of Prince Georges County; Hon. F.

president Of the State Tobacco Grow
ers' Association; President r. w.
Sylvester, of the Maryland Agricul-
tural College, and Congressman o. A.
Stanley, Of Kentucky, made adj
dresses.
Congressman Stanley, who moved
his audience to frequent applause,
began bis address by saying that he
was surprised at the utter lack Of or
ganization Of the farmers Of Southern
Maryland in the sale Of their tobacco.
The condition for the sale Of tobacco
is entirely different from the sale of
other products from the fact, he said,
that it is small product confined to
a limited area, as 10 Kentucky and
Tennessee. Continuing, he said:
aWhy can't the tobacco growers
Of Maryland, Kentucky and Virginia
agree in the matter of prices for to-
bacco? 1t is easier for you to con
troll the price than it is for the grow
ers Of the hurley variety to control
the price, from the fact that the bur
ley can be substituted better than
your tobacco. The French Govern
ment has a monopoly on tobacco, Just
as this Government has on whisky.
No man in France can sell his TO-
baecO. The Government does all
hat, and two years ago made out of
t over Ss2,OO0,OOO-purchasing at 8
,ents pound and realizing at from
800 to 81 a pound.
"The trust was at one time as
milestone around the necks of the
Ientuckians, and though poverty and
want prevailed everywhere, and
hough the women add children of
he tobacco districts were in rags, the
rowers determined to better their
ondition by holding their tobacco,
'hich they did until prices went from
to II cents pound aud has been
here ever since. The buyers are
ow paying in Kentucky more for
he inferior grades than they are pay
e you for the best quality If you |
ad competition you would need no |
rganization. One man in the world I
xes the price of tobacco. If there
but one buyer, you need have but
ne seller" The Congressman
'uldn't see the use of an interme-
airy between the seller and the
Eyer and there is no reason, he
inks, for having a commission mer-
lant to do for you what you can do
r yourself. BALTIC. Sun.

a WORTHY MOVE

The Baltimore Sun, few DAYS
AGO, in speaking Of an effort being
made by an organization in New
York City, called the Little Land
League, to have the dependent citi.
zens Of that metropolis remove to
the country, had the following 70
say:
II is the object Of the Little Land
League, of which Mr.. Bolton Hall.
OF 30 Pine street, New York. is the
treasurer, to bring about a realization
OF the advantages of removal to the
country and to aid in it. This object
is an excellent one, and to distribute
poor people in the country where
they are needed, and remove them
from the cities where they are not
needed, would be a national advant-
age and most wholesome and uplift-
ing to the citizenship of the future.
But the good people who engage
in this kind of work frequently fail
as completely to realize the Difficult
ties of the task as the poor people
fail to realize the advantages of the
country. Only the other day
meeting Of the unemployed" was
held in Chicago to devise measures
for relief. The chairman read a let
ter from a farmer in Kane county.
Illinois, offering S25 a month, with
board and lodging, to a man who
would milk his cows. The offer was
received with jeers and derision
Such an offer as this means that a
a man with no one bat himself to
support gets nearly S25 a month
clear and above expenses and that
he can put nearly the whole Of it in
the savings bank There ere few
laborers in any city who
can do this; few typewriters or
young clerks
And yet here were men, UNEMPLOYED
and in distress, rejecting an offer of
comfortable home, plenty of whole
some food and fresh air, with nearly
! dollar day in addition, and pre-
ierring to walk the streets, idle and
n misery.
The Sun is right in declaring that
his class of people fail to grasp
he true situation. II has always
'een a matter of mystery to US why
horde of unskilled, idle, and we
night say miserable, people should
refer to prod the streets of the cities
nd beg for food rather than to re-
move to the country and make a
ubstantial livelihood by tilling the
oil. They must either be ignorant
+ the advantages they would then
ave, or unwilling to leave the din
nd hustle of city life under any con-
itions.
And this is the class Of people !.

Editor THE CHR0EtCLE:
Dear Sir-I would like to write
few lines for your valued paper,
as Camden was the place of my
boyhood and school days. My last
teacher was John Harper. That
was in the years 1871 and 1872.

old schoolmates are still there or
not. | would be glad to receive q
letter from any of them.
| will be fifty years old in next
month. My fathers name was
James t. Elmore, and our home
was at Camden Depot. We left
there in the fall of 1879 and went
to Arkansas, where we lived until
1889. Then | came to Texas. L
could write you great deal about
our splendid State, and may do SO
later. The people here are native
Tennesseans, Georgians, Missis-
sippians and many other States.
| would like to hear from any
one there who knew me in my boy
hood days or knew. my father. L

Ihave relatives in Benton County.

them in many years.
Yours truly,

The Voice of God.

The voice of Godl Behold, his glory speaks
In day and darkness, making Man to know
There is mightiness of power that seeks
To lift him from the shades that lie below!
The voice of God! In sunshine and in shower;
In babbling brook, and in the torrents roar;
So wondrously reciting every hour
The grandeur of a love that must adore
The voice of Godl In nature SO completes;
So varied in it's matchless eloquence,
That whilst we doubt, our raptured souls repeat:
"This is the magic of Omnipotence."
The voice of God Within the secret SOUL
Declaring that for all things made,
And urging him to look beyond that goal
From whence the glory of glory does not fade.
The voice of God! With living promise fraught
To poor, frail man, by siren Sin beguiled.
Hearye His words and count them not for nadght!
II am thy Father, and thou art my child"
The voice of God! Which, like no other voice.
Speaks out to wearness and misery;
"Come unto Me, this is She better choice!
My child, give thee rest come unto Mel"

CHRISTMAS.

Although there are authorities
disputing the correctness of to-
morrow being the natal day of our
blessed Savior, throughout Chri
tendon tomorrow morning the
happy shouts of peace and JOY and
love for mankind will fill the air,
and all the world will feel the thrill
that comes with the perfect love
and perfect confidence embodied
in the blessed Christ--the great
Redeemer of mankind.
Indeed, the day or the month
has very little to do with the true
veneration of the nativity, cherish
ed and kept wherever Christianity
has planted its towering shaft, ex-
empt from the ravages of decay,
and which does not weaken with
the advance of time, but gathers
strength with the ages.
It is the day dedicated to re-
learning the lessons of that great
devotion to the world that shed
about the Gross a radiance that
has spread beyond the limits Of
imagination and lighted mankind
to the throne of God. 1t is typical
of the birth or a spirit whose
charity is SO broad, whose love is
SO deep as to imprint in every hu-
man heart a kind spirit, that, if
not strangled and crushed out,
would sing on forever and forever,
telling over and over again the
story of the birth in Bethlehem
In Judea and OF the Cross-the
story that is ever new and ever
wonderfull
The CHRONICLE is confident that
in this Christian community of
Camden, this spirit Of charity and
love will spread it's white wings
over all, and many heart that is
not used to soft notes of sympathy,
will hear it's sweet music and re-
joice.
To each one of It's readers The
CHRONICLE wishes Merry, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
1t wonld assure them that happi-
ness may be plucked from the
future as surely as it was found in
the past, and the old year brought
much to everyone. Then, in lay
ing the old friend in the grave of
time, let US go forth determined to
do more for our ourselves and for
our fellow men, and the new year
will, indeed, be as bright as the
sunshine when the sacred Christ
mastide has fioated away npon the
ocean of eternity and we only hear
upon its gentle waves as a harp or
the rustic Of angels's wings the
sweet refrain, "Peace on earth and
good will to men,"

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among its anec- dotes two which deal with Hookhan Frere and the absentmindedness for which he was noted. Frere married Lady Errol, and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took her back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from the church to MT. Murray, the pub. fisher, who asked him to stay to din, ner, to which he very nearly agreed remembering only just in time that Lady Errol was waiting to start on the honeymoon"
