A Few Words To Kind Friends.

DEAR SENTINEL You used to be so kind
about publishing church notices for me
that have decided to impose on you again
by asking you to give me space Tor lew
lines to the many friends who were so
lovely to US during Our ministry in your
county. For the faithful, devoted members
of our former field there, and the many
friends, we feel a lasting attachment. We
recall with tenderness the associations OF
those days. We would like to write per-
sonal letter TO each one. Better still, we
would rejoice in the privilege Of preaching
to them again.
Just a word about our charge here. We
have three churches and the most compact
country field | have ever known. The
churches are located on the three points OF
a triangle, with the parsonage in the CEN
ire. The farthest church is two and half
miles from the parsonage. There are SIX
hundred and seventy members. have
two services each Sunday except on fifth
Sundays which Virginia pastors are privi-
legged to spend as they please.
We have a beautiful parsonage, with
eight rooms. poultry houses. barn, ice house
and all conveniences possible on small
country place, There are also fourteen
acres of land The present pastor is run
ming an experimental farm on small
scale.
Bethany, our strongest church, recently
entertained the Rappahannock association.
The association includes fifty-nine churches,
with an Aggregate membership of 1000
Baptists. More than the whole State Of
Maryland. On the biggest day of the meet
ing we had 1000 persons present and din
ner was served to at least 800. Many
present said that the association was better
taken care of than ever before in its history.
The Northern Neck is one of the finest
trucking sections in the world. The can
taloups, water melons, tomatoes and pota-
toes are luscious. The steamboat loads
seen on the wharfs along the Potomac and
Rappahannock rivers give you some idea
of the enormous extent of the trucking
business here.
Alice Whitfield is fast developing into
Vireinian. But we never intend to let her
forget that she was born in Maryland. The
writer counts it the JOY of his life that he
was SO fortunate as to win for his wife one
of Montgomerys noblest daughters.
Best wishes for the Sentinel"

A Faithful Pastor.

At meeting Of the vestry of st. Peters
Church, Poolesville, August 2lst, 1911. it
was resolved that a letter be sent to our
late pastor. Rev. WalterP. Griggs. who had
so faithfully served us for the past twenty
two years The young who came under
his influence have gone out into the world
better men and women, because they had
been touched by the unselfish sympathy
Of a truly good man. He was polite and
generous. 1t always gave him pleasure to
do an act Of kindness by which he could
make others happy. In his quiet, gentle
way he went among the poor. visited the
sick. always trying to help the needy. He
will be sadly missed not only by his church.
but by the whole community
Resolved. That the above letter be spread
on the parish records and be sent to the
Rockville Sentinel and Southern Church
man for publication.

Seeks Financial Aid.


To the people Of Montgomery county,
For many years the Agricultural Society
has stood for the advancement of every
thing connected in the life on the farm.
BY means of the competition engendered
by the annual Fairs not only have our people
had the opportunity to acquire knowledge
of methods and results. but there has been
built up the spirit of emulation and devel-
Opment resulting in that yearly improve
ment Of stock and produce which has
marked each yearly exhibit until this year
the exhibition compared favorably with
any in the State.
The good accomplished has reached all
the departments Of the farm life, the home
and garden as well as the field.
In addition, the annual gathering has
been valuable asset to the social life and
pleasure of all the people.
For the past two years, in spite of the
most earnest efforts Of the Board of Man
agement. unfavorable weather has made
the annual meetings financial failures
so that floating debt is incurred which
threatens to destroy the association or. at
least. materially to cripple It's effectiveness
and usefulness.
The Board of Management expects to
meet all of its obligations, including pre-
miums. promptly and in full In order to
do so they will have to pledge their per-
sonal credit for the sum, including what
they are already responsible for. of about
two thousand dollars.
They feel that they ought not to be per-
mitted TO assume this burden for an asso-
citation in which they have only that interest
which belongs in common to the whole
county 1t has been, therefore, determined
to ask the people of the county to come to
the assistance of the association in Its
time of need.
To this end you are earnestly requested
to aid by such voluntary contributions of
money as you feel able to donate. What
ever the amount, large or small, it will
help the cause and bear its fruit in keep
ing alive an institution Of which you all
should feel proud. II is in truth the County
Fair, and if the county people will now
rally to its support its value can be largely
increased, for the Board of Management
can safely promise that II the pressing
burden Of debt be removed the future Fairs
will be larger and more attractive in every
way than ever before.
Let everybody help. and send your con-
tIibuti0ns to

Washington Grove Athletic Games.
The ninth annual meet of the Wash
ingtOn Grove Athletic Association was
held Monday at Washington Grove. and
il was bowling success. the competition
being keen and the time made being I'M
usually good when the somewhat soggy
condition Of the track Is taken into con-
sideratiOn. The feature events Of the day
were in the half-mile and quarter-mile
runs, the men finishing within inches Of
each other In both Of these events. At the
start of the quarter-mile dash Hamilton
with a ten-yard handicap spurted still
farther in the lead. and managed to hold
this advantage until the last 200 yards.
when both Brown and Reuter- gradually
began to close up the gap He held eamely
on. however, and got the decision from
Brown by only a few inches.
The half-mile was equally exciting. Hull

winning by hairs breadth from Landon
of the Tremonts Brown was a close third
Dutch" Hildebrand tried to come back in
both events. but was unsuccessful.
The surprise of the day came in the
two-mile run. when "Puggsy" Holland ran
away from BOlac and won by 800 yards
in the good time Of 1855 rs.
The lOO-yard dash was in fine time.
Brockman, the winner, negotiating the
distance in 10 is seconds. Gist. who will
probably represent the United States in
the next Olympic games, got third place.
lie did not show up very well in his other
events. as the handlcaps were too much
for him to overcome.
Three cross-country club men finished

a novice. starting from the 40-yard mark
and never being headed. CuTley and Bo-

REVISION OF TAX
LAWS IN Ohio
Harmon Saves Realty Owners
S7,385,8I3.O5 Annually.
RECORD A PROGRESSIVE ONE
BY A. v. ABERNETHY.

Columbus, O. - (SpeciaD - Ohio
farmers and home owners are now
paying s7Ss5.S13,o5 less taxes each
year, while there ..as been shifting
Of several, millions Of dollars in tax
payments from the individual proper
ty owners to the corporate property
holders. These reforms were brought
about by a complete revision Of Ohio
tax laws, which was done as direct
result of recommendations and per-
sistent efforts By Governor Judson
Harmon.
The taxable values of all Ohio pub
lie service corporations properties
have, in the present year, been In
creased one billion dollars.
These are the potent figures. which
Governor Harmon has to refute the
charge that he Stands forth pre-emi-
nently as the candidate Of the cor
porate interests"
The answer to the fling that he is
q railroad lawyer Of the Morgan
group is found in the fact that the
Morgan railroads in Ohio will pay
taxes upon about s150000,o0o more
property than ever before. The ap-
praisement of all Ohio railroads for
taxation has been increased from
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1911-10-18

S166,469,599' to s5S0,0o0,000. This is
an increase of s413,530.401 to rail
road properties alone, something that
would not be expected from man
with a desire to serve railroads
stronger than his purpose to serve the
people. By taking into consideration
the fact that the 1911 valuation of the
Pennsylvania system alone is s1S,469,-
AL in excess of the total appraise-
ment for taxation Of all Ohio rail-
roads in 1910, one can ascertain how
inadequate was the tax values placed
on these properties heretofore.
- To answer the charge that their
candidate, is the representative of
"big business" Harmon heatenants
can go to the grand tax duplicate of
the state of Ohio and obtain figures
showing that the property of the So
called "big business" interests, other
than public service corporations. has
been increased one billion dollars. All
these charges were hurled at Govern
or Harmon in the 1910 Ohio cam
paign, but he answered all OF them,
and the people of Ohio indicated they
did not believe a single one of the
charges by giving him a 101 900 ma
jority vote.
To get into line those skeptics who
assert that Governor Harmon is not
progressive enough to suit them, the
Ohio executive has a list Of bills, en-
acted in the 1911 session Of the Ohio
legislature, that, for prcgressiveness,
are the equal of any legislative pro-
gram to the credit Of any governor
in the United States. There were en-
acted bills providing for the Oregon
plan of nominating and electing Unit
ed States senators by direct vote Of
the people; providing for the election
of all Ohio judges and candidates to
the 1912 Ohio constitutional conven-
ton on non-partisan ballots; strong
corrupt practices act that will make
vote buying in primaries and elec-
tons dangerous undertaking Git also
provides for publication of primary
campaign expenses before election
and Of election expenses after the
election; general reform CT Ohio
election laws to prevent corruption
and fraud ratification Of tie pro-
: posed income tax amendment to the
= federal constitution; public utilities
bill, more far-reaching and moro eff
cient than tho New York act cham
pioned by Governor Hughes; a work
ingmen's compensation act that is
said to be Of more benefit to working
men than any other in the country: a
