the persons present at this meeting
you are solicited once more to per-
init us to cast our suffrages upon
you as the person in our opinion
most proper to represent this dist
riot in Congress. We beg leave to
return you our thanks for your past
services in that station and to mani
fest our appreciation of your con-
duct as our representatives We
beg leave more particularly at this
time to thank you for your late con-
slant, unremitted, prudent, and
spirited exertions in endeavoring to
suppress those unhappy tumults
that have disturbed the peace and
threatened the safety of the well
disposed citizens amongst us. The
manner in which certain reports
have been secretly and Industrious
ly circulated and the inexcusable
misrepresentation that have been
made, excite our highest indignation,
and we feel ourselves injured in the
attempts made to calumniate you.
But whilst we assure you of our
determination to support you at the
ensuing election, we hope and con-
fidently trust that every honorable
and manly exertion will be made on
your part to crafty the wishes and
effectuate the endeavors of your
friends.

While looking through Herbert c.
Bells History of Petersburg District,
l ran across some interesting facts
about a man who was highly re-
spected in our community, whom l
mentioned briefly in my column
last week. This was Col Thomas
Sprigg, who with others, went
through the unruly mob in Hagers-
town, trying to disuade them from
doing violence to certain officials
whom they disliked
Colonel Sprigg lived and served
the people of his day in the period
just after the Revolutionary War.
He was the Thomas Sprigg of Long
Meadows, one of the County's most
interesting old houses, that was part
of the estate first owned by Thomas
Cressap, and today owned by J.
Forney Young. This house is along
the Marsh Pike, between Reid and
Paramount.
The Spriggs came from a distin-
guished old family of Northampton
shire, England, a member of which
was the premier of Cape Colony, Sir
w. Gordon Sprigg. From this fam
lily also came one of Maryland's
governors, Samuel Sprigg, Governor
from 1919 to 1922.
Colonel Sprigg was the first Reg
lister of Wills in Washington County
and held that office from 1776 to 1870.
He was a member of the County
Committee of Observation in 1777.
In 1888 he was elected to the House
of Delegates, and in the same year
he was member of the Maryland
Convention which ratified the Con-
stftution of the United States. He
also served~as a member of the levy
court and as justice of the peace.

Case OF The Missing House

James c. Peterson, 38-year-old
Detroit war veteran and factory
crane operator, had been building
his dream home" himself and had
completed the entire framework,
three walls and half the rough
flooring before going on brief va
cation several weeks ago. Upon re-
turning to his labors, he discovered,
to his amazement and chagrin, that
the partly-built house had vanished,
not splinter remaining. Police
are conducting an investigation.

1 was glad to receive the following
letter from Rev. J.B. Reed, Jr, Pas
tor of Lohr's Memorial Evangelical
United Brethren Church, Hanover,
Pa.
Dear Mrs. Martin:
l enjoy your articles and l was
thinking, while reading your Whis-
key Rebellion article, that often good
comes out of evil When George
Washington took troops to Pitts
burg to put down the rebellion there,
he found the roads so bad that he
looked for better way, and the
result was the c. & o. Canal. But
they never got farther than Cum
berland, Md It would make fine
article some time.
Sincerely yours,

H-Inch Gun Set Up
By Navy in Virginia
To Test Bombs, Fuzes

A 24-inch test gun, formerly
mounted as a 16-inch rife on the
hattleship South Dakota, has been
placed in operation at the Naval
Proving Ground at Dahlgren, Va.
to test bombs and guided missile
warheads and their fuzes, the Navy
announced today.
J The Navy said it was the largest
known gun Of its type.
Bombs and warheads as heavy as
1000 pounds can be hurled by the
gun against arn1or plate and con-
crete targets. The effect of the
impacts on the missiles and their
components then are analyzed for
all the armed forces.
The gun is basically the sawed.
off and otherwise altered barrel
of a standard 16-inch gun, which
had been damaged in combat dur
ing World War II. Originally 1t
was mounted in the No. l turret
of the South Dakota, which received
o direct hit from Japanese 500
pound bomb during the battle OF
Santa Cruz in 1912.
After the war. the Navy Bureau
of Ordnance salvaged the gun and
its modification was financed by
the Army Ordnance Department
The work was done at the Arrny's
srsenel at Watervliet, N. Y.
All three services may use the
gun for test firing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (NANA0.-
The increasingly mild climate prev

six centuries Is attributed by Danish
Scientist X. G. Meldahl not to
greater solar radiation but, quite
simply, to more extensive use of
fuel for home heating and industrial
purposes.
He is quoted by the Stockholm
newspaper Svenska 'Dagbladet as
saying that the h1ain factor is the
greater quantity of carbon dioxide in
our atmosphere as a direct result Of
this fuel-burning coal age" Carbon
