DCStH hnVhlt9VhtSSs
So far have some of the counties OF
Maryland progressed in the effort to obtain
State roads under the provisions of the
State aid road law, that the return Of
another autumn will witness number Of
new macadam roads in the State, built
upon scientific lines. Surveys for seven
pieces of road in Allegany County and for
two pieces in Hartford County have been
completed under the supervision of the
Highway Division of the Maryland Geo.
logical Survey; and the surveying of four
miles of road in Washington County, from
Clearspring to Conococheague River.

at the earliest possible date by the surveys
of three important roads in Prince George
County.

Wherever this is not done, one half the
cost of the .surveys. specifications and
estimates must be paid by the counties
themselves.
the State road to be constructed at Pyles-
vile and for the Darlington road. Ale
gany County requested the surveying OF
five miles of road. and it is the deter
mination of the Board of Road Directors
to take up the county's full allotment ol
S8,o67. SO of the State road fund. Surveys
have been completed for this work.
The work soon to be started in Prince
George County will put that section well
to the front among the progressive
participants in the road movement.
Since the large meeting at Parsons
Opera House, Salisbury, called by the
( Wicomico County Commissioners, on the
27th of last September, to consider the
question of Wicomico County taking up
its $Io,oo share of the State road fund,
three petitions, providing for one mile
each of highway have been filed to secure
portions of this fund.
Caroline and Dorchester Counties now
also come to the front in their determine
tion to give the road question thorough
consideration. As the best means Of
efecting this, large public meetings ofthe
county residents will be held in Cam.
bridge and Denton in the next two weeks
where the County Commissioners will be
present and full discussion upon the

DEATH OF PRESIDENT OF
The Edgefield Manufacturing
Company.

When it was reported that Mr.
C.J. Burton had decided to leavf
Edgefeld everybody wondered wiz {
would succeed him. Finally il
was announced that Mr.. j. SPrice
of New YORK, had accepted thf
presidency of the oil and cotton
mills. Aud from the first day Of
his administration it became evi.
dent that wise ST lection had beel
made, for not only was Mr. Price
a manufacturer of vast experience
but be possessed rare degree OF
business acumen. Besides being
able 10 reach within the twinkling
of an eye a definite decision or
conclusion in this or that business
matter, he was endowed with al
unusual degree of executive ability
which enabled him to do things
and have things done.
Despite his physical infirmitiee,
during his comparatively short ad-
ministration be transformed the
old oil mill into new one, repair
ing the exterior and discarding old
machinery and installing new
wherever practicable. 1t was Mr..
Price who planned and erected the
refinery which has greatly en-
hanced the value of the oil mill
property.
MOI only did Mr.. Price improve
the plants in material way bat
from the outset he won the COZ fl
dence aid esteem of the officials,
sub-officials and operatives by his
uniform kindness and considera-
ton for lhem. He also made
friends rapidly among he citiz:ns
of our town. Is there any wonder
then that everybody became so!i-
citous collie months ago over his
pE ysical decline which after
lingering ILLNESS resulted in his
death on Friday morning last.
The very best medical skill a tend
ed him and loved ones administer
ed unto him but no earthly power
could stay the icy hands of Death.
The deceased was born and rear
ed in Charleston, bat began his
business career in the oil mill
business i'll Columbia, later going
TO Raleigh where he married.
Texas being an inviting field he
went to Houston, where he erected
the largest oil mill iii the world
and resided for many years. Fin

York, from which place he came

Several car loads of guano for

the cold disagreeable weather there
has been constant stream of

Lumber and brick have been

The teachers meeting was held

The New Century Club met at

the historians of the day. Mra.
Fred Parker gave US some
sweet music. and delightful re-
freshments served by our charm

Town Improvement is still under
discussion. Special attention is
called to The back yards which are
generally unsightly places. One
of the neatest yards within our
knowledge is that of Mrs. w. T.
Walton. The Martha grape grow
ing over the back porch is exquis-
itely lovely, and serves the three
fold purpose of being restful for
the eye, delicious to the taste, and
a screen from the SUI. A cluster
of Althea bushes, trimmed fiat Old
top forms a compact growth that
is used for. suning beds or spread
ing anything to dry, besides being
useful is quite ornamental.
Surfowers grow any where, and
