IMPROVE COX STREET

Mrs. Margaret Cochran has gotten up
petition, signed by herself and all the
residents on Crawford street ard vi
cinity, to the number of 45, asking the
Town Commissioners to build a narrow
cement walk along one side of Cox
street from Crawford to Main street.
This small cross street is one of the
most traversed highways in the town,
being the sole means which a large
number of persons living on Crawford
and Lake streets have of reaching East
Vain street, and the Methodist and
Episcopal Churches without making a
wide detour' Of several blocks by way of
Broad street,
Until Mrs. Cochran herself had a side
path built some years ago this little
street was almost impossible in muddy
weather; and inasmuch as Mrs. Cochran
has been public spirited enough to place
fine cement pavements in front of her
own residence on Crawford street, and
also on the rear of her lot on Anderson
street, it is but fair that the town
shouli add its quota to the Improvement
Of this much used thoroughfare, Cox
street, by making this sidewalk for
these petitioners.
All the more should this be done since
the building of a three or four foot
cement walk for this short distance
would entail but trifing cost, and
would minister in very substantial
way to the comfort of this large number
Of worthy tax payers, many of whom
have also put cement pavements before
their own homes, until Crawford street
has come to have the finest sidewalks
in the town. The Transcript hopes the
city fathers will evidence their apprecia-
ton of their appreciation of the high
public spirit thus shown by Mrs. Coch-
ran, and the other petitioners, by
granting their petition.

Apple Crop Large

The apple crop in this section is prob
ably larger this year than IN the past
five or ten years. Farmers have been
planting thousands of young apple trees
in recent years and it is expected that
within few more years that the apple
shipments will exceed that of the peach
shipments of few years ago. Most of
the young trees that are planted are
put out by experts in that particular
line and the outlook at the present time
is very encouraging for good returns on
the sale of apples.

FRUIT is GOING TO WASTE

A traveller through Western Mary
land paints sorrowful picture of CO.
den fruit going to waste because of the
large surplus crop, which has gluttted
the markets and made sales improbable.
''It is beautiful sight to the tourist, 4"
said the traveller, ''to speed for miles
and miles amid peach and apple orchards
in Western Maryland. 1t is beautiful
to tourists, but to the owners of those
orchards the picture is different To
them the glut in the markets and the
low prices mean losses, huge losses.
Most tempting peaches that commanded
a ready sale year ago at 81 bushel
are selling as low as 40 and so cents a
bushel. They are decaying On the trees
and falling on the ground, which in
many orchards are covered with fruit.
The price of sugar is so high that the
canning of peaches does not offer a
profit that will warrant the enterprise.
l suppose the distillers have lost the art
Oh uudhllS pSdCh VI dliuys lie small
stock of peach brandy now on the mar
ket is worth almost its weight in silver,
if not in gold. The apple orchards in
Western Maryland have Wed with each
other this year in producing big crop.
/ am told that great big apples that
make the mouth of US city folks water,
are being fed to the hogs.
A large fruit grower of the Eastern
Shore also reports a surplus crop of
apples this year, not only in Maryland,
but throughout the country. He advo-
Gates the shipping of apples to the city
markets and their sale at 81 barrel, if
better prices cannot be obtained, in or
der that the taste for the fruit may be
more generally cultivated and a greater
demand in the future thus made pos
sible.

CHIEF HILYARD'S RECORD

The Transcript is glad to see Chief
Hilyard about again after a severe i'll
ness which had confined him to his bed
for week or more
The recovery of this efficient police
officer and his resumption of his duties
is indeed, matter for congratulation
upon the part Of the citizens generally,
for Mr.. HiIyard as Superintendent of
the force that safeguards the peace
and property of our town has proved 10
every way great success.
He has kept the best order on Satur-
day nights the town has ever seen, and
that, too, despite the fact that the
crowds thronging the streets on these
nights have greatly increased in num-
bers.
Mr.. Hilyard has accomplished this
admirable result in so quiet and tact
full a manner that he has aroused no
needless racial bitterness or just resent
ment upon the part of our colored popu-
lat1on, either resident or visiting.
The business men of our town who
have a big trade with their colored Gus
toners, certainly appreciate the fact
that Mr.. Hilyard by his fair and cour-
teous treatment of the colored people,
has won their good will, and in fact en-
listed the cooperation of the respec-
table element among them in discourag-
ing and repressing the rowdyism of the
few, often visitors from out the state.
whose conduct to bring discredit upon
them all.
Mr.. Hilyard has ever been fearless,
alert and faithful, empha ically on the
job through the nights, all weathers,
not loafing in ease in some warm or
dry nook. The years he has held this
position, performing its
duties with judgment and fidelity, has
throughly demonstrated his fitness for
the post he holds, and affords the best
guarantee that in the future Middle
towns good order will be equally well
obtained. After the sorry expert
ences we have had with drunken
Mr.. Hilyard's course has been
witnessed with equal pleasure by his
friends and all the citizens of
our town. The Transcript wishes he
may long hold the office of Chief of
Police of Middletown which he has so
ably filled.
