A very enthusiastic and well attend
cd meeting was held in the Court
House Wednesday evening. for the
purpose OF giving expression to the
popular protest against changing the
site oi the Court House. Considering
the fact that the meeting was hurriedly
gotten up there was remarkably
large attendance About I2s persons
were present. the great majority OF
whom were taxpayers.
The meeting was called To order by
Mr.. Manly Drennen. Mr. Henry Vim
singer was elected chairman and Mr..
Frank p Price secretary.
Speeches were made by Messrs.
Henry NJ. Mccullough. Reuben Hanes
and Albert Constable.
Mr.. Mccullough dwelt ON the fact
that the change OF the site OF the Court
House would disorganize and depre-
ciate property values in the town OF
Elkton. He stated that the bill di-
rccting this had been passed in the last
Legislature. while the people OF the
county were ignorant OF its provisions,
and that il required the expenditure
OF the money of the people. without
giving them a chance to say whether
or not they were willing 10 have it
spent in that manner. He quoted from
the bill 10 show that there is over no
limit To the amount the Commission
might expend. He further stated that
while composed OF good men the Com
mission was not representative. being
made up wholly oi lawyers to the ex-
clusion OF merchants. farmers. etc.
When called upon 10 speak. MIR.
Reuben HaineS said his text would be
Il am opposed to moving the Court
House" He said that the old one
could be improved a, less cost than a
new one could be built. and that he
knows the ground next to the present
site can be purchased. He can see no
reason for changing the site that had
been satisfactory for over 100 years,
particularly to the location the Com
mission decided upon. as he is positive
that the title to one oi the properties
is not perfectly clear
He then told oi how he come 10
Elkton in 1868. to practice law in this
old Court House. His voice was

shaken with emotion, and his eyes fill.
he had heard and OF the trials carried
on by men OF might and ability in that
old building He said, II am now 6S
years OF age and expect to retire from
active practice in two more years and
! hope that during those two years at
least the Court House will remain
where il is"
He then asked why the members oi
the Commission were not present to
give their reasons for selecting a new

son why the old one should be changed

that he could not take part in the meet
ing. He explained that the matter OF
changing the site had been voted on
by the Commission. and majority
were in favor oi it, In his opinion it is
not mandatory on the Commission To
move the Court House. but that by pur-
chasing the property adjoining they
will comply with the law
