The Primaries.

The primaries, which took
place on Monday last, passed off
quietly in this county and
throughout the State. In fact,
the primary was SO apathetic
that one hardly knew an election
was being held. Little interest
was taken in this county, where
the only contest among Repub-
licans was for preference be-
tween General Wood and Sena-
tor johnson, and among the Dem
ocrats, for the Congressional
nomination.
General Wood, as was expect
ed, carried the State and will re-
ceive Maryland's vote for the
Presidential nomination as long
as the delegates believe he has a
chance for the same.
The Democratic delegates will
go to San Francisco uninstructed
and there fore will be free to vote
Tor whom they please.
Mr.. O. &. Weller and Senator
John Walter Smith had no oppo-
sition for the Republican and
Democratic nominations, respec-
lively.
There were contests for the
nomination for Congress in sew
eral Districts, one Of which was
in this Congressional District,
where Capt. Thomas S. Kinger,
of Prince Georges County, won.
He, therefore, will have the honor
Of leading a forelorn hope this
fall.
Pitted against Capt. Klinger
were Walter b. Dorsey, of Anne
Arundel, DR., John w. Klemm, OF
Prince Georges, and Frank 0.
Smith, of Calvert County,
The political campaign proper
will begin after the nomination
of candidates by the respective
parties for President, when the
political fireworks will start and
continue until day of election.
The conditions in this country
point without doubt to victory
this fall for the Republicans il
the National election. Mr.. Vel
Ter, the able and capable candi
date for the U. S. Senate, will
repeat what Senator France did
in his fight against David Lewis
while in the Fifth Congressional
District, the reelection of Sgd
ney E. Mudd is a foregone con
clusion.

REVERENCE FOR TIE LAW.

Let reverence for the laws be
breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that
prattles on her lap; let it be
taught in schools, in seminaries,
and in colleges; let it be written
in the primers, spelling books
and almanacs; let it be preached
from the pulpit, proclaimed in
legislative halls and enforced in
courts of justice. And, in short.
let it become the political relig-
ion of the nation; and let the old
and the young, the rich and the
poor, the grave and the gay of
all sexes and tongues and colors
and conditions sacrifice unceas-
ingly upon its affairs. -ABRA-

Estsussosist Says Worms on Alfalfa
Aren't Army Variety

n A destructive worm closely re.
sembling the army worm has ap-
peared in large numbers here and In
eastern Kansas, according to reports
OF farmers. The worms are serious
ly injuring wheat and alfalfa, es-
pecially new alfalfa In which volun-
teer wheat has been growing. Ac.
cording to George A. Dean, entomo-
logist, at X. 8. A. c., the worms
have much the same general appear
ance as the army worm. "H0wever,"
he adds, there are marked differ
ences. Along each side of the body
Is a dark colored stripe and along the
middle Of the body or down the back
is wide yellowish- gray stripe with
four black dots on each segment.
1.-The worms are general feeders
attacking large variety of field and
garden crops.
'The fall army worms are not diff
cult to control, and while there are
several methods by which this may
be done, the most effective and the
most practical method is to poison
them with poisoned bran mash, pre-
pared in the following manner:
Formula for small amount:
Bran, l pound; Paris green or white
arsenic, ounce; syrup or molasses
8 DUNES; lemon or orange, (including
peeD " ounce; water " pint.
Formula for large amount:
Bran, 20 pounds; paris green or white
