A Year OF Phenomena

In our opinion, 1910 will go down in
history as being civilizations most out
standing year for surprises and pheno-
mena
Before Hitlers magic war machine open
ed up on the western front, very few peo-
pie in the world even dreamed that Ger
many would run roughshod over Belgium,
Holland, and France in record time, or that
49, this defeated World War ration4e~would
have England fighting desperately with
her back to the wall and with only slim
outlook for ultimate victory.
With rather universal demands for &C.
onomy in federal expenditures in this
country, the obvious prediction last jan
uary was drastic reduction in appropria-
tons with definite view of balanced
budget
But look what has happened! Congress
has already agreed to spend over five bill
lion dollars for national defense and is now
on the verge of allotting another sum of an
equal amount for war preparation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt startled the nation by ap-
pointed two prominent Republicans to his
cabinet on the eve of the COP national
convention and then the Republicans turn
ed around and nominated former Demo-
crat for their presidential nominee.
Now another precedent of all preced-
ents in this nation is about to be broken.
According to all indications, the Democrat
ic convention tonight will draft Roosevelt
for a third term and he will accept!
Never before has a man been nominal
ted by any political party in the United
States for election to serve third success
sive term as President. The nearest ap-
APPROACH to it was the nomination of Theo-
dore Roosevelt by the Progressive party in
1912. His election would have meant
third term for him, but not in succession.
Even though he had been silent, we
were confident that Mr.. Roosevelt, having
all to lose and relatively nothing to gain,
would decline a third term bid. The selec-
ton of the colorful and brilliant Wendell
Willkie as the Republican standard-bearer
and the grave international crisis existing
at this hour, however, changed the appear
ance of the picture great deal.
It is widely believed that only Roose-
welt can defeat Willkie and some doubt if
he can do that. At any rate, it is apparent
he will be the first man in America to get
successive third term call for President
and that is another phenomenal activity of
1910.
What other surprises are in store for us
before January 1, 1911? Frankly, we do
not know But we hope above everything
else that we will not be engaged in war.

We heard the other day about
a recently married Ashe county
couple eating dinner when the
groom asked his bride what was
the matter with the pie crust as
it did not half cover the pie.
She replied, II asked your mo-
Their how to make pie to suit you
and she said to make the crust
very short"
This is probably the way this
column will be this week not be-
cause of such advice, but be-
cause of visitors, July sales and
other events which all consume
the important element of time.
Speaking of sales, Belk's is now
holding an event featuring val
ues that will make any customer
cease to be a pessimist. Here you
will find socks, shirts, sheets,
shoes, skirts, slips, suits, Stacks,
scrin, satin and straws. Try say
ing that fast and see how it
sounds. Even manager Shoema-
ker, whose initials are S. S. S.
would probably have a hard time
making speed saying such SINH
lar sounds!
Little Fish!
Tommy Tucker was one of the
successfully small people who
caught fishes, but Colleen Little,
young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn Little who has been Wis
iting her grandfather Little on
New River, had luck opposite her
name. She caught some really big
fish. One was Is and the other
>16 inches in length.
Radishes and Chickens!
Usually there is no connection
between the two except when a
scratching hen gets in the gar
den. But this week w. H. Stanley
who is building a new home at
Warrensville, brought in a ra-
dish which very definitely re-
sembles a dressed chicken. Some
one suggested it also resembled
a long-necked sea gull. All of
which proves the imagination
can take flight as we'll as bird.
A Pleasant Pheasant!
With the exception of quail,
pheasants are among the most
popular game birds in this sec
ton. How many have ever
viewed one at close range?
Visit T. C. Miller's store and
you will see a we'll mounted
specimen of the pheasant hen
mounted on wood. The size and
the coloring of this bird will
probably surprise you if you are
not familiar with it.
Roses In Bloom
This week we offer orchids to
Miss Ruby Roark of Parker, who
brings in a rose of two colors,
red and white. Perhaps this is
natures way of demonstrating
her patriotism.
Those who have not recently
seen the Speer's yard at Beaver
Creek have missed a beautiful
sight. Hundreds of pink and
white rhododendron have COW
cred this shady hillside with a
mass of blooms during the past
week.
A Tale OF A Turtle
Last weeks story of the turtle
brought forth another this week,
slightly different, that of dry
land terrapin found on June 5 by
Clint Owens, of Hemlock.
On each side of the back of the
terrapin can plainly be seen the
letters GEEF. This member of
the turtle family has been en-
lowed by nature with several
other unique designs on it's back.
When examined through a mag
nifying glass they resemble a
mans hand, a baby, a camels
head and several other objects.
Mr.. Owens brought the terra
pin here on Tuesday when
number came in to see it.

not only in England, but likewise in

of some other commodities, to the
great improvement of his Majesties

fruit called a Persimon mentioned as
most especially belonging to Mary
Land: and among Birds, one named
the Mock-Bird, from it's imitation of
all other Singing-birds, which differ
ing among themselves in the mixture
of their colours; that which is black
and yellow is called the Baltemore-
bird, from the colours of his Lord
ships Coat of Arms, which are Or
and Sable, excelling in beauty all the
other sorts.
The same is to be said Of the COM
plexions, customes, dispositions, gov
eminent, etc. of the natives of this
Province as of those of Virginia and
other adjacent parts; that is in brief,
that they are somewhat tawny, their
hair long, black and uncurled. but cut
into fantastical forms; more ingen-
ious and docile than Industrious; each
Town a distinct Nation, and govern'd
by it's several Weroance or King, only
the Sasquahanocks are Republick.
AS the Province is now inhabited
by the English, it is divided into ten
Districts or Counties, five on the East
ern shore of the Bay Of Chesapeake,
namely Dorchester, Somerset, Kent,
Caecil land Talbot; and five on the
West side of tn Bay, st. Maries,
(where the Provincial Court, or chief
Court of Judicature consisting Of Gov
ernor and Counsiliar Judges, is held
every quarter Of year, Anne Arun-
del, Baltemore, Charles & Calvert.
The chief Rivers of this Countrey
are Patowmec, Patuxent, Ann Arundel
alias Severn, Sasqueshanough, Chop
tank, Nantecoke, Pocomoke, besides
others of less note: of those mention
ed, the first four on the West side, the
other three to the East fall into Ches-
apeack Bay, which is navigable for
200 miles, and which between two
Capes, Cape Charles to the North, and
Cape Henry to the South, being seven
or eight leagues distant, receives all
the ships that come for Virginia or
Maryland and passeth Northernly
through the midst Of Maryland. On
the Eastern shore Of this Bay are div
ers convenient Harbours, Creeks and
Islands; and Northward thereof is the
entrance of Delaware Bay.

Those who attended the concert CIV

away very much thrilled. If not,
then they have no cause for living, for
life is empty to anyone who was dis

Along with this he was obliging with
encores. 49,. -
Applause greeted the artist every
time he appeared on the stage. And
at the conclusion the applause was so
pronounced that he returned and sang.

seat of Trade is fixt, is st. Maries,
situate in st. Maries County, on the
Johns, the Governor Mr.. Charles Cal
vert used to reside; but he hath now
a very pleasant and commodious hab-
itation at a place called Mattapany
upon the River Patuxent, about eight
miles from st. Maries; here is also
another fair house where the Chanc-
ellor usually resides.
There were also some years, since
in all the rest of the Counties the
foundations of Towns laid, which no
doubt by this time are very near the
River Patuxent; 1, Calverton in Bat

Point Patience; 8, Horington upon the

AS for the present Government of
Maryland by the English, the Lord
Proprietor in the first place is invest
ed, as hath been mentioned, with an
absolute power and dominion; by
whose sole command all things re-
lating to Peace or War are ordered;
and in whose name issue forth all
publick Instruments, Patents, War
rents, Writs, etc. In the enacting of
Laws he hath the consent and advice
of the general Assembly, which is
made up of two Estates; the first con-
sisting of his Lordships Privy Council,
(of which the Chancellor and Sec
rotary alwaies are) and such Lords Of

respective Province for which each
Deputy is chosen.
The names of the present Governor,

appointed. Ex-Governor Nice and
Gene Tunney were in the audience.
