prIIIS SENTIMENT GROWS.
D,,ubr Annapolis Business Man Has
Strong Support For Senatorial
Nomination.

rsr. ~ city their certificates Of candi-
lacy
,isrtes cannot get their names on the
.,imarv election tickets. The period
= which candidates for local offices
can Gle their papers Of candidacy
closes on Saturday.
In to early afternoon today the
aeai Board Of Supervisors had re-
.4iyed the candidacy papers of all of
those who have been mentioned for
ststa offices. with the exception of
NJ william c. Evans, of Cecil coun-
~ who is picked as the Comptroller,
r,rping-mate of Senator Blair Lee on
,bq Democratic ticket The only GER
u6cate filed this morning was that of
Emerson c. Harrington, the German
candidate for the same office.
That Anne Arundel will 90 for Cor
man in the primaries seems practically
assured. unless Senator Lee can mus
ter more strenth than is thought pos
slble outside the organization forces.
This leaning in favor Of German has
brought a new kind of harmony into
the local organization, and Mr.. Isaac
S Nutwell and his forces. who are al
most invariably found fighting DR..
George Wells and the regular organi-
zation, have come into camp and will
Join forces with Dr. Wells, not only
on the State ticket, but in local offices
IS well, il is understood.
Not only Mr.. Nutwell and his forces,
but the regular organization has got
solidly behind Joseph II. Bells, of this
city, for the Democratic Senatorial
uomnation, and this practically as
ares Mr.. Bells election in the prim-
ay on August %. The other three
upirants for this honor will, it is un-
ierstood, remain in the fight, but their
forces are scattered and it is conceded
that their efforts will be but labor
lost.
Mr.. Bells sterling qualities of
standing uncompromisingly for what
he thinks right, his loyalty to his
friends, and to his county, have made
the announcement of his candidacy ex-
ceptionally popularA Men who are
known not to be personally friendly
with him have gone to the front to say
that even though they may not agree
with him personally, they feel that
he will unquestionably make the best
Senator of any of those whose names
have been mentioned and who are in
the fight. Each day word of growth
in the sentiment for his election is
brought in from all over the county,
and while there is a contest for this
office, there is little chance of any
thing but big majority for Mr..
BELLS.
The other candidates have their
following, but this is scattered and
each will, tits figured, interfere with
the other. while the Bells sentiment
goes solidly through.

In reply the Short Lines writes as
follows:
Baltimore, Md, Aug. s. II.
Mr.. Henry Francis Sturdy, Sscre tary
Chamber of Commerce, Annapolis
Nd.
Dear Sir
Your favor of the 5th instant was
only received this morning. and |
hasten to acknowledge same and advise
you in regard to the cancellation OF
the contract between the United
States Express Company and our COM
pany, as requested by you.
The contract between the United
States Express Company and this COM
pany was entered into in 1899. and
since 1904 it has been subject to can
collation. by ninety-day notification
from either company to the other.
Under the old contract in question
there are three main points either not
satisfactory to US or best for the in
terest of the public.
tlrst-The compensation for the
prompt service given by us was not
sufficiently remunerative.
Second-There was no provision in
the old contract for parcel and pack
age service, which we feel compelled
to provide.
Third-The character of some of
the shipments we are called on to
carry are Objectionable and also de-
trimental to our passenger business.
After many conferences with the
officers of the United States Express
Company and after all efforts had
failed to agree on a different contract
which would suit the changed condi-
tions since we have electrified. there
was nothing for US to do but to give
notification to the officers of the Uni
ted States Express Company of our
desire to cancel the contract, which
notification was accepted by them, and
l now understand that they expect to
withdraw their service from this line
about the 30th Of September
1t was with regret that we felt
obliged to take this step, as we did
not desire to go into the parcel and
package business ourselves, but under
the circumstances it seemed the best
thing to do for the greatest number of
our patrons, although in doing so we
realize that first, at least, our reve-
nue. would be reduced.
On,or about the first of October. we
will install a parcel and package ser
vice, which we hope and believe will
more than Offset the objections which
can be given for our cancellation of
the contract with the United States
Express Company.
At this time / cannot give you full
details Of the plan or basis under
which we will install the parcel and
package service, but if you desire it.
we will be pleased to do so as soon
as our plans and arrangements have
rached that point which will warrant
our making them known.
Yours truly,
THE MARYLAND ELECTRIC RAIL.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
A Watermelon Vine In A Potato Patch
Bears 81 Watermelons OF Fine
Variety.

For miles around the friends and
neighbors cf Mr.. John L. Bull. of
Selby's Bay, South river, in the First
district, are flocking to his farm to
see the wonderful freak of nature.
This freak is in the shape of a
watermelon vine that grew of its own
accord where it was not planted. in a
potato patch, usurping the potato's S
privilege. On this water melon vine
there have grown and ripened thirty
seven watermelons, of which twelve
are selected and prime melons and of
very good size.
Ordinarily, there are only three and
four watermelons on a single vine, and
scarcely ever more than one good wa
termelon on a single vine. This wa
termelo vine, grown i'm a potato patch
with its thirty-seven watermelons.
Sounds like Heints's variety Of pick
les covers fifty square feet of ground.
and is sight to behold.

for miles about the country, and Mr..
Bull is being congratulated on his
novelty in the way Of farming. How

has been eminently fitted to apply
State government to the farmers in
terests. And when a administration
regards the votes and interests of the
country sections not as a lever to poli-
tical promotion and the qualification of
selfish purposes, but as a ever-present
and most important factor the well
fare and advancement of the common
wealth, it is taking the true course.
and is doing the most to further the
growth and happiness of all the peo.
pie.
Particularly are we indebted to the
Governor and grateful to him as the
originator of the boulevard between
the metropolis of Maryland and the
Southland, and the Capital of the
State. The building of a modern
highway binding together these two
cities has had many warm and effec-
tive supporters, but to Governor
Crothers belongs large measure of
the credit of making this commend
able proposition reality.
We still believe that the Democrats
Of Maryland, as well as the Democrats
of Anne Arundel look upon Governor
Crothers as the one man who, by rea-
son of his force and ability, plus his
ripe judgment and Illuminating ex-
perience as Chief Magistrate, as best
qualified to lead to Democratic victory
this fall.

THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

pIOyed those VINO were Killed.
Their indictments were based on
the result of the investigation which
showed that the exit aside from the
elevator, was locked, and had always
been kept locked, to prevent the en-
ployees from carrying off the goods
of the concern. The custom was, at
closing time, for some member of the
firm to be stationed at this door, and
his duty was to examine each en-
ployee, SO that dress goods or laces
could not be carried out
The price of one hundred and fifty
lives for a few yards of shirt-waist
goods or a few bolts Of lace seems
rather steep-doesn't it?
Comparisons are odious sometimes,
and again, they may be made bene-

where The JEFF plant was located
until recently.
One building, on the prominent re-
tail thOrOughfare, Whitehall street
is as veritable a death-trap as ever
an insurance company refused to
take as a "risk." Originally the
building was two stories high, but
the present owner has made floor
between each Of the others; these
additions are Of woOd-WOOden

is simply divided from the store
proper by very frail iron bars.
The store is crowded with women
and children shoppers from the open
ing to the closing. The aisles are
narroW-two people passing only
with difficulty. The store is packed
to the limit with dry goods and in
famable material Of every sort, and
the firemen will have a problem on
their hands if ever a fire breaks out
in that building.
There are, on several streets, in
Atlanta, number of cheap hotels;
these have been, evidently, at one
time, private houses to which flimsy
additions have been added from time
to time, and a fire in any Of these
houses will mean narrow escapes for
sOme-unless the fire ordinance is
more closely complied with.
Atlanta has been justly proud of
her industrial development, but she
is taking many Of the big risks in
human lives that New York has so
long taken.
The locked door in the factory is
not unknown in Atlanta, and it has
simply been through good fortune
that there has not been a terrific toll
of women and girls exacted there, be-
cause of rules which have given no
thought for the safety of the en-
ployees.
Forewarned should be forearmed,
but the owner of building hesitates
long at the expenditure necessary for
safeguarding his tenants.
One building in Atlanta will be suf-

Washington, July 20. - Senator
Kern. Democrat, Of Indiana, speaking
on a resolution to adj several EN-
ployes to the senate pay roll, charged
that "A spells system ran mad In the
senate. where Republicans so sys-e-

bers often were awarded half man.
Senator Dixon, Republican, retorted
that the Democratic house had dis
charged all Republican employees.
A resolution to put sixteen messen'

finally was adopted, caused the trou-
bic. Senator Bristow explained that
this was done to abolish a bad senate

additional expense, and would reduce
the number Of senate employees.
