GRAN NTSvILLE GOOD
ROADS CONVENTION
Was Great Success And it Looks as
Though the National Highway Would
Regain its Glory.

From correspondent at Grantsville,
under date of February II, the follow
account of the good roads meeting held
there on last Thursday, has been recei-
we'd.
That the old time glory of the Nation
al Road might, to some extent be res
tored, the glory that belonged to it in
the day when colonial burgers and
wealthy land owners in their coach-and-
tour, wended their way along it from
their business in the west to their win
ter social diversements in Washington
or Baltimore, the days when all that
went to the great west or all that re-
turned from there must pass over the
Cumberland road, then if never again
The National road, - this was the pur-
pose of the conclave at Grantsyille yes
terday.
The one who surveyed and decided
the route of the old highway was never
believer in the old saying, the long
est way round is the shortest way
home" He was ordered to find a short
a short route to the west, and the pres
ent location of the highway is evidence
that he found and founded such. Up
the Eckhart hill and down the smaller
one IuSt west Ol I TIOSlDuIR, uD Dig
Savage and down again before going up
and down its little sister and repeating
the same on Niger mountain, the road
follows the steepest possible grade.
"A direct road to the west, - he was
ordered, and he gave it. he would have
run his road up mountain at an angle
of 45 degrees rather than have sWerved
from his western course. To the pres
ent day the road runs, with never a var
ience to get the benefit of grade up and
down the sides of the Garrett ranges.
The people of the times of hundred
years ago were proud and justly 50, Of
of their road; it was bestudded, it is
true with tree stumps but these were
far softer and more agreeable than the
present road bed full of boulders. A
man once made himself famous when he
wrote pathetic song entitled IF it
Good Enough for Washington, It's Good
Enough for Me" the people of Garrett
county agreed with this sentiment for
about hundred years, and they have a
National highwayabout hundred years
behind the times.
Yesterday, over the stones and bould-
ers of Big Savage, the ruts and minia-
ture canyons of near JohnsOn's place
1the never ending series of mud holes
and foot deep ruts and half foot high
stones, bold party of citizens of Frost
burg braved the dangers that beset with
every turn of the auto wheel, and jour
neyed to Grantsville to hold conclave
with their Garrett county neighbors and
cuss and discuss the neighborhood roads
and everyone who had aught to do with
their condition.
The meeting was called to order, in
the Broadwater building, by Mayor
Henry Bong. Mr.. Chris Otto was cleo

CHARGES AGAINST COUNTY
SCHOOL SUP'T BROWNING
What The Baltimore American Said
Thursday Concerning the Case.

From the morning edition of The Bal
timore American of last Thursday the
following account of the meeting of the
State Board of Education, held in Bal
timore on Wednesday when the case of
Superintendent Browning was deferred
and moved to Oakland where the matter
will be tried next Thursday, is taken:
AS the result of vigorous and deter
mined protest on the part of Richard
Semmes, attorney for the people of
Garrett county, against the hearing of
the charges against Superintendent of
Schools Edward A. Browning Yesterday,
the State Board of Education, in session
in the Union Trust Building, postponed
the date of hearing until March 2, at
which time the trial will be held in open
court before the board at Oakland, cOun-
ty seat of Garrett county.
Mr.. Semmes' protest was based upon
the contention that he had had no Off
cial notification Of the trial being set for
yesterday, and was not prepared to
present his witnesses. He further de-
clared that, as the charges We're sent
before the board for the first time We'd
nesdaV morning, there could not posi-
bly, have been time for them to properly
consider them and decide whether they
were of a sufficiently grave character
to warrant the calling of Mr., Browning
before the body.
The charges as specifically set forth
by Mr.. Semmes are of a graver nature
than was at first supposed. Besides the
general allegations Of incompetence
and dereliction of duty, the complaint
contains charges that Mr.. Browning
had used his Office to give contracts for
school buildings to his brother in spite
of the fact that other contractors enter
ed lower bids. They further allege that
he was unjust and Disseminated against
teachers with whom he had personal
differences in the matters of salaries,
promoting his friends without refer
ence to ability Other charges are that
he failed to visit the schools of his coun-
ty twice a year as prescribed by law;
that he failed to look into the ages of a
number of teachers whom he had ap-
pointed, with the result that several
were under age, and that he was unjust
and discriminating in the award of state
scholarships.
Mr. Semmes declared, following the
decision Of the state board yesterday,
that he would prove every one of the
charges in open court at Oakland in
March.
Mr.. Browning and his attorney, Will
liam K. Offutt, were not pleased with
the decision Of the board. They con-
tended that in view of the fact that
they had received notification to appear
for the hearing and had brought two
witnesses, School Commissioners c. A.
Deftinbaugh and c. t. Ellithorpe, the
trial should be held as scheduled.
Mr.. Browning declared that the whole
affair was the outgrowth of political
differences which were agltating the
county.
There is not a good reputable man
in the whole list Of signers Of the peti-
tion for an investigation Of my office, ="
he SAID. Il will prove that to every
man, woman and child in the county
when my trial is held.
1t is expected that the Governor will
attend the hearing at Oakland and ad-
minister the oath to Witnesses.

HEARING PROMISES To
Be LARGELY ATTENDED
Interest in School Superintendent Mud.
die General Throughout County.

What promises to be a highly inter.
| estlng event to the great majority OF
| the people of Garrett county. especially
those who desire to see a change made
IN the management and administration
OF the affairs of the public school svs.
TEN OF the county, is scheduled to take
place at the court room in Oakland next
| Thursday morning when the State Board
of Education will meet to near testimo-
ny IN the case of the petitioners against
L. A, Browning, County Superintend-
ent of the public schools.
As stated in these columns last week
the State Board of Education at its
meeting IN Baltimore on Wednesday
last, upon the representations made bv
MIR. K. I. Semmes, who is attorney for
the petitioners, that it would be impos-
slble to take witnesses to Baltimore to
attend the hearing, set next Thursday
as the day and Oakland as the place to
assemble and take testimony Of the wit
nesses and to hear the arguments of
counsel on both sides. Mr.. W. R. Of
futt, OF Oakland, represents the school
superintendent.
For the petitioners a large number Of
witnesses will be summoned, the num-
Der beng VarOusly estimated at be-
tween forty and one hundred. A list
containing the names of forty-four
witnesses on the part of the petitioners
has already been forwarded to the State
Board who will issue the proper papers
and have the parties summoned. In ad-
dltion to these forty-four witnesses a
large number Of people from every sec

Willingness to appear and testify with
out the formality of being served with a
legal paper, hence it is safe to assume
that the town viii be crowded next
Thursday, for many partisans Of both
sides will be present who will not ap-
pear as witnesses.
The members Of the State Board will
probably arrive.in Oakland on train No.
3 Thursday morning. The body is com
posed of seven members, including the
Governor, who is the presiding member.
and DR.. NJ. Bates Stephens, the Secre
tary.
The probabilities are that the Board
will be in session all day Thursday, Fri
day and possibly Saturday, as it will be
impossible to examine the great num-
Der of witnesses in the matter under
three days.

Weather Extremely Bad.

The weather since Sunday has been
as blizzardly as it is possible for it to
get, barring extremely low temperature.
Snow has been falling and blowing
every day since Sunday and the result
is numerous roads are almost impassa-
BILE owing to the deep drifts with which
they are encumbered. The thermome-
ter registered on Tuesday morning eight
degrees above zero and has been hover
ing around that mark almost continu-
ously since. A continuation of similar
conditions for few days longer will
be sufficient to form ice several inches
in thickness. Little if any ice has been
harvested and stored in Oakland ice
houses, and at the Park an insufficient
quantity to meet the usual demands
has been stored in the ice house belong
ing to the Association and from which
the residents there are supplied during
the summer months.

secretary. A long discussion was then
indulged in by the citizens of the two
counties as to the condition of the pike
and its possible means of betterment.
There was no argument against it being
in bad condition. The talk at times
was warm and to the point and the sub
ject was handled without gloves, which,
after the eighteen miles of experience
that the takers had undergone was en-
tirely pardonable.
On the invitation of the chairman Mr..
Thomas johnson in few words stated
the object of the meeting.
Mr.. Johnson's address was followed
by remarks by Olin R. Rice, secretary
of the Frostburg board of trade, Dr.
Timothy Griffith, member of the board
of road directors of Allegany county,
George Stern and W. E. Hitchins, of
Frostburg. These gentlemen all sug-
gested methods, ways and means by
which they thought that desires of the
citizens of Garrett county could be
brought to an early fruition.
Mr.. Otho Fike, commissioner from
Garrett county, stated that present de-
plorable conditions was due to the fact
that the commissioners of Garrett cOun-
ty were under the impression that the
state was going to rebuild the road a
distance of five miles west from the
Allegany county line. For this reason
for the past two years no appropriation
in the annual levy hnd been made in
Garrett county. The people of Garrett
county blame the commissioners for
conditions, not having taken any inter-
est in the roads in this end of the cOun-
ty. Mr.. F'ike stated that he was will
ing to act in any capacity and do all he
could to secure a better highway for
the people of his county.
Mr.. H. Y. Hesse, superintendent Of
the Consolidation Coal Co., followed Mr.
Fike and in a short address full of
profitable suggestions impressed theidea
that an Immediately organized effort on
the part of Garrett county citizens was
necessary.
At the conclusion of the addresses
and after considerable discussion com
mittee of three consisting of H c.
Bong, Thomas johnson and c. d.
Hershberger was appointed to raise
funds and cooperate with committee
of two from the Frostburg board Of
trade to stir up STATE wide agitation
for the rebuilding of the National pike.
Mr.. D. Lindley Sloan, Of Cumberland,
was selected as the counsel and repre-
sentative for the two committees.
1t was a business mems meeting and
it was one in which business was the
sole thought. But 1t was the necessary
kind of business; the business that will
grant the farmers Of eastern Garrett
county a ready market for their produce,
that will place Grantsville on the map,
that will be of unbound benefit to every
resident of Frostburg and which will in
