LAKE CITY NEWS LETTER.
Everybody at Work--FreightCen'
aestlon.-A Coming Marriage.

Lake City, March 23:-Last week
everybody was so busy, the farmers
in the fields and the town people in
the gardens, that there was no visit
ing, no gossiping, no fighting
nothing to furnish news items. Of
course no allusion is meant to the
negroes. They are never busy ex-
cept when you want to hire them
to work.
The spring time is coming, gentle
Annie; and so is the bedbug, cousin
William.
Mr. ] H Hanna, of Tefford, Hamp-
ton county, passed through town q
few days ago on his way to pay
a short visit to his old home at Vox.
The railroads seem to be farther
behind in the race of progress
than most other things. They
should indeed be leaders not the
loaded, but the facts show that
they are tagging behind the pace.
The demands of traffic are about to
swamp them, and damage to many
will most assuredly result. Fer
tilizers shipped from Charleston
Saturday week ago have not arriv-
ed yet. The household and kitchen
goods of a certain man have been
on the way from Branchville to
Lake City about three weeks, and
the owner is still camping out.
We understand that at one time
recently the Coast Line had seven
h undred and fifty-six cars
loaded with fertilizers waiting to be
moved. Every car, engine, engi-
neer-every thing is kept busy, but
the congestion is not relieved.
DR. D C Scott was noted here from
Kingstree a few days ago.
The bachelor magistrate seems to
be still worrying about that mar
riage license. He was up here again
the other day.
Hon R H Kellehan was in town
one day last week on business.
Cards are out announcing the
marriage of Miss Edith Carter and
DR. ] Frasier Jones on the 5th of
April. The ceremony will take
place at the Baptist church at half

Barrel of "Booze" Conilscated.

Barrel of "Booze" Conilscated.
Yesterday Chief Anderson seized
a barrel of whisky addressed to
Bill McClary," just as the con-
signee had received the shipment
and placed it on wagon. to haul it
out Of town.
McClary is young negro, of the
Cedar Swamp section. He denied
having ordered the stuff. Said he
had heard that the package was in
the express office addressed to him
and he came to town to take it out,
intending to deliver it to the man
who took the liberty of ordering it
in his name, provided the latter
proved his claim to the liquor.
The liquor was packed in a barrel
of excelsior, the contents being as
sorted, as follows: 2 gallons corn,
/ gallon gin, l gallon near" wine,
/ gallon rye, the name of the dealer
on the printed label showing that
the stuff had been shipped from
Jacksonville, Fla.
The liquor was seized under that
section of the prohibition law pro-
hibiting the accepting or receiving
of liquor shipped into dry territory.
Mayor Gilland required McClary
to give bond in the sum of $25
pending further investigation of
the case.
This is the third seizure of liquor
that has been made here recently,
the other two packages being ad-
dressed to RD Chandler, another
Cedar Swamp negro, and that
whole section is said to be flooded
with blind tiger whiskey.

To the Editor f:

To the Editor
Every honest citizen, regardless OF
party, should now feel it his duty to
come forward in some manner and
sustain Gov. Crothers, and the little
band under Senator Harper and dele
gate Marriott that are fighting against
great odds.
The time is coming in all states and
civilized counties when people must
open their eyes To the terrible drains
that are made upon their treasures
by charity and education. Under
education's delusive name, socialism is
creeping in and every form of State
help to the individual appears.
England's great parliament has
just been brought face to face with
the demands of it's budget; some of
our states, Maryland and Virginia
among them, are walking along a
similar line. Foods are scarcer and
higher, farming is being abandoned
and the actual necessities of life are
being sacrificed for the fetish of edu-
cation.
Gov. Crothers has cut out his plans
for relieving Maryland i'm the straits to
which she was approaching and now
there rises up Delegate Benson and
his followers to oppose him. AS the
Baltimore papers, one and all, say,
let the people remember Benson and
every one of the legislators who is
busying himself in the attempt to
Illustrate Gov. Crothers's patriotic
plans.
Then just at the same moment, Re
publican Delegate William o. Werten-
baker, of Sabillasville, Frederick
county, a school teacher by the by,
announces that he has a drastic COM
pulsory education bill to spring upon
the Legislature, with all it's attendant
expense if enacted into law. This
foolish man don't see that it is
stomach stuffing and not mind stuff
ing that is now the order Of the day.
Mr.. Wertenbaker wants the state to
take a step forward in civilization, as
he puts it, but Civilization needs phys
ical strength for its advancement first
of all. With hundreds Of thousands
of men, women and children compelled
to forego meat to reduce prices, it is
no time to talk any further about
books, but about bread and beef.
Compulsory education has already
done enough toward national disinti-
grafton. 1t began by causing the
abandonment of New England farms,
now the abandonment is spreading all
over the country and causing men
like James T. Hill and President
Brown, Of New York, to sound warning
voices for the restoration of farming.
repeat, let honest and observing
citizens take notice of the situation
and come forward in the press, over
their names and addresses, in support
of Gov. Crothers and the policies of
retrenchment that he would inaugu-
rate. He will make the state famous
il allowed his way. An article in the
Baltimore Republican Star of January
18th depicted him in all his admirable
qualities and showed him to be with
out an equal among the Governors of
the state.

Why does Great Britain buy
its oatmeal Of us?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases Of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason il simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally Of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods of
manufacture 50 that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Oats. This brand il
without a rival; Is packed in regular
Dc packages, and in Theoretically seal
Gd tins for hot climates. 81

Burglars broke in 20 Philadelphia
residence.
The sleeping family remained IN
conscious of their presence.
Nobody knew how long the maraud-

There was much silverware lying
On the massive sideboard. There were
bowls and pitchers and platters and
countless spoons. and it was all
real stuff?
Did the burglars take this silver?
Did they make huge package OF
the precious material and slip away
with it over the back fence?
No, they did not.
They took the fragments Of cold
turkey, and the remains Of boiled
ham, and dish of baked beans, and
a box of biscuits, and chunk Of do
nestle cheese, and can Of olives.
They knew what they wanted
They were familiar with market

Segregation of COnsumptives.

One of the farthest reaching items in
the legislature program of the Mary
land Association for the Prevention
and Relief of tuberculosis for this
year places this Association on record
in favor of the segregation in state
institution of those people who are
suffering from tuberculosis in such an
advanced state as to make them a
danger If allowed to remain at large
in the community. Such persons are
known to physicians and health Off
Gals as 'pus distributors" AS a rule
they are not careful to see that all of
their sputum is destroyed, SO they
pass tuberculosis along to other peo-
pie. Each consumptive who dies, IN
less he has been very careful in his
habits, may usually De charged with
at least three other cases contracted
from him during the period of his ill
ness, when he was ''pus distributor"
The legislature OF Maryland which
for the last eight years has been in
clined to seek and accept the best ad-
vice in matters relating to tubercu-
losis will be urged to make some pro-
vision for the isolation of advanced
cOnsumptives. The State Association
will ask its friends and supporters
throughout the state 20 discuss the
matter with their local delegates and
senators with view to urging the es-
adjustment of care for advanced cases,
to support the splendid work now be-
ing done for incipients at the State
Sanitarium at Sabillasville and at
Eudwood, near Towson.

At the close Of the session Of the

Among other interesting discussions
and suggestions in the detail of pub
lie education, the commission In re-
port to the Governor, presents the fol-
lowing on the subject of High Schools:
1--WE recommend that the High
Schools now on the list be divided in
to two classes to be known as first
class and second-class High Schools
the class to be determined by the num-
Der of teachers employed, pupils en-
rolled and the character of the work.
In addition to the regular academic
work, each High School should pro-
vide Manual Training Department to
include domestic science, and should
provide a Commercial department"
The recommendation sets forth that
High Schools of the first-class would
continue to receive as much as $500
from TIE state provided they be
equipped with teaching force bring
ing half the expenses up to this
amount; but that High Schools of the
second-class would receive $500 as
the limit from the state. .ii SGD.
"A Manual Training Department and
a Commercial Department have al
ready been opened in more than thirty
High Schools of the state outside OF
the city. After the act was passed
authorizing the opening OF a Manual
Training department In High Schools,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1910-01-28

Frederick and few other counties
did not at first take advantage of the
act, but public sentiment very soon
forced them to open the department.
In some Of the High Schools cook
ing rooms have been fitted up and
practical cooking is taught. In Refs
terstown High School one day in the
week the girls take lessons, doing
actual cooking, and occasionally they
provide a luncheon for school officials
to give objective and gustatory proof
Of skill and progress. These are
some of the things with which School
Boards have to wrestle, while domes-
tic science, agricultural teaching and
vocational training fill the pages Of
Educational Journals and crowd the
literature of progressive school life Of
today. W..

From the Outside.

Jenkins was half frantic with tooth
ache, and as he stood before the glass
examining the offending molar he was
really quite startled at his enormous
ly large mouth. 1t was so big that it
positively frightened him. He thought
the best thing he could do would Be
to swallow himself, and SO put an end
to his pain. On calmer reflection, he
determined to visit the dentist.
When h. was in the fatal chair, and
the dentist had his forceps and ham
'mer in hi hand, panic seized poor
Jenkins. He began To twist, stretch
and moye his enormous mouth about
I'm such frightening way that tine
operator became alarmed.
Don't trouble to open your mouth
any wider" he said kindly ~ intend
