MARKER NUMBER THIRTEEN
An Account by Col. Harry Cilmor of
His Fight with Somers Near
Summit Point.

Ills right with Somers wear
Summit Point.
About the close of September
1868, / took SO men from my camp
at Mt. Jackson with the intention OF
crossing the Potomac to capture q
lot of government horses and mules
which my scouts had reported to be
grazing in the neighborhood of Hag-
erstown. Their picket lines extend
ed to and beyond Charles Town,
where a regiment of infantry and
two companies of cavalry were sta
toned. Captain Somers commanded
the cavalry, and Col. Benjamin
Simpson the 9th Maryland.
crossed the line without being de-
tected, but when l reached the river
/ found it past fording, and had to
return.
| camped in the woods on William
Washington's place, and, being de-
termined not to go back without
some game, sent scouts to watch the
road leading out of Charles Town.
| had not slept more than two hours
when | learned that rs cavalry had
gone up the road leading to Smith
field. The men were soon mount
ed, and, striking out across the
country, we got into the road in the
rear of this squad, and followed on
their trail to Smithfeld. Soon after
reaching the turnpike we met a man
whom / knew to be Unionist, but
expecting to capture the party ahead
of me before they could reach
Charles Town in my rear, / let him
pass. What a change it would have
made in subsequent events had
taken him along with us! We con-

To The Editor OF The Daily Banner,
Dear Sir
Will you allow me space in your
valuable paper TO call attention to an
ERRONEOUS impression that is being
given, entirely unintentionally on
your part / am sure, by committing
the word New" and referring to
your new library as the Dorchester
County Library instead OF the New
Dorchester County Library, thus I'M
fortunately conveying to the unln-
formed ON the subject the idea that
Dorchester County is only just COM
ing into line with the other counties
in the state in the matter of library
work. Instead Of being, as is the
case, almost in the van.
Dorchester County already has two
Public Libraries; one at Golden Hill
and the other at Hurlock. The one
at Hurloek, has been in eXistance for
twenty years.
At the time that the State Library
Commission was formed in 1910 the
Field Secretary reported that out
side of Baltimore City there were not
but two public libraries in the state,
one in Hagerstown, Washington
county. and one in Hurlock. Dorches-
ter county.
Back of 1910 the state records do
not $3.50 whether the library at
Hagerstown antedates that at Hur-
lock am not prepared to say but at
least only Baltimore and Washing
ton counties can claim precedence
over Dorchester in the matter, of pub
lie libraries.
HOPE S. BARBER,
Librarian Hurlock Free Library.

A Road OF Solid Glass

Ever hear OF a mountain Oh glass
Or a glass Road?
No this isn't yarn about a glass
pyramid in the rear of somebody
bottle factory, nor a story OF
broken. bottle road police trap fol-
speeders.
A mountain of solid glass was the
biggest problem confronting the con
struction engineers who built the
MAGNIFICENT road system which Is
one of the finest. artificial, features
s0f the Yellowstone National Park.
-, How they solved the problem, BY
methods hitherto unheard OF in roae
construction is one of the most inter
estins freak stories in the history
roadmaking.
When the special geological report
of the scientists attached to the
United States Geological Survey was
submitted to the I. S. Government
ENGINEERS, before construction work
was started, nothing very remarka,
BILE was noted, except the statement
that, for three-quarters OF mile
along the proposed river route, there
was a seemingly impenetrable noun
tain of glass running sheer down &c
the river.
Road construction was started III
other parts of the immense domain
while the engineers prepared to at
tack the mountain, which was really
q survival of the Cretaceous and sub
ssquent Tertiary Periods might have
been yesterday in the history of yell
lowstone, whose story goes back &c
the first cooling of the earth's sur
face.
Giant blasting powders and heavy
charges of dynamite were used, with
as little effect on the adamant glass
wall as q wooden mallet. Finally
when all the usual methods had
failed, a surveyor with the engineer
ing party. who had formerly been d
grass-blower suggested heating the
mountain. and spraying it afterwards
with water to make is disintegrate.
Since the standard methods had
unsuccessful the engineers were in
clined to think this idea might be
practicable Accordingly great logs
were hauled and piled along the
base of the mountain, and fires start
ed along the three-quarter mile sec
ton of the proposed route.
Energetic crews piled logs on the
fire for several days land after the
desired heat had been registered,
the intrepid engineers directed the
spraying Of the mountain face with
water from the liver below.
The entire face of the mountain
exploded in huge chunks, the deaf
ening reports being heard for many
miles. The experiment was a COM
plete success About half of the
space was cleared and after another
trial, they had room enough for a
Roman Chariot Race
]: This short .three-quarter mile
stretch of road, while wonderfully
constructed and built to last for GEN.
;:turies, is unequalled anywhere in
sthe world for its ability to inf1ict
punishment on automobile tires. Be
scause of the abrasive forces en-
:s;countered, the tires must have very
slough tread and give the utmost in
Traction. -

To The Members +.
OF The Nom Partisan
Taxpayers Association

To The Members OF The Non-Par-
tisan Taxpayers Association
1t has been brought to our notice,
that there is report going around
that our Association is dead, but I
want to assure you that we are
neither dead nor asleep at the switch
and will have some real live issues
to put forth, when the proper tim
comes. .- j
We wish to commend the County
Commissioners for. the good reports
that We are hearing about the good
work, they are doing on the roads
and so long as they do good econom-
ical work and save the Taxpayers
money, they will find our Association
cooperating with them in ever re-
spect.
Whilst we have not learned of
much that The Board of Education is
doing to fmproce school conditions
we do hope that the Officials will
realize that increased compensation
should mean increased efficiency and
if we don't get it they can depend on
hearing from our Association. J
During the summer we propose to
have several big meetings through
out the county for there are quite
number of things that the Tax-pay:
ers should know. !:
We should know the whilst there
are quite a number of counties in the
State. receiving interest on their
bank balances of public funds, Dor
chester is not one, of them.
The Taxpayers are entitled to
know why favored few are benefit
e dat their expense.
We also want TO know why it was
that when every bank was lending
money to their cepositors at So,
Dorchester County had to pay 10.
These are some of the things that
our Association is going to investi-
gate and try and rectify.
This Association is going to work
in the interest of the Taxpayers, re-
gardless of political Affiliations and
we ask that all Taxpayers CO.
operate with us.
Yours truly

Why Are Some Women Popular

happy, beloved and successful,
while otherc drag out nerative ex-
istance, of no Use to themselves or
anyone else? Except in a few cases
the answer is to be found in a state
of freedom from the troubles known
as female" The we'll woman rad
iates cheerfulness and serenity,
while the ailing one repels because
of her lack of these qualities. 1t
is not necessary, however. Ito har-
Dor aches and pains, and the sblues'
that make one "a detriment TO So
ciety. The use of Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has
brought relief to- such women, and
given them new lease of life

He cited instances of clubs
adopting resolutions to assist in en-
forcement and said friends of the
amendment are to be congratulated
on the spirit sucn organizations are
taking. 1T is most helpful and en-
couraging." he said. 1T is true
patriotism, because the 18th

question of law enforcement, and
particularly gratified that business
