CLERKS OF THE COURT.
An Interesting Record by Mr.. Jacob
Brown. of Cumberland.

An Interesting Record by Mr., Jacob
Brown. of Cumberland.
la a recent issue of the Cumber-
land Times, Mr.. Jacob Brown, the
historian of Garrett and Allegany
counties, reviews the lives of the sew
eral clerks of the Circuit Court and
the sheriffs of Allegany and Garrett
counties before the separation took
place. OF the number who served
when the two counties composed the
one what is now Garrett county con-
tributed but one or two. To quote
Mr.. Brown:
The first clerk of the old county
court was Capt. John Lynn, who serv-
ed in that capacity during the revo-
lutionary war. He was clerk until
his death, about the year 1872.
His successor was Hanson Briscoe,
who served to his death in 1917.
Aza Bean, of Selbysport, now in
Garrett county, was appointed in
1917 and served till 1915. However,
on account of infirmaties, for a num-
Der of years the duties of his office
were efficiently discharged by his son.
John. The act of the legislature of
1886, CHI. 224, abolished the life tenure
feature and made the term seven
years.
Henry Bruce, of what is now Gar
rett county, was appointed by Gov
ernor Pratt in 1915. He served until
the last of the year 1851 and lost one
year of his time by the new constitu-
ton of 1850.
In Maryland, there has always been
practice to retain clerks in their
places for long periods, especially in
the western counties. Washington
county in the long run of 125 years
has not had over eight clerks. The
present incumbent, Mr.. George Os-
valid, was first elected in November,
1878, and is now half way through his
fifth consecutive term. But one of
his ancient predecessors, Gen. Ohio
Holland Williams, exceeded this by
some years. Our youthful neighbor,
Garrett county, has had but two
clerks during her existence. WIN. H.
Tower was elected in 1878, elected
in 1879, and again in 1885, dying in
1887, when his son, f. u. Tower, was
elected. He has been regularly re-
elected ever since, and is still most
efficient, competent and obliging
clerk. No knowing how long his val
liable services may continue, as he is
yet young man and very popular.
But how very different as to the
sheritfs of Allegany county. From
the beginning they were elected by
the people for term of three years.
They and the house of delegates and
the general assembly, were the only
officers elected by the people directly.
By the constitution OF 1850, the term
of sheriff was reduced to two years.
and only eligible for reelection after
an interval of two years. During the
existence of our county, it has had
about 45 sheriffs, and strange to say,
only three of them was elected the
second time. John G. Beatty, the
first sheriff was reelected. The sec
ond to serve two terms was Moses
Rawlins, who was elected the second
time in 1915.
Garrett county, though young,
breaks the sheriff record of both the
counties. Edmund Jamison was it's
first sheriff, 1878. He was elected
twice thereafter, three terms in all
and is fit, and no doubt willing and
ready, for the fourth term.

Of entering the United States afterward,

For all that any one can tell, it may

On the other hand, nothing is to be
accomplished by quarreling with the
Canadian steamship companies. Even if

to you for this man. We did not land
him in the United States. He was ticket
ed to Canada, and in Canada we duly
delivered him. We do not see what share
the United States has in the business
anyway. If you have complaints to make
go make them to the carriers who
smuggled the man into your country

a notion is rapidly forcing itself upon
the minds OF the immigration authorities
here that our government may be driven
to deporting prescribed immigrants at its
own expense. If we cannot keep these
persons out OF the country, they argue,
we can at least send them home when
we catch them It may cost $50 or so
apiece, but the moral effect would make
up for the expense, by showing the
world that when we have declared that
we do not wish such-and-such classes,
we will not have them under any con-
ditions whatever.
1t is possible that recommendation
may be sent to Congress next winter
for an appropriation for this purpose,
accompanied by a draft of legislation
modelled after the latest addition to the
Chinese exclusion laws, so that any i'm
migrant who resorts to misleading rep
reservations, or other Illicit devices, in
obtaining entrance into the United States
shall be deported as soon as this offence
is discovered, regardless of whether he
actually belongs to one of the prescribed
classes or not.
