What's the matter with the American
farmers that they do not raise enough
potatoes to supply the demand IN the
United States? 1t may be news to many
that they do not know. but the statistisian
of the agricultural department. at Wash
iugton, in his monthly report for last
mouth, shows this to be the case. We
import something like six million bush
els year, from great Britain and Can
ada, as well as smaller amounts from
Holland; Belgium and Germany
Of course we export potatoes also. but
the imports exceed the exports of this
toothsome tuber. Within the past ten
years we have imported $4,000. 900
bushels more than we exported; for which
we paid over $4,000, 900 This very
tidy sum should have gone into the peck
cts of our own farmers Now that there
is such a narrow margin of profit in
wheat-raising, Why do not some Of our
wheat farmers turn part of their acreage
into potato fields? There is more money
in the crop than in the wheat Perhaps
however, the fact that potatoes require
attention than wheat, especially in the
matter of keeping the Colorado beetles
from destroying the plants, may explain
the disinclination of our farmers to raise
potatoes.

Going for the "Coons"

The Times in its issue of September
9th, 1890, when the unjust and unfair
registration law, fathered by Mr.. +. NJ.
Cox aud Mr.. G. G. Lancaster, the pres
cnt monopolistie owner of Chapel Point,
paid its respects to many Of our colored
people for whose votes it is now seeking
for Chapel Point in this way.
"0ur Republican friends are so much
chagrined at the fact that, by virtue OF
the registration and election laws passed
last winter, they are deprived of the
poor privilege Of bringing those Z, Wash
-ittfttoa ceepsn down into Southern Mary
lanl to vote, aud Of driving the colored
brethren geuerllly up to the polls IN
riotous hers and see that they "vote
de ticket to man, that they are max
ing loud talk about contesting both the
laws on the ground of unconstitutionali-
ty This matter was discussed at the
recent meeting of the Republican State
Committee and the Hon Frederick
Stone and Col. Allison Wilmer, among
others, are reported to have advocated
such ,etion.
We do not blame our friends for kick
ing against these salutary laws. for I'M
doubtedly it has been only BY virtue Of
importing Washington negroes at cleo
ton times, and driving The county ne
groes up to the polls from the break
fast in herds and making each man
vote ode ticket" that they have been
able to control Southern Maryland.

But one more week exists between

to give expression By ballot to their
views on the question Of the removal Of
the county seat The gravity of the
question is our apology for having SO

ieet We hold the future welfare of our
county paramount 20 all other questions
and fighting on that line, we mean to
keep the subject before cur people fol
their careful and dispassionate conside.
ration until settled.
In considering SO important matter
all personal feelings, personal and po-
litical prejudices and petty batreds
shosld be controlled and laid aside -
Where the county seat will be located
there it will remain for many years tc
come; if therefore, in the qualification Of
any desire as to th matter not actuated
by purpose to promote the common
good, the voters Of the county make q
mistake in the location of the sane,
regret will soon follow that will
haunt them the balance of their DAYS
This we say to one class Of our ,oople-
that class, of which, comparatively speak
ing. We are glad to say there are but
few in this county who act altogether
without due thought or reason.
To the other elass-the fair minded
and conservative thinkers we urge, as
we have often done before, to consider
all the advantages and disadvantages Of
the two locations, bidding for the coun.
~ seat and the motives underlying
the candidacy, so to speak, of each. The
advantage Of the location of Ii

have led to the substantial growth of the
place. The hope that one day it NIGH
be made tho county seat, was altogether
secondary consideration. There is nc
business industry being carried on here
to-day that will not continue, regardless;
of the location Of the county seat. How
about Chapel Poiui? Does it show any
development whatever? The extent o

that altogether without reason, is. tha
