the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad says
that preliminary plans for the adoption of the
trolly system from York to Delta have been
under consideration by the company since the
establishing of the York County Traction
Companys line, which is proving hurtful

o'clock on Sunday evening last an old stone
barn on the farm of Mr.. John R. Parks, on
the east side of the York turnpike a short dis
lance north of Tim onium fair grounds, took
fire from some unknown cause and was entire
" destroyed, together with large quantity of
hay, wagons, &c. The estimated loss is nearly
$1,000, upon which there was $500 insurance
on the building and 1925 on contents. Mr..
Parks and his son were at the barn as late as
was known to be about the building. Mr..

Safe Deposit and Trust Company of Baltimore

since taken to her daughters home, where she
is having the attendance of two trained nurses
and is subjected to other expenses which will
increase the amount necessary for her mainte-
nance to $500 year, which is in excess of her
income. An order of court was passed allow
ing the increase Mrs. Mordecai is the wife of
the late j. Randolph Mordecai.

Nearly 1000 pounds of beef, 400 pounds of
ham, 1000 loaves of bread, 100 pounds of
cheese, so pounds of butter and so pounds of

marched to the grove, headed by the Carroll
County Reed Band, and was followed by the
speakers and others in carriages, the Rayville

but one voted in the negative.
Candidate w. Tyler Page was next intro.
duced. He said his father had been Demo-

About the only person today who can
successfully hold commission under
his imperial majesty, this czar-likee
governor, would be person who could
neither talk or write, or in any way
express his opinions towards his royal
highness. If he even looked like he
didn t advocate every act of his admin
istration, why off goes his head. ,
This is not Democracy, not the KIND
that Jefferson and Jackson advocated
but 1t is anarchy of the vilest kind.
Senator Berry, whom everybody
knows, has a record that is good, ana
every vote that he has cast in the United
States senate was cast In the interest OF
his constituents, as was Senator Jones ;
but the people didn't know JEFF Davis
go we'll when Senator Jones was defeat
ed, and believed everything he told
them against Jones, Just wait until
the governor gets out on the stump en-
deavoring to secure Senator Berry 8
seat. See If he don t try his old game
to mislead the people by telling them
that Berry has been in very close touch
with the trusts and against the people
that he Is a very rich man and a thous'
and other things II he thinks for mo-
ment it will have the tendency to pro
mote his candidacy; but the worst part
of it Is, this same jeff Davis, present
governor of this great state will actually
have many to believe aud follow him
They are with him right or wrong, at
least it seems so. We believe Davis has
at last reached the top round OF his cor
ruptible political career.

But the fact that protection has done
80 much Is as far rs possible from JUST
fying the abuse Of 1t by what may Be
called the hog element In trade. II Is
a perfectly fair game for the opposition
TO show up trusts that, entrenched be'
hind protective laws, either tariff or
pstents, sell their goods abroad at lower
figures than they sell them at to the
very nation whose people give them the
protection that is their life. 1t 10 rob-
bery. The man who said he was SELL
ing goods below cost, and 90 could only
maintain himself by doing . very, large
business at II, IL a by.word for idiocy.
No successful concern sells Its products
at less than cost, and. II goods can b
sold at 4 certain figure In London or
South Africa, when made In America,
then they can be sold for more proht
right where they are made, and the man
who denies that seriously needs q con-
serystor. The protection given TO trusts
that sell abroad cheaper than at home
should be taken of at once.

PASSENGERS.

Ten. wa six, years ago II Demo.
cratjc candidate in Crawford county re-
ceiypd majority of 800 over his oppon-
4nt he considered himself very popu
lar man. But things have changed ana
we hardly feel like Growing over our
opponents, for this defeat is the great
est defeat they have met almost within
the history of the comfy and they are
clothed in sackclOth and ashes. we
think the lowest man on the ticket, one
they confidently expected to defeat
should have n majority of over 500. the
other majorities ranging almost up TO q
Thousand, in n vote Of barely 2 500. IS
something that is calculated to make
them shed brihy tears.
Right from the moment the nomina-
ton OF the ticket had been completed,
the Democrats felt certain of success,
but even they hardly expected such ma
iorities, but 1t goes to show the affairs
of the county have been conducted to
the satisfaction of the people since in
exclusive Democratic hands and they
saw no reason to make change. SO
for two years more Democratic hands
will guide the ship, and Democratic
oars propel II.
On the vote for governor there was a
falling off Of 500 votes, the vote this
year being 1900 TO 3,152 two ye'rs
since. An analysis of the vote shows
that Gov. Davis ran between two and
three hundred votes behind his ticket
and that Sheriff Pitcock ran over hun
dred votes ahead Of his vote of two
years since. -,
The contest between Greaves and
Myers WAS spirited one, with Myers
coming under the wires only a scratch
ahead, there being difference OF ~
votes between the two; Davis majority
over the two will BIZ greater than that
OF two years ago. This can be account
ed for BY the fact that the Republicans,
being lukpwarm regarding their county
ticket, failed to vote.
The vote In Van Buren, township was
reduced from nine hundred to seven
hundred, and this will reduce the num-
Der OF Justices allowed by one but there
IL u diversity OF opinion whether this
reduction takes place following this o.
the next election In township Offices
there WAS no opposition and all the
Democrats were elected.
It Is gratifying to know that the spe'

The Passing of JEFF Davis.
From the Arkadelphia Standard.

When JEFF Davis does begin to descend
from his phenomenal and unmeritorious
advancement into state prominence, and
we think it is a question of very short
time, he will fall with such force that,
politically speaking he will break every
bone in his body. He will be a 'dead
cock in the pit, - never to rise again.
We predict that his present followers
and supporters will point to him and
his record with shame and disgust and
wonder why or how they ever could
have advocated the candidacy of such
vile and open-handed demagogue.
There is virtually nothing in this erratic
and bulldozing governor or any act that
he has performed, at least very, very
few, that his constituency Of this
imperial state can point to with pride.
On the other hand there is vast and
unlimited territory to point him ont az
a man, who, seemingly delights in per.
scouting his fellow man In order to
carry out and accomplish his selfish
political ambitions So far In all OF his
political aspirations, regardless OF how
vile or unreasonable. he has succeeded
in foOling enough of the people into sup
porting him to reach Office but there IL
q day and n time coming when he can ",
/ do this, and that day and time is not fal
off. 1t will be when he endeavors tc
succeed that stalwart statesman, that
grand old one-leg Confederate soldier
Senator James II, Berry.

lambasted every man who sees tit to op
pose him. just as II this WASH t free
