WOOD CARRIED MARYLAND
BY CLOSE TO 5000 MAJORITY
Johnson Was Successful In Allegany
and Washington Counties.

Major General Leonard Wood de-
feated Senator Hiram W. Johnson in
an unusually light vote Monday in the
primaries for Maryland's preference
for the Republican nomination for
President by a majority of approx
lmately 7841, according to the unoffi-
cial returns which were tabulated at
the Wood headquarters on Tuesday.
The few missing precincts are not
expected to materially alter the re-
suit. The vote was Wood, $4,000;
Johnson, $685. General Wood carried
all four legislative districts in Balti-
more and all but two of the twenty
three counties-Allegany and Wash
ington. Johnson's majority in ALE
gany was about 900 and between 40
and go in Washington.
According to the returns, General
Wood will have 116 of the 129 dele
gates to the state convention which
will name 16 delegates to the national
convention. These will be instructed
in accordance with the state election
laws to vote as unit for Wood as
long as in their conscientious judg-
ment he has reasonable chance of
winning the nomination"
There was no contest for the Dem
ocratic nomination and the state del
egation will go to the San Francisco
national convention uninstructed.
United States Senator John Walter
Smith, Democrat, was unopposed for
denomination, as was also his Republi
can opponent, Ovington E. Weller, of
Baltimore county.
The Congressional primaries result
ed as follows: First district, T. Alan
Goldsborough, Democrat, W. n. An
drews, Republican; Second, Carville
d. Benson, Democrat, A. A. Blakeley.
Republican; Third Charles P. Coady,
Democrat, John Philip Hill Republi
can; Fourth, J. c. Linthicum, Demo
crat, W. 0. Atwood Republican; Fifth,
Thomas S. Klinger, Democrat, Sidney
Z. Mudd, Republican,; Sixth, Frank VI.
Mish, Democrat, Frederick n. Zihl-
man, Republican.
Belated returns from the first con-
gressional district placed the nomina-
ton of Goldsborough, Democrat. for
representative in doubt. He was re-
ported to be leading H. w. Robertson
by only 40 votes with one precinct
uncounted and it may require the Off
cial canvass to determine the result.
Robertson ran as wet" candidate.
while Goldsborough was noncommital
on the prohibition question.

GARRETT COUNTY GOES FOR
THE SOLDIER CANDIDATE
General Wood Has Majority of 1879,
Carrying All But Three Districts.

The official canvas of the vote cast
at the primary election held in Garrett
county on Monday of this week when
Presidential candidates Senator Hi
ram w. Johnson, of California, and
Major General Leonard Wood, of Hi
nois were the contesting candidates
for the votes of the four delegates
in the State convention from this
county, resulted in General Woods
favor, his adherents having had the
majority in ten of the fourteen cleo
ton districts, giving him 139 votes
over his opponent.
Less than six hundred votes were
cast in the entire county. Monday
was the first day for at least a month
when weather conditions permitted
the tilling of the ground and the re-
suit was farmers staid right at home
engaged in their labors, while in the
towns an exceedingly light vote was
polled. With a registration of more
than thousand in the two Oakland
districts there were less than two hun
bred ballots cast in the two districts

tail and is official

LEGION'S FIRST SOCIAL AFFAIF
Was The Dance Given Last Night By
Members of the Local Post.

Last night was the initial social
affair held under the auspices of the
local post American Legion, when the
dance which had been literally adver-
tised, was held, and which brought to-
gether probably the largest crowd of
home people ever attending a like af-
fair in the history of the town.
1t is estimated that more than two
hundred couples were present at Of
futt's Hall, where the dance took
place, and which had been handsomely
decorated for the occasion with the
National colors.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the U. R. X. of P. Orchestra
of Keyser, West Va, and notwith
standing the fact that the members
of the organization could not reach
Oakland much. before ten o'clock, the
trip being made by automobile, the
large crowd in attendance was patient
and enjoyed every minute of the even
ing thus happily spent.

NEW MEMBER OF BOARD OF
EDUCATION APPOINTED
MIR. John o. Thayer Named BY The
Governor to Succeed Mr.. SIiger.

To the surprise and chagrin of the
great majority of the people of Gar
rett county, or at least those of its
cltlzens who place schools above polit-
zeal preference, Mr.. Richard E. Sliger.
OF oakland, who has been a member
OF the County Board of Education and
mas devoted much of his time to the
administration of the affairs of the
ONCE for the past several years. has
been succeeded by Mr.. John o. Thayer.
OF District No. z, whose residence is
located near Thayerville.
The appointment of Mr.. Thayer was
announced on last Friday afternoon
by Governor Richie and the appoin-
tees name appeared in the Baltimore
Sun on Saturday morning along with
a list of others for various counties
of the State.
Mr.. Thayer, so far as can Be
learned, was not endorsed for the ap-
pointment by the Democratic County
Committee, as it was pretty generally
understood that that body was giving
its entire influence to the candidacy
OF Mr.. William E. Stanton, of Grants
vile. In fact, majority of the COM
mlttee had endorsed him for the place,
while one or two members of the COM
mlttee had another choice, but Mr..
Thayer was not thought of and the
result is the committee is sore on the
Governor, sore at Mr.. Thayer and at
the influence, which has been located
IN Montgomery county, responsible for
his selection.
Mr.. Sliger's name was presented to
the Governor by a number of his per-
sonal friends and while the execu-
tive did not make any definite promise
that he would reappoint the Oakland
man, his sponsors felt that if Mr..
Stanton were not appointed then Mr..
Sliger surely would be.
Since the announcement of the name
of the new member of the board many
influential men who were favorable
to the proposed bond issue for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the better
ment of the school system in the coun-
ty publicly declare that they will not
only oppose the measure with their
ballots at the pools but will use every
influence at their command to defeat
the proposed issuance of bonds.
The feelings of the people generally
with respect to the appointment of
the new member of the board is ex-
pressed in the following communica-
ton which appeared in the columns of
the Baltimore Sun on Tuesday morn
ing and which we reproduce as it APP
peared in that paper using the caption
written by the editor of the Sun as
well as the body of the article:

This Man Thinks The Governor Is
Incapable OF Managing The
School System, And That The
State Board OF Education Was
Right In Ignoring Him-And He
Says His Appointee For Garrett
County Is A Sad And Disastrous
Joke 4st
To the Editor of The Sun.-Sir: There
has been quite a bit of dissatisfaction
owing to the State Board of Educa-
ton appointing Mr. NJ. Bates Ste
phens to the superintendent. Prob
ably this body of men are right. No
doubt they had an idea whom the
Governor favored, and in my opinion
| do not think he is capable of man.
aging the school system. His appoint
ment for Garrett county is one very,
very sad joke, and it is bound to tear
down, create disturbance, defeat the
bond issue and disrupt the system
we have had in the past few hard
years.

and read of this appointment many
times. | have 500 of hard-earned
money if he will visit his appointee

Coal ComDany's Holdings.

A coal property deal of unusual i'm
portance to Garrett county has just
been consummated in Philadelphia by
which the A. B. Crichton Coal Com
pany of Johnstown, Pa, with branch
offices in Philadelphia and New York,
has acquired at a consideration of
$780, 900 the holdings and property

Railroad. The mines are located at
a, distance of about two and a half
miles from Kitzmiller and are reached

railway up Three Fork Run. The tract
consists of about two thousand acres
of rich coal land, which embraces
the Beckman property of eight hun
dred acres and an additional acre
age purchased number of years ago
by the Chaffee Company from the
Manor Mining and Manufacturing
Company of this county. When the
mine is improved and modernized it
will have capacity of 1900 tons
daily. The purchaser of the property
also becomes the possessor of a min
ing town with population of about
500 and the railroad leading down to
the main line of the Western Mary
land Railroad. The name will be
changed to the Manor Coal Company.
the officers of which are: President,
A. B. Crichton; treasurer, H. A. erich
ton, and secretary, j. M. Crichton.

tons day. The Improvements by
which this will be tripled include the
complete electrifcation of the mine.
The product is high grade steam coal.

with snow piled so high that all traf'
fic has been seriously restricted; with
MANY people suffering because OF in
adequate transportation for coal and
foodstuffs and from the biting, blast
ing. death-dealing winds which nave
carried suffering to so many, the mar.
yelous climatic advantages of Florida
and of many other portions OF the
South stand out in mixed contrast
While the North has been wrapped IN
snow and ice.bound and while the
blizzards have swept over the lana
as never before, Florida has been
blessed beyond the power OF words 10

Through all the biting, blasting biz
yards, which have brought misery and
loss running into the hundreds OF mil
lions, in the aggregate, to the Nortn

give a new demonstration of its I'M
equaled advantages.
IL is well, therefore, Whiio sno pAN
yards rage and the snow still fingers
and the ice still covers the grounds
in the North and West that this ire
mendous asset which Florida has in
its climatic advantages shall be made
as widely konwn as possible When
once the country has fully realized
Florida's wealth of climate and Its
other wonderful resources, the time
will come when, as one New Yorker
who has been living in the state for
three years lately said: "The only dill
ficulty with Florida is that there is
only one of it, and in the future years
il will be so overcrowded that there
will not be room enough for the peo'

iORTICULI URiL
SOCIETY or FLORIDA
MEETS MAY Al

Probably the Oldest organization in
Florida. in connection with land prou-
ucts, the Florida State ~Horticultur-
al Society, which was organized and
held its first meeting in-Ocala thirty
three years ago, or in 1888.
The announcement has just been
made that the thirty-third annual
meeting Of this society will be held in
Ocala May 4 to 7, so this should be
a sort of jubilee meeting, when ev-
cry member should be in attendance
to do honor to the place of its nativ-
ity.
For a great many years horticul-
ture held the most prominent place in
the general production Of Florida and
It is still one of the most important
of all the varied industries in the
state, although many other branches
Of production are pushing ahead Of
Il in recent years, onotably live stock
and general farming.
The splendid rejuvenation Of the
citrus industry, following the disas-
f.; trous freeze of 1895 has been one of
the marvels Of the age and still it Is
growing steadily and improving con-
stantly. The crop that has just beer
marketed reached nearly ten million
boxes and sold for from twenty-five
to thirty million dollars and had Il
not been for the scarcity Of sugar
which interfered seriously with the
marketing Of grapefruit, the croI
would have brought in the neal
neighborhood OF $35,000,O0O' as or
anges ave sold as high as $11.5O
box.
But horticulture is not confined tt
citrus fruits by any means. All kind
of fruits and ornamentals are includ
ed in the term horticulture and at tn
coming meeting a feature will b
made of the discussion Of home frui
gardens, deciduous fruits, avocadoes
sub-tropical fruits and ornamentals
, Nearly every kind Of fruit that !
grown in any section Of the countr
, can be grown in Florida with vary
g. ing degrees of success and this en-
ables the residents to have a gres
variety for home consumption even
they do not care to market some
