Maryland State Farmers AS
ISOLATION.


The MARYLAND State Farmers Associa-
ton was organized in eighteen hundred
and eighty six, with view to some
united action of the farmers OF the State
for the advancement of the interests OF
Agriculture throughout the State.
Its plan of organization provides Tor
an annual convention, in the city OF
Baltimore, on the second Wednesday OF
January in each year, for the discussion
and consideration of all questions touch
ing the welfare of agriculture. This
convention is to be composed OF dele
gates from each Farmers Association,
Farmers Club, or Agricultural Associa-
ton in the State. Iu addition to dele
gates from such organization, the
farmers of each county are authorized to
hold voluntary meetings aud choose as
their representatives in such conventions
as many delegates rs the county has
representatives 10 the General Assembly
of the State.
The annual meetings thus far held
since it's formation, have been composed
of earnest and intelligent farmers; and
by comparison of views, and discussions
of topics, the Association has thus been
successful in doing something for the
promotion of the agricultural interests
of the State.
The outlook for the future of agricul-
ture encourages the expectation OF In
provements and advance from the
depression which has existed for some
years; and it is now all the more to be
desired that the annual meeting in
January next shall be largely attended,
and by representatives from every sec
ton of the State, with view to united
action by the entire farming class to
secure proper and needed legislation III
it's aid from the coming General Assem-
blv.
Ii is proposed to have the convention
sit for period of at least three days; its
proceedings beginning with the annual
address of the president, on the lrSt DAY
an address by the Hon. the Secretary OF
! Agriculture, on the second day, anc
| further addresses OF on fruit culture,
stock breeding, commercial fertilizers
! and other subjects by competent speakers
| on the third day. The convention viii
| further consider the subject of leglsla'
| ton to secure the improvement OF oul
! public roads; a new assessment law, anc
an equitable system of taxation, adopted
| to promote the agricultural interests o
State, as well as other matters OF interest
generally to farmers.
The association earnestly appeals tt
the farmers, planters and fruit growers
of Maryland to arouse such interest II
the subject as will bring together large
number of farmers in this convention II
January. They hope that every clus
and association will send its delegates
and that steps will be taken prompt!

1t is suggested that few farmers II

Whereas the present system OF pur

Sellersville, eight miles from here,
John Bennett, married man, GRIM
inally assaulted two 12-year-old girls
during the absence of his wife from
home. About thirty women, hearing
of the outrage, armed themselves with
sticks and stones and beat Bennett
numerically. He fled, and yesterday
about seventy-flve men went in pur-
suit of him. Train men arriving here
say they overlook Bennett in Wood

him to a tree and shot him full Of

THE COTTON PICXEES' LEAGUE.
This Evening Is the Time Fixed for the
Strike to Go Into Effect.

Strike to Go Into Effect.
Special to The Statesman.
Houston, Tex, Sept. 11.-Mr. r.
NJ. Humphrey, superintendent of the
Cotton Pickers' league, told report
Ell today that l 100000 men will quit
the cotton fields tomorrow night, not
to return to work until the planters
agree to pay 81 hundred for picking.
The most searching inquiry at many
points throughout the South has fail
ed to develop the fact that there is
anything Of formidable nature in
the Cotton Pickers' league.
In the most sanGtroid manner pos
sible he said the commerce of the
world will be affected, and made
other equally as astonishing state
ments.
"What is the strength of the league
at this time?n asked the reporter.
Mr.. Humphrey stopped to consider a
moment, then replied that there were
about ST, 100000 pledges on record.
"Do you apprehend that there will
be a general suspension of work?'
at is hardly business for me to ex-
press an opinion as to that" came the
answer in slow well studied words.
"No; l think it not best to say what
my belief is. The cotton pickers will
not quit until this evening""
"Is there any talk of compromise"
"Several have been asked to go to
work at 20 and rs cents Il hundred,
and wanted permission to make a
compromise at that price"
"Will you permit All agreement Of
this kind?n ~ have not given an
opinion on this point, as | did not de-
sire to do so. | have hesitated about
it. have an abundance of evidence
that tl,e planters in many places have
reduced the scale of prices to 20 and %
cents hundred. No human being
can live on such wages.n
"Has the Col0red Farmers Alliance
anything to do with the league?"
"NOt as an organization"
as there an oath Of secrecy to bind
the leaguers tOgether?"
"There is no oath except the one of
honor. The pickers simply agree among
themselves to not pick for less than
81 a hundred. There is no secrecy, no
obligation, no entrance fee, or any
thing of the kind"
81 fear this movement was started
too late in the season." he remarked
"If we had got to work a month
earlier, we would have shaken up the
commerce of the world"
He was asked why it was that none
of the negroes could be made to talk
about the league. at is because they
are keeping their mouths shut. |

THE MISSING MISS AVA.
She Is Now Thought to Be the Notorious
Ann Adelia Diss DeBar.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-No trace yet of
the missing English woman, Miss
Ava. 1t is now said that the missing
party is none other than Ann Adelia
Diss DeBar, the notorious spiritualist.
1t has been discovered that woman
who answers the description of Miss
Ava, who so suddenly disappeared
Wednesday, called at one of the medi-
cal colleges yesterday.
1t appears that she also called on
Archbishop Feehan yesterday. The
cabman who drove her there identi-
fled Miss Ava's picture as that Of the
woman in question. He said that
after she entered the cab he saw her
take off blonde wig and arrange her
hair. About week ago she visited
Mr.. Saddler, the British consul here,
and under seal of secresy told
him q remarkable and mystifying
story, as Mr.. Saddler confesses, but
he declines to give the tenor OF it.
She was very captivating with full
blonde wig frizZed and banged, and
told Saddler she had lived in Chicago
ten years, whereas she had not been
here as many weeks. Saddler says
he does not believe her to be an Eng
lish woman; she spoke with fluent
accent and spoke French like ma
tive.
The police have become convinced
that the woman is merely in hiding,
and'the detectives who were detailed
on the case have been withdrawn. On
the day of her disappearance the al,
legged Miss Ava called upon and had
an interview with Archbishop Fee
han. She told Mrs. Bolton, with
whom she drove to the Episcopal res
idence, that she was going to see
about getting some properly
which was in the possession OF the
Catholic church in England. She
was formerly a member of that
church, and, it is said, was once nun.
She evidently deceived Mrs. Bolton,
as the archbishop says her talk was
exclusively in regard to her work
among the vicious classes of this city
and was not of personal character at
all. She did not mention to the arch
bishop the fact that she was a postate
from the church or make an overture
