Two years ago Brodie refused the nomination for d county Gffice because anti-freO silver credentials were an- neXed. Perhans he has changed his mind regarding this vital issue now con fronting the people. If not, how can he ex! lain his acceptance of the nomi- nation for delegate, with identical con ditions? We are told that the money question has no significance in this case. If 1t matters not in national office, how could 1t effect county office? It Is plainly seen that it all depends. ''- Yuma Sun.

in bringing up the subject, said:
Education is the most potent force
IN the land to-day for making good

CriIhinality can only be minimized by
a compulsory educational law. There
are 20 school districts in the State in
which, OF my own personal knowledge
there are children almost in the shad-
ow Of the schools maintained for them
who meyer enter them. They grow to
manhood. and womanhood unable to
read or write. Maryland should not
be backward in overcoming this great
evil Tw0-thirds of the States of the
country have the law in some form
Twelve States have had it for 25 years.
We should have it,"
Prof. G. c. Pearson, of Hagerstown,
said he thought there should be such
a law, but not until the State had
enough schools to put the pupils in.
He said this fall Hagerstown had to
hire buildings to accommodate the
large number who came Of their own
will, and for whom the regular build
Ings had not enough room. Others
took the same view, and, although
the discussion was widespread, no ac-
tion was taken in the matter.
Another important discussion was
over the methods for conducting
teachers institutes. The Institutes
are general meetings Of the teachers
of State schools for discussing topics
of interest to their profession. DR..
Forman said he intended to make
them interesting. He said the Johns
Hopkins University should contribute
lecturers from its large faculty and
that other colleges in the State should
aid the Institutes.

TO the Editor of The Republican.
Considerable has been said by way
of criticism on the condition of roads.
| presume in some instances there has
been q Just cause for complaint, yet
there has been Il great deal said that
was uncalled for. One smart Aleck''
had the audacity to assert that some
horses are lopsided on account of
having to travel in wagon ruts, and
that some roads are prolific in pro
ducing lakes. | presume the truth
of the matter with him is he occa-
sionaliy takes a spin on a bicycle and
spins into a wagon rut and his head
becomes lopsided and horse tracks
filled with water appear to him as
great lakes
Should he be so fortunate aS to fall
in some of those great lakes it will
not be necessary for him to use Hob
sons wind bags, as he is pOsssessor of
enough gas to initiate himself into q
temporary balloon and eXtricate
himself out of any of those great
lakes.
No doubt some supervisors don't
exercise the Judgment they should in
repairing roads. but so long as heavy
rains and frosts are beyond the con
troll of man, and our roads not ma
cadamized, that long will we have
mud to contend with. Very few, if
any, Of our citizens have made road
building study, and the best results
cannot be expected from employing
inexperienced men in repairing them.
1t is greatly to be regretted that We
have not enough skilled men to take
charge of all the roads and employ
the most scientific methods on them.
The truth remains, however, that no
matter how great the skill, mud roads
cannot be made to stand ali kinds of
usages, and at certain seasons Of the
year, especially in winter and spring,
they are at the best very unsatisfac-
tory. If some of those parties, in
stead of devoting their time in fault
finding would use some in teaching
the people how to build mud roads
that will stand the test under all cir
cumstances, they will have found a
more useful field in which to display
their talents and at the same time
win for themselves enduring fame as
benefactors of mankind. They may
then see the day when some great
philanthropist will see fit to build one
covered with clean white sand for
the benefit of the fastidious who win
be invited some bright sunny day to
view its dazzling splendor.

great and remunerative industry.
Large fortunes were realized, but the
larger portion of the valuable timber
has been felled, converted into lum-
Der, slaves, spokes, etc. and carried
! on tram-rOads to the nearest accessi-
bic stations along the E. g. O. The
heavy cost attending the reach of the
remaining timber lands, together with
the low price of lumber has curtailed
this occupation to q very great ex-
tent. Still there are large operations
in this line going on which afford
employment to a large number of
people.
with the tide of progress pouring
in from every direction from its form
alton as new and separate county,
almost every enterprise has made its
appearance, agriculture, however,
with its divisions and subdivisions,
has grown to be the chief and leadipg
pursdlc. corn Is not gown 30 any
extent, because of the shortness of
the summer season. Eighteen acres
is considered II large crop. Yellow
corn is the only kind planted. We
have never seen an ear of corn in
Garrett that was half as large as our
largest ears. The soil and climate is
well adapted to the growing of wheat.
The yield per acre is from eighteen
to thirty bushels, but from some
cause the acreage of wheat is small.
Many OF the farmers SOW only enough
for home consumption. Oats, buck
wheat, potatoes, hay and grazing are
the leading features. The buck
wheat is considered the best grown
on the continent. 1t is usually
ground into -four at home mills and
meets with a ready demand. Bee
| culture is one of the silent industries
| and pays well. We passed in one of
our rides a small apiary, the owner
said his crop of honey would be be-
tween a thousand and fifteen hundred
pounds, which would bring 12! cents
a pound at the door, and that it was
attended with little or no expense.
The Italian and Canolian are the
names of the bees kept.
The manufacture Of maple sugar
and maple sugar honey plays a con
! spicuous part. The "Beeghley"
maple sugar orchard has five thous-
and trees, and this is but one of
many. The sugar when ground
brings 10 cents a pound, in the cake
8 cents. Nearly all of the crop is sold
/ to purchasers outside of the county.
In favorable seasons the chestnut
crop produces a large revenue. This
season thousands of bushels were

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of makinga a better
article than your competitor if you
cannotget a better price for it?
b Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public viii buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale onCham-
berlain's Cough Remedy. The peo-
pie have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally

OTHER MATTER.
Other interesting extraets follo


The experiences of the last year
bring forcibly home TO US u sense of
the burdens and the waste of war.
We desire, in common with most civ
ilized nations, to reduce to the lowest
possible point the damage sustained
in time of war by peaceable trade and
commerce. 1t is true we may suffer
in such cases less than other commu-
mites, but all nations are damaged
more or less by the state of uneasi-
ness and apprehension into which an
outbreak Of hOstilities throws the en-
tire commercial world. 1t would be
our object therefore, to minimize, so
far as practicable, this inevitable loss
and disturbance. This purpose can
probably best be accomplished by an
international agreement to regard all
private property at sea as exempt
from capture or destruction by the
forces of beligerent powers. The
United States government has for
many years advocated this humane
and beneficent principle, and is now
in position to recommend it to other
powers without the imputation of
selfish motives. | therefore suggest
for your consideration that the Exec
utive be authorized to correspond
with the governments of the princi-
pie maritime powers with a view of
Incorporating into the permanent
law of civilized nations the principle
of the exemption of all private prop
erty at sea, not cOntraband of war,
from capture or destruction by belig-
erent powers.
