Western MARYLAND News,

President J. H. Fitzgerald, of the W..
M. Railway Company, today announced
the appointment of his chief clerk, Mr..
w. T. Stringer, as assistant to President.
This is a new position with the Western
Maryland, the post just having been
created.
Mr.. Clarence H. Porter, who has been
connected with the Office of the chief ex-
ecutive of the railway company, has
been made chief clerk to the president,
to fill the vacancy caused by the promo
tion of Mr.. Stringer. The appointments
become effective at once, and both men
have already assumed the duties of their
new positions.
The advancement of these two we'll
known railroad men further emphasizes
the fact that the Western Maryland does
not hesitate to reward capable service
rendered in any capacity by promoting
those who render it to higher positions.
1t has been President Fitzgerald's policy
to select for advancement men who have
earned such promotions by efficient work
and fidelity to the company's interests.
Mr.. Stringer, who is the first Western
Maryland man to become assistant to
the President, has record of fifteen
years of service with the railway COM
pany. He went with the road in 1898,
as stenographer in the office of the gen.
eral auditor. He more than made good
in his initial position with the company,
and was next advanced to responsible
post in the traffic department, He was
subsequently transferred to the operat-
ing department, and in 1905 became Sec
retary to Alexander Robertson, who
came with the Western Maryland as Vice
President and General Manager. Later
he was promoted to the position of chief
clerk to the Vice President and General
Manager, and after serving in this posi-
tion became chief clerk to the chief ex-
ecutive of the Western Maryland.
Mr.. Porter, the new chief clerk to
President Fitzgerald, has rendered long
and valuable service to the Western
Maryland. His first position with the
road was that of Office boy, and he was
not long in earning promotion. During
his connection with the road, he has held
important posts in the traffic department
of the Western Maryland, among them
being chief clerk to the freight traffic
manager, and about six months ago, he
became associated with the Office of the
chief executive of the company,

Rain began falling early last Friday

time rain fell in torrents. After eleven
O'Clock there was another gust and very
heavy rain. Streams and branches were
bank full and overiowing and water

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1918.
The County Statement.

UuuV VOUsuSy O
Each year as the County Statement
is issued, it has been our intention
to dissect its contents and make some
criticisms of the antiquated and
cloudy manner in which it is given
to the public.
We may later point out some
things that should be at least eluci-
dated, or explained.
The Statement as a whole does not
give to the public what is contem-
plated by the law, and especially
since the law has been amended SO
that "a full and particular itemized
statement shall be made.
Last year it was contended that
the clerical help was not sufficient to
tackle" this herculean (?) task and
hence the mandate of the law was
not obeyed, but the same old form
was gotten out. This year there has
been partial attempt to comply but
it is manifestly not what the law on
the statue books intended.
The larger items are still Jumped
but the great number OF pensions,
fire fighters,' "hawk and owl kill.
ers" who get from 81 to SO take ul
three -fourths of the whole statement
and in the matter of money expend
ed does not represent one-twentietl
of the whole.
If this statement is a correct one
land we assume that it isl the Com.
missioners ought to be perfectly will,
ing that every cent of the tax payers
money is accounted for item for item
and it matters not if the cost of dis
seminating this information is twice
or three times the amount of money
taken to get out the old kind, the
tax payers have right to this infor'
nation placed before them in an in
telligent and Understandable form.
There ought to be nothing that the
Commissioners cared to hide or bun.
die up" in any item, and in fairness
to themselves they ought to see to il
that there is no room for criticism.
For instance, we note in one of the
daily papers that among the items
that the Commissioners levy for is
the Index Clerk to the Register OF
Wills amounting to sS4O). In a
statement later made this same paper
says that Mr.. Thomas, the Register
of Wills, made a return OF this
amount to the Commissioners by
check, and is therefore entitled to
credit. No such credit appears on
the County Statement, but if pro-
per bookkeeping account is made,
this repayment should appear some
where, and manifestly Mr.. Thomas
should receive some credit for having
returned this sum of money into the
treasury of the County.
There are similar matters which
do not appear in the public state
ment, but which should be there
properly itemized and it will then be
a matter for the public to pass upon
either in criticism or in condemna-
ton.
For years and years it has been
the habit of the Commissioners at the
end of their statement to either apol-
ogize for or praise themselves for the
manner the office for the respective
years has been administered; it seems
to us that with a full, particular and
itemized statement as contemplated
by law, this matter should be left to
the people at large to say well done
good and faithful servants" or other
wise.

completed and the annual losses,
even at the present time as a re-
suit Of the existence Of this disease
will probably exceed $500, 900.
Now IS the opportune time to com
plete the work in all of these
seven tick-infested counties it the
cattle raisers in these counties
could only be made to realize it.
The tick can be destroyed now
with less expense than later The
stockmen of these remaining quar-
antined counties can now profit by
the experience Of those who have
already successfully conducted the
work in the counties which have
been freed of ticks and placed
above the quarantine line. They
have at hand the twentieth century
method, the ideal way Of killing
ticks, viz, the concrete dipping
vat and arsenical soloution which
are the boon to. and salvation of,
the cattle raising industry in the
southern states.
The dipping vat and arsenical
solution are cheap and efficient as
we'll as practical and are in my
opion the only weapons which
will be used in the future in tick
eradication work.
From present indications the
ticks will be entirely eradicated
and the whole state of Tennessee
released from quarantine one year
from this date, in which event,
Tennt ssee will enjoy the distinc-
ton Of being the lir,t state to en-
tirely exterminate the southern
cattle tick. George r. White,

GOOD ADVICE

Secretary Wilson, Of the agri-
cultural department, speaking at
the National Corn Exposition in
Columbia, 5. u, advised the south
ern farmers to raise more cereals
and reproducing animals. This
is remindfuI that old lack Chan
dler gave something of the same
advice to the south in general in
the turbulent days succeeding the
civil war, but old lacks phrasing
was more direct and more pictur-
esqIe. The way he put it was,
raise more hogs and hominy and
less hell"
The fact that old lack and bis
kind, who controlled national poll
tics at the time, forced sheolic
condition on the south that made
political quiet impossible and
greatly disturbed industry.
But under present economic con-

We have given some thought to
the redistricting bill now pending
before the legislature, and if we
have sized it up correctly, we
hardly think it should pass. The
present arrangement is not so bad.
The present law might be amended
in some particulars, especially
with reference to Henderson
county. which should have a d.
rect representative, and perhaps
in some other particulars, but these
are mighty stormy times for legis-
lating upon a matter which parti-
san politics will play 50 important
a part.
