns have entertained, Lura,
probably having had larger crowd
several times. However, Sunday
gathering at Shenandoah Cavern
was the largest body of members o
secret order ever gathered togeth
er in this section of Virginia.
The caverns management had an
ticipated a record breaking crowd
and the multitude was fed and care,
for without single jar, hundred
going through the caverns durini
the day without delay or confusion
A unique feature of the program
was the underground initiation of
number of candidates in the yer
bowels of the earth, for hundred
of feet below the surface a fiamin
cross had been erected and here tn
exercises took place.

JUST ORDINARY LYING

The Herald in its last issue carried
an advertisement, paid for, delivered
to the Herald Office by the advertiser
in person, offering Chautauqua tick
cts at a reduced price. 1t was not
the Herald's business to inquire why
the owner of the tickets desired to
sell them at cut rate. That was his
business.
The point is this: 1t has been ru-
mored that this advertisement orig
mated in the Office of this paper
Briefly. we want to say that this ru-
NOR is just one of the many consum-
mate lies which for some purpose, or
purposes, begin in community and
gain credence as they pass along.
We know not where the report
started. We only know that Who
ever started it, is just an ordinary
common liar.

PRES. BENCHOFF
EXTENDS THANKS
Appreciates Efforts in Entertaining
Editorial Association

AS president and director of the
Valley, Inc, / want to
thank one and all who assisted in
entertaining the National Editorial
Association in Woodstock on Satur-
day afternoon. The ladies for their
delightful attentions as hostesses. the
Chamber of Commerce for it's very
energetic arrangements through its
officers and secretary, Mr.. Calvert,
and all who brought their automo-
biles and transported passengers to
Winchester. We appreciate the fact
that this service is of great value
and meant in many cases sacrifice
of business interests.
1t was unfortunate that the party
was late in arriving, but it seems to
many wanted to take advantage of
the trip to the top of the Blue Ridge
area to see the proposed park site,
and this was long ride. I am told
that the editors were hypnotiZed at
the beautiful view from the top top
of the Blue Ridge-Piedmont Noun
tain, and valley landscapes, and that
they told our guides to send them
whatever literature we wanted them
to print, and they would see that it
received wide publicity. Remember
ing that this party included editors
from California, Texas, Wisconsin,
New England, 3S states, we can feel
happy over the accomplishment 1t
will mean wonderful support for
the proposed national park in the
Shenandoah Valley area.
Again, thanking one and all, l re-
main,
Yours,
H. ]. BENCHOFF.

MOORE QUITS
PRIMARY RACE
Auditors Withdrawal Narrows Con-
test to Mapp and Byrd

virginia's gubernatorial primary
race had narrowed down to two can
didates with the withdrawal of G..
Lee Moore, auditor of public ac-
counts, June IL.
Harry Flood Byrd and G.. Walter
Mapp, now constitute the two for the
Democratic nomination.
He does not indicate which of the
two candidates he will support. nor
does he indicate to- his followers
what course they should pursue in
this respect. He shows no hostility
toward either of the gubernatorial
camps, in the following statement:
lowing to the very active canvass
being made by both Mr.. Byrd and
Mr.. Mapp, 1 find that to prosecute
my candidacy for the governorship
with hope of success would require
me to devote most, if not all, of my
time from now until August 4, which
is impossible for me to do without
neglecting the duties of Auditor of
Public Accounts.
Feeling that no desire on my part
to fill the Office of governor should
interfere with the faithful discharge
of the duties of the Office the people
have honored me with for so many
years, l have concluded to withdraw
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor"
Mr. Moore announced his candi-
dacy for governor on June s, 1924
just year ago last Monday. At that
time, there was only one other can
didate, Mr.. Mapp, who had an
nounced on February IA, 1928. Mr.
Byrd did not announce until Novem
Der p, 1924.
For the same reasons that he SCI
out in his announcement, Mr.. Moore
it is known, seriously considered
Withdrawing from the race TIVE
months ago. At that time, however
after comforting with friends, he de
cided to continue in the race, owing
solely to the following situation:
Soon after the campaign began tt
warm up" about the first of thi
year, reports were in circulation anC
widely published throughout tn,
state, that Mr.. Moore was not il
earnest in his candidacy and that a
the opportune time he would with
draw in favor of one of the remain
ing candidates.
These reports are said to hav'
made Mr. Moore very indignant, a
he considered that in sense the,
} reflected on his high sense of honor
1t was then that he said that he wa
in the race until the last vote wa
|, counted.
! Having made this declaration, he
in considering the matter about tw,
months ago, arrived at the conclu
J sion that, although he was not in
J position to make a proper canvass o
J the state, he was bound to stay il
the race. More mature reflection
however, convinced him that
would be quixotic to feel bound b
a declaration made under such cir
cumstances.
Those close to Mr. Moore say tina
Virginia has never had a candidat
who was more earnestly in a race
and that he would have stayed unit
the end had not the campaign devel
oped plainly the situation referred t
in his statement of withdrawal.
