Micomico To Take Advantage OF
the New Road Law.

Unwilling to lose the advantages Offer
ed by the new State aid road law, the
residents of Wicomico county, at large
public meeting held in Salisbury rec
emily, decided to act at once in taking
the necessary measures to secure the
State appropriation of $4,000 allotted to
Wicomico county for the construction Of
highways built scientifically under State
supervision.
1t was pointed out at the meeting that
should Wicou,ico not take up her allot
ment Of $Io, 900 State funds for her road
work, the money will be divided among
other counties, and there was full deter
mination expressed not to allow the
money to leave the county. The whole
tenor of the meeting was another example
of the progressive spirit which the county
residents of Maryland have shown in the
matter of road building since the passage
of the new State law.
The meeting was called by the County
Commissioners, who wished an expires
sion of opinion from the residents as to
their willingness to stand their share OF
the expense of building State roads. In
asmuch as the law demands that the
county shall appropriate dollar for dollar
as much as the State fund gives in each
case, or in other words, pays one half
the cost, the Commissioners wished to
learn whether the County was willing TO
undergo this expense before any applica-
tions for Wicomico's share of the State
fund should be mad. Mr.. A. n. John
son. Highway Engineer Of the Marylanr
Geological Survey, explained at length
the features Of the new law, and quoted
estimates upon the cost of hrst-class
modern roads. such as could be made
under the existing circumstances.
In explaining the procedure necessary
TO secure State road, it was shown how
the residents may either first request the
County Commissioners to petition for the
State aid. or the County Commissioners
on their own initiative, may decide to
take up the allotment. The Highway
Engineer of the Maryland Geological
Survey surveys the road, gives estimates,
and the County builds the road by con-
tract under supervision of the Highway
Engineer. When complete, the State
pays oue-half the cost. In order for the
residents to petition for this aid, it is
necessary for the owners Of two-thirds OF
the propNty along the proposed road to
pledge themselves to pay ten per cent OF
the cost of the road but no residents who
do not so desire can be compelled to bear
any part OF this cost. The residents along
any road can compel the County Com
missioners to petition for the State aid up
TO one.fourth of the road levy of the par
ticular County.

1.-The Star" Wrinkles.

The Star, the luminary which wrinkles
in the North East armament, CONES to
the defence of the Trustees of Tome In
stitute in a three. column review of
Prof. Stevenson's "Study in Education
and Ethics" Bro Carey puts an erron-
eous construction on Prof. Stevenson's
views when he tries to make it appear
that the latter's desire was and is to have
the Institute a strictly commercial school.
While Prof. Stevenson strongly opposed
the hedging in and curtailing of his de-
partment so much as to make it almost a
nonenity in the curriculum. there is
nothing in his article to indicate that he
thinks the Institute should be converted
into Commercial and Correspondence
School," as interpreted by the Star.
Bro. Carey also thinks newspaper dis
cussion of affairs at Tome is harmful and
that the proper way to correct any abuses
which may or may not exist, is to follow
the course prescribed by the amended
charter and advises any one who thinks
affairs are not as they should be to take
the following course:
DEAR GovERNOR:-Afairs at Tome
are not being conducted as intended
by the Founder and in the best inter-
ests of the people OF Cecil county.
Please look into the matter
Yours truly,
CECIL. CoUNTIAN.
This course will free it from all polit-
ical entanglements and bIing instant
remedy-if remedy is neededt
Does Bro. Carey really think the peo-
pie of Cecil county are such novices in
politics?
The Stars peroration in defence of the
'.'classicists'' is dazzling in its brilliant
possibilities. The classical nation OF
Greece is Landed TO the skies and COM
mercial' countries held in disfavor. He
conveniently forgets to state that clas-
steal Greece is only memory and that
other countries which have builded on
firm "commercial' foundation, and at
no time since have undermined their
foundations, are the enduring nations Of
the earth.

chamberIain,s Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great
popularity of Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy. 1t not only cures colds and grip
effectually and permanently, but prevents
these diseases from resulting in pneu-
monia. 1t is also certain cure for Group.
Whooping cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance and
may be given as confidently to baby as
an adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken Into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands, as well as at
home, esteem this remedy very highly
and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used it. For sale

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked-In what
way are Chambe-laiu's Stomach and
Liver Tablets superior to the ordinary
cathartic and liver pill? Our answer is
They are easier and more pleasant to take
and their effect is so gentle and SO
agreeable that one hardly realizes that it
is produced by medicine. Then they
not only move the bowels but improve
the appetite and aid the digestion. For

SHOWER OF LEONIDES
SCHEDULED FOR NOV.

The November meteors, known as
LeonidS, because they seem to fall
from that part of the sky which is oc-
cupied by the constellation Leo, are
due between the 18th and 10th of the
present month. Their period is not
certainly aSertained, and no one can
say whether the display will be espe-
cially spectacular this year or not.
Sometimes it has equalled an exhibit
tion of fireworks. The brightness of
the moon is supposed to have paled
the shooting stars on some occasions.
This year the period in which the
LeonideS may be encountered is
moonIesS. There may be sight
worth sitting up for, if one is in
tereSted in the stars, and il the
weather is not cloudy milwaukee

measures which have originated in
Wisconsin, he said, will become
national issues, and the men who are
leading the fight will also become ma
tional figures. Every state in time,
he said, will take up these principles
of representative government. AL
