Mr.. Samuel Sands, Of the american
Farmer, ended his long and useful life on
Tuesday, at the residence of his son, Mr..
William B. Sands, at Lake Roland. Mr..
Sands was 81 years of age in April last. At
the age of II years he was apprenticed to
learn the printing business and during his
apprenticeship first set in type the "Star
Spangled Banner" from Francis Scott Keys
original manuscript, the song being printed
and first distributed in handful form. In 1884
he purchased the american Farmer from John
s. Skinner, his connection with the paper
having continued for nearly 30 years. Mr..
Sands health was always delicate, but by his
abstemious habits and careful system of diet
he outlived thousands of robust men who
failed to take the same precautions he did
with regard to health. For sixty years he
was member of the Christian Church or
Disciples. Two Of his nine children survive
him. One Of them is Mr.. VIM. B. Sands, the
popular anG able editor of the american
Farmer, and the other, Mrs. Horace M,
Hartman, of Baltimore city.

The Democratic Ticket.

We present above the complete Democra-
tic ticket for State and county offices to be
filed at the election on the Sd of November
next. 1t is a strong ticket and we ask for it
the support of every man who favors Demo-
cratic principles.
The Democratic State Convention, which
met in Baltimore on Thursday, withouta dis
senting voice complied with the almost
unanimous desire of the Democratic party by
nominating the Hon. Frank Brown, of Car
roll comfy, az their candidate for Governor.
Hon. John p. Poe, of Baltimore city, was
nominated for Attorney General; Marion
deK. Smith, of Kent county, for Comptroller;
and ]. Frank Ford, of st. Mary's county, for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals. The nomi-
nations were made unanimously.
Mr.. Brown well deserves the honor which
has been bestowed upon him with 30 much
spontaneity. He is not onlya good farmer
but an energetic and capable business man.
His executive ability has been abundantly
shown In his mastery management of the
Baltimore potsofice, in the able manner in
which he conducted the Pimlico Exposition
in 1889, TO say nothing Of the orderly and
systematic way in which he manages his
private affairs. He is endeared to the peo-
pie by warmth of heart and generosity, to
which he unites dignity of bearing that
the Governor of our dear old State ought to
possess In addition to all bis other good
qualities be ia q Democrat grounded and set.
tied In the faith. He is pre-eminently the
farmers candidate and the farmers of the
State have uttered no uncertain sound in de-
msnding his nomination. He will sweep the
State by an immense majority and we pre-
dict will give US a good administration, in
which the interests of farmers will be well
considered.
1t was conceded that the nomination for
Comptroller must go to the Eastern Shore
and the selection of Mr.. NJ. deK. Smith has
been judicious. The selection fMr.J. Frank
Ford as nominee for Clerk of the Court OF
Appeals is also good one. st. Mary's coun-
ty is Republican but Mr.. Ford has carried it
every time he has been candidate.
The nomination of Mr.. Poe is also good
one. He is one of the brainiest men in the
State, q forcible speaker and thoroughly ia
miliar with all the details of our State gov.
eminent and our statute books.
With such ticket, headed by Frank
Brown, Democratic success is again assured
The platform demands tariff reform in the
most straightforward manner, declares fol-
an honest dollar and for civil service re.
form.
Our county ticket is composed ofable, rep.
resentative men, who, If elected, will, we be-
lieve, discharge their trusts with fidelity and
watchful regard for the interests of taxpsy.
ers.

A Feather in His Can.

This phrase, signifying honor and dis
tinction, arose from the custom prevalent
among the ancient Syrians, and perpetu-
ated to this day among the various savage
or semic viiized tribes of Asia and Ameri-
ca, of adding new feather to their head
gear for every enemy slain. In the days of
chivalry the young knight received his
casque feltherless, and won his piumes as
he had won his spurs. In a manuscript
written ty Richard Hansard in 1898, and
preserved in the British museum, it is said
of the Hungarians that it had been an an
cient Gust ON among them that none should
wear feather but he who had killed a
Turk, and to such only it was lawful to
show the mum Der of feathers in their caps.
In Scotland and Wales it is still customary
for the sportsmen who kills his first wood
duck TO pluck out feather and stick it in
his can
