The grain and hay harvest is about through
with. The crops, generally speaking, were
yery heavy this year. Every one seems to be
very busy at this time. Flowing corn and
making ready to haul and slack grain seems
to be the order of things now.
The machinery this year greatly, assisted the
farmers in saving their grain, and all seemed
to do excellent work. Corn and potato crops
are looking well, and the promise is en-
couraging.

Base Ball.

The Brooks base ball club, of this city, has
added two victories to its score since our last
issue. defeating the Quickstep club, of Balti-
more on Saturday, by 20 to ID, and the
Patapsco club, of Patapsco, on Monday, by
1G to 6.
In the Saturday game three or four of the
old Westminster club occupied places on the
diamond, but on Monday most of the Brooks
team was made up of younger players, some
of whom have played but little this summer.
The fact is there is no base ball organization
here this season, so far. Mr.. Brooks, who
loves the sport, and holds 1st base, has rent
ed the grounds, put up stand and fencing,
and when he can get club to come here,
picks up nine to play against it. Robert
Gist, the pitcher, is developing fast into
good one On Saturday the Quicksteps got
not more than eleven hits off him, and he re-
tired seven or eight on strikes. On Monday
he struck out thirteen of the Patapscos and
held them down to three hits. Shaw gives
him good support behind the bat.
BASE BALL NOTES.
There will not be game this afternoon as
was expected, but two will be arranged for
next week.
Driscoll, the old Westminster pitcher, now
ON the Norfolk club, is doing good work in
the box. and a note from him says his arm is
all right. On Monday the Norfolks played
two games with the Richmond club at Rich
mond Driscoll pitched in the morning
game, the Richmonds being shut out, while
the Norfolks scored one run. He held the
Richmonds down to four singles, only three
men being able to hit him, and ten were
struck out The Richmond Dispatch says
the game was the finest exhibition of ball
playing there this season, and the pitching of
Driscoll was excellent. Driscoll says he has
gotten even with the Richmonds for the de-
feat of last year. The Norfolks made their
one run, an earned one, in the eighth In,
ming, and the game lasted but an hour ana
ten minutes. In the afternoon the Rich
monds defeated the Norfolks by score of
to I, the Norfolks having in Firth and
Opdyke to pitch.
The Mechanicstown club defeated the
Union Bridge club, on the grounds of the
latter, last Monday, by score of IL to 9.

An Incident of the Campaign o.
1928.

PIKEsv1ILE, BALTIMORE COUNTY, Nd,
July Z. 1886.
MEssRs. EDITORS In last weeks issue oil
the ADVOCATE noticed a communication
from Mr.. W. a. Waters, of Newport, KY,
concerning certain recollections of the cam
paign of 1928. can also recall certain In
cident of that period, as related to me by my
father: In the autumn of 1928, the Presi-
dental Campaign opend with vigor on both
sides of the then two political parties, the
Democratic and Wing. My father. then a
lad of fourteen years, accompanied his tather
to Democratic political meeting that was to
be held at the town of Freedom, your county.
The Hon. Elias Brown, who was at that time
running for Congress on the Democratic
ticket, addressed the meeting, using as a
platform from which to speak, an old wagon,
which was backed up under large tree near
+ an old blacksmith shop. As Mr.. Brown
warmed up in his address, urging his hearers
TO vote for Andrew jackson, the Democratic
candidate for President, and at the same time
denouncing the principles of the Wing party,
an old member of that party, who happened
TO be present, became enraged at the remarks
of Mr.. Brown and arose from his seat and
called Brown a liar This interruption for q
few moments caused the greatest confusion,
and the old adherent of Wing principles
stood good show or chance of being very
roughly handled, and no doubt would have
been, had it not been for Mr.. Brown himself,
who from his wagon platform commanded
his audience to do him no harm in the fol-
lowing xpression-"Leave him alone,
gentlemen, leave him alone! Why that man
IS my best friend He knows l am speaking
the truth or he would not have called me a
liar"
This humorous little speech soon put all
concerned in good humor and prevented
what might have been very serious fight.
1t is needless to say that the Democrats
were particularly successful in this election;
elevating ''Old Hickory to the presidential
chair, and also obtaining large majority OF
Congressman. My grandfather's first presi-
dental vote was cast for the first representa-
tive of the Democratic party who ran for that
Office in the year 1900, namely, Thomas
jefferson, "The Sage of Monticello" My first
vote was cast for Grover Cleveland in 1884
there elapsing a period of "a years of life
for the Democratic party between these two
votes. Yours, &C.,

Fhe English Elections.

The latest totals of the members returned
to the British Parliament are: Conservatives
and unionists, 302; Gladstonians, 1876. The
total conservative and unionist vote thus far
returned is 942, 437, and the Gladstonian vote
ss7,72S OF the sixty-two London seats only
eleven have been secured by Gladstonians.
The conservatives, in order to obtain a work
ing majority independent of the liberalization
lists, must carry 81 of the remaining 173 seats,
and it is considered improbable that they will
succeed in doing SO. The Gladstonians rely
upon the collapse of the Observation-Disclosures
coalition when Lord Salisbury takes office,
and they are certain that the conservatives
cannot dominate the House of Commons pn-
less the uninnists cooperate with them III Is
reported in government circles that Mr.. Glad
stone is undaunted and is determined to wage
ceaseless battle in Parliament. Political
leaders of every party anticipate period of
unprecedented parliamentary conflict.

Resolred, That in the judgment Of this

and the Board will therefore not consider any
propositions looking to such a change. 1t
