Chief Clerk George G. Thorne of
the state department at Harrisburg
told OF the call made by Union vet
eran early on the morning of the IF
tieth anniversary of the start OF the
battle. who related that his conscience
troubled him because of the fact that
on that fateful morning many years
ago he had succumbed to temptation
and stolen a quantity Of onions from
the Thorne garden. which was located
near the historic Seminary ridge. He
told Thorne that he desired. at this
late day to pay for the onions and
thus relieve his conscience.
Needless to say, his offer of money
was refused. but the Thornes would
like to learn the identity Of the sol
diers who upset eight beehives In the
dead of night and appropriated all the
honey they contained.

A remarkable coincidence OF the
camp was the meeting Of two men Of
exactly the same name. coming from
towns Of the same name. but in differ
ent states. One fought on the union
side in the battle Of Gettysburg, and
the other with the confederates.
These two men are John Carson Of
Burlington. N. j.. and John Carson Of
Burlington, N. C..
They met by the merest chance.
The Jersey Carson was walking along
one of the streets. and saw a man in
gray. Just to be friendly. the Jersey
man stopped him and gave him a
greeting 1t was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their names were identical,
as well as the names OF their towns.

REGISTRATION IN THE CITY

We again appeal to all Democrats to
avail themselves of the one day yet re-
naming to register and those who have
removed from one precinct into another
to procure removal certificates to make
them eligible to vote both at the primary
and the election.
The city law is unlike the county law
relative to voting in Frederick District
No. two. The City law demands the
transfer of a voter from one precinct into
another, and he cannot vote only in the
precinct in which he resides. In the
county election the voter can vote in any
precinct in the district if he is quail
fed voter.
The City Executive Committee should
avail themselves of the few days yet re-
naming and see that every one entitled
to a vote is notified not to miss the or
portunity on May 10. The election of
Mayor, City Register and Aldermen is Il
most important one 1t should appeal
to every Democrat. to be in condition
to cast his vote both at the primary and
the election, that the most capable
candidate be selected at the primaries,
and then triumphantly elect them vt
the last city election many could not vote
as they were not aware of the legal re-
quirements necessary to make them quail
flied voters, We hope this will not occur
again this year. We therefore earnestly
appeal to those who are in charge of the
election machinery to meet the condi-
tons that every one who is entitled to
register will be placed on the books.

PROTECTING THE LEMON.

Undeterred by the failure OF the sheep
raisers and the men who raise cane to
secure notifications Of the Underwood
bill, the California cultvators of citrus
fruits are assembling in Washington,
hopeful that if the House prove obdurate
the Senate may give them dispensation
from tariff reduction. They will be dis
appointed; this is Democratic not Re-
publican Senate.
The California fruit growers constitute
one of the most powerful Trusts in the
country; at least, they would be Trust if
they were manufacturers instead of cult
vators The head of their Washington
lobby says that the citrus industry repre-
sents an investment Of $780, 600, 900, COW
erlng over eco, 200 acres OF semi arid
lands, three iourths of which have been
reclaimed from the desert and could not
be converted TO any other use"
Well, then, the Californans will go on
raising lemons on the land. They have
their 200, 600 acres reclaimed, planted
and in bearing, and the lands, it is said,
cannot be devoted to other crops. Does
anybody suppose that the $500, 600, 900
worth of property will be abandoned be-
cause il Yields less profits than formerly?
The trees are there, and the lemons will
grow upon them without much further
labor or expense, for the present, and we
presume that the lemons are no less
likely 10 grow because the duty has been
reduced.
OF course, if the crop be Improbable
further investment will not be made, and
the orchards will deterorate, but that
would involve a term of wears, and in the
meanwhile the country would have plenty
of time to test the reduced duty.
The fruitgrowers are combined to sup
press competition. One branch of them,
the prune growers, have a single selling
agency, and their products are kept off
the market when prices are unsatlsfac-
tory, though they are able to make ex-
tensive exports TO France and other
prune-groWing countries The mere mat
ter of irelghts will give the Califorians a
monopoly OF the country west of the Mis-
souri, River, and probably as far east as
Chicago. They have had protection
while their industry was an infant and it
will not topple over because the subsidy
it gets from the consumers is reduced

Governor Goldsborough Refrains
From Giving His Own Views

Governor Goldsborough Refrains
From Giving His Own Views
on the Legal Aspects of the
United States Senatorial Stu
alton.
So far, Governor Goldsborough has
declined to discuss the United States
Senatorial situation in MARYLAND. He
has RETAINED from saying whether he
believes that the present general primary
law covers the situation or whether it
will be necessary to call an extra session
OF the Legislature to enact a new Sen.
atorial Primary Law. The Governors
silence is not understood The Attorney
General ard number of distinguished
lawyers have advised him that the pres
ent laws are sufficient to cover the Sen
atorial nomination. 1t is true, however,
that other well known lawyers in this
State have held that a new law will have
to be enacted to comply with the 18TH
Amendment to the Constitution OF the
United States and that this only can be
done by an extra session of the Legis-
lature. The situation is now in the
hands of Governor GoldsborCugh and
there is feeling among the
general public that he should take his
stand so as 20 greatly settle the present
situation.

Complaints on Telephone Rates
to be Pushed by the Farmers
Association.

The Frederick County Farmers Asso-
cation at its regular meeting few days
ago. decided to vigorously push the
complaint that it has made with the
Public Service Commission against the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, asking that the county be
made a unit in the matter OF telephone
rates in the county, and that the present
zone system in this county be abolished.
The hearing in the case will be held
on May goth, at II O'Clock, in the Office
of the Public Service Commission. All
members of the Frederick County
Farmers Association, and others in.
terested in the matter are requested
to go to Baltimore on that day.
The above action was taken after con-
siderable discussion. r. Claude Dut-
row claimed that only by making Wig
orous fight, will there be anything ac
complished, and Mr.. G.. A. T. Snouher
suggested that if the farmer is to be given
any relief in the matter of telephone ter
ritory, now is the time that it will be
given, and it behooved every one TO do
his part.

Walkersville Wants New School

A delegation, which was headed by
DIR. John Nicodemus, appeared before
the Board Of County School Commits
sioners few days ago, and asked for a
new school building for Wakersvile,
this county. The board owing to the
lack of funds could not entertain the
proposition at this time, as they were
compelled to postpone work on other
buildings throughout the county. They
SAID that very little could be done by the
board with reference to new buildings
until more money has been secured.
The fact that the last offer Of SIS, 900
worth of School Bonds were not sold,
is holding up the matter. The School
Board is of the opinion that the bonds
will be sold although no offer under
par can be accepted. If this is not done
an effort may be made to have the
county borrow upon the bonds, until
the security market improves.

a quarter.
