Wednesday at the hospitable home of
Mr.. George W. Brooke. The following
members attended: Geo. w. Brooke. Up
ton B. Brooke, VIM. G.. Brooke, F. Snow

James Berry, F. w. Hill, Eugene Rob
erts, VIM. 81. Holmead, Franklin Weems
and Frederick Sasscer. Dr. Hill presided
with Mr.. Weems as Secretary. After en-
joying the delightful dinner, the club
held a business meeting. The subject
fol- discussion was: Can the cultivatio n
of tobacco be continued under existing
conditions?" All realized the difficulties
the planter has to combat, but it seems
impossible to substitute any crop that is
so well adapted to soil and climate, and
a cultivation of tobacco, upon a smaller
scale, is likely to be continue. Arrange
ments were made for the prize to be
awarded for corn at next fair. The Au-
gust meeting of the club will be at the
home of Mr. Upton Brooke.

The Brotherhood of St. Andrew

The Washington 'Hearld," of July
Goth, contained the following:
Upper Marlboro proved an ideal place
for holding meeting, last Monday, of
all the Washington chapters of the Broth
erhood of St. Andrew. They have a new
chapter of the brotherhood there, and so
the local assembly decided that the gath
ering intended to rouse the spirit of
brotherhood we'll all over the diocese
with regards to the coming convention,
should be held where it would also stimu-
late and strengthen local sentiment.
Chaplain Charles G. Pierce, D. D., of
the United States army, now on leave
from Cuba, was the appointed preacher,
and fully sustained his reputation as one
we'll to hold and instruct his hearers.
With true Southern hospitality the ladies
had supper prepared on the arrival of
the special car attached to the Chesa-
peake Railroad train, which all the dele
gates and visitors thorouhly enjoyed be
fore the meeting began at s o'clock.
In the church at Upper Marlboro is a
monument to "Maryland's great Pres
byter," who was Mr.. Meyer Levin, D.
D., father of Mr.. William Levin, a promi-
nent Washington lawyer.
1t was great surprise and regret to
many that when Bishop Pinkney died,
whose statue stands in Oak Hill Gene
terry, il Georgetown, that DR.. Levin was
not chosen as his successor. He seemed
to be the most notable figure on our
church platform at that time. His ability
was unquestioned, his energy boundless
-Rooseveltian it would be described to-
day-and his learning, particularly on
ecclesiastical subjects, was wonderful.
There is story going that once in de-
bate in convention on question of can
ons, DR.. Lewin's opponent said: "Does
DR.. Levin intend US to believe he knows
all the canons of all the dioceses of the
American church," Eyes, SIR" came the
reply, 81 know every one of tn en-"

George County seat, that its people were

during the period from the Is to the
81 of June We experienced the hottest
weather of the summer. The humidity
sweltering humanity. Frequent showers
have only given temporary relief, leav-
ing the atmosphere more sultry than at
first Occasional breezes and slight
lowering of the temperature mitigated
the hea: some what and the thermometer
has rarely risen beyond 80 degrees, but
dog days are with US and that tired feel
ing makes exertion an effort. Much
care should be exerted to keep out of the

and avoid an excess of iced drinks there
by saving ourselves from sun stroke and
violent attacks of indigestion.
The postal laws prohibit placing
written messages in merchandise pack
ages or letters on which less than two
cents an ounce has been paid, and the
provisions of this statute admit of no
waiver of the penalty. During the last
fiscal year postotfice inspectors collected
$5S,065 for such violations. In thousands
of cases a short note or memorandum
was placed insi lie a package of merchan-
disc on which postage was paid at one an
ounce, while the written matter made
it necessary that two cents an ounce
should have been paid. Finding that in
great number of cases the offense was
due to ignorance of the law and that the
collection of the fine usually works hard
ship to the very poor, especially where
written messages are made in returning
coupon, tags or certificates for premium.
Postmaster General Meyer has directed
that proper notices be placed in post
offices warning the public against the
practice.
Mr.. George Baden, son of Mr.. John
81. Baden, we'll known and respected
farmer, committed suicide on his farm
near North Keys, this county, on We'd
nesday last, by shooting himself with a
shot gun. He left home with his gun
saying he intended to shoot some squir-
rels, and shortly afterward a shot was
heard but not until later in the day,
when his wife found his lifeless body
near the family spring, did the suicide
become known. The general impression
is that Baden's mind was unbalanced by
the intense heat. Some IS or 26 years
ago he was overcome by the heat and his
mind was temporarily affected but he
had been enjoying excellent health up to
a few days ago. He was about 4S years
old and highly esteemed by all who knew
him. He leaves widow and one child.

The "CnWritten Law"

MITcHELLvILLE, MD, July Is, 1907,
MR.. EDIToR:-In view of the disgrace
and shame that has been brought upon
our State and our beloved district of
Southern Maryland, should like to Of
fer through your columns, on behalf of
myself and all right thinking people OF
this neighborhood our unqualified protest
against the action of men in the highest
places, who have dragged the fair honor
of their state in the dust by declaring
themselves in favor of 'the unwritten
law" and their endeavor to foist upon US
the responsibility for the operation Of
this SO called law. We absolutely repud-
late their statements and deplore the fact
that such men are entrusted with the hon
or and welfare of our people. That a
man who has in such large degree the
support and confidence of the people of
this Congressional district should have
declared himself so whole heartedlY in
favor of the Anarchist doctrine of "the
unwritten law" is threat to our liberties
which we cannot soon forget. That
Judges and attorneys should have ex
pressed any sympathy for. or belief in
''the unwritten law is menace to liber-
ty and justice against which prompt and
decided action on the part of our people
must be taken to save us from a great
evil
The doctrine of Private Vengeance is
as surely an Anarchist tenet as any that
ever has been promulgated, is opposed
to the laws of God and the foundation
principles of civi lization and human lib
critics.
Take the condemnation by Jacob of the
Acts of Simeon and Levi, in avenging the
wrong done to their sister. Genesis Chap
ter 40, yer ses S, 6, 7, and the Christian
revelation ON this subject by St. Paul:
''Vengea nee is mine saith the Lord &c, 2"
Romans, chapter IL, verse 10, and you
have fair sample of how Cody men
have set forth Gods word IN this matter.
The very Fundamental principle of
human liberty for which men have con-
tended since the days that we wrested
from King John the "Magna Charta. !"
has bsen the right Of fair trial. The
historian, Green says of the following
article from this great charter, ut lies
at the base of our whole judicial system"
mo freeman shall be seized or impris-
pned. or outlawed. or in any way brought
to ruin; we will not against any man,
