pelke Beach railway is progressing rapid
ly. Five hundred men ard one hundred
horses and mules are now employed. The
grading is about completed to point
within three or four miles of this town,

been completed to Marlboro by this time,
had not heavy vein of she'll mari, which
had to be blasted, been encountered near
Seat Pleasant. The rainy weather delayed
this work. The construction of the tres
ties has been pushed, and large quantities
of ties have been delivered along the line.
The station here will be on the west

from Mr. Frederick Sasscer.
1t is confidently expected now that trains
will be running to this town by July LIST
and to the Beach by September LIST.

INCE GEORGES ENQUhEz-UPPER
The War Tax on Tobacco.

The Senate Finance Committee has de-
termined to increase the tax on tobacco
| in the House war revenue bill from twelve
to sixteen cents, and exempt the stock on
h4al from the operation of the tax. If it
is necessary to make this increase in order
TO raise sufficient revenue there Will be
little complaint; but the House probably
considered this matter fully before pass
ing the bill, and reached the conclusion
| that twelve cents 4 pound was enough tax
| upon one commodity. Sixteen cents will
| be almost Il deathblow to Maryland to-
bacco, which of late has been raising Its
head and bringing fair prices, says the
Baltimore .imerican. The tax, or as much
of it as possible, is taken out of the pro-
ducer by compelling him to underscll his
stock, and is at the same time charged to
the account of the consumer.
AS there are very few men who do not
use tobacco il some form or other it is a
far-reaching tax, and probably rs equal
as any war tax can be Those who stay
at home and use tobacco can thus feel that
they are helping to pay the expenses of
those who are in the field. But there is
limit to all things. Twelve cents Il
pound is a heavy enough tax on tobacco.
If more money must be raised, tax some
thing else that is not taxed, and let the
House rate remain. The planters who
raise tobacco are entitled to some consid-
Grafton. The twelve cent tax will press
heavily upon them, but to put four cents
more upon every pound grown will go
perilously near to break up the business
in Maryland 1t will be said, of course,
that the tax is on manufactured tobacco;
but it falls heaviest upon the producers
as was abundantly shown by the expert
ences of the last war and for years after
wards.
But there is another very Objectionable
feature OF the Senate amendment. All
stocks on hand are exempt from the tax.
Why this favoritism and this direct inyi-
tation to fraud? The government needs
the money now, but by skilful maninpula-
ton under this amendment payment of
any tax may be easily evaded until after
the war is over, should it last no longer
than it is commonly supposed 1t will.
There is no reason why this one should be
relieved of the tax and enabled to make
money, when another one is compelled to
pay it. The moment the bill passes to-
bacco will advance in price to consumers
in accordance with the tax, and all who
hold it will get the advance. The Senate
Finance Committee had better reconsider
its amendment, and cling to the House

Obituary..

At the family homestead, Warnings
Grove" on Thursday the 2Sth of April
last Zachariah Berry aged a years.
MR.. EDIToR:-The subject of the fore
going simple announcement needs no
feelsome eulogy to those by whom he was
best known, and among whom he spent a
life of three score years. The writer has
never been in uncon iitional accord with
proverb-''Say nothing of the dead unless
it is good;" and it is not in obedience to
that mandate that this inefficient tribute is
offered, but suggested by feelings of graft
tude, and the conviction, founded on ex-
perience of the author, that there is little
else to be said.
The people of this community and else
where are called upon to mourn the sunder-
ing of another of the last cherished links
that bound the too f1eeting present to the
hallowed past, in the departure of the
last male member of his generation, in a
family whose life history is SO thorough
interviewer with that of this section of
our country, and whose name is synony-
nous, so to speak, with the agricultural
and social interests of our people.
The most thrilling panegyric ever
delivered by eloquent eulogist, doth
naught avail when we feel "a grief too
deep for tears, and when the stricken
heart our lips doth SEAL rather would 1,
at such time, be like him, the object of
that silent yet all-potent testimony of
those among whom he had lived and died
neighbors and acquaintance of every
condition, as they declared by their acts
and mien-'he was my friend"
Whilst assurances of sympathy, and
what we are pleased to call words of
coincidence" are ever commendable, alas,
how inadequate they are, when conveyed
by weak mortals here below, but the
bereaved of earth may find comfort in
~" fact that we are counselcd not to
.r.cy 4, those without hope assure
that If we be faithful unto the end" we
shall realize the fruition of the promise.
Il am the resurrection and the life, whose
ever believeth in Me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live" and the bonds,
h re severed, lie renewed where eartL's
sadest ills are forever healed.

New YORK, Oct. 20.-General H. w.
Lawton of the military department of
Eastern Cuba arrived in this city during
the day accompanied by his aides. The
general, who has been granted leave
of absence for 60 days, looked as if his
experience in Cuba had done him a
great deal of good. Speaking of condi-
lions in Eastern Cuba he said:
"The general condition is good and
General Wood, who is in charge, is
rushing the preliminary work to COM
pletion as fast as possible. The people
down there say that the city of Santiago
was never so clean as at present. Bust
ness is reviving also and confidence
among business men is almost wholly
restored. Capital is seeking investment.
The people look to the United States
government with the utmost conf
dence."

Russian Regiment In Possession Of An I'm
portant Chinese Town.
LONDON, Oct" 20.-A dispatch from
Shanghai to London news agency says
A Russian regiment occupied the towr
of New Chwang, province of Lilac
Tsing, and the forts at the mouth Of the
river Liau, on Oct. Is, thus severing
communication with New Chwang. The
native troops did not make any opposi
ton under orders from the empress
dowager and Ii Hung Chang.
A British gunboat was in the river al
the time. Its non.resistance Is regarded
as the virtual British abandonment Of
the whole Of Manchuria to the Russians
and gives away a valuable strategic
position. Great Britain Is certain tc
lose the New Chwang trade, Of which il
has had 80 per cent.
