TO THE TAXPAYERS OF
CECIL COUNTY.

In short time it will be necessary to make the
annual levy for the county expenses On assum-
ing the Office of Commissions we found the
finances OF the county in very unsatisfactory
condition. and the county Indebtedness fully as
large as had been predicted, and amounting to at
least eighty thousand dollars.
In view of the depressed condition Of the farm
ing interest especially-which pays taxes upon
eleven million dollars of the fourteen millions
assessed-and with the knowledge that few farm
ers of late years have succeeded in realizing
sufficient to keep them out of debt, the Commits
soners thought it would be Il wise step to apply
to the late Legislature for law funding the
county Indebtedness not already provided for. In
order to avoid the necessity of levying an amount
sufficient to pay the deficiency Indebtedness.
We believe the new loan could have been dis
tributed over the space of ten years. and portion
paid each year, and the money procured at rate
much less than what the county has had to pay
upon sums illegally borrowed to meet the demands
upon the county, securing at the same time an
equitable and fairly moderate assessment OF
taxes.
1t is hardly necessary to remind you that
although our application to the Legislature for
law funding the amount of the Indebtedness was
recommended by many OF the best citizens and
heaviest taxpayers of the county, irrespective Of
party appeal met with diSiavOr, for the reason
doubt, that the political affiliations of your
Commissioners and their views were at variance
with the views of the gentlemen who shape
matters in their own party well as outside,
simply for their own personal ends.
1t Is our intention to fairly, honestly and
economically administer the business of our Office
but, we are sorry TO say. little encouragement is
given and little desire manifested in some
quarters % relieve you OF the onerous taxes by
necessarily be heavy.
When appealed to the opponents of our
measure to iorbear opposition they replied that it
was our duty to levy Tor the present deficiency
and not to seek legislation and as we failed to
obtain relief from the Legislature we ars obliged
to resort to the only legal means left us, and at
next meeting must of necessity levy Tor
edness amounting to thirty five or forty thousand
dollars, as also the amount required Tor county
expenses for the coming year.
We depIore this condition of affairs, but beg
you to remember the debts are not of our con-
tracing, and if in underwriting to psy them the
levy is beyond what it has been remember it is TO
meet outstanding liabilities not created by us but
by our predecessors in office.

Released on Bail.

The rather unusual matter of a special
session of court occurred on Thursday.
Judge Stump sitting to hear habeas
corpus case.
Some weeks since the house of Sarah
James, a colored woman residing in the
Seventh district. was burned and Richard
Bladen and Benjamin Larue, colored
men residing in the same district, were
arrested on the charge Of arson. They
were given hearing before Magistrate
B. F. Caldwell, who committed Baden
to Jail and discharged Larue. 1t was not
in the power of the magistrate to grant
bail in a case of this character A mum
Der of Bladen's friends, both white and
colored, who believe him innocent, not
caring for him to be imprisoned until the
September term, employed r. c. Thack-
cry, Esq, who had writ of habeas
corpus issued.
There were many persons present from
the Seventh and Eighth districts at the
hearing. The principal witness against
the prisoner was his brother-in law
Richard Carter, who lived with him. His
evidence was so very contradictory that
the judge sad he must either be an imbe-
cile or have a very short memory. 1t was
in substance however that on the night
after the burning of the house he, by
looking through crack, saw Bladen con-
ceal gun, quilt and some womeu's
underwear beneath the sheeting board of
a room, and told his wife that he and
Ben Larue had burned Sarah James's
house. 1t appeared that Carter had cause
to dislike Bladen, concerning woman
that Bladen did not care to have at his
house. The constable testified that he
did not find the goods where Carter said
they had been placed. Several colored
witnesses were called and made consid-
cradle amusement for the few spectators
Judge Stump without hearing the wit
nesses for the defence admitted Baden
to bail in the sum of $500
Mr.. John NJ. McClenahan. of McClen
ahan Bros, in whose quarries Bladen was
employed went his security for that
amount. States Attorney VIM. S. Evans
represented the prosecution.

An Old Paper.

We were recently shown by Rev. John
md Donegul and Tyrone -Adcertiser, of
August 6, 1899 Il is very interesting
paper and although showing signs of old
age can yet be read without difficulty.
1t contains four pages. each with four
columns. A large part of the paper is
taken up with the publication of petitions
declaring i'll favor of legislative nnion
OF Ireland, with Great Britain, which is
of peculiar interest at this time, owing to
the agitation of home rule for Ireland.
OIe of the petitions reads as follows;
1--WE, the subscribing Noblemen, Gentle
men and F .eehol1ers OF the county of
Kerry, feel it to be our duty at this
important crisis, to declare our opinion
that au incorporation of the Kingdoms OF
Great Britain and Ireland, by au union
of their Legislatures, would be a measure
of the greatest advantage to both; tend
ing to promote the commerce and indus
try of Ireland, to a!lay, the political and
religious distractions of the country, aud
to increase the strength, the security
and resources of the Empire" Another
petition states we ardently hope our
countrymen will no longer be duped by
the visionary independence which ha
prejudiced many of them against an
union that they will cease to prefer ideal
dignity to real su 5stantial happiness.
The Court or assizes reports are inter
esting. Robert Fulton for the murderer
of one OF the Dunlace cavalary was
found guilty of manslaughter. ordered To
be burned in the band and imprisoned
IL months. Elizabeth Parker for steal
ing IS yards calico was sentenced to be
burned in the hand and imprisoned a
week. George Grafton and Richard
Bishop were ordered to be hanged for
stealing linen from Il bleaching yard
Four other men were were ordered to be
hanged Cor Stealing articles of wearing
apparel.

"The Old Maids Picnic"

What the participants, and not we.
dub the "Old Maids Picnic" took place
on Wednesday last at White Hail. About
twenty maidens of various and uncertain
ages formed the party. These ladies
picnic annually at White Hall. One of
the veterans is said to have astonished
her sisters in misery by declaring about
lunch time thatit would be nice to have
just one man along to handle the bas-
kets" The backsliding of this lady in
regard to the necessity of the socalled
stronger sex to the happiness and comfort
OF the weaker. is attributed by the more
steadfast manhaters to the degrading
effects OF leap year. This frail sister will
be closely watched by her eagle eyed
companions during the remainder of the
year of the three eights less the ranks of
the "invincbles' be broken.

Inherited Diseases,

No fact of nature is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact OF the
inheritance of disease.
Modern science which has illuminated
so many dark corners OF nature, has shed
new light on the ominous words of tho
Scriptures, 1.-THE sins of the fathers,
unto the third and fourth generation.n
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is hered-
itary in a marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: No organ
or texture of the body exempt from
the chance of being the subject of
hereditary disease Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions of
the body, are more CT less liable to be in
herited. The important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases is a subject of intense in
terest to all. Fortunately nature has
provided remedy, which experience
has attested as infalIible, and the rene
dy is the world-famous Swift's Specific,
q pure vegetable ompound-nature'
antidote for all blood poisons. To the
afflicted it is a blessing of inestimable
value. An interesting treatise on

An Abundant Harvest.

The oldest inhabitant can not re-
member the time when there was a
more abundant harvest than the one
that has just been gathered through
out southwest Wisconsin. Farmers
were blessed with very favorable
weather for securing the grass crop and
thousands of tons of excellent hay
have been put up. During the past
two weeks nearly all of the small
grain has been harvested. With the
aid of the Irvine binder, the work has
been well and quickly done, and the
yield will be immense. Although oats
is the leading cereal, patches were
sown in wheat, barley and rye, all of
which will yield well. Not only is the
harvest abundant in this section, but
reports show that the good yield is
general throughout the country, and
while we should greatly rejoice thereat,

years in the application of new and
