WILLIAM r. WARBI RTON.

William II. Warburton, ESD. was the
next speaker Said hc:-"On Saturday
evening last, Mr. Joshua Clayton. who
offered the bill in the Maryland Iegisla-
turc. called ut my residence, and in an
interview with me- said that when he
introduced the bill. he was not aware of
its provisions, that the person mot in
forming me who it waSl, who handed
il To him. stated that it was only in
tended is II measure to rchabiitatc the
Elkton Fair 50 that agricultural fairs
could be held again under the same con
ditionS rs previously, that he did not
read the bill until after coming to Elkton
ON Friday evening last, when he had
gone over it carrfully.'
said. in my criticism of the bill be-
fore Mr. Clayton. 1T is the most cX-
tra"mIinnry and infamous ILL that has
ever been offered before the Legislature
uf any Stat" in the Union. =" COntiml-
ing Mr.. Narbultou said that Mr.. Clay
ton agreed with him. and upon being
questioned. said that he tMr. Clayton
thought it would allow poul-Solling horse
racing. the sal" of whiSkcy, etc. etc.
and promised that when he returned to
annapolis, he would have the bill re-
ported unfavorably.
Mr.. Warburton, then gave his opinion
ol the bill. He considered that such an
enactment would allow the sale of pools.
the exhibition of shows of any churac-
ter, the sale of whiSkey the running of
races, all of which would be exempt of
all state and local laws. If the E!kton
Improvement Company desires the power
To hold Il simple country fair, all that is
necessary TO do is to secure power under
the general Incorporation laws, under
which the old agriculture society was in
corporatcd." This bill of theirs. now he
fore the Legislature, is not only an eff
fort to bring this evil home to us at Elk
ton, but empower them to carry it ON
anywhere in the State.
! trust powerful influence will be
brought to bear, so that such ncfarous
and infamous legislation cannot be Sc
cured.

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS,

THE Cecil Wig endorses with
the greatest pleasure, Senator
Il Moore'S bill. which has just
passed the Maryland Senate. to
pension aged and infirm teachers in the
public schools of the State. The amount
of the pension is 5000. to be paid quart
crly. 70 be eligible for II pension the
teacher must have served - years in the
schools. and application cannot be made
after they are 60 years of age. The bill
carries IN appropriation of ten Thousand
dollars. If any one deserves better sup
port. it is the public school teacher. Their
profession is one that contributes most
materially to the welfare of the State
and Society-hut they are undergrad. OF
all the countries of the civilized world
Italy possibly most lily provides for its
school teachers. and Italy will never
make important progress until this pro-
fesSion is put on Il higher plain. Enlight-
cned America should do more for its pub
lie school teachers. Let Cecil county not
hang back.

again. To-day am well man in every sense
of the word, and all through the use of DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
of which am proudto speak and stand ready
to give a helping word to suffering humanity.
My health is my greatest blessing, and woras
fail to express the gratitude | feel for
Greene and his wonderful remedy"
No other remedy in the world will DO
you so much good as DR.. Greenes Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. 1t is the
true spring medicine, the ideal spring
restorative and strength-rcncwer.
No remedy is so sure to purify the
blood and strengthen the nerves, to
bring back bloom and color to the wan
and faded cheeks, the brillinncy to the
hollow and haggard eyes, the ightness
and elasticity to the weak and weary
steps, the strength, vigor, and vitality
to the unstrung, shattered, and worm
out nerves. 1t is, indeed, the greatest
of all spring medicines, for it makes
those who use it well and strong.
People have more confidence in DR..
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve
remedy than in any other medicine, be-
cause it is the prescription of regular
physician and therefore perfectly adapt
ed to cure. DR.. Greene, 1Ol Fifth Ave.

War Dr. Hall was then pastor of Sur.

attendance were representative citizens.
who met, determined to see the defeat of
the measure that would make possible =
return of GlouccstcriSm to Elkton.
In its issue last week. the Cecil Wing"
published in full the bill referred to. and
made editorial comment thereon. As
soon as the features of the bill were APP
preciatcd, Delegate Clayton in public
statement said, that he had offered it..
not knowing its dangerous features, and
would accordingly make an unfavorablc
report, in which he was readily joined
by the other delegates. The bill WAS
on Thursday, and consequently the meas
urc was killed. 1t is not to be taken for
granted, however that the effort on the
part of the race-track advocates is stillctl.
so let the people, the Delegation in the
Legislature, and the committee named at
the convention on Tuesday be on their
guard.

Mr.. Evans then analysed the bill that

to have passed by the Legislature. Re

states that the company shall hold rX-
hibtionS. exhibit live stock. hold trials of
speed. barter and sell goods within the
grounds now owned. or which shall be
owned, notwithstanding amy special or
general laws to the contrary. He said,
that under such legislation. there would
be nothing in the line ,Of vice and inn
morality which they could not do. and
do with impunity They could buy prop
crty and start lottery, they could buy
property and have II poker game legal
lied, they could hold athletic sports in
the form of pri2c-fThting, they could rX-
hibit immoral shows and Mt all these ex-
hibitions, etc, appoint their own officers,
who could be blind to anything. This at
tempt to again foist this upon us is in

race course will not be cleared away from
this community within the next fifty
years. II is the duty of all citizens to see
that it is not again brought here to our

few gentlemen in Elkton and elsewhere

In the spring every body needs and
should take u spring medicine. Spring
is the time TO be cured if you are sick,
and the spring finds most of us in poor
condition, blood poor, nerves relaxed,
weak, and unstrung, and the organs
clogged and sluggish in action.
DR.. Greene's Ncrvura blood and nerve
remedy is the best spring medicine in
the world, the best possible remedy for
you to take, the one sure spring restora-
