Mr.. Holland was born in this county,

the County Commissioners. In both Of
these positions he exhibited his natural
good sense and fidelity 10 his public duties.
Mr.. Holland was man Of lofty ideals OF
life, and not only held them but lived up
to them in all the relations. both public and
private, of his life. He was man Of the
strictest integrity in deed, thought and
purpose. A gentleman Of the old school,

Champion Corn Lofter.

A few weeks ago the SENTINEL stated
that an attempt would be made by Robert
Brown, colored, in the course of the corn
gathering season, to loft on the farm of
Mayor Lee Offutt, situated about 3 miles
north of this town, ~ barrels of corn. ten
bushel to the barrel. between sunrise and
sunset.
Last Friday Brown undertook and ac-
complished the task The corn had been
shucked by other hands in the farthest
part of the field, which was about one
quarter of mile from the crib into which
the corn was to be put. A sorting of the corn
had been done at the time of the shuck-
ing-the smaller and rotten corn thrown
into separate piles from those to be handled
by Brown. He used a bushel basket at
each pile of corn so long as he could drag
the ears into it. and then picked up the
remainder of the pile with his hands. as
many as five or six ears at time. The
fourth load of IL barrels he had at the
crib few minutes after IL O'Clock. The
team of four horses was then unlocked,
watered and fed for dinner. He consumed
seven minutes of time in eating his dinner
and straightway returned to the wagon
and began unloading with an extra large
shovel. A few minutes before five O'Clock
he had finished lOfting the other two loads
necessary to make up the complement
of 72 barrels
This quantity had to be handled twice,
as all farmers know. and in that way is
equal to IA barrels. and to accomplish
the feat in the given time it was made
necessary that barrel should be handled
every l-2 minutes.
Brown is about 35 years of age, athletic,
weighs 1850 pounds and resident of this
county. He stated when his job was fin
ished that he felt a little tired in the
shoulders. but he seemed to experience no
inconvenience in reaching out his arm for
Mayor 0ffutts $40, payment required to
be made upon the fulfillment of the I'M
dertaking.
Mayor Offutt says the negro gave him a
good job. and displayed judgment and
much care throughout the performance,
and that he worked with constancy. but
not reckless haste. He is of the opinion
that the negro can loft as much as 80
barrels in day between the hours named
Brown says the quality of the corn he
worked in was excellent and will yield Ia
barrels to the acre.
Brown claims that he has done similar
work on more than one occasion, and in
this he is supported by Mr. Winfield S.
Maeruder. on whose farm the trick was
turned.
Upon his superior skill in this regard
Brown claims the worlds championship.
The feat has never before been accom-
plished by any man. not even undertaken,
for it is something that two average men
could not master.

Commissioner p. p. CIaxton Good
Roads.

Mr.. Editor:-At the recent clubwomen
meet at kensington Mr.. Claxton made the
point that because the people are compul-
sorily taxed for public schools they must
be made by compulsion to have children
attend them. According to the same rea-
soning everything for which the people are
taxed they must be compelled to partake
Of, whether they want to or not The
good roads" is a question in point.
The old farmer must be told that he
must travel five hours of five DAYS in nine
months of the year on the State road. He
must be told he is taxed for il and he must
take time to get the worth of his taxes-he
must, in fact. travel on the road lust as
many hours as the State lays down. He
must be told the wear and tear on his
vehicles will be less, he will be grantine
Kindness to animals in easier pulling, and
he will be popularizing good roads" by
his patronizing of them.
Nothing will be said about the farmers
loud protests against the foolish way in
which the roads are built about the fab
ulous sums demanded for them; about
their inability to stand wear and tear and
dozen other things. They got there by
hook and crook, by work of politicians and
erafters, and they must be patronized.
1t is the same way with the schools and
the compulsory law where it exists.
Through the indifference of the public and
the Vaccinations of educators and club
women the compulsory school laws have
come about. The public schools are be-
coming acknowledged as worthless for
practical education as the good roads"
are for practical use, and compulsory law
for the use of either is equally silly.
Mr.. Claxton made no new points. He
gave merely repetitiOns of those already
made. and he should have remembered the
inaugural address Of Gov. Blease, of South
Carolina, in which compulsory education
was shown to be the ruin of the home, as
attested by the juvenile crime of the North
and West

DR.. Willet M. Hays, Assistant Secretary
iof Agriculture, who at various periods in
the past has been mentioned as being in
line for promotion to the Secretaryship
ast Monday night made an address before
the Bethesda Citizens Association. at Be-
thesda, this county.
Declaring there is a crying need for or
9anizatiOn among the nations farmers and
that lack Of II is their one great fault. DR..
Hays suggested that Montgomery county
be organized into model ty, with 20
or more communities or centres. to stand
'as an object lesson for the nation"
ut is possible and practicable" said DR..
Hays, but before going forward with the
work Congress has to be consulted and
many other things accomplished. don't

portant new roadways and parkways which
will be included in the development.

"'' nv hiShuuOu ~ uNNCiOpihChNs
The actual entrace to the property will
be at the junction of Bradley Lane and
Wisconsin avenue, but the company
plans contemplate the widening and i'm
proving of Bradley Lane, so that it may
afford suitable approach to the boule-
ward which II is proposed to build all the
way through the nine-mile stretch to
Great Falls. An unusual effect will be
secured at the entrance to the property
since it is intended to build an entrance
tower, connected by arches to a stone
lodge. Further than this the plans con.
template trolley line which will connect
probably at Chevy Chase Circle, with the
Connecticut avenue line of the Capital
Traction Company and run all the way
through the property to Great Falls. The
boulevard and the trolley will follow ap-
proximately the same route, but they will
be separated by a wide parking. Since
several different farms included in the pur.
chase by the company have been owned
for years by members of the Bradley fam.
lily, the new corporation has chosen as the
name for its property the title Bradley
Hill"
The villa sites which will be offered foI
sale will vary in size from five acres to
fifty acres each, and the prices fixed will
be between $1,000 and $4,000 an acre.
Work on the construction of the boulevard
through the property will be begun prob
ably by January |. 1t is proposed to secure
picturesque effects by permitting the boule-
ward and all other roads to follow, at least
partially, the topography of the land. so the
roads will wind round the hills and through
the valleys always. however. maintaining
their given directions, so that travel either
by trolley or by road may be fairly direct.
The building of the trolley line. which is
intended to be a dOuble-track. standard
electric line, will be begun about March 1.
Undoubtedly one Of the features of great
est interest in Bradley Hill will be the park
which is to be provided at the Maryland
side Of the picturesque Great Falls Of the
Potomac. This park will be fully 200
acres in area, and within its boundaries
there will be scores of ideal spots for pic
nickers, not the least attractive of which
will be the shores and islands Of the lake,
named Lake Lucerne. because its rocky
islands and precipitous shores give it the
semblance, in miniature, of the famed lake
of Switzerland. In the park and overlook
ing the gorge and the tumbling waters Of
Great Falls there will be built hotel Of
several hundred rooms, designed not only
to accommodate a large population Of
summer vacationists, but to afford de-
sirable spot for summer conventions which
come to the capital.
