Friday, Sept. 26, 1902.

The first real move of the anti-license
people looking to the overthrow of the
saloons in the county was that of the con-
vention at Elkton on Tuesday, when
steps were taken for the organization of
the temperance forces for a concerted
and energetic campaign against license.
A report of the meeting will be found in
another column, with the omission of
the resolutions adopted, which were
lengthy and reached us too late for pub
LEGATION in this issue.
An aggressive campaign should be car
ried out from now on-a personal cam
vass of the voters of the county by the
friends of temperance, rather than de-
pendence placed alone in resolutions, ETC.,
if the saloons are to be voted down this
fall. A systematic organization of the
foes of license in every District to cham
pion temperance and make canvass OF
the voters, will do much towards rolling
up such another majority against license
as overwhelmed it on the occasion when
the question was first submitted to the
voters of the county. Work for the cause
increasingly, enlist the assistance of your
friends and finally mark your ballot
''against license" and help rid the county
of those pest holes of vice and misery
the saloons.

From work done by the Maryland &c,

FROM work done by the Maryland Geo
logical Survey between Centreville and
Chestertown an accurate estimate has
been made of the cost of a permanent
Stag road in that section, and shows it to
be 81, 500 per mile for ~ # roadbed. The
Commissioners of Queen Anne's county
are being urged to devote the $4,000 al
lowed next year by the tax levy for the
roads, to permanent improvement of the
worst parts with Stag, in place of spread
ing it over the entire county in little
driblets for patching, as is customary.
The amount would be sufficient 10 cover
twelve miles, and give the county that
length of first class highways If the road
money had been so spent for the last ten
years the county would have rs or 80
miles of the best highways in the country,
and more than 100 miles of other roads
easily passable for teams hauling twice the
loads they now pull. An enabling act is
proposed under which Queen Anne coun-
ty may raise such an amount of money as
it would ordinarily spend in ten years,
with which to make general improve
ments at once.
Queen Anne's movement for better
highways may be little slow but it is
more in evidence than the one launched
in Cecil early in the spring, which seems
to have disappeared with the muddy roads

Rev. John d. Kemp.

Rev. John d. Kemp died at his
home, in Chestertown, on Sunday
morning, Dist inst, of heart trouble.
Though in poor health the end
came unexpectedly. About six
months ago Mr.. Kemp was stricken
with heart failure in his pulpit in
theIMethodist Episcopal church at
Millington and had since been in
poor health, being compelled to
resign his pastorate about month
ago. He leaves a widow and two
daughter, Mrs. Thomas S. Bordley,
of Chestertown, and Miss Maude
Kemp. The funeral was held on
Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Kemp was born at Love
Point, on Kent Island, Queen Anne
county, IS years ago. He read law
in the Office Of his brother, Thomas
Kemp, at Denton, Caroline county,
and was admitted to practice at the
Denton bar, and for ten years was
a conspicuous figure in the courts
of Caroline county. A man of pro-
found religious conviction, he
finally decided to 60 into the minis
terry of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. He was admitted into
the Wilmington Conference and
for 30 years was one of the strong
men of his conference. Mr.. Kemp
was we'll know in this town and
county, being appointed to Rising
Sun charge on two different &C.
casions. Among the charges filled
by the deceased during his
MINISTRY were the following in
Cecil county: Charlestown, 1928;
Rising Sun, 1916 and 1892;
Chesapeake City, 1879; Hope
well, 1861.

President Roosevelt in the Surgeons
Hands.

President Roosevelt's western
tour was suddenly ended at India
napolis Tuesday by the necessity of
performing a surgical operation for
the removal of an abscess in his
left leg, between the knee and
ankle, which had developed as "a
result Of his carriage accident in
Pittsfeld, Mass, September 3. The
fact that serious abscess had de-
velOped had been carefully con-
cealed. After making a number of
speeches in Indiana on the final
day of his tour, he was driven to
st. Vincent's Hospital, where the
operation was performed by DIR.
George FL. Oliver, of indianapolis.
AT the close of the operation the
surgeons announced that the trouble
was "not serious but temporarily
disabling" They also stated that
the indications favor speedy recov-
cry, and that it is imperative the
President shall remain quiet for a
time. The President was moved
on stretcher to a train and left for
Washington Tuesday evening.

William Mercy.

William Mercy, a merchant of
Elkton, died Monday morning after
a few hours illness of heart trou-
BILE, aged 81 years. He attended
the Methodist church Sunday
morning and was apparently in
better health than usual. He was
born in Germantown, Pa, and was
a son Of the late Rev. James Mer-
rey, of the Methodist church. He
was for years actively engaged in
farming in Elk Neck and moved to
Elkton Ii years ago and engaged
in business. He leaves a widow
and the following children: VIM.
and Walter Mercy, of Elkton;
Mrs. Amos Collins, Mrs. Charles
George and Mrs. Harry R. Wilson,
of North East. The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon; inter
ment at the Elkton cemetery.

After twenty weeks of the coal strike
there is little change in the situation, and
no hope of an early settlement. The
lines seem more tightly drawn. with nc
signs of any movement on the part Of
either the operators or the miners looking
to an adjustment of differences. The
operators claim that the output of coal
at those collieries and washeries which
are in operation is growing all the time,
but no figures are given out and as far as
thelpublic can see there is little coal in the
market to be had for love or money. The
strikers claim to have spies at the mines
where work is now carried on and they
are not alarmed over the amount of coal
being shipped. The public is still waiting
for the winters supply of coal and fully
realize now that their comfort and well
fare do not enter into the consideration of
the operators, whose sole purpose is to
crush the miners organization at any cost.
All the big corporation dailies have sug-
gestions to offer concerning the settle
ment of the strike, but not word do they
say against the conditions which have
been permitted to grow up in this country
whereby half dozen or so of coal barons
can disorganize and seriously cripple the
business of almost the entire country,
without being made amenable to the law.
The heads of these mining and similar
corporations are proudly referred to in
these trust times as Captains of indus
try" and the concerns they represent are
made more powerful than the state which
creates them by the sweeping charters
granted them to do business. The big
dailies, being under the influence and
control of the capitalistic class, fail to see
anything ominous or unusual in the con-
ditions which permit the unrestricted
operations of these gigantic corporations,
but the independent journals, which are
not swayed by these influences, have all
along pointed out the dangers and advo-
Gated plan whereby it would be impos-
sible for these mine owners to jeopardize
business and compel the public to submit
TO their will-that of government owner
ship and control of the mines. This idea
is fast gazing in favor and being embraced
by thinking people, who by this strike
have been made to realize as never before.
how hopelessly they are at the mercy OF
the mining corporations, and all sim
liar concerns banded together for the
purpose of controlling output and prices.

of neighbor. He was almost hopelessly
afflicted with diarrhoea; was attended by

serious condition, brought him bottle of

rhoea Remedy, which cured him in less
than twenty-four hours. For sale by Eli
