1t is true that Elkton does not

water, and lighting plants, have good
roads leading into them, and beth
have successful hotels. which is always

changed hands several times within

What Is The Matter With Elkton? i?

A recent issue OF the Cecil Demo-
crat made the statement editorially,
that not new industry had bean es-
tablshed in Elkton in ten years. that
no houses were being built, and that
the town is standing still If not going
backward.
While we do not question the inter
est the editor takes in the town, and
feel sure he has no other des're than
to see it prosper, still we think The
conditions here are not so uniavora-
Bile as he stated. Elkton has never
been known as manufacturing CEN
ter, and is not likely to be in the near
future, but we think the conditions
here may be more favorably stated.
Of the established industries hecc, the
Pulp Mill Company three, or four
years since, expended substantial
amount Grom $4,000 to $7sooo) on
their plant enlarging it, and aSl;ne
new machinery, and have largely in
creased the output over ten years ago.
The Barge Building plant has also
been steadily extending its facilities
and output. The Fertilizer Company
IN 1900 doubled its capital and spent
$4,000 in a Suphuric Acid Piant
which was new industry here. Since
then, $4,000 has been expended on
the plant in extension, and the out
put doubled since the year 1000 The
Powers Foundry Co. built an entire
new plant in 1902, which represents
over $4,000, and has quite recently
added steel making to this Aourishing

CONSIDER
r. FRANK R. SCOTT, "

M for the WHIG, of this date. !.
A'A very fair and just statement
of Elkton's industrial situation, by way
of reioinder to recent editorial of
the Cecil Democrat Mr.. Scott is EVIL
IDENTIFY not seeking controversy, but
only that the public should have an
accurate and fair statement of the situ-
alton We are quite certain that the
Democrat did not mean to be unfair,
but its editorial exposed the town to
some degree OF misjudgment. We are
glad to give publicity to Mr.. Scott's
statement of the matter. At the same
time one must somewhat sympathize
with the purpose OF the Democrats
editorial, ii that purpose was simply
to arouse our community to better
appreciation of our opportunities and
a more vigorous spirit OF industrial
enterprise. Mr.. Scott's article makes
it plain that what industries we have
can show a most encouraging record
of prosperity and enlargement. That
fact ought to stimulate our efforts to
increase the number of such enter
prises. We have always felt that Elk
ton is exceptionally well located for
industrial establishments. ii we are
not securing them as rapidly as we
should, either by local capital or by
outside capital. it is quite in order to
ask ourselves the reason why. Recog-
nizing that which has been accomplish
ed, without being content herewith, it
would be gratifying to see our people
reaching out to larger things.
