Death of Senator Rayner.
Senator Isidor Rayner, of Maryland,
one of the leading democratic members
of the United States Senate, and a man
whose nime was offered to the Balti?
more convention by William J. Bryan as
a suitable candidate for the presidential
nomination, died in Washington Monday
at the end of a long illness dating from
the efforts made in the joint politic!
debate with Bonrke Cockran at Balti
tnore late in September. For over five
years Senator Rayner had been a suf?
fered from neuritis, the attacks often
mating his work in the Senate arduous
and painful.
Senator Rayner was regarded ss one
of the ablest constitutions! lawyers in
the upper chamber. Mr. Rayner was
a native of Baltimore, and was sixty
two years of age. Before becoming a
senator he served three terms in con?
gress. Senator Raybsr's term was not
to expire until January, 1917.
Fanerai services for Senator Rayner
we-e held yesterdsy afternoon at the
Re; oer home in Washington. The ser?
vie- s were conducted by U. G. B. Pierce,
chaplain of the senate and President
Tait's pastor, assisted by Rev. Charles
Wood, of the Church of the Covenant,
in Washington. The interment took
place in Rock Creek Cemetery, in Wash?
ington.
President Taft and the members of
bis cabinet and committees from both
bot.ses of congress, as wall as many
Mt-ylanders prominent in official life,
we'a present.
The death of Senator Raynsr of Mary?
land, is expected to take the control of
th" United States Senate in the new
( 'o'igrcss from ihe democrats and dis
i rt ange the plans of the leaders of that
party after March <L Governor Golds
borough of Maryland will appoint a
rspiblican, who will hold office at least
until ths Maryland Legislature meets in
Jnttosff, 191?. With Senator Rsryner's
?ote the democratic leaders counted on
muetering 49, or one more than a ma?
jority of the total membership of 96.
In any event. 48 votea, with the vote of
the Vice-President in case of a tie, was
look?*! apon as a sufficient strength to
secure strength enough to insure control.
While the dem?crata still have an ap?
parent strength of 48, the death of the
Maryland senator reduces the supposed
majority to a point very near the divid?
ing line of party control.

An adjourned meeting of the Board

Bids had been asked fur the remain?
ing dirt roads in Jeffersoriville district,
but only one was tendered, that of
Berkley S. Giliespie for the road from
J. A. Crockett's to the intersection of
the river road near Pisgah, which wss
reject??*!.
One account, that of J. G. Giliespie
for $29.40, was allowed.
The matter of prorating the funds
for the dirt roads in JefT.rsonville dis?
trict was taken up, and p.oration made
on a basis of the estimated cost. As \
there are nearly seventy-four miles of I
the dirt roads, and the c stimated cost I
of building same is $299,109, and the

road from Gap Store to Maiden Spring

tangth?to $7,552 01 to build eight and
