Delegates from five farmers clubs held
meeting at the Sandy Spring Lyceum

A Few P 1srnRs
LIGHTNING Rops.

THUNDER Storms and discharges OF
l. lightning can not be prevented. but
that all danger therefrom may be averted,
by the proper use of lightning rods, is q
we'll attestcd truth of science.
Before the discovery of the lightning
rod, there are many instances on record
of churches, towers, monuments, public
buildings and ships in this country and in
Europe. that were frequently struck and
damaged by lightning, but since they have
been protected by lightning rods, have
entirely escaped injury.
In the present enlightened age the
value of the lightning rod as protection
against lightning is we'll understood.
The efficiency of lightning rods to pro-
tect the structures to which they have
been attached has been demonstrated by
their use for nearly one hundred and
fifty years. The NEST eminent scientific
men all give positive testimony in favor
of the use of lightning roGs.
We handle nothing but the best rod,
made of star steel, German smelter and
zinc, combination that never rusts and
Away stays bright. 1t is three quarters

lings, and We guarantee all our work un-
der five hundred dollar policy against
lightning. We also insulate all our work.

skilled workmen.

A Famous Phrase.
(Rnston Herald.l

In recent address before the Illi-
nois Historical Society, Charles b. Carr
considered Lincoln's memorable two
minute address at Gettysburg, and
pointed out that the familiar words
contained in the address-''a Govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people"-were not original with
Lincoln. 1t is recalled that there was
considerable comment at the time OF
his using them. which went so FAR that
1t was insinuated that he was guilty OF
wiIful plagiarism. The matter was
thoroughly Investigated by Lamon.
Nicolay and others, and it was found
that the phrase had been so often used
as to become common property 1t ap-
pears substantially as Lincoln used it
in Webster's reply to Hayne. 1t was
used by Theodore Parker in an anti
slavery convention at Boston in 1850,
and by Joel Parker in the Massachu-
setts Constitutional Convention in 1853.
The first appearance of this phrase, SO
far as it has been possible to ascertain.

Bible, which declares that this Bible
is for the government of the people, by
