The editor of the Bethany, Mis-

ing over an old day book in which
were kept the accounts of the lead
ing general store in Bethany in
1873. He has taken therefrom a
list of the prices charged for some
of the staple articles of house use
at that time, and, us he suggests,
comparison of the same with the
cost of similar necessities today
makes it possible. more fully to
appreciate the howl of hard times
and the present cost of living.
Conl oil was fifty cents Il gallon;
molasaes was S1.10; matches were

cents yard; blue denim was thirty
cents yard; tea was Sl.T5 Il pound,

prices farmers got for their pro

recorded with local farmer who

"IIE additional evidence secured

u ton officials from the Seventh
District. in the contested Cecil
county election ease, in Elkton on We'd
ncsday, only adds to the weight of tcsti-
mony brought forth at the hearing last
week, as showing tlrlt it is necessary to
make Il recount of the ballots east ut the
last election. InaSmuch us the majOritics
in the cases ut issue are very slight, there
can be no consistent ground upon which
this recount can be refused the Rcpubli-
can contestants.
This ease is one in which every true
citizen is deeply interested. In fact,
through the working of this inigutouS
election law. every mans franchise is 1T
stake. and it is time that the people If
Maryland rise in their might and strike
down the cOtrrc of Democratic politi-
clans, who seek to carry out their
