A Drive to Annapolis
BY WALTER w. HUBBARD

and st. Johns College are
major points of interest.
The route suggested by the
accompanying map is U. S.
so, better known as the De-
tense highway. In passing
through Bladensburg we are
reminded that it was here, in
the summer of 1914, that a
British force under Admiral
Cockburn and Gen. Ross
5000 men in all-cleared the
way for invasion of Washing
ton by defeating Gen. Winder
and his 1000 Americans.
At the juncture with U. S.
301, near the Patuxent River,
we may bear left and go
through Millersville, Benfield.
Saunders and Glen Burnie,
then swing right on U. s. 2
to Annapolis; or we may stick
to so and 60 directly into the
capital. Those with time to
spare and an inclination to
meander may prefer the
longer way round.
Leaving Annapolis, we may
wish to visit one of the many
beaches in the vicinity. Boat
ing, grabbing, fishing and
swimming may be enjoyed
along the Chesapeake Bay
and at the mouths of the
Magothy, Severn, South and
West Rivers. From Greenock,
Route 4 will bring us quickly
and pleasantly back to Wash
ington via Upper Marlboro,
seat of Prince Georges
County.
Marlboro, incidentally, con-
tains some beautiful old
homes and other buildings
worth more than a casual
glance. There is, for example,
Trinity Church, founded in
1808-1810 by Thomas John
Clagett, first Protestant Epis-
copal Bishop consecrated in
America.

4 a and rewarding a drive
as one can take from WASH
ington at this time Of the
year Is to Annapolis, Nd,
either directly or by way of
Glen Burnie on the north
or Greenock on the SOUTH.
The choice of routes will de-
pend, of course, on the pur-
pose Of the trip and the time
available.
Quaint" is the adjective
most frequently applied to
the Maryland capital, and it
is certainly descriptive of the
quality which makes this city
of $4,000 persons such an in
teresting place to visit and
revisit.
Capt. John Smith, founder
Of Jamestown, Va, visited the
site in 1908. When the pres
ent name was adopted, in
1895, the town was the cap
ital of a colony known as
Providence, which was found
ed by a group of Puritan fam
lilies from Virginia. The new
name was a tribute to Prin-
cess (later Queen Anne.
Annapolis had a tea party"
Of its own in 1774, when q
band of local patriots forced
the owner of the British brig
Peggy Stewart to burn his
ship in the harbor. A large
cargo of tea was destroyed
with the boat.
It was to Annapolis that
Gen. George Washington went
in 1888 to surrender to Con-
gress his commission as COM
mander in chief of the Con-
tinental Army. It was there,
too, that the peace treaty
with the British was signed
in 1874.

Helping the Rhymes in their
experiment has been only a
colored girl, Dollie Ellis, who
lives on the Rhyme farm and
helps feed and water the fowl.
The Rhymes grow the turkeys (and
the l40 capons and $50 fryers each
month";, take the orders for them,
and deliver them dressed on the
specified dates.
out-of-stote Soles
Many of the turkeys have gone
out of state, Mrs. Rhyme informs,
despite their prices being about
the same as elsewhere. Orders
have been taken also from Lex
ington, Durant, Winona, Walden,
Starkville, Columbus, and the
Delta, and "some were booked
as early as summer, in Kosciu-
sko," Mrs. Rhyme said.
In explaining their methods of
raising, she said they followed
closely the Purina instruction
book, and used it throughout.
According to Mrs. Rhyme, she
is taking orders for Christmas
chickens, as well as for turkeys,
and accepted orders for Thanks
giving service through Tuesday.

Two Negro Children
Die Amid Flames

Clasped in each others arms
two small colored children were
burned to death at their home
in Durant Friday night while
their parents were away at a

mined origin, was discovered a.
bout 8:45 p. m, according to Clay
Gum, fire chief, and although
under control by the volunteer
fire dep artment within 80
minutes, the Robert Winters
home and another adjoining wood
dwelling house had been too far
gone before an alarm was sound
ed, and were burned to the
ground
The children who met death
by burning were: Rosie Winters,
6, and Bert Winters. 4, who ac-
cording to Mr.. Gum were charred

had been left at home while

ployee, and his wife went to a

dwellings burned quickly, but be-
fore both had gone down, a crowd
of spectators had flocked to the
scene.
