settled as a squatter, with Charles z.
Holbrook and Ben Mast, on the spot
where he died. In 1858 we find him
digging bitches from Cottonwood
Slough and improving his holdings,
and in 1860, l believe we find him the
sole owner of the property he first
attempted to improve, having bought
out his partners. From that day to
the day he died we find that his con-
slant endeavor and labor has been

THE GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT.
Wicomico County Takes Advantage
OF State Aid Fund.

At a large meeting i'll Salisbury on
September 27th, called by the Commits
sioners of Wicomico county, to consider
the advisability of the county availing
itself of its $40, 900 share of the State road
fund, it was decided that November 18th
be assigned as the date by which all petit
tons for such aid should be officially filed
with the Commissioners. Whether the
Commissioners should decide that the
county would be justified in appropriat-
ing similar sum, as is necessary under
the law, and therefore justify the Com
missioners in applying for the State aid
was to be determined by the applications
OF interested taxpayers of the county. As
the result of this arrangement. the County
Commissioners found when they took up
the matter on November 18Th that eight
petitions from different parts of the coun-
ty had been filed, and ii is only from lack
of the appropriation that but four of these
can be taken up by the Commissioners,
In spite of The fact that the petitioners
must give bonds for ten per cent of the
cost of building the roads. not only was
the whole appropriation asked for bui

twice the amount of appropriation. and
the roads not included this year viii be
petitioned for next.
1t was decided to begin the work Of
building good roads in Wicomico county
by constructing four miles of road RAD
iatiag from Salisbury in four directions
north, south, east and west. The Coui
missioners ordered that the bonds mus
be filed by the petitioners by Nov. 22nd

WASHINGTON LETTER.

In turning off business and "doing
things" the President is certainly a
hustler During the last week in giving
evidences of strenuosity he has accepted
with thanks the bronze statue of Frederick
the Great from Germany and three car
loads of wild animals from Abyssinia,
made three carefully prepared and effect
i've speeches, collated and coordinated
much information from his Cabinet, and
moulded the last half of his message into
shape and read the proof of the whole Of
it, received half dozen foreign ministers,
talked with forty Senators and Congress
men, pardoned seven convicts. ridden ten
miles and walked fourteen, ofsetting the
exercise by eating heavy Thanksgiving
dinner, with "a pound turkey in the
middle Off, said another fervent good bye
to Parson Wagner, shaken hands with a
thousand strangers, appointed several
hundred to office, and dismissed half a
dozen, and Friday morning before day
light he jumped on fast flyer for St.
Louis where he inspected the Fair for two
days, made several speeches and was back
here by Tuesday When it is remembered
that besides atten ling to these trifes he
transacted the usual routine business and
swept the desks of the White House of all
accumulated correspondence, the Ameri-
can people will see that their not very OBJ
seqnious servant in the White House is a
person of industrious habits.
~
Though the last session of the 5Sth
Congress will not open until noon next
Monday, there has been unusual activity
on the part of Senators and Representa-
,ives already on the ground and there are
so many matters Of consequence to dispose
of before March 4th that there is less in
clinStion than usual to jump the Christ
mas cycle and reassembe only after the
midwinter holidays. If the mania for
work manifested by those already on the
ground is shared by those yet to come, it
is possible that sop to the indolent will be
entirely withheld and that Cannon will
keep the old gavel flying without inter-
ruption in the determination to "do
things" Ifthe two weeks of Christmas
holidays should be wasted as usual, there
will be only seventy working days left
between December 5th and noon of March
4th. Appropriation bills must be passed,
whatever the economical frenzy may be,
aggregating nearly or quite 500, ooo, ooo
They will probably be enacted with con-
siderable promptness on the ground that
the American people have affirmed that
they like large expenditures. and the
feeble minority will have little heart for
and dilatory tactics. With a
majority of II6 in the House, the Repub-
lican party can do as it pleases, especially
as it will. have much larger majority in
the next House, where there will be only
I "a Democrats, IoS of whom will come
from the old "Solid South.''

that "capitaf' meant the trusts. AS
long as the trusts and combines can
keep up the price of what they pro-
duce, they will still have measure Of
prosperity, but with falling wages
and men out of work, even the trusts
will suffer, for the capacity of the
people to consume is measured by
the amount of money they earn. In
curtailing expenses, luxuries and then
clothes are the first items cut off
and the present depressed condition
of the textile market tells the tale. In
the Journal of Commerce, May II, the
headlines Of that article on the dry
goods trade says:
Buyers Still Cautious" mot Dis
posed to Commit Themselves to Lib
eral Purchases" "a Waiting Period
on all General Belief That
Were Prices to be Announced on
Lower Basis Buying Would be Suf-
ficient to Cause Speedy Reaction

To-Day" The same newspaper on the
same day published dispatch from
Fall River Mass, which says: '"The
plan of running the mills four days a
week which has been tried for the
past five weeks has proved disap-
pointing. Some of the agents at least
strongly favored a reduction in
wages, even though it was pretty
we'll understood that a general strike
would follow c11rh a move Other
manufacturers favor a shutdown with
out q reduction. There is general ap-
prehension over the situation" A
number Of other dispatches in the
same issue of the Journal Of Com
merce indicate similar conditions at
other places. Resolutions by Repub-
lican conventions, that prosperity
reigns supreme, and the protective
tariff is the cause of it is mere bluff,
when the facts show that business is
depressed and growing more so.

Another Scandal Exposed.

There would appear to be a most
abOminable scandal in the Navy de-
partment brought to light through the
bursting of two eight-inch guns of the
Iowa. The Naval board of investiga-
ton reports that: "When the forging
of the guns were being machined at
the gun factory defects developed, the
defects being described as numerous
small breaks in the continuity of the
metal and also minute sand and Stag
spots. The forgings were thereupon
rejected by the factory" So far well
and good, but the manufacturing COM
pany evidently had great influence
with the officials, for it protested and
another board examined the forgings
and again rejected them. But on fur
Their protest of the manufacturers still
another board was ordered and it
found that "the defects that are re-
ferred to as existing are common to
all in a larger or smaller degree, but
neither the sand or Stag spots or
breaks are serious enough in the pres
ent stage to cause us to recommend
their rejection. The bureau of ord
nance, it is shown, approved and rec
commended acceptance of the fOrgings
with a ten per cent. reduction, the
department approving but ordering ac-
ceptance at contract price"

ed from the price if the forgings were
sound and fit for the important part
they were to perform? If the forgings
were weak and unsound they should
have most certainly been rejected by
the bureau of ordnance. Not only the
lives of the sailors were jeopardized
by the bursting of the guns, but if that
had happened in battle the safety OF
the country might have been at stake.
The whole matter looks bad for some
one high in authority, for the POSSIBLE
tiles of grating by ordering the &C
ceptance of worthless material throws
suspicion on the last board who exam
ined the forgings and upon whoever
appointed it. The disgraceful scandal
certainly requires a thorough investi-
cation, and President Roosevelt, If
not too much occupied with politics,
should order it and see that no guilty
man escapes.
