By Thomas Lodge q59G. Beauty, alas. where vast thou born, Thus to hold thyself in scorn? Whenas Beauty kissed to woo thea Thou by Beauty dost undo me;
 Heigh-ho- despise me not. and thou in sooth are one, Fairer thou, I fairer none; Wanton thou. and with thou. wanton. Yield cruel heart to plant on? Do me right. and do me reason: Cruelty is cursed treason:
 Heigh-ho! I love. heigh-ho! I lov1.

Predicts Much Construction

John w Hunter, city building per nit dispenser, is no weather forecaster. Neither is he professional predicter. But he has an occasional hunch. He had one of these lunches ins mental custody yesterday.
 I'm going to venture this predic- ton, based upon rumors we gather in this office from contractors and build- CTS in general" he said. That is, next year will set new pace in Birming- ham history for building and construc- tion.
 There are some hefty projects in sight and I'm not going to violate any condolences by detailed Identification. but Greater Birmingham will be the scene of more construction projects in 1920 than it was ever thought possible with all .hese stories of general un- rest we read and hear about.
 with all the parlous things one hears about old Birmingham goes right ahead. That is demonstrated by the steel strike and the coal mining crisis Alabama has never quit mining. coal or making steel. And Birmndg- ham is going into the construction business next year on a broad scale and the biggest boosters of building are going to be our real estate men"

Tags and Licenses

Dog tags and licenses are the lat est business that will be handled by the office of the circuit court" stated W. J, Waldrop yesterday. and, ali though it may seem strange to a mum Der of people that this office will is- sue the tags and licenses, still it is the truth I have set aside room 30f on the third floor ot the county court house, for the purpose of issuing the tags. which will begin Monday morn ing, with Assistant Circuit Clerk S. M Blake in charge.
 The tax will be s125 for the male dogs and $2.25 for the female of the species. The whole month of Decem- Der will be allotted to the payment of the taxes, and the usual penalty will be imposed after January l.

 Today a letter was received from Chicago parties who own coal lands on the Warrior stating that they would de velop these as soon as sufficient barges to handle their output are in commission and storage and loading and unloading facilities are installed at Mobile. \ They expect to do an export business.
 Before the terminals at Short Creek are completed we are going to be swamped with business Inauguration of transportation on the Warrior river is the biggest thing that has happened to Birmingham in a long time'

suhntitute for saloon

"A chain of coffee establishments which will soon be running in all the larger cities of the country has been started by Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Jr., his brothers. Archie and Kermit; his brother-in-law. Dr. Richard Derby, and a cousin. Philip J. Roosevelt" said H. T. Batterton. The first of these Brazilian coffee houses has been opened in practically the geographical center of the theatrical district. This plan was decided on in order that the aching void left in the heart of the New York theatrical district by the passing of the saloon may at least be partially plugged if the right filling is used. and it is hoped that this ven- ture by the Roosevelt family will eventually take at least portion of the sting from prohibition and prevent sociability-tne one good feature of the o1d-time American saloon. Philip Roosevelt thinks-from perishing en- tirely in these United States.
 'Tn addition to coffee, Brazilian pas try. sandwiches and some specially prepared Brazilian dish are served. Writing paper and envelopes are ar- ranged in little racks at each table for those desiring to write wkile there. The plan is most unique and is sure to meet with success. It is expected that other coffee houses will be opened in the near future and at the present time the plan seems to have met with the approval of the residents of the New York theatrical district"

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1919-08-28

All kinds of reports and insinua-
tons will be and are being circulated.
This is to be expected. 1t is a politi-
cal trick that has been made use of by
INSCRIPTIONS and unprincipled men for
years.
The question that arises is this,
tersely and plainly put: Who is the
best man to look after the interests
of the taxpayers of Garrett county?
Those who possess the best qualifca-
tons for the Office sought by them.
This is critical time. Much is at
stake. We want men tried and true,
not those who are long on promises
and then fail to fulfill them when they
are called upon to do so, but men are
needed who can be depended upon at
all times and under the most trying
circumstances. Especially is this
true with reference to the candidates
for the House of Delegates. Garrett
county needs to be well represented at
Annapolis this winter. Anybody will
not do. Because he is a good fellow. a
good neighbor, or deserves an Office
because of party loyalty, is not a suf-
ficient reason why anyone should be
placed on the party ticket. We need
good men-men of thought, of good
character and irreproachable reputa-
ton in their dealings with their fell
lowmen, who are law-abiding, honest
and courageous in their convictions,
men who have made a success of their
private business, who are taxpayers
and property owners in their own
right to represent US in the halls of
the law making body of the State.
| appeal to the voters of the Repub-
lican party to think carefully over
these matters before they vote at the
primary election on the 9Th of Sep
TENDER Investigate what the differ
ent candidates stand for.
Will they stand for the temperance
laws? Will they stand for better
roads all over Garrett county? Will
they stand for better school support
and better education for our chill
dren? Will they stand loyalty for
the best interests of Garrett county
Let US think for ourselves and in
vestigate the insinuations and the ac-
cusations so that we make no mistake
in the matter. VOTER.
