STANLEY AND RAY
No Other Democratic Candidates In The
Fifth

Charles II. Stanley and ]. Enos
Ray, Jr., both of Prince George s
county, are the only Democratic can
didates whose names will be placed
upon the official ballot to be Voted
upon at the primary on August 80
for the nomination for Congress in
the Fifth district.
The time limit has expired, and
neither JamAs W. Owens nor Edward
B. Owens, of this county, who were
mentioned as candidates, have post
ed the money required by law to en-
able their names to be placed upon
the ballot.
DR.. George Wells has announced his
support of Stanley, while there are
signs that the element favorable to
State Senator German and the old
leaders will support Ray. The latter
is being opposed by watermen on ac-
count of his record in favor of the
oyster cultivation bill.
As Thomas Parran, of Calvert
county, is the only Republican can
didate, his name will not go on the
ballot, but he will be sent a certifi-
cate of nomination by the supervisors
of election.

A TRUE SNAKE STORY
After Chickens Snakeship Has Head
Cut Off

Get the hook" the proverbial
phase, more expressive than elegant,
found substitute at Eastport one
day this week in "get the axe.
One morning this week Mrs. Joe
Thomas, of Fourth street, Eastport,
heard a noise in her hennery. Chick
ems were having a high old time, and
after the noise had kept up for some
time, Mrs. Thomas went to investi-
gate. She found long, black snake,
the cause of the disturbance.
The axe not being far away, Mrs.
Thomas ran for it and with the
strength of her right arm, or both
arms, she came down with the wood
chopper in one fell swoop, cutting
off the snakes head. This was not
the end of the story, for the decapi-
tatjsh revealed fourteen young snakes
which she also killed.
Another Eastport snake story is
to the effect that in the lot back OF
Mr.. Cook s, lof Chesapeake avenue, a
snake was killed few days ago, and
the killing of that snake revealed q
young snakes.

Strickland as best man. The Rev. I. D. Steele oticated. The bride was charmingly gowned In costume of heavy lace over delicate yellow silk and carried a bou- quet of bride roses and lilies of the valley.

pass or rudder. We have our eye on the harbor and our hands on the oar. They are shifting with the winds. We are rowing steadily and regardless of how the temporary winds may blow. Mir. Percy and MT. Motion and MT. Robertson and host of good men are seeking hon estly, and for the most part in good con science, believe, to find some way of scotching the devil without killing him. The day of their enlightenment is but postponed.
 Let us take MT. Percy's case. He is an honorable, high-toned man. ambitious to be of use in the world, a good husband and father, a splendid citizen. with a heart to feel for others woes, an in- tellect that in it's repening strength Is a source of pride to his city and his county and will be to his state. He Is the very flower of that circle of strong men who have made successes in business and the professions, who have achieved wealth and who possess culture, and who stand for power and influence in the social and political and business world of Birming- ham.
 This gifted man was not with us in our fight. He said his heart was, and I be- lieve it was. But he said his Judgment was gainst us. Perhaps it was, and then again, may be it was only his predilec-
 
 been for prohibition. Suppose his sena- torial colleague whom he mentions CMr. Morrow had been for prohibition. They belong to the same class, socially and professionally and in business. Suppose the weight of their great names had stood for prohibition and the enforcement of the law once we got it on the books? What then? How many of their own class and circle would have stood with them? Would the blind tigers of Bir- mngham have had the reinforcement of MT Percys authority for demanding a return of the saloon, re-enforcement which the last mothers son of the whole tribe is appealing now? These men, and many men of whom they are the type, stood back from the beginning and said: we hope it will succeed. We believe 1t will fail. Let Us wait and watch 1t fail" And so they were 10000 times more potent in promoting failure by such an at utude than all the miserable tribe ofs lawbreakers whose activities know no bounds short of murder.
 It will not always be so. Men of MT. Porcys type and environment will see regulation fail as 1t has been failing since recorded time. The enlightened public conscience will not stand for the hor- TOTS of the saloon traffic as 1t once did. An aroused public conscience drove 1t out once and when it drives whisky out again, men of Mir. Percy's type will help to keep it out. Their very present ac- tivities for some solution are proof that conscience is awake. All that the ex- tremist prohibitionist ever dreamed or hoped or asked or prayed to Heaven for was that mems conscience should awake. That done, all the rest is easy.

BIRMINGHAM GIVEN OVER
 OJOYS OF CHRISTMAS TIME

pie. The banker brushed shoulders with the cripple who peddled his trinf- cts The rich and well fed made merry With those who hungered and those not unacquainted with the sharpness of winters tooth. There were the chil- dren who saw expensive toys with the joy of anticipated possession. There were those who saw and found pleas ure in simply seeing. There were those to whom Christmas is no novelty and those to whom Christmas, fin the sense of turkey feasting and gift receiving, has never come.
 But it was joyous throng-a typical Christmas throng. The big city throbbed with the joy of licensed pleasure. There was no one to say the throng nay" and no nay could have checked the clamor of the horns and the clamor of the Christmas bells.
 Routine Programme for Today
 Yesterday throughout the city there were innumerable Christmas trees and entertainments of Sunday schools. Mes senger boys were hustling throughout the day delivering presents to the for tunate. Poor old Dobbins sighed under their loads of sweets and from morn to eve their burdens were never les sened.
 Last night young Birmingham hung up It's stockings and it will be a happy young Birmingham this morning-in the beginning of the happiest day of all the year. Bombardment of fire works will. be in order this morning and today shortly after the noon hour Birmin ngham. young and old Birming- ham, will sit down to do justice to the proud turkey-laid low.
 Tn the afternoon friends will visit friends-for everyone keeps "open house" in Birmingham on Christmas and in the afternoon displays of fire works will be the chief method of en- tertainment.
 And tomorrow it will be all over. The old grind will return but will be easier to bear on account of the joyous moment of its cessation.

 Immediately after received the letter I instructed my men working on the case to use every means to ascertain where it came from. I feel more encour- aged than at any former time at, the aspect of the case

Christmas

Christmas
 Once again Birmingham forgets its business, it's politics and it's policies.
 A momentary halt is called in the progress of the world. The man with scheme cannot secure an audience The inventor is told to call tomor- row. The bill collector. plying his rounds against his own protest, is cas- fly laughed out of countenance It is Christmas-the period of good cheer, when every man puts off his customary grouch and greets his neighbor with a twinkllng eye and cordial shake of the hand. 70
 Tomorrow the period of eternal hug to will return and men. will resume their customary stride in transacting the business of the universe. Tomor- row the bill collectors will hustle t. collect for the Christmas purchases. The grouch will regain its hold with the ease that resolutions are forgot ten.
 Rut today it is Christmas and mans humanity to man Is making the whore world glad.
 Joyous ThrOngs Crowd Street
 Birmingham's Christmas will own no departure from the general routine of festivals.
 Trade has been exceedingly good, ac- cording to all the merchants, and money, in the term or the financier, has been easy"

 Last night the Christmas eve horn brigade marched out of barracks and took the city by storm. Every street and avenue was lined by an almost inpenetrable mass of noisy humanity. Every man, woman and child had a horn and each attempted to blow loud or and stronger and. more continuous ly than his neighbor. Z Tn the mass was every type of peo-
