ing without pay or emoluments OF any

holders to represent their interests on the
board He was for four years elected as
director of the B. & o. R. r. Co. by the

While mayor of Laurel Mr. Stanley in
duced private capital to erect in Laurel an
electric light plant for the benefit of the
people, but for some cause the company
came to grief and he, in company with
other public spirited citizens, in order to
save the plant for Laurel, bought it at the

many of the residents use the power fur
nished by these gentlemen in lighting their
houses.
PRESIDENT OF THE Laurel. BANK.
Mr. Stanley is also president of the
Citizens National Bank of Laurel and
this fact has been pointed to by some as
an indication that he is a bond holder and
a breeder of trusts The National Bank
ing Laws of the United States makes it
necessary for person holding a place as
director in National Bank to be the
owner of at least ten shares of stock at
the par value of 800 per share. Mr.
Stanley is the owner of $500 worth more
stock than the minimum amount, and
this represents his holdings in corpora
lions and is the foundation of the above
charge.
This bank is the only National Bank in
Southern Maryland and has done more
for the farmers of this section than any
one thing ever placed among them, besides
being safe depository for county
and town funds and convenience to
| business men they never before enjoyed
Its success under the executive of Mr.
Stanley has been wonderful and it is said
the stock worth only $4,000 par cannot
be bought for $4,000. Mr.. l. S. Wilson
editor of the Marlboro Gazette, is among
the efficient borad.
INTERESTED IN AGRICULTURE.
Mr. Stanley has large property inter
ests in Prince Georges and surrounding
counties and by reasonthereofta takes great
interest in agriculture. He is member
of the Evansville Farmers Club and
frequently entertains the Club and
contributes valuable information to the

| by constant research into this subject
which he regards as all important.

| cepted Masons and is consistent mem
| Der thereof. He is a member of st. Philips
Protestant Episcopal Church and a mem

| CONSISTENT DEMOCRAT.
In politics Mr.. Stanley has always been
a consistent Observation-Disclosures giving
freely of his means and his personal ser
vices for the purpose of spreading demo
cratic doctrine in the county, state ant
nation, and he refers with pride to the
fact that he always voted the straight
| democratic ticket, and heartily supported
| it in every sense, AS HE DID AT THE
LAST ELECTION, WHEN HE NOT ONLY SUP
| PORTED But CONTRIBUTED TO THE CAM
PAIGN OF BRYAN AND sEwELL.
Mr. Stanley has, as will be seen, spent
| a useful and honorable life, and by his
energy and integrity accumulated, not s
| fortune; but when it is known that what
he has, was earned by himself alone
although but small competency, his
example is worthy of imitation by every
young man in this state. While engaged
in these many useful occupations, Mr.
Stanley has been encouraged and surround
ed by most interesting family, consist
ing of a most charming wife, three sons
and Il daughter.
