Cumberland in Lead of Smaller
MARYLAND Cities.

Cumberland, of the smaller Maryland
cities. has made the largest gain in pop
ulation in the last four years, according
to the 1914 estimates of population by
the Census Bureau. The Queen City
of Western Maryland has added on an
average OF 500 people year to its fig
ures, making total gain since the 1910
census was takon of 1000.
The population figures for the Mary
land cities, except Baltimore, having
over 5000 inhabitants are as follows:
Annapolis-ISI4 estimates, S,643; 1910
census, 1909; gain, "a.
Cumberland-IoI4 estimated, 1886;
1910 census, 2I,33o; gain, 1000.
Fsederick Clty-IoI4 estimates 10, 1856;
1910 census, Io,4II; gain, AIS.
Hagerstown-I9I4 estimates, I7,74oi
1910 census, Io.7o7; gain, I,242.
The 1914 estimates divides the white
and colored population as follows in the
three Maryland cities:
Baltimore = 4oI,276 whites, 883I4
blacks; total increase over 1910, I6,Soo
negro increase, 1926; rate of white in
crease, nearly 4 per cent. negro increase,
3.75 per cent.
Annapolis = 1914 estimates, 5,42o;
whites, 3,2I4 negroes; white increase,
20; negro increase, ID.
Frederick - 1914 estimates, o,349
whites; 1887 blacks; white increase, 4o8

Shows Growth of County's Bus
mess.

That Frederick county is making vast
strides of progress in business was illus
trated on Friday, May Ist, at the clerks
office, at the court house, when more
than ten thousand dollars worth of Ii
censes were taken out. Last year, it has
been estimated, that the receipts from
license fees of all varieties did not ex-
ceed $4,000 Friday was perhaps the
first day for the issuance of licenses,
and it was also the Hast day on which
liquor dealers could procure their
licenses.
There is every indication that the rev.
enue from the various businesses of the
county and city will run far beyond last
years record of $4,000. In one day
two-thrds of this amount has been
taken in, and It is thought that twice that
amount will come into the clerks Office
in the next few days.
The license bureau of the clerks office
is true index of the growth Of the
county's business. Although reports
from other counties of the State show
that there has been a slump in business,
Frederick county has apparently escap-
ed. During the past winter there were
reports from various sections of the
county, that the bottom had fallen out of
the business of the county, and predic-
tions of firms closing out their businesses
were freely made.
This has been false for more mer-
chants than ever have applied for licen-
ses to conduct various kinds of business
In spite of the fact that FIVE saloons
in Knoxville were closed this week bv
the Act OF the Maryland Legislature,
thus bringing about decrease in the
revenues from that source, the receipts
at the clerk's Office have been so large as
to Offset that loss.

Chapter 472 Public General
Lewis Supersedes All Other
Game Laws.

The Maryland State Game and Fish
Protective Association has sent US a
clipping from the Baltimore News"
which contains the exact wording of the
Uniform State Wide Bill, which will take
precedence over all of the local county
laws in the State of Maryland, governing
all counties in the State as to the uniform
opening and closing season.
No one is allowed TO hunt in the State
of Maryland until the 10th OF November
and the closing season in the entire State
is December 24th.
All of the local game and fish bills
passed at the last session of the Legisla-
ture in conflict with the State Wide Law
land all of them all that exempts certain
birds and game in certain sections) are
worthless, as the law specifically states
In Section II. THAT all general and
local laws inconsistent with any
provision or provisions of this Act be and
the same are hereby repealed, and that
this Act%shall take effect from the date of
its passage"
In the current supplement issued with
this weeks CITIZEN will be found Chap
ter 472 of the Public General Laws. and
our readers are requested to examine it
carefully.
To show how the Federal Migratory
Bird Law takes precedence even over
the State Wide Law we quote from the
Baltimore "Newsp
MANY local game laws were passed
at the last session of the Legislature, and
where these conflict with the uniform
State laws they are worthless. The
State uniform laws takes precedence
over all of the local ones, as Section II,
provides. This announcement will be
surprising to those legislators who, it is
known, were uninterested in the State
provision, but had pet local bills The
uniform season on game now IN this
State is November 10th to December
24th. Where the Federal migratory
bird law affects the Stnte dates the
former takes precedence. November Ist,
to February Ist, is the date set for shoot
ing duck, geese and swan by the Fed
eral statute, and this is the law which
must be obeyed, not the State one"

not take care of ourselves, then
there is no country which can do
the job for US. Let US cease our
complaining and go to work. Let
Us face the conditions, for which
we are not responsible, secure in
the knowledge that we have been

recollection of his was that he was

time he was enjoying the best of

much sadness to friends, because
of his affection, but never was
there one who acce pied the newt

his patience he might have been

allow dependency to get the best
