JUROR WITH
OPINION NOT
ACCEPTABLE

HALL OF RECORDS, LOS AN
GELES, Oct. 25.-That a Juror
will not be qualified to try James
b. Mcnamara merely because he
says he is willing to lay aside a
previous opinion was made plain
by Judge Bordwell today. The
court said he would personally
take into consideration the quail
fications of the juror, and where
there was any doubt of his abil-
ity to divest himself of the opin-
ion, he would give the defense
that benefit and excuse the juror.
In making this ruling Judge
Bordwell sustained the challenge
by the defense against f. J. Null
lin, who said he believed McNa-
mara guilty but was willing to lay
that opinion aside and give him a
fair trial.

THE NINTH

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK.
Oct. 25.-Fighting desperately to
the last minute, the New York
Giants today pIucked victory from
defeat and prevented the worlds
champion Athletics from again
grabbing the title. The score was
4 to 3. The final run came I'm the
last half of the tenth inning.
Doyle, the Giants second base
man, was the hitting sensation of
the day. After getting three hits
i'm the earlier part of the game, he
doubled when he was first man up
i'm the tenth. Then Snodgrass,
who had shown nothing i'm the se-
ries, hunted and Doyle took third.
Murray then flied to Murphy, but
Doyle was held so close to third
that he could not score on tho
throw-in. Another fly by MerkIe
to Murphy was long enough, and
Doyle raced over with the win
ming run.

THE WESTERN MARYLAND RAIL
WAY COMPANY.

Tere seems to be a bright future
before this Company and this fact is
of particular interest to the people OF
Carroll county, inasmuch as the enter
prise first took definite shape in our
county, and was substantially promot-
ed by our people.
1t il within the easy recollection Of
many OF our citizens, that meeting af-
ter meeting was held in Westminster
to further the project Of building the
Western Maryland Railroad.
Such representative men as John
Smith, of Wakefield; Augustus Shriv-
er, Nathan and Reuben Haines, John
K. Longwell, William and John Rob-
erts, Israel Rinehart and many others
were the prominent figures at these
meetings There were many discour-
agements in this effort, and the matter
had its ups and downs before the first
rail was laid.
The first idea OF the terminus OF
the road was Union Bridge, and when
after great effort, it was finished to
that point, it seemed DESTROYS to ex-
tend it to Mechanicstown, now Thur
mont.
AS the work progressed, other in
terests, than those which were con-
nected with it in the beginning, came
to it. So that when the road was
completed to Thurmont, the people OF
Baltimore began to feel that ii would
be a good thing for that city to have
the road cross the mountains anC
reach the Cumberland Valley, SO thai
the trade which formally came to Bal.
timore from that valley, but which hat
been directed to Philadelphia, might
be recovered. Without going into {
more extended statement Of it, his
tory, we come back to our first re
mark, that the road has a bright fu
ture before it. III IL at this time build,
ing line between Cumberland, Md.
and Connellsville, Pa, which will bt
completed by October next, and this
gives 1t direct connection with Pitts
burg and the west. 1t will then, also
become a part or the New York Cen
trail Railroad system, and the Eastern
Tidewater terminus OF this road. I
IL satisfaction to our people to know
that it was Carroll county brains ant
Carroll county money and Carol
county pluck, that conceived and pu
into operation the Western Maryland
Railroad, which il now a road of q
much Importance.

MaryIand's Oyster Yield.

an organization representing the oys-
ter-canning and oyster-shipping in
dustries distributed over the whole
state, il actively promoting move
ment having for its aim the conServa-
ton and development of the oyster
producing areas underlying Maryland
tidal waters. The American has for
years been urging the elimination of
the oyster bottoms from the realm Of

of the oyster problem as big indus

We are sorry to hear that there is

We are sorry to hear that there is
a difference of opinion as to the prop
er place to hold the Fair. In under
takings of this kind success can only
be obtained by the the hearty CO
operation OF all interested in the move-
ment; any division of sentiment will
tend to prevent this. Encouragement
and aid is what should be given to
the men who are engaged in promoting
the Fair and everyone interested in
Carroll county and its agricultural
resources and productions should help
them all they can.
The question of location seems to
us to be a very simple one, II sentl-
ment is eliminated in its selection.
Recognizing that Taneytown has
splendid foundation for fair in H.
annual Changers picnic, yet, that is
at best, but local affair. True It IS
the largest farmers picnic held III
the county, but it is still picnic, and
it's location would prevent il from
ever being recognized az county
event. Adams county Pennsylvania,
no doubt sends nearly as many visi-
tors to it al Carroll county.
The Fair should be a County Fair,
Carroll county's, and TO accomplish
this result its location must be such
as to stamp il as Carroll county's
Fair. No place but Westminster can
do this, owing to it being in the CEN
ter Of the county and the county seat.
From III position 1t can draw from
every direction, and as the men upon
whose shoulders will fall adj of the
work are scattered over the county,
it would be necessarily most conven-
lent for them let u do ali W. can
to help them.

as compared with the finer oysters
that are being sent to market from the
farmed bottoms Of Virginia, Connect
cut, New Jersey and other tidal-wat-
er states in which a cultural system
has been inaugurated III IL a fact
beyond dispute that the reserved bot
toms-the common oyster grounds of
the state-are worked, season after
season, under such loosely regulated
methods that oysters on these bottoms
are never permitted to grow to a size
which would grade them with the best
oysters marketed from leased bot
toms. The harvesting of oysters from
the common bottoms il enormously
wasteful, in that the oysters are taken
when they are only half grown and of
inferior quality. The system in vogue
IL Just al waSteful al it would be for
a land farmer to market half-grown
potatoes or four-months-old pigs. A
three-year old oyster will average
nearly twice al large as u tWo-year
old oyster If the oyster yield on the
reserved bottoms were developed and
conserved on scientific and business
like principles, the yield from these
bottoms within ten years could be in
creased tenfold.

location of a county fair, Taneytown

to rent to private individuals to be
divided up into oyster farms, the con-
ditions should be made so as to en-

both a small way and in a large way.
The aim of the state, in short, should
be- to encourage such an abundant pro
duction OF oysters as will make the
oyster industries of Maryland as val
liable an asset to the state at large as
are the anthracite coal industries To
the State Of Pennsylvania. An emf
nent authority-the most eminent au-
thority on the subject of oysters-has
said that this can be done And ii
it can be done it is merely remarking
the obvious to say that it should be
done. Instead or 100000 bushels an
nually, it has been declared BY the au-
thority just referred to that the bot
toms under the Maryland tidal waters
can be made to yield 10000, 900 bush
els annually.

and persistently boom the town. One
of the methods it will employ is the
giving away of buttons, upon which
will be engraved Lebanon, the Town

Westminster needs booming; it has
many natural advantages, induce
ments which, if made known generally,
would help the town and people here.
Westminster also failed to gain much
i'm population Il this not owing to
the fact that satisfaction with our
selves has prevented the outside world
from knowing the advantages we have
over many other towns ?
1t is true, improvements have been
going on i'm the last two years, new
industries have been started that are
help, but We should have more. To
get this We need a united effort upon
the part of all our citizens. The
work can not be accomplished by a
few.
We need more people, but will not
get them until we get more houses.
The men that could afford to should
build. We want some more small
manufacturing plants Go after them
and make the proposition offered at
tractive enough to bring them. Many
other things We need and are entitled
to have, but nothing can be obtained
without the right effort, which can
come only when the proper civic
spirit moves it.
This year seems to be fated to be

land Baltimore is setting the pace
and all the other towns are trying to
follow her example. Westminster
should not be out of the race for new
