STILL HAULING CANE.
Steady Procession from Piper PIanta-
ton to Railroad.

The passage of chug chugging gas
oline traction engines through town
each one pulling a train of six two
wheeled carts loaded to overlooking
with sugar cane is again causing con
siderable excitement among home
seekers and small boys as it did be
fore the rain. The carts and engines
belong to the Ohio-Texas Sugar com
pany They have been hauling cane
from the Piper Plantation five and
a half miles from town to a loading
station nearthe freight depot where
the cane arranged in big bundles
held together by chains, are trans
ferred by means of a derrick to
racker fiat cars for shipment to the
Ohio and Texas company mill
Four trains of carts, twenty-four
in all, holding about ton and a
half each, and twenty-one big wag-
Ons drawn by mule teams, holding
two tons and more each, are being
used to haul the crop from the plan
tstion to the track.
More than two hundred acres of
cane yet remain to be cut and hauled
which means several weeks work
ahead for traction engines and mules.

State Road Work.

Two features in the work of the State
than ordinary attention. One is the plan
of selecting widely separated sections in
which contracts are let and the work
carried on; the other is the apparent
difference in cost in the various localities
when it is understood the character of the
work and its dimensions are materially
the same.
In speaking of the divergent sections
now being improved Chairman Tucker, of
the commission explained it by saying
that the commission was eager to show
all the people what was in view. When
it was decided to start the work this could
only be satisfactorily done by letting
favorable contracts as they were submitted,
whether the location was in the eastern,
the middle or the western section of the
State.
I'VE have aimed to work in the begin
ming as close to the county seat as possi-
ble," he said. 'We wanted to have
something to show all the citizens of our
purpose, and we appreciated the fact that
all the residents would sooner or later go
to the county seats, either for businessNor
pleasure. This would give everyone a
chance to inspect what had been done and
to pass judgment on it.
'In the contracts it will be noted that
we are working out from one county seat
as central point and always toward an
other. This is SO in every county except
Cecil. Therer we are taking the line of
travel which strikes US as being most
desirable, and also because some bridge
work is to be encountered which we want
to see hurried along to be in shape for use
when the roads are ready.
Every section of road let is to be fully
completed and not subject to damage at
either end PeRdingNits jpncture with any
uncompieted portion.
"We will push the construction SO long
as the weather conditions permit. When
frost or snow comes all labor will have to
be suspended, but we will see to il that
every completed portion is reinforced and
protected from all danger and in perfect
safety for use under any weather condi-
tons for either heavy or light hauling"

John G. Woolley, former Presidential
candidate on the Prohibition ticket, in
an address before the Sunday Evening
Club, of Chicago, took the ground that
the dry party has outlived its useful
ness and that the saloons can only be
driven out by the united efforts OF
Christian people of all parties.
''The Prohibition party did magnificent
work for WHILE" said Mr.. Woolley, "but
the trouble got to be that there were FIVE
times as many Prohibitionists in the
Democratic party as in the Prohibition
party, and several more times as many OF
them in the Republican party.
I'VE are going to win this fight" he
continued, land if you men are afraid to
jump into politics and tackle the saloon,
for Gods sake enfranchise your women
and let them do it,"

The Bel Air Times is not in accord with
the change of program in regard to the
Farmers Institutes, as will be seen by
the following paragraph:
THE management of Farmers Insti.
tutes has been placed in the hands of a
committee of the Board of Trustees of the
Agricultural College aud radical change
of policy inangurated. A new feature is
to hold Institutes throughout the year
and not at seasons most convenient for
the farmers. Outside speakers are black
listed and the new policy coutemplates
drawing on the staff of instructors of the
College to engage in continual round of
lecture tours. Farmers may we'll ask,
Who will instruct our sons at College
while the Professors are on lecture
toursP Ifthe management of the Insti-
tutes is to be taken out of the hands of
Director Amos the farmers would like to
know at least, why, and further that it
be placed in the hands of practical men
with ideas broader than a pin point.
There is strong suspicion that the new
order is for junketine purposes more than
the real benefit of the farmers for whom
Institutes have been established along
the most approved lines in many of the
progressive States. Maryland farmers
would do well to keep close tab on this
new move"

Congress convened at Washington on
Monday and President Taft's first annual
message, synopsis of which will he
found elsewhere, was read before both
houses on Tuesday.
The message, after its editing by the
Cabinet, contained some 1900 words,
and, it is remarked, leaves more unsaid
than said in regard to recommendations
for radical legislation. One notable fea-
ture, that favoring the establishment of
postal savings banks, a policy much
favored by the people, it is certain will
never be carried out as long as the Aldrich
and Cannon stripe of statesmen are per-
mitted to shape legislation, and only such
recommendation as find favor with these
worthless will Congress consider.
As our Washington correspondent,
who contributes weekly letters to our
columns, says, half dozen Senators
and Representatives of the type mention
ed have controlled legislation for the past
dozen years or more, and may be able to
control it a few months longer, but the
progressive wing of the party as repre-
scented by the so-called insurgents" is
fast rallying support to its standard and
cannot much longer be held in check by
Cannon and other obstructionists, who
are striving desperately to retain their
grip on Congress, but see their utter and
6naloverthrow in the not distant future.

There is much talk about central
bank system, and the great bankers tell
you that it is the only thing to prevent
panics. They told you that the credit
strengthening act would prevent panics-
and it didn't. They told you the demon
itization of silver would prevent panics-
but it didn't. Then they told You the
gold standard would prevent panics-but
it didn't. Then they told you various
other fairy tales-but they didn't work.
Every act has given the banks more
power and greater profits-and that is
what they are working for. This is the

are using every means, fair and foul,
