The Matter Might Be Arranged
In a Few Minutes BY
Arbitrators

Grccnvillc, July 11.-Thcrc was no
developments in the labor troubles ut

early Thursday morning when The l.
w. w. members, who were employees
in the weave room declined to abide
by the rules OF the company and make

day.
No excitement prevails here and
there has been no disorder from the
first. Sheriff Ashley was here ana
was among those who made speeches
to the l. w. w.
The statement as 10 the cause of
tlos trikc is that the mill WAS shut
down twice Wednesday for Just Il lit
tie over an hour and when the SUPER
intcndcnts informed the help that tho
mill would run overtime, they refused
and as the help Is working by the
piece and not by the day. there is no
matter of pay involved.

TO Malady Now Prevalent Iii North
Carolina Mountains

Washington, July 11.-Results OF an
investigation of the mountain districts
OF North and South Carolina to de-
tcrmine how prevalent trachomn Is,
were made public by the public health
service today. The survey was un-
dor the direction OF Passed Assistant
Surpeon A. d. Foster and shows that
the disease exists only In isolated To-
cnlities. Conditions were found to
be better than In the mountain sec
tons of Kentucky. West Virginia and
Virginia. where the disease also ex-
ists.
OF the IS.S05 persons examipcd in
the two states only "a wcrc found to
have tho disease. Most OF these cases
were on the Cherokee Indian reserva-
tion in Swain count, NC, twenty
cases being located in that county,
practically IL of them traceablc TO
the rcscrvn' ION school.
The survey disclosed that negroes
are singularly free form the dis
ease. Foreign Immigration does not
seem to DO responsible for tho malady
as immigrants are free from II and
practically all the sufferers arc native
born.

New Registration

After the September primaries the
Democratic management will face the
greatest problem that has confronted
them for more than eighteen years.
That is general registration, which will
occur on Tuesday September 22nd;
Wednesday, September 23rd; Tuesday,
October 9th; Wednesday, October 9TH;
and Tuesday, October 18TH for revision
only. (No new names will be added a
the sitting on Tuesday, October 18th. J
This will be a tremendous job 1t can
hardly be expected that either party will
be able to nearly register its present
vote, but the effort to register becomes a
necessity to carry on the election, and
the expense will also appeal to the man
agement Of both political parties, who
will no doubt make the most strenuous
efforts to register their vote. Only those
who are registered can participate IN the
next years primaries in September,
when all Of the officials connected with
our State and county will be voted Tor.

Band Concerts.

It's up to the Frederick Board of AL
dermen whether or not Frederick is to
have series of concerts in the beautiful
city park in front of the courthouse this
summer as an amusement scheme for the
public. The city has been asked to give
one hundred dollars towards band con-
certS. When this action is taken, the
Board of Aldermen has been asked to
appoint committee to conduct a rapid
fire campaign for a hundred and forty
dollars which is still necessary to assure
eight concerts by the Yellow Springs Con-
cert Band, of which S. Fenton Harris is
director.
This proposition was put before the
Board of Aldermen more than a week
ago. That body has had several meetings
since, but the question has not even been
discussed. The fact is the matter has
been pigeon holed so far. Several mem
bers of the Board declared that they
would bring the matter before the Board
at the next meeting and that action would
certainly be taken one way or the other
Alderman Cutler said: Il am certainly in
favor Of band concerts, but don't think
The city is in position to give out one
hundred dollars for such a purpose. !"
Alderman Shoemaker said II am a
lover of music, but must think it over
seriously before denoting one hundred
dollars of the city's money for band con-
certS"

Threshers Violate Law.

he traffic OF engines hauling threshing
outhts over the county have damaged
| the State roads in Frederick county and
| other counties of the State TO the extent
OF thousands Of dollars. c. A. Tenney,
resident engineer of Frederick county
and part of Washington county, had a
conference with the Goods Road Com
mission and he was given instructions to
arrest every man that appeared on a State
road in his section with cheated engine
I'm few days there will be warrants

Ienney when asked about the matter.

Engineer Ienney. Last year the county
authorities didn't seem 10 think that this
was sufficient violation of the law 10 make
out case, but this year unless the pen
atty is placed, the State Roads Commits
sion will go direct 10 the Governor of
MARYLAND and the Attorney General.

millions Of dollars on its roads and has
them in good repair. 1t doesn't cost a
great deal for the thresherman 10. get
blocks for his engine wheels, but it means
a great saving to the State roads,"
Engineer Tenny said that last year a
score or more arrests had been made in
Frederick, Carroll, Washington and How
ard counties for this very same thing, and
there was but one conviction, and that
was in Carroll county. He said that the
authorities should fix and enforce the pen
atty on offenders, otherwise it will be use
less to spend great amounts of money to
build fine network of roads,
In Frederick county the threshermen
have been particularly careless whether
or not their engines were blocked The
roads all over the county, especially State
roads, are badly cut. While in itself
only slight damage, in a short time
these holes will have extended until the
entire top dressing of the road has been
ruined. The members of State Roads
Commission were lrate over the matter
and instructed their resident engineer to
prepare to carry out the provisions of the
law and swear out the warrants.

I8and lasting until Monday, August 24th,
will reach Frederick on next Monday,

remembered that last year the large

tise the Chautauqua toured great part

kinds of posters in conspicuous places.
Mr.. Charles McC Matthias, the chair
man of the Chautauquan Committee. re-

Pipes Down Before Streets are
Fixed.

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen at
a special meeting Friday night. passed
an ordinance which will hereafter compel
the putting down of all water service
pipes from the mains in the street to the
curb before any street is built or rcsur
faced. The work will be done bv the
city and will be charge against the
property to which the service pipes run.
and there will be a service pipe for every
lot, whether such lots are built upon at
the time or not. This ordinance was
heartily approved by all the aldermen, as
it is claimed that Frederick has suffered
much because OF the tearing up of its
streets often only few weeks after being
put down
The lily is now engaged in building a
new macadam street on Washington
street where the new school building to
provide for the southern section of the
city was erected. Park avenue may also
be macadamized and also several other
streets about the city. The new law will
work no great hardship however, as the
CITY has for the past year or so endeavored
| to have all such service pipes laid before
I a street is macadamized similar to the
| plans as followed before streets are
paved.

Federal Control of Grain Market

Samples Of Frederick county wheat
will be used by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in fixing definite and
set grades for wheat. Monday John H.
Cox, representing the Department of Ag-
riculture. came to Frederick and obtained
samples of wheat delivered by farmers
at the Mountain CITY Mills and the Fred
erick CountyaFarmers' Exchange for the
purpose of studying the conditions and
quality OF wheat as marketed by farmers
at this time of the year and also for max
ing milling tests.
The department has number of men
in the principal wheat growing States of
the country at this time of the year, max
ing similar investigations and taking SAM
pies of wheat. The wheat in every sec
ton of the country, that al any time pro-
duces much wheat is being investigated
The whole idea Of the department is to
establish definite grades for wheat. This
power and authority was given the Secre-
tary of Agriculture by the acts of Con-
gress of June 80, 1906; and of March d,
1913. The Secretary was empowered to
fix definite grades of grain. The grading
of corn has been fixed and went into
effect July I, 1914
Although the Department of Agricul-
ture has the power to establish these
grades, the millers and grain exchanges
are not compelled to use them. There is
now a measure before the House of Rep
resentatives providing for Fedrral super
vision of grain trading and uniform grad
ing This is known as the Moss bill and
was on July 20 reported favorable by the
House Agriculture Committee.

Petitions asking for two new roads,
one in the vicinity OF Emmitsburg, and
