which they will visit the sugar fac

the trip. as the secretary is compelled 10
be in Chicago on Saturday morning
We should probably arrive at Alma at
10 o'clock in the forenoon Of Thursday,
Dec. 3D.
"The secretarydesires to meet as many
of the farmers as possible at that time,
and would give them a short talk on
sugar beet culture. He Is probably the
best posted man IN the United States on
the subject and can undoubtedly give
the farmers some valuable information.
He IL deeply interested in the sugar
question and IL anxious 10 render all the
assistance 10 the industry possible. /

would be where the secretary could
meet the farmers. II the weather is
good, he could undoubtedly speak 70
them in the open air aud probably from
the rear end % the train, but If the
weather should be bad il might be i'm
possible for him to do so. have thought
that it possibly might be arranged so
that he could talk 10 them in the beet
sheds or in some place like that /
think it could be easily arranged and
would be pleased 10 have you let me
know what the citizens and representa-
tives Of the sugar factory would think
about it, and at what place they would

NARROWLY ESCAPED BEING KILLED
New Haven Woman Had Leg Broken and
was Otherwise Injured While in
Alma Last Friday.

Mrs. George Lewis, Of New Haven
township, narrowly escaped with her
life last Friday and is very thankful
that she has nothing more than a broken
limb and q number of bruises about the
head and body as the result OF an acci-
dent to her at the Stockbridge Elevator
Co.'s elevator. In company with her
husband she was riding in a lumber
wagon being driven up onto the plat.
form at the elevator, when the horsts
became frightened and commenced
backing.
Mr.. Vliet, the manager. saw the dan
ger and attempted 10 block the wheels,
but they were on the incline and passed
over the blocks and in second the
wagon went over the side, dropping TO
the ground, q distance OF about ten feet,
dragging the horses along with IL.
Mr.. Lewis was thrown beyond danger
but his wife was caught in the wagon
seat and fell directly under cne OF the
horses where she was obliged To remain
for about five minutes before the animal
could be raised sufficiently to release
the suffering woman. She was carried
into the elevator Office and a physician
summoned who advised that she be taxi
en- at once TO Brainerd's hospital, which
was done. Her left leg was found TO be
fractured above the knee and she was
otherwise considerably bruised about
the BODY and head, but as she was not
injured internally no serious results are
anticipated, although IL seems almost
Incredible that she aid not meet almost
instant death.
The couple have not been married
long, their welded life dating from last
August. Mrs. Lewis was formerly Miss
Lille Gabrion and well known by many
here where she was employed IA "a do
mestic before her marriage. MIR. Lewis
escaped without mark OF any kind.
The horses were both considerably
injured t1t 90 10 &C. ious extent.

The Democratic party of Prince
Georges county has made no mistake in
its selection of the County Central Com
mittee, headed by Mr.. A. T. Robinson, of
Brandywine district, Notwithstanding
much adverse criticism in the last two
years in reference to it both by the peo-
pie and by the so called Democratic press
of Prince Georges county.
In reference, editorially, of one of
the Democratic papers, in its issue of
February 5th, criticism terming the
Central Committee as a clique, was in
serted; also February Goth, the Central
Committee of Prince Georges county
was referred to as an indefinite and sense
less thing. At the beginning of the pre-
sent campaign, the candidates selected at
the convention at Upper Marlboro plac-
ed themselves entirely in the hands of
the Central Committee, entrusted Mr..
Robinson with the funds and manage
ment of the entire campaign. The mag
nificent victory achieved shows the wis.
dom of that action, the cutting down OF
the great Republican majorities in Bowie
Queen Anne's and all the big Republican
districts. The carrying of Brandywine
and Nottingham by the Democrats q1ali
fies Mr.. Robinson for leadership and
worthy to be kept in harness. The
Democratic Party of Prince Georges
county will make no mistake in retaining
him at the helm. M. j. TIGHE.

MIR. j. D. Cassard Dead.

Mr.. j. D. Cassard, one of the best
known citizens of this county, died at his
home near Muirkirk last Friday aged
sixty four years. He was one of the
prominent business men of Baltimore,
and conducted a modern farm at Muir
kirk. He leaves three grown sons. He
was one of the charter members of the
Evansville Farmers Club, of this county
and a prominent Mason and granger.
The funeral took place at his residence
Sunday morning. The services were
conducted by Rev. G. I. LaRoche, rector
of St. Johns Church, Beltsville. The
pallbearers, all members of the Evansville
Farmers Club, were Messrs Luther Bra
shears, John Snowden, Charles H. Stan
ley, L. E. Burke, s. w. Beall, and DR..
Joseph r. Owens. The body was in
tered in the burying ground of St. Johns
Church. Birmingham Lodge, A. F. and
A. NJ, was in charge of the services. The
Masonic pallbearers were DR.. G. A. Fox,
John Ulle, L. o. Robey, F. B. Bambcr.
ger, Fillmore Beall and s. q. Mulloy. Dr.
81. B. Mcdonnell conducted the Masonic
services.

For certain uses and purposes the horse
is out of hate, although the equine will
always be a favorite to certain extent,
and those who claim otherwise 60 too far.
But the remarkable rise in popularity of
the automobile affords ample room for
serious consideration for those who wish
to be up to date, and who are looking for
an economical means of propulsion. The
Cadillac is the machine which has the
call o-day, and every day sees number
of notable additions to the mobile de-
voices who prefer it. 1t is so speedy, so
generally reliable, that people who have
heretofore fancied the auto only for dress
purposes are getting out of that idea.
And the price of $3.50 is nothing to think
of-not so long ago a machine of good
points cost at least $4,000. But the Cadillac
is within the reach of everyone. Those
who wish to become the owner of one of
these fine machine should write to- day to
the Mar-Del- Mobile Co., 1904 Union Trust
Bldg, Baltimore. Energetic men who
think they can sell one or more of those
autos should write and investigate the
opportunities for an agency in their
territory.
