Editorial Opinion
THE lOuNTY LEYY

From the Princess Anne Marylander.
The County Commissioners have
piece of work to perform each year
tnat requires good management and
business judgments. Providing tor
the countys expenses is not a simple
matter, as those who criticise would
soon discover we're they in a similar
Official position. To eliminate unnec-
cessary expenses and keep the tax
rate within due limits, is no small
problem.
The levy, of which we gave a brief
synopsis last week, is published in full
on our second page. A perusal of this
will show the disposition of each item
of public expense. The taxable basis
of county is 81 .651,5 which is moth
ing like so large as that Of some of the
other counties on the Shore To pro-
vide for incidental expenses and gem
eral appropriations to the amount of
SS6,S71.S5 necessitates a tax rate of
S1.07. Adding the State rate of % IA,
the total rate is S1.30 Ia.
In scrutinizing the items Of expense
it is impossible to see how any could
have jeen omitted or how the Commits
sioners could have avoided in the
general appropriations any of the
amounts named. Elections have to
be held and the new primary law has
more than doubled the expense. The
public schools have to be maintained
and the law so circumscribes the
School and County Commissioners as
TO demand a much larger sum than
ever before, especially as some former
sources of revenue have been greatly
reduced So with the roads. bridges,
almshouse courts, Jail, hospitals, re-
deml tion of bonds, etc. So far as the
public schools are concerned. the Com
missioners we're asked for 100000 by
the School Board but they felt that
s27 900 was all they could see the way
clear to provide.
Those who know the County Com
missioners. their clerk and his assist
ant and have taken the pains to visit
their office whilst the levy was being
prepared, can not fail TO have seen
with what patience and care every
item Of the levy was examined or 20
have observed their endeavor to per-
NIT no part of the taxable basis to
be lost sight Of The county officials
have undoubtedly done the best with
the levy that was possible and the
county is to be congratulated that it
has a board whose members have ex-
hibited a conscientious appreciation Of
duty in the working out of a difficult
problem.

BULL MOOSE COCKTAIL.
Oyster Bay Dispensary Chemist
Evolves Dynamite Rival.

oyster Bay UlSpenSary chemist
Evolves Dynamite Rival.
OYSTER BAY, l.. l.. July 17.-From
the home Of the Bull Moose the Bull
Moose cocktail goes forth into the
world. Il was invented by bartender
on Main street after he had listened
for three hours to an argument be-
tween seven of his customers on the
Colonel's real chances in November.
The bartender lives in New York,
and he said he wanted a cocktail
strong enough to carry him to the
Pennsylvania terminal. Under the
dazed inspiration of the talkfest, he
began putting things from bottles In
a mixing glass. The effect of the com
bination was so satisfactory he at
once put it on his list, and in these
strenuous Oyster Bay days it enjoys
great popularity.
Men on their way to Sycamore Hill
drink one and meet the Colonel's iron
ip without fiinching. When he has
told them all he expects to do they
dash back 20 the village and drink
two and go back to New York believe
ing it s all going to happen.
This is the Bull Moose cocktail;
Two-thirds vermouth.
One-Sixth dry gin.
One-sixth Plymouth gin.
Dash of orange bitters.
Dash of Angostura bitters.
Dash of any good nerve tonic.
Dash of brandy.
A taxioab should be ordered just be-
fore drinking the third cocktail
The inventor has announced MS in
tention of sending a sample cocktail to
DR.. Lyman Abbott OF the Outlook, for
his best judgment.

The six Delaware delegates TO the Chicago conven-
ton did their full duty. There is nothing in what
they did for which they should apologize to anyone
and much in what they did to commend them to the
respect and gratitude Of Delaware Republicans They
stood bravely for Republican principles, policies,
practices and candidates at time when many other
delegates. who should have followed their example
swept on their feet by the onsaughts Of those
who were trying to wreck the Republican party. Our
delegation was small one but it stood the acid
test of party loyalty in convention in which many
larger deegtions simply went to pieces.

Happiness Through
Adaptability.


On of the most delightful at
tributes of so%e persons whom
you and l know is their adapta-
bility; their capacity for changing
their plans as circumstances
change, and making the best of
whatever comes. Eve has in
mind a family who were looking
forward with great pleasure, all
winter and spring, to the summer
they were going to have in Eu-
rope. 1t was a trip they had been
hoping for all their lives, but had
never seen their way clear till
this year, when they had grown
q little more prosperous. They
said that if anything happened
to disappoint them they would
be heartbroken. And then q
bank failed!
They were not really heart
broken after all. They were con.
siderabiy crushed, Of course, but
in a week they were planning for
a month or two over at a Pass;
and that seemed the finest thing
could be imagined, IN the
schemes they were forming for
that little outing. And then
came the overflow!
1t happened that the overflow
was the straw that broke the
camels back, for the little farm
which meant . great deal to them
went under-and stayed under.
We're they heartbroken this
time? When Eve saw them last
they were having q big rustic
gallery made out of the little gal
lery at the back-wide extending
caves, open sides; screened il
from flies aud mosquitoes; and
they were the happiest people
one would see in many a day. get
ting a table and chair rocking
chairs, too; and a swinging couch
and some growing plants, out in.
to that gallery: and they said
they were looking forward Il
the happiest summer that they
had ever spent. When things
changed. they just changed their
tpoint of view. When they
couldn't have what they wanted
why they simyly wanted some
thing else that they could have.

mill, responsible for the killing of
Decatur Hall. The responsibility
for the other two deaths was not
fixed.
G, O. Holley and J. A. Green
testified that Galloway killed Hall
by shooting him in the back
while he was running away from
the scene Of battle. Holley, who
was not concerned, except as a
spectator, SAID that when the
shooting began his horse took
fright and ran away: Holley
jumped from the buggy and ran
down the road toward DeRidder.
Hall was running fifty feet ahead.
Holley turned to look back and
saw Galloway, standing on the
Office gallery, fire in the direction
of Hall. Hall fell, and Holley
ran on. Green said he was stand.
ing on the gallery Of the store
when Galloway opened the Office
door, came out and began firing
| in the direction Of Hall. Hall
fell at the third shot.
George Gibson placed the re-
sponsibility of beginning of the
battle on Galloway. He said he
was sitting in his surrey listening
to Emerson when Galloway and
ID. W. McFuller, the postmaster,
entered the office. Galloway
came out again, and fired two
shots toward the wagon whore
Emerson was speaking. after
which the firing became general.
McFuller, on the contrary, swore
he was sitting on the gallery lis.
tening to Emerson when the first
shot was fred. He then went in.
to the Office, followed by several
Of Galloway's men.
Charles Gibbon said he saw
Galloway 90 into the Office, get
bis gun and fire at Emerson, the
speaker.
B. A. Hazard, log scaler fol
the Galloway Lumber Company,
gave . different version Of the be.
