league moguls think twice before
they take up the old chant that
night play can ruin major league

owned back around 100 years ago by
John Welty and subsequently By
Johr W. Cable, who served as
member of the Board of County
Commissioners of Washington coun-
ty. Land records at the Court House
show that in 1901 deed was given
to Mr.. Welty for what nc doubt was,
at least, part of this tract of land.
Tradition has it that, at a very early
date, this farm, with quite lot of
land in the surrounding neighbor-
hood, was owned by Frenchman.
He was quite wealthy and man
widely known When he died there
was an Unusually large funeral AS
was the custom in early days, every.
body was invited back to the house
when the funeral was over In this
case there was quite a large feast
This custom of early days is not hard
to understand People came by
horse and buggy from quite dis
lance and had long way to go be-
fore they could arrive home. Many
Others walked.
On this farm was a large dis
tillery, operated by Mr.. Welty and
subsequently by Mr. Cable. 1t was
built hundred or more years ago.
When Mr. Cable decided to close it
down, sometime prior to 1914, the
distillery had on hand approximate
ly 600 barrels of liquor. A gallon of
good liquor in those days could be
bought for about So. The liquor
made at this distillery was branded
Mountain Dew" The buildings
connected with the distillery are
still standing.
Storekeepers and gaugers, en-
ployed by the government, regular
ly went to this distillery. A story
is told to us of an experience of one
of them. He lived at the Bryan
farm, at BRIDGEPORT, and drove to
the distillery with a horse and sull1y.
One day, while returning home, and
attempting TO cross small stream
at Garver's mill, in the vicinity, the
horse refused to go over. Well, he
was anxious to get home so he re-
sorted to a little strategy Taking
a handkerchief he tied it over the
horses eyes so he could not see the
stream of water before him. So
over they went all OK.
He had another experience along
with the performances of these same
duties, which had rather ludicrous
side, even if attended with more or
less peril One day he was driving
with this same horse and sulky in
the vicinity of Rose Hill Cemetery,
on South Potomac street. 1t was
when trolley cars were new. AS
trolley car came along his horse
seemed to decide that that trolley
car was not going to beat him. So
he lit out at full speed up South
Potomac street, through the Square
and up North Potomac street, de-
flying all speed and traffic rules. At
the corner where the "Y'' is now
located, he managed to guide the
horse enough to one side and up
against telephone pole. Here the
race ended, resulting only in a
broken spoke in the sulky.
On this farm, quite some years
ago, Edward Oswald, clerk of the
court, recalls that several wild
geese were kept. There is large,
beautiful spring of water on the
premises.
