- People who travel on what is known as
the Cowen road, in lower Long Green Valley,
greatly lament seeing it go back rapidly to
what it was before the late John X. Cowen

in repair it would have been good for many
years to come.

- THE UNION had four complaints last
Monday from subscribers on R. F. d. routes
because their papers were often delivered on
Monday instead of on Saturday. These fail
ures are always due to the postal people and we
are doing the best we can to get matters i'm
proved. Before this system went into opera
ton we did not have one complaint where we
have five now.
THE board of managers of the Baltimore
| County Agricultural Society held a meeting
| last Saturday at the home of Mr.. e. Cuttings
Merryman. near Cockeysville, Mr.. Merryman
| having sufficiently recovered his health to be
| able to meet with his fellow-members. After
| disposing of some important business dinner
was served. President Mccormick presided
and all the members were present except one.
| Several members ofthe Baltimore county
| delegation in the Legislature held conference
last Saturday with Mayor Timanus relative to
necessary legislation in regard to the proposed
| increase of water supply from the Gunpowder.
When this scheme is carried into execution it
| will materially effect the taxable basis of this
| county and this and other matters of impOr-
lance in that connection our lawmakers must
| look after.
| - Baltimore city estimates that it will cost
81, 600 600 to increase its water supply from the
! Gunpowder. By the time it buys up all the
villages, FARMS mills, dwellings, bridges, etc.,
which will be included in the scheme, that
| four millions will look worse than 80 cents.
| Then where is all the large sum to come from
that will be necessary to carry out the stupen-
dous work !? Perhaps 100000 would come
nearer to it.
Will Judge Van Bibber Resign P-The
| Beair Times of last week published the follow
| ing: "ClOse personal and political friends of
Judge George L. Van Bibber have been con-
cerned recently by rumor that be contem-
plated resigning from the bench. The Judge
was elected to the honorable Office which he
occupies in 1908 in a manner highly compli-
mentary to him, for the Republicans, in rec
ognition of his eminent fitness for the judicial
office, made no nomination against him. Since
his elevation to the bench Judge Van Bibber
has met the highest expectations of his friends
and has not only discharged the duties of the
office with marked ability, but has done some
thing of far greater importance; he has set up

duct of the Office that has made its impress on
the people of the whole county. He is, there
fore, held in high esteem by all the people.
What, then, can be his reasons for contempla-
ting resigniDg? If a man counts the warm APP
probation Of bis fellows as something of great
value, Judge Van Bibber certainly has that.
There are two explanations. Judge Van Bib
Der gave up large and lucrative practice to go
! on the bench. His income was much larger
than the salary he receives as judge, and his
earning capacity, because Of his leading posi-
ton at the bar, still increasing. 1t is believed
that the judge was willing to make the sacrifice
of earning less for the twelve years he had to
serve until he reached the age of 20 years, be-
cause he would not then be compelled to re-
