Tells Farmers to Unite.

The Senior Gunpowder Agricultural Club
met at the home of Mr.. James B. Ensor, near
Belfast. Mr.. John Crowther was foreman.
Capt. Robert w. Sylvester of the Maryland
Agricultural College; Daniel Shamberger, J..
Fred Shamberger, Of Georges Creek Farmers
Club, and Messrs. Laban Sparks, Daniel S.
Pearce, Frank G. Scott, Joshua G. Bosley,
Edward E. Scott, of the Junior Gunpowder
Agricultural Club; William H. Buck, Jr.,
Alexander Dance, Daniel Wilhelm, Alexan.
der D. Brooks, Garfield, Webster and Thomas
Ensor were among those present.
Inspection showed MIR. Ensor's grain and
grass crops to be above the average and the
dairy herd and other stock to be well cared
for. Cold weather damaged Mr. Ensor's
alfalfa.
The value of crimson clover and the advan,
tage of blowing down of green crops for added
fertility, also the great Importance of the corn
crop because of its productiveness and worth
for so many purposes, were considered. As
much as Is tons of corn to the acre can be
raised when one ton to one and half tons an
acre is an average yield for hay.
Captain Sylvester addressed the members,
advocating agricultural chools in every county
of the State, so that the scholars can be edu
Gated in those things that suit their environ.
ments. He favors the consolidation of schools.
He said farmers should manifest an interest in
all that is of advantage to the home, and not
sit and be satisfied with what is given them in
the way of prices. A farmer is entitled TO
interest on the capital invested, to receive
what it costs him to produce crop and a
living profit. He should demand this, and,
if need be, unite with others, as labor has.
done, to have its grievances satisfactorily met.
He said he has made up his mind to do all in
his power to get farmers to unite, not only in
the district, but in the counties and State, and
organize on the grange principle. He re-
ferred to the cotton growers of the South, who
through united efforts now get profit out of
the cotton crop. The farmers must know
how to meet difficulties and know where they
stand.

To "Raise" Rural Carriers.

WASHINGTON, April 28-Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer has approved Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General De Graw's REIMBURSEMENT
of salaries of rural carriers, and the schedule
given below will become effective July next.
At the lastsession of Congress, Postmaster
General Cortelyou recommended that the
compensation of rural carriers be increased,
and authorized Mr.. De Graw to work out the
details. The result of their work was the
enactment of a law increasing the maximum
amount to be paid rural carriers to 5000 per
annum. The readjustment will involve an
expenditure for rural service during the next
fiscal year of nearly $35, 100000.
Maryland has at present 3S7 rural carriers;
North Carolina, III; West Virginia 246, and
Virginia, 1854.
The schedule adopted is as follows:
TWenty.four or more miles the carrier will
receive $500 per annum; % to "a miles, 1864;
20 to % miles, 1910; 18 to 20 miles, $72O; 16
to Is miles, $3.50; IA to 16 miles, $40; II to
IA miles, $5O4; 10 to II miles, $46s; s to 10
miles, 1882; 6 to miles, 1896.
This is an increase all along the line of from
9 to "a per cent.

effected early this morning along the D., l..
Il W. Railroad near Milton, Pa, when Chief
OF Pohce Mincemoyer, of Danville, leaning
far out of speeding locomotive. seized Chas'
Sutton by the collar and swung him on board

county Jail several hours before, and believing
that he would try to escape along the railroad,
Sheriff Williams and Chief Mincemoyer got
a locomotive crew together and started in
pursuit. While running about 20 miles an
hour they suddenly espied, in the glare
of the headlight, Sutton leaning back
against box car on the adjoining track to let
the locomotive pass him. He was unsuspicious
of such speedy pursuit and did not realize il
until Mincemoyer's strong arm shot out and
seized him and he was hauled aboard the loco
motive, which did not stop until after the cap
ture was effected.

Western MARYLAND Track Team.

The Western Maryland Relay Team went
to Philadelphia last Saturday and took part in
the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival
They finished second 10 Haverford in class
of six teams The Carlisle Indians were en-
tered and were on the grounds, but neglected
to appear at the start on schedule and the six
teams raced without them. While there is
some satisfaction in beating out such teams as
Dickinson, Lehigh, Rutgers and College of
New York, still it is somewhat disappoint-
ment at getting defeated by 1888 team, which
is about what they are equal to, everything
being favorable. Western Maryland's unoffi-
cial time was 1874 1.5. Western Maryland
was close second, being only about five or
six yards behind the winner. Rutgers was a
poor third, about 20 yards behind the leader.
The intercollegiate games will be held at
the Mt. Washington grounds on Saturday.

The jamestown Exposition--Its His
torical Significance.

Amid the boom of cannon and the flash
of oratory, the jamestown Exposition was
formally opened on Friday last, the 10Th,
ultimo.
Tt was momentous occasion, and never
in the history of the world was there such
a magnificent naval display as that which
was presented in Hampton Roads.
All the principal powers of the world
were there, with the picked ships of their
navies, and the United States had congre-
gated large number of its splendid war
vessels.
No finer body of deep water can be
found upon the globe than Hampton
Roads. And besides this, these waters were
made historic to the whole world by the
famous contest which took place there on
March 9th, 1862, between the Conteder-
ate ironclad Merrimac and the United
States ironclad Monitor.
This contest astonished the world and
changed the whole character and construc-
ton of the world navies The old wooden
warships became thing of the past, and
the ponderous ironclads, as we see them
today, took their places, and gives to this
arm of the military service an importance
it never had before.
The President of the Exposition and
the President of the United States each
made appropriate addresses, and other most
interesting exercises were held.
The Exposition commentaries the three
hundredth anniversary of the planting OF the
first permanent English colony on American
soil, and marks the beginning of an era in
the world history, of the greatest import
ance to mankind. 1t took courageous men
to brave the perils of the deep, in crossing
the ocean in vessels that would scarcely now
be considered seaworthy for trip across the
placid waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
Under Providential guidance, however,
ChristopherNewport, with his lO5 colonists,
were safely brought across, and undertook
the great work which was before them.
The country was at that time vast,
unexplored wilderness, filed with savage
beasts and equally savage men. So that
the task before the English settlers was
one of peculiar privation, toll and danger,
as their subsequent experience proved it
to be- The attempt to colonize the coun-
try had many ups and downs, many trials
and failures But each attempt placed
the vanguard of the settlers little further
ahead. Until finally, after struggles that
would have disheartened less resolute and
heroic people, the colonist got his foot
firmly planted, and the past three hundred
years attest the marvellous development
which has come from the germ of civiliza-
ton which was planted at jamestown in
1907.
The event of the landing of these pion-
eer English settlers, on the soil of Vir
ginia, is worthy to be commemorated, and
we wish every success to the jamestown
Exposition.
