Drowned While On A Vacation.


DR.. David M. Biggs, aged 81 years, s2l
West Hoffman street, was drowned We'd
nesday, August 18th, while out sailing in
Smiths Creek, St. >Mary's county. The
body was recovered several hours after
ward by Mr.. Frederick Dunbar, proprie-
tor of Hotel Dunbar, and was brought to
Baltimore on the steamer Anne Arundel.
DR.. Biggs, who was prominent in the
dental profession, left the city August
10th, for vacation in St. Mary's county.
On Wednesday morning he was member
of party that was grabbing on Mller's
wharf, in the creek. While there he and
Miss Mary d. Townsley, a niece of his,
who lives with her aunt on John street,
went out sailing ON the creek. There
was light breeze blowing, and when
they had been out about 20 minutes the
tiller became dislodged from the rudder-
head and fell overheard.
DR.. Biggs reached for the tiller, and in
SO doing lost his balance end fell over
board. He was known to be good
swimmer, and, as the boat was doing but
little more than drifting, there was no
great amount of alarm on the part of the
party who saw him fall into the water
from their position on the wharf. Sud-
denly, however, the Doctor was stricken
with cramps and sank. Miss Townsley,
while she had no knowledge of sailing a
boat, had the presence of mind to unfast-
en- the halliards and let the sail run down.
This permitted the craft to drift back
towards the point where the Doctor had
fallen overheard.
At the same time Mr.. Dunbar, who
saw the accident, jumped into a rowboat
and pulled hard for the spot where the
Doctor was drowning. By the time the
rowboat had reached the place the sail
boat had also drifted back to that point,
but no trace was to be found of the man.
Miss Townsley, who was by this time
nearly frantic from the shock, was Their
taken ashore by Mr.. Dunbar.
| The work of recovering the body was
then begun, but it was not until some.
time in the afternoon that it was brought
to the surface by the means of boat

A special meeting of the stockholders
of the Washington, Frederick and Get
tysburg Railway Company was held in
this city on Saturday. 1t was very fully
attended, mere than a majority of the
stock outstanding being represented and
voted.
1t was called for the purpose of amend
ing the bylaws and for approving of
financial plans of the company. The by
laws as heretofore adopted were rescind-
ed and annulled and an entire new set
adopted A resolution was passed au-
thorizing the directors to make such finan-
cial arrangements for procuring such
funds to build and equip the road as will
be necessary, giving them full and ample
power to make the best arrangements
possible for the benefit of the road.
Mr.. G. Mantz Besant offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, By the stockholders of the
W., F. & G. Ry. Co., in special meeting
duly convened this 18th day of August,
1907, That they hereby express their
grateful appreciation of the fidelity, zeal
and ability with which the officers of said
company have acted, voting them full
confidence in their management, and their
approval of all acts done for and on be-
half of said railroad company by the Off
GERS and directors of said railway COM
pany."
The meeting was very enthusiastic
one and very fattering reports were
received. The stockholders however,
by resolution, very deeply dsplored
the fact that the railroad was be-
ing seriously hampered in being built, in
that there is an alleged disposition in
Frederick on the part of some persons to
lay impediments in the way Of the speedy
building and completion of the road, and
expressed the hope and desire that all
parties interested in seeing the road COM
pleted ut an early date assist in bringing
about a proper feeling by all those who
are now attempting to prevent the road
from carrying out its policies, to give the
people of Frederick, Thurmont and EN-
mitsburg, an electric, not a steam rail
road. News.

Senate Votes to Kill Dispen-
sary and Bucket Shops and
the House to Repeal Lien
Law.

Columbia special in the OBJ
server: The Senate, which has
been the only hope of the State
dispensary people, today gave
another vicious jab to the system
by adopting the resolution of
Senator Smith to abolish the
dispensary. The vote was 19 to
16, with two anti-dispensary alb.
sentees paired, Senator'S Hough
and Johnson, who were also alb
sent, are known dispensary men.
All of which shows a positive
majority of one.
The vote last night and today
appears to point to the doom of
the State dispensary system, and
the anti dispensary people are
jubilant today.
The original Smith resolution
carried a provision calling upon
the joint judiciary committees to
report bill for a substitute for
the State dispensa1y system, but
this was amended so as to require
these committees to report a bill
providing for local option be.
tween county dispensaries and
county prohibition, which is the
provision of the Carey Cothran
bill, the anii-dispensary cohorts
measure pending in the House
and which that branch wilfpass
by over 10 majority.

10 secure the passage of substi-
tute and Senator Sinkler made
an effort to get in an amendment
so as to have the law in effect
July 1, not to impair existing
licenses, but both were voted
down by large majorities.
The House spent practically
all of its session today debating
the bill of Mr.. Richards to re-
peal that portion of the lien law
which provides for the croppers
making liens to merchants for
supplies. The friends of the bill
took the position that a repeal
was necessary in order to relieve
the unsatisfactory condition AS
to negro labor on the farm.

landlord, lien to another be-

Practical Poultry Talk--Set-
ting the Hen and Manag-
ing the New Biddies.

"Uncle 10" in the Progressive
Farmer.
We are on the eve of Matching
season of 1907 and the work
done in and about the poultry
houses and yards this month
will count much towards success
or failure later on. It is none too
carly to get out the chicken
coops and patch them up if
needed, and give them a good
coat of whitewash inside and
out.
See that all the coops to be
used early in the season have
good floors to them, not station.
ary, but movable floors. The
ground is too cold in February
and March for little chickens to
stand on all night. This is Cause
of Failure No. /.
Then again the preparation of
the nest and setting hens is an.
other important matter. The
best way to do this is to have
your nest boxes (soap boxes are
good) made properly; first give
the box a good coating of white
wash, to which little kerosene
has been added. IntoI this box
put about six inches of dry road
dust, scooping it out in the cen
tire; then put a layer of clean
straw or hay that has been cut
AN inch and half long.
During the early season, when
the weather is uncertain, it is
best not to put more than eleven
eggs in the nest as the outside
ones may become chilled, though
a good old motherly hen will
move her eggs about in the nest.
Before putting the hen on, give
her good dusting with some
insect powder, and repeat this
every week during incubation 4;
do not think because it is early
in the season there are no lice.
They Qike the chronic grumbler) }
are always with us-no, no. not
with us with the hens, though
not in so great numbers as in the
summer. Wage relentless war
fare on the critters, for you can
not successfully raise a crop of
lice and chickens on the same
ground.
AT the expiration of term of
incubation remove the hen and
"biddies" 10 a good coop having

The Model Farm of Geo.
w. Truitt.
Southern Cultivator.

We spent the last day of 1905
down with our friend and sue.
cessful farmer, Geo. w. Truitt.
He is still raising cotton, max
ing 400 bales this year, but he
does not neglect corn, grain and
cattle. He has fine lot of grain
sown and it is looking fine. He
gave us a new idea in drilling
oats in the open furrow, which
greatly simplifies the matter, ,and
works perfectly. He ridges up
his land with scooter and John
son Wing, sows his oats broad
cast by hand; then runs ten
foot scantling or pole, up and
down these ridges, and leaves
the oats down in the sink. We
saw sixty acre field sown this
way and you could not tell but
that the oats had been drilled
with machine, so evenly had
they come up along the burrows
This certainly simplifies the
"open furrow method" Mr..
Truitt showed us a stalk of cot
ton with 1000 open bolls on it.
1t was the finest we ever saw
Had twelve long, large limbs up
on it. 1t was over six feet tall
and as it grew was about eight
feet in diameter as the limbs
spread out. 1t was perfect
shaped stalk and presented a cy
Under, white cotton, the limbs
being tied up to the stalk. Mr..
Truitt used large quantities of
his early, damaged seed upon his
grain. but showed us pile of
1000 bushels of as fine as we
ever saw. Dry enough to rat
tie like grains of corn. We met
three wagon loads going to the
depot to be shipped. He has
plenty Of labor, having over
twenty wagehands. He pays
them $14. 90 per month and gives
ratlons so you see he pays we'll,
but he has good, picked hands.
This may be the way we will
have to solve the labor prolem
pay more and learn to produce
more. A farmer who makes cot
ton, corn, wheat and oats like
Geo. w. Truitt, can afford to paw
we'll for labor. The man who
makes bale of cotton per acre
is not hurt by high wages; it is
the man who is sticking to the
cd slip shod methods of farmina.
There IS no use grumbling; we
will have to readjust ourselves,
that's all. Darwin's theory has
at last struck the farmers, "The
fittest will survive" We want
to say here: Geo. w. Truitt
shreds his corn, feeds cattle,
makes manure, keeps his land
from washing, andis making it
richer every year. But the best
thing about him is that he is in
love with his calling. He loves
to farm and the allurements of
town have no charms for him.
He delights in making big crops
and having plenty of everything
around him, and he has it.

AGREES WITH US.

The Bees most distinguished
and persistent contemporary, the
Chicago Conservator, has at last
agreed with it on the doctrine of
surrender. In its last weeks issue
the COnservator declared that the
position of The Bee was right. The
Conservator accused The Bee of
surrendering its manhood rights to
the doctrine of Prof. Booker 7.
Washington. and when it is called
upon to point out one act of sur
render either on the part of The
Bee or Professor Washington, it
fails in toto and tells The Bee to
point it out. The Bee never accuS-
ed the ConSeryator of anything ex-
Cept its surrender OF the Judgship
to which its esteemed friend was
elected, Mr.. Barnett. The last re-
ply of the Conservator has conyinc-
ed The Bee that its able and learn
ed friend, Editor Wilkins, is not
dangerous after all He started
out to disagree with The Bee and
concludes by agreeing to all The
Bee has said about Tuskegee and

THE ANTI-TIPPING BILL

There are some people in this city

to pass a bill prohibiting tipping in
hotels and elsewhere. 1t has just
been a few days since Congress in
creased the salary of its members.
The POOR clerks were Disseminated
against, and it was said that they
are getting enough money. Now,
some close-pocket' Congressman
has introduced a bill against the
poorly paid walters in hotels, cafes
and other places where it is possible
for poorly paid walters to receive
a small extra piece Of money. No.

that Congress can do without at

from earning an honest living. The
