THE OUTLOOK.

We congratulate the Democrats
everywhere for the clean, vigorous
campaign which they have been con-
ducting, and which will close before
the next issue of this paper.
Mr.. Bryan has been most untirine
in his efforts and has, with wonder
full force and clearness, held up to the
country the principles of the Demo
cratic platform. Other speakers of
great prominence have been upon the
hustings, and everywhere the party
has been energetically at work.
The Republican party is strongly
entrenched behind the great army of
federal officeholders and the trusts
and monopolies, and 1t will require
an enormous effort to dislodge them.
1t is also true that they have for years
been playing into the hands and cof-
fers of the bloated corporations, and
now call upon them for any amount Of
money they may think necessary to
carry the election.
But we belieye,, however, the spirit
Of American manhood ia SO aroused in
this campaign that money will not
count for as muck as it does at some
elections.
Upon the merits Of the controversy
the Republicans deserve to be beaten,
and all indications point to the fact
that they will be. The Democrats de-
serve to succeed in this campaign, and
we congratulate them upon the pros
pect of doing 80.
The Democrats of this county have
never done better and more effective
work, and we predict both for the
presidential and the congressional
tickets larger majority than this
county usually gives. But every
Democrat must vote, and exert himself
to see that the full party strength is
p0lled.
Let us at this election give such a
majority that no Republican will here
after question the fact that Carroll is
a Democratic county.

VOTE GETS INTO THE BALLOT
BOX.

1t behooves the Democrats of this
county and state to bestir themselves
at the coming election. The issues
are weighty and important. The Re-
publican party is the friend of trusts
and monopolies, and is depending
largely in this contest upon the money
to be contributed by these rich, pro-
tected corporations to carry the cleo
ton for Taft. Maryland must stand
in her place in the Democratic column,
with her sister states of the South.

LOOK TO YOUR INTERESTS.

If the farmers of Carroll county
want to pay from IS to So NOR for an
oliver chilled plow than an English or
a German farmer can buy the same
plow for, let him vote for Taft. But
If you want a square deal on this, and
a hundred other articles, which are
now protected by the Republican tar
if, vote for that fearless and able
friend of the farmer and working man,
William Jennings Bryan.

Oh, dear Mr.. Editor,
What's the use of tryin,'
The dinner pail is empty
And all the children cryin,.
The little toes are stickin' out,
And mothers hearts a flutter;
There's nothing in the cupboard
Not crust of bread nor butter.
So, My Dear Mr.. Editor,
There is no use of tryin',
We're all a goin' to vote this time
For good old Billy Bryan.

HOW OYSTERS
AREFATTENED
Peculiar Process That Goes ar
When Placed in Fresh or
Brackish Water They
Lose Some OF Nu-
tritive Quail
tiles.

1t is a common practice of ovsra,
dealers, instead of selling the oysters
in the condition in which they are
taken from the beds in salt water
to place them for time, say forty.
eight hours, in fresh or brackish wal.
er, in order to fatten them, the oper.
alton being also called floating" or
laying out" BY this process the
oyster acquires plumpness, and its
bulk and weight are so increased as
materially to increase its selling
value. The belief is common among
oystermen that this fattening is due
to actual gain of flesh and fat, and
that the nutritive value of the oyster
is increased by the process. They
find that the oysters fatten much
more quickly in fresh than in brack-
ish water. Warmth is so favorable
to the process that it is said to be
sometimes found profitable to warm
artificially the water in which the
oysters are foated.

New York City.-Coming slowly
into port through the thick fog about
$50 O'Clock a. m. the big White Star
freighter George, from Liverpool, ran
down and sank the Panama Railroad
Company's steamer Finance, outward
bound for Cristobal, in the Canal
Zone
The vessels came together in the
main ship channel. about three miles
east of the Sandy Hook Lightship.
Fifteen minutes after the bow of the
Georgia had torn great hole in the
side Of the Panama steamer she was
lying on the bottom of the channel,
with only part of her bridge, smoke
stack and masts showing above water.
Three passengers and one of the
ships assistant engineers were
drowned They were:
Irene Campbell, a fourteen-year-old
colored girl, living near Cristobal.
Henry Muller, railroad conduc-
tor. living at Basobispo.
Charles W. Schweinler, a police
man from the Canal Zone
William D. Todd. third engineer, of
New York.
There were about seventy-hve pas
sengers, among them nineteen wom-
en- and fifteen children. Following
the collision, several men and women
jumped overheard, but were picked
up by the boats from the Finance and
the Georgia. On the whole, good or
der prevailed. and il was due to this
that there was not greater loss OF
life The officers and crew of the
Finance were cool. Captain Mowbray
appeared on the deck as his vessel
was sinking, armed with revolver.
and saw that the women and children
were first to enter the boats. After
seeing the passengers into the boats,
the skipper returned to the bridge,
refusing offers of help. He was on
the bridge when the vessel sank.
Fortunately the bridge stayed above
water. and he was taken of after
ward in boat
Following the collision the am
monia tank on the Finance exploded.
William Todd, the third engineer, was
caught in the escaping fluid. Almost
suffocated, he staggered TO the deck
and jumped overheard before res
cuers could reach him.
Muller was drowned while swim
ming about the Finance. and Irene
Campbell. the little colored girl, re-
fused to leave the Finance, clinging
to the rail in frenzy of terror.
The accident was due wholly to the
fog.

morning before posse of citizens
from Tiptonyille and surrounding
towns were in pursuit of the negroes,
but the trio eluded the pursuers until

The restrictions put upon the State
In the expectation of animals afflicted
with the disease are the same as those
/. applied to Pennsylvania, New York,
New Jersey and Michigan.
The first reports of the prevalence
of the epidemic came from Lineboro,
which is but half mile from the
Pennsylvania State line. Govern
ment inspectors at once were sent to
the place to ascertain whether the dis
ease actually existed. II was upon
their report that the quarantine or
der was issued.
For some time Secretary Wilson,
DR.. a. D. Melvin. chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, and State veter-
marian Nackie, of Maryland, were in
consultation regarding the course to
be taken for the eradication of the
disease.
In the opinion of Secretary Wilson
the disease, If checked Immediately
in all the States 1t has appeared, will
cost the Government about $500 ,000.
The arrangement the Department of
Agriculture has made with the State
is that the Government shall pay two
thirds and the State one-third of the
cost OF suppression.
Baltimore. Md.-The immediate eff
feet of the quarantine against Mary
land is to stop the expectation of live

city several days ago, the foot and
mouth disease first appeared in herd
of cattle on farm near Lineboro,

here, has been confined to that partic-
ular farm, although it has been CON-
municated to all the cattle and hogs
on the place. The farm was at once

DIVORCES MORE COMMON.
Rate Growing and is Higher in United
States Than Elsewhere.

Washington. D. ca higher IL
vorce rate in the United States than
in any of the foreign countries where
statistics are available is announced
by the Census Bureau, which, IN q
bulletin, says that at least one mar
riage in twelve in this country ulti-
mately terminates in divorce. The
report covers the twenty years from
1887 to 1906 inclusive. From 1887
10 1905 there were 12,S32,044 mar
riages and s45,625 divorces. against
32S,T16 divorces for the preceding
twenty years.
Divorce is now two and a half
times as common. compared with the
married population, as II was forty
years ago. Utah and Connecticut are
the only two States showing a de-
creased divorce rate
Desertion caused $50 per cant. of
the total divorces in the twenty years,
almost half of the divorces being
granted to the husband for this cause
and about one-thrid TO the wife for
the same cause.
