RETIRES AFTER 40 YEARS.
Martin L. FOgle, as Foreman of Section
10 of w. M. r. r, Co.

Martin L. Fogle, of Detour, Md, who
for the past 80 years has been in con-
tinuous employ of the Western Mary
land Railroad at that place, will be re-
lieved shortly at his request, and be
assigned to other duty with the COM
pany in Baltimore, Md. A few years
after the close of the Civil War, in
which he enlisted in Company B,
Seventh Regiment, Maryland Volun-
teers, at Frederick, Md, upon the call
of President Lincoln, he entered the
service Of the company as an employe.
Faithful always, and with that dis
play OF interest for the welfare of
employer, and incidentally, to protect
by all human means those persons
travelling over the section of the track
which he supervised, proved his abil-
ity to the degree that not serious
accident marred his term of service
there. Starting as he did, compare
tivIy as young man, ne saw many OF
the older school come and go, among
whom was Gen. ]. M. Hood, whom he
relied upon as particular friend
Mr.. Fogle has served as foreman alone
for 80 years on what is known as
Section No. TO- Covering distance
of five miles, between Middleburg,
Md, and Rocky Ridge, Md. His per-
sonal pride in relating the hardships
of his half-year confinement in Libby
and Andersonville Prisons, where he
was taken after capture in the Battle
of the Wilderness, do not compare
with his experiences IN the long and
constant danger of the rail for nearly
40 wears

Echoes.

Mr. Arthur took charge of the
Registers Office Monday Mr. Harry
Rinehart, his brother-in-law, is his
chief deputy.
And the gun wasn't loaded, so Jeff
came back.
Great crowds to hear the trial of
Sellers. And Dick OwingS wore his
most serious and hes1tating express
sion as he tried to preserve order and
the purity of the atmosphere.
Apparently no one wants to be
a deputy now under Mr.. Gilbert. Mr..
Reed has also declined this response
BILE position.
Mr. Thomas J. Gum, is now en-
gagged in recording deeds for Mr.. Gill
bert. Wasn't there something said
about mo Democrats we're fit to serve
under a Republican p And didn't
the corridors reverberate with echoes
of I'VE won't now?" Funny isn't?
Benjamin F. Stansbury occupies the
chair in the County Commissioners
office formerly held down by Mr.. Fink.
Mr.. Brown is the President of the
3oard and Mr.. Fink has moved up.
Edward O. Dodrer is now TreaSur-
er We predict that he will prove as
popular and as efficient an officer as
Mr.. Hahn. 1t will be impossible for
him to be better.

ance Commissioner Benz. F. Grouse

SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY.
Held in the NJ. E. Church, Westmin-
Ster-Fair Attendance,

A most interesting rally of the Sun
day schools of that part of Carroll
county, known as Westminster Dis
trict, comprising the election districts
of Westminster, Woolery's and New
Windsor, was held in, the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Westminster, Sun
day afternoon and evening, December
5.
While the attendance from the
schools out of town was not as large
as was hoped for, number were rep
resented and at night the auditorium
was packed.
The afternoon addresses were by
Rev. S. G. Hoover, of Silver Run;
Jesse Garner, of LinWood, and G. w.
Yeiser, of Union Mills, president of
Carroll County Sunday School Associ-
alton.
Mr.. Hoover emphasized the need of
trained teachers for our schools and
Mr.. Garner spoke of the value OF
proper training in the child in the
home. Mr.. Yeiser spoke OF the Sun
day school as an evangelizing agency.
In the evening Charles E. Ecker, of
Baltimore, vice president of the Bal
timore Sunday School Association,
spoke on Sunday School Possibili-
ties,'' illustrating his remarks by a
most helpful diagram on the black
board, explaining the modern method
of grading a school and the new
graded lessons now recommended by
the International Sunday School AS
sociation.
Charles w. Dorsey, president OF the
Maryland Sunday School Association,
followed with an enthusiastic address
on the Importance of interesting the
young in the great world wide evan
gelistic movement now being pushed
by the Laymen's Missionary Move
ment.
Special efforts are being made at
this time to get complete statistical
report of all the schools in the county,
and attention is hereby called to any
superintendents who have received
these blanks and have not as yet re-
turned them to do so.

Accidentally Shot.

David, 11-year-old son of Andrew
Spencer, near this city, was accident
ally shot Monday by his cousin, Asper
Fitze, who was visiting the Spencers,
went rabbit hunting with David.
rabbit was started and Spencer
shot and killed it. Fitze fired also,
but the entire load of shot struck
David in the hip, penetrating to the
bone and glancing around to the front.
The boy was not more than feet
from the muzzle of the gun when 1t
was discharged and inflicted an ugly
wound. David was carried home by
his father, a distance of half a mile.
The shock seemed to bewilder him
as he did not entirely recover his
mental equilibrium until Wednesday
morning. He is attended by DR.. H.
M Fitzhugh, who has removed a
norton of the shot, and reports
the young man as on a fairway for
recovery.

Ii you so desire we will have some
one from our office present at your
meeting to explain this change in full !;
also it you adopt same we will be
present to inaugurate the system.
We feel sure you will appreciate
the necessity for change in your
office methods, and in offering these
suggestions we have outlined a plan
that is exceedingly simple, but which
at the same time will serve your every
need, and not take more time in keep
ing the books up to date than the plan
now in use. Respectfully submit
ted, Baltimore Audit Company.
ELMER L. Halter, C.. P. A.
Secretary
Approved. John Kuchler, V. Pres.
A representative of the Company
was present, and after some discuss
ion of the system proposed, the re-
port was approved and it was instruct
ed to install it's system at once, ac-
counting from the first of November
1t was also decided that a balance
sheet, showing the current assets and
liabilities of the town be made at the
end of each month. The clerk was
directed to publish in both papers
the balance sheet accompanying the
report showing the financial condition
on November 1st, and it appears on
the 4th page of this paper
An examination of this balance
sheet shows that the town is in debt
about $1S,000.00 as the 100000 or
more of taxes which are assets, must
be utilized for the current expenses
of the town during the coming year
and cannot be employed in extin-
gushing the present Indebtedness,
except as to the sinking fund. The
present council, has always set aside
the 10 per cent levy, required by law
for the reduction of the bonds of the
town, and the fact that there will not
be enough money in the treasury to
redeem the $6,000.00, of bonds due
July next is owing to the failure of
preceding councils to obey the law.
The present Indebtedness is the ac-
emulation of years, and the Mayor
and Council are to be commended for
having the books audited, so that a
statement could be made to the public,
showing the exact condition of affairs.
They have accomplished a great deal
during the eighteen months of their
service, having in the last year, with
out practically expending any more
money than their predecessors, put in
a large number of concrete cutters
and made other permanent improve

Caused Horse to Run Off.
For the Advocate.

For the Advocate.
On Saturday last while Edgar
Pickett and his mother were return
ing home fmom Berrett two young
men drove up behind them yelling for
half the road, whipping and slashing
their horse, which frightened Pick
ett's horse, causing it to run away.
After the frightened animal ran about
a quarter of mile it dashed through
a gateway at William Bowers, leaving
it's persuers pass, land not injuring any
one. Afterward the young men came
back laughing and driving at great
speed, not realizing in what danger
they were putting pedestrians. Such
young men as these should be dealt
with severely by law, and parents
rearing young men with such little
respect toward elderly and blind peo-
pie should not be allowed to go on the
public highways with team on Sun
day evenings in civilized country.

Beaten and Robbed

Saturday William Burns, a hay man
from South Fork, came into town with
a few dollars and proceeded to spend it
at the saloons He fell in with two
men and run with them until late
Sunday night when they concluded to
take what money Burns had left and
spend it themselves. When the three
were in front of the Elko hotel, Burns
was knocked down with club or some
other weapon and badly beaten about
the head and back. When he came to
himself, his money, 80 in gold and
silver, hat, handkerchief and pocket
knife were missing. The robbery was
reported to the sheriff's office and
Monday morning Deputy Sheriff Hardin
arrested Eugene Cooper for the crime.
Burns was 80 badly injured that he
was taken to the county hospital.
Cooper was taken before Burns yester-
day and positively identified as one of
the men who robbed him. The officers
have avery meagre description of the
other tam and his capture is doubtful.
COOPER Is dope fend. One report is
that he borrowed 81 Of Burns to buy
dope with and Burns demanded. the
change back. A quarrel resulted and
Burns was beaten and robbed. This is
not, the first time Cooper has been in
trouble here. He stabbed another fiend
q few years ago. Last evening he plead
not guilty to the complaint filed by
District Attorney Taber and his ex.
animation was continued until Burns
is able to appear.
