MILE WAS FIRST, CHRISTINE
FOLLOWS.

Mile, one of the celebrated negro
Mile. Christine twins, died at the
home of the pair near Wilmington,
in South Carolina, while Christine
lived ON for some hours, but hrl
death came later
The twins had two heads and two
sets of legs, but had the same body.
They had been exhibited all over this
country and in Europe and could
speak several languages fucntly.
They could carry on Il conversation
with each other or could talk to
Others at the same time. They were
features at our Fairs.
The twins could eat Independently
of each other, but both could also eat
at the same time, and this they did
most of the time. While one was
asleep the other could be awake, but
as Il rule they went to sleep at the
same time.
Born in slavery times, these color
ed women were sold for $4,000, to
be used for exhibition purposes. They
were stolen from their owner in Phil
adelphia and few years later were
found in London, where they were
being exhibited. The owner recover
ed them and showed them and made
fortune.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER II, 1912.
That New County State
I1ent.

When will the new County State
rncnt make its appearance? 1t will
be recalled that the last legislature
passed law requiring the County
Commissioners to publish an itemizcd
detailed statement for all moneys re-
ceived and expended, instead Of the
old antiquated one which did not give
any information worth the snap OF
a finger, except as to witness fees,
out pensions and coroners' inqu"sts,
which in the aggregate, max" up int
up but approximately one-hundrcdth
part of the whole expenditure.
According to news item APPEAR
ing in the Frederick Neus, this new
statement may not be forthcoming
this year, for the reason that IA new
method of bookkeeping must be in
auguratcd; in fact, Mr.. Harp, Clerk
10 We \oIllIlllSSloll'IS, say = WAY ~
will take an extra clerk to compile
this work. Well, what if it does.
The taxpayers are entitled to full
knowledge of where every dollar Of
their money goes and it certainly is
not going to excuse those in authority
for not complying with the new law
this fall
The CLARION has time and again
called attention to the miserable tx.
clse for a statement that has always
been published, and we take the stand
now, that as the law requires its pub
lication in detail, that no excuse
should he sought to circumvcnt the
carrying into effect of it's publication
this fall. The writer will hazard the
assertion, that, if the books as they
are now kept, are in intelligent shape
(Which we have no doubt they are) =,
that good stenographer and type
writer will put the whole thing IN
shape for the printer in one week by
the present clerk to the board dictat-
ing the items.
Let any one take the Washington
County statement and it will be seen
at glance that the job is not so big
as it might seem. For instance, in
each district the supervisors get SO
much per mile for road work accord
ing to the levy and perchance some
thing extra for emergency work. Is
it very hard.to say that Mechanics
town District got $3.50, expended as
follows: Jones $40, Brown $25, Smith
$50, new bridge over Hunting Creek
Sl25, thus accounting for the whole
of the $3.50? The people expect this
new statement and our County Com
missioners should get busy.

Enlarging Mill.

The Union Manufacturing Company of
this place finds the large room in the Odd
Fellows Building too small for their
knitting mill and are now having erected
a large frame building on the lot in the
rear of the building in which to store
goods and install heating plant. The
business of the company is ever on the
increase and help is in constant demand.
Any girl or woman wanting employment
can obtain same by applying at the mill.

Reports from Frederick state that en-
tries in the poultry department are SO
great that 1000 to 1900 more fowls have
been entered for which no space can be
provided.
From present indica tons the stock and
cattle departments will also be over
crowded as the limit of accommodations
has already been reached. The entries
in the stock departments closed Tuesday.
Race entries are also very numerous
and it is expected that the classes will
all be we'll filled.
