MR.. ROBERT GRAIN RESIGNS
AGRICULTURE COLLEGE.


Mr.. Robert Grain has resigned as
a trustee of the Maryland Agricul-
tural College. This ecti ion, taken at
a meeting Monday, was brought
about BY certain members # the
board attempting to force tue i'm
mediate naming of bnilding COM
mitlee for the school. This action,
it il said was considered by Mr..
Grain as an insult and discourtesy
TO Governor Goldsborough as the
chief executive of the state.
The meeting of the agricultural
school trustees took the place at Coll
lege Park. According to a person
close in touch with proceedings, Mr..
Grain before offering his resignation
cut lose and expressed his opinion Of
several members of tie board. His
remarks, it is said, wers directed at
the men who had insisted upon the
immediate naming Of the building
committee.
Despite the fact that the Cover
nor's committee was working with
ali possible speed, some Of the tru,-
tees evolved the desire 10 have the
building committee aalned az tnre
The adyisability of naming such a
committee, was taken up at Mondays
meeting. Instead Of permitting the
Governor to name the building COM
mittee il is said resolution was Of
fered naming the committee itself.
Mr.. Grain sniyed at The meeting al
ter the proceedings had begun. Then
it is said, when he learned of the
action that bad been taken and
which was regarded by some pre-
rent as discourtesy to the Chief
Executive of the State Mr.. Grain
in plain words, let the other board
members know his position.-St.l.
Mr.. Grain is democrat but like
many Others Of his party he has a
high conception of right and fairness
and will not play peanut politics for
party or men hence his commend
able action. Governor Goldsborough
is making good Governor and be
shonld be supported by all elements
Of citizenship as was the late Cover
nor Crothers who SO notably digni-
fed the Office of Chief Magistrate Of
the State and thus elevated the
standard of his party. Charles
County claims Mr.. { rain as her son
and in this as in many other patti
culars is proud of her manly son.

the NECESSARY ACREAGE
RAISED.

Last week in al editorlal we urged
the farmers Of the county to tget to-
gether and provide the necessary
acreage for planting tornat 'es in or
der to bring to the county again the
canning enterprise which as we said
then would rebound in many ways
to the advantage Of the farme.s and
people Of the county generally and
il is with gleat deal of satisfaction
that VIZ have received the informa-
ton that the necessary acreage has
been raised, which means that we
will actually have the cannery here
this year. The farmers who Fave
taken hold Of the matter exhibited
sound Judgment and good common
sense. This industry which has been
hevond the desires ot many of Cur
farmers heretofore .sho live a long
distance frsm La Plata ran now be
realized since the good road system
has been spreading throughout the
county. Farmers living a long dis
lance away can bring tomatoes here
over the God roads in a short while
and without interfering in any man
ner with their usual farm duties.
The farmers of our county have
sLowu the right sp rit in this matter
and if they will get together and
keep s1ca spirit alive we will be able
to bring ether enterprises here and
not only build up our county but
build our farms and our homes, make
them not only remunerative and pro
ductive but more attractive and
happy. The world depends upon
the farmer and the farmer who i
progressive and alive makes the world
appreciate the fact that the tilier Of
the soil is something more than 8
bread producer, in that he keeps
abreast tf the times as well as the
follower Of any Other pursuit in life

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inilamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube is
inlamed you have Iumbing sonnd or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
ana this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrah, which is nothing but an
condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We viii give one Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (eansed by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free
