the candidacy of DR.. John s. Green, who has
been nominated by the Prohibition party for
Congress. As he is superintendent OF Chestnut
Grove Sunday school and president of the
Christian Endeavor Society his views on the
temperance question are well known. his
forceful addresses on the subject in the past

who possibly show their appreciation by
casting their votes for the Doctor next week.

fine progress and is rapidly growing in atten-
dance. The new teacher is popular with the
pupils and no doubt they will accomplish
much under her direction.

the teacher and pupils working harmoniously
together. 1t is a credit to the community in
which it is located.

Court of Appeals Decides in Favor of
Mr.. BoWen-A Case of Much Interest to
Farmers-The Court of Appeals has handed
down an opinion in the case of Charles Q.
Carmine against John w. Bowen, affirming
the order of Judge Burke giving to Mr.. Bowen
the crop of wheat sowed by him on the place
he rented from Mr.. Carmine in the Sd district.
The case is one of exceptional interest to
farmers and has attracted considerable atten-
ton. 1t involves the right of tenant to re-
turn after the expiration of his lease and reap
a crop of grain sown the fall before. Mr..
Bowen, who is q well known farmer, rented
Mr.. Carmines farm near Pikesville for term
of three years, which ended March LIST, 1904.
Mr.. Bowen sowed wheat and rye in the fall of
of 1903, which did not mature until after his
term had expired. Both the tenant and the
landlord claimed the crop. Mr.. Bowen, how
ever, secured preliminary injunction in the
Circuit Court at Towson and, under its protec-
tion harvested the grain.
The trial of the case lasted over year and
number of we'll known farmers throughout the
county testified, among whom were Messrs.
John 8. Cuttings, Charles T. Cockey, George
H. Merryman, Frank g. Scott, N. Ware Coe
John H. Fringer, B. John Black and John D.
Childs.
Judge Burke decided in the court below that
Mr.. Bowen was entitled to the crop under the
provisions of the written contract which re-
quired Mr.. Bowen to observe the proper rota-
ton of crops. ITO comply with this pro-
VISION, the court SalO, MT. bowen was au-
thorized and it may be said he was required to
SOW the crop of wheat and rye in controversy
in the fall of 1903. This stipulation, of itself,
in my opinion, amounts to a covenant that
Bowen should enter and reap this crop when
it ripened in the summer of 1904" Judge Burke
signed an order in accordance with his opinion
making perpetual the preliminary Injunction.
From this order Mr.. Carmine appealed.
The decision of the Court of Appeals, affirm
ing the order, finally disposes of the case. No
case in recent years has attracted as much
general attention in Baltimore county as the
question involved was new one and affected,
in large measure. the great body of tenant
farmers throughout the county.
Judge Frank I. Duncan was Mr.. Bowen's
attorney and conducted the greater portion of
the case in the court here. Judge Duncan
was unable to finish the case on account of his
elevation to the bench and Mr.. Bowen employ
ed Messrs. q. Howard Isaac and Ernest G.
Hatch to finish the testimony and argue the
case.
The case was argued the early part of October
before the Court of Appeals by Mr.. Jacob ].
H. Mitnick and Major John l. Yellott for Mr..
Carmine, and by Messrs. q. Howard Isaac and
Ernest c. Hatch for Mr.. Bowen. Col. D. G.
Mcintosh was also counsel for Mr.. Carmine
during the trial at Towson.
