BALTIMORE PRIrIARIES.

The Democratic organization
won out by a large majority in
the Baltimore city primaries
for the nomination of city Of
hcials last Tuesday, and there
is no doubt i'm the minds of a
vast majority of the voters of
Baltimore that Mr.. Robert NJ.
McLane. the successful candi-
date for Mayor, is the best man
named as "a candidate for the
nomination. He is young
man of ability and probity,
and his nomination is a rccog-
milton of the young men who
have long felt that they were
not receiving the consideration
at the hands of party leaders
to which they were entitled.
The Baltimore Herald, (Repub-
lican) says of Mr.. McLane:
Mr.. McLane. the Democratic
nominee for mayor. stands be-
fore the public in a fine light.
There is no more faint on his
nomination than on his char
acter. He won h S fight
handsomely from first to last.
Not an undignified word or i'm
patient phrase came from him.
He had made his own way by
right conduct and applied abili-
ty to an admirable position in
the community: his record in
the states attorneys office was
most excellent, and he added
to his strength as a candidate
by a course marked by the
strictest propriety and good
sense. So as leader of his
party in the mayoralty contest
he must command the favor of
all factions, as he will the re-
spect even of those who will
vote the Republican ticket. The
Democrats are doubtless de-
lighted with their experiment
of direct nomination, for it has
proven itself in this instance to
be altogether workable and ac-
ceptable.

Cypress.

Cypress i'll all ages. has been consid.
cred the indestructible wood, and as
such, used to cover and protect other
less durable woods. 1t is peculiar to
the South Atlantic and Gulf States.
Pocomoke river swamp, lying CHIEFLY in
Worcester county, Maryland, being as
far North as il seems to grow, and this
for more than a century, furnished the
principal supply of Cypress Shingles
for the Eastern Shore peninsula, trees
growing to enormous size and great
age, often thousand years or more.
This virgin growth of matured timber
has been practically worked up many
years ago, and supplies have been drawn
from the swamps of Virginia and North
Carolina, which are also being much
depleted, and now Florida furnishes the
principal supply of virgin growth Cy.
press. younger growth, not fully
matured. is being largely used, but is
of short last, compared with the old
yellow heart which now comes from
Florida. where it grows to its greatest
perfection.
1t is fact in nature that the durabil
ity of timber corresponds TO its age, or
the time it takes to grow and mature
Pine for illustration. from an old growth
fine grain matured tree. is much more
durable than from young tree and so
with Cypress and Cypress Shingles.
And no matter how much care You take
in the selection of your materials for
your building or how experienced or re-
liable your mechanics, if you use infer
Tor shingles you make great mistake.
The covering of building is the
most important part of the materials
in its construction. 1.-The weakest link
is the strength of the chain" and 1.-The
poorest shingles determine the last of
the roof" And il is poor economy to
run so great a risk of having lcaky
roof. to save such a trifling amount of
money. Act wisely and buy BEST
FLORIDA HEART SHINGLES. For
sale by all dealers generally.
