New Industry Prospers.

The Shirt Factory plant located in
the Davis Building, corner Main and
John streets, and owned and operated
by J. Ezra Stem, of this city, was
started up on the 9Th instant and has
since been running daily without in
terruption. Forty eight machines
consisting of high speed Singers,
Standards and Union Specials have
been placed with all necessary equip
ments to make it an up-to-date and
first class shirt factory. For motive
power a seven-horse Fairbanks Gas
engine is used, and the same was pur-
chased through F. A. Myers of this
CITY, who installed it. Twenty-Five
girls, mostly experienced, are now at
work, and there are at this time sew
eral good openings for operators.
Mr.. Stem has decided to run the
business under the name, firm and
style of The Advance Shirt Com
pany." With him is associated E. w.
Moore, resident of this city for near
ly three years and who has been cut
ter and maker of shirts for the past
twenty-seven years and is thoroughly
efficient and equipped for the bust
ness. In the cutting room table
Ga feet long, made of inch poplar,
has been built, which affords ample
room for that purpose.
The first local order for shirts was
received from the well known firm OF
T. W. Mather & Sons.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL II. 1908.
EASTER.

There is no festival of the chris
tan church more universally and
more joyously celebrated than that
Of Easter. The word derives its
Teutopic name from the festival of
the goddess Ostara, in Anglo-Sax-
on, Eastere, which the Saxons
of old were won t to celebrate about
the same season at which the chris
tian festival Of Easter occurs.
1t is one Of the movable festivals
of the church, and cannot occur
prior to the 22nd of March or later
than the 25th Of April in any year,
so that the Easter of this year
comes within six days Of the latest
period at which it could possibly
occur.
The Easter comes at period of
the year when all nature is in har-
mony with it. Celebrating, as it
does, the resurrection of the Saw
Jour Of the world, it finds the earth
rising from it's winter of death, the
flowers putting forth the budding
Of new life, and everything in the
natural world rejoicing in it's resur-
rection from the sealed tomb.

Academy Of Music.

The Easter attraction at the Acad-
envy of Music, Baltimore, for the week
beginning April 20, with Wednesday
and Saturday matinees, will be "The
Gay Musician" a new comic opera, with
score by Julian Edwards and libretto
by Edward Seidle and Charles Camp
bell, and it is offered by the manage
ment in the sincere belief that, as an
American art product it is decidedly
superior to the conventional musical
attraction.
To any student of recent theatrical
history, as written by the failures and
successes of the current season, moth
ing can be more plain than that the
music loving public has grown weary
of the frothy so-called musical COM
edy," with it's threadbare substitutes
for plot and it's resurrected and rem
iniScent airs. Instead there is now
a well defined demand for comic opera,
real comic opera, with real romance
in it's story, real reasons for it's fun
real rythm in it's lyrics and, more i'm
portant yet, real music in it's score.
''The Gay Musician" is the premier
presentation of the Amusement Pro-
ducing Company a new theatrical Or
ganizaticn, formed with the idea of
producing attractions worthy of this
more discerning element of popular
taste. The name of Julian Edwards
is sufficient guarantee that the music
of "The Gay Musician will be Of the
highest order. His name is among
the foremost of the present day Amer
lean composers, and the book and Tyr
les by Seidle and Campbell are fully
up to the standard Of Mr.. Edwards
music

Sunday School Interests.

There was an interesting meeting
of the executive committee of the
Carroll County Sunday School Con-
vention held in the M. P.Church, West
minister, April 49,
Carroll county with lis Sunday
schools, has been divided into four
districts. There will be Institutes and
conventions held during the year
in these districts for the purpose of
securing the best methods of Sun
day school management and increas-
ing interest and efficiency in Bible
study. There will also be a county
convention held in grove on the last
Saturday of July. Due notice will be
given, and it is hoped that the county
will be we'll represented.
The executive committee has pledg-
ed themselves to raise $3.50 toward the
support of the county and state work;
$25 has already been subscribed.
1t is our earnest desire to aid every
school. To do this your cooperation
is necessary. A letter from the coun-
ty president and number of pages of
literature will be sent to each school
within the next month. If your sup
erintendent does not receive the same,
kindly notify the county secretary Ada
L. Trump, Manchester, Maryland, who
is endeavoring to secure a correct list
of all Sunday school superintendent
of the county.
The motto of the international Sun
day school association is, "The Gospel
to the whole world as speedily as pos
sible." If the whole world is to be
brought to Christ the motto proves the
Importance of the religious training
of the youth of our land.

Grooming the C0lored Voter.

I-ror a mere party point OF view
nothing could be more opportune than
the stroke delivered by the consum-
mate politician in the White House
against Southern railroad corporations
because Of their unjust treatment OF
the mcn and brother. Just when the
colored leaders and representatives

r. S.cn.s demonstration against Fres1-
dert ! ocs1 welt and Secretary Taft be-
ef;se Il the Brownsville affair ap-
peas tie White House ukase to the
Department CT Justice to proceed "a
gsinst tie railroads that make unjust
distinct ons between white and black
passengers.
Wet effect this viii have III allay-
ing the enimosities of the colored vot-
ers tow I'd the Administration and its
favor.te for President remains to be
seer, Lyt there can be no doubt OF its
effect Upon the threatened Southern
railroeds One OF them has already
Mastered to obey the demands of the
President for equal treatment OF
whites nd blacks. On some of the
trainS &C the line in question White
passengers were provided with water
soap an towels to wash the dust from
their fcces at the end of the journey
For the colored passengers this was
not cons. dered necessary. At any rate
it is st ted on the authority of one Of
the Ca.-.Ci~is Of this company that here
after t.ere shall be no soap an(
towels on any Of these trains. Thu.
the white and colored passengers
are put upon a footing of perfec
equality. Such is the triumphant an(
timely vindication of the majesty O.
the law when enforced by the Bis

HAGERSTOWN SALOONS.
Number i'm Washington County Will
Be Reduced.

Hagerstown, Md, April 10.-About
70 saloonkeepers have filed with the
Clerk of the Circuit Court applications
for licenses under the new high license
law which goes into effect May 1. The
license fee is now $500 for saloons in
Hagerstown and L " miles from the
city limits, and $3.50 for saloons in the
county outside of Hagerstown.
The new law requires each saloon
keeper to give a bond for $4,000, with
two bondsmen, each of whom must be
worth $4,000 in real estate and live
within two miles of the place of sale.
No person is permitted to sign more
than one bond. 1t is the bond feature
that gave the dealers most trouble.
About 100 saloons have been in oper-
alton in Washington county the last
year. Of these 60 were in Hagerstown.
Under the new law there will be about
so in Hagerstown on May 1.
AS three-fourths of the license
money from Hagerstown saloons goes
to this city, about $4,000 will find it's
way into Hagerstown's treasury to be
spent on the streets. The State will
receive nearly $4,000 under the opera
ton of the new law, one-fourth of the
license money going to the State. The
general opinion is that the operation
of the new high license law will reduce
the probabilities of local option win
ming at next years election.

Coed Advice to Negroes.

In sermon to negro congregation
last Sunday Cardinal Gibbons spoke
impressively of the necessity of a
proper home life. In this the colored
race is much deficient, and the Cardi-
nal, as usual, spoke upon practical
subject. Many of the substantial and
thoughtful colOred writer's and speak
ers have declared their race to be neg
lectful in the care and training of
their children. They are too much per-
mitted to run at large and follow their
own impulses, growing up idle and
with no sense of obligation resting
upon them. 1t is perhaps due to this
neglect of parents, this deficiency in
homelife and parental control and
training, that there is so much law
lessness among the younger negroes
and so many of them in jails There
is also peculiar carelessness among
negroes about supplying themselves,
with the comforts of home, things that
will make it attractive to the children
as well as the other members of the
family. ALI the home conditions among
the negro race should be improved,
and they can be improved even with
the meager incomes that most of them
are restricted to. The Cardinal gave
the colored congregation admirable
advice upon subject which is emf
nently observation-disclosures Sun.

JUDGE JAMES r. BRASHEARS.

The appointment Of Hon. James
r. Brashears by the Governor to
the vacant Judgeship, occasioned
by the death of Judge Revell, is
received with satisfaction by the
bar and people Of our county, and
he will be heartily welcomed to this
part of his circuit. The new judge
is comparatively unknown to our
people, although he has been in
public life for long time in his
own county.
He was born at West River, in
Anne Arundel county, Md, in 1853.
For six years hewas deputy register
of wills under his father, John W.
-Brashears, and since then has prac-
-ticed law in Annapolis. He sarv-
ed in the House of Delegates in the
sessions Of 1889, 1891 and 1894,
and in the latter session he was
speaker pro tenn. During these
terms he was member of some
of TIE most important committees
OF t. House. He was elected
states attorney in 1895, serving
the full term Of four years. He
was again elected to the House OF
Delegates in 1901 and in that SEES
sion was chairman Of the Judiciary
committee. He was elected State
senator from Anne Arundel county
in November last, for the term OF
foul years. He is man OF fine
character, has the judicial temper
amcnt and we predict will make
an EXCELLENT judge.
