Answer to Local Option.
ROCKVILLE. MD. Oct. 18th. /,

ROCKVILLE, MD, Oct 10Th, 1888.
Mr.. Editor In the issue of the Mont
gon'er1dn, of the 18th instant, communica-
ton over the signature of "Local Option y
requests the States Attorney of Montgomery
county ito inform the voters thereof what
became Of the five indictments issued by the
Grand Jury against Judge of the Orphans
Court for violating the Local Option law"
L suppose your correspondent refers to
the four mot five) indictments found by the
Grand Jury against Dr. A. II. Sommers.
Assuming that this inquiry is made with no
other motive than an honest desire to obtain
information, although l must confess to
some lingering doubts on the subject, pro-
ceed to give the information requested if not
desired
One of these cases was tried at the March
Term, 1882, and after a trial which con-
sumed an entire day and in which | labored
as earnestly to convict as did in any crimi-
nal case have ever tried, the traverser was
acquitted by jury of his countrymen. The
remaining three CAGES were then, at the in
stance of the States Attorney and with the
consent of the Court, "stetted, that is to say,
their further prosecution was stopped This
was done because in the opinion of the prose-
cutting officer, with the evidence then avail
able, verdicts of conviction could not be Sc
cured, and he did not think he would be
justified in putting the county to the ex-
pense of unavailing trials.
Ii your correspondent or any other per-
son is in possession of and will furnish the
prosecuting officer with evidence that would
be legally sufficient to convict the defendant,
these cases can still be tried, if, in the opin-
ion Of the States Attorney and the Court,
the ends of justice and the public interest
require such action. hope have satisiac-
torily answered the inquiries of "Local
Option"
In conclusion, desire to say once for all
that while am entirely willing to answer
any decent inquiry, made in good faith and
court the fullest investigation of my official
conduct since have been States Attorney,
4 shat permit no man to sag aoiM impu'ssty,
that have been influenced in my official
action by any corrupt or improper con
sideratioDs, or that have evaded or sought
TO evade the performance of my sworn
duties Respectfully,
JAMES b. HENDERSON.

A stitch in Time saves Nine.-The
great DIR. Franklin has said: "a wise man
takes hint and makes use of it," We
would advise our readers TO take the hint,
read Heilbrun's new advertisement; he in
tends to make clean sweep of his entire
stock, and having known Mr.. Heilbrun for
twenty years, we guarantee he means what
he says. His stock of boots is the largest
ever exhibited in this part of the country,
therefore do not fail to call there in time, as
no doubt bargains will be sold. Heilbrun's
establishment is No. 402 7th street, N. W.,

recent Fair in Cecil county, Nd, some fine
Spanish chestnuts were exhibited by Mr..
George Balderston, of Colora, who grated
few years ago, and this fall raised few
quarts of them. They ripen some weeks
in advance of our native chestnuts and sell
in our cities for twenty-five cents per quart,
which is about five times the ordinary price
OF our native fruit when it ripens a few
weeks later Farmers and others so situated
as TO be able to give their attention to raising
chestnuts would do well to plant this variety,
or probably what is better, graft their native
trees with cuttings from the Spanish chest
nut.
