Defective Tube Ties Up Ferry.

Annapolis. Disabled by a defective
boiler tube, the Claiborne-Annapolis
ferry could not make its accustomed
trips between the Eastern and West

passengers were detained in Annap-
oils and crowd equally as large was
reported to have waited for passage
from the Eastern side.
Fires were drawn from the disabled
steamer, the Gov. Emerson G.. Har-
rington, Saturday night after one Of
the boiler tubes had blown out on the
trip to Annapolis. Boilermakers
worked until P. M. Sunday to repair
the damage, but the replaced parts
gave way when the vessel steamed
DIP again.
Many Of those unable to sail from
Annapolis left Baltimore at A. M,
hoping to make the morning sailing.
Disappointed in this, they were told

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best.
Dr.. kiImsr's SWamp-ROOt

I Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is pIain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilners Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Hilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
10 many people claim, that it fulflls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle Of
Swamp Root by parcel post. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and

Senate Aim Of Richie.

Positive information that Governor
Richie will not seek third term a.
Governor, but hopes to be his party's
candidate for the United States SEN
ate in the net general election, some
what clarified the political outlook in
the State.
The Governor, who already has
shattered precedent as old as the
State by obtaining second election
to that Office, definitely told his
friends he is not seeking to establish
further precedent by again going to
the Executive Mansion at Annapolis.
He takes the position that the State
has many men qualified for the Gov
ernorship, and that party cooperation
forbids him to obstruct their path by
seeking to hold on long beyond the
usual tenure.
At the same time he has let it be
known he is ambitious to extend his
public record by term in the Senate.
One of the main difficulties. in his
way, it is generally understood, is
that he is not wealthy. having few
resources beyond his salary.
The Governors attitude is expected
to precipitate scramble among Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans for the
Gubernatorial nomination of the re-
spective parties. Especially will this
be the case among Democrats, who
believe their candidate is almost GER
tain to carry the State.
Only in event that the numerous
aspirants get at death grips with
each other and the party finally de-
mands Richie as compromise,
would the Governor consent to run
for third term. he has told his
friends He has stated emphatically
that he will seek to avoid such al
situation.
Candidacy for the Senate is con-
sidered the netx logical step in the
Governors public career. He started

Service Commission. was elected At.

KEEP EYES ON GRAIN.
Traders Think Rise May Soon In
fiuence Stocks.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE street has
been giving some consideration to the
grain markets. largely because OF the
further advance in corn. which carried
the July option across 81 a bushel. In
dications point to the smallest yield OF
corn in several years and the price OF
the commodity appears to have been
justified in the outlook for the crop.
While nature has largely contributed to
the present situation In corn, there has
been a belief that the price Of all grain
might have had an influence In Wall
street. as professional operators have
been credited with "a conservative po-
sition for some time.
Bankers today were discussing the
industrial survey lately completed for
one of the leading manufacturing COM
panies, and thought there was visulized
a gradually improving business ten
dency which was expected to get into
full swing during 1925, The scope was
said to be international by those who
had first-hand knowledge OF it's con-
tents and appeared to have made con-
siderable impression upon that limited
portion OF the street which knew OF It's
existence.
