Iusitiun-Mr. wuIbridge A AIsU Had
Something to Say About 1t.

The Mount Pleasant Citizens Associa
ton held most important and interest
ing meeting last evening. There was a
large attendance, and it was in the air that
something out OF the ordinary was going to
take place.
And il did.
Very soon after calling the meeting to
order President J. W. SomerviIle resigned
the chair To Vice President The odore A.

made Il personal explanation.
Mr. Somervillc said that Ii was due
himself ana the association that he should
make IL plain statement as TO the position
he occupied relative 10 tie 200 gravity
F. railroadbill. He had been misrepTe seniedin
tho Post of March rs, and on that particu
lar point he desired to make statement.
He had been reported sa ying 10 the Dis
trict Commissioners that ''he could get
the Citizens Association railroad COM
mittce TO ii;tiorse the Eco bill, and that the
property holders along the route were in
favor of it,"
This he emphatically denied and then
went on to say that in talking the matter
over with the Commissioners he stated
that ''he would, If it were nece ssary, bring
the matter before the association Tor con
sidcration."
HE HAD A STATEMENT.
Among those who are opposed To the
proposed Zoo road are Mr.. Ii. d. Wal
bridge, a member OF The railroad commit
tee OF the association, and Col. J. NJ. Clapp,
who have entered protests against its cor
Struction before the District Commis
sioners.
Colonel Clapp was reported as having
stated that any one who said he had with
drawn his objections to the building OF the
road was Ian unmitigated liar" and that
he did not believe il would be built because
there was no time limit fixed for its COM
pletion.
Having heard the statements of Mr..

a race to bc the man TO introduce the

Colonial Beach. Va, A pril AT a meet
ing held in the town hall here last night
the following were nominated for mayor
and council:
Samuel ID. Watson for mayor. For council,
Daniel Pfiel of Colonial Beach, and John
Rome, Frank Renshaw and George Slant
of Washington, d. c.

of the fight between the summer residents
of Colonial Beach and those who make the
place their home the Year round. An effort
has been made by the Washington people 10
nominate city man fOrmayor and withthat
end lnview the CoIonlal BeachCitizens' Asso-
ciation senta committee to the Beach several
weeks a go to treat withthe winter residents.
At that meeting considerable i'll feeling
was developed and it was evident that the
winter residents were disposed to nta goniZe
the city people, notwithstanding the fact
that they are dependent upon them for
their livelihood. The committee made the
point that city man in the mayors office
could better further the interests of the
Beach and bring the attention of the public
to the place as a summer resort.
They own improved property which is
taxed to the amount of $50, GOO, against
$4,000 held by the county people and In
view of this fact think they should have the
majority vote in municipal matters.

city patrons and are trying TO freeze them
out. The fight represents the advanced
ideas, of the city against the slower and
more stolid way OF the country people.
They consider the chief duty OF the ma yor
is in hearing petty cases that come before
him. while the WashipgtOnians think that
it should be the chief duty OF the mayor
to further the int terests of the Beach, keep
it before the public as a summer resort and
boom the town in every lanner possible,
leaving the minor duties TO a mayor pro
TEN or justice OF the"petece.
The country people have nominated their
ticket and it remains to be seen if the
summer residents who own the majority OF
the taxable property will put an oppos-
ton ticket in the field.
Should they do so they will undoubtedly
carry the day as they are largely in the
majority.

resolution that raids should not he whole

Directors were appointed, and it is their
duty TO see that there is a thorough or
Eanization of those who are Interested
IN an anti division crusade.
The meeting was somewhat divided in
ideas OF prosecution OF its work. Mrs.
Barrett was firm in her declaration OF
what she considers 10 be the proper thing.
Tie association agreed with her except
in the sole instance OF making raids, and
on this point the remainder of tie aSso-
citation differed With her. They think the
raids should be made in individual cases
while Mrs. Barrett is in favor Of ending
tbe matter summarily by wholesale raids.
snd With that quietude which would dis
arm suspicion.
Mrs. Barretts idea as expressed re-
ceiYed very hearty acceptance and went
through quicker than a clock. Mrs. Bar
ret showed the difference between a prac-
t!cal reform and the imaginary idea that
had been promulgated 10y fOstercrS OF "a
system as already committed.
A constitution and bylaws went through.
This constitution was an aggressive paper
against the general lOOSencSS of the Dis
trict officials. in regard TO the sustenanee
of the social evil. The society seems TO
know as we'll as everybody does that the
social evil exists. and it takes a practical
idea that tEc wiping out is but question
OF time.
Mrs. Barrett was made leader OF the
directors. and her work is endorsed by
the remainder OF the members Of the as
BUCiation-

working toward the same ends they were

Joke was on the Boys.

'Assayers are the common butt in all
mining camps, and, as rule, l believe
they get 1t in the neck undeservedly,'
said a wel-known mining man.
For example said he, you remem-
ber that story of Mark Twain's, how the
boys up In Utah got hold OF chunk of
Mormon's grindstone and worried it off on
the camp asSa yer? He got an assay OF
$500 to the ton in silver out Of that grind
stone and the boys ran him out of camp
That was true story, and yet, after
these many years, let me tell you that
-assa yer was all right. You see in the
early days the Mormons used to cut their
grindstones out Of what afterward was
known tue world over as Silver Cliff
T hat cliff was a sand ca rbonate and
eventually it was discovered to be one
of the most wonderful deposits OF silver
ore the world has ever known. But that
was too late to help the poor devil OF an
assayer who sampled the grlndstone. ~
