SWANTON.

-
Such, Mr.. Editor, as live in the scope
of Swanton reaches are, don't you
know, always doing the right thing.
Last Sunday, April 10th, 1910, members
of the Lutheran persuasion, aided by
many friends, met in the Fort Hill"
school building and welded substantial
and working machinery for Sunday
school with an encouraging prospective.
The denomination fostering its grip in
the community, has laid the foundation
and placsd some of the lumber for a
church not far from the school house.
The hum of a suddenly introduced in
dustry is daily ringing IN Swanton. Did
you hear, Mr.. Editor, that her chief
street isto have an additionalr railway and
that civil engineers are daily at work,
making crooked ways straight and,rough
places smooth, for the construction of
third link, not with Oakland, but with
Piedmont?
Mr.. George Oss, at his plant below
Swanton, recently had valuable lumber
DESTROYED by forest fires, beginning, it
is thought, from the tracks of the B. &
y. R. R.
Mr.. Harry Fraley, who for more than
year has filled a position in the Swan
ton telegraph office, has accepted an
appointment by the same company as
operator at Rawlings, Md.
Published announcement in THE RE-
PUBLICAN, of the death in Fitzgerald,
Georgia, of the Rev. j. B. Shoup. is re-
ceived with deep regret by no small
part of the Garrett population, where
he was well known and highly regarded.
From CARROTS earliest days this popu-
lar Lutheran minister has been closely
identified in a broad sense with most
every religious and temperance move
ment of the county. He was a man of
liberal learning, with enviable natural
gifts, and has long been looked upon
as a familiar patriarch of these noun
talns imbued with the ancient faith,
breaking the gospel message and de-
claring glad tidings to men. Mr.. Shoup
was largely instrumental in establishing
a number of places of religious worship
in Garrett, among which is the Meadow
Mountain church, built chiefly by saw
and hammer in his hands; and beyond
doubt the zeal of this man brought to-
gether the little congregation above
mentioned as opening a Sunday school
at Fort Hill and now beginning a church
in that vicinity, 1t infcts a strain upon
realization to believe that, in his Gus
tomary walks and ways, we are never to
see his face again. RELLIM.

PROGRESSIVE MARYLAND.

Several Maryland towns secured en-
abling acts during the recent session of
the legislature, authorizing bond issues
for the pun pose of providing funds for
one kind or another Of municipal better
ments. 1t is pleasant to note the pro-
gressive spirit that is being manifested
by practically every municipal com
munity within the State. Lighting
plants, water works, and in some in
stances, underground sewers, have been
constructed, and in some of the larger
towns streets haye been paved with
asphalt or vitifed brick. There are
few towns in Maryland where abound
ing demonstrations of lively and prac-
ticaly effective civic pride are not to be
found. And in most instances this
spirit of betterment does not stop at
schemes of utility. Identification ideals
are continually being brought to realiza-
ton.
Many Maryland towns have a history
that dates back of the Revolutionary
War. Some of the Court House towns
have documentary records of great in
terest antedating the Revolution by a
hundred years or more. Quaint build
ings that have come down from Colonial
days are frequently to be encountered,
and IN some instances there are entire
streets lined with these venerable struc-
lures maintaining a traditional dignity
that calmly ignores the more preten-
tious modern structures that have
sprung up along the newer avenues.
These ancient streets of the MARYLAND
towns, with their spreading century-old
trees, haye restful charm; they seem
to be apart from the active, rushing
modern life.
In many of the towns civic better
ment organizations have from time to
time been formed and though some of
these, after a brief period Of active per-
Torrance have Eeen allowed to lapse,
the good which they did while alive and
active, has lived after them. By such
civic movements, trees have from time
to time been planted along the residen-
tial streets, public squares have been
beautifed by the erecting Of fountains,
and the planting of shrubbery. Every
town ought to have a Identification
club and such organizations should not
be allowed to lapse into torpitude or in
difference.

Struck By Train.

Last Sunday morning an east bound
helping engine on tbs Seventeen Mile
Grade, while descending the mountain
from Altamont, ran down two Italian
workmen, who were employed on con-
struction work along the road. One of
the men was knocked from the track
against the embankment and was not
seriously injured. The other, however,
was not so fortunate, as he fell beneath
the wheels of the locomotive and had
his right leg so severely crushed as to
necessitate amputation, which was per
formed at the Hoffman Hospital, Key
ser, a few hours after the accident oc-
CURED.

Virginia the District of Columbia and Mary
land have the holly habit. The holly has grown
here in profusion from the day that no man
knows, but it will not continue to grow unless
there is reform in habit and in law. The
negroes bring to Washington great branches of
the holly hacked from the parent stem with
darby disregard for saving anything. The hoi-
ly trees are among the chief beauties of the
Potomac hills. They are going the way of 9TH
er trees of the Appalachian range, and before
long It will be necessary for the lawmakers to
follow the lead of the Massachusetts legislat-
ure which was compelled to intervene to save
the trailing arbutus, the mayfower, from the
hand of the vandal.
No part of the country perhaps can claim
monopoly of the natural beauties of the sea-
son, but there is a glow about Christmas in
this semi-southern country that is not found
in the colder north. 1t may be the glow of ex-
ternals only, but 1t appeals to the eye and to
the sympathy. Out-ofdoors there are contrasts
in the Potomac regions that not to be
found farther north except in sections where
the evergreens abound. The mountains are
white topped, and below them in the valleys
are the dark green's of the holly, the laurel and
the wild honeysuckle, and the dark browns of
the oaks whose leaves do not fall before the
spring comes.
Scattered through the country south of
Washington old plantation homes still oc-
cupied by the families who have held them

to be a general belief in the north that most
of these old places are forsaken and desolate,
but there are many, more than the city dwell
er knows, still remaining prosperous and show
ing scarcely trace of change as the result of
age.
1t was said the other day by an old south
erner in Washington that no home-loving Vir-
ginian ever would move until after the next

But that is because it has passed
through the slough of slavery, which
was serfdom, in literal fact.
At any rate, the custom goes back
at least to the sweetest and most

came first into being when serfdom
was England's common law, when the
lord of castle and of keep was seren-

munificent turn, gave them lordly lar

YACHTS AGAIN
BEAT SPANISH BOATS

Marblehead. Mass. Aug. IS. -
America again defeated Spain today
in the Sender yacht races off this
port, three American boats leading
their foreign rivals at the finish. The
Harpoon. which took the first race
of the series yesterday, again carried
off the honors today with the Gina a
close second and the Beaver third.
The Spanish yacht Chonta at one
time during the race led the entire
fleet. She not only pushed the Amer
lear boats hard, but astonished her
rivals by maintaining her place prin-
cipally through her use of the bal
loon iib in beating to windward. This
departure from yachting precedent
set the American yachtmen to scratch
ing their heads over what may prove
a valuable innovation.
The elapsed time of today's race
follows:
Harpoon ~CAmerican) 2:25.33.
