TRENToN's GROWTH UNDER
THE ADAMS LAW REGIME

NEWTON, Tenn, Feb. 5.-Trenton
has taken no backward steps since the
enactment of the Adams law, but pro-
gress has been noted on every side.
Several large new business firms have
started, residences have been going
up. the population has increased and
the price of real estate in the city has
largely increased. That temperance
has done much for the county is evil
denced by the short terms OF the Cir
cult Court and the diminution Of crime.
The last term Of the Circuit Court
held here just before Christmas, which
generally lasted over a month, was
little over week in session. and
then there was hut little done. II

SHELLMAN COMING HERE TUESDAY
Americas to Have Chance to Redeem
Fortunes.

While still bleeding to some extent
from the knockout-blows given them a
day or two ago by the Shellman swing
ers, sluggers and sliders, the Americas
Waterloovians hope to retrieve their
lost prestige when Shellman come
here Tuesday.
This is the plan at present, and a
great game it will be.
The Americas boys played good bali
Tuesday at Shellman, using only local
men, and were simply overmatchad in
going up against a phalanx OF veterans.
Shellman, it is said, went outside of
the steckade and gathered picked play
ers from Eufaula, Dawson and other
towns, including one star who play
ed with the Americas Cellarites last
season as an alleged professional"
1t was this kind of com bine the In
nocents struck at ShelIman, hence their
defeat. But they are prepared to even
up the score here next Tuesday when
Shellman comes.

Governor Smith Will Keep Open
House for Them.

Among other plans with which Gov
elect Hoke Smith is credited is that of
keeping open house at the executive
mansion during the sessions of the
Legislature. A friend who stands
close to the Governor elect is authority
for the statement that Mr.. Smith pro-
poses to keep an orchestra at the
mansion five evenings during the week
while the Legislature is in session and
to invite the members of the General
Assembly to come there freely. 1t is
also stated that swallow tail coats will

polls, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he en-.
dured during this time is beyond COM

of that liniment relieved the pain and
made sleep possible, and less than one

tica or rheumatism why not try 25c
bottle of Pain Balm and see for your
self how quickly it relieves the pain.

COUNTY OYSTERMEN.
They Will Hold a Meeting And discuss New
Culture Law.

4 meeting of oystermen of Annapo-
lis and Eastport has been called for
next Tuesday night at the Firemen's
Hall, Eastport, TO consider and take
action upon matters connected with
the oyster culture law.
Mr.. Walter Clark, an oyster packer,
is leader in the movement. The local
oystermen intend 10 look into the
boundary lines as set of by the She'll
fish Commission and avail themselves
of their right of appeal, If they believe
it necessary. Tho local oystormen
are also much exercised over the pro-
vision of the law which allows the
taking of oysters between April 10 and
May 10, upon bottoms designated by
the Commission for the purpose OF
planting them upon the bottoms where
oysters are TO be cultivated.
The Anne Arundel county oystermen
fear that, inasmuch as the waters con
tiguous TO Anne Arundel county are
the only ones surveyed, that n SUM-
cient amount of natrual bars may be
thrown open in this way to seriously
injure IN m. However, the law does
not prescribe that the bottoms desig-
mated must be thus surveyed, but the
Commission may designate bottoms in
any water of the bay or tributaries.

THE FlRENEN'S APPROPRIATION.
Written For Tue Evening Capital BY The
West Annapolis Bard.

Six hundred good simoleonS.
The wisdom of the State,
To benefit the firem u,
Did sure appropriatr.
But when the city fathers
Got their hands upon tho dough,
IL had so much attraction
That they couldn't let il 20.
SO they said they'd give each ffty,
As that's all they had before.
And were all 50 very thrifty
We cant give YOU any more.
When the iiremen protested
And began 10 rear and rant,
The Council said ''lou n waste IL,
For you're SO eNtravagaut. :
Now when they want improvements
And the city "Hain't the means,
Each member Of the companies,
Must dig down in his jeans.
But when called ,ut at midnight,
From their snug and coy b d,
They make haste 10 check the Demon
In his midnight burnings red.
Yet our gallant fire laddies
(Please excuse the platitudel
Are SO versed in worldly wisdom,
They don't look for graft ude.
Now, if the City Council
Wants 10 do the thing up proper,
They'll divide among the companies
And not withhold a copper.

BEGINNING or The HOLY SEASON.
Tomorrow Ushers In The FOrty.Day Period
of SeIf.Denial And Sacrifice.

Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, in the
Church Calendar, ushers in the Holy
seson of Lent, that ty-day period of
self-denial and sacrifice that foreruns
the glorious festival of Easter. To
those who willingly and anxiously
enter upon the self-imposed an church
sanctioned tasks which this season en-
tails; whose hearts and minds are in
accord with the true Significance Of
Lent, the forty days will be fraught
with inward spiritual blessings.
But to him who fails to grasp the
spirit of ii all VINO conforms only
the outward observances when his
heart is not there; to him Lent is but
sham; something that is enforced
and not willingly accepted. Self-de-
nial, self-abnegation and self-disci-
pline are commendable at all times,
and the mere exercise of such prac-
tices for only a stated period, at the
end of which self-indulgence is al
lowe to run riot, is of no value to
any one nor is the latter habit-one
too often indulged-in any manner a
r .asonable argument against obseTv-
ing the fast.
If tho true inwardness of Lent is
rightly comprehended and justly APP
preciated 1t is found to be period
of opportunity for thorough exami-
nation of self, for the conqueriDg of
wrong habits, bad impulses, uncharit-
able judgmt nts and worldly appetites
md indulgences, and for a snew and
stronger determination to use every
means that will aid one in leading
mot now and again, but constantly,
/ a better nobler daily life. No church,
no power divine or human, seeks 10
exact impossible things from weak
mortal creatures; but on the other
hand, realizing their frailties, the
One Divine does most undoubtedly y
point out the way TO a higher plane
of living and does demand of each
| and everyone that he do his best
that he try.
Lent is the one time above all
others set apart for making the prep
aration, and happy at Easter that one
who shall have kept it in spirit and
| in deed.
