Mr.. Stanley a Candidate for Congress.

Mr.. Charles H. Stanley, on being
asked as to his candidacy for Congress,
announces that he is a candidate sub
iecu to the decision of the Democracy
of the district; but as it is yet unset
tied as to whether it is to be by a dir
,ect primary or by convention, he has
kept quiet except to say "as matters
stood he was candidate, that he pre-
fers to be a candidate and let the Dem
cc1atic people select in direct primary,
where he and others can stand on THEN
own merits and own claims, rather than
have faction fights which may ultimate
ly injure or defeat the party; believing
the true interest of the Democratic
party is to nc inmate the man who cali
lest unite the party when nominated
and best serve the people if elected,
and he will submit his claims and abide
the issue, whatever it may be. That
as he has served his party for over
forty years, never pressed himself for
any office, withdrawn for others and
then did all he could for them and the
arty, he feels he ought not to be,
and is not afraid, to submit his claims
to any fair Democratic convention, nc
matter how the primaries are held, and
feels assured he will be treated with
the same consideration he has extended
to all as one in the ranks. He thinks
there is every reason to believe united
Democracy will carry the next House
of Representatives and he believes that
aim should be above the selfish ambi-
tion of any man.

Meeting of Grange

At very large meeting of Montgom-
cry county Pomona Grange No. Z, held
at Olney on April 28th, the following
resolution was passed:
Resolved, That we urge members of
Congress to endorse and support the
measure now pending, known as Ben
nett Bill H. r. 1O762, providing for
Limited Parcels Post for the follow
ing reasons
because we believe its enactment
will place the rural delivery service on
a paying basis, as well as provide for
the safe transportation of articles in
sections remote from express or rail-
road service; because to facilitate such
service rapid and thorough improve
ment of country roads will become
much more essential; because it will
benefit not only farmers in the exchange
of goods in their communities, but will
enable country merchants to supply
their customers at small expense with
many articles which they do not regu-
larly carry in stock, as well as provide
convenient means of delivery in their
regular trade, and because it will en-
able farmers in busy seasons to secure
the safe and prompt delivery of repairs
and supplies of little value in them
selves, but indispensable to the success
full handling of his crop, the lack of
which may delay work for days-a de-
lay apt to result in failure or loss of
profit.
w. Lecturer Taliaferro urged MEM
bers, men and women, to take an ac-
tive interest in their local school affairs
and get the full benefit of the new
school law. At College Park they have
formed a "School Improvement Asso-
ciation."
Mr.. Howe, of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, spoke on Agricultural
Clubs in public schools, which are we'll
organized in many of the States, and
are very valuable in teaching children
to observe natural conditions, insects
etc., to apply scientific methods, to
keep accounts, to plot out land, to plan
simple buildings, to cooperate in effort
and to use parliamentary rules. Dom
estic science work is being pushed now
in some of the states, where girls take
their brood etc., to Farm Institutes and
a half day is given to their work.
The next meeting will be at Liberty
Grove the last Thursday in July.

May, Be Double Murder

Mr.. John T. Miller and his wife, Mrs.
Frances A. Miller, were burned to
death when their store at Accokeek,
this county, was burned late Sunday
night. Mr.. Miller had a dislike for
banks, and usually kept large sum
with him. Whether it is murder or
an accident coroner's jury has been
unable to decide.
Mr.. Miller and his wife used the sec
ond floor of the store for bedroom.
T he bodies we've found after the fire
was out.
AS Mr.. Miller had no confidence in
banks, he carried his money on his per-
son, and it developed at the inquest
that he had about 81, 400 or $3.50 on
hi m at the close of business Saturday
night.
1t is not known whether they were
murdered and robbed or whether the
tile was accidental.
The store and stock were valued at
about 81, 500; no insurance. Mr.. Miller
leaves a brother, Thomas, besides many
relatives in Baltimore, Washington
and Virginia.
He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity, being member of B. b.
French Lodge, Washington, D. c.
The general impression at Accokeek
is that they were murdered. Sheriff
Sweeney and Deputy Sheriff Suit are
investigating the case.

Marsland's Wheat Corp Nations Best

In crop statement issued Tuesday
morning by the Department or Agri'
culture it is shown that Maryland 8
wheat crop is in better condition than
that of any other State in the Union.
The crop is, of course, not the largest,
but there is smaller per cent. of its
acreage abandoned than any other
wheat producing State can show. Just
per cent. of the winter wheat crop
is in bad condition.
The State shows, further, that there
are 794, 900 acres of Maryland in wheat
which is greater acreage than shown
by any other Southern State, except
Tennessee and Texas. This is slightly
more wheat than was reported in Mary
land by the Department last year.
Maryland's rye crop is also discussed in
the statement, but the acreage is not
given. The condition of the crop is
placed at .92, which is slightly under
the condition of rye last year as this
time.

COTTON MARKET IS VERY IRREGULAR Close Is 2 Points Lower to 10
 Points Higher SELLING VERY GENERAL Liquidation and Bczr Pressure Is En- courased By Favorable Weather
 and Prices Drop With
 Late Rally
SELLING VERY GENERAL

New York, May 27.-A sharp early de- cline was followed by an even sharper
 advance in today's cotton market and the
 close was steady, net ? points lower to 10 points higher, near months being rel
 ativey firm, just as they were relatively
 easier on the early break.
 The opening was steady at an advance
 of points on May, which was influenced
 by covering and firmer cables, but gen.
 erally ? to points lower under a renewal of liquidation and local bear pressure
 which was encouraged by the favorable
 weather meg and by continued rumors
 of selling by Chicago bull interests. The old crop movements soon broke to a net loss of about 10 to IS points with July selling off to 4.60c, or 66 points below
 the highest level of Monday and points
 under the low figures of last week But it was soon seen that May notices. esti-
 mated at about 15,00O bales. were being
 stopped very promptly by the same bull fish interests who had taken up cotton
 previously this month
 This seemed to inspire fresh confidence in the strength of the old crop and the
 market firmed up before midday on cover ing, renewed bull support led by the New Orleans traders and buying of July by
 one of the big spot interests. There was some irregularity during the middle of the day, but generally speaking the market held very steady and became
 particularly firm in the last hour, when
 July contracts sold at 1495c or B points
 above the low level of the morning The close was only a little off from the best
 under realizing sales. The western belt forecast for unsettled and showery
 weather probably helped the market somewhat, although generally speaking the weather was favorable. The New York market will be closed until Tuesday morning, but Liverpool
 and New Orleans will be open. It was
 rumored late in the day that the national ginners' report would show a condition little above 80 per cent The government S condition and acreage figures are ex- pected next Thursday.

WHEAT MARKET IS
 STILL VERY WEAK
Prices Recover Somewhat But
 Gain Is Small
CLOSING TONE IS WEAK
Sharply and Is Irregular at Close. Oats Are Irregular and
 Provisions Higher

Chicago, May 27-The nightmare con- afternoon 10 a large degree. Light sed- atives in the way of cash purchases by milling interests helped steady the overwrought nerves of the speculators Belief spread also that big holdings had all been unloaded or at least so re- duced no longer to form an immedi- ate menace. Final figures, however, all though sharply above the low point of the day, were hc to ss4s4c under the previous close for new crop features and 2s4 csc down for May. Corn finished un- changed to 1ssc off and oats ssc lower to is@1c higher. Provisions scored an ad- vance of 15D471sc.
 The first calming influence in the wheat pit was an authorized announcement from the defeated leader of the bulls that statements regarding his holdings of wheat, as well as his losses, had been greatly exaggerated Later came a sur prise from an unexpected direction. Brok- CTS acting for the firm with which he was connected were found to be bidding up the price of corn in the teeth of the fact that demoralzation at the time was unchecked in wheat. and that there was visible evidence of heavy selling of wheat by foreigners in this market
 The situation indeed seemed for while bugbear that was leading to semi panic. Early indications appeared to point to continuation Of the big smash Of yesterday. The liquidation, however, though severe, was found as the day wore ons to be of a belated sort. with gooG buying on the declines. Then came Information of better milling call for cash wheat here. There was much covering by smaller shorts, who had sold early. frightened by the thought of another day or general wreck. In the final quarter of an hour there was some recession from the return of comparative firmness, and the tone at the close was weak. Sep- tember had range between 91lsc and 927sc, finishing at sf1kc May closed at s1o24, decline of 2s4Qsc.
 Corn started out weak was bid m sharply for effect upon wheat, and then declined on liquidation of miscellaneous accounts. The trade in wheat was not

New Orlean. Cotton Market

New Orleans May 27.-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of to points. Cables were about as expect ed but short selling was generally on a good weather map. Bears were ag gressive in the first half hour of trad | ing and did much talking to the ef- feet that the bull clique was beginning to feel the weight of the big load of spot cotton it is being forced to carry. After the call prices fell off sharp lily. August being the weakest month | At the end of the first half hour of | trading August was 20 points down. July IS down and the new crop months were 10 to II down.
 Around the middle of the morning the market took opl better tone as the result of forecast of rainy weath- CT for the western cotton belt The light sight movement for the week, 7I323 bales against 133,6S7 last year, also helped. Prices rose 10 points from the lowest of the morning the old crop months and 5 to points on the new crops.
 A feature of the news of the day was the cabled report from Liverpool that the wage dispute between mas ters and operatives in the Lancas shire mill district had been postponed for these months. This was taken by the bulls to mean that mills were under OrueTS TOT at least that period and were unwilling to bring about an open rupture with their hands at the pres ent time.
 At noon the market was quiet to points under yesterdays closing on the old crops and to 6 under the new.
 The market strengthened in the aft ernoon session chiefly on buying by shorts. who were nervous over the triple holidays in the New York mar ket. Little cotton was for sale around the ring and soon after the lunch hour the decline of the morning was en- tirely recovered. At o'clock the mar ket stood to points over yesterdays closing on the more active months. July exhibited the most strength and ad- vanced to 14,90c, a level points over yesterdays last quotations and q points up from the lowest of the day.
 The close was steady at net ad- vance of l point on July and a net decline of to points on the oth- CT active months.
