carefully looked after, has never lost dollar
by careless management or doubtful invest
ments.
Mr.. Mccormick was one of the original
members Of Locust Grove Grange Patrons of
Husbandry, and has been its Master for years.
He has always, by common consent, been the
REPRESENTATIVE of this Grange in the Maryland
For over twenty-five years Mr.. Mccormick
has been member of Garden Lodge, |. o. o.
F., of Gardenville, and also of Sharon En-
campment of the same order.
For ten years he was assistant superInten-
dent and superintendent of the Sunday school
of Gatch's NJ. E. Church, and has been stew
ard of that church for over twenty years.
When the last assessment was made in Mary
land Mr.. Mccormick was appointed one of the
assessors for the old 18th district-now included
in the 18th, 14th and 18th districts. In this
work, with his colleagues, he assessed 500
separate pieces OF property, the total basis of
which reached the enormous sum of SIG ,000-
600. This assessment included the important
towns of Highlandtown, Canton and Sparrow's
Point. The only other public Office he ever
held-and this much against his own wishes
was enumerator for the U. s.. census of 1880,
1890 and 1900. In this latter capacity he be-
came acquainted with almost every family in
that section of the county and the friends he
made, because of his engaging personality, can
be counted by the thousands. He has never
before been candidate for any public Office,
and although frequently solicited to enter pub
lie life he steadily and modestly refused such
preferment.
Mr.. Mccormick married the only daughter
of the late George Councilman, whose family,
for several generations, owned the property
known for more than a century as Mark Alex
ander's Range-which is now his home and
where his successful business is conducted. He
has four sons, one of whom is DIR. g. Carville
Mccormick, popular practicing physician
who has been in the employ of the Maryland
Steel Company at Sparrow's Point for ten
years. The other sons are engaged in business
with their father.
incidentally it may be remarked that during
the twenty-three years of Mr.. McCOrmick's
connection with the Baltimore County Agri-
cultural Society he has never missed but two
meetings of the board of managers, and these
lapses were caused by serious accident that
happened to him several years ago by an cleo
trio car collidng with his carriage on the Belair
road, and which confined him to hospital for
over two months. He still feels the effects of
a strong and active man and one who has the
interests of Baltimore county close to his heart
If the people should elect him County Com
missioner he will carry into the Board the
same uprightness of character and thorough
ness and cleanness of business methods that
have characterized his entire life.
Mr.. Mccormick, although always a consis-
tent Republican, is in no sense an offensive
partisan" He respects his own political opin-
ions as he does those of others and, if elected,
we feel assured that he will labor for the best
interests of the county and not for the advance
ment of party interest which, unfortunately,
has been too much the case in that office in
late years.
