for the drys is $50. Seven of the rine
districts gave majorities for the, drys.
two for the vets.

which have yielded an annual revenue
of between $4,000 and $4,000.
When st. Mary's saloons close in
May, it will not be possible to buy a
drink in Southern Maryland, if the
law is enforced, between Annapolis
and Point Lookout, except at Chesa-
peake Beach, whose charter carries
with it the right to sell liquor. The
next move of the Anti-Saloon League
will be to abolish saloons in Chesa-
peake Beach by legislative enactment

In the Baltimore Sun of Monday
morning there was an article bringing up
again the question of having a summer
capitol for the Executive Department of
the government, and amongst the prom
inent places mentioned or named was
that OF Braddock Heights in Frederick
county. Among the advantages was the
question of easy reach from the Capitol,
it being only about two hours ride by
automobile, and about three hours by
train and trolley. Its good elevation and
It's accessibility and other points make it
very attractive place for Washington
officials, and it will receive no doubt
many votes should it come to question
OF precedence One Of the special things
in the future that will attract people to
Braddock will be the fact that it will be
about five miles from the Lincoln HIGH
way, which will run from New York to
Philadelphia to Baltimore, then to Wash
ington and then to Frederick, and ON to
Gettysburg. Braddock Heights is five
miles from Frederick on the old National
Road, and therefore the question of good
roads would be main factor in its easy
approach from Washington. The trip
could be made to that city within very
short space of time. The Blue Ridge
region and various sections in Virginia of
course are mentioned, together with
Braddock, but Of course there is no d.
vision of sentiment in this section with
regard to the choice of all those points
named.
