Will Urge That the State Take
Over County Roads.

The Good Roads Commission, in
Baltimore, will be besieged with hum
dreds of Frederick and Carroll county
men in few weeks urging that certain
sections of roads be taken over and
transformed into State roads. Several
weeks ago the property owners residing
on the old York Road, running from
Ceresvllle to Keymar, decided to send
big delegation down to Baltimore to
urge the taking over Of about fifteen
miles of road. Last Saturday the resi-
dents Of Emmitsburg and Carroll county
had conference and decided TO send a
delegation Of fifty men from Frederick
county AID fifty from Carroll county to
ask that the road from Emmitsburg to
Taneytown be taken over.
This stretch of road is nine miles in
length and would make the national
route. The residents of both Frederick

most natural road to connect Baltimore
with Pittsburgh. The delegation will

AN ACT to repeal Chapter so of the Acts
Of 1878, as amended by Chapter 399 of
the Acts Of 1884, and as amended by
Chapter 344 Of the Acts of 1890 (said
Evening star., 1914-11-15

One hundred and fifty-one years
ago today two English surveyors,
Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon.
began the surveying Of what is
known as the Mason and Dixon line
between the states of Pennsylvania
and Maryland. This line afterward
became famous as the supposed bound
ary ebtween the north and the south,
or between the free or slavery-hold-
ing states. From it came Dixie,
the cognomen for the south, which has
been immortalized in song and story.
The line was surveyed at the instance
of William Penn and Lord Baltimore.
The surveyors were three years in
making the survey from the north
east corner to the foot of Savage
mountain. In 1857 the work was fin
ished from the latter point to Nir-
ginia, now West Virginia. The line is
said to have cost 100000, and the
surveyors employed an army of 100
axmen and a road thirty feet wide
was cut through the dense forest. A
mixture of sand and lime stones of
light brown-grayish color were brought
over from England to mark the line,
and these stones were set up at in
tervals of a mile apart wherever it
was possible to erect them. They
weighed 500 pounds and were four and
one-half feet high. On some parts of
the line the country was so rugged
that mounds of dirt and rock had to
be substituted for these stones.
Today the Mason and Dixon line

has been resurveyed and remarked
and divested of its chief erroneous
traditions. In 1S49 revision of the
line was made by a joint commission
from Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Delaware, and it then was found that
the original survey was SO nearly ac-
curate that the change involved by
the correction amounted to less than
two acres. which were added to
Maryland. In 1903 Pennsylvania and
Maryland each appropriated $1,000
for the restoration of the line. Many
of the peculiar English stones had dis
appeared and the commission made
an exhaustive search for them. The
identification was AN easy task. for
on breaking them the stones emitted
a sulphurous odor. SO thorough was
the search that some We're found in
the curbing of streets and in people
cellars. One was taken from the wall
of an old stone church, where it had
done service for many years. In the
places of those that could not be
found new stones of marble We're set
up. On every fifth one Of these the
coat-of-arms of William Penn WAS
cut on the Pennsylvania side, and on
the Maryland side the escutcheon OF
Lord Baltimore WAS placed. On the
others the single initials i. and
NJ were cut. The stones are now set
so near one another. even in the
mountain regions, that the traveller
may stand at stone and see tho

The London Missionary Society sends
packages of letters to be mailed to
missionaries in countries from which
the English nation is cut off. MISSION
aries are also sending letters to their
friends in charge of the American
board, which has them remailed to any
desired country.
Much of the financial stress through
which the missionaries have been pass

be overcome by the intervention of the

bilization of the troops. Several other
hospitals and schools have been threat

have suffered no personal indignities.
They are eager to remain at their posts
of duty, believing that the need of their
