improvements at Garrett National Bank
This spring has witnessed on almost
complete transformation of the exte-
rior as well as interior of the Garrett
National Bank building opposite
this office. Recently large plate
glass windows were placed in the
front of the building which added
very materially to the comfort as well
as appearance. Saturday a very
elaborate oxidized rail with panels of
Clipped glass was placed around the
counters of the banking room and
Tennessee marble slabs set in the
openings for the cashier and teller.
The rail or net work is magnificent
piece of work of modern construc-
ton and one entering the banking
room is struck with it's beauty and
symmetry. A contract has been made
with a painting firm to repaint the
building a light stone color, the work
upon which is to be begun at an early
day.

SECRET OE SUCCESS.

Selfcofidence is the explanation of
al successful careers. 1t is a virtue
that should be carefully cultivated in
the young, for the lack of self-trust
may amount to complete self-efface-
ment in the competitions of life.
There was something imposing in the
excessive self-reliance of Napoleon,
who declared if there were no one to
make cannon and gunpowder he could
make them. at is alone who have
arranged the finances, you know"
This is colossal egotism, it is true, but
it was the motive power that made
Napoleon one of the most magnificent
military successes in history. 1t is
better to possess the quality of self
confidence in excess than not to pos
sess it at all Montague, among the
shrewdest of practical philosophers,
says, ITO speak less of him self than
he possesseth is folly and not mod
esty" Offense lies not in relying up
on ones self, but in speaking boast
fully of ones ability and exploits. A
writer observes that some offensive
cyclists are of indispensable impor-
lance to the carrying on of American
life.
Whom we could ill spare; any one
of them would be national loss. But
it spoils conversation. They are ev-
er thrusting their pampered self be-
tween you and them. Nature util-
ICES misers, fanatics, cyclists, to ac-
complish her ends, but we must not
think better of the foible for that. )"
Self-confidence is, therefore, to be
carefully distinguished from self
praise, which even in the greatest of
men, is intolerable A man should
believe in himself, but he should not
advertise his merit by his own proc
lamation. 1t was the injunction of a
| famous artist, ito confide in ones
sell, and be something of value"
When this is ones mental attitude
toward ones self, long step has been
taken in the path of success.
Self-confidence is the offspring of
self-respect. ITO think merely of
ones self is to sink" Tell yourself
and be not daunted by things"
Those are the precepts which inspire
men to worthy, if not famous,
achievements. A great deal may be
expected from a man who, in a new
difficult and untired position, acts
as if he had Alright to be there. 1t is
related that the Saxons were taught
to believe that they would be first,
and the aggressive energy of the race
may be due to this primitive inspir-
alton.
Though it may seem an affection,
the young man who stands alone has
| an opportunity to test his manhood,
and such opportunities should be
welcomed. $50 forward with hope and
confidence" was the best advice which
the sage could give to the youth who
desired to learn the mystery of sue
cess. Self confidence can never be
learned in seclusion. 1t is nurtured
in the school of the world, by contact
with men in touch with affairs. OF
course, it will be understood that we
are not encouraging the overween-
ing self confidence that despises the
advice of experience; but we must
learn to try our own wings, to trust
our own powers, if we are to make
notable progress in the world.

SHOULD BE FRIENDS.

William Jennings Bryan and Henry
Watterson should soon become
friends, it would seem, because they
haYe one subject in common on
which they both agree absolutely and
emphatically, strong dislike for
Grover Cleveland They both seem
to take the greatest pleasure in berat-
ing and abusing him on any and all
occasions. 1t is difficult to under
stand the reason for the great dislike
Watterson displays to Mr.. Cleveland,
when, as is well remembered, during
Mr.. CIeyeland's first administration
Henry Watterson was very close to
him, even on the terms of greatest in
timacy. 1t must be based on some
personal difference between the two
men, a matter entirely social in its
nature. AS far as the shades of their
political opinions are concerned, Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Watterson have
almost indentieally the same views on
public questions. 1t was Mr.. Waiter
son who spoke of Mr.. Cleveland as a
man whose name was entwined with
victory" and he also said there is
but one grander democrat than Gro
yer CleYeland of New York and that
is the queenly woman he has made his
wife" All this remarkable and decid-
ed admiration seems to have been
converted into an intense dislike and
all his remarks now about Mr.. Cleye-
land seems to have bitter personal
tinge to them.
On the other hand Mr.. Bryan in his
opposition is not SO difficult to under
stand. He leads the element in the
democratic party which is opposed to
that wing of which Mr.. Cleveland is
the most forcible and characteristic
exponent. Mr.. Bryan has gone down
his defeat in large measure at the
doors of the followers of Mr.. Cleve-
land. He knows that as long as that
gentleman has any sort of a following
he cannot have the united democratic
party behind him, and, with that the
case, his presidential aspirations will
be hopeless. He says 1--WE have had
enough of Clevelandism in the demo
cratic party" He wants Cleveland
and Cleveland's friends to leave the
democratic party. He wants the
organization to be purged of every
faint of Clevelandism. He does not
want even a suggestion in the demo-
. cratic party of the policies represent
ed by the Princtonian and held to by
the large, influential class behind the
ex-president. Very likely there is a
large number of voters who do not
feel as Mr.. Bryan does on the subject
and prefer to be out of the democratic
party to supporting him. In any
event the sound and conservative ele-
ment in the nation is unalterably op-
posed to Mr.. Bryan being elected
President of the United States and
thereby given an opportunity to foist
on this country his dangerous and
destroying ideas. This is the fault
of Mr.. Bryan but still he is very
anxious to find some one to blame
for his failure and he points the fin
ger of scorn at Mr.. Cleveland.
While he is raining these heavy
blows on Growers devoted head Mr..
Watterson is also shooting fiery darts
at him with an idea of everlastingly
blasting his good name and reputa-
ton. They both seem to be so intent

A WARNING
Sent Out BY the State horticultural De-
partment.

Sent Out BY the State horticultural De
partment.
Several cases have occurred recently
where fruit growers have taken the
advice of unknown or irresponsible
agents to destroy their orchards in
tested with San Jose scale or other in
sects or diseases, the agent thus secur-
ing a 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.
Local inspectors have been engaged
in various parts of Maryland to assist
the officers of the State Horticultural
Department in inspecting orchards
for San Jose scale, peach yellows, etc,
and they will be given certificates,
showing their identity. This certifi-
cate can be seen by any person whom
they visit. These inspectors are men
of experience in horticulture and are
familiar with our injurious insects
and diseases, and are responsible to
the State Horticultural Department
for their actions. They can give
necessary advice to growers on horti-
cultural subjects and may often assist
them in spraying or otherwise caring
for their trees. Further information
on this subject or anything relating
to horticultural work and injurious
insects of diseases may be obtained
by addressing the State Horticultural
Department. College Park, Md.

IRON TRADE STILL
 SHOWS CONTRASTS
THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS WILL NEVERTHELESS COMPARE FA- vORABLY WITH ORDINARY CON- DlTIoNS-coNTRACTS SMALL.

Cleveland September 10.-The Iron Trade Review this week says:
 The iron trade still presents strong con- trasts to the high pressure conditions of 1902, yet the volume of business will com pare favorably with what have been rated ordinary times.
 Resistance to pressure that would carry prices measurably below the present level is apparent in both pig iron and finished material, yet there is no positive develop ment to give assurance that the present level can be maintained. Contract buying is of such small proportions as to give little clue to the requirements of con- suming interests. The efforts of southern furnaces to secure a reduction of 50 cents in freight to the Ohio river were un- successful, the railroads answering that the time had not yet come for such concession. Similar freight reductions would have been asked from northern roads.
 At present central western furnaces are quoting under the $11.75 Birmingham basis lor No. 2 foundry, sales at Pittsburg be- liB IepOiltu at @lo'oo, WiiiNH 0Ohih sll at furnace for southern competitors This may have given rise to the reports of $l1 southern iron. No such sales can be traced however, though 5000 tons of southern iron has been bought in during the week by the leading agricultural ma chinery interests and 23O0 tons by an Ohio cast iron pipe foundry, on q basis equiv alent to $l1 .50 Birmingham Gray forge iron has declined further and Pittsburg sales are reported at s15. Purchasers of Bessemer iron by the United States Steel corporation for the fourth quarter are still delayed. Steel has been sold by in- dependent producers below the s27 Pitts burg basis established by the pool, and a meeting of the Steel Billet association is expected in the near future to consider prices.
