THE DEMOCRATS of Anne Arundel county
are Just now in beautiful middle and if the
Republicans don't carry that county next fall
by good big majority it will be their own
fault. The county convention, which was held
at Annapolis on Tuesday, ''split wide OPEN"
The Wells-BaDnon faction swept everything
before it and, after several sensational scenes,
the Williams-Nutwell wing withdrew from
the convention. The delegates to the State
convention were instructed to support Mr..
Edwin Warfield for Governor.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that ex. Governor
Lowndes has many times declared that he
would not enter a primary contest for the
nomination for Governor this year the daily
newspapers are still industriously circulating
reports that he is candidate for that office
and that he is hobnobbing with Congressman
Jackson and Mudd with view to securing
the nomination also that he is in the fight to
beat Senator McComas for reelection. One
thing may be said of Mr.. Lowndes with
perfect certainty and that is that he is too good
a Republican to do anything calculated to
ieopardize the interests of his party. He has
already served it we'll and earned the respect
and confidence of the people of the State and
they would be pleased to honor him again

THE DEMOCRATIC primary election in Har-
ford county, held last Saturday under the
Crawford county system, resulted in the nom-
ination of the following ticket: For Associ-
ate Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit-George

William S. Forwood, Jr.; for Treasurer
John Finney Wells for County Commissioner
Albert l.. Mccain; for States Attorney-J.
Royston Sitter; for Sherif-Stevenson A.

Joseph A. Price, George J. Finney, E. Carvil
Tolley; for County Surveyor-Wm. T. Clark;
for House of Delegates-Daniel H. Carroll,
Thomas Hitchcock Charles A. Andrews and
Henry C. Lauder. Mr. Lauder beat George w.
McComas by a plurality of two. The ma
jority of Mr.. Van Bibber over Mr.. George Y.
Maynadier was about 1,400, while Mr.. For
woods plurality was 2S1. 1t is thought there
will be a recount of the entire vote of the
county in order to settle disputes.

MORE THAN once we have advised our readers
never to despise little things simply because
they are common. Take the hen for instance,
which our farmers do not half care for and
whose value they overlook. Listen to the voice
of Missouri, the profitable home of the hen.
| The st. Louis Star exclaims: "Thehe of
the United States alone during the year 1902
deposited in and around the barns and chicken
houses 100000, 600 eggs, always taking care
to announce each separate deposit with a tri-
umphant cackle, to the end that the same
might be recorded. These white pellets
brought in the markets fully $4,000 900, an
amount which, combined with the worth of
the poultry (s137, 900, O0O) is nearly double the
value of all the precious metals yielded up by
the bosom of old Mother Earth during the
period named and six times greater than all
the wool feeced from the backs of all the sheep
in this country for the same year."
IT Is said to be the intention Of many of the
cotton mill owners of New England and the
South to close their works for few weeks so
as to make their present supplies of cotton last
as long as possible, or until some of the new
crop begins to come into the market. This is
done as means of knocking out the cotton
gamblers, who have established corner on
the supply now in hand, and have sent the
prices up to exorbitant figures Many thous-
ands of persons will thus be thrown out of
work, but the cornerers will be overthrown.
This is drastic method of dealing with the
spectators, but it will be effective if the plans
of work suspension be carried out.
A MAJORITY of anti.imperialists on the
Springfield (Mass.) library board have refused
to allow Mckinley statue to be erected on the
grounds of the institution. But for this char
acteristic incident the world would have sup
posed that the last of the anti-imperialists had
climbed into hole and pulled it after them.
THE UNITED STATES has 202, All miles of rail-

that keeps company with the hours.
LITTLE gold was exported last year, but
