County, although in the immediate
vicinity of Elkton there has been
sufficient rainfall TO mature the crops.
In the First district, Lower Second,
Elk Neck section of the Fifth, and In
all the upper part of the county the
corn, potatoes and truck have been
practically ruined. and the pasture has
been cut SO short that some farmers
are cutting their burned up corn and
feeding it to their stock. From our
reports from several sections of the
dry area corn will not make more than
third of crop.
The most remarkable thing about the
drought Is that it has prevailed In sec
tons, the strip of country through by
North East, Elkton and Glasgow not
having suffered much.

w ing the platforms OF political
parties, and We can realize how easily
many oi our readers may have skipped
the resolutions published IN our last
weeks report oi the Republican County
Convention. We are not going TO just
now rchcarSc those resolutions or en-
ter upon any detailed review OF the
same. We SIMPLY note at present that
they commit our legislative candidates
-Messrs. Charles -. Benjamin, George
Nj. Christie, Samuel NJ Welsh and
Roger Williams to the doctrine OF
popular referendum III matters oi pure
ly local Importance, and to the repre-
sentation OF the peoples rights and
welfare instead vi corporate influence
and interests This Is, as Senator
France So well points out IN his article
OF tins weeks WING, the supreme
issue that conironts the people con-
corning legislative representation. II
the peoples interests are not 10 be
sold out lor political aggrandizcmcnt
or Tor the Legislators and lobbyists
personal profit, il is Oi the highest
importance that men should be sent to
Annapolis who cannot be bought or
bulled or BAN buozled. / ms Is the
interest, and the only interest which
we have had III the nomination oi
Charles y Benjamin ior the State
Senate. While MIR. Benjamin was
strongly aycrsc To accepting the noml-
nation, We agreed with many other
thoughtful citizens OF this county-Re-
publicans and Democrats alike-that
he was just the sort oi man needed TO
represent the people and to protect
their intrcsts against professional poll
ticians, corrupt lobbyists and all the
other breed OF unholy influences that
iniest Annapolis with every meeting
OF the Legislature. While we have ell
tire confidence in the integrity and
capacity OF the other gentlemen on our
legislative ticket, We refer to Mr.. Ben
jamin especially just now, because Mr..
Benjamin has been tested and not
found wanting. We recognize the
mistakes he has made; we recognize
the opposition he has at times awak-
ened. But Democrats and Republicans
alike, who have kept touch with
county affairs in the last Jew years,
agree III declaring that Mr.. Benjamin
has been single minded and immovable
in his purpose to make his public acts
subserve the peoples interest, even
when il has at times cost him per-
sonal or party criticism. Now, do the
people want that sort OF representa-
ton in public office, or do they not?
DO they want man whose first and
only consideration in his public con-
duct is what will be right and best for
the people he represents, or what will
be best for party capital or his own
political future. This is rig;. where
the issue is framed. It is for the peo-
pie OF this county to say whether they
believe or do not believe in Mr.. Ben
jamin's conception OF public official
duty We do believe in il and would
rather go down to defeat fighting for
that sort Of thing than win by the sac
rifice OF everything which we regard
as true and best in public affairs.

PAUL ON CHRISTIAN LOVE.
(Cor. IA: FAD

Ltoabh 49, ~ -
PAUL ON CHRISTIAN LOVE.
(Cor. 70: i-I3)
Golden Text: And now abideth
faith, hope, love, these three; but the
greatest OF these is love- j Cor.
-: -.
This is the great poem OF love. II IS
the supreme flower OF the life and love
of Paul. Ii is the one work oil art
which his genius produced. To COM
prehend its position IN the letter TO the
Christians in Corin,h. one must read
the twelfth chapter and the first verse
oi chapter fourteen.
In chapter twelve Paul had been
writing about various spiritual gifts
which were highly priced IN Corlnth.
Having written at some length about
them. he closed by saying q Cor ~:
3D, "Covet earnestly the best gifts
and yet show | unto you more excel
lent way" Then comes the love song
OF the New Testament. The first
three verses Q-D name the best
gifts" which perhaps one might pos
sess, or unto which one might attain
But they all become insignificant when
compared with love.
The next five verses as give the
reasons for so highly exal,ing love.
They give sixteen wonderful particu-
lars, characteristic OF love Such a
way 81 life as is described in these
verses would indeed be more excellent
than any which acquired or inherent
gifts could open to ones feet
The next four verses (o-I2) show the
limitations OF even the best gifts; limi-
t2tions caused by human mperiec-
tions, by old age (O, by childhood, by
imperfect comprehension OF truth.
The last verse C3) is the climax All
things human fail. Three things re-
main stcadiast. and Of these the great
est is love.

operation for gall stones.
]. Arbuckle was arrested Wednes-
day near Momence on a charge of
stealing $50 of Henry Jones some time
ago. He was brought to Lowell and
lodged in jail, where he camped until
yesterday, when a compromise was
effected, Arbuckle agreeing to work for
Jones until the theft was iquidated.
AS soon as arrested Jimmie owned up
to the theft, and for a few days he had
a bully" time, but some other per-
son relieved him of all the cash he
had, and then the jig was up. Jimmie
is familiar character and has always
been liked and considered an honest
fellow, and his friends are willing to
give him another chance. Booze is his
worst enemy and in a large measure is
considered responsible for his rash act.
Bert Thompson is reported quite Sc
