STATE CAN SAVE FEES.

Among the amendments to the State
Constitr ton adopted at the last election
was one authorizing the General
Assembly of MARYLAND to do away with
the multiplicity of attorneys that now
draw salerIes from the State and
substitute a legal department under
the direction of the Attorney General.
How far the change shall go depends
upon the action of the Legislature.
Drafts of laws that will make a clean
sweep are now being considered.
1t is the general impression that the
Attorney Generals office Is to be or
gained along the same lines as the
City Solicitors office in Baltimore city.
This plan would provide for a number
of deputies or assistants to be appointed
by the Attorney General.
Among the boards and departments
who now have attorneys whose tenure
of Office is considerered at stake are
the following:
Election Supervisors drought the
State.
School Boards throughout the State.
County Commissioners throughout the
State.
The statement has been made that
more than 100 attorneys are involved
in the proposed change and that the
State now pays out more than $780, 600
year for legal advice.

THE DEATH RECORD
EDWARD HOOD sINCELL.

Wednesday morning this community
heard with much sorrow of the death
of Edward Hood Sincell, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward H. Sincell, at the family
home. Edward Hood Sincell was born
in Oakland, December %. 1891. He
was educated at Pennsylvania College,
Gettysburg, Pa, graduating theretrom
last June. He was preparing himself
for entrance to Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity for course in medicine next fall.
Six weeks ago he was stricken with
typhoid fever and was very i'll from the
start. He had the very best medical
attention, but his condition, owing to a
former illness, was such that his re-
Operative powers could not respond to
the treatment. The funeral will take
place Sunday at 1890 a, m. from the
Methodist church. Among the young
people Edward had many friends, he
was bright student and was hopeful
of promising future. In this hour of
affliction the family have the deepest
sympathy of the community.
He is survived by his parents, one
brother Milton, his maternal grand
father, paternal grandmother, a num-
Der of uncles and aunts, and host of
warm friends. R

lecture-room cars were always filed
with eager listeners. The live stock
car with its high bred dairy animals, and
its equipment, as a modern barn, de-
lighted all who visited it. Those in
charge were ever ready to explain ana
answer questions.
At least so pupils of the Oakland
High school visited the tram, Farmers,
their wives and daughters for miles
around Oakland were present. Mr.. W.
A. Smith brought up load of interest
ed people from Hoyes. Hundreds of
Oakland men and women were in at
tendance.
The farmers train was great success
and must result in much good. The
Western Maryland College and the
B. & o. Railroad Company are to be
congratulated on the splendid thought
which brought about this train.
1t Is to be regretted that the train
could not have been held here for two
or three days, and the largest hall in
town secured for the lectures. They
were worthy of it.

WHAT RED CROSS SEALS Do.

Every Red Cross Christmas Seal that
is sold isa real bullet in the fight against
tuberculosis. These seals last year
helped to support thousands of needy
tuberculosis patients and to give them
a chance for life. They provided for
many visiting nurses, whose hundreds
of thousands visits brought instructions
and cheer to numerous patients. They
helped maintain dispensaries in scores
of cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
where thousands of consumptive
patients received free treatment, aid
and advice They provided the means
to purchase millions of copies of cir
culars, pamphlets and other literature
with which the public has been educated
about tuberculosis. They have es-
tablished and helped to maintain more
than $50 open-air schools for children
who needed open-air treatment. These
are Just few of the ways in which the
S400,0 900 received last year was ex-
pended. This year $l,OO0,OO0 is need
ed. Surely every one can help by buy
ing at Leaf ten seals.

PROMINENT REPUBLICANS
TO MAKE 4 SURVEY
Prominent State Leaders to Be
Guests Of Andrew Ramsay Of the
State Road Commission.

Prominent Republican leaders of
Maryland have been invited bv Andrew
Ramsay, d member of the State Roads
Commission, to he his guest at dinner
at the Queen City Hotel, in Cumberland,
on Thursday evening. The dinner was
originally planned as a compliment to
Governor Goldsborough and few
friends. At first it had no political
significance. When it became generally
known that the Governor, Senator
jackson ard other leaders would be DIR.
Ramsay S guests, the affair was seized
upon by Western Maryland Republicans
as an opportune moment to review
party conditions and to prepare for
battles of the future, as we'll as to ex-
tend a welcome to the distinguished
visitors. The occasion seemed to meet
a general demand, not only in Western
Maryland. but throughout the state,
that the responsible leaders of the Re-
publican party should get together, put
their heads together, calmly review the
unfavorable results of the election, de-
termine as far as possible the causes
which produced the result, and proceed
to eliminate the causes.
Because of the. apparent need of
such occasion the dinner:at Cumberland
has developed into Republican state
wide event. Those leaders who have
accepted invitations have agreed that
whatever they will say will be entirely
of a suggestive nature. They have de-
clared that they are unwilling to AFRO
gate to themselves the important task
of determining what the Republican
party shall and shall not do. They say
! they are willing to take first steps,
expecting other Republicans torough-
same spirit by which they will be guild
ed, namely, to let the dead past bury
its dead, to lock to future that looms
up brightly, and to look to subordinate
| all personal aim, and ambitions to the
general welfare of the party. Mr..
Ramsay will permit his guests to give
free reign to their views in speeches,
which will be limited to Is minutes
each. He had not intended that his
dinner should take on political hue,
( but realizing that men Of the character
of his guests will not forego political
discussion when brought together, he
has yielded. The circle is constantly
charging

GRAND JURY REPORT.
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county.

To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county.
The Grand Jury for the December
term, 1918, of the Circuit Court for
Garrett county, having now com
pleted our labors, desire to make
our report to the court and receive our
discharge.
We have had before US and examined
SO witnesses, and have found % present
ments and indictm ents.
We have found presentments in all
cases in which we believed the evidence
justified and have ignored trivial cases
and those cases in which the evidence
did not warrant presentments.
In accordance with the instructions of
your honor, we have inspected the
several county buildings and have found
them all in good condition except that
we find that there is leak in the court
house above the Orphans court room
which should be repaired at once.
The records in the several offices in
the court house are correctly and neatly
kept. We recommend that additional
filing cases and an additional book
case be procured for the USE of the
Orphans Court, and would also recon-
mend that a toilet be installed on the
tnird floor of the court house for the
use of the grand jurors. Additional
vault space should be provided in the
office of the county treasurer, as the
same is insufficient to-meet the require
ments of said office. We would also
recommend that the county COM
missioners provide additional cots and
blankets for use in the Jail.
We desire to express our thanks and
appreciation to the court, the States
Attorney and the county officials for
the kindness shown US and assistance
rendered US in the discharge OF our
duties.
We now beg to be discharged.
