The County Commissioners met 90
Tuesday and adopted resolutions pro-
testing against this county contributing
to the stock in the railroad pro-
posed to be run through st. Mary's,
Charles and Prince Georges counties
and requesting the Legislature to ex-
clude this county from contributing
to the said enterprise: A large mum
Der of representative citizens were In
La Plata on Tuesday and there was not
a dissenting opinion ex ressed against
the action OF the Commissioners.
No one doubts that great benefit
would result to all persons along or
near the route from the building of the
road from Washington to Point Look
out, but nearly everybody thinks that
the promoters of the road, who will
reap the profits when completed. should
build it out of their own funds. They
should not ask from the countiesihrough
which it will run, to furnish enough
money to build the road in its entirety
as apparently they did in the bill pre-
sented to the legislature.

A skeleton found on the river shore
near Stump Neck recently lead many
persons to believe that a murder had
been committed at some previous time
and the remains hidden near where they
were found. Mr.. George Wheeler a
resident of the community has account
ed for the ghostly find by stating that
the body of man was washed ashore
at that point about fifteen years ago
and that after a Coroners jury, OF
which he was a member had decided
that the man was accidently drowned,
the remains which we're badly decom-
posed were buried on the shore. The
condition Of the body accounts for the
fact that watch with the initials ~

Lime Bill.

Mr.. Blandford's bill appropriating
funds to erect two lime plants In South
en- Maryland and one on the Ea tern
Shore is being bitterly fought before
the Finance Committee of the Senate.
The Baltimore and Western Maryland
Manufacturers contend that the State
should not compete with private enter
prise and also in the same breath assert
in their contention that the state can
not make lime as chsaply per ton as
they can do Professor Hopkins sol
the University of Illinois who was in
Annapolis and voluntarily went before
the Committee asserted that when
Illinois started making agricultural
lime there was not another concern in
the State making lime, now there are
% concerns competing with the State
plant. The result has been that hui :
dreds of tons are now used there where
one was used in the beginning. He
predicted that if the State went into
the business the same results would
follow here to the great benefit Of the
farmers who have never known from
actual experiment what good won fol-
low from its use.
