Insurance Company Meeting.

The twenty fifth annual meeting
of the members of the Farmers
and Mechanics Mutual Insurance
Association of Cecil county was
held in Rosebank Hall, Calvert, on
Saturday last. 3. d. Carhart, OF
Zion, was reelected secretary and
treasurer. The old board of direc-
tors was reelected as follows: AL
fred Kirk, Pennington; Henry
Hess, Fair Hill; Aaron j. Kitchener,
Colora, John p. Wilson, Calvert;
VIM. 7. Patten, Liberty Grove;
John T. Dewitt, Fair Hill, and
Charles w. Shippers, North East.
An animated discussion was held
on the merits of lightning con-
ductors on buildings. The sum
and substance of the discussion was
that the rods were of no protection
because they were allowed to get
out of order and generally there
were not enough points to catch the
electricity. The discussion was
founded on personal opinion, with
out any statistics to shed light on
the subject. The conclusion was
that no abatement of insurance
should be made on account of rods
on a building. Statistics prove
that a building properly rodded
has never been injured while many
have been struck.

Wood Supply for Paper.

Two more boat loads of poplar
wood were unloaded at the Elkton
wharf last week for the Southern
Pulp Co., and there are now sew
eral thousand cords of wood stored
on the property.
The white wood of the United
States is disappearing rapidly, by
its use for the manufacture of paper.
In Canada from the lakes to the
frozen regions the best wood for
paper pulp abounds in countless
millions of cords, which ought to
be open to the manufacturers of
paper for this country but is shut
out by a high tariff to allow the
paper trust to skin the American
people. Every newspaper is pay
ing tribute to this Republican party
trust, which will contribute lib
orally to the Hanna campaign
corruption fund.

citation will hold their fall exhibit
ton at Easton the last week in
August. This will be the only fair
on the Eastern Shore this year, and
it and the Dover fair the only ones
on the peninsula.
The prospect for the agricultural
fair of the future doesn't look very
fair. Very little but the "hoss"
trot is left of it. In fact the agri-
cultural fair belonged to the now
ing scythe and grain cradle period,
and not to the self binder and steam

Visitors Column would be an
appropriate heading for a large
part of many local papers. Whole
letters of correspondents contain
only the interchange of visits of
friends. Formerly this interior
ence in private matters of social
nature was considered an imper-
tinent meddling on the part of a
newspaper and taken as an insult.
Times change and social customs
reverse themselves. 1t is not up to
date in a newspaper nowadays if
the visits and visitors of neigh
borhood are not duly recorded in
the local paper.
A movement is on foot to organ
ize a board of development for the
Eastern Shore, with the object of
attracting settlers, improving mar
kets and facilities of the attractive
features of the Eastern Shore to the
country at large.
If the Eastern Shore possesses so
many attractions it is reasonable to
think the prominent men who are
classed as "promoters" would be
selfish enough to want to preserve
them for the descendants Of their
own people. White people b gan
to settle the Eastern Shore more
than 200 years ago, and that
'sgArden spot" is but thinly popu
lated yet. There must be some
thing besides attractions in that
region.

Base BaII.

The second game of the series
between Pennington and Rising
lSun was played on the home clubs
grounds, onSaturday afternoon last.
The game was decidedly "scrappy, "
and although married by continual
wrangling was an exciting contest.
Pennington was anxious to place
a victory to its credit and had
greatly strengthened its team with
players from Newark, Aberdeen
and North East, and put up good
game in the field but could not do
much with the stick.
Riale, for the home team, pitch
ed remarkable game in.the face of
rather discouraging support by the
field back of him, keeping the hits
scattered.
The visitors took the lead in the
second inning scoring four runs OF
a safe hit and errors by the oppos-
ing fielders. The home team over
came the lead in the fifth inning by
good uphill work, Pennington
being unable to get a run across
the plate after the second inning.
The score:
