st. Mary's Academy.

The closing Exercises Of st. Mary's
Academy, Leonardtown, will take place
on Wednesday evening, the Goth Of June.
During the past fifteen years of the
Institutions existence, the Commence
ments were held in the morning and
people from our own and surrounding
counties, casting aside all care and la
Dor, locked to the scene of sunshine and
happiness thus, encouraging the Sisters
and pupils in their work, by the deep
interest manifested for their welfare and
progress. The moments glided rapidly,
the time of departure arrived too soon,
and with it sorrow came, casting her
shadows and causing repinings that life
was not one such continuous gala day /;
yet, each one returned home, well pleas
ed with the dramatical, musical and elo-
cutionary efforts of the children, as well
as the cordially and hospitality extend
ed to the patrons and friends Of the
school.
AS usual, this year. on the closing
night, viii be seen the same display of
literary ability, musical talent, joyous
song and graceful movement, evincing
the excellence obtained in training the
moral, physical and mental powers Of
the young charges.
If, in the past, every one anxiously
anticipated the dawn of Exhibition
Day" and received a genuines Maryland
welcome, we trust and are convinced
that the patrons of old, win show, this
time, even greater interest, by attend
ing, If possible, in larger numbers, as 1t
is not only amusement that invites end
encourages them to while away pleasant
hours within Learning's precincts, but
the voices of duty and charity too, wills
per that now is the golden opportunity
afforded, to offer some little gift that
may tend to diminish the debt incurred
in repairing Gods hougc where He
deigns to wait, in order to alleviate the
trials and sufferings to which His people
are subject.
Let each one then, avail himself Of
this means Of assisting St. Aloysius
Church, at the same time enjoy the rare
privilege accorded, Of attending grand
entertainment, and there will be no re-
grets for the time and money spent in
| this manner

GOOD

The fact that Catawba College is
now under the management of our
popular and eficient-everybody
uses these adjectives in this connec-
tion-Superintendent of Public In
s%truction insures it's success. We
wish for it the abundant prosperity
which we are sure it merits and will
receive.
Josh Billings, we believe, said he
never argued agin' a success
Success speaks for itself. And
the remarkable success of Buie's
Greek Academy makes it unneces-
sary for us to say anything in de-
Tense of this excellent institution.
Wonderfully rapid has been it's
growth but in our opinion, and as the
testimony of those most competent
to judge goes to show, never more
rapid than it has deserved. We wish
it continued prosperity.

Note carefully, that the increase

1917 times the average of the two

The present General Assembly ex-
cuses itself, and is excused by it's
friends, for such an enormous in
crease, because" they say, "of the
condition in which we found things,
especially the mismanagement of the
States Prison" The people are
asked to accept this excuse. Before
accepting it, however, let them have
the truth. Aclose and conscientious
study of the reports and Treasury
Department books has revealed the
following facts, which cannot be dis
proved. Taking the periods under
each of the last three arrangements,
separately, we find each management
received extra resources, own earn
ings, total resources, and left to sue

months of the present Legislative
period than has ever before been ex.
pended in d corresponding period
since 1869. Bonds eliminated, OF
rather in comparison with the col
umns on either side, shows exactly
why it was not necessary. The only
possible excuse the preceding legis-
lature furnished was the debts of the
State Prison, which two experts
after a careful investigation put at
$50, 900. Starting with nothing,
Smith and MewbOorne had to make
debts, as ali their supplies had to be
purchased on time. But while prices
for all farm products we're lower
than ever before known, they pro
juced the heaviest crops in 1898 ever
made on the prison farms, and left
$40. 900 to their SUCCESSORS. The
necessity for the bond issue being
the only excuse, let Us see If it was
really valid.

DR.. KILMER & CO., BURNT OUT.
But They Are Now at Work Again, Making
60, 900 Bottles Per Day.

N~9SSS DS51&~ 10Y
The fire which destroyed the i'm
mense Swamp Root medicine plant
of DIR. Kilmer & Co., July 1, was the
most disastrous which has ever oc-
Cured in BinghamtOn. However,
the Kilmers resumed business next
morning, though not at the old
stand, which is a heap of smOuldered
ashes. While the firemen were yet
pouring water on the burning Chen
ango street establishment, the Xii
mers were arranging to do business
somewhere else.
That this great industry might not
be crippled for a moment, through
the courtesy of other prominent
firms and citizens, the large factory
and adjoining buildings on South
street were vacated for the benefit
of the Swamp Root people, and pos
session was taken Immediately, and
here, by Monday, July s, this new,
temporary factory will be turning
out Swamp Root, the great Kidney
Remedy, in quantities of about 60, 900
bottles per day, and in two or three
weeks timegthe full capacity of more
than four times that amount will be
produced. The immense demand for
Swamp Root will thus in no way be
interfered with.
On the old site, with adjoining
property which has just been pur-
chased, will be erected Immediately

structure, plans for which have been
nearly completed -Binghamton N.
