The New Line Makes Good Showing.
The Belair Agis of last week said that Mr..
J. Alexis Shriver, general manager of the
Baltimore and Belair Electric Railway, has
issued statement showing the receipts and
disbursements of the company during the fiscal
year, which ended October 10Th last. The
receipts in that time were S8,460.56 The
operating expenses were $5,3l7.42, leaving
a net balance of 3,143.14. Only one month
in the year were the expenses more than
the receipts and that was in February during
the blizzard. During the fiscal year the re-
ceipts from carrying Government mail ran
the net earnings up to S3422.27, or over
$1,000 mile. Should the line be completed to
BeIair this ratio of showing would yield good
dividends on the capital required to finish the
work. During the time that the automobile
was run between Fork and Carney the receipts
were of very encouraging nature, although
the line could not be maintained because the
machine was not sufficiently substantial to
stand the wear and tear of the turnpike. The
completion of this electric road would mean
much to Belair, and its citizens will welcome
the time when it is a reality.

Jacksonville and Sunny 10th Dis
trict.-The revival meeting which was in pro-
gress at Fairview Church was successful, fifteen
persons having been converted. 1t was a sol
emn scene at the service last Sunday afternoon
when these persons gathered in front of the
altar at that church to testify that they had
given up the world and its allurements and
witnessed for Christ. The pastor, Rev. j. r.
Jacobs, feels very grateful to know that so
many souls have been won for Christ, and that
his efforts, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Richardson, of
High Point, have not been in vain. Those
who attended these meetings were deeply i'm
pressed, while those who remained away have
something to regret.
There will be no work in connection with
the entertainment to be held in Sweet Air Hall
on the evening of Friday, November 10th, by
the ladies of Chestnut Grove Church, but brain
work and there will be much of that applied
to make the affair success, which it is GER
tain to be.

Sixth District.-Outside OF the newspapers
mum is the word' on politics here. [ have
been voter in Baltimore county for fifty
years, off and on as l lived in the county, and
/ do not remember the Office seeking the man
but very few times. There always was some
body wearing the ''old white hat that made
the ticket. Long before that l. had to vote or
stay at home and raise beans.
What is the use of we voters making all this
to do about the Poe amendment? If this is not
a government of the people, by the people and
for the people why call it free country?
The Haman Oyster bill is of far more benefit
to we farmers. If by making good roads can
haul twice as much lime with my team it
would be better than going through this red
tape of making three-sixteenths of an inch
square without wetting lead pencil and other
furbelows for somebody to put their hands in
the county treasury.

hogs, large crops and fat steers raised by a

Convention, 18th Distrlct.-I feel it my
duty to say something about the public road
here at Convention and the manner in which
work has been done on it. 1t is an outrage
upon the taxpayers of the district the way
mohey has been wasted on our roads. The
Philadelphia road and the Convention road
were not in bad condition and did not need
any special work, but only some little patch
ing up here and there. But instead of doing
this at a trifiing cost the road men came along
with atwo-horse pillow and plowed great burrows
on both sides of the road. Then they put the
dirt scoop to work and dragged the loose earth
into the middle of the driveway. Then the
rains came and such condition of affairs was
the result that the teams of market men are
almost unable to pull their wagons through it,
the drivers being obliged to walk. 1t is as
much as some people can do to get out OF their
front gates. Before this alleged improvement
was made we had good road that man
could trot his horse over; now he is lucky if
he gets through in walk. The Towson au-
thorities should come down here and take
look at the condition of affairs. Perhaps then
a suffering people could get some relief.
Every year, about two weeks before election,
these same men go out on the roads to work
and pretty mess they make of things. But
no matter how bad the job they get the money
Just the sane and the taxpayers foot the bills
and then-whistle. | say again that 1t is an
outrage on the people that such condition OF
affairs is allowed to continue.

"The Red Days."-The following extracts
are copied from a delightful article entitled
'The Red Days" from the pen Of 3. T. Powell,
published in The Independent of October 18th
\ "The only sorry thing about these
crimson days is that they are growing short
err 1t is curious how the loss of single min
ute on each day soon narrows OH the hours.
The sun does not rise until after six O'Clock,
but it is redder when it does rise. If we could
only have more morning in Autumn it would
be finer than Summer. Say what you will
about the charm of an evening around the
fireplace, even electric glow is poor substitute
for sunlight Give me the morning always,
when the whole body and soul is refreshed by
sleep, in preference to any other part OF the
day. Have you watched the October sun rise?
Never in q hurry, but with good deal of de-
liberation and generally its rays come through
air that is dense enough to soften them into
red Such sunshine has a mild tint ofcrimson.
''It is curious how many people can see the
processes of the year. open as they are to ex-
animation, and yet see them wrongly. Most
people tell me that the frost turns things red,
and that it ripens the nuts. 1t does nothing OF
the sort. 1t colors things brown or black, ana
sharply puts an end to the crimson and the
scarlet This turning red is life process. 1t
involves chemical change that is physiologi-
cal; and those rays are absorbed which have
been most abundant, leaving only the red to be
reffacted. A severe freeze will loosen the
leaves from the trees and distribute them over
the grass. IL is the ADVANCE courier Vi Wlntef,

>Forty-four names appear on the official
ballot this year, which makes a longer ticket
than usual. The party designations after each
name make it an easy ticket to vote for those
who can read, but for illiterates it will prove
knotty problem and one that they will find it
difficult to work out. Anyone who wishes to
vote against the Poe constitutional amendment
can do so by placing a cross mark in the very

-The Towson hoodlums were out in force
on Tuesday night, taking advantage of the

No one objects to the innocent amusementS
incident to such a season, but when it comes
to holding up ladies on the streets and actually
laying hands on them, and the wanton des-
truction of property, then something should
be done. Such behavior in Baltimore would
land the perpetrators in the station house.
1.-The field trials of the American Beagle
Club, which took place in Green Spring Valley

it. The meet was great success, many OF the
finest besgles in the country being in the trials.
To Mr.. T. Dudley Riggs, who is a member of
the club, is due the credit for securing the meet
for this county. He is himself an enthusiastic
breeder of beagles.

work of running street cars in and about Balti-

He is 60 years of age. nearly six feet tall and
weighs It's pounds. During his long years of
service be never had but one serious accident
and it was shown that he was not to blame for
that.
