TROUBLE in CEDAR
NECK SCHOOL DISTRICT

For some weeks, In fact, every since
the stated school meeting in June of
this year, there has been considerable
wrangling among the citizens in the
district in which the Cedar Neck school
is situated, and all Of the trouble can be
traced directly to SO per cent. Of the
voters Of the said district. Not that
SO per cent. OF the voters Of the district
are dissatisfied with the way in which
the schools are Deing run, but because
the SO per cent manifested such little
Interest in the stated meeting Of their
district, that only one person was
present at the annual meeting, q con-
ditiOn which has prevailed for several
years, who proceeded in accordance
with law to transact the regular bust.
ness as required by law, and to elect
the commissioners. The wrat gle that
grew out OF this meeting is all on &C
count OF one man being named for
commissioner who was Objectionable
to some Of those taEdy voters who were
not sufficiently interested in the well
fare Of the schools to attend the meet
ing.
1t is indeed wrong to be negligent in
our duty aud then find fault with the
work which is done by the one person
who does attend to his duty and who
in q legal manner.
That the election which was duly
and lawfully advertised for the Cedar
Neck Schools is legal, is unquestiOned,
and the only remedy left to those who
are dissatified, is to do all that they can
to make this school year a successful
one and when the meeting is advertised
for the next school year, go out and |
select men whom they wish to serve the
district.

TRAIN LEAVES TRACKS.

While on its regular run last Satur
day afternoon train No. 80 on the d.
M. & v Railroad was derailed near
QuepOnco, Md. The train was in charge
OF Conductor T. L. Davis and Engineer
George LsrimOre, and was running
about 80 miles an hour when the &C
cident occurred. A singular feature Of
the wreck was that none OF the car
parted. Had they have parted the
emergency brakes would have been set
and the train would probably have
been stopped before all Of the cars were
thrown from the track. or the many
passengers who we're on the train at
the time only q few received injuries,
and they were very slight, all Of them
being able to proceed to their homes
after the wreck The cause ofthe acci.
dent is q mystery, but it is supposed
that some kind Of an obstruction was
on the track.

Since the advent Of local option it
was at first thought that with the
