TO IMPROVE GARRETT
COUNTY LIVE STOCK.
Prizes To Be Given for Best Colts
Shown at Exhibit On Oct. | 18th.

The matter of holding colt show and
exhibit of Garrett county animals and
those from nearby points in West Vir-
ginia, is being pushed by some of our
farmers and horse breeders, who be-
lieve that it would be the means of
stimulating the desire for the raising of
better horses in the county by farmers
generally.
1t is proposed to hold the show in
Oakland on October 18th, when prizes
will be offered for the best colts exhib-
tied. The prizes will be eighteen in
number and range from $500 to $50. 90.
A representative from the Expert
ment Station at College Park has been
correspondent with and has consented to
come to Oakland at that time for the
purpose of acting as judge. Efforts
have also been made to have a United
States army veterinarian come also.
AS yet the latter has not been heard
from, but the promoters of the show
expect to secure the services of one for
! the occasion.
1t is proposed to charge a small en-
trance fee and the exhibit will be limit
ed to sucking colts. Colts from West
Virginia within five miles of the Garrett
county line will be admitted.
ANY one desiring further information
or particulars should address Stephen

MARYLANDERS GOING
BACK TO GETTYSBURG
Soldier Sons OF Old Line State To
Bridge The Bloody Chasm.

Fifty years ago today two great
armies were converging on Gettysburg,
then little village unknown outside
the State, but soon to be famed the
world over as the scene of one of the
greatest battles of modern times.
Today survivors of these same great
armies are about to march upon historic
Gettysburg, there to clasp hands, to
swear allegiance to a reunited nation
and to sit down like brothers and talk
over the "times that tried men S
souls.
Fifty years ago some $50, 600 men, in
blue and gray, marched and counter
marched, advanced and fell back and
grappled in the fury of battle around
the little Dutch burg. Many of them
stayed there-thousands of them. They
are there still, in unbroken ranks, their
duty done, the roar and rumble of battle
over-resting.
And thousands of their comrades
those who come back are going there
within few days to celebrate the fif-
tieth anniversary of the battle of July l,
and 3, 1868. Those who are gong
are wearers of both the blue and
the gray. 1t is not to be a one-sided
celebration-a victory" jubilee, be-
cause if the palm of victory at Gettys-
burg belongs to those who fought for
Old Glory; to those who followed the
folds of the Southern Cross belongs the
palm of the good soldiers faithful unto
death.
Maryland is to have her just share in
the anniversary celebration, because
Maryland played her part at Gettys-
burg when history was hot in the max
ing. The Civil War was truly a
brothers war for Maryland's sons, but
whether they wore the blue or the gray
they did their duty well, as became
descendants of that MARYLAND Line
which saved Washington army at
Long Island.
Maryland was represented in the
Federal Army at Gettysburg by three
full regiments of infantry, a regiment
and battalion of cavalry and battery
of artillery. The famous First Mary
land, Colonel Kenly's regiment, was a
part of the reserve defending Washing
ton. Other Maryland commands were
in service during the Gettysburg cam
paign, but were not actually engaged
in the great battle.
The infantry regiments at Gettysburg
were the Third, Col. Josesh NJ Suds-
burg; the First Potomac Home Brigade
Regiment, Col. William p Maulsby,
and the First Eastern Shore Regiment,
Col. James Wallace. These commands
were attached to Lockwood's Brigade
of the Twelfth ArmY.Corps and were in
the hottest of the fighting. The First
Regiment Potomac Home Brigade was
at Cups Hill, where it exchanged COM
pliments with its brothers of the Second
Maryland Confederate and lost heavily.
The First Maryland Federal Cavalry,
Col. James M. Deems, and the Purnell
Legion Cavalry, Capt. Robert E. Duvall,
were a part of Col. John B. Mcintosh s
brigade of David Mem. Gregg S division,
and both commands did gallant service
in the hard fighting with "Jeb" Stuart {
cavalry before and after the big battle
The Maryland Light Artillery was
also engaged at Gettysburg.

WANT LETTERS MARKED
Time OF Arrival To BE Stamped Is
Demanded.

The longest and loudest wall of dis
tress heard by the new Democratic ad-
ministratiOn has reached Washington
from thousands of small cities, villages,
hamlets and other centers of rural
America. 1t is cry of protest against
the action of Postmaster General Bur
Lesson in abolishing the back-stamping
of letters.
Formerly a postmaster was required,
as soon as he opened a mail bag, to
stamp letters on the back with the date
and hour of arrival and then to sort
them for delivery. Mr.. Burleson
thought this practice consumed too
much time and he ordered it omitted.
The complaints Invariably have been
to the effect that village postmasters
are holding back the mail of their bust
ness competitors or their political or
personal enemies. When back stamp
ing was required, postmaster could
not Withhold mail without being convict
ed by the silent testimony of the arrival
date.

LEAGUE HEAD BE-
LIENES WET MEMBERS HAVE
BEEN CONVERTED 1890 GRAFT
FLED AT STUART's REPLY.

NORFOLK, VA, May 2s.--If ]. w.
Hough, president of the Virginia
Anti-Saloon league, is a good prophet
as to the attitude OF the next legisla-
ture on the liquor question. 1t can be
stated now that in comparatively
short time the people or Virginia
will have the privilege of deciding
whether the State shall be wet" or
dry"
Mr.. Hough said that he felt con-
fident that both houses of the 1914
legislature would vote in favor of
submitting Statewide prohibition to a
vote of the people.
Position OF Stuart PIeases Him.
A few Gays ago Mr. Hough, on be-
half of the Anti-Saloon league. in
ouired of Henry G. Stuart how he
stood on the subject of a prohibition
enabling act. Commenting on Mr..
Stuart's reply later he declared It
entirely satisfactory, adding that he
saw no reason why the Anti-Saloon
league should not feel gratified at
Mr.. Stuart's candidacy for the gov
ernorship. Mr.. Stuart said in his let
ter of reply to the Anti-Saloon league
president that If an enabling act were
passed by the legislature he would
sign it.
THE position OF Mr.. Stuart pleases
me highly" said Mr.. Hough. land I

VICTORY FOR VETERANS.

AS domesticated animal. the Confederate
veteran blessed with wife and daughters prob
ably is meek as any other man. AS part of
an organization and away from home he hoists
boldly the standard of revolt, becomes a rebel,
out of arms, and announces secession from femi-
nine domination. One of the first general orders
for the parade at Chattanooga is that woman
riding astride shall be allowed to ride in the
procession The report is that many women
have protested against this. but that the pro
tests were ignored and the order enforced.
Doubtless many a good old soldier has fought
and lost this battle at home The veteran ma
turally is a conservative, adherent of old
fashioned ideas especially as regards social pro
prieties and womany modesty. Therefore when
he has presented to him the question of the
abandonment OF the side saddle by his own fam
lily he protests instantly Then he learns more
of sfeges and strategy than his experience in
actual warfare taught him. He is beleagured
from many points. assaed In every way by forces
that never tire and can be routed decisiveIy.
Weapons are employed with which he may be
familiar but against which his martial training
has taught him no means of resistance and
OF which his marital training has taught him
the power. He finds himself at last overriden and
forced to surrender at indescretion and with
out any of the honors of
Therefore 1t may be imagined with what de-
light he finds himself when more at elbow
touch with his former comrades and part OF an
authority which even the women cannot over
come. He finds his tastes and preferences main
tained by military and memorable orders. At
similar gatherings in the past he has felt and
seen the military element of reunions subor
dinated TO the millinery the heroes OF many vic
tories less regarded than the heroines of many
conquests, the men who triumphed amid bullets
displaced by the girls who won glory among
halls, those who have tasted powder sent TO the
rear in defeat by those who only use It, Now
no has his vengeance and may feel once more
that he Is master of the field Once more he
Is a conqueror and with an organized body
has his way. Let us rejoice that for one time
and at one place, at least, traditional Southern
notions of what IS womanly and becoming in
woman and distaste for the mannish woman
eagerly unsexing herself has prevailed, even
though 1t took the entire body of the United
Confederate veterans to accomplish the result
