Prince of Wales, the heir apparent to the
British throne! 1t is truc Charles Car
roll of Car.olton, on the 4th of July, 1928
broke ground and laid the corner stone of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Philip
f. Thomas, the first President Of the road
the Quaker and abolitonist, and Charles
Carroll of Carrrollton, the Catholic and
largest slave owner Of Maryland, on that

Mr.. Latrobc is row Grand Master of the
Masonic Fraternity and President of the
Historical Society Of Maryland go and ask
him, ask Joshua Nansant, leading man
among the Odd Fellows of Maryland, ask
John w Garrett President ofth Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, whether it will do to
hate the name of Carroll. The editor of

port he has given John Lee Carroll, should
that gentleman get the democratic nomina-
ton and be elected Governor of Maryland,
we expect to hear Of his appointing Charles
Cole, Secretary Of State, or Colonel on
his staff in lieu of Col. l.. Victor Baugh-
man, editor of the Cit2en, who went back
on Groomc, after he had honorcd him so
highly. Politics sometimes takes strange
turns, and this may be counted among
them
