preparation, but did not think it profitable
TO rlow later than August.

much benefited and fair yield expected.
BE thought all July blowing should be re.
plowed Immediately before seeding to pre-.
vent garlic. He also thought the land
should not be plowed deep, but thorough.
The examining committee reported as
follows: We have carefully examined the
farm, growing crops, stock, &C, of Mr..
Tennison and find crops doing fairly well,
considering the excessive drought now pre-
waiting. Horses and cattle are looking
well; sheep and hogs fine; barn and sur.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT baseball
game played here Monday last, was the
poorest game seen on the town grounds
this season. Fly balls were dropped,
ground balls let pass and bases stolen TO
the number of sixteen. While both teams
batted about equal the visitors fielding was
shade better.
At the ending Of the sixth inning the
score stood TO II in favor of Bryantown.
The seventh opened with Dorsey going to
first on balls, II. Fenwick hit 10 right. Dent
sent the ball in the same place and on J.
Boarman's error Dorsey scored. At this
stage OF the game Edelen claimed that the
spectators were too close to the base run
ming lines. The umpire ordered the crowd
back, and was promptly obeyed. M.Combs
then hit in front of the plate and Dent was
forced to second. III. Fenwick crossed the
plate on the throw to second; F. Fenwick
hit TO third, stole second and Tailed on a
passed ball, making the fourth run in that
inning with one out, and the score II to
IL in favor of the visitors. The spectators
had begun at this time to applaud the home
team and the Bryantown boys refused to
play longer unless the noise was stopped.
After long delay and considerable argu.
ment the umpire declared the game for
feited TO Leonardtown by the score to o.
In the early part of the game Fl. A.
Turner was hit on the arm By pitched
bali and had to retire from the game and
soon after D. Boarman in sliding to second
injured his ankle so badly he had TO be
carried from the field.

Labor I1eaders Say That Not Enough Il Re-
ing Done and Mako Large PROPOSAL.
Labor leaders are complaining that
the government authorization to the 10
cal authorities to spend money upon re-
lief works for the benefit of the unein-
ployed is not taken advantage of in a
half dozen districts. The result is that
distress is rapidly becoming acute in
most Of the large towns, to the great
benefit of the socialist and anarchist
agitators. 1t is difficult to see what
more tho government can do, unless it
go in for state socialism ON gigantic
scale, for which public opinion is not
ripe.
The latest proposal is that the gov
eminent should guarantee loans for. say,
$3.50. 0OO. 900 to enable the carrying out
Of national system Of foreslore recla-
nation all around the coasts. Such
work, wherever undertaken by private
enterprise. has certainly proved profit
able. and it is urged that Holland has
demonstrated its practical and remu-
| lucrative character al government en-
terprise.
There is no reason to doubt that in
the London district alone the reclama-
ton of the foreshores of the Thames,
from the metropolis to the sea. is per-
fectly feasible, and would provide work
for thousands for many years, be of i'm
mense public benefit, and yield a good
return on the outlay, hut the govern
ment naturally hesitates to take the first
step in such a vast undertaking.-Lon
