C. T. TJ.It is generally supposed from the reports given in the public press that the Union at Elkton, as led by Mrs L. M. Haines, unanimously favor the non partisan movement. The visit of the W. C- T. U’s. there at the County Executive meeting revealed to them the fact that there bad been but little dissatisfaction among die membership, previous to their withdrawal but out of respect to their leader, who would otherwise resign, they consented to join the non-partisan movement, supposing they could do just as good work there as any where else, many of them not realizing fully how it would sever their connection with the County and State work, and leave them all alone as the only organization of the kind in the State of Maryland.There were a few, however, who opposed such an action, and did not go over with them. Others after hearing both sides of the question oxpressed many regrets that such an action was taken.They had heard a great deal about Mrs. Willard and her advanced ideas which they thought they could not indorse, but they had heard very little concerning Mrs. Foster, the leader of the so called non partisan movement, and her political ambitions. From the fact that democrats and third party women were drawn into the movement is an evidence that they had heard, to a great extent, only one side of the question.The discussion of the meeting reNottingham Pres.

I do not raise this question for sake of argument, but the experience of our best farmers will carry me out in my opinion, and my observations in purchasing the hay from the farmers affords me an excellent oppor.unity of judging in this matter At same time, if it were possible to cut the whole crop just at the moment it was in the “dough state” then your suggestion would be prac ticable, but as this is not the case, in order to secure the best condition of the entire crop it is necessary to commence the work at an earlier stage I have urged this matter of ear y cutting, and those who have adopted the plan market the best hay and receive the most money for it.I think you cannot condemn in too strong terras the practice of putting wheat in open shocks as it spoiled a very large portion of last year’s crop- Truly,A. L. Duvckinck.The following is the “hint” referred to:‘•Farmers arc mowing their grassPort Deposit and its “Speak Easies.”Port Deposit lias long been the excuse for the license advocate to point to and the shame of temperance people. The moral, decent people of the county liane their heads in shame when they hear the whiskey advocates speak with pride of Ihe numerous but half concealed illicit ruin holes that infest Port Deposit. If this is true, and the publicity given the charge has all the moral bad effect of truth on the side of the liquor trade, and militates against the advance of prohibitory law.Of what use are three churches in the small town of Port Deposit if they cannot infuse enough moral and religious leaven into that community to drive out and breakup a few low principled law breakers and their rum holes. The rooting out and driving out of every whiskey vender and hidden saloon in the town, and thus establishing the majesty of (lie law befote the eyes of the rising generation, would do more for their future welfare than the purposeless existence of a dozen industrial schools and all the churches of the town. What influence on the public mind and morals has an array of educational and religious institutions.Jif the public see a crop of rotten fruit covering the ground around them? The steadily repeated story of Port Deposit’s speak easies lias been the greatest obstacle in the path of temperance work and the complete vindication of the prohibition law in Cecil, that we have had to contend with. It was the story of Pori’s shame that enabled the saloon to induce the legislature to give it another chance to attempt to beat hack the prohibition sentiment and establish its reign of legalized crime again in the county. The crime, burning slnme and disgrace which attach to the reports that the town is a safe rendezvouse for illicit rum sellers, disgrace the citizens who pose as the moral, religious and intelligent class of Port Deposit. If their professions in these respects were sincere they would uphold the majesty of the Tiiey could easily root out every denDlt;Do you want a: or Evaporated Fr Spices ? Do you Do you want any If so call onMMUST (in the place if their temperance professions were real, if their hearts were in the work. It would be far better to appropriate a few thousand dollars to cleaning the town of these vicious sink holes before commencing the grand purpose of philanthropy by giving to the poor a free industrial school. Those whiskey dens will ruin and brutalize more hoys and girls than the school would ennoble and educate. The moral, religious and temperance professing people of Port Deposit, if their hearts were sincere as their professions are loud, could and would shut up, root out every rum hole and imprison every illicit riimseller in Port Deposit in three months. They and they alone stand guilty of the shame of this tiling.When a great robbery, murder or othei crime in the capital crimes catalogue is committed, detectives are employed to unearth the guilty parties and biing them to justice. Then why not employ the same means to bring parlies equally guilty, whose defiance oflaw shame, as well as injure the property, the good name of the people of Port Deposit? One thousand dollars and a couple of Pinkerton’s detectives would lodge every speak-easy keeper in the house of correction and break up the whole business in a short time.Color a AId., Mr. Editor :—One not the least, or le programs of the seaso dcred on Sunday next at Alt.
