Hon. VIM. Pinkney Wbyte, ofMaryland,
in an able speech in the United States Senate
on Tuesday, opposed the reconciliation of

at the public credit. He said he did not
doubt that he expressed the sentiments of a
large majority Of the people of Maryland.

he bargained to pay $4,000 on the LIST of
April next. He also offered to buy farm
from lady in the same neigbborhood, for
$4,000, but his offer was declined. After
concluding his purchases he borrowed some
money from Samuel Famous and disappear
ed. He stated that he was the owner of a
number of farms, among them one in Kent
county, Nd. After Stafford left, suspicious
were aroused that all was not right, and in
reply to Il letter, Mr.. Vickers, States Attor-
ney of Kent county, stated that the fellow is
known there as great scamp, and cautioned
persons to be on their guard in dealing with
him. Stafford bought farm in Kent, paid
nothing on it, but managed to get the crops
off it. and after borrowing money from a
number of persons, left for Hartford where he
prncliced a similar game.
Stafford is described as n man about fifty
years of age; about feet 7 inches in height,
with gray hair, stability dressed, and with
false teeth; very fond of smoking, and not

the order Of Col Walsh and the conclusion
arrived at by the committee of the Senate
and says; ~
This report, emanating from committee
composed of gentlemen well-known through
out the State for their acknowledg ability
and intelligence, clearly shows that all which
is necessary for the people to DO is to compel,
by the pressure of that powerful lever, public
opinion, their boards Of County Commission
ers to use the plenary powers they are cloth
ed with by the law to devise such system
of road-making and mending as will produce
the desired result
" 1t is thought by many that if the County
Commissioners instead of using their power
to appoint road supervisors as the reward of
of mere partisan services, would adopt the
contract system of letting the mending of the
roads to bidders who could give the requisite
security for the faithful and proper perform
ance of the work it would be greatly adj
vanced step towards accomplishing the OBJ
ject sought. This system of mending the
roads by contract has been adopted by some
of the counties of Pennsylvania, and it is
said that it works admirably With our
county roads graded to reasonable elevation,
and properly shaped and drained, thus assur-
ing a smooth, hard bed save during periods
of freezing and thawing, another end would
be obtained, and one of great moment in
these days of progression, that is, the use
would be permitted of steam wagons, which
| in all probability will ultimately in great
measure supersede the heavy draft teams on
all roads properly constructed and kept in
good condition. 1t is to be hoped that the
farmers and landowners throughout the State
will instead of wasting their time in the effort
to obtain further legislation, which, in fact,
is useless, go to work at home upon their
county authorities, and if the present boards
of Commissioners will not cooperate with
them in devising and adopting some proper
system of road-mending, they have in the
ballot the means of placing in power men
who will not shirk the performance of SC
necessary duty"

GOLDEN WEDDING.-We have received a
copy of the San Francisco Morning Call
containing n lengthy account of the Golden
Wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. John Scott, for
merly of Darlington, Hartford county. This
happy event TRANSFERRED at the residence of
their son, Irving M. Scott, in San Francisco,
on the 18th of December last 1t is describ-
ed as brilliant affair, and a novel ev ent in q
new State like California An interesting
feature Of the occasion was an address by
Irving nj. Scott to his parents, in which he
contrasted fifty years ago and now. An ORR
ginal poem was also read, and the venera-
BILE couple were recipients of hearty congrat-
ulations and elegant presents from their chill
dren and friends.
John Scott and Elizabeth Lttig were mar
ried at the residence of the brides parents, in
Baltimore, December 18th, 1927, and resided
for many years at the old Scott homestead in
Baltimore county, in which Mr.. Scott was
born, and where he lived for II years. In
1870 they removed to Darlington where their
son, Rev. Geo. l.. Scott still resides, and in
1874 went to California. Mr.. John Scott has
been faithful minister of the Society of
Friends for nearly half century, has attend
ed all the yearly meetings in the United States
and Canadas and many of the subordinate
meetings. He is so years old, is still hale and
hearty, and enjoys life. Mrs. Scott is also
fresh and young in spirit, and although not so
active as her husband, is yet enabled to par
ticipaie in the duties and pleasures of life.
Irving M. Scott, at whose residence the
celebration was held, is the third son of John
and Elizabeth Scott, and is an example Of
what industry and energy will accomplish.
He entered the shop of Obed Hussey, at
Baltimore, the first successful maker of a
reaping machine and was afterwards trans
ferred to the establishment of Murray & Ha-
Zelhurst the once famous firm of machinists.
of Baltimore. He was in their employ when
Peter Donahue, n master machnist of San
Francisco, came to Murray & Hazelhurst's to
buy city steam fire engine. Young Scott
was sent to get up steam and show the en-
CINE. Donahue was so much pleased with
his intelligence and skill that he offered him
n situation in his works at San Francisco.
The offer was accepted. Mr.. Scott finally
succeeded Mr.. Donahue in business, and
stands now at the head of the largest estab.
lishment of the kind on the Pacific coast.
