Proposed Road Law.

1t is said that public road law for
this County has been decided upon by
the promoters of the proposition, inelu-
sive of the members of the Legislature.
The plan is to create road commission
of three persons who shall have the
power to appoint civil engineer, and to
have charge of the entire management
of the public highways. The commits
sion is to be at first created by the law
itself, and is to hold office for four
years, and after that time it is to be APP
pointed by the County Commissioners of
Charles County. The first commission
is to be composed of one person APP
pointed from a recommendation of the
Democratic State Central Committee for
this County one from a recommended
ton of the Republican State Central
Committe for this County, and one per
son from the recommendation of the
Prohibition State Central Commute of
this County. The bill has not as yet
been drafted, and as to who is to do this
important work we are not advised.
The proposition seems fair and in the
interest of the taxpayers and bid to
have better roads, so we cannot but give
the plan our most unqualified endorse
ment.

the Department of Agriculture telling the story of
farm and ranch and range that dot the valleys,
hsides and plains of great country story
that shows the wonderful strides of progress that
have been made from year to year and are now
eliminating in prospective yield of $4,000, 000 900
worth of farm products during the current season.
1t is wonderful story that unfods to view the re-
suit of careful, painstaking tillers of the soil
who are striving to improve the quality and
quantity of the fruits of their toll and have been
aided by the gently falling rains and piercing
frosts of the open winter.
At the present time the hay crop is yielding its
harvest Never before has it been abundant,
and seldom has its quality been excellent The
grass fields have been giving such bountiful
growth that the quality and quantity of dairy and
meat products resulting therefrom has never been
surpassed, and the oncoming hay crop promises
continuance of like conditions for the ensuing
winter months.
