THE 1EGIS TO THE DEMOCRATS
OF HARTFORD COUNTY.

In our issue of last week, September
Sth, we published cards from those
Democratic candidates for County
Commissioners whose conduct had
been assailed, denying explicitly the
charges brought against them. This
ought to have satisfied all fair-minded
men of their innocence of the offence
of which they were accused. To those
not thus satisfied and who by their
non-acceptance of the sworn denial of
said candidates tacitly charge them
with perjury, the courts are open and
their proper courS e was to bring the
accused to trial. The Egis accepts
the sworn denial of these men as clear
ing them from the illegal conduct with
which they have, we believe, been
unjustly charged, and for this has
been the subject of false and shallow
criticism. Be it SO. The editor of
The -Kgis has made no man the keep
er of his conscience and is absolutely
Indifferent to the opinions and criti-
cisms of men who, by lending them
selves to the disloyal schemes of dis
appointed politicians and seekers af-
ter notoriety, have practically read
themselves out of the Democratic
party.

THE CHARGES DIsPROVED.

The following affidavit of the Secre
tary and Treasurer of the American
Road Machine Company effectually
disposes OF the charges that any Coun-
ty Commissioner of Hartford county
has been paid a commission ON any
road machine purchased by the coun-
ty from this company. The affidavit
goes further and disproves other asser-
tions made rejecting upon the County
Commissioners and their Clerk.
A copy of the statement of the ac-
count of the Road Machine Company
with Hartford county, which accom-
panies the affidavit and is sworn to
therein, is in our hands and will be
published next week. Itwas received
too late for insertion this week:

That the statement made that l said on
August 18th ''that one of us had been to Bel Air

No one in the employ of this Company has

August 18th, 1898.
Mr.. Moulsdale, when he visited Kennett
Square on the above named date, stated that
he wanted to ascertain what machines went
into the different districts in the county, in
order to see that each district got its pro rata
share of the appropriations.
He further stated that no bill had been re-
ceived by the county for the last machine
shipped. l gave Mr.. Mousdale a bill for said
machine and the dates of the various ship
ments of machines into Hartford county, to-
gether with the amounts received for the
same, showing him our books to substantiate
the statements made.

| machines to be given to Mr.. Moulsdale and
never authorized Mr.. Proctor to pay or promise

The statement furnished Mr.. Hooker this
day is an exact and true transcript from our
books of the account between the American

We are indebted to Prof. Robert
H. Miller, director of the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station, for
copy of the latest Bulletin issued
by the station, the subject treated
being 1.-The Soils of Maryland. The
work describes the various soils of
the State, with the crops and classes
of plants best suited to each, and
gives the reason therefor. The diff
ference in the productiveness of soils
appears to arise from their difference
in retaining moisture and heat rather
than from their chemical composition
or the use of fertilizers. The work is
interesting and throws much light on
the composition of the soils of our
State.

The new order relating to the pay
ment of pensioners went into effect at
Baltimore, on the 18th instant. Here
tofore the certificates were collected
by attorneys, who took out their fees
and RENTED the balance to the pen
sioners. 1t was belived that many of
the pensioners were defrauded in this
manner. By the change the pension
ers must call in person and collectwhat
is due them. Fully 1000 persons were
ON hand the first day. If the present
order remains in effect the pension
attorneys will lose nearly 100000 In

Farewell, dear mother;
You are at rest and shall for ever be;
You could not stay on earth with us,
But we can come to thee.
We miss thee, oh, our mother, so dear,
And oft will fall the suffering tear,
That we shall see thee here no more,
To love thee as in years gone by.
But the mother we loved has passed ant
gone,
And laid beneath the graveyard sod;
Oh, now our hearts are sad and lonely,
Since mother slept in her cold grave.
TITS hard to part with one so dear;
But we should not weep,
Although her voice we cannot hear,
We know she only is asleep
Weep not, dear children, she is gone,
To her bright home on high;
Oh, if we love and trust in God,
We shall meet her by and by.

TNO THE PUBLIC.

In recently published pamphlet it has been
charged that the Clerk of the County Com
missiOners offered to Mr.. Thomas Moulsdale
$40 rs IL commission on u road machine sold in
his district during the spring of 1893.
As citizen and Il tax payer, as well "a Clerk
of the County Commissioners, wish to make a
statement of the actual facts as they occurred.
Some time before the Democratic Primary
Election, L told Mr.. MOulsdale that had been
offered the agency of the American Road Ma
chine Company at commission of $40 for
each machine sold, which had declined.
Some other conversation was had about the
matter and then it was dropped.
L never told Mr.. Moulsdale there was $40
there for him. l never offered him a commits
sion of one cent or told him had any author
ity to pay him any money on account of the
purchase of the road machine, for 1 had no
such authority.
! now emphatically say that if he ever made
such statements to any one they are abso-
lutely false. l can scarcely believe that Mr..
Moulsdale has made the statements attributed
to him.
Very respectfully,
