This week issue of Harper's Weekly
has an article headed 1.-TWO of our Gen
erals in Cuba" which gives a laudatory
account of General William =. Duvall,
and also publishes his portrait. 1t says
that General Duvall was in the thick of
the guerilla fighting some 900 miles north
of Manila during 1900 and after three
months of hard work brought active
fighting to an end. He then began the
more difficult work of building up the
fabric of civil government. After being
assured of the success of his work, he re-
turned to San Francisco and afterwards
was in command of the Department OF
the Gulf General Duvall is a native OF
this county and received his place in West
Point when the late Colonel Edwin H.
Webster was in Congress. His brother,
Captain r. Emmett Duvall is resident
of near Watervale.

MRS. MARY N. DEAN.
A Dangerous Piece Of Road.

DARLINGTON, Oct. %
To The .Egis:
wish to call the attention of our coun-
ty commissioners to the great danger Of
the travelling public and the liability of
said commissioners representing the
county for heavy damages in neglecting
to have a post and rail fence or some
protection on the public road from
Wilson'S Mill, or the bridge crossing near
Deer Creek to the mill dam on said road.
The Act of Assembly permitting auto
mobiles to travel the public highways
very much endangers those who use
wheel vehicles drawn by horse power.
Many horses are terribly afraid of auto
mobiles, mine among the number, and
have already had shaft broken off by
my horse in meeting one. Had this acct
dent occurred at the point to which l call
| the attention of the commissioners there
! is no doubt but what |, with the horse
and buggy would have gone into the
creek, and we can only conjecture the re-
suit.
A post and rail fence would be a great
protection; this road being the main
thoroughfare for automobiles between
Baltimore and Philadelphia and user
of the road is liable to meet one at any
time or place. have frequently called
the attention of former commissioners tc
the danger of passing at this point, but
none have taken warning, and fear the !
will not until they are confronted will
heavy damage suit far exceeding tn,
cost of fence. and at the same time i'm
periling valuable lives.
hope that this Honorable Board will
act at once and have the necessary pro
lection erected for the benefit of TIN
travelling public. ]. r. Ely.

THE TWO CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

The Congressional campaign in this
district is being fought out on positive
lines. Congressman Talbot, in his
speech of acceptance, defined the issue to
be a revision of the tariff, and pledged
himself, if reelected, to use all possible
means to accomplish this end. On the
other hand, Mr.. Garrett has chosen the
issue of anti Talbottism, and seems to
be making campaign entirely on these
lines, to the exclusion of any matter OF
national interest
The stand of Mr. Talbot is good,
safe, conservative one, and every time
that the national Democratic party has
made fight for lower tariff, it has been
successful. This is proof positive that
our candidate is on the right lines, and
we believe that the people of this district
will show their approval of his course by
giving him the greatest majority that he
has ever received.
On the other hand, Mr.. Garrett has
chosen the rather undignifed part of at
tempting to make personal campaign.
He and his followers have been mud sling
ing, if we may use such term, and the
Democratic candidate has been their con-
slant target. The universal experience
has been that whenever such methods
are employed the people will rcbuke them
in a manner that cannot be mistaken, as
there is no campaign so despicable to the
majority of the voters.
There has also been persistent effort
to mix Mr.. Talbott's name up In every
unsavory happening In Baltimore county,
from the escape of the negro murderer,
Winder, to the smallest bucketshQp in
Canton. Voters have no patience with
any such small politics, and we think
that Mr.. Garrett would have done him.
self and his party far more credit had he
conducted digni6ed campaign on self
respecting grounds.
