Announcement
To the Republican Voters
of Dorchester County:

1 have filed with the Supervisors
of Election for Dorchester county my
certificate of candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for State Sena-
tor for Dorchester county.
1 believe I am entitled to this re-
ward for the services have render
ed to the Republican party, and be-
lieve if nominated and elected, I
could fill the office of State Senator
with credit to Dorchester Republi-
cans and to Dorchester county.
I believe Dorchester Republicans
generally will concede that no other
Republican in the county, during the
past fifteen years, has done more
for the Republican party than have
done, and have done it as a matter
of principle, to aid my party and its
candidates. Year after year have
neglected my profession and busi-
ness to manage campaigns for my
party, to arrange meetings in the
interest of its candidates, to make
speeches for them night after night,
to write advertisements and news
notices in their behalf, to be pub
lished in the papers. I edited and
managed for years the Dorchester
Standard, in the interests of the
Republican party for Dorchester
county. Since [ quit, the party has
no paper
1t was mainly through the work
did through the Dorchester Stand
ard that the Republicans of this
county won control of the Dorches-
ter County Commissioners office In
1907.
No man in Maryland did more
than 1 to stop the use of fake tick
cts and trick ballots in Maryland
| and it was largely through my ef'
forts that the Wilson Ballot Law
was repealed.
AS a citizen of Cambridge and
Dorchester county, have given time
work, and monay, whenever there
was an opportunity to do somtehins
| to benefit Cambridge and Dorches
ter county, and if were in the State
Senate 1 would lose no opportunit!
to do the best could for my towr
and county.
Other Republicans, and not I, haV'
benefited by the work I have dom
for the Republican party. II yol
think am not entitled to this nomi
nation, nor capable of filling the of
fee with credit to my party AM
county, I do not want the nomina
tion. If you think 1 am capable o
filling the office and entitled to tn
nomination, I want and would ar
preciate your assistance.

DAMAGE BY YESTERDAYS
STORM IS VERY GREAT

All Growing Crops Appear io be Bad
ly Dannaeetl-TreeS Were Broker
And Uprooted, While Torrents of
Rain Flooded Many PlaceS-Elec'
trio Current Off Over Two Hours.
Not for years has this county haG
such a storm as that which swept
the entire county yesterday. SL1Ge-
time early yesterday morning the
rain began, falling gently at first,but
increasing to such an extent taat Dy
eight o'clock it was falling in tor
rents; this continued all day long,
with the result that the ground be-
came so soft that when The wind
came, corn simply fell fat tc the
ground and while the late crops may
come up all right, the corn which
has cared out will likely be seriously
injured.
The fruit trees, in many cases, lost
large portion of the ripefing fruit
on them, this being particularly true
of pear, apple and peach trees. 1t is
also believed that great damage has
been done to the tomato crop, which
had already suffered as the result Of
the heavy rains about a month ago.
Practically all other crops have been
damaged, in many places entire
crops are covered with water, and it
will likely be several days before the
water is gotten off of them.
Many trees had limbs broken of
of them, and in some places, where
the wind seems to have blown with
greater force, trees were dprooted,
the ground having been so softened
by the rain that the roots pulled
right out of the ground.
Electric service in Cambridge was
put out of business for about two
and half hours, as the result of a
tree falling across the wires between
here and Laurel. The West end cir
cult of Cambridge had been notified
that it would be without current this
morning, but on account of breaks in
the wires to other places, with the
consequent tightening of the load on
the main plant, the current was con-
l IL L.

Good Seed Wheat In
Northern Counties

Good seed wheat in large Quanti-
ties can be boueht for $3.50 to So a
bushel in Howard; Carol and Hart
ford counties, according to the Coun-
ty Agents there. Wheat in these
sections is stored in the barn or bar
racks Immediately after cutting, so
that little wheat was damaged, and
the yield ran from 20 to 28 bushels
per acre on seed wheat offered for
sale. Varieties are Fultz, Leaps
Prolific, Bearded Purple Straw, Red
Wonder, Fuleaster, Dietz Longberry
and Currel's Prolific.
If your wheat was damaged by
storms and you cannot get good seed
locally, call on or write to me and I
will give you the names Of farmers
in these counties who have good
seed wheat for sale.

Cambridge has not had a train in
or out today; there may be a train
out tomorrow afternoon or there may
not be; it all depends, although just
exactly what is depends upon no one
connected with the service seems to
know. Cambridge has a population
Of nearly 10000 persons; there are
many thousands more in the county,
especially the lower portion CT IT.,
who depend upon Cambridge as d
| shipping and receiving point Tor
goods that are shipped by rail, but
all of these are today without ser
vice because there was a washout on
the line last night near federals-
burg.
The washout, which is said to be
about eighty feet in length and tWen :
ty feet deep, occurred sometime dur
ing the night, after the last train
had passed, and was discovered early
this morning. Orders were immed1-
ately dispatched to Cambridge not to
attempt to move any trains. with the
result that there have been no out
going trains at all, of any kind; in
structions were also received that
there would be no trains in, so that
so far as train service is concerned,
Cambridge today might just as well
be in the middle of the Sahara Desert
The local offices or the company
are without any information as to
when service will be resumed, al
though it is expected and believed
that it will be sometime tomorrow.
No effort was made this morning to
send the passengers to Hurlock. or
anywhere else; the United States
mail was returned to the pcstoftice
for whatever disposition Postmaster
Wright might see fit to make OF 1t.
Passengers for Wilmington, Phila-
Gelphia and New York, and all points
north, were left to make whatever
arrangements they pleased; that is,
the company neither did nor offered
to do anything for them.
The management of the situation
was about as rotten as anything could
be, and if the control of the lines
had not been vested in the Govern
ment, undoubtedly arrangements
would have been made to have diver
ted the passenger, mail and freight
trains over the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake and Atlantic Railway, by way
of HurIock and Salisbury, to connect
for northern points. In other words,
it looks as if those in charge of the
situation did not take the same in
terest in operating for the govern
ment that they would have taken un-
der private ownership.

WHY THE CHINAMAN
STICKS TO HIS NATIVE TONGUE

Another thing that
Makes English hard for the
Foreigner to learn is
The fact that you can
Blow your own horn,
Blow a whistle,
Blow yourself to a dinner,
Blow hard,
Blow hot and cold, and just
Blow (meaning to leave, to beat it
to get away.
You can also blow up
Something with dynamite.
The wind can blow, and
We use the same word to
Mean the act Of landing on
A fellows jaw with your fist.
Then the poor foreigner reads that
The steel strike was blow
To that industry, but the leaders
Expect it to Soon blow over.
Can you beat it? And we blow about
What a fine language we've got.

Plant an Acre

Impressions Of Those Who Visited
Polk County on Motorcade April
1920, Stimulating Them to Increase
Acreage of Groves in Lake County,
Leesburg, Fla, Sept. 29.-It has
been fifteen years since I was in
Polk county and was surprised to see
the wonderful progress that has been
made in that section.
1t is revelation for one to 60 over
the orange section Of Polk and see
the spirit Of cooperation that is SO
manifest. That spirit is reflected in
the excellent condition Of their
groves. The peoples very talk
breathes enthusiasm. They have
talked Polk county so much that, in
their opinion, no other county is quite
so good, and it is such a pleasure for
them to tell you about the wonders
of Polk and what they are doing to
make conditions better. They are
simply bubbling over with entsus-
iasm.
One is bound to have a broader
view Of life by mingling with those
people, and come away from them
benefited, and glad he has been
thrown with them.
Lake county needs to get imbued
with the same spirit. We have as
good county as any in the State
The only thing necessary is for it's
citizenship to get he idea thoroughly
implanted in their minds that Lake
Should be first in everything. In the
past we have been little too much
! self-satisfied. We must get away from
that idea. There is no question but
what Lake offers every opportunity
for a man of push and energy to
make good.
Lake county has the soil that is es-
pecially adapted to the culture of
citrus fruits, and while Lake has
some good groves they are not uni
versally as good is they Should be.
Let us take more pride in the up
keep Of them so that it will be a
pleasure to show the stranger with.
in our gates the beauties of an or.
ange orchard we'll kept.

RETROSPECTION
Try r. A. Ward.l

(By r. A. Ward.)
At the sunset OF life, when the eve.
ming shadows fall,
With the last CLEANS of daylight in
the West,
/ am thinking of the joys Of the early
morning hours
While longing for the joys Of home,
and rest.
The clouds have sometimes gathered,
and threatened me with harm.
And sometimes life's burdens have
been sore,
But life's days work is over, and I
will soon be called to rest,
Where storms and tolls will trouble
me no more.
The day had much Of sunshine, and
much of joy and peace,
And yet / shall rejoice to lay life's'
burdens down,
And will welcome the glad hour,
which brings me my release,
When I shall receive a glorious
robe and crown.
But what have I to show the Master
for His favors!
Where are the sheaves I should
have gathered in,
Not only from life's great, fully rip
ened harvest fields,
But from the alleys, and broad
highways OF sin?
'Tis well, sometimes, to take back
ward view,
Over the devious paths our feet
have trod;
Perhaps we may feel oppressed with
grief and sadness,
To be reminded of our wanderings
/ from God.
And yet these memories may prove a
lasting blessing
If we improve upon the lessons we
have learned
And seek to render our lives more
really useful.
And improve upon the chances we
have spurned.
We should not waste our time in use
less grieving,
Over sins, for which we are for
given,
God Says Of them II will remenbe.
them no more"
And surely we shall not remember
them in heaven.
And as we approach life's golden
eventide,
May our thoughts be turned to
things above,
And though our sins may grieve us.
we will watch and pray,
Assured of final triumph through
His boundless love.
