ANDREW J. OESTER MAY
Be APPOINTED SHERIFF
He Was Recommended Yesterday BY
the Republican County Committee.

A meeting of the Republican COM
mittee for Garrett county was held
yesterday at which Messrs. George
d. Browning, of Friendsville, and
N. U. Bond, of Oakland, were pres
ent, the meeting being held for the
purpose of recommending someone for
the office OF Sheriff, to succeed the late
Sheriff Maffett.
The commute did not arrive at a
conclusion until about five O'Clock last
evening when the members transmit
ted the name of Mr.. Andrew j. Oester
of near Bittinger, to the Governor, and
recommended his appointment.
Mr.. Oester, who is a member of the
committee, but who was not present at
the meeting, did not and probably does
not know at the time this paper goes to
press, that his name was under con-
sideration by his fellow committeemen.
He was taken up as a compromise can
didate. the other applicants for the
appointment being Messrs. Austin
Brown, Albert Ashby and George A.
Dewitt.
Whether or not the Governor will
follow the recommendation of the COM
mittee we are unable to state, but the
probabilities are that he will and that
Mr.. Oester, who at one time served
as sheriff of the county, will be appoint
ed at an early day.

COAL LAND CASE DECIDED.
Title to Valuable Coal Holdings Set
tied By Court Of Appeals.

The Court of Appeals of Maryland
has handed down decision in the case
of Manor Mining and Manufacturing
Company against Edward H. Sincell
and John T. Mitchell, and by the de-
cision the contentious of Messrs. Sincell
and Mitchell have been fully sustained.
The case arose in the land Office of
the State when the Manor Company
filed caveat to the certificate of sur
vey of tract of land which Messrs.
Sincell and Mitchell had taken up in
the vicinity of Kitzmiller. The Com
missioner of the land office overruled
the cayeat of the Manor Company and
the latter appealed to the Court of APP
peals. The Court of Appeals by it's
decision has affirmed the ruling of the
Commissioner of the land office and the
patent heretofore granted will stand.
This is valuable property located in
the heart of the best coal producing
section of the Icounty and the tract is
question affords an outlet to other
valuable coal holdings of Messrs. Sincell
and Mitchell located in that vicinity.

PRIMARIES WILL LIKELY
Be HELD SEPTEMBER 8
This Date Seems To Be Acceptable To
All Parties.

John B. Hanna, chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee and
General Murray Vandiver, chairman of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee. will hold a conference today, at
which they will agree upon date for
holding joint primaries. 1t is more
than probable that representative of
the Progressive party will be invited to
attend in order to avoid any legal COM
complications that may arise because of
a failure to consult that party.
1t looks as though the date to be
agreed upon will be Tuesday, Septem-
Der 8, which will be within the law, re-
quiring that the date be five weeks prior
to .the general election, on Tuesday,
November 4. If Messrs. Hanna and
Vandiyer fail to agree on date, the
law automatically fixes the second Mon
day in September as the primary cleo
ton date. The law requires that the
primary shall be held not earlier than
September and not later than Septem-
Der Is.

A BAD ACCIDENT To
CRELL|N MILL WORKER
Morgan FairchiIdSustained Injury Yes
terday Which May Result Seriously.

Yesterday morning Morgan Fairchild,
Young man aged about twenty years,
son of Mr.. Louis Fairchild, a valued
employee on the mill owned by the Ken
dali Lumber Company, located at Crel-
lin, few miles west of Oakland. met
with very serious accident which may
result in permanent injury and make
him a cripple for life.
Mr.. Fairchild was engaged on the
mill in his usual capacity when a log
rolled against him, catching his right
leg between it and another log and
crushing it so seriously that amputation
of the injured limb may be necessary,
although this has not been determined
by the attending physician, DR.. Henry
w. McComas, who was called immedi-
ately after the accident occurred and
who rendered the necessary surgical
attention.
The injured young man is highly
thought of by his employers and those
associated with him in his work. all OF
whom sincerely regret the occurrence.

Overcome at Picnic.

Monday the Junior League of the M.
E. church, which is composed of about
fifty young boys and girls. went on a
picnic under the chaperonage of Miss
Grace Loar, the leader of the class. A
splendid time was had by the young
folks. Shortly after they had partaken
of supper which had been spread under
the trees, five or six or the boys thought
it would be the proper thing to go swim
ming and thev accordingly wended their
way to a nearby stream. Harold Jack
son, one of the party. had hardly gotten
into the water until he was stricken
with cramps and almost completely
overcome. He was hurriedly bundled
into an auto and brought to his home
where he was attended by physician.
While he is much better now, he was
quite i'll for a day or two.

AUTO-T TRUCK DESTROYED
BY FIRE TUESDAY MORNING
1t Was the Property Of Or. Webster
Rayenscraft Who Loses $500.

An international Harvester Company
auto-truck, owned by DR.. w. Ravens
croft of Oakland, was entirely consum-
ed by fire Tuesday morning, entailing a
loss of about $500 upon the owner OF the
machine
The truck, used by the owner in
transferring goods and passengers from
Oakland to the end of the State road,
had been sent to McHenry early on
Tuesday morning and was being driven
by Cal Menhorn, a youth who was en-
ploYed at the Ravenscroft garage. The
trip to McHenry was made but upon the
return trip to Oakland the engine back
fired and set used grease which had ac-
cumulated in the drip pan on fire. This
quickly communicated TO the wooden
bed and in a very few moments there
after the gasoline tank exploded, scat
tering the burning fluid over the entire
car. A telephone message to the garage
from the Browning home, near which
the accident occurred. soon had Dr. Ra-
venscroft and number of other auto
mobilists on the way to the scene, TAX
ing with them three chemical fire ex-
tinguishers, but upon aheir arrival the
car was mass of twisted irons while
the wooden work had been practically
consumed
Fortunately young Menhorn escaped
without serious injury, being slightly
burned on his arm.

Junior Brown" At Gettysburg.

Congressman "Junior" Brown of the
Second West Virginia district, proved
to be one of the good angels at the
Gettysburg reunion last week. Taking
his automobile, he went to the scene of
the battlefield of fifty years ago and
instead of riding around at his ease and
looking at the old soldiers trudging
along over the rough ground under a
torrid sun and with limbs weakened by
age, he made his car the home of every
veteran of either army whom he could
accommodate. Gathering up load of
old soldiers caring not whether they
wore the blue or the gray, he would
carry them to all parts of the battle
field and let them go over the days of
fighting in which they had participated
half century ago, and then he would
go for another load and repeat the pre-
Torrance all day. Many an old fellow
who could not otherwise have covered
the ground, got another glimps of the
old battlefield through the courtesy of
Mr.. Brown. Newspaper men from
other states saw and commented upon
what Mr.. Brown was doing and he won
warm spot in many a heart by his
treatment of the old fellows and the
good time he gave them.

CORN GROWING.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has issued bulletin
which is of interest to farmers every
where. 1t has the. title How to Grow
an Acre OF Corr" and was written by
C. P. Hartley. a department expert,
who IS in charge of corn investiga-
tions.
In the introduction the bulletin
sets forth that for no ten-year period
has the corn yield Of the Unit d
States ever exceeded twenty-eight
bushels to the acre; that no state has
averaged for any year more than
ffty-four bushels TO the acre, and that
"as states and as nation twice as
much land is being used and mueh
more labor being performed in produc-
j ing the corn crop than is necessary
Large yields have been secured On
experimental acres and otherwise in
practically every state in the union
in almost every county in some Of
the states Mr.. Hartley thinks that
i the acre yield of corn in the United
states can be doubled. The informa-
ton in the bulletin Is most valuable
as Mr. Hartley tells what kind of corn
TO grow how 70 begin corn improve
ment work; how to select the ground
and how to fertilize it, cultivate II
, and protect IT from insect enemies.
t ADVICE also is given as to harvesting
drying and caring for seed corn and
for determining the yield.

requirements Of the crop. These are

WOMEN AS JURORS, AGAIN.

Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, head of the
department of PHYSIOLOGY at Har-
ward College, says that women are un-
fit for jury duty because they will not
listen to argument He proved it by
showing some of them cards with dots
on them and asking how many dots
there were Then he gave several min
utes for argument and again asked for
the number, when the same number of
women who had answered correctly
the first time again gave the correct
answer. This proves, he says, that
argument does not help women, while
men subjected to the same test changed
their minds after hearing what other
men thought about the number CT
dots. And this it is that Professor
Muensterberg finds stands in the way
of effective jury duty on the part Of
women They will not follow argu-
ments, nor will they draw conclusions
from either facts or argun ents. They
know before hand what they believe
and, on the juries. says the professor,
they Will vote that way to the end.

PITY AND ENVY.


II you could know this day must be
your last.
That ere tomorrow all your work
must cease,
Gould you keep pressing on as in the
past,
Or would you halt to plan for future
peace?
Would there be any wrong of other
days
That you would, trembling, hasten
to set right,
And would you, needless at the pub
lies praise,
Behold with fear the coming of the
night?
If SO, however great the thing you do
However rich you are, l pity you.
If you could know that after this fair
day
The mask of death must lie upon
your face,
Would there be no dark stains to clear
away,
No misdirected steps you would re-
trace?
The guerdon that you seek, would it
retain
The value that you place upon it
now?
And would you bravely press ahead to
gain
At last the precious laurels for your
brow?
If SO, however small the thing you do,
However poor you are, envy you.
