All of these men are of high

wish, however, to call the attention
Of the people to the good work OF a

an American citizenship none cal
doubt him. Among those who arr
best able to Judge of his fitness fol
the position of Chief Judge and FOL
the duties that will devolve upon
him as member of the Court OF
Appeals of Maryland there is not
even a question or doubt. Judge
Adkins has been a patient and dill
gent student of the law and under
stands the theory and practice OF

ministration no man could be more
conscientious and more des1rous OF
melting out exact justice; but justice
alone has not only been his aim as
defined by the strict letter OF the
law, but he has ever sought to sea-

observed it's benificient effect. There

in saving thousands of dollars to our
taxpayers. This condition exists.
Whether it is attributable entirely to

his fairness to rich and poor alike
to the white man and to the colored

The dread spinal meningitis is
again epidemic, being particularly
virulent in North Cecil County,
among the horses. Harry Harvey's
farm near Zion, Peter Tones place
near Port Deposit and that Of Ed
ward Williams near Calvert, were
among those on which the infection
had made its appearance. Elvin
Mellinger lost a valuable horse on
his farm near the Union. Veteri-
narians are issuing warnings to
everyone to be particularly careful
as to the feed they give their horses,
as the meningitis is usually caused
by feeding moldy oats.-Oxford
