CARROLL FOUNTAINS
WILL HOLD BANQUET
JOHN C. K00AS AND JOHN M. REIFSNIDER
TO Be THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS ON
JANUARY 19.

First Assistant Postmaster General
John G. Koons, the foremost son of
Carroll county in the National Gov
ernment, and Chairman John M. Reif-
snider of the Public Service Commis
sion, its foremost son in the State ad-
ministration, are the announced Or
ators at The first annual banquet of the
Carroll county Society of Baltimore
city, to be held on the night Of Janu-
ary 10, at the Hotel Emerson.
The date is the anniversary of the
passing by the General Assembly in
1887 of the confirmatory act creating
the county, and it's legal existance
has run from that time. The crea-
tion of Carroll was an outcome of the
reform movement of 1886, and it was
carved out of the two largest coun-
ties in the State, BaltiL1ore county
and Frederick. Governor Frank
Thomas has always been credited
with its creation, but it's history has
not been as stormy as the "revolu-
ton that made it. -
LESS than a year ago the 'eXileS"
from Carroll county were brought in
to organization at meeting held in
the office of Charles r. Woods, a
Baltimore lawyer, and who was made
the first president. The membership
has grown to nearly $50, and a strong
effort is beng made to get the sew
eral hundred Carroll countians now
living in Baltimore into the Society.
It is unique among the organizations
of the. kind in admitting womenI to
membership, and the chairman of its
board of governors is Miss Carrie
Green. The word MALE does not
appear in it's constitution.
Mr.. Reifsnider's illness may cause
his absence from the program on
Monday night, but his place will be
taken by some other prominent Car
roll countian. Mr.. Koons who went
from this county as a railway mail
clerk, and has had a remarkable ca
! reer in Postoffice Department ser
vice, has assured the Society that he
will speak at its first banquet, and
arrangements are being made to have
this an impressive occasion and to
outdo, if possible, the Eastern Shore
men and the Southern Marylanders.
officers Of the Society are: Chas.
r. Woods, president; Harry w.
Handley, secretary and treasurer
Willis e. Myers and DR.. Joseph T.
Herring, vice-presidents; and Miss
Carrie Green, ]. Albert Mitten, DIR.

such a condition may he attributa-

have ever been before. The politicians
may feel the same party loyalty that
prevailed prior to the war, but that
same loyalty does not exist on the
part of the average voter He is for
America before he is for any party
and he will vote the ticket that looks
best for the nation regardless of
party affiliations. This condition
would make any election doubtful
until the votes are counted.
