County Commissioners.

At the session of the County
Commissioners for Cecil county at
Elkton Tuesday S. 7. Willis ap-
peared before the board asking for
a new public road in the Fifth dis
trict connecting the River road
with the North East road, and also
advocated the closing up of the old
Bull Mountain road. A petition
was received from w. o. Brumfeld,
r. L. Tosh and a large number of
prominent and representative citi
zens of the Sixth district protesting
against a new road at Colora, but
petitioned the board to grade Colora
hill. The board decided to meet
at Colora on January % to inspect
the road. A petition was re
ceived from Samuel X. Emerson
and 12O other representative tax
payers of the First district praying
the commissioners to assist in re-
pairing the dam at Freeman's mill,
the same being public road and
necessary to the convenience and
comfort of the public. The board
agreed to allow $500. A petition
was received from a number of the
taxpayers of the First district to
extend the public road leading TO
Budds landing.
The board ordered the Diamond
State Telephone Company to re-
move at once all brush from the
side bitches on the roads in the
Sixth district, under penalty.
r. c. Thackery, attorney for E.
S. Treyford, who has a claim OF
1886. go for the wrecking of a
threshing machine near Leeds,
alleged to have been caused by a
faulty bridge, appeared before the
Board in the interest of his client.
w. HI. Abrams was appointed
constable at North East.

Primary Election Laws.

Three primary election bills were pre-
sented to the legislature this week, and
doubtless any one of the measures, if
enacted, would be decided improvement
over the present method in vogue. There
is no portion of our election machinery so
badly in need of reform and readjustment
as that of the primary as at present con-
Quoted, the nominations resulting there
FROM seldom being the choice of ma
iority of the members of the party plac-
ing candidates in the field for election.
We have received copy of the bill
prepared by the Walbrook Democratic
Association, of Baltimore, which is one of
those presented to the legislature 1t
embraces a number of good features
which commend it, and is worthy of the
careful consideration of our Lawmakers
at Annapolis. The main features of the
Walbrook Primary Election Law, as
found in the summary of the bill, are:
I. Primaries of all parties shall be held
on the same day, at the same place, be-
fore the same judges and clerks, being
the official Judges of Election, and with
one ballot box.
2. All candidates shall be proposed by
''Certificates" signed by certain number
of their party associates and filed with
the Board of Supervisors of Election.
3. Each candidate shall pay moier-
ate fee on filing his certificate, but all
other expenses of Primary Election shall
be born by the state.
q. Ali provisions of law concerning
General Elections including the laws
defining and Furnishing offences shall
apply at primary elections.
S. All nominations, except for Presi-
dental electors, for any party having a
place on the official ballot at general
election shall be made by primary cleo
ton and not by convention. The candi-
dates shall be voted for directly.

Board of Health.

The Cecil County Board of Health
met at the Office of the Secretary,
in Elkton, on Tuesday.
The statistical report for th year
1901 was not completed as the birth
certificates from several physicians
have not been received and four
deaths, known by this board to
have occurred, have not been re-
ported by the undertakes. The
board expects to get these certifi-
Gates without the aid of the law
but proposes to get them.
Vaccine physicians are notified
to send their bills against the
county to the Secretary of the
Board of Health to insure prompt
payment.
One case of scarlet fever each in
Elkton, North East and Fourth
district. Three cases Of diphtheria
in North East. One case of ty
phoid fever near Colora and one at
Principle.
Vaccination, re-vaccination and
avoidance of cities infested with
Anti Vaccination Societies and
smallpox are strongly recommend
ed. There is no small pox in the
State of Maryland.
Eleven births and thirty deaths
were reported for December.

CLUB OF RED-HAIRED MEN.
City of Washington Has an Organi-
cation of Members with Au.
burn Locks,

One of the most unique social or.
CARNATIONS in the country has re.
Gently been formed at Washington,
says the Star of that city. The only
intiexible rule for membership is that
the applicant shall have red hair.
The society is defined by member
as being society of protest" but
strictly social in its aims, 1t has no
philanthropical nor political ideals,
and there is no danger, should the
idea spread and become national in
its scope, of the r. H. C.'s putting
forth candidate for the presidency.
1t seems that the society organized
in rebellion against the antiquated
and moldy witticisms which red
haired people in all parts of the CIV
ilized and uncivilized world are sup.
posed to enjoy, or at least to suffer
with sickly pretense of enjoymtnt.
Just what there is in the fact that
person possesses red hair that
would call forth the efforts of the
would-be wit may never be learned"
said young lady, who is employed
at the bureau where the club origi-
mated. But 1t Is true that from time
immemorial red-haired people have
suffered boredom from the shafts of
a certain obnoxious type of joker.
Yet it has been left for the bright
headed employees of this bureau to
formulate an organized protest"
The air of mystery which sur
90 ha lNaa-
is source of great pique to their fel.
low clerks. 1t is alleged that a con-
stitution and bylaws have been
drawn up defining the purposes of
the club and that the president is
faeetiously referred to as the most
lurid luminary." The other officers
and members as Satellites" "lesser
lights" etc.
A ctrtain young doctor who is en-
ployed in the bureau is reputed to
be the president of the club. He not
only boasts a shock of bright red
hair of the most approved color, but
reJoices in an exceedingly luxuriant
growth of flaming beard as well.
When questioned as to the au-
tnehticlty OF Ine report that he was
the president of the club or rather
the "most lurid luminary," the med
ical man laughed and refused to eth
err affirm or deny the report. The
doctor. In discussing the society,
called attention to the fact that some
of the greatest personages of history
were red-haired. David is described
ds "ruddy youth" those tresses of
the sainted maid of Orleans, which
Sh0Re so brightly beneath the royal
fieur-de-lis of France and mingled so
pathetically with the leapfng flames
of Rheims, are historical; ST. Paul was
red-haired; the lovely but Inflated
Mary Queen of Scots had a natural
crown of rudy gold; Julius Caesar
and Martin Luther are alleged to
have had red hair,

New Year ResoIutions,-soon Broken.

Now behold, there was a certain man who sat
down and conversed with himself thusly.
Saying: Verify thou art bad citizen, thou
hast habits that hold thee even as a vicious bull
dog holds onto the nose of the bovine.
Verify it behooves thee to shake them off from
thee; to cast aside thy wickedness as is done with
an old gum shoe; to bid farewell to those who
larry long over the frothing beer, and to make of
myself good moral citizen and an ornament to
the community.
So he swore unto himself that he would no
more lie, nor drink, nor use profane language,
nor 10 anything that should mar the aspect of
life as it should be lived.
When he arose on New Year morning, behold !!
he was grievonsly athrst: yet he thirsted not tor
the water that cometh from the cistren.
Nay, his throat was parched and he fain would
have something that his stomach craved and
would make his heart merry within him.
When he had broken his fast there came upon
him great craving for cigar.
But he had said to himself that tobacco was an
invention of the evil one, that it cost money and
he would have none oft.
So he kept his dimes in his pocket and did not
buy, and all that New Year morning he was filed
with high moral purpose and much dissatisfaction.
Now about the third hour of the afternoon he
went out upon the streets of the town, CARRIED in
his best raiment.
And he went unto the house of a friend where
| the New Year was being welcomed where the
beer held its froth and the pop of the cork was
cont luous in its reverberations.
| And when he entered the house, 10 ! he was re-
| ceived with open arms and large glass OF beer,
called a schooner, OVERLOOKING with froth.
But he would have none Oft
| Whereupon they pressed him that he might
| take just little to show that there was no hard
| feeling
Seeing that he was firm in his refusal his friends
| called him a mummy, fossil and other ugly
names.
Then he reached forth with his right hand and
| seized the glass OF beer and drank it.
And after he had tarried there space he went
unto another house where the beer was respond
ing to encores and was the whole show in that
house.
And when he departed from that house he had
much Joy in his soul and five cent cigar In his
mouth
And when he met his friends on the street he
told them they looked finer than they ever looked
before.
Now, it is written that he who starteth at the
top of the toboggan slide must go unto the bottom
and thus it was with this man whereof we write
For when he reached his home again it was at
the time when the whippoor-will had said its last
good night.
Then he again reasoned with himself and said,
verify. have scattered my good resolutions in
quicker time than ever before in my life, and
what is the use of swearing off from those things
that we most admire when there are so many
things We could quit and never miss them.
Truly, my son, if we did not break resolutions
we would get too good and could not break any
more.
