New Enterprise.

THE following Item is from the
Franklin Mills correspondent, of the
Hancock Star and appeared in that
newspaper recently. Our readers will
have to be the Judge of the merits oi
the article, as the NEWS does not
possess any inside information, and
1t has been fooled so often on pro.
posed enterprise in Fulton county,
that it would not risk taking stock In
the new organization, at least, until
the first excursion reaches Needmore:
The clipping says: "A COM
pany Is beng organized with a
capital of $500, ,000 for the purpose
of dredging the Tonoloway creek
from Hancock to Need more. 1t

the city of Needmore about 200
feet above sea level. An elevator
will then be built to convey the
passengers to the top. Cedar
trees will be planted along the
canal. Sixteen screw propellers
will be purchased by the COM
pany. Four hotels will be built
in Needmore and SIX in Hancock,
1t Is thought that IN ten years
Hancock illextend to Needmore.
Traffic on the 9. & o. Canal will
be doubled. There will be more
pleasure boats than freight. Six
extra passenger trains will be
run daily on the Western Mary
land Railroad. Lumb ber will ad.
vance to $40 per thousand, labor
will be $5 90 per day, and last
but not least, great newspaper
will be founded at Needmore,
which will be called the Gospel
Gouger. Why Is this canal be-
ing constructed?I So that tour
lists from Washington, New York,

The spreading of elections over
two or more weeks. and some
other methods of British political
campaigns do not commend them
selves to Americans, but there is
one thing about their elections
many consider an advantage over
ours, and that is the calling of
the new parliament almost i'm
mediately after the elections,
whereby the members meet to
directly reflect the verdict of the
electorate. In this country con-
gress, unless 1T is called in speci-
al session, does not meet until a
year after it is chosen during
which time 1t Is possible for many
changes of opinion to take place.
The last Of the British elections
was held February 10, and the
new parliament meets the midle
of this month.

Life Is full of compensatlons.
The poor man who has TO work
hard may envy the rich man who
does not work. But it is a mis-
take, for the poor man, for the
reason he does have to work, Is
healthier, more contented and far
happier than the rich drone who
does his utmost to kill time be-
cause he does not have to work

Last Friday morning, Wilbur
Sipes, not having any work press
ing his attention, shouldered
his old axe and started out for a
days sport. He proceeded to
ALVIN Straits, and told the latter
that he knew where they could
find some polecat tracks. Alvin
was right IN for anything of that
kind, and the two boys, with the
axe and their old dog Sport, were
soon vending their way toward
Scrub Ridge mountain. Sure
enough, Wilbur was able to pro
duce the promised tracks, and
Sport took the trail, and was not
long IN letting the boys know that
the only thing they had to do was
to come and get their game. AL.
most out of breath, the boys came
to the den, and old Sport was do
ing his best to tell the boys that
the mountain was just full of
skunks. One thing, at least, they
were sure of, and that was, that
the air was blue with the odor of
those little ANIMALS. But that
did not make any difference to
the enthusiastic hunters, and
they applied their old axe and I'm
provised crowbars made out of
wood, and soon had a hole large
enough for Sport to get In. In
went old Sport, and out he came
with polecat No. l, which he soon
dispatched. Then back he went
and returned with No. 2. This
one met the same fate as did No.
l, and when the boys were about
to start home with their game,
Sport just went back, and for
good luck brought third one
the best of all. This cleaned the
patch, and the boys started for
a dealer In furs. When they got
home for dinner they had ten dol
lars and eighty cents to the good.

Last night both teams played bet
ter than they did in the second game
but there is still lots of room for
improvement. The Marines several
times came near scoring, but their
lack of team work lost them tbs
chance to get easy goals. The Prin-
cess team were much faster than the
boys from! Camp Very, but they also
lacked that team work which is alb
.solutely necessary in any game.
Captain Freitas and Forrest in
the first half played the best games
for the Princess team, but in the Sec

ofiiciated as umpire, was very i'm
