DR. Edwin J Erickson has prcpar
ed and will introduce modified form
of the Jim Grow" car bill, which he
thinks will pass and become a law.
The new bill will affect only the East.
crn Shore counties south of Cecil. In
this form it will not apply to through
trains of the Pennsylvania and the
| Baltimore and Ohio railroads, nor 10
Chesapeake bay steamboats,. and will
thus, ii is said. escape much corporation
opposition. DIR. Dirickson claims that
those Democrats who opposed the Giles
bill are willing To support his bill, As il
does not affect their localities.
