CYRUS MASON AGAIN
ARRESTED FOR THEFT
Charged With Stealing Cigarettes
From Short Line Booth.
ACCUSED WAS OUT ON BAIL.
Taken Several Weeks Ago For
Larceny Of Clothing From Aaron
Goodman.

Within the shadow of the place
from which he is charged to have
stolen several thousand cigarettes
late Monday night or early Tuesday
morning, Cyrus NJ, better known as
Jake" Mason, we'll known r. sident
of Annapolis, was arrested shortly
before l O'Clock this afternoon, and
is Eow confined in a cell in the city
police station, awaiting a preliminary
hearing.
Mason offered 10 resistance and
had little to say when h. was taken
into custody by Day Patrolman John
b. Holiday. 1t is stated that he had
been drinking quite heavily.
Mason is charged with stealing
cigarettes from the tobacco, candy
and newspaper booth. conducted by
Samuel Kotzin, 10 the local terminal
of the Maryland Electric Railways
(Short Line), the robbery having
been committed about midnight
Monday or some time thereafter.
The robbery was discovered Tues
day morning when Mr. Kotzin opened
the booth for the days business. He
found several full boxes OF ciga-
rettes missing, most of them being
Of the Piedmont variety. There was
no tangible clue as to the identity of
the thief. The robbery was imme-
diately reported to the police Off
cials who, in turn, notified the police
authorities of Baltimore city.
A diligent investigation was at
once started by the local police, TO-
gether with Constable George E.
Thomas. The first suspicion that
Mason had committed the theft was
gathered from information secured by
Constable Thomas to the effect that
Mason had been peddling, and in tact
had sold quantity of cigarettes to
several stores conducted by colored
people in the western section of the
city.
1t was thought that Mason had gone
to Baltimore. That was the princi-
pal reason that police officials of Bal
timore were advised to keep a sharp
10 o)kout. While the investigation by
the local police had not abated the
arrest of Mason today was effected
without difficulty, and was, in a way,
a surprise. Patrolman Holladay hap
pened to be at the Short Line station
az the 12:4 car pulled into the ter
minal His gaze suddenly fell upon
Mason standing on the platform.
Mason appeared TO have been
drinking heavily. When approached
by the officer Mason made no resist
ance whatever, but walked slowly
with Patrolman HoIladay to the police
station. Mason threw himself on the
iron cot of the cell to which he was
confined and soon fell asleep.
Mason, it will be remembered, was
out on parole. Several weeks ago
he was arrested for the larceny of
clothing valued at $50 from the store
of Aaron l.. Goodman, Main street
and Market Space. Two days later
he was arrested at q second hand
Dealers shop in Baltimore, where he
had pawned some of the clothing.
He was given preliminary hear
ing before Police Justice Dennis
Claude, who released him under bail
of $500 for the action of the grand
jury at the April term of Court. The
security was furnished by a friend

Way to Save Meat
When WeathGr'S Warm
May Be Of Mach Value to Farmers.

A great many farmers are COM
planning of having lost their meat
this year due to changes in the
weather. Many Of those who used
ice to help keep it declare that they
did not succeed. That was pro-
baby because they did not know
how to use the ice.
We have heard Of number of
farmers breaking up ice and putting
it upon their meat, almost as they
would scatter salt ever it. That is
about as bad as not to Use the ice at
all. We have also heard Of many
farmers who have placed a whole
block of ice on their meat. That
was still worse. as the moisture from
the melting ice will cause the meat
to spoil.
Every farmer knows that meat
ought to be cured dry-or as dry as
possible. Moisture contributes more
than an gthing else to the spelling Of
fresh meat. The cold-storage plants
save the meat because they are able
to chill itthrough and through with
out allowing the moisture to reach
it. If farmer is able to have a
large refrigerator or a coldstorage
room, he can save his meat as well
as it can be saved in the large pack
ing plants. But many farmers are
not able to have such modern equip
ment. They are not able to have it
and they do not kill enough meat to
make it pay them.
Now, we are going to tell the
farmers how to save their meat with
out losing any of it and at a COM
paratively small cost by using ice.
Two blocks of ice will save 1900
pounds of meat if properly used.
Here is the way to use it: Stand 2
blocks of ice on their ends in the
center at the smoke house, on the
dirt floor. Drive a piece Of scant-
ling, or plank, into the ground on
each side of the ice, so as to keep
the ice from topping over as it
m elts. 1t would be we'll to /

Mrs. PHHd Passed
Away Last Saturday
Had Relatives and Many
Friends Here.

At the ripe age Of sc. years Mrs.
Nj. J. Peed passed away last Satur-
day night at her home in Albany.
Death was due to natural causes,
her advanced age being given as the
immediate cause. Mrs. Peed was
well known here, where she had rel
atives and many friends.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted in Albany last Sunday, and
Number Of Leesburg people atten-
ded. Among them were Mrs. M. J..
Powell sister Of Mrs Peed, who was
at her bedside when she passed a.
way; Mrs. j. r. Hines, Mrs. w.
w. Hooks, Jr., Mr.. and Mrs. T.
w, Love, Messrs. George, S. J..
and Willie Powell.
Mrs. iced was a native OF Lee
county, and many years of her long
life were spent here. She went to
Albany with her son after he had
become identified with the city in a
business way, and continued to live
with him up to the time Of her
death. She frequently visited her
sister in Lee county, however, and
saw much Of her kinspeople and
friends.
Of the immediate relatives who
survive Mrs. Peed are Mr.. w. j.
Peed her only son, of Albany; Mrs.
NJ. J. Powell, Of Leesburg, her ois-
ter. One grand son lives in Houston
Texas. DR.. Patillo, the only brother
of Mrs. Peed, died a number Of
years ago. He was well known
throughout this section as a most
successful practitioner. With him
Mrs. Peed lived for a number Of
years at Adams.
The many friends Of Mrs Peed
here extend their deepest sympathy
to the bereaved relatives and sur
viying members Of the family.

piece Of wire and tie around the
braces in order to keep them secure.
Then get come green pine tops and
place them around the ice to place the
meat upon, in order to keep it off the
ground and also to give it ventilation
from below. Then lay the pieces of meat
as possible, placing the bone parts next
to the ice. Care should be taken to make
the piles of meat uniform. As the ice
melts it leaves spaces between it and the
meat, thus leaving the meat dry and
also leaves leaving space for the gases
and vapors to pass away The hone parts
of meat are.the first to spoil, SO the bone
parts should be kept next to the ice.
Where it is possible, the meat ought to
be piled so that there will be some space
between the tiers for ventilation. It can
be piled up higher than TIE blocks OF ice
and then piled above the ice, so that the
two blocks of ice win keep 1000 pounds
of meat for several weeks. u the house

E PENSIONERS WILL
RECEIVE ST 500 in 1913
That Amount Apportionsd to This County.

For the Confederate veterans Of
Lee county who are on the state
pension list there will be available
this year 81, 900 to pay pensions, as
has been recently announced by
Pension Commissioner Lindsey.
This report has just been sent to
Governor Brown by the Con mis-
sioner.
This 1900 will pay off the TWEEN
ty-six pensioners who receive their
pensions in Lee county. The
amount is comparatively small,
when the amount given to other
counties no larger than Leeis taken
into consideration. This is an ex-
cellent record Cor Lee county, how
ever, as the fewer pensioners the
more people who are able to make
their living without asking for state
aid.
Judge George H. Collier, Of the
court Of Ordinary, who is the friend
Of the veterans in Lee county and
through whom they receive their
pensions, has'announced that checks
for the pensions that are to be paid
in Lee county will be received in
February. Exact notice Of the
receipt of the pension fund for this
county will be made later, 50 that
veterans will know when to call. No
money has yet been received and it
is needless for the pensioners 10 call
before the state Send the pension
fund to the ordinary.

Records Must Be Kept
By County Officers
Law Was Passed Last
Summer

Evidence is last multiplying that
county and court officials all over
the state were caught mapping last
summer when the Legislature passed
a general law requiring oil state and
county officials who derive, their
compensation through fees to keep
itemized daily account Of all fees re-
ceived by them and to file itemized
statements OF same at the end Of
each quarter.
1t seems that but q small percent-
age Of the officials affected knew
that the law, which became effect
i've on January was passed by
the legislature, and even those few
who had knowledge Of it, had but
vague idea as to its provisions. This
fact is attested by the avalanche Of
letters which is pouring in upon
Comptroller General Wright from
the various court and county Off
Gals who are asking for full and
definite instructions about the new
law
Many Of these letters are vigorous
protests against the law, it being
claimed by the officials that no end
of extra work will be entailed upon
them. Some Of the officials Of the
counties in which large cities are To-
Gated, say the law will entail upon
them the expense Of additional
clerical help.
The intense agitation which fol-
lowed the passage Of the Law put
ting the Officials Of Fulton county
upon a salary system was but a ze-
phyr compared to the storm Of pro-
test and general disapproyal which
is greeting the general law requiring
these itemized accounts Of fees. Any
official who violates the law is gull
ty Of a misdemeanor and subject to
a fine Of 81, 900 or twelve months
on the changing. The law in ques-
ton was enacted with view to OBJ
tanning inforIs@tion upon which the
1913 legislature could frame a law
which will put all state and county
officials upon a straight salary basis.
However, it is likely that such q
law will get on the statute books
without encountering vigorous and
powerful opposition.
