The Nucleus Formed.

The farmers Of BryaHtown, acting on a
sugges ion thrown ut b. the TINES some time
ago had, AS all our readers aware, k, n
immedi te ste, 5 for the esabli. hment Of a
Farmers Club" in that neghborhood. We
were Informed by one of its members Tu. s.
day hat The Club is now on solid foundation
and it. future an assure success. At its last
meeting the treasurer bonded and ret eved the
Initiation fee from upwards of twenty members
and row this monied attraction will certainly
hold them together. This f.rmer also Told US
of some Of the advantages that had already re-
suited from the union, the chief of which was a
saving of from So to SIS per ton on all the fer, :
lizer bought by the members, for, by the club
purchasing in a body they necessarily got it
cheaper nd all agents commissions had to be
RENTED. This same rule will work in all the
other necessaries used by our farmers. This
fact should be duly disested by farmers in
other neghborhoods as it can readily be seen
that it is nothing visionary but plain practic-
al result that must follow such banding to-
gether of our farmers. If such clubs are form
ed in every section Can then have grand
union of the clubs and an agricultural society
for the county with annual exhibitions which
have resulted in so much advantage to farmers
elsew here Now that the nucleus has been
solidly formed We hope to see the good work
carried on to fitting conclusion. The aid
Of the TINES can always be commanded to this
end.

Bishop Norihrop to Visit Us.

The various Catholic congregations were
notified On Sunday that it would be impossible
for Archbishop Gibbons to make his annual
visit TO this county to administer the sacrament
of confirmation this year and that his place
would be supplied by Bishop Norlhrop, Of
South Carolina. While all regretted the ina
b:ity of the Archbishop to visit US it is still
gratifying to know that Bishop Northrop has
been selected to take his place for beyond the
fact of his being able and fluent preacher
he has, among the gentlemen of the county,
many old school-mates at Georgetown and
other colleges in the State no will be glad to
welcome their old school fellow in the county
and show him some of the good old time hos
pitality of Southern Maryland and Who will
make his stay pleasant and agreeable. The
Bishop will reach here during the first week in

The Warehouse War

The petition of Mr. Philip A. kroh for a
mandamus to compel Andrew J. Smoot to de-
liver up to him possession of Tobacco Ware
house No was filed in the Superior Court on
Friday morning. The answer was at once sub
mtted, to which the petitioner counsel demur-
red Judge Stewart entered pro torma decree
overruling the demurrer, refusing the manda-
mus, and dismissing the petition. An appeal
was at once taken, and the case will be decided
,, by the Court of Appeals as soon as possible.
The petition recites that in 1882, during a
recess of the Legislature, the Governor appoint
ed Andrew J Smoot TO be inspector OF Tobacco
Warehouse No. .. to fill the unexpired term OF
Alexander Somerville. The nomination was
sent to the Senate on January 3, 1884, and con-
firmed on January IS. BY section | | of article
? of the constitution the appointment was to
continue in force until the next Legislature
succeeding the appointment, or until some
other per- on is appointed to the office.
Within the proper time allowed by law the
petitioner was nominated hv the Governor for
the position of Inspector of Tobacco Warehouse
No 3 but the Legislature adjourned without
taking any action. On April 3 after the ad-
iournment of the Legislature, the Governor ap-
pointed the petitioner to that position The
oath of office was accordingly taken bond was
duly given, approved and recorded, and a
proper demand was made April Is for the of
fee, but Dr. Smoot refused to give it up. He
holds that he is entitled to the Office, the ware
house. tobacco, books, appurtenances and
salary, and prays for mandamus.
The answer admits the facts contained in the
bill. DR. Smoot holds that he was appointed
to continue in office until lawfully superseded.
If some other person has been nominated and
confirmed he would have lawful successor
but as he was himself so nominated and con-
frmed, he has right to retain the office. He
denies that any successor has ever been duly
appointed; that the failure of the Senate to
confirm the petitioner created a vacancy in the
office, and holds that Mr.. krohs appointment
is a nudity, and that he is not duly qualified
to assume the office nor entitled to possession
or to supersede the present incumbent

q board Of tow commissioners for Port Tobac-
co was held in the Register OF Wills office on
Monday afternoon. The election very
quiet affair the most of our citizens being una
ware of its taking place until notified by some
of the candidates for the position. All efforts
to get up an opposition ticket being founa im-
practicable the following gentlemen were elect
ed without much trouble: Wesley Bowie,
Geo. A. Wade, B. L. Bur.h, Samuel c. Pad
gett and II. II. Boswell. Messrs Wade and
Boswell were members of the old board. This
Office has heretofore seemed to be entirely one
of election day and the gentlemen after getting
their names on the ticket and being elected
have drifted into dull apathy rs 10 the needs
of the town and have been of little or no bene-
fit to the corporation. We hope the prescRl
board will be little more active and will at
