quet of the Frederick County Farmers
Association, which will be held on Satur
Bday afternoon in Company AS new ar
mory, have virtually been completed.
VIM. J. Grove, a member of the commit
4tee, said that much enthusiasm is being
displayed over the banquet He said
THAT it was the intention of the associa-
tion to make it purely farmers event.
4 There is every indication that the farm
ers will turn out in large numbers at the
banquet, which is being held at time in
the year when the farmers find it an easy
matter to leave their duties on the farm,
for it is the least busy of all seasons of the
year.
Joseph d. Baker will be the toastmas-
Ter, and many toasts will be responded
10. Some prominent visitors have been
invited to attend, among them being
Governor Phillips Lee Goldsborough,

est farmers events in the history of the
Frederick County Farmers Association

Are Opposed to LeGore Measure.

] AAC OPPOoOQ w 6ONIOAp nn0es6uA ..
The County Commissioners of Fred
erick County, object to the import of the
LeGore Bill, which makes it mandatory
for them to take over the lanes w. Le-
! Gore Bridge. and also SIN miles Of road.
| After a consultation the commissioners
| recently signed a petition, objecting to
the passage of the bill This petition
will be sent to the Frederick county del
egation and to Senator J. p. T. Matthias
John W. Hotter, the President of the
| Board of County Commissioners said
that he was opposed TO the bill, and be-
lieved that it was not right for the Legis-
lature to compel the County Commits
sioners to take over the bridge and the
six miles of road He suggested that
the question be put to popular vote
and have the people decide il the COM
mlssioners were to take over the prop
erty.
Mr.. Hotter said that he thought this
would be a very good way OF settling
the question. If Mr.. Hotter is con-
vinced that the people of the county de-
sire the County Commissioners to take
over the property then he is willing to
assist IN taking over bridge and roads.
One OF the members of the board said
recently that there was no donbt but that
the county would be compelled to take
over the bridge, but said that he did not
think that now was the time. He again
intimated that there was a great deal of
sentiment against the proposed bill.
1t is reported that the Frederick
county delegation in the House will not
need great deal of urging to use their
influence to kill the bill. for it is said
that some of the delegates are now op-
posed to it. Three members of the
delegation have come out hatfooted with
the statement that they are opposed to
the measure.
There is now an act on the statute
books which the commissioners claim
leaves it to the discretion of the board
TO take over the property They now
object to any mandatory legislation.

Mrs. Samuel Molcsworth Fatally
Injured.

While standing around the cookstove
watching the progress of the morning
meal, Mrs. Samuel Molesworth, residing
about one mile east of Kemptown, was
fatally injured. when the water back ex-
ploded hurting pieces of the range against
her head. With Mrs. Molesworth at the
time. were her daughter-inl law, Mrs. Jas
Molesworth, and Miss Watkins, both of
whom were injured. but not seriously.
The accident happened about O'Clock
Monday morning. Breakfast was being
prepared and fire had been made in the
range. During the night the fire had
died out and the water-back froze. The
fire caused the expansion of the pipes
and without warning, the explosion fol
lowed, the women standing about the
stove unable to make for a place Of
safety.
Flying pieces of the iron from the stove
struck Mrs. Samuel Molesworth IN the
head. The top Of her skull was blown
off and with it went a considerable por-
ton of the brain. She was hurled the
distance of the room. Miss Watkins and
Mrs James Molesworth were struck by
the flying parts and both were slightly
injured. Miss Watkins was burned about
her arms and was considerably shocked.
Mrs. James Molesworth was also shock
ed. She was thrown distance OF about
ten feet.
The explosion Immediately attracted
the men of the house. They hurriedly
summoned DR.. l.. ID. Clancy. of Mt.
Airy, who arrived in short time and did
everything possible to relieve the suffer
ings of the injured. 1t was impossible to
find part OF Mrs. Molesworth's skull, so
great was the explosion.
The kitchen was wrecked. Windows
and doors were blown out and everything
in the room was thrown into a chaotic
state.
Mrs. Moesworth is aged about SIS
years.
She died at I.Io p. M. Her husband
