CRISP IS FOR CHEATHAN
NAMES ORDINA-
RY FOR POSTMASTER.
Will Not Resign Present Office Until
President Makes Appointment
and Senate Confirms Ii.

and Senate Confirms Ii.
DR.. w. B. Cheatham, the present
ordinary of Terrell county, has been
recommended by Congressman Crisp
to the postoffice department for post
master at Dawson.
The news came Saturday after
noon by wire from Congressman
Crisp, who is at Colorado Springs,
where he has been several months for
his health.
The term Of Postmaster Lewis will
expire on the 23rd of this month, but
it is not probable that the new post
master will be ready to assume office
by that date, as his Appointment will
have to be made by the president and
confirmed by the senate, after which
it will require several days for him
to execute a bond and receive his
commission.
DR.. Cheatham informs The News
that he will not resign the office of
of ordinary until his appointment has
been made by the president and con-
irmed by the senate.
Upon his resignation the clerk of
the superior court will become acting
ordinary, and under the law it will
be his duty to order an election to
fill the vacancy. The election must
be called within twenty days from
the date of the resignation and held
within twenty days from the date of
the order calling it.

aE SOLUTION OF RESPECT
70 traneis Oscar MosaaR.

Whereas, BY the permission of our
all wise and divine Master, the mes
senger of death passed our sentinel and
invaded our camp OF Directors, on the
evening of February 2sth, ulto., and,
Severing link in our chain OF charter
members, unceremonlously summoned
from time to eternity one OF our most
useful and efficient members, in the
person of our lamented ce-President,
FRANCIS OSCAR MORGAN; and
Whereas, Ii is meet that we acknowl-
edge the wisdom and goodness of our
Supreme Master, and bow, in humble
submission, to His Divine Will, yet
mourning the unannounced and I'M
timely summons OF our most esteemed
friend and co-worker, it is but just to
bis memory TO express our deepest re-
greet ct his sudden demise; Therefore,
be it
Resolved, That in the death of F.
OSCAR MORGAN, Director and Vice
President OF the First National Bank
OF St. Mary's at Leonardtown, Nd,
since its incorporation in 1903, this
Bank has lost most efficient officer,
and the Directorate a most useful
member; That being a just and up
right man, q kind husband and father,
an honorable an useful citizen, O. sim
cere friend, courteous neighbour, we
deeply depiore his loss to The Bank,
TO his family and friends and the COM
munity AT large.
Resolved, That, as a token of our
high appreciation OF mis- many noble
Qualities OF heart and mind, and, as a
pledge to our fidelity TO the memory of
our deceased member, we extend to
his bereaved widow and idolized
daughter, our most sincere sympathy
In this hour of their saddest bereave-
ment, wishing them solace in their
journey through life, and eternal bliss
IN the land beyond time.
Resolved, That as further mark OF
respect for our fellow member, this
meeting now adjourn, that these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes of
our Bank, and copies be sent to the

5ev. DR.. costin on Representa-
tive Wilkinson.

We clip the following from The Sum
of March 0:
There are few who doubt that the
Hon John s. Jones, delegate from ST.
Mary's, led the ticket in the last elec-
tion on the strength OF the local option
sentiment 10 the county. II Is as evi.
deni as tan be that the people do not
want high license; they voted against
u over p year ago. So Why repeat
zoe process? The people know what
they want, and elected Mr.. Jones and
Mr.. Wilkinson TO the House and Mr..
Ches!cy to the Senate, among other
things. TO give them local option
that Is. . chance TO say weiher they
wish Lac 90 saloons OF the county TO
remain or 90.
To think that after the House left i,
to the Delegates 10 report the bill, Mr..
Wilkinson should defeat its passage
by high-licepse amendment Is beyond
comprehension of the decent people of
the county. Before election Mr.. Will
kinson stated in private and in a
county paper over his signature that
he was willing 10 give the people of
the county the right to vote ON any
local question they might desire. On
the strength OF those declarations
many temperance Republicans and
Democrats voted for him, believing
that tEey could trust him. But now he
IS reported as saying he Is afraid the
county will 60 dry II given the
privilege TO vote. That, of course. he
does not want. He is not willing to
trust his own ST. Mary's county peo.
PTS. II he has not deceived the people
and gone back on his word, then let
him explain his action. The moral
shock, the outrage and righteous indig-
ration of the people indicate the In,
tense feeling on the subject. The peo-
pie want the right from this Legisla-
ture to vote for or against the saloons
in st. Mary's county.
The saloon, to say the least, is a
blasting influence in the county, VIC
believe the majority of the people are
tired of it. Why deny majority rule
to st. Mays? Is that Democracys
Is il Wilsoniap? Is it forward-look.
ing9
Is there no way by which the Legis-
lature may yet save itself in the coun-
tyr Why not pass q bill examining
the hotels about the water coursess,
That would be better than nothing.
High license is q sop. The people re-
sent the turning of such trick simply
to forestall them in gett q their rights
for two more years. We plead for
the peoples rights in ST. Mary's.

brought out a number and some good
material was discovered. The outlook
for successful season Is most en-
couraging. The loss of Harris Cana

BE- keenly felt, but several others have
developed and may prove capable of
filing this vacancy. The hitters,
three OF them last years high average
men augmented by some very prom
ising finds, seems to hold this depart
ment up to the past standards. In
fact every department has given suffi-
cient evidence upon which to hope for
a winner for 1914. The team will quit

are most optomiStic as regards TO
