New Taneytown Industry in Prospect.

New Taneytown Industry in Prospect.
1t seems practically settled that fancy
town is to have new and extensive in
dustry; one that will not only benefit the
town, but the whole surrounding coun-
try. A number of gentlemen were here
on Monday, representing the Hanover
Creamery Co., inspecting several oca-
tions and will return Friday with good
prospects of closing deal for lot of
ground for their plant.
As we understand the project, it will
be factory of dairy products: condensed
milk, fine butter, ice cream ETC., as well
as an ice factory and cold storage plant.
The proposed building will be of brick g.,
or concrete. about 70 #. long. two stories.
Ten or twelve hands will be employed.
The company has ample capital, and
understands the business. The demand
for milk will of course be greatly in
creased, and in this way will benefit our
farmers who will find it profitable to sup
ply the demand. BY another week we
hope to be able to say the project is as
spred. Carroll Record.

Compulsory School Law
To Be Put Into Effect Next
September.

September.
Peginning September /, Frederick
County will have compulsory education
law. This decision was reached by the
members of the Board of School Com
missioners last week, and was made only
after months of study of condi tons here.
Details concerning the operation of the
plan will be worked out between now
and September.
The law enabling the School Commits
sicners to decide upon compulsory
school attendance in the county was pass
ed BY the last Legislature, and it author
ICES the Commissioners to elect whether
the law shall be made applicable to their
respective counties. All children between
the ages of eight and fourteen years are
compelled to be in school. This law does
not conflict with the Child Labor Law,
which requires the children employed
during the school terms to be at least IA
years Of age.
The law provides for fine of S. for a
parent or guardian, allowing child to
remain away from school. Special officers
are to be designated to see that all chill
dren are kept in school.
Last fall the Frederick County School
Board had lists of children in the districts
of the county sent to the office, who
were then out of school, then at the end
of the fall term, and another list sent in
just after Christmas.
Superintendent White stated that while
he did not know the exact number of
children in Frederick county within the
stipulated ages, out of school, he thought
from 800 to $50 would be fair estimate.

Would Federate the Churches
ing under the strain of factory {
BY REV. CHAS. S. KNIGHT

Il Is a source of constant sorrow
and shame TO all Christians that our
churches are not making greater head
way against The evil Of this world
and setting up the Kingdom Of Christ
in the hearts and lives of men faster
than they are. We all wltdgc
that something is the matter, but We
are not quite sure what. In thinking
over this disoouraging situation, ]
am moro and more convinced that ono
Of the principal-if not the principal
best efforts, lies in the fact that We
do not present a united front against
sin. We are not united body in
Christ, we are not lifting together
ON the worlds great load OF woe. We
have not fulfilled the great desire of
Christ as expressed in his prayer Civ
on in the seventeenth chapter of John
and the twentieth and twenty-first
verses. Neither pray | for these
alone. but for them also that shall
believe en- me through their word;
that they may ALL BE ONE; as thou
father art In me, and in thee. that
they also may be one in us that the
the world may BELIEVE that Thou
hast sent ME" Instead OF this union

KENTUCKY'S GREATEST TRIAL
Probably what will be the greatest
criminal trial in the history of Ken
lucky fouds will take place at Win
chester at special term of court
before Judge Benton, beginning the
last day of this month. Eighteen men
indicted for conspiracy to kill the
former sheriff and twelve witn+ sses
charged with perjury will be brought
before the bar at that time. Some SEN
sational features are promised in the
introduction of confessions. No one
knows how far these will reach.
LEXINGTON SALOONS RECEIVE A
CHECK
An ordinance was passed in the
city of Lexington revoking all licenses
to saloons or coffee houses within four
hundred feet Of the State Univci sity
campus, 20 become effective Apr. LIST
under penalties up to 500 per day for
continuance after that date. This or
dlnance is to protect the State Uni
versity and was passed only after
spirited contest. The Trustees Of the
University threatened to go 10 the
State Legislature for authority to re-
move to another location unless some
such protective measure was passed.
WINDSTORM STRIKES THE
STATE
In the early morning on the 2lst, a
severe windstorm, averaging sixty
six miles an hoar, swept thru Ken
lucky from the South. II was accomp-
anicd with much damage to prop rty,
many buildings were unicofod, but
there was no serious loss of life. Tho
damage was widely spread thru
