Jacksonville and Sunnybrook, 10th Dis
trict.-This is the season for roses and they
were never more beautiful than they are just
now. City people who are now visiting in
the country are charmed with these exquisite
flowers, thought by many to be the floral
queen.
The festivals that have taken place in this
community have been much enjoyed by those
who have participated in them. Sunny brook
has been especially fortunate in this respect
and its pleasant sounding name, to say moth.
ing of its agreeable people, may have had
much to do with the success of these affairs.
Rev. H. l.. Febrey, of West Hartford Circuit,
M. E. Church South, breaches at Fairview
Church, Sunny brook, every Sunday afternoon
and he usually has large congregations for a
country church. Pastor and officers are work
ing tremendously and earnestly and this &C.
counts for the success of the appointment.
Rev. ]. r. Jacobs, former pastor, is pleased
to learn of Mr.. Febrey's successful work.
Misses Mamie Snitker and Marie Kratz of
Baltimore, are visiting Misses Anna and Olive
Brrk, of Glover HILL Sweet Air.
The beautiful weather of the past few days
has inspired the farmers with new life. They
have donned their straw hats and are now
pushing their work with redoubled vigor.
The Young Peoples G. E. meeting at Chest
nut Grove Church last Sunday night was led
by Miss Agnes Nau, who did remarkably well.
The young folks should be prompt in their
attendance upon these meetings. They al
ways exert good influence. M.

land, addressed the Baltimore County Medical
Association at its meeting at the Guild House,
Towson, on Thursday afternoon.
He said there were about $50 physicians in
the county and that only about one third were
members. The physicians, he said, should
have stronger organization in the richest and
largest county in the State for the purpose Of
helping them in many ways. He cited coun.
ties where every physician was member and
others where all but one belonged. Others,
he said, were worse off than Baltimore county.
DR.. O'Donovan pointed out the advantages
to be derived in having laws passed by the
Legislature and what work could be accom-
plished by organization. He advised that
physicians enter politics and that an effort be
made to have every physician in the county
join the association.
Papers were read by DR.. A. D. McConachiee
on Essential Ear knowledge for the General
Practitioner" DIR. Josiah s. Bowen on Essen
tial Eye knowledge for the General Practition-
err and by DR.. Benjamin Whitley, president
of the association, on Relations OF the Coun-
ty Societies to the State Faculty"

Parkville, Hartford Road.-Children' day
was observed at Hiss NJ. E. Church last Sun
day. The interior of the church was beauti
fully decorated for the occasion and highly
entertaining program was rendered, and those
who drilled the children for their respective
parts won unstiuted praise. The audience wa!
very large and those whose children took par
in the program exhibited pardonable pride
in the success of their little ones. They surely
should be grateful for such an institution al
the Sunday school. Too much cannot be sale
in favor of the splendid work that men ani
women of all determinations are doing in thi
field, and the good that is being done every yea
is too great to be estimated. They should b
encouraged in every possible way, and parents
should see to it that their children are promp
in their attendance upon these schools. T.

Columbia, August 2: All corpora
tions doing business in South Caroli-
ma, although having general of1ces
outside the state, are as liable to the
annual license as domestic concerns,
according to an opinion by Associate
Justice Eugene B. Gary and concurred
in by Chief Justice Pope and Associ-
ate Justices Jones and Wood. Besides
this feature there is another in con-
nection with the opinion rendered
that adds considerable interest be-
cause of the fact that the supreme
court has reversed previous opinion
rendered in the same case but In
which the petitioner was sustained.
The British and American Mortgage
company sought to be exempt from
paying the required licenses and max
ing reports to the comptroller gene
raj because the concerns headquar-
ters are outside the state and business
being conducted by local agents. In
March, 1907, in an opinion by Asso-
ciate Justice Gary the mortgage COM
panys contentious were sustained and
the comptroller general was enjoined
from applying the provisions OF the
statute and II seemed that In view or
that decision the state would not be
able to collect from such corpora
tions. Attorney General Lyon, how
ever, after the decision, made argu-
ment for a rehearing in the case and
his motion was granted, and he made
argument in behalf Of the state, show
ing that the British and American
Mortgage company was liable to such
license the same as local corporations
and I'm addition to the regular annual
fee of 800. Opinion announced this
morning sustains the contentious OF
the attorney general and all corpora
tions doing business in South Carroll
ma, whether the headquarters are
within the state or outside, are alike
subject to the statute and must pay
the prescribed license. The company
held that the 500 fee was all that
was necessary under a former act and
anything additional was a violation
of a contract with the state.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1907.

Coventry, England, August Z
Mounted on a white palfrey and de-
corously clothed in masses Of hair
pink fieshings and clouds of gauze, q
modern Lady Godiva today gave q
representation of the historic ride
through the city's streets. Coventry
has been Lady Godiva mad fol
months. When a revival Of the pro-
cession, last witnessed in 1887, was
first mooted there were many who de-
sired strict adherence to tradition
even to the nudity of Lady Godivar
but the "anti-nudists" effected a
compromise and vaudeville actress,
whose specially Is to display hersell
in groups of living statuary, was en-
gagged to represent the historic bene-
factress of Coventry. The actress, who
is said to have complained that she
could make half a dozen summer
frocks out of the gauZe she was COM
pelled to wear, took an hour and a
half to arrange her trailing hair and
long draperies and then special
committee had to approve Of her cos
tune before Lady Godiva was per-
mitted to take her place In the pa
geant. Many or the local clergy WHO
had been preaching against the flesh
ings as being suggestive Of nudity, left
the city temporarily, but most Of the
people of the country and $4,000 to
100, 900 from the outside had sight
of Lady Godiva as she traversed the
six mile route and of the splendid pa
geant of which she was the central
figure. Lady Godiva, who fiourished
about the middle of the eleventh CEN
tury, was the wife Of Loefric, Earl
of Chester. She was a woman OF
great beauty and piety and the bene-
factress Of many churches and mon
asteries. According to the legend,
Lady Godiva begged her husband to
relieve Coventry Of burdensome tax
and he consented to do so, on condition
that she should ride naked through
the market place. This she did, COW
cred only by her long hair and thus
won relief for the people. According
to some versions of the story the peo-
pie were commanded to keep within
their houses while Lady Godiva pass
ed and only one person. 'Peeping
Tom" disobeyed and he was mirac-
ulously stricken blind.
