Chapline, of Frederick.
For County Surveyor-Edward AL
baugh, of Liberty.
The above ticket was named by the
Republican County Nominating Con-
veutIon, which met in this city last
Saturday, after much wrangling and
contention. 1t was open war between
the followers of DIR. Haffner and John
G. Motter, and the latter held the major
ity of the districts and ruled the day.
The main fight centered in the clerk
ship nomination and four ballots were
taken to decide the matter.
The weakness of the Haffner people
was disclosed when the election of
Hon. Milton G.. Urner was accom-
plished over Mr.. Frank Butts, of Mid
dletown district, the former winning
by vote of IA to s.
After the committee on credentials
and resolutions had presented the re-
spective reports the ballotting for clerk
began. The aspirants were Douglas II.
Hargett, who carried the Frederick
primaries, on Saturday previous; DIR.
Haffner, who claims to have carried
the county primaries; j. U. Markell,
a well-known coal merchant, and Mel
win p. Wood, of New Market, who
was member of the House of Dele
gates two years ago. After four ballots
had been taken Mr. Hargett was de-
clared nominated by a vote of IA to s,
the same as was given for chairman.
Much disappointment was the result
of the decision of the convention
and the friends of DIR. Half
ner, especially, are open in their
threats of vengeance. On the first bal
lot Mr.. Markell received one district.
Mr.. Wood on the first two ballots
got two votes; on the next only one
stuck to him, and this finally went
over to Hargett.
Several fights occurred during the
day and several disorderly persons
were elected from the hall.
Messrs. Edward Gilbert, of Liberty,
and Simon Koogle were secretaries.
5. w. Robinson, Edward Brant and
Geo. A. Schroeder were named tellers.

Get Ready for the Great Fair.

Don't forget to make all arrange
ments for the Great Frederick Fair,
October 10 to 22nd. Owing to the ar
rangements with the Hagerstown peo-
pie the date is one week later than
usual. Get your household and
agricultural exhibits in readiness
and make the fair more than justify
the proud title as the greatest agri-

be no exception.

WAY BEHiSD THE PROCESSION
Spain Lives on Past GIories. and That,
Where She Falls Down.

Cleveland. Aug. 4-The Leader con-
tains the following:
Because Spain has not kept step
with the merch Of progress. her colo
n.sts are rebelling against her" said
Mr.. DeArango yesterday. explaining the
causes Of the Cuban and Philippine re
bellions.
A short time ago there was long ed
itoriai ii a New York newspaper to the
effect that the primary cause OF the Gu
ban rebellion and the muI;i:u3inous
troubles Of the Spanish royal family
was the fact that the Roman Catholic
church was the church Of state OF Spain
Mr. DeArango yesterday denied en-
phatcally thas religious sentiment had
anything whatever 70 do with the Gu

While the remainder OF the world

as the power Of the earth began with
the defeat Of the Amanda Spain vas

From that day TO this there has been

Because Spain refused 70 recognize that

the Bible and the inscriptions on vari-
Gus tablets that are being unearthed.
These tablets show that Babylon was in
a highly civilized state two thousand
years before the world was created ac-
cording 10 the chronological table OF
Archbishop Usher in the King James
version Of the Bible. Eminent scholars,
however, say that this Interpretation OF
the Bible is not correct. They claim that
Il does not state how long, as measured
by years, the world was in process Of
creation, and that the six days were"
periods of indefinite length, covering, it
may have been, millions of years. Nor
does the Bible say how long ago the ere
alton Of man took place. for the reason
that the tenth and eleventh chapters Of
Genesis do not claim TO give all the gen.
erations.
Therefore, il can be safely said that,
wonderful as these recent discoveries arc
they do not shake the historical founda-
ton of the book OF Genesis. In fact,
these discoveries would seem to confirm,
rather than contradict, the statements Of
the Bible. They, however, furnish addi-
tional Information that il does not give.
In this connection il is interesting TO
state that DR.. Hilprecht, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, stated recently
that no discovery had yet been made
that shook his faith in any historical
statement OF the Bible. DR.. Hilprecht is
recognized as the most eminent cunei-
form scholar in the world today, and is
now engaged in rranslating the wonder

the path Of rectitude. For thirty days

permitted TO remain on shore with their

through the cloud riffs and Wright was
sitting in the shade of the house, when

startled by the tone Of Wrignt's voice
and expecting 20 see, possibly, some
great craft off her course and bearing

he asked.
The sea serpent gasped Wright.
Sure enough, here came the great mon

came the commissions Of the giant rep

ton TO the public utterances Of Presi-

yer the recent resignation Of DR.. An

opinion there is no chance that Dr.. An

reconsider his resignation.
In answer to questions by an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent Mr.. Walker.
who is spending the summer at mis- stock
farm here, stated today that he person
ally started the trouble at Brown, as q
meeting of the corporation Of the uni
versity last June. This was done be-
cause the utteranceS OF Professor An
drews were at variance with the views OF
the corporation on the question Of finan-
cial policy. Mr.. Walker said:
Nothing was said or done at the
meeting OF the trustees that was not
clea..y within the line Of duty upon the
par. OF every member of the board, and
everything was said and done for DR..
Andrews. The corporation did not de-
mand NJ. Andrews resignation. Il
sought a friedly conference with its
chief executive"
Congressman Walker declared in clos
ing TIA. DR.. Andrews had taught other
things than silver which were thought
to BE- detrimental 10 the progress of the
university. His position on the wage
question, Mr.. Walker said, was bad.

Maud lashed out with the whip, catching
