O'Clock yesterday morning binding
snowstorm was raging when the accident

20 the disabled craft. The Randall threw
out hawsers and did everything to float

THE NEGROES OF SANDY SPRING
Social study Sketch of Settlement
in Montgomery County

William Taylor Thorn in the January
Bulletin OF the Department of Justice,
gives a very interesting social study
sketch OF the negroes Of Sandy Spring,
Nd. Dr. Thorn says:
The Sandy Spring community lies in
Montgomery County, Nd. due north Of
Washington city. 1t extends back for sew
eral miles from the Patuxent River on the
east, and lies chiefly along the somewhat
sandy ridge which constitutes the water
shed between the small affiuents CT the
Patuxent on the east and of Rock Creek
and the Eastern Branch Of the Potomac Cn
the west and south The nearness TO the
National Capital is of great economic i'm
portance TO the inhabitants OF the neigh
borhood, the southern corner of which is
about eight and one-half miles in an air
lire north Of the northern angie of the
District Of Columbia.
Here within a stones throw, as it
were. Of the seat Of government, is
thriving agricultural community. among
whom live still the descendants of negro
families which have been free for a cen
tury and q quarter It IS this eXcep-
,ionaI fact OF q lcng-contiuued free ex-
is;ence in the midst Of surrounding slav-
cry which seems to warrant tne special
lnFe6tl saLlOn OF the negroes OF SANDY
Spring in order 10 see what are the social
and economic results to them of their op-
portunities during several generations as
freemen
For more than half century Sandy
Spring was an object lesson, in the midst
Of a larger slave community. of the supe-
riority both n It's tendencies and in its
results. Of free labor owning the soil and
was enabled &c realize what Washington
and Jefferson. Madison and Franklin. and
James Wilson hoped 10 attain for the
