Dastardly Outrage.

Messrs. Harry I. and Fabian San
ders, while en- route from Waldorf to
their home near this town Tuesday
night last, were run into by machine
of colored ruiiians from Washington
a short distance south OF Waldorf.
Not satisfied with having ran into and
damaging the Sanders car, the ruiiians
sat upon the occupants, beat them and
stole their tools and license tags. In
the mean time another car of colored
people came along, towed the rutiians'
car away and they made their escape
before the Messrs. Sanders had sutii-
GENTLY recovered to notify the author
tiles.
These ruffians had attended the col
ored picnic at Chapel Point and were
evidently on their way back to Wash
ington. A rough element from Wash
ingtonIattends these picnics every year.
and in the future it would be better, if
possible, to bar all non-residents from
attending these entertainments.
1t is to be hoped that these miscre-
ants be caught and brought to justice.
Had a motorcycle cop been on duty
on this road, they would, in all prob
ability, be behind the bars where they
belong. There were none, however,
and the chances are that the miscreants
will escape the punishment they de-
serve. The colored people in this
county are law-abiding generally, but
such conduct as the above mentioned
will put damper on their entertain
ments.

Only about one half of the Maryland
crop IS in, and we must again advise
our members that the only ones not
getting satisfactory prices for their to-
bacco are those who are not packing
uniformly, Under your State inspec
ton here, your hogshead absolutely
will be represented. This is absolute
ly right for all--the farmer the buyer
and tie good of your industry.
Do not put two and three grades of
tobacco together il you expect to be
paid for the better grades, for you will
not. Pack only when tobacco is in
good condition, and not too high.
The crop is light this year, but try to
pack between 900 and 100 pounds to
the hogshead. Do not have short
breaks in your medium and good leafy
tobacco.
All tobacco is opened in rotation by
the State Tobacco Warehouse, and it
takes from seven to ten days after the
tobacco is received before it is opened.
We have recently sold the French
buyers good order OF French grades
of tobacco, and at satisfactory prices
where the tobacco had short rosgh or
second breaks packed with the smooth
tobacco. The farmers and dealers
will bear in mind that every hogshead
of tobacco sold on this market is sold
on its own merit land handling and
packing has great influence on the
price) and the selling of each hogs
head is an individual task, and the
packing Of each hogshead should be an
Individual task. As tobacco is selling
from SC. to 53lc., handle and pack
your tobacco so as to go as high up
the scale as possible. Try to meet the
demands OF the market and you will be
well paid.

Charles County Agricultural Fair.

A meeting of those interested in
holding the annual Fair this year was
held in the Court House, La Plata,
Thursday evening of last week, Aug.
23rd. 1t was decided to hold the Fair
at La Plata October 24th and 18th.
Mrs. e. 5. Bohannan, Mr.. j. B. Bur-

pointed a Committee on Rules and
Premiums. It is expected that the pre-
MUM list will be published early this
year, so that those who desire to ex-
hibit will have ample time to make pro-

The Fair held last year was quite a
success, all things considered, and it
is the hope of those taking an active
interest in same to make it better this
year than ever. just how successful
they will be depends on the eo-opera-
ton received. While good many
who, it seems, should have taken an
interest last year, did not do so, quite
substantial help was received from
many, both financial and otherwise.
