Close OF The Campaign

Tonight marks the close of the
political campaign throughout the
State. 1t finds the leaders of both
of the great political parties, appar-
entity, confident of the election of the
candidates upon their tickets. DR.. j..
Hubert Wade, Chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee, pre-
diets the reelection of Comptroller
McMullen by comfortable majority.
Mr.. Galen L. TAFT, Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
declined to make any comment upon
the result beyond the claim that the
Republicans would elect their candi-
date for State Comptroller. and a
sufficient number of the members OF
the Legislature to control both bran
ches, which would mean the election
of the State Treasurer and would
give; that party control of the Board
of Public Works.
Reports from the different coun-
ties, however, do not seem to bear
out::the claim sof Mr.. TAFT. The alb
sence of many. Democratic voters at
Camp Mcclellan and Camp Meade
may reduce the majorities in some
of the counties, but there seems lit
tie doubt that the Democrats will
elect a sufficient number of their can
didates to be more securely in con-
troll of both branches of the Legisla-
ture than at the last session.
The Baltimore City situation at
first gave some concern to the Dem
ocratfc leaders. but recently de-
cided Improvement has been notice
able in the situation, and the indica-
lions point to the fact that all ele-
ments of the party have come to the
conclusion that it is best to lay aside
factional differences and elect the
ticket.
In this county, if one may judge
from the expression of the voters,ev-
cry candidate on the Democratic tic
ket will be elected by safe MAORI
ty. There shaye been exaggerated re-
ports started concerning the cutting
of some of the candidates. but when
traced to their source, it was usually
found that such rumors emanated
from the opposing candidates who
hoped in this way to strengthen their
individual candidates.. The greater
part of these rumors have centered
around the head of the local ticket,
Mr., Prettyman, the candidate for
State Senator. While it is probably
true that Mr.. Prettyman, like all 9TH
er Candidates, will be cut some, it
does not appear likely that he will be
cut any more, if as much, as his OPP
ponent, former States Attorney Will
liam N. Andrews, whose nomination
was particularly distasteful to the
organization.
It has been reported that the Re-
publicans are basing their calcula-
tons on the belief that the oyster
vote of Cambridge and the county
will support their candidates in pref
erence to those of the Democratic
party. This would seem a forlorn
hope for certainly the oystermen of
the county HAYES not forgotten the
fact of the great fight which the
Democrats of this county and State
made for them in the session of
1914, when Governor Harrington and
Senator Shepherd, of this county,lec
a successful fight for the abandon
ment of the very Objectionable oys-

County Chancery Court Decision

The Supreme Court en- banc,
throught Chief Justice Smith, yester-
day handed down a decision in the
case of the State Board of Health VS..
DR.. w. T. Mathews Of this city, fav-
orable to DR.. Mathews, according to
reports from Jackson this morning.
The case was appealed from the Chan
cery Court of Kinds County, that
court ruling that DR.. Mathews was
legally elected County Health Officer
of this county and could not be re-
moved by the State Board Of Health
The board disapproved certain al
legged acts of DR.. Mathews and, after
on airing adopted an order declaring
his Office vacant and electing another
physician.
DR.. Mathews contended that he was
appointed for a specific term and the
only way that he could be gotten rid
of within that period would be by
indictment and conviction in the Grim
inal courts. As stated by Chief jus
,tice Smith, this case falls clearly with.
in the ruling Of the court in the Nc
Dowell case and the chancellor hac
rightly ruled, and that the ruling
would stand affirmed. g,

PLANTERS BEGIN
SPRING FLOWING
Where Ground is Dry Enough Work
on New Crop Has Been Begun
7 Expect Good Crop Year.

Spring evidently has gotten here,
Amateur gardeners and those of q

Planters have begun ,plowing where
the ground is dry enough and all ID
being put in readiness for the begin.
ming Of a new crop year.
Judging from the talk the cotton
crop this year will not be above the
nomal acreage and much attention is
being given to other things. A fair
ly good acreage Of corn is to be plant
ed and some plans for stock raising
are being materialized judging from
general street conversation.
Planters are about two weeks late
in getting started with the spring
breaking, the weather during Febru-
ary and the first Of this month being
too severe to allow of any outside
work being accomplished. The wet
season has delayed glowing until now,
. II weather conditions permit the
actual work Of beginning another crop
should be well under way within the
next week. vs'4.s &ns M 4
"A great many Of the planters IN this
vicinity are looking forward to
good crop year because of the exl

planters are not worrying much about

CHICAGO's LUMBER INDUSTRY.

Chicago, March 13-(By Udion As
sociated Press)-This city's lumber
industry is growing to unprecedented
proportions according to the latest
records attainable. Some Of the bust
ness done here is shown by the fact
that last year 5000 100000 feet pass
ed through the Chicago market. This
is enough, speaking in terms of COM
parisons, to build 100000 eight-room
houses, or, with five persons to the
family, to house three-quarters Of a
million people. The lumber would
build one good garage for every ma
chine to be sold during the current
year and placed end to end, would
reach from Chicago to the North Pole.
