During a spell of drunkenness, Thomas
Keith aged II, of Point of Rocks, either

B. and O. tunnel on Saturday night and
was drowned.

son, Mrs. Rosie Keith, the mother, aged
Al, jumped into the twelve feet of water

time.
1.-The husband of the Keith woman,
George Keith, and father of the drown
ed boy, is now in the House of Correc-
ton, having been sentenced there about
month ago for six months term, fol-
lowing conviction for indecent conduct in
this city. About ten days ago the drowned
boy was before Justice Brust in this city
on a charge of disorderly conduct, ours

"Sadie Keith testified at the inquest

her drowned brother by John Cross, who
she said, brought it out of Frederick. -
News.
1.-THE tragedy caused by this one pint
of liquor should be sufficient to cause an
extra barrel of dry votes to be cast at
the coming election. No better cam
paign argument could have been manu-
featured. Vote dry and help your fellow
man.

Vaccination Ban Lifted.

Hagerstown, Md, Sept. 30.-A vacci-
nation certificate is no longer necessary
for children entering the public schools
of Washington County. The county
School Board has passed an order to that
effect.
The practice heretofore has been to
require all children at the beginning of
their school years to present vaccination
certificates. While the county School
Board has knowledge of the law on the
statue books which places fine upon a
teacher who admits to school child not
presenting a proper vaccination certifi-
cate, it is understood that the board
stands ready to back up and defend any
teacher who may be called into court for
failure to strictly observe this law.

HagerStoWn Fair Appealing.

For every line of endeavor there is
one example that stands on pinnacle
not by reason of it's vastness neces-
sarily but more often because it is just
as the people want it.
The success on which a Fair presents
its educational and entertainment pro-
gram measures the degree in which it is
inspiring and appealing to visitors who
attend it. Approaching this principal
the officers and directors of the Great
Hagerstown Interstate Fair are bend
ing every effort to put the exhibition
this year on higher plane than ever be-
fore.
The wants of thousands of patrons,
exhibitors. concessionaires and hosts of
employees, will be provided for in every
way. An information bureau will be
maintained. A department of the post"
office will be established at the Fair
grounds. Express companies will be
quartered there, while there will be tele-
graph and telephone privileges. With
the great main exhibition hall, enormous
grandstand, seating capacity over 5000,
the automobile show, thegreat COW barn,
housing 800 cattle, the poultry building,
wherein will be shown nearly 10000
birds, the magnificent racing and attrac-
tons, the agricultural hall and the corn
show, all combined, makes an exhibit
that requires an effort to view complete
in the four days that the Fair will be in
operation. The indoor commodations
are so great that rainy weather causes
little inconvenience.

To Tax At Full Value.
State Commission Gives County
Men Instruction Concerning
Reassessment OF Real
Estate.

The members and officials of the State
Tax Commission last week had before
them the Supervisors of Assessments in
the counties and Baltimore city for final
instructions regarding the conduct of
the general reassessment of real estate
in the counties. The supervisors, in
turn, will meet the assessors in the re-
spective county seats an October 9 and
pass on to them the instructions. The
work of actual assessment then will be-
gin promptly.
One of the points emphasized at the
conference was that the assessors should
| assess property at its full valuation.
Chairman German made the point and it
was dwelt upon strongly. The super
visors were told that when the 100 per
cent. assessment was departed from
there entered danger of favoritism and
inequality, for one piece of property
might be assessed at 80 per cent. of its
value, and another at rs per cent; but
that if every piece of property were
honestly assessed at 100 per cent, in
equality would be eliminated as far as
humanity possible.
Commissioner Lesser explained to the
supervisors that 100 per cent. assess
ment did not necessarily mean an increas-
ed payment of taxes by the owner of the
property. A thorough-going and honest
reassessment upon 100 per cent. basis
all over the State, he explained, might
lead to such an increase in the taxable
basis that the rate could be reduced,
thus making it possible that an owner
would pay less actual taxes upon 100
per cent. assessment than upon lower
one, made under system which fixed
low values upon all properties.
The supervisors also were warned a
gainst taking the judgement of the
owner as to the value of his property.
Commissioner Lesser told them that
every man thought he had paid fancy
price" for his property and reasoned that
it should be assessed at less than the
purchase price. Mr.. Lesser said that in
many instances the thing about the
property that made the owner pay
fancy price" would lead almost any
other man in the market to pay his
fancy price" He said that the real
test of the actual value of the property
in such cases was whether it could be
sold again at the price paid by the owner.
For the first time in the general reas-
sesment of property, lands and buildings
will be assessed separately. Mr.. Lesser
said that separate assessments were dl-
rected in the laws providing for the two
two previous assessments, but that the
directions were not observed faithfully.
The commission will insist upon separa-
ton this time. In the assessment of
buildings, the assessors will be guided
largely by table furnished by the COM
mission, which the Square foot factors"
in determining value. The commission
holds that buildings of various classes
have more or less fixed relation between
value and square foot areas. Assess
ments upon lands will be made according
to their nature; in other words, the. ara
BILE land in farm will be assessed as
unit, the marsh land as unit, the pas
ture land as unit, the waste land as
unit, and so on Baltimore Sun.

Novel Gas Holders.

The floating bell form of gas holder,
with its telescoping sections, water
tank seal for the lower edge and elab-
crate framing for guiding the cylinder,
Is a very expensive structure, and 1t
has not been evident how 1t could be
improved. A new principle has, how
ever, been devised that greatly sim
plifies the construction and reduces
the cost. Instead of being movable,
the tank Is fixed, and its roof is NOV.
able, sliding up and down within. This
roof is fitted as closely as possiAe,
and to prevent the gas escaping wa
ter Is pumped on to 1t, thus forming
a water seal. OF course, some water
passes through the joint, but this is
withdrawn and returned to the roof by
q pump regulated to compensate for
the leakage.
