Commissioners in improving the pubic
highways in the Second election district
of this county and to do everything
which might be necessary to secure the
proper construction and repairing OF the
same which might be placed under their
supervision and control.
Mr.. Charles &. Calvert was elected
president, Director Harry j. Patterson,

Station, treasurer, and Mr.. Joseph A.
Blundon secretary. A constitution was
adopted and the president authorized to
appoint delegation to go before the
County Commissioners at the March meet

Loud complaints were made relative to
the present condition of the roads and the
form of the petition which will be circu-

was adopted.
The bills which have been introduced
into the Legislature was discussed and
the majority Of those present expressed

Tobacco Inspectors.

Among the appointments sent to the
Senate on Wednesday by Governor Smith
were the following tobacco inspectors:
]. Frank Smith, St. Mary'Sc VI tv. chief;
Nathaniel Broome, Calvert county, deputy;
Isaac Nutweli, Anne Arundel county,
deputy; VIM. d. Bowie, Phi ice Georges
county, deputy.
In selecting Mr. VIM. D. Bowie, as the
inspector from this county, Gov. Smith
has recognized the tobacco growing inter
ests. We believe that the inspector will
be literally patronized by tie planters,
and it will he to his credit and pleasure
to have such patronage. He was one OF
the first candidates in the field and be-
cause there were others who made vigor-
ous contests for the. appointment, the prize
came near being lost to the county. To
prevent this Mr. Robinson and Mr.. Sling
luff finally endorsed Mr.. Bowie and thus
he secured the appointment. The nomi-
nation was confirmed without reference
to the Committee on Executive Nomina-
tions because Mr. Bowie is an ex-senator

Illiterate Voters.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore SIN
from Annapolis on Sunday last says:
"Such interest is being shown in the
work of procuring exact data concerning
the illitcracy of the voting elements OF
MARYLAND that the Senators and others are
causing the statistics to be compiled from
the registration books of the counties.
Without such data it would be impossible
to formulate intelligent ballot legislation,
and the hearty co operation of county in
fiuences is invoked in order to establish
the proper basis. 1t is roughly estimated
that in the whole State there are at least
%, OOO-illiterate voters, who could not
stand an educational test in the form OF
the ballot, as has been proposed. But 1t
is highly important that the exact figures
shall be ascertained as quickly as possible,
so that Senators and Delegates may legis-
late undcrstandingly in Il matter involving
the exercise of the franchise by so many
electors

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets intiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
tiammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an intlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (causcd by catarrh)

Tic South African War.

1t was officially stated Saturday that
General Butler had started on another
movement fer the relief of Ladysmith,
hut what route he had taken was kept a
profound secret. 1t was further an
nounced that nothing of his operations
will be permitted to get out until Lady
smith is relieved. What is meant prob
ably is that no news of his movements
will be given out until he has succeeded
or failed.
One principle that competent military
observers deduce from our assaults on
the Boer position is that with modern
magazine rifles using smokeless powder
the defence is 10 to l as compared with
the attack, while formerly the rule was
three to one. The results at Mafeking
and Kimberley are evidence of this prin-
ciple, equally with the British expert.
ence at Magersfontein.
Siege rations of bread and meat have
now been enforced at Mafeking. Oats
intended for horses are now saved to
supply the troopers if needed. Timed
milk and matches are Communicated.
Liquor is scarce. Lady Sarah Wilson is
pluckily attending to hospitabe work
and constantly passing to and fro under
shell fire.
