STORM KILLS
THE FRUIT CROP
Two Inches of Snow Fell In Wor-
cester County Sunday Night
And Finished Fruit Crop

Monday morning brought snow and
ice, and a temperature around 25 de-
grees, which has wiped out what was
left of this years prospect for any
kind of a fruit crop. Early vegetables
have been killed, and only about 20.
per cent of strawberry crop can be
looked for, even if we have good
weather from now on.
The storm swept the East and West,
and has done millions of dollars worth
of damage.
On Monday in this section, all the
trees and shrubbery were covered with
a heavy coating of ice and snow, and
many plants and shrubs just set out
by houSeholders, because of the late
warm weather, were killed.
1t is useless to depend on the fruit
trees this year. The best bet for those
who want to market fruit would be to
plant canteloupes and watermelons, or
to turn to growing tomatoes.
Harrison's Nurseries received word
from the great California cantaloupe
section that the cantaloupe crop was
killed Monday.

SEN. HARRISON
MENTIONED FOR
COMPTROLLER

The people of Maryland, regardless
of party will regret to learn that
Major Brooke Lee has definitely and
positively decided that under no cir
cumstances will he accept a renomi-
nation for the Office of Comptroller of
the State Treasury, which he is now
filling so acceptably to the public, and
with such great credit to himself and
the whole State. Up to the present
time there has been a general hope
that Major Lee would reconsider his
decision not to accept denomination
as the vast majority of the people re-
gardless of party were really anxious
to have an opportunity to vote for
him again. But he has definitely and
positively decided not to accept a re-
nomination, and the Democratic party
will now be obliged to find another
candidate for the place, which will not
be an easy task.
Ever since Major Lee made the an
nouncement that he would not be a
candidate, there has been more or less
talk in favor of Senator Orlando Har-
rison, of Worcester County, for the
nomination and there is little do,
but that Mr. Harrison can secure
honor should he desire it. He has
however that he prefers to go back to
the State Senate, and the probabilities
are that some one else will have to be
found to make the run.

MP. CONFERENCE
APPOINTMENTS
Rev. c. X. Strausburg Returned
To Snow Hill. Very Few
Changes Made

The Maryland Annual Conference
of the Methodist Protestant Church,
which has been in session at Newark,
New Jersey, came to a close Monday
night with the reading of the pastoral
appointments.
Strong resolutions were adopted
censuring the police department of
Baltimore for failure to enforce Sun
day observance, and blames "official
blindness" for the crime wave sweep
ing the country. Attorney General
Palmer was scored for his ruling on
beer.
The legalizing of race-track gam
bling in Maryland was condemned.
and voters in the church were urged
to use the proper influence for the
election of candidates to the coming
Legislature who would pledge support
against its overthrow. The election
of candidates in favor of Sabbath OBJ
servancc also was suggested.
The resolutions offered by the COM
mittee on moral reform also declared
that the recent campaign against So
called Sunday laws was nothing but
direct attack of the champions of vice
against the church under the camou-
hagc of liberal Interpretation"
