eye.opener in helping poor Farmer Boy along
the rugged path to the ideal. may be going
ahead too fast though. and had better be
little careful or before | know it will have to
sell that horse and buggy for lawyers fees, SO
suppose you leave out the foregoing, Messrs.
Editors, for was in Towson short while ago
and the way the lawyers were looking for jobs
almost frightened me. What in the world do
we want with SO many of them anyway? l

neighbor, etc., it would not save good deal of
money for number of people. The Golden
Rnle works destruction to the law.
Leaving myself out of the subject what
Mary Sidney wrote was very fine. You did
your readers great kindness by bringing an
article of such worth to their notice. / hope

The Phoenix Industrial Association.
In view of the fact that the cotton duck mill
at Phoenix, N. G. r. R., which is now in the
trust, shut down indefinitely this week, the
operators and others interested held meet
ing in the village on Thursday night and
formed themselves into the Phoenix Industrial
Association and elected the following officers ::
President, Wesley A. Royston; yice-president,
w. w. Hare; secretary, o. Virgil Hare; treas
urer, W. M. Mays; executive committee
Philip Price, John Parker, H. Morris, Charles
Slower and John Smith. The chairman re-
quested the secretary, o. Virgil Hare. to state
what might be accomplished. Mr.. Hare said
in part:
to give tonight is to form a busindsss league
with competent officer in charge of its work
ings. An organization of this kind should be
Joined by every citizen of the community and
receive their hearty cooperation. In order
to make the work more effective commit
tee should be appointed of citizens who are
willing to give portion of their time to look
after the interest of the town.
The first thing for this committee to do
would be to endeavor to obtain a definite
statement from the owners of the mills as to
the probability of them being started up again
in the near future. 1t would be benefit to
the people to know this, as then they could
make their plans accordingly. If it is learned
that the present owners do not intend to con-
tinue the operation of the mills, and that they
will be shut down indefinitely, then the prop
er thing to do is to go back at them, stating our
unfortunate condition, and endeavor to ascer-
tain if they are willing either to sell or rent
the property. If their answer be in the affir-
native, then let this committee get out and
hustle and find either tenant or buyer.
From the best information l can obtain this
would not be difficult problem.
If our effort along this line is marked with
failure we will rot give up in despair, but will
enter vigorously into negotiations with view
of bringing other manufactures in our midst,
and at the same time pointing out the superior
advantages of this location, and / see no rea-
son why, with a concerted well-defined move
meDt on the part of the citizens we cannot be
successful in locating not only an industry to
take the place of the plant which has been
shut down, bnt other industries as well.
Look Out for These Swindlers.-Several
cases have occurred recently where fruit grow
ers have taken the advice of unknown or ire
sponsible agents to destroy their orchards in
fected with San Jose scale, or other insects or
diseases, the agent thus securing sale of
trees for new orchard at the expense of the
grower, who, with proper care, might have
saved his trees and made them profitable for
many years.
