said Wadley not answerIns the case was
postponed.
The decision of the United States Su-

States Marshal could not return him to
the Sheriff OF this county. but l learn
that the accused will answer at the next

There was another postponement in the
Charlie Wells case. Wells Is young

North Carolina sweet-potato pedlers near
Wythevlle several months ago. Jenkins
was tried and was given eighteen years

The Committee on Parks of the Balt-
more CITY Council has reported unfavor-
ably an ordinance referred to it, granting
permission to the Daughters Of the Con
federacy to erect in Druid Hill Park
monument to Maryland soldiers and sail
ors Of the Confederate army and navy.
The Baltimore Sun says that the COM
mittee assigned no reason for its action.
But. continues the Sun, If opposition 10
the ordinance is due to sectional feeling
the fact should be brought out when tho
measure comes before the Council, I'm or
der that the community may have an OPP
portunity to express its admiration for
the broad and progressive statesman
ship" Of tho craftsmanship
which the Sun animadverts upon very
sherply.
So say we all down this way. Baltimore
IS accounted a southern city. She fur
nished many a gallant soldier to the Con-
federate cause. and for that reason she
has occupied since the war an especially
warm place I'm the hearts of the southern
people. And the existence of this feeling
has proved TO Baltimoro's commercial adj
vantage 1t has been most potential
consideration in building up a southern
trade for Baltimore. Therefore. if the
cause the South fought for and which has
been I'm such large measure the bond Of
union between Baltimore and the South,
is to be discredited by denying the de-
voted Confederate women of Maryland
the privilege of IGNORING Maryland's Con-
federate dead in the manner proposed, 1t
were well that there We're no misunder-
standing about the motives and influences
leading 10 such q course.

GRAND COUNTY ENTERPRISES.
A FIGURING Mill and Fruit Csunery Proposed
for that Section.

Grand County Times: The committee
appointed two weeks ago to obtain in
formation as to the cost of Touring
mill for the valley and the probable
amount that can be raised, are in re-
ceipt of many letters and estimates of
cost from various parts of the country,
and from this we draw the conclusion
that $1,000 will put in operation n mill
in the valley that will completely fill
the want, that to include the erection
of buildings, etc, that enters largely
into the cost and can be put up with
material and labor furnished in the
valley. 1t seems as If there would be
no trouble in carrying through this en-
terprise.
nesday evening did not indicate that
the interest that would naturally he
expected from those in the business
was being taken The report of the
committee shows n little less than
$1,000 of the capital stock had been as
yet subscribed for. The committee was
instructed to make further efforts and
to ask for subscriptions conditioned
that at least 200 shares be subscribed
for, as that would assure the erection
of cannery, and 1t seems some have
held back on the grounds that they did
not Know whether sufficient could be
raised to carry out the objects of the
association. 1t appears to the majority
that the erection of cannery here Is
an absolute necessity to the success OF
the fruit business In this valley.
From $1,000 to $1,000 will put a can
merry in operation here of sufficient
capacity to handle present business
and seems as II there should be no
trouble to furnish that. II is certainly
an important question for the future
of this valley and should obtain the
support OF every person here interested
