Doubtless many were wondering why
that one signature, Charles Carroll, Of
Carrollton," stands out different from
the rest. II Is for the reason that the
signer did not intend his identity as q
patriot TO be doubtful or misleading.
When he subscribed TO that record Of
glory, Charles Carroll, of Carrollton.
was in his 10th year, and owner Of the
largest fortune in America.
There go few millions" said the
wealthy Virgininn planter, Benjamin
Harrison Gather and great-grandfather
Of future presidents), as the rich planter
traced his name on the parchment.
Millions would indeed have gone--sor
his possessions were princely-had not
success crowned the American arms In
the long and bloody struggle.
He wus the grandson of IN Irish gen.
tlcmnn who cmigrated to Maryland In
1850, and took up a vast estate-one Of
the last Of the old manorial grants. The
manor house that he built still stands
near Annapolis-n huge, roomy old
structure, with Its wings and outhouses,
covering an acre ofground.
In this grand old mansion house Of
Carrollton the future signer wns born
on September 20. 1897. Graded In af-
fucncc, the oldest Of his fathers sons,
and heir to the immortal property,
young Carroll knew nothing Of the
hardships Of life. lie was brought up
like young prince, had his horses and
hounds, and all the spending money he
liked. Nobody could have seen In the
slim, delicate, carefully-nurturcd young
scion of the CAROLS, of Carrollton, one
of the stcrnest and truest OF patriots.
At the ngc Of eight years, Charles Car
roll was sent TO France for the purpose
Of obtaining an education. lie spent
six years at the College OF St. Omcrs,
and subsequently he was at Rheims and
Bourges.
In the year 1857 he went to England,
and commenced the study OF law In the
Temple in London. There he made the
acquaintance Of number of young
l;nglishmen, vino were afterward quite
rs famous rs he was.
He returned to America, In l704, an
accomplished scholar and nh accom-
plished man, just MS the first mutter-
ings Of the storm between the colonies
and Great Britain were heard In the
land. How would he, the young aris,o-
crat, the heir of countless acres, the man
of European education and training
how would he bear himself in this
struggle between the tyrant and the
oppressed?
The archives OF his country and the
rolls of his native state all show that
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, did his
duty nobly. Temptations there must
have been for him to take sides with the
loyal faction, but he chose the side of
the oppressed, and freedom never had
bolder or more eloquent champion
than II Ind in the rich and patrician
young Marylander.
Always at the front, he was one OF a
committee Of three, with Samuel Chase
and benjamin Franklin, TO visit Canada
to invite the people Of that province to
unite with the Americans in their strug-
gle for independence; he was member
OF four congresses, signer Of the dec
lnration, United States senator, and for
many years state senator. During all
this time, voice, hand and pen were en-

When Capt Fred Boulder went to
live In Salem we swallowed the emo
ti,ns which surged within us and said:
g 1t CAN'T be helped" We reasoned
that the ferocious captain would be-
come as a lamb-that he would breath
the virtuouS air and Weadded, " Good
bye." Then we waited expecting to
hear that the rash youth had had his
face measured for a SanctimOniOus eX-
preston and that he took his daily
stroll arrayed in white cravat and a
slken tile with an aureole attachment.
All this worried us and we laid awake
nights and wondered why destiny had
not called Mr.. Scott or Mike Tyrrell or
Ellie Scherf or some other bullet proof
citizen not SO susceptible as the captain.
We even composed an ode of thirty
six 6tanzas bearing on the sad event.
The first stanza is as follows:
Gallant Captain Fred has left Us:
Cruel fate, its shadow huFls:
And his arts are nov expended
ON the dashing Salem girls.
No we will not thrill the reader with
the rest of it because we feel that it
would not be good for him. Besides
we have since learned that our fears
were groundless. 1t is the boys on
whom his arts are expended. We are
informed that one evening not long ago
the Captain arrayed himself as blush
ing girl of sixteen and got a friend to
introduce him to we'll known Salem
young man. The Salem young man in
vited Miss Fred to take ride. The
invitation was accepted. There
is a young citizen of Salem who knows
heap more than he used to and at
present he is fighting shy of practical
iokers and strange young ladies'
