At Amity there were Z democrats,

At the Coates school house the en-

the audience consisted Of 6 demo-
Gratis, republicans, 3 candidates, 2
reporters, and the Judge, E. 9. and
Ezra. The office holder imported

officers got disgusted with the size of
audience and left. He was not will
ing to count in the voters which are
supposed to be concealed in the
pockets of the Judge, E. @. and Ezra.
He wanted his auditors right out in
front OF him, where he could better
tell of the honor done them in piling
up more taxes on them for the bene-
fit Of the state gang at Denver, of
which he is one of the shining lights.
Several candidates made speeches
explaining that they had never
sought office and never cared much
for it but of course could not resist
the appeals Of the public which need
ed their services. This got to be
very tedious for the audience until
Captain Heaton relieved the monot-
ony by telling how he had started
out in life with the intention of be-
coming lawyer, but sickness had
driven him in the more healthy oc-
cupation of painting. The candidate
for commissioner also introduced
some slight variety into the proceed
ings by fixing new location for u
bridge at each of the meetings.
Some of the taxpaye ers are beginning
to view the long list of democratic
meetings as published with great
deal of alarm. If each one means n
new bridge there is likely to be II
sudden rise in market price of iron
and steel.

Those MeetIn9e.

The democrats opened their cam

meetings in the eastern part of the
county. The enthusiasm of the party
in the various precincts is shown
we'll by the attendance at these meet
ings. In Holly, the thriving little
city of the extreme east end OF the
county, the attendance by actual
count consisted of 20 voters, IL east

tales about the wild aud wooly free

Tho Great Crop.

Now that the returns are beginn.
ing to come IN the farmers are real
izing more than ever that the sugar
beet crop is to be greatest of all
boons to this section. The terrible
hail storm which literally wiped out
all other crops that had not been
harvested did comparatively small
damage to the sugar beets, and this
alone is a great recommendation.
The farmers whose beets were in the
track of the storm are getting reports
which show that their per cent Of
sugar is about the same as last year,
and also about the same as those who
were fortunate enough to miss the
hail. In tonnage, however, there is
a noticeable shortage in the storm
district, but even in this respect the
loss is estimated to be only about 10
to Is per cent, which is practically
nothing when compared to the big
losses on other crops. A sugar per-
centage of from 16 to 20 is about the
general rule and this will make the
average price about $3.50 to $500.
The improved methods Of handling
the crop which are being introduced
will materially reduce the labor and
expense Of marketing and add large
ly to the profits. It is safe to say
that this crop will take permanent
place in the front rank Of the farm
ing industry in this county and that
the acreage tributary to Lamar will
be more than doubled another year.

A FrOstburg Nominee.

George Stern was born in Frostburg
September ,, 1872, and passed here the
usual uneventful period of boyhood, at
tending the public schools and giving
his father, the late Bernard Stern, such
assistance in the mercantile business as
he was able.
After careful preparation he entered
Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa, and
graduated with the degree of y. b.
in 1893.
\ short time later he entered the Law
School of Harvard College AMI gradu-
ated in 1897 as an LII. b.
Subsequent reading and study have
made him lawyer of thorough train
ing and fitted him exceptionally well for
the arena of law-making.
He has, however, been unable to
abandon the business set up by his
father, and, with his mother and two
sisters as co-workcrs, large and still
growing business operates under his
management.
At the late democratic county conven-
ton, when it was seen that Frostburg,
as usual, was about to 90 practically I'M
represented on the ticket, he was be-
sought to redeem the situation far as
practicable at that moment by accepting
nomination for the House of Delegates.
