We learn that the peop'e of Annapo-
lis have begun to discuss with great inter-
est the question of "a 5000, 900 subscription

pany. 1t is looked upon in some quarters
as revival of the old Drum Point sub
scrption of 100000, that caused so much
controversy in the county some twenty
years ago, and which was finally defeated
the people and the County Commissioners.
We understand that Mr.. J. Selwyn
Sasscer, of Upper Marlboro, is Il candi-
date for the minority representative on
the county School Board, and, if such be
the fact, we hope he may get the appoint
ment. Mr.. Sasscer has been a member of
the School Board for four years AMI has
performed the duties devolving upon him
well and faithfully. The interest of the
public schools have had in him Il man who
at all times did what he believed to be
right and for the best interest of the pub
lie school system. This is the kind of a
man we want, and we trust Governor
Smith will appoint Mr.. Sasscer, not that
there are not plenty good men to repre-
sent US, but his experience and past CON
duct point to him as the man for the place.
