Franklinyille News.

FRANKLINvILLK, JAM, 22-On Wednesday
of last week while Benjaman H. Crew and
Earl Tuchton, aged about 4 and years re-
spectively were playing with bow and arrow
at what they called Hitting the Coon's Head''
Master Ben. Crew was shot in the eye by his
companion and very painfully hurt. In ex-
animation the next day DR.. keyser advised
the parents Of the boy to take him to an ocu-
list in Baltimore, who extracted from the eye
two pieces of the arrow, one about one inch
long and the other piece about half inch long.
The eve seems to be improving rapidly and al
though the little fellow suffers very much at
night no fears are entertained with regard to
the other eye.
On Friday evening. JAN, 10Th, Mr.. j. Il.
Simmons, formerly of Laurel, Md, entertain

her of their lady friends at his residence. 1t
was an enjoyable affair. MIR. Simmons who
was member of the Laurel Band, has been
made leader of the Franklnville Band.
Mr.. Edward Reynolds has opened basket
factory for the manufacture of berry and

and Agriculture" but was unable to- be- pres
| ent, and had asked him to make his excuses t
| the meeting. He would like to say few words
| about the College and what it is doing.
Since the change In administration more thar
double the number of students are enrolled
and the College now seems to have the sympa
thy of farmers. 1t is, however, hampered by
lack of accommodations and young men have
had to be turned away. Our State is not as lib
eral as other States in supporting the agricul
tural college. She appropriates $4,000, while
Mississippi appropriates 100000 year to sup
port its negro agricultural college. The appro-
priation of $40 900 a year can not be used for
repairing the buildings or increasing the ac-
commodations. The College has been anxious
to form Il closer connection with the public
schools In the coming generation the farmer
without some technical education will he at q
disadvantage.
Prof. Alvey said the College authorities are
especially anxious for the farmers of the State
to visit the Station and see the work.
"A young man sent To the College is boarded,
provided with books, lights and everything eX-
cept clothes, for $40 year. The course is
four years and one scholarship is given to each
county. The pupils are subjected to military
drill and discipline; Prog Alvey, thought a
text book on agriculture IN our public schools
would be valuable.
An invitation was given to the genial and ac-
complished speakers to spend the night in the
neighborhood, but they were obliged to return
to Baltimore.

Mutual Fire Insurance Company

| Mr.. EDITOR: On Monday, 18th January,
an adjourned meeting of the Fire Insurance
Company was held in Bel Air, fort the purpose
of electing board of Directors and to take
into consideration any amendments which
might be suggested to the Constitution or the
Bylaws. Among those which were adopted
was one providing that no member OF the
board of Directors should be eligible for the
Presidency. What was the motive for this
action? For fifty years the board ofDirectors
elected the President who was member OF
the Board during which time was Director
and for many years the President, and no
doubt would have been elected again but for
this action of the meeting. | had seriously
thought of resigning the Presidency if l had
been elected, and if | had | would most as
suredly have advocated the election OF one OF
the board of Directors, following the custom
which had been pursued and which is the Gus
tom of nearly all incorporated companies, and
nothing in our charter forbidding it,
Director could be President as we'll as Direc-
tor 1t appears to me that the motive of this
action Of the meeting was TO get rid OF me as
President.
In looking back over the past fifty years l
find that was one of the founders of the Com
pany. and on the resignation of Col. Charles
s. Sewell, one of the first Directors, who de-
clined to serve, L was elected in his place
Some years afterwards | was chosen President
and have continued as such until January 18th,
1894.
Now let me briefly alude to the condition
of the Company in 1S4S, as shown by the fol-
lowing statement made by committee OF the
board, of which committee [ was chairman,
| and compare it with the company now.

This report shows that the Company is In

been healthy one; no forced growth. Its
investments are safe. 1t has reduced the in
terest on the premium notes to 5 per cent,
and it offers to the people of hartford and
Baltimore counties an INSURANCE on their pro-
perty which is absolutely safe and at a most
reasonable cost.
Permit me to say that l am proud of the
Company. | was at its birth and | have lived
to see it grow ION very small proportions in
comparison to what it is now; and | will say,
in addition, that there is no member of the
Company who has aided and assisted in pro-
noting the prosperity of the Company more
than myself; and l may also say that my
services have been rendered virtually without
compensation.

uncalled for. JOHN CARROLL WALSH.
