CARROLL WAKING UP 81
TWO Big MEETINGS In THE INTEREST
OF THE NAVY AT SILVER RUN AND
SYKESYTLLE.

Two meetings in the interest OF Sc
curing recruits for Thine Navy were
held last night. That at Silver Run
was one OF the most remarkable meet
ings ever held in Carroll county.
Messrs. Robert and William Shriver
had ON Wednesday mailed five humid
red letters announcing the meeting,
and at the appointed hour we'll nigh
500 people from alI sections of Myers
district had assembled. The building
In which the meeting or rather meet
ings were held has two large halls, on
hrst and second story. Both were
packed with people and many stood
on the outside Two bands of music
were present, the Carroll County
Reed Band iR tine upper hall, and the
Union Mills Band in the lower hall.
Mr.. George w. Yeiser presided at the
meeting in the upper hall and Mr..
Calvin Bankard at tnat in the lower.
The first speaker in the upper hall
was States Attorney Seabrook, and
the first in the lower hall by Dr.
Na1ob Katihbah, Syrian physician,
OF Baltimore, who has seen service In
the Sudan and other wars, and has
offered his services to the Secretary

hall, Mr. SeabrOOk relieved Dr. Kati-
bah in the lower hall, while Mr. W. J.
Burdy, or the VI. .. Navy, I'm uniform,
followed him in the upper hall. DR..
Katibah then spoke in the upper
room, and Mr. Burdy followed MIR.
Seahrook in the lower. "a deep and
lasting impression was made by all
the speakers. From the first word
spoken that interest was manifest in
the tear dimmed eyes OF many ladies
present and in the expression of the
men old and young. After the adj
dresses, many commented ON the fact
that the spirit of the gathering re-
minded them Of religious revival.
An after meeting, for such 1t really
was, at which the speakers one after
the other made direct and personal
appeal for recruits, further stimu-
lated the. interest already awakened,
and one young man, Denton Dull,
offered himself as the first I'D be
placed on the honor roll from Myers
district. Leaving the hall, little
groups formed around each of the
speakers, asking questions, and a
number or young men manifested
their desire to serve their country,
and it can be predicted almost to a
certainty that others from old Myers
will follow the example OF Mr.. Dull.
A meeting was also held at Sykes
vile, in the hall at the Springfield
State Hospital. lit was mot s0 largely
attended aS that at0 Silver Run, but

that most parents would gladly CO
operate with the teachers in securing
the best results, but the opportunity
is lacking; that teachers generally
gladly invite and accept intelligent
suggestions and criticisms is also uni
yersally true, but individual efforts
are, however, never fruitful OF the
best results. We seldom accomplish
much without the general co-opera-
ton of a. community, since intelligent,
well thought and well discussed effort

The Presidents action in this

certain other officials. both in and
