BARRE, VT, MARCH %, 1901

The reason why the democratic
leaders were shut out from sharing in
the gl 'ry (?) of organic ng tie Yer
mont Local Option League is given
f:on their standpoint 10 many differ
emit ways, but the fact that Local
Option candidate for the governor
ship had something to do with the
usurpation on the part Of the republi-
cans Is probably the most prevalent.
The Brattleboro Reformer democrat
icy says: sit has been understood for
some time that Percy W. Clement of
Rutland will be out cunning for the
republican non ination for governor
next year. So it is figured, now that
he has become president of the Local
Option League, that he will make hi,
fight on that issue, and if defeated
In convention, will run as a hulting
candidate, depending on union with
democrats for sucte ss. Percy is
very shrewd man and it is safe
to venture the statement that the
boiling proposition is not part Of his
program, for it's adoption would at
once be fatal to his ambition, SO far as
his party is concerned, and the bare
suspicion Of it i, likely to be. Still, it
is to his credit as man Of pluck that
he is willing to lead the local option
agitation, even inside party lin' S; for
he cannot fail to know that it will
weigh him heavily among the Repub-
lican politicians and that the Safe way
for any man who wants to run for
party nomination. is either to keep
mum on the subject or 60 with the
politician crowd. 1t would be a
healthy thing to have gubernatorial
fight made on this issue, though a
Governor counts but little in the law
making power.

Meeting ofthc PatuNcnt Planters
Club.

tary: F. s. Hill, F. W. Hill, William q.

terprising and enthusiastic host took his
guests on Il tour Of inspection and criti-
csm through his well-tilled fields and into
his barns filled with fragrant tobacco ready
for market To this last named product
Mr.. Hill has been devoting much attention
in recent years, and his addresses at the
Farmers Institutes last season showed
that lie had gathered 4 fund Of valuable
information and much practical skill in
the culture of this great staple. The
clubs critic, Mr. Eugene Roberts, and the
inspector, Mr. George W. Brooke, both
spoke in tlattcring terms of what was seen
on the hosts premises. In fact, the farm
in all its appointments proves that good
LAWYER need not necessarily be bad
farmer, but that industry and intelligence
wi, tell in all things. Mr.. Hill has fine
horses, some excellent Jersey cattle and a
choice flock of sheer, and believes in
diversity of products to make farming pay.
In his address to the club he gave some
figures and facts showing that his farming
does pay, apart from the consideration
that he has on his estate au ideal country
home. The line of discussion took rather
a practical turn and was participated in
by nearly everyone present. Quite Il
number of interesting facts with regard
to the culture of tobacco were elected
during the talk-with more especial refer
ence to the matter of profit and loss in its
production.
The June meeting of the club will be at
the home of Mr.. F. w. Hill

Crop Outlook is Good.

The weekly climate and crop bulletin
of the Weather Bureau, Maryland and
Delaware section, published by the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture, was
issued Tuesday afternoon. The general
summary shows that dry weather, plenty
of sunshine and increased warmth during
the past 10 days have given the farmer a
much needed opportunity for resuming
the work so long interrupted by contlnu-
Gus rains.
The advance that has followed in farm
ing operations has been fully matched 10y
the stimulus afforded to all crop growth
by the suitable weather. and the season is
very nearly up to the normal stage,
although minor crops in the northern
counties continue backward.
AS the period during which late damag-
ing frosts are possibility is now nearly
closed all crops are approaching the sum
mer season healthy and vigorous and the
general outlook is encouraging i'll every
respect.

Decision in The Road Case.

The Court of Appeals, Judge Pearce
delivering the opinion, reversed the lower
court, of this county, which granted a
permanent Injunction against the Road
Commissioners of this county requiring
them to spend the money obtained from
liquor licenses equally upon all the roads
of the county connecting with the roads in
the District of Columbia at the District
line The money thus obtained, amount
ing to about $4,000 annually, was by an
act of Assembly of 1900 set aside to be
used on said roads. The Commissioners
selected two roads which they thought
required permanent improvement and ex-
pended most of the sum upon them. The
taxpayers of certain sections sought and
obtained an injunction to restrain them
from expanding any more money on
these two highways until all the others
connecting with the District of Columbia
roads received their proportional share.
Judge Pearce says: by the Act of
Assembly of 1900 the powers formerly
vested in the County Commissioners were
transferred to the Road Commissioners
and we think that discretion to improve
VIII rJ,lIs in their judgment most
needed it was most certainly given them,
aud we can perceive no reason why they
should not be held to have the same dis
erection in the application and apportion-
ment of this fund to the construction of
permanent highways as of any other funds
at their disposal for the construction or
Improvement of highways generally"
Messrs Earl and F. Snowdcn Hill repre-
scented the appellants and Mr.. William A.
Meloy the appellees.
