No Early Open Season For
Squirrel

The following letter of information
concerning the squirrel season has
been received by The Republican from
the State Game Warden with the re-
quest that it be given publicity thru
this medium.
To avoid confusion among the pub
lie, attention is called to Section 20,
Chapter SAB, Acts of 1881, relative to
the hunting of squirrel and dove. Said
section provides it to be unlawful to
hunt squirrel or dove in Allegany,
Garrett and Cecil counties except be-
tween the dates of November Is and
December "a. The open season for
the hunting of doves in all counties
except Allegany, Garrett and Cecil is
September LIST to September 30th, and
the open season for the hunting of
squirrel in all counties except Allie
gany, Garrett and Cecil is September
18th to October 18th.
Our deputy game wardens have
been instructed in the counties of AL
legany, Garrett and Cecil to appre-
bend any person found hunting squir-
rel or dove prior to November 18th.

Agencies Making Plans For This
Winters Relief

With numerous calls for clothing,
shoes, etc., for school children at the
office of the public health nurse, relief
agencies of Garrett county are al
ready making plans to care for the
winter needs of those unable to pro-
vide for themselves.
Last year the National Red Cross
gave $1,000 toward relief in Garrett
county, and the County Commission
ers expended more than $4,000 in ex-
cess of the regular appropriation for
dependents. With the local Red Cross
headquarters giving approximately
$500, this made total of $4,000 ex-
pended for relief work in the county
and the probabilities of needing as
great a sum this year depends on the
activities of the coal mines of the Sec
ton, according to Mrs. E. 2. Tower,
local Red Cross chairman.
Last year 1853 families, or total of
SIT individuals were aided by dona-
tions of foodstuffs, clothing, seed for
garden planting and food for live
stock. Many of those in need last
winter have not been able to recover
from their setback to any great extent
and will be looking to relief agencies
again this winter, Mrs. Tower said.

THE FIRST EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION ~ .

When reference IS made to the
Emancipation Proclamation our minds
naturally revert t6 TIE 22nd day of
September, 1862, when President Lin
coin issued proclamation giving for
NAL notice that unless the Southern
States returned within hundred days
to the allegiance to the Union he
would declare the slaves within their
limits free, and of that other procla-
nation on the 1st day of January,
1863, putting forth definite Procla-
nation of Emancipation.
But history records another proc
lanlation of emancipation issued more
than eighty years prior to the more
familiar one issued by President Lin
coin. 1t was during the stirring days
of the Revolutionary period when Lord
Dunmore John Murray, fourth Earl
of Dunmore) was Governor of Vir-
ginia. He had the honor Of being
governor of two states-of New York
in ITO, and appointed governor OF
Virginia in 1771-arriving in the lat
ter colony in 1772. Preceding and dur
ing the events that led up to the
Declaration of independents, Dunmore
was loyal to the British crown and
was driven from Virginia in 1775, es-
Gaping in British man of war.
As has been mentioned in former
articles, there were those who hoped to
affect reconciliation of the contend
ing British and American factions
whereby all differences could be set
tied. But it was not to be. While ne
eotiations were pending plan by Gov
ernor Dunmore to assail the western
settlements of Virginia and Maryland,
was discovered. 1t was on his first
war-like move that the people of Vir-
pinia forced him to flee to the man OF
war. He then laid Norfolk in ashes
and conspired with John Connolly, OF
Pennsylvania, DR.. John Smith, tory,
of Charles county, and others, to bring
a force of Indians from Detroit and
capture Pittsburgh and Cumberland,
and Join Dunmore's force near Alexan-
dria, within a few miles of the home
Of General Washington.
In addition to the Indians, Dunmore
conceived the idea of using in his OPP
erations runaway negroes. Some ne
had forced to join him and in the hope
Of encouraging others to abandon the
plantatins, he issued proclamation
of emancipation to the negro slaves OF
Virginia. AS he was already carrying
on a predatory warfare upon the
shores of the Chesapeake, and as I'M
doubtedly the reputation he had
gained in "Dunmore's War" in 1774
on the western frontier in the Ohio
Valley (Dunmore being the only royal
Governor that ever led a military ex-
petition into that Valley, the people
of both Maryland and Virginia had
cause to fear the double horrors of In
dian massacre and an insurrection Of
slaves. His plan involved the raising
of "Lord Dunmore's Regiment of In
dams" and "Lord Dunmore's Ethio-
plan Regiment" but --..
