AN ASSURED SUCCESS.

The committee having in hand the
matter of organizing an agricultural
society and procuring suitable grounds
feels greatly encouraged. There is a
strong, healthy sentiment in favor of
it. It's advantages are apparent. All
that is needed is the hearty co-opera-
ton of all of our business men and
citizens who will be incidentally benc :
fitted. No Immediate direct profit
will be realized by anyone-that is
not desired nor expected. An agri-
cultural society of the sort proposed
means monty fairs for the sale here
of whatever of farm produce, includ-
ing live stock, may be offered, and
the building up of a stable and profit
able market, bringing the producer
into direct contact with the purchaser,
in a competitive market.
The central feature will be an annu-
al fair, with exhibits of stock, grains,
poultry, vegetables, machinery, do
nestle and household wares, fancy
work-in fact everything OF interest to
all classes. The advantages to the
farmers are very evident. Stimula-
ton will result from omparison.
weak points in methods and results
will be strengthened. The social fea-
lures, too, are worth considering:
farmers will meet here for common
purpose, acquaintance will be extend
ed, better understanding reached,
and a vast amount of pleasure will re-
suit.
The city will get the benefits accru-
ing from large crowd for two days
every year, alta season when money
must be expended.
The city will come to be better
known, and more friendly relations
will result between the rural residents
and the business men of the town.
A good track will be feature OF ad-
vantage TO the farmer and horse
breeder, as we'll as affording alhuse-
ment to all. Attractive specialties,
not only at fair time, but whenever &C.
casion offers, will be invited here,
and Sank Centre will take her place |
among the well-known progressive
cities of the state.

THE SPANISH PRISONERS.

When Admiral Cervera and the
fifty-three officers of his unfortunate
squadron reach Annapolis they will find
quarters awaiting them at the naval
academy as comfortable and altogether
delightful as it can fall to the lot of
prisoners to occupy.
As soon as the Spaniards arrive each
one will be paroled and then given u
great measure of liberty. Not only will
they be free to walk about the grounds
of the academy, but they will be per-
mitted to go out into Annapolis with
perfect freedom during the day, being
required strictly to report at the yard

THE TAX IS ON THE CARRIERS

In answer to references from the COM
missioner OF internal revenue, all bear
ing upon the question as to whether
the shipper or carrier shall pay for and
aifix the required revenue stamps
to bills of lading, &C., Assistant Attor-
ney General Boyd has held as follows
THE law makes it the duty of every
railroad, steamboat company, express
company, or corporation or person
whose occupation it is to act as such, 10
issue to the shipper, consgner or his
agent, or person from whom any goods
are accepted for transportation, bill
of ladiug, manifest or some other evil
dence OF the receipt of goods, wares or
merchandise received for carriage and
ira lsporlation, and this bill of lading,
manifest or memorandum requires a
revenue stamp of the value OF one cent
affixed to it and Cancelled. In case
Of failure to issue such bill of ladiDg
the law imposes penalty of $50 upon
the carrier guilty of such failure.
"The penalty for failure to so affix
the stamp is not more than 500.
Ine purpose OF tne law Is clear. IL
was to tax The carrier and not the ship.
per, and these provisions undoubtedly
fix upon the express companies and
other carriers the duty of providing,
affixing and canceling the stamp, and
their failure to so provide, aflix and can
CT such stamp subject them to the
penalties provided by law. 1t is sug,
gested that some of these carriers are
refusing TO receive goods for shipment
until the shipper pays the tax. While it
is not my province to advise as to the
recourse which the shipper may have
in instances of this kind, yet am sure
that the laws are ample to require pub
lie carriers aDd express companies to
receive goods rendered for shipment or
suffer damages for such refusal"
