Mr.. John Harrison, of Woodbine, while
passing through Defiance few days ago, lost
his pocketbook, containing $3.50 and some
valHable papers TWAS found by Miss Emma
J.. ShipIey and returned to him, after he had
given up search for it.
Our doctor, D. f. Shipley, who was so i'll
with Bright's disease last spring that we de-
SPARED of bis life, but whose mind was d.
rected in answer to cur prayers to a proper
remedy, is now well again, and seeking a less
laborious practice in the city Of Westminster,
where we wish him as large practice and
better health than he enjoyed here,
We are surprised at some of the learned and
revesend gentlemen who are preaching local
Option so hard, as the most available remedy
for drunkenness. If drunkenness is a crime,
and the good book assures us that it is, why
mot ask for the enactment of q law to punish
it? Why should the public mind be continu-
ally agitated about local option, which does
not stop drunkenness, and will not stop it so
l0pg as market wagon or q railroad car Is
perfsitted to be run. If law were enacted to
punish the crime with Imprisonment, instead
of an inefFectual law to remove the instrument,
1t would be more in keeping with Divine
teaching, and, therefore, more effective. We
expect that good and evil will be set before
as al the days of our lives, and that we will
be rewarded or punished according to our
choice

remains were inferred IN the cemetery adIoln-
ing the church. The services were conducted
by Elder VIM II. Franklin. He was "
years, 10 months and days old at the time
Of his death, which. it is supposed, was caused
by old age. He said while living that he was
in the war of 1912, aud yet it IS SAID that he
never received pension.
A number of persons from this section at

Republican Rule in Southern Ma
ry1and.

The Kent News, in an article on Southern
Maryland, says: SIN every county of Mary
land where the Republicans are in power the
taxation is greater than in the Democratic
counties. In St. Marys the citizens pay
state and county tax footing up one hundred
and nineteen cents on the hundred dollars
higher rate than is paid by any other county
in the state. The county is and has been for
years in the hands of the Republicans-mo
than half of the whole vote of the county being
colored. In Charles county the same condi-
ton of affairs exists. The public roads are
parcelled out to the colored voters as pap for
their suffrage; the county almshouse is great
hospital for the entertainment of numberless
colored idlers and others too lazy to work;
indeed in every department of the county
there is ineficiency and extravaganza to such
degree that the people are groaning under
the load of taxation and annoyance resulting
therefrom."
The Port Tobacco Charles county, Times
says: "Bad domination in this county has
been gradually and surely sapping the re-
sources of our county and blghtng its ma
terial prospects by alternating our young men,
repelling immigration, stirring up strife and
discord between employers and employed,
and keeping taxes at an Oppressively high
rate. After ten years of this maladministra.
ton the affairs of the county have reached
deplorable condition. Here we have been
constantly retrograding since the war, while
in almost every county of the South where
this bad domination has been broken down
the course has been one of continual pro-
gress The last statement of the county COM
missioners is not in compliance with law, and
the manner in which the books are made to
balance is, to say the least, very unsatistae-
tory There appears to be no account OF the
S., 900 which the county is known to have
borrowed about year ago, and other mani
fest Irregularities are shown. An investiga-
ton of the county books will probably make
grave disclosures.
