Cambridge Owes Much to The
Cambridge Board Of Trade

Cambridge has made great pro-
gress in the past four years. and
much of that progress is due to the
Cambridge Board of Trade.
Four years ago Cambridge had as
good business men as now but they
confined their work entirely to their
own private affairs. Some jealousy
existed among them, and each man
was looking out only for himself. In
December, 1909, the Cambridge
Board of Trade was organized. This
brought our business people to-
gether They learned that without
neglecting their own private bust
ness interests. they could work to-
gether to help the town and help
themselves in so doing. They
learned that the advancement of
Cambridge meant business for all
o. them, and that Cambridge could
be advanced best by all of her
people working together to that
end.
The Cambridge Board of Trade
has done great things in the four
years of its existence. 1t has brou
ght Cambridge business men to-
gether. It has caused them to
think better of one another and of
Cambridge. -
The Cambridge Board of Trade
advocated the paving of our main
streets, preparing paving bill, fol-
lowed It through the Legislature,
and conducted winning fight for
its adoption at the Cambridge town
election in June, 1910.
The Cambridge Board of Trade
collected $4,000 to locate here the
Estey Wire Works plant, now en-
ploying about forty people.
The Cambridge Board of Trade
did splendid work in locating near
Cambridge the Eastern Shore State
Hospital.
The Cambridge Board of Trade
three years ago inaugurated cam
paign to procure a Federal building
at Cam bridge This matter was
considered at numerous meetings of
the Board of Trade, and the Secre
tary went to Washington on this
mission one year ago. The active
fight of our Board of Trade, and
the promise of our Congressman to
assist us two years ago, were pow
erful factors in Cambridge procur-
ing a $4,000 appropriation in Feb
ruar against tremendous odds.
The Cambridge Board of Trade
Is at the front in any movement to
help Cambridge and Dorchester
county. 1t has reason to be proud
of its record and Cambridge should
be immensely proud of its Board of
Trade Everybody should realize
that the more they help the Cam
bridge Board of Trade, the more
powerful that Board of Trade will
be, and the more it will be able to
accomplish for the advancement of
Cambridge.
Remember the big Board of
Trade rally at the Cambridge Court
House, on Thursday evening, April
II at o'clock. There will be
excellent speaking and fine music.
Admission will be free. You are
welcome

The Murder Of Sa|Iie Dean.
Editor Evening Sun:

Editor Evening Sun:
Please give me the name of the
schooIgirl murdered on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland about 20 years
ago. Tell me the name of the muir
derer and how and by whom the
death penalty was executed.
w. H.
Sallie Dean, daughter of Jacob
Dean. of Harmony, Caroline county,
Md. was murdered on her way to
school on March 26, 1895. Marshall
e. Price, young white man, %
years old, son of Joseph Price, a
respectable and well-known black
smith, of Dover Bridge, was not at
first suspected of the murder. But
he brought forth so many theories
as to how the murder was commit
ted, and told of dreams he had
which revealed the manner of the
crime to him, that at last suspicion
was turned toward him. He was
invited by the detectives in charge
of the case to help them unravel
the mystery, and was taken to the
scene of the murder. The detec-
tives watched his actions carefully
and their suspicious were confirmed
by his finding knife which he
said had been used in the murder.
Price had been seen to leave his
shop, about 500 wards from the
place of the murder, on the morn
ing of March 26, carrying an ak,
and the wounds on the girls head
were shown to have been inflicted
with the eye of an ak.
On April 4 the detectives, salts
fled that their suspicious were cor
rect, arrested Price, He was tried
on April 80, convicted and senten-
ced to be hanged. The people were
satisfied with the sentence and no
talk of lynching was heard. He was
taken to Denton and lodged in the
Jail there awaiting execution. His
lowers talked of a new trial, and
he was given a reprieve by the Gov
ernor to allow time for the adjust
ment of some legal matters. This
aroused the people. and to prevent
his escaping what they considered
a just sentence, on July 2, they
took Price from the jail at Denton
and hanpad him on tree close nv
During his trial and after his con-
viction Price confessed himself
guilty of the crime.-Evening Sun.

COUNCIL HOLDS. . ....
 4 BIG MEETING NC ]
Mrs. Fred Cameron Asked for Bet ter Sewage and for General
 Cleanup of the Town.

The town council met last night and held an interesting session. Mrs. Fred Cameron appeared be- fore the council and on behalf of the women of the town urged that the sewer from the fire hall to the beach be cleaned and that it be repaired before a peStilence broke out in the burg. She also called the attention of he cuun- cilmen to the condition of the op- en creek, which runs through the city, into which the old tin cans, garbage and refuse is being thrown. The councilmen were not slow to act and immediately or dered the town marshal and the health officer to have the old sew CT repaired and cleaned and the creek cleaned and kept clean.
 1 The United States District At torney sent a communication to the mayor protesting against the present location of the restricted district, which, he asserts, is a menace tn the morals of the con- munity. The district attorney threatened to take action for it's removal unless the council made arrangements to move the district to some other section.
 The council decided to have a general cleanup day when all the citizens would work together, clean up their yards. and the streets would be cleaned by the city, the refuse hauled away and the town made more sanitary and more cleanly. Thursday, May go
 was decided as the best time to do the work as by that timel all 1.-the snow would have disappeared
 It was also determined to enforce
 the ordinance providing for the
 cleaning of property if the owners failed to do their share in this matter.
 Judge Thomas R. Shepard re- uuested a franchise from tho
 council to construct railroad Ol
 the streets of the city. His re- quest was referred to the com l miiter on franchises.

General Jbseph K. Johnston, with the last armed force (of any importance) of the Confederacy, surrendered to General w. T. Sherman IS years ago--on April 26, 1865.
 On the 18th of April Generals Johnston and sherman they were close friends, by the way, and remained such to the last met at Durham station, N. c.. where conference was 'hrlh which resulted in an agreement.
 Johnston tclegraphcd the pro- posed agreement tu Mr. Davis and was by that official ordered to ar- rept it. In the meantime, tn" Washington authorities Prcsi- dent Lincoln was now dead re- lected the basis of agreement, and Sherman notified Johnston that in IS hours he would resume hos tilities against him. This was on the 2Hh. On the 26th Sherman had another conference with Johnston, at which he convinced him that further fighting would be "murler," and offered him the same terms that Grant had given Lee. With such understanding Johnson surrendered.
 sherman original terms. as offered to Johnston on the 18th were in strict keeping with Mr Lincoln'S purpose, and it is cer- tain that had ahe great president lived they would never have beer countermanded. The surrender would have taken place under thai broad, noble basis, and the 'teI years of hell,' known as Recon struction," would never have dis graced our cOuntry's annals.

THUN DER.
By George Fitch

Thunder is Natures favorlte and greatest bluff.
 It is the most tremendous and
 impressive of noises. A rObut clap of thunder can be heard for twenty miles, and can sour the
 milk in ten thousand refrigerat-
 ors. Few things inspire man with
 more awe than peal of thunder, rolling majestically from cloud to cloud, and grunbling slowly out
 of hearing, like titanic lion who
 has had mass meeting for breakfast and isn't satisfied. Many
 times a year thunder fills the
 closets of this country with frightened women, but il has nev- er hurt any one. No one can be blamed for paying attention to a
 dogs bark, because in that case 1 the noise precrdes the danger, but 1 it is foolish to flee from thunder. [ By the time an adult thunder clap has crashed into the conversation
 and has jared the chandeliers.
 he lightning, of which il prrtends i to be a warning. has already ! messed up thr vicinity and ret ir"i : In parts unknown. Thunder Is
 the great "I told you Sn of the | elements, and Is as useful as a whistle on the rear end of a train. , Thunder is very impressive. llk" 1 campaign oratury, and Is m" on
 Iy thing which exceeds it in gran-
 ,rur. Thunder is produced by vast quantities of air rushing in
 lo a vacuum, while campaign or
 atory is usually produced in eN- actly the opposite manner. There
 are many points of similarity be- tween Natures greatest noise, and
 mans loudest remark, however.
 The man who can fill an auditor ium with ponderous reverberating phrases, which do not mean any thing, even when they can be
 heard four blocks, is usually more feared than the speaker who uses tK9RSwift,. scathing simile in a qGf& voice, and does atnt wilt one ] collar. a week. '., ,i-lxaGH - In order to make a>Sfn2le clap 1 of thunder it is necessary for Ma ture to employ several million volts. of electricity in burning 3 vacuum in the air. This is a great waste of power end also of noise. If the electricity cannot be wheedled into captivity by scien- lists, our 4inventorssss should take 1 up the task of canning the thun- 1 der peal and working: it up into jury: arguments and stump
 speeches.

OLD SANTA CLAUS IS
 TANGLED WITH CIRCUS
ESCHMAN RAILWAY SHOWS WILL EXHIBIT HERE UNDER AUS
 PlCEs OF THE MOOSE LODGE.

Yesterday a deal was consummat- ed between representatives of the J. H. Eschman European Railway Shows and the local lodge of Moose where by Hot Springs will have a circus aft CT all, before the old year has fled to the great beyond.
 The date of appearance has bean fixed for Wednesday, December 24. and Thursday the 25th, when four performances including the funny old clowns as they were in our earliest days of the sawdust ring, when, as children we laughed until our sides were sore, and company of the best talent that has ever heen gathered to- gether by any circus management. MT. Eschman, the proprietor, needs no introduction to the people of Hot Springs, as many remember his pop ularity gained while a member of the Arlington orchestra some few years ago,
 Having come to this city as almost hopeless invalid and after taking the baths under expert medical atten- tion and making a long stay he was completely cured. It is probable that no other single individual has ever done more boosting or advertising for the 'vapor city of Arkansas than has John H. Eschman. who for the past several years has been circus man ager and distributing Hot Springs ad- vertising literature in every part of the world.
 Mir. Eschman has decided to make this city his permanent winter head quarters and at the close of each tent ing season will bring his popular en- terprise here to winter.

THE kYCEUM.

Today the Lyceum offers one of the greatest Revolutionary pictures which was ever thrown on a screen. The Belle of Yorktown" is a story of the time of the siege and capture of York town and Cornwallis' army by the combined French and American for ces, the blow which broke the back bone of the British attempt to put down the revolution.
 It is a brilliant and historically cor rect story. No company in the world eXcels the Domino company in the production of Colonial pictures. The costumes, the historic plot study, the strict adherence to the costumes and manners of the times, the thrilling incidents of the story and the patri- atic halo which surrounded this great event is all portrayed in "The Belle of Yorktown" This young lady is a true Revolutionary seroine, and she will inspire your hearts with love and reverence for the women of those try ing Revolutionary days, the women who stood shoulder to shoulder with the men who bore arms, and did their full share to gain liberty and inde- pendence for this great country. This is three part drama and one that you could not miss.

MANY APPLICATIONS
 FOR AMATEUR NIGHT
SEVERAL CLASSY AMATEURS CONSULTED WITH MANAGER
 OWENS YESTERDAY.

For the first amateur night at the Princess it looks as though Manager Owens would have a classy bunch of novices for the Friday night shows. Yesterday quite a number consulted the management with reference to an appearance on the real vaudeville stage, and there has been good inter- est shown in this innovation.
 Mr, Owens has not made his selec- tion of the amateur acts as yet, and states that he will not do so until all who expect to appear this week have applied. He expects number of ad- ditional applications today and will likely announce those selected in The Friday morning paper.
 The public is interested in this new feature. There are number of good amateurs in Hot Springs. and it would not be surprising if some of them would develop sufficient talent to se- cure 6 regular booking, in addition to being paid for their appearance on Friday nights at the Princess.
