JESSE J. ASHBY CONTINUES
AS COUNTY TREASURER
County Commissioners Fail To
Make Appointment of Successor

By reason of the fact that the BoarC
of County Commissioners could mo-
agree when they met last Saturday
evening for the express purpose Of
appointing County Treasurer tt
succeed Jesse ]. Ashby, Jr., to that of
flee, Mr.. Ashby remains in charge Of
the county's finances until his success.
sor shall have been duly appointed anc
qualified.
At the general election last fal
Walter Imam was the candidate on the
Republican ticket and was declared
duly elected by the Board of Super.
visors of Elections when the ballots
were canvassed. His commission was
signed by Governor Nice and forwarded
in due time to the proper officer ir
Oakland, but Mr.. Imam could not meet
the requirements prescribed by law
to take charge of the office.
Mr.. Ashby was regularly elected
Treasurer four years ago and the com
mission issued by the then Governor
Richie provided that he should hold
the Office for four years from a GER
tain date in April, 1881, or until his
successor is duly elected and qualified
Mr. Ashby, under the Law qualified as
the Treasurer and in accordance with
the law and his commission retains the
office until his successor is duly
elected and qualified"
In case of a vacancy or the ina
bility of one regularly elected to quail
ify as Treasurer, then the County
Commissioners are given authority
under the law to make a selection
At the regular meeting of the Com
missioners on Monday and Tuesday
of last week, the members of the Board
made an effort to elect some one to
succeeded Mr.. Ashby as Treasurer, but
the board was unable to agree and
in consequence an adjourned meeting
was held Saturday evening with the
same result and Mr.. Ashby was in
structed to retain possession of the
books and papers of the Office and to
proceed at once with the collection of
taxes for the year 1885.
At the adjourned meeting a ballot
was taken as had been done at the
Monday and Tuesday meetings, result
ing as had the ballots in the earlier
days of the week, hence no choice was
made.
Applicants for the office were Mr..
Ashby, Cheston H. Browning, George
D. Sprague, Henry M. Speicher, Tru-
man C. Bittinger and Harry Paugh.

CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY
MAKES REPORT OF WORK
Sixty-Eight Children Have Had
Supervision During Is Months
80 Now in Foster Homes

A report of the work done in the
county by the local branch of the
Maryland Children's Aid society since
February 8, 1884, has been made in
the past few days by Mrs. E. z. Tower,
director, and shows that many children
are being aided in humane way.
During that time 70 children have
been supplied with shoes and clothing
enabling them to attend school regu-
larly; &c tonsillectomies have been per-
formed; Is have been given medicine,
dental work and nursing care; one was
operated on for eye trouble, and 10 had
eyes examined and glasses furnished.
Sixty-eight children outside of their
own homes, have had supervision of
the Children's Aid, and of this number
30 are now in foster homes in the
county, the others having passed from
care, some to institutions, a number
returned to their own homes because of
improved conditions.
Through the County Commissioners,
who contribute to this work, IL of the
80 are in boarding homes, 7 are in
free homes and II are cared for by
relatives. Work in connection with the
school attendance officer and the
States Attorney has brought a num-
Der of delinquent children and young
women under the care of the society.
Some were removed from their home
surroundings, others were treated for
physical ailments. Two children, forced
to stay out of school because of ex-
IRENE defect of speech, have been re-
ceiving special instruction and will be
ready to enter school in the fall on a
fair basis with other children.
Family welfare work is being car
ried along with the children's work,
since one is inseparable from the other
and often little assistance has tided
family over difficulty, holding it
together and rendering the home more
habitable for the children.
Work with retarded school children
is progressing slowly, according to
Mrs. Tower, on account of lack of
funds.

An Editorial
A FAIR CHANCE

A fair chance for every Garrett
county child-that is the aim of the
local branch of the Maryland Children's
Aid society for which benefit parties,
dances, ETC., are being held this week
and for the next two or three weeks.
Many children of the county are need
ing help.
Child welfare has become a topic of
paramount interest in America in the
last decade and more especially since
unemployment and relief have as
sumed such immense proportions.
But with all the vast sums already
spent or which will be spent by the
Federal government, very little of the
amount goes directly to neglected
or dependent children, with the result
that the need for aid of children in
rural communities is unprecedented.
This aid does not mean handing out
money alone. 1t means making children
happy and comfortable, either in their
own homes, or if their own homes are
undesirable, in foster homes. 1t means
clothing children properly so that they
may attend school. 1t means furnish
ing them with glasses and removing
their tonsils when necessary, so that
they will be better enabled to learn
and be on a par with their school mates.
1t means teaching retarded children.
1t means giving them an environment
that will be conducive to growing up
into fine young men and women, in
stead of an environment of neglect,
want, lack of care, immortality, disease,
and in many cases abuse.
1t means giving them love and ten
derness where those virtues are lack
ing. That's what raising money for the
Maryland Children's Aid society will
mean in Garrett county or any other
county in the state.
Nothing more worthwhile could be
done than to take some of the money
now being distributed through relief
to persons who are living better today
by no work than they ever lived before,
and place it at the disposal of social
service workers among the neglected
children. But Federal funds do not
provide for such. However, the needs
of children still exist. It's here and
must be faced by the people.
Proper surroundings, proper train
ing, and proper treatment of children
now will eventually repay the country
in better men and women. Children
hurry onward to "grown-up" land
They must be served now if at all. And
the indelible impressions left in child
hood will mold the character of our
nation tomorrow.
Those not caring to dance, play
cards, or eat candy, may make contri-
buttons to the Children's Aid society.
Sixty-eight children were aided in the
county last year. A hundred more
could be benefcially aided if there
were funds. There will be funds, if
everybody will help in some way.
