Last Saturday was an extremely un
lucky day for at least two prominent
citizens of this section and as a result
of the injuries they sustained both
are now patients at the McComas
Sanitarium on Second street.
DR.. J. Lee McComas, who is proba
bly, the best known physician in this
part of Maryland and also one of the
pioneer residents of Oakland, fell as
he was mounting the steps at his res
idence on Liberty street and in doing
so fractured his hip joint and also the
thigh bone of his left leg. He was
seen to fall by Mr. D. E. Bolden, who
went to his assistance and with the
help of a passerby they conveyed the
injured man into his house and mott
fed DR.. Henry McComas, his son, of
the accident Later the injured man
was conveyed 10 the sanitarium where
the bones were reset by Drs. McComas,
of Oakland, and Martin, of Baltimore,

that city, and who came here for the
purpose in response to Il telegram
summoning him.
His condition at this time, although
the operation of resetting the frac-
lures was highly successful and salts
factory, is very grave and it will re-
quire several days before his ultimate
recovery is assured.
Mr.. Selden E. Flowers, of Mountain
Lake Park, who was at work erect
ing dwelling for Michael r. Maroney
in the east end of town, fell from a
scaffolding of only five feet in height
fracturing his right hip and sustain
ing painful injury to his shoulder.
He was also taken to the sanitarium
where he received treatment and the
fracture reduced by the physicians in
charge. His condition is very graft
flying, although it will be several
weeks before he will be able to leave
the hospital.

Lafayette, with the help of q French
force brought by Count de Saint-Simon
in the ships of De Grasse, had done
on the south. In the fighting at York
town Rochambeau and Saint-Simon

Baron Steuben was a Prussian of
the land of Frederick the Great, who
was a great admirer of Washington.
He did not call himself a German in
the sense of today, but d Prussian.
The Teutons In the service of King
George during the revolution were the
subjects of the Prince of Hesse-Cas-
sci and had been hired out at so much
per head to fight wherever ordered
Frederick the Great, Steuben was re-
tired upon princely income from the
realm. He was a splendid military
disciplinarian, and while visiting Paris
in 1177 the French secretary of war en-
listed his sympathies with the Ameri-
can patriots. He offered his services to
congress in IT'S, saying that he had
given up an honorable title and lucra-
tive rank at home and desired to serve
in the defense of human rights and
| liberties as a volunteer without reward
in riches or honor. If his labors were
satisfactory and the Revolution a sue
cess, he asked that the government re-
fund the income he had sacrificed and
| compensate him for his services. He
remained to the end of the war the
drillmaster and inspector of the Amer
lean army.
OF the two Polish allies, Kosciusko
and Pulaski, Kosciusko came before
Washington in 1776 as a volunteer and
in answer to the question, "What can
you do?' simply said, "Try me" Cen
eral Gates, the American commander
Ut Saratoga, said that the noble Pole
was the best engineer he ever saw, and
the fact that Kosciusko laid out the
lines which baff1ed Burgoyne is evil
dence that the compliment was no idle
one. Kosciusko also planned the de-
fenses of West Point, on the Hudson;
served as one of Washington's adju-
| tantS, ana tOugnt under Natnanael
Greene in the Carolinas.
Like his compatriot Kosciusko, Count
Casimir Pulaski had fought for free
dom in Poland, and there was price
on his head when he left France at the
instigation of Ben Franklin, in 1777,
to offer his sword to Washington. Aft
er a brilliant exploit with Washing
toms bodyguard at the battle Of Bran
dywine he was appointed brigadier
general. His corps of lancers became
famous under the name "Pulaskfs le-
| gion" After various adventures In the
north Pulaski Joined the army Of Lin
coin in the south and finally received a
mortal wound while commanding the
American csvslry ar savannah.

TlVE of the brilliant soldiers of
- the old world who drew their
n swords to battle for American
BY JONATHAN JOYCE

"lVE of the brilliant soldiers of
- the old world who drew their
N swords to battle for American
independence especially deserve
to be remembered on the Fourth of
July. Two of the number were French
men, Lafayette and Rochambeau; two
Poles, Kosciusko and Pulaski, and one,
Steuben, a German of the Germans.
Lafayette, young, impulsive and brave,
is perhaps the hero of them all in
romantic sense. He captivated the
American fancy by his noble bearing
and his unshrinking devotion With
out him France would probably never
have become the ally of the patriots;
without him Rochambeau would net
have led French army on American
battlefelds, and but for his influence
in Paris Steuben would not have been
enlisted in the fight for human liberty
on American soil. AS an aid on the staff
of Washington, Lafayette snUweu suvn
gallantry in battle, united with genius
for doing the right thing, that he was
given the command of troops. At Mon
mouth he saved the division first in
trusted to the notorious Charles Lee
from disaster and disgrace.
Returning to France, he succeeded in
securing a land and naval force to
serve as an auxiliary to Washingtons
command in the colonies. The result
was the dispatching of a French feet
under D'Estaing and 6,000 soldiers led
by Rochambeau. Lafayette was given
a special corps Of light infantry made
up of colonials. This body he led to
Virginia to fight the traitor Arnold, who
had gone over to England's side. By a
junction with Mad Anthony" Wayne
Lafayette headed off the British inva-
sion of the interior Of Virginia and
caused the retreat of CORVALLIS to
Yorktown, which he and his army new
err left except as prisoners to Washing
ton and the gallant allies.
ROchambeau was with Washington
all through the brilliant campaign
which deceived Clinton, at New York,
and enabled the allies to make hasty
march to Yorktown. With the French
contingent Washington made a feint
to attack New York from New Jersey,
but instead slipped away to Virginia,

Constable George Stahl, accom-
panied by a deputy, arrived in Oak
land Sunday morning about four
o'clock, having in charge Norman
Camp, of Keyser Ridge. near Grants
vile, who was heavily manacled both
hand and foot to prevent him from
making his escape and also to hinder
him from making an attack upon the
officers.
Camp, who is about 30 years of age,
resided with his brother Wilson on
keyser Ridge, five miles west of
Grantsville. On Saturday, in a sud
den fit of insanity, he produced a
large pocket knife and exclaimed: Il
am going to cut the baby's head off"
meaning a little child of his brother
Johns, who was playing on the floor.
He made an effort to reach the child
but was prevented by Wilson and in
the scutiie that ensued the latter re
ceived serious cut in his side from
the knife in the hands Of his brother.
At the time the cut was thought to
be fatal but DR.. Bevans. who is at
tending the injured man states that
he is in fair way to recover.
After having made the assault Nor
man left the house and went to the
store of Harry Leatham, which is sit
uated at some distance, and there
made a vicious assault upon Mr..
Leatham. The latter. with the as
sistance of another man who happen
ed to be present, succeeded in throw
ing Camp to the floor and in securely
tying him in which condition he was
taken to Grantsville and there COM
mitted to Jail as above related.
Monday night in the Jail Camp be-
came particularly vicious and it re-
quired the united efforts of three men
and Sheriff Maffett to get him into
his cell. Tuesday and yesterday he
was very quiet.
He has been for several years past
subject to epilepsy which has I'M
doubtedly affected his mind as to
make him wholly unaccountable for
his actions.

Letter to DR.. M. c. Hinebaugh.

Dear Sir: For your house, no mat
ter what's the matter with tit isn't
a human you know-a prescription:
Devoe lead and zinc. Apply with
brush, from one to three coats-get a
painter to do it.
Your State chemist knows all about
Devoe; has analysed it; reports it
pure will analYze it occasionally.
He buys it wherever he likes-it is
generally in the best paint store in
town.
You know what the color and dryer
are for; do you know what the lead
and zinc and oil are for? Not being a
painter, you may not choose to know
but we'll tell you.
Lead and zinc and oil combine to
form a rubbery, waterproof coat to
keep out dampness. That's the whole
business.
The oil would do it alone; lead and
oil would do it, without the zine; zinc
and oil without lead but the three
together are best because they wear
the best.
We say to you, get a painter" as
we'd say to him get a doctor every
man to his trade. Can't all be paint
ers and doctors; don't want to.
You will be more successful in a
prosperous looking house and he in
good health. Take good care of one
another.
Yours truly,

GOOD ROADS 100000
That's the Sum Wanted in
Cumberland County.
The People Preparing For Great Meeting at
Which Governor Aycock is Invited
TO Speak.

Cumberland county is being thorough
ly aroused on the Good Roads question.
Senator James D. Mcneil, of Fayette-
VILE, who was in the city yesterday, in
speaking of the matter, said that the
greatest interest was being shown in the
matter.
His visit to Raleigh included in it's
duties a visit to Governor Aycock, whom
the people of Cumberland desire to at
tend a great Good Roads meeting
which will be held in Fayetteville in
April. At this meeting there will be a
number of prominent speakers interest
ed in the making of good roads in the
State.
Cumberland county has plan that
promises great results 1t is to issue
bonds for $4,000 for the improvement
of the roads of the county and as SEN
ator Mcneil put it yesterday, this can
be done without raising the taxes in the
slightest degree.
In 1898 the county issued bonds for
the erection of court house, and the
taxes from the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad were set aside to meet the bond
issue. At that time these taxes amount
cd to about $4,000 yearly, but with the
years mas come an increase in the tax
with the increase in value, which now
puts it nearly up to the $4,000 mark.
The plan is to issue the 100000 bonds.
use $4,000 a year to pay "a five per cent
interest, and set aside $4,000 as sinking
fund, all the time meeting the obliga-
tions for the court house bonds with the
other money from the railroad taxes.
Senator Mcneil is enthusiastic over
the prospects and feels that the meet
ing to be held in Fayetteville in April
will put on foot great effort for good
roads. such a one as will result in the
passage of a bill by the next Legisla-
ture authorizing the issue Of $1OO,0O0 in
bonds for good roads in Cumberland.
