whether to retain the present system
of licensing beer and wine retailers,
Districts returning wet majorities
were Olney, Poolesville and Gathers
burg.
The largest dry majority was re-
turned in Colesville, where the First
Precinct went dry by 26 votes and
the Second by 1923 votes, for district
total of 154.
Poolesville gave the vets their
largest majority, 154 out of 454 votes
several precincts. The First Gathers
burg Precinct showed 281 wet and 286
dry. Votes by districts follow:
Laytonsville-Wet. 1893; dry, 247.
Clarksburg- g-Wet, 2O9; dry, 257.
Poolesville-Wet, 304; dry, $50.

1856; dry, 176.
Gaithersburg-First Precinct, wet,
2S1; dry, 2S6. Second, wet, 227; dry,
191.
Attention centered on the Olney
District because results there are ex-
pected to have a direct bearing on the
fate Of the bill passed by the State
Legislature authorizing sale of liquor
in reputable eating places in several
county districts including Olney.
Gov. Nice has not signed the bill,
indicating results of the referendum
would be awaited. Since the Olney
District voted wet, supporters of the
bill expect gubernatorial approval.

Commissioners Act
To Authorize New
Debt Certificates
$3OO,OOO To Be Raised; Marks
First Attempt Of Admins
tratiOn To Borrow

The Board of Montgomery County
Commissioners Tuesday authorized
the issuance of certificates of indebt.
edness totaling 100000. They will be
payable in five yearly installments
and will bear interest at the rate of
5 per cent per annum. Local banks
have oversubscribed the issue by more
than $400, 900. The issue will be pro-
rated among these institutions.
The issue marks the first attempt
of the new board of county commits
sioners to borrow any money on the
credit of the county. In a statement
the board declared:
"The board is opposed to any in
crease in the county debt and regrets
the fact that it is necessary to issue
these certificates at this time. The
proceeds of the issue will be used for
the following purposes:
81. $1,000 is required by the board
of election supervisors to pay for the
expenses of the liquor referendum
held in the county today (Tuesday),
No provision for this expenditure was
made in the levy of this year.
"2. To reimburse the county con.
tingent fund in the amount of $50, 1000
which sum was paid to the State
roads commission of Maryland in
November, 1884, by the former board
of commissioners. This payment was
made on the county Indebtedness tc
the State roads commission and was
not provided for in the levy.
"3. $1,000 for emergency road re.
pairs. Upon assuming Office, this
board was informed that Montgomery
County had overdrawn its allotment
of gasoline tax money from the State
roads commission. On January l.
1885, the board was informed that the
State roads commission of Maryland
would no longer keep in repair the
secondary roads of the county until
the overdraft referred to above haG
been liquidated. Since there was nc
provision in the levy for the mainten.
ance of county roads, and since this
board feels that the secondary roads
in the county must be repaired when
such repairs are absolutely essential
it feels that it is necessary that this
amount of money be borrowed fo1
this purpose.
"a. $4,000 for interest due on
school bonds.
"5. $22 800 for discount taken by
the former board on sale of refund
ing bonds.
"6. $154,500 for retirement of
bonds maturing prior to July 1, 1885.
Provision for these bonds was based
on liquor dispensary profits and State
gasoline tax money which the county
did not receive.

AS WE SEE IT
By MoNTco

THE WET-DRY ELECTION in
Montgomery County amounts to lit
tile so far as some beer dealers are
concerned. There are at least three
who will merely move over into ada
cent wet districts and continue to
do business. One man, we under
stand, will merely build "parlor''
at the other end of his property
which lies in another and wet dis
trict. We are glad to see that two
of the most Objectionable "spots" in
the county are automatically removed
from legal existence through the re-
suits in the Laytonsville and Coles
vile districts. Authorities should
keep an eye on these places if they
"crop up in some other spot" After
all the sale of beer In itself is prac-
tically harmless if properly policed
and properly managed.
LOCAL ROTARIANS WHO visit
Salisbury this week will have an
opportunity to see several of those
old religious shrires which are SO
closely interwoven with the history
of the Eastern Shore.
Old Rehoboth Presbyterian Church,
founded by Francis Mackenzie in 1888
'tMother Church" of that sect in the
United States, is but % miles from
Salisbury as the crow flies. In
1888 it was the shrine for pill
grimage for Presbyterians from all
sections of the country upon the
occasions of it's 25Oth Anniversary.
sWicomico Presbyterian Church is
one of the original Mackenzie churches
Green Hill Episcopal Church, a few
miles out from Salisbury built Of
bricks brought from England in 17Ss
is another ancient edifce.
Bishop William Murray Stone, Cd
the Diocese of Maryland from 1886
until 1888, lies buried in Parsons
Cemetery.
While Salisbury points with pride
to these and other early seats of re-
igious fervor visitors will be like
wise impressed with the many ultra
modern church structures to be found
within it's borders.
In historic lore, like religion, this
section abounds. The birthplace of
Stephen Decatur interpid American
naval hero, is near Berlin, "a miles
from Salisbury. General Roxburgh,
of Revolutionary War fame, is bur-
led on the Anderson farm near Sails
bury. Samuel Chase, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence from
Maryland, was born on the Wicomico
River

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 4.-Downturns OF
grain prices early today accompanied
reports of cold wet snow in the dust
area Of the Southwest. This is the
first time this season that the region
of duststorm origin has been blanketed
with moisture. Opening unchanged to
1s up, July, 971sa97ss, wheat soon
underwent a general setback. Corn
started unchanged to g off. July,
S3as sa8312, and continued downhill.
Weakness of grain prices here was
checked to a considerable degree by
upturns of silver cotton and securi-
ties. Besides, Liverpool wheat quota
tions were relatively firm, owing to
large purchases of Argentine and
Danubian wheat for Italy and because
of further buying of Australian wheat
to be shipped to Oriental countries.
Fears also were expressed that the
moisture Southwest had come too late
ito be of much help to the domestic
Winter wheat crop.
Some selling of wheat was based
on bearishness of corn and oats mar
.kets. This came largely with news
sof big shipments of Argentine corn
to the United States, together with
word from Washington that the Ar
;gentine corn crop was of excellent
quality. There were Illinois reports,
TOO telling of well-soaked fields ready
for commencement of corn planting.
May delivery Of corn, however, dis
played relative strength.
, Provisions held about steady, dupli-
eating the action of the hog market.
