LET'S CONTINUE THE ENTHUSIASM

LET'S CONTINUE THE ENTHUSIASM
Y 3 BEYOND THE highest expectations, Saturdays
celebration in honor of Governor Morris F. de Castro was one
OF the largest, most coorful and high-spnited seen in this Is
land. Everything went as planned But perhaps most notice
able was the attitude of our people, who seemed to have
caught the spirit of the occasion, and that at last the way was
open for a native of ability and character to ascend to the
highest position of honor and responsibility in his homeland
The celebration was therefore more than caught the eye, and
IN that Governor de Castro became a symbol.
AS EXPECTED AND announced, the day was declared
a holiday, and everybody,-from every corner Of the Island
turned up, and showed his ent~husiasmBoh towns were Wis
tied, and addresses made, with local leaders taking part. The
committee headed by the Honorable S. Christian Chase did
a good job for which full credits due. But as in all cases there
were those who worked behind the scenes, who were up ear
" and late and who did the little things without which sue
cess could not have been assured. To these also 90 credit for
a job well done.
THE TUMULT N the shouting has died down, and
the Island returns to nornalcy, and life goes on its merry way
Ut we can call it merry in this day and time. But a greater
problemremains, This enthusiasm should now transform itself
into a quiet, understanding cooperation without which the
new Governor cannot operate successfully. Hes facing many
problems, financial and political, and while he has had the
necessary experience and knows every angle Of the local scene,
W WlliOue the SuPPOIl OF al the people MS efforts VIII be
fruitless. It is for the necessary cooperation that we plead
now that the celebrations are over.
GOVERNOR DE CASTRO has already announced that
he will fight for the return Of the Internal Revenue taxes. That
is 4 fine move, and we hope that he will not only start I'M
medately but that his efforts will bear fruit With these funds
we could build roads, much needed public buildings such as
hospitals and schools, balance our budget and start new pro-
iects which will give employment to many The fight for these
taxes is a tremendous task, and one in which much effort has
been poured, all Of which means that redoubled efforts must
now be made, and again the fullest support must come.

indignant owners, sis insulting.
Henry Lillienfeld, chairman of
the meeting, said that many of the
property owners had reported that
they had received offers ranging
from one to two thousand dollars
per acre for choice home sites
along the river. Howard E. Met
calfe said that the methods and
tactics employed by WSSC or its
real estate representatives are de-
plorable and unworthy of any or
ganization that is supposed to serve
the public interest.
One of the owners charged that
WSSC has bungled the whole prof.
ect from the very beginning be-
cause of inefficiency of poor plan
ming. The latest bungle by WSSC
according to Mr.. Metcalfe, proved
to be on June Is, which time they
let lapse some half dozen or more
options on property along the river
on which the commission has placed
ten dollar deposits. Now the own
ers are free to do as they please
with their property, and WSSC
will have to start all over again.
Nearly year ago, WSSC had to
withdraw its application for per-
NIT to construct the Laurel dam
because of the storm of protests
by property owners, who showed
that the commission had exceeded
its authority in asking permission
to relocate roads and bridges.

his early resignation, accusing him
of temerity, or if not that, of be-
ing a Tory. But Benjamin Galloway
was far from this.
Mr.. Galloway became connected
with another family well known in
local history when he married Miss
Henrietta Chew. At that time he
came to this county, to reside on the
great estate of the Chews, tract of
fifteen hundred acres, a little be-
low Williamsport in Washington
County. He was still living there at
the close of that century.
At the turn of the century, in 1900,
he moved into Hagerstown, into a
house formerly occupied by Ma
thaniel Rochester In 1902 he again
received the appointment to an Of
fee, and again, strangely, shortly
resigned, this office being Associate
Justice for Washington County.
We are told that all through his
life he was candidate for the Leg
islature and several times for cleo
tor for the Senate. At length, in
1922, he was elected and served his
term, performing his duties diligent-
1y.
But his most outstanding activ-
tiles were along the lines of his
newspaper writing. He was a con-
slant agitator, giving blow after
blow where many were needed. One
subject he was especially critical of
was the methods used by the banks
in his day. He accused them of be-
ing little more than legalized rob-
bers, and at times called and adj
dressed public meetings on this sub
ject
Then there is one other incident
in his life that is of interest to us,
not relating to the papers. While a
young man he had become well ac-
quainted with the young son of Mrs.
Washington, John Park Gusts. So
it was that in later days, in fact just
about the time of the breaking out
of hostilities between this Country
and England, he was invited to a
Christmas vacation from school, to
be spent at Mount Vernon, at the
invitation of George Washington
himself The following was told by
him on numerous occasions in Ha-
gerstown, and was printed at great
length in Hagerstown "Torch Light

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

In connection with the newspa-
pers of the older days, we find that
there was a gentleman who liked
nothing better than to write, and
to write caustically and critically.
for the papers. It is said that he
went around with newspapers and
manuscripts lined up in every peck
ct of a blue coat; that he stopped
everyone to tell them of what he
thought and wrote, or to comment
on someone else's article, and that
acquaintance could scarcely get by
him on the street. But in spite OF
his SO called eccentricities, he was
a gentleman, with courteous de-
meanor, an elegant manner, wore
long white hair, and was liked by
most people.
This gentleman was Mr.. Benjamin
Galloway, who for many years lived
in a house on the corner of Wash
ington and Jonathan Streets, and
who has been mentioned briefly in
these columns.
Because of his fondness for talk
ing, and his perpetual articles in
the newspapers, he was, for forty
years, one of the best known men
of the County. He was born in Eng
land in 1852 and received legal
education at Eton and at the Tenn
pie in London. But from the first
of the hostilities and quarrels be-
tween England and the Colonies, he
sided with the people on this side OF
the Atlantic. So, when it looked
like there would be open conflict
he decided to cast his lot entirely
with the new world. Thus he came
to this Country and settled in the
eastern part of Maryland.
From the first, here, he pushed for
the American enterprise with mark
ed zeal, taking active part by serv-
ing in the first State legislature
Because of his faithful support Of
the PATRIOTS, he was assigned, al
though only twenty-five, as Attor-
ney General in the new government
And it was here that he made g
mistake that was to haunt him for 6
long time-because of the persua-
sion of his father, he resigned from
the new office after only month Of
service For many years thereaf-
ter, he sought office afteroffice, but
was defeated, largely by his op-
ponents successfully pointing tc

and burned the ship. We are not
told just what the smuggler was
hauling, but is is likely that it was
something in defiance of the British
tax laws over the Colonists.
When Galloway read the account,
the, visiting Captain Foye quickly
asked to see the paper He read
the article in silence, and then de-
clared with vehemence that blood
must be drawn from the Yankees
before they could be taught to con-
duct themselves as obedient sub
jects ought to do" He then stoutly
declared that he himself would en-
gage to put down all opposition to
the revenue acts recently passed by
the Parliament, and moreover that
he would march at the head of five
thousand troops from Boston to
Charlestown, South Carolina.
While this speech was being made,
Washington was at first reading;
but as the meaning of the words be-
came clear, Washington put down
the paper and at the close, gazed at
the captain and observed that no
doubt the captain could and would
march, at the head of the five thou
sand troops, but that he would be
obliged to inform his host whether
as a friend or adversary. Then
Washington concluded with the
statement that if he intended to
come as an adversary, that he,
Washington, would engage to give

him a handsome check with the
Virginia Rifiemen alone" With this
announcement, Washington drove
home his true intentions with a
pound of his fist on the table that
jumped all the tableware into the
air.
The captain Immediately turned
his attentions to the other direction
and began to talk with Mrs. Wash
ington. No doubt, in later days, he
recalled his conversation many
times, and might well have taken
warning that the people of the
Colonies did not mean to sit quietly
and allow themselves to be tram
pied upon.

1t happened that two gentlemen,
Lord Sterling and Captain Foye,
who was secretary to the Governor
of Virginia, remember that this was
before the Independence were on
their way from Williamsburg to
New York when they were caught
in tempestous sleet storm And it
seems too that they were on good
terms with George Washington, who
of course had not yet achieved his
great fame and accomplishments.
So they stopped at Mount Vernon
and stayed for three or four days,
at the same time that Hagerstown's
Benjamin Galloway was there, al
so as a guest.
At the table one evening, Wash
ington's famous servant, Billy, en-
tered with the mail and papers.
Washington tossed them all to the
center of the table and announced
that each was to read and announce
anything ef interest to the whole
party.

sharpen his tools and make things
orderly. One dad says that what
he wants is ''peace!" How about

also hold teen lipstick. comb. rib
bons, bobby pins, kerchiefs, sun

one is like seeing a magician pro-
ducing a whole show from a small
coin.

might be worth trying-Teen
critics say it's ultra amusing.
PRETTY PICTURE - Starched
net for Teen hats is making our
demoiselles as pretty as June
gardens this early summer. The
net, usually in white, can be
made to stand out in back of
