Peach Bottom To Operate

1t looks as if deal has at last gone
through for the purchase of the Lam
caster, Oxford and Southern R. R,
(the Peach Bottom) a. 10000 for the
road and equipment.
Negotiations had been uncer wav,
to buy the road for S35.0OO, but the
time limit had expired and in the
meanwhile a new party appeared On
the scene--a Baltimore contractor by
the name OF Shriver, who is at pres.
ent engaged in a railroad operation,
and he figured that the rails, rolling
stock and real estate were worth to
him $4,000, and he made an offer of
this sum. When the committee repre-
senting the local buyers learned this
they felt chilly. George Wagner, OF
Perryville, went to Baltimore and
looked into the matter. He wired that
as the local committee could have the
road at the price bid, they had better
take it. So the acceptance was wired
from Paramount, as stated. 1t is said
the terms are $4,000 in cash, $4,000
by January l, 1915, $4,000 on a two
year mortgage at = per cent.
The road will be put in operation
speedily. There are thousands of tons
of hay and potatoes ready to be haul
ed to say nothing of the other pro-
duct that have found their way to the
world markets via the L., o. & S. 1t
is said the passenger traffic will be
looked after with three motor cars
and frequent service.
1t is said that George Wagner, of
Perryville, will be made general man.

G. O. P. CALLS MEETING

Chairman John B. Hanna, of the
Republican State Central Committee
has issued call for meeting of the
committee on Wednesday, August 26
at noon in the Hotel Rennert. The
call states that the meeting will ar
range for the State Convention and at
tend to such other business as may
come before it.
Possibly one of the matters which
the committee will handle will be the
election of q new chairman, or the ap-
pointment of a subcommittee to select
one. While Mr.. Hanna has not re-
signed as chairman, he. is expected to
take this action at any time. His ap-
pointment as chairman of the Work.
mems Compensation Board is regard
ed as certain and in that office, he will
have to relinquish his official political
position. AS the expected appointment
probably will come about the same
time as the meeting of the committee,
the leaders may decise to elect a new
chairman while the committee is IN
regular session.
to be known. There is no scramble for
the place, at least. Like the chairman
ship of the Democratic committee, it
means much hard work and sometimes
nothing else. From time to time Mar
ion A. Humphreys, of Salisbury, a
cousin of William P. Jackson and his
right hand man, has been mentioned.
There also has been talk of Charles H.
Hoffman, of Cumberland, and a good
many workers say they would like to
have Collector William F. Stone. 1t
is not regarded as probable that the
latter would take the place.
Edward c. Darlington, Jr., the NOM
inee for Senator, may have something
to say about the new chairman, for he
will manage Carrington's campaign. 1t
has been regarded as due candidate
in some campaigns that he havr
chairman of his own choosing. Car
rington in himself has not the votes
in the committee to name the new
chairman, and it is unlikely that the
Goldsborough forces will be overly ac-
commodating in lending him theirs.
However, Jackson and Stone may
hold that Darlington is entitled to a
him. If they do, it is likely that they
will come pretty Close 20 carrying
their views through, for a showdown
of strength in the committee may
very well put Jackson and Stone in
definite control of the party machin-
cry.
Darlington has gone away for lit
tie trip, following his success in get
ting the nomination in the face of the
opposition of Governor Goldsborough
and his friends. He is expected back
in about one week and will devote him.
self to putting his affairs in such
shape as will permit him to take up
his campaign vigorously after the
primaries have put his Democratic
opponent formally in the field.
At his Office, it was stated letters
and kilograms are being received from
well-known Republicans of all sections
pledging their support. One of the
kilograms was from DR.. ]. Mcpherson
Scott, Mayor of Hagerstown, who was
the choice of the Goldsborough people
as candidate against Darlington.

Receivers Stolen Auto

Mr.. Lewis S. Tyler, of Baltimore,
came to Elkton yesterday friday
morning and recovered his automobile
which had been stolen from the Court
House Plaza, in Baltimore, Wednes-
day. Immediately upon learning of
the theft, Marshall Carter at once
notified all police authorities around
Baltimore. Thursday morning he re-
ceived word that two men In a car
believed to be Mr.. Tyler's, had stopped
at Havre de Grace Wednesday after
noon and sold tire. They then bought
oil and gasoline to run the car on to
Elkton, where they abandoned it.

Del, aged 80 years. The interment
will be at Easton, Md.

weeks ago while assisting Rev. Mr.
Dryden at a camp-meeting, down the
Peninsula. Mr.. Dryden took him 10
his daughters in Wilmington, where
he gradually grew worse until the
end cameon Thursday.
Mr.. Maloy, known affectionately by
many of us as "Father" Maloy, had
had an exceptionally long and useful
life in the Gospel Ministry. After
retiring from the active ministry, he
continued to supply pulpits, while
making his home at Colora, Cecil
county. His faculties remained so
bright, his nature so genial and kind
ly, his preaching so interesting, that
he was in frequent demand for supply
work. For number of sessions he
was Chaplain of the Maryland Senate,
where his prayers were notable for
their unique and impressive spiritual
quality.
His death removes from our midst
one of our most striking and interest
ing personalities.

PRESIDENT COUNSELS
HIS COUNTRYMEN

no less a thing than that the people
of the United States, whose love OF
their country, and whose loyalty TO Its
Government should unite them as
Americans all, bound in honor and ar-
fection to think first of her and her
interests, may be divided in camps OF
hostile opinion, hot against each other,
involved in the war itself in impulse
and opinion if not in action.
"Such divisions amongst US would
be fatal to our peace of mind and
might seriously stand in the way of
the proper performance of our duty
as the one great nation at peace, the
one people holding itself ready 70
play a part of impartial mediation
and speak the counsels of peace ana
accommodation not as partisan, but
as a friend.
A Solemn Word of Warning.
81 venture therefore, my fellow
countrymen, to speak a solemn word
of warning to you against that deep
est, most subtle, most essential breach
of neutrality which may spring out of
partisanship, out of passionately TAX
ing sides. The United States must
be neutral in fact as we'll as in name
during these days that are to try
mems souls. We must be impartial in
thought as well as in action, must put
curb upon our sentiments as well as
upon every transaction that might be
construed as preference of one party
to the struggle before another.
"My thought is of America. I am
speaking, | feel sure, the earnest wish
and purpose of every thoughtful Am
erican that this great country Of ours,
which is, of course, the first in our
thoughts, and in our hearts, should
show herself in this time of peculiar
trial nation beyond others to exhibit
the fine poise of undisturbed judg-
ment, the dignity of self control, the
efficiency. of dispassionate action, a
nation that neither sits in judgment
upon others nor is disturbed in her
own counsels and which keeps herself
fit and free to do what is honest and
disinterested and truly serviceable for
the peace of the world.
"Shall we not resolve to put upon
ourselves the restraint which will
bring to our people the happiness ani
the great and lasting influence for
peace We covet for them?"

Elkton ought now to keep her hold
on second place and thus be entitled to
play off the post-season series of five
games with Newark The prospect
looks bright for such situation, but
it will look brighter if Elkton wins
from Rising Sun on the Elkton ground
today. Rising Sun is always a dam
geroos opponent for Elkton and the
game is likely to be a battle royal. So
was last Saturdays battle with Ok
ford on Oxford's grounds. Oxford
drew first blood in the third inning.
Elkton tied up the score in the seven
tn inning, and thus it stood l to l un-
til II innings had been played. In the
18th inning Elkton put runs across
and blanked Oxford in Oxford's half,
thus winning out by 3 to l. Not an
error was charged up against Elkton,
while Clay was pitching mastery ball.
So for that matter was Smith for Ok
ford, who allowed Elkton only 4 hits;
Oxford found Clay for hits, but
couldn't turn then into runs.
Newark 3-West End, 2.
Newark thought they were going
to have some easy pickings with the
West End boys last Saturday, but got
Jared out of that notion very speed
lily and had to fight hard to nose out a
victory from the youngsters. The
"fans" who journeyed over to Newark
to see the game had good reason to be
proud of the West End boys, who
made hits off Hogan and barring one
or two moments of stage fright felded
like veterans. Smickel pitched a good
game for the West Enders, but hau
poor support at the receiving enc
from Nichols. West End tied up the
score to in the ninth inning and
Newark won through an unfortunate
error by King at first base, who up to
that time had played an excellent
game.
Rising Sun, 11-Elk Mills, s.
Rising Sun has a way of getting
| their bats to going =: an opportune
time and slugging out enough runs to
win. That is what happened in their
game on Saturday with Elk Mills
Both teams were batting hard, Rising
Sun making II hits off Finn and Elk
Mills Is hits off He,miller. But the
Sun boys punched enough hits in the
third inning to put across runs, to
which they owe the game.

ident Wilson on Tuesday issued long
statement calling upon citizens of the
United States to confine their speech
to the spirit of strict neutrality matter
which he defined as the spirit of i'm
partiality and fairness in the Euro
pean war situation.
The Presidents statement follows,
"My Fellow Countrymen: l sup

earnestly upon you the sort of speech
and conduct which will best safeguard

Effect Depends On What We Say and
Do.
"The effect of the war upon the
United States will depend upon what
American citizens say and do. Every
man who really loves America will
act and speak in the true spirit of
neutrality, which is the spirit of i'm
partlality and fairness and friendli-
ness to all concerned. The spirit of
the nation in this critical matter will
be determined largely by what indivi-
duals and society and those gathered

tain, upon what ministers utter in
their pulpits, and ne.. proclaim as
