IMPORTANT CASE WON
BY MORGAN COLLEGE
Court OF Appeals Decides That 1t Can
Buy Land For COlOred
DEVELOPMENT

In the Morgan College Case" the
Court of Appeals has affirmed the Cir
cult Court for Baltimore county in
holding that there is no principle of
equity by which the mere develop
ment of property for use of colored
people can be prevented.
An effort was made by Russell l..
Diggs and others TO enjoin that de-
velopment of seventy acres of land at
corner of Hillen Road and Grunden
Lane, Baltimore, for homes for col
ored people. This, the Court held, in
an opinion by Judge Stockbridge,
could not be done. 1t was also held
that the charter of the college permit
ted il to buy, hold and sell land.

marine risk insurance on all freight

ministration puts the steamer lines on
an insurance parity with the railroads.

agreement which may be made with
the shippers or which may be contain
ed in the bills of lading.

lines of much freight which ordinarily
would go to the steamers TO connect
ing points.

SMOKER FOR
BUSINESS men
HELD TONIGHT
Progress Of the Membership Cam
paign win BE Reported at Meet
Ing to BE Held at the CHAM
Der Of Commerce Build
Ing this Evening.

There will be smoker at the
Chamber of Commerce this evening at
8 O'Clock when the team captains and
their workers will gather to make an
other report of the progress of the
campaign for new members to the or
ganizatlon for another year. Reports
sitting from the team members on the
streets are to the effect that the cam
paign is progressing rapidly and the
live business men of Maysville realiz-
ing the value and Importance of the
Chamber of Commerce are signing
without little argument from the team
members.
Only a few have held back and have
refused to renew their membership TO
the organization for another year and
it is thought that these business men
will line up with the other live wires
of the city before the campaign closes
and make it unanimous.
The interest shown in the rivalry
between the two sections of the can
vassers is growing daily, The team
making the highest score computed
upon the basis of the number of re-
newals secured and the number of full
paid in advance memberships will be
awarded passes to the next annual
Corn and Tobacco Fair and this lit
tie incentive has caused much inter-
est to be taken in the drive.
The business men who have been in
contact with the Chamber OF Com
merce and who have seen the good
that IL has accomplished in our city
in many ways are lending their hearty
support to the campaign and 1t Is GER
tain that the Chamber of Commerce
will be continued for another year
with the same amount of enthusiasm
as has characterized Il in the past.
The organization is reaching the
place now where it can be OF meal
cuable value to the city of Maysvill'
and to Mason county. A large mum
Der of our prominent farmers have
taken memberships in the organiza
ton and are displaying great interes
in its work because during the pas
few months ii has branched out AM

assist the farmers in solving the big
gest problem that they have eve
faced and has been a great assistanc
in solving this problem.

surpassed anything that has yet been
said of it. 1t is truly wonderful In ey-
cry respect and the music furnished
by the orchestra of masters with 1t

BOARD
WILL MOVE OFFICE
IN NEAR FUTURE
Mason County Excavation Board will
Have New Headquarters in the
Flrst-Standard Bank Build
Ing For the Coming
Winter.

The Mason County Exemption
Board will move its headquarters in
the near future from the Government
building where they have been located
since the board was organized to
quarters in the First Standard Bank
Building. This move is being made
because of the approach of winter
and IN order that their headquarters
may be comfortable for the examina-
ton OF drafted men.
The headquarters of the board In
the government building has been To-
Gated In the basement which Is not
heated by the buildings heating sys-
tenn and 1t will be necessary to erect
stoves which will not prove entirely
satisfactory therefore the board has
asked the government for the prlvi-
lege of changing the location.
The board members are now very
busy most every day listing the large
army of men who registered In Mason
county at the last registration. This
is somewhat OF job and even with
the assistance of their new assistant
clerk, Fred Arm, Jr, they have found
themselves up against a great big job.
The work of mailing out the ques-
| tionnaires will begin In very short
time and this too will be quite a job
on the board members, whose job at
all times is anything but snap.
The exact date of the change of the
headquarters location is not yet
known but will be announced to the
public In plenty of time for every onc
having business with the board t.
