Cook, well known farmer of Sweet Air, 10th
district. had a very unpleasant experience on
the York road, below the Smile hill, about 5
O'Clock last Tuesday morning. He was on his
wav to market driving two young mules when
a car going in the same direction ran him down
and scattered the contents of his wagon in every
direction. Mr.. Cook was thrown out upon his
head. but fortunately escaped serious injury.
The wagon was packed to the roof with pota-
toes, apples, butter and about so dozen of eggs,
all of which was destroyed. 1t is said the COLI
sion was entirely due to the carelessness OF
wrecklessness of the motorman, who could
have prevented the collision by slackening the

This Time the Women Score Big Vic
tory.-Nearly four hundred persons attended
the meeting of the Sweet Air Lyceum last
Saturday night, the hall being too small to &C
commodate the throng. The debate was that
women are intellectually superior to men, and
the geniler sex won-four to one. Messrs.
John T. Bishop and w. Harrison Curtis argued
for the affirmative, and Prof. J. Herbert Owens
and Mr.. Elmer w. Price for the negative.
The Judges were Mrs. ID. Clinton Marshall and
Messrs. James P. Carroll, Thomas j. Jessop,
Eugene Pocock and George Treut
Mr.. Bishop, a bachelor, trained nurse, small
in stature, with dark mustache and perfect
diction, started the debate by saying it was
very embarrassing to be called on to take the
affirmative when his sympathies were with the
thirds of mems existence" but said he was
compelled to say, after carefully weighing the
intellectual achievements of the two-sexes that
man has accomplished more.
He cited scientific researches, literature, dis
covery of steam, electricity and other accom-
pljshments by men and predicted that the day
is near when he Twill fly through the air."
He admitted that good woman was worth
ten good men, but still he persisted she was
inferior Intellectually. He said there were no
Shakespeares, Websters, Darwins,- Washing
TONS Lincolns or Franklins in the female sex.
Professor Owens, principal of Jarrettsvile
High School, unmarried, small in stature,
smooth face, with spectacles, spoke pleasantly
and the ladies smiled on him approvingly.
In refuting the Alternatives contention that
men were capable of greater research, he de-
clared women had greater endurance than men
and statistics showed that they lived longer.
This pleased the ladies.
Mr. Curtis, retired farmer. ex-school teacher
and former member of the Legislature, short
in statue, gray whiskers and hair, jovial in
manner and with an easy delivery, said he was
willing to admit that the ladies of Sweet Air
were Intellectually equal to the men. He said,
in fact, they were apparently superior to men,
as he always found they took more active part
in the entertainments than the men. Women
in other parts of the county. he declared, do
not measure up to the Sweet Air girls, and
argued that they must be taken as class.
Mr.. Elmer w. Price, unmarried, with au-
burn hair, smooth face and with an earnest
| yet pleasing address, began by saying women
are equal, if not superior, to men intellectually.
The responsibilities of motherhood, he said,
were such that developed their intellects to the
| fullest degree. He declared that the vocation
| of wives, sweethearts and mothers was to
| elevate man, and he said it had been proved
that women can rule men by intellectual force.
He cited Helen Keller and also Queen Victoria.

L. Improvement ASSOCIATION 6oloS Spec1al
Meeting--The Water Question Para
mount.-A special meeting of the Towson
Improvement Association was held in the
Child House of Wednesday night, the presi-
dent. Mr.. James ]. Lindsay, occupying the
chair, with Mr. T. Scott Offntt, secretary.
A proposition to form an independent water
company to supply Towson and Lutherville
favorable comments were made by Messrs.
Charles E. Fendall, John Grason, Dixon c..
Walker, N. D. r. Allen and James ]. Lindsay.
Mr.. Grason said there is water supply at
Ruxton which he is certain can be bought if
an agreement is made to furnish that section
for which it was started. If company was
formed he thought, the Rnxton interests would
take at least $4,000 worth of stock.
Mr., Walker at once pledged himself for 81,
600 worth of stock, and said: II want to make
my home at Towson always and will do so if
Towson water company is formed but If the
Patapsco river water is brought to Twwson
will move elsewhere"
Mr.. Fendall said when the former Towson
Water Company was formed there was not the
demand for water, but now everybody realizes
he has to have water from other than well
supply and he said it would be no trouble to
get subscribers to the stock.
Mr.. Lindsay said the only way out of the
difficulty was to form local company with
from $50 900 to 100000 capital. He thought
it would be on paying basis from the start.
At the last regular meeting of the association
reports were made that the water company
was laying mains along Woodbourne avenue
and in that section between Govanstown and
Hamilton.
Mr.. Lindsay announced that formal re-
quest had been sent the Consolidated Gas Com
pany in reference to extending its mains to
Towson, and an answer has been received in
which General Latrobe says the company is
anxious to accede to the request and has the
matter under serious consideration.
A meeting will be held next Wednesday
night at the home of Mr.. Dixon @. Walker
and invitations will be sent to residents of
Towson and Lutherville to attend. The form
ing of the proposed company will be discussed
and if decided favorably subscriptions to the
stock will be solicited at once.
