Spring on North Potomac Street
"for the public use and enjoyment"
The spring was approached by a
stone arch, being located in the rear
of Blew and Lucas Drug Store. The
water at that time was considered to
be especially pure and good and was
used by large number of people
for drinking. However the owner
would not sell for $500.
This will also left $1,000 to the
aforementioned Hagerstown Charity
School. This school was established
in 1915 by Miss Isabella Neill. The
first officers were: President, Susan
Hughes; treasurer, Isabella Neil;
+ secretary, Rebecca Fitzhugh; man
ayers, Betsy Harry, M. Humrichouse,
Maria Sprigg, Jane Milligan, Eliza
Schnebly and Jane Herbert. In 1918
it was incorporated, with Rev. J. G..
Clay, Jotn Kennedy and Alex Neil
as trustees. 1t received a number of
small legacies, the interest of which
supported it. In 1912 Martin Ham
mond left it $1700, which was used
for erecting the building at the cor
ner of East Washington and Locust
Streets. 1t was formerly the custom
to preach a sermon in each church
in the town in behalf of the charity.
But with public schools free to all,
the charity school is Gas reported in

Horse And Buggy Days
BY IDA 30 MARTIN

In 1859 the State Legislature en-
acted the Coudy School Law, which
abolished the payment of one dollar
as a quarterly tuition fee, and made
absolutely free schools for the first
time. This caused an additional tax
alton of seven cents on the hundred
dollars. Added to the County tax
there was a State taxation of ten
cents, making in 1860 total taxation
of fifty-three cents on a hundred
dollars. The highest rate for many
years and one which caused deep
complaint. In January 1861, it was
discovered that the amount levied
to make good the deficiency caused
by the remission of the tuition fee
was insufficient and chat there was
an annual deficit of $4,000 and SO a
rapidly accommodating debt The
schools were closed on the first of
March 1861, and the Legislature
that year, in view of the heavy tax
alton caused by the war, restored
the "pay feature" of the school law.
At that time, in 1861. there were a
hundred and twenty-three schools
in the County kept open nine
months. The average salary of the
teachers was $219 % mol not per
month: $219 per year, The Hagers-
town Charity School, an institution
begun in 1915 which has done a lot
of good, received substantial help at
this time.

In 1854 the assessed valuation of
all of Washington County was $14,
100000 Of this, $4,000 was for
slaves. An indication of the value
of real estate may be found in the
sale, at that time, of the property on
the northwest corner of Washington
and Jonathan Streets by Daniel G.
Mumma to Oliver Stonebraker for
$4,000. (This building was standing
at the time of the source of this in
formation, 1906,) BY comparison, a

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-PHThe
bond market conferred it's atten-
ton today upon the Treasury de-
partment's announcement of the
refunding in the next few weeks
of more than Sc, 500, 900, 600 OF the
national debt.
Corporate issues moved narrow

tied to 81, 200, 900 against $3,23O, GOO
last Friday.
The better tone Tor long : term
government obligations was seen
by a spokesman for a big bond
house as rejecting some disap-
pointment over the treasury's new
rates on short-term notes.
Secretary Snyder's announce
ment of one new offering, which
will save the treasury $4,000, 600
in interest payments, set a rate OF
one per cent on IL IL months

and 1 ID per cent issues amount
ing 70 81, 394, 600, 900 and falling due
Sept. Is.
Some banks had expected a rate
slightly better than one per cent,
the spokesman said, although the
new rate will represent an in
crease over the 7-8 Of M per cent
which has been paid on one-year
money for some time.
Another change involving short
term interest rates occurred in
the shift from 12-month to TO-
month maturity placed on certifi-
Gates bearing 10 of one per cent,
The new certificates will be ex-
changed Cor an issue Of $2,341, O0O,-
600 which expires Sept. l and

Institutional investors also noted
the coming offerings Of an undis-
closed amount Of az per cent
bonds that will be sold only to saw
ings banks, insurance companies
and the like and will not be traded
in public markets. Limiting the
sale will prevent the bonds from

effect.

GRAIN
CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Aug. 10. - Up - Al
wheat and oats contracts advanc
ed to new seasonal peaks in an
other strong grain mrket On thu
board of trade today. Corn made
sharp gains, but only the July de
livery established a new seasona
high.
Continued dry, hot weather ir
the midwest served to create buy
ing in both corn and oats. A boost
in the government purchase price
for cash grain supported wheat
In all pits the chief feature was
lack Of selling pressure rather
than aggressive buying.
Wheat closed 2 1928 IL higher,
September $2.41 14-1-2, corn was
5 and 6 Genes higher, September
ST. 9-$2.98 10, and oats were
"a 2 1-S higher, September $1.06
1898.
Cash interests and commission
houses bought wheat. The CCC at
Kansas City announced it would
pay 1921 a bushel Cor cash grain,
representing an advance Of 2 cents
following a 8 cent price hike Sat
urday. From noon Thursday to
noon Saturday an agency bought
l, TAG, $50 bushels.
Visible supply Of wheat contin-
ued to increase at a substantial
rate. The board announced it to-
tailed 1T, 428, 900 bushels against
70, 979, 900 bushels a year ago.
While the government has shown
a more aggressive attitude in its
wheat buying program it con-
tinues to remain out Of the flour
market.
Rains which had been expected
over the weekend failed to ma
terialize, a fact which let the
corn pit practically bare of offer
ings at the opening. All deliveries
except December opened eight
cents higher, the daily limit. Prof
it-taking soon caused a moderate
retreat.
Outlook for the next few days
was not encouraging al Ear as the
corn crop was concerned. A few
widely scattered showers were
predicted in Iowa, but this type
of moisture is not considered suf-
ficient to check crop deterioration.
A government crop report is due
after the market closes Thursday.
Most guesses are that it will show
a corn crop off around $500, 000,-
600 bushels, which would be lower
than the ten year (1936-45) aver
age Of 1889, 102, 900 bushels. 1t
would compare with q crop Of g.
287, 927, 900 bushels last year.
