satisflc toriIy Settled.

The 'erg disputed question between
MARYLAND and Virginia over the right
OF fishery in the Potosac river has at
last been settled and largely through
tie efforts of Senator FreIe of this
County. The quarrel has been goiI g
on fer half a century, aud committees
after committees have been AFRO nted
to try to adjust the aptagoinis ie coL-
tentiuns but il remained at last for
Charles County to bring the matter to a
satisfactory co, clusion with its Senator,
Frere, the head of the Joint committee
and the real active worker. The
Virginia Legislature appointed CON-
mittee to confer with similar connie
tee appointed ny our legislature to con
fer and during the week the two CON-
mittees met and elected Senator Frere
Chairman of the joint committee. The
joint committee met promptly, ans
common sence prevailing, the body soon
agreed upon terms most satisfactory
Concurrent legislation is now to be
passed by both the Legislatures and the
work will be completed. There were
five on the Maryland Committee. but
Senator Frere practically did all the
work and the State owes him debt Of
gratitude for a public service Efficiently
and faithfully rendered. Later We
will publish the terms of the agreement
in detail.

HOW TO SUCCEED

During the lastSfew years conditions
In all lines of business, even profess
sional life, have changed so completely
that every man is waking up to the
fact that in order to win success he
must specialize and learn to do some
one thing, and do 1t well.
So 1t Is with any article that is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount of advertising will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by DR., Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver
and Bladder Remedy. From the very
beginning the proprietors had so much
confidence in 1t that they invited every
one to test It, free of cost, before pur-
chasing.
1t is a physicians prescription.
They have on file thousands of let
ters received from former sufferers who
are now enjoying good health as a re-
suit of its use.

WILSON DEMOCRATS
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
To Ask State Convention to Urge
Enactment of Efficient Statute
Providing Presidential Primaries.

|. "A meeting of the Woodrow Wilson
Democratic club was held last night
at the federal court room for the
purpose of talking over the political
situation and especially to consider
the action of the democratic pri-
mary chairman in disquaIifying all
democrats who did not vote the
straight democratic ticket in the late
city election. Several talks were
made, in which the primary methods
were denounced The test prescribed
was declared by several not to be
authorized by the Terrell election
law, and the course Of the chairman
was declared to be arbitrary and unl
reasonable.
The provisions Of the law refer
ing specifically to primary conven-
tions as set forth in Section 139.
were read, being to the following ef-
feet:
THE qualified voters of each pre-
cinct of the county shall assemble
on the date named and shall be pre-
sided over by chairman who shall
have been previously appointed by
the county executive committee of
the party and shall be a qualified
voter in said election precinct and
said convention may elect from
among their number a secretary and
such other officers as may be NEG
essary to conduct the business of the
convention"
According to this, it was pointed
out. the only qualification prescrib-
ed in Section 159 is that the voters
must be qualified voters of the pre-
cinct in which they offer to vote,
while the only real test of the vot-
ers' right to participate in the pri-
mary conventions is by analogy.
found in the provisions for primary
election, in which voters must sub
scribe themselves as members of the
party holding the primary and pledge
themselves to vote for the nominees
of the primary.
The sentiment of the meeting was
voiced finally in the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That the democratic
state convention to be held at Hous-
ton be and is hereby requested by
the Woodrow Wilson club Of Browns
vile to urge upon the next legisla-
ture the enactment Of an efficient
statute providing for presidential
preference primary elections, and q
test which shall be uniform through.

thirds of the council approve Of the
appointments they become effective.
Mr. Crixell said that, az he under
stood the power of the police COM
mittee, Of which he Is chairman, it
does not have the power Of hiring or
discharging officers, but was merely
to investigate in order to be able to
advise the council.
Mr.. Kirk asked to be allowed to
submit the following ordinance in
regard to police regulations:
An ordinance creating and estab-
fishing a police department in and
for the City of Brownsville, Texas,
and providing for the manner of ap-
pointing police officers and subordi-
mates.
Be it ordained by the City Council
of the city of Brownsville. Texas.
Section First-That there is here
by created and established in and
for the city of Brownsville, Texas,
a police department which shall be
composed of the chief of police, and
such officers and subordinates as
may be, from time to time, desig-
mated by the city council.
I Section Second-That the officers
and subordinates of the police force
are hereby established as follows:
one lieutenant Of police, /. one day
clerk, one pound master and such
rumber of policemen or patrolmer
and mounted policemen or patrol
men, as shall be provided in the an
nual budget; all of whom shall b,
nominted by the mayor on the sec
