OLD BACK CREEK I ■ STILUS | PUBLIC HIGHWAY j County Commissioners So Hold, j Following Opinion Of Their Counsel FOR OLD QUARTER ROAD. At the meeting Tuesday of the County Commissioners, the two mat iters of especial interest that were be-: fore the Board were those relating to the road at Eastport forming the ap- i iproach to Back creek bridge, and to the “Old Quarter Road,” in the upper I end of the county. Th>e question as to the legal status of the road at Back creek was raised ] 'at the Board meeting of two weeks ago when, following a petition and protest of a number of citizens of I Eastport against an individual's put- 1 j ting a fence across the former/ road j leading to the bridge, the Board refer red v the question to its Counselor, Ridgely P. Melvin, with a request for .his legal opinion. Mr. Melvin submit- i ted his opinion to the Board in writ ing yesterday, and it w'as ordered filed and putdished. The substance of it j is. that the road forming the approacli to the old bridge was, undoubtedly a pul lie road during the time the 1 ridge j was hi use and for years thereafter J land that it must, under the law. re > tain its status as a pul lie road until it is closed in the precise way called for by the Code of Public General latws of Maryland. This has never been done and therefore the erection of a fence ly anybody across this road or obstruetidg it in any way, is held to be a transgression. The opinion points out that the remedy for this is by indictment of any wrongdoers, or by injunction. The opinion also refers to the fact that tho .Back creek bridge was constructed under Act of 18S6. and to the case of Bembe against the County Commissioners in 1901 in which the Court dealt directly with this bridge and the road leading to it. County Helps Hoads Commission This- and a number of other mat ters came up before the County offi cials in course of their meeting. Further progress was made in connec tion with the construction of the Old j Quarter Road in the Third and Fourth Districts, in accordance with a resolution offered by Commissioner j Disney and which was adopted. This' I road is to be built .under State-aid provisions, and the contract for it was let at a previous meeting of the Board. It develops, however, that the State Roads Commission is without suffici ent funds at this time to cover the State’s share of the cost, and it was suggested that the work might be pushed ahead under State supervision, if the County could carry the State’s j share of the costs until such time as the necessary funds therefor are j available. Acquiescence in this propo- 1 sition was the effect of the Disney resolution. (Continued on Pace Four) NO SETBACK IN WILSON'S ILLNESS (By the Associated Press) Washington, Oct.

OPENING MEETING OF i SERIES OF SERVICES HELD AT EASTPORTI Dr. Smith Contends System At Fault Which Neglects Child’s Spiritual Development URGES TEACHING TRUTH The opening meeting of the series of four services for Sunday School and Church workers was held last night in i the Eastport Methodist Episcopal j I Church. The speaker of the evening: j was the Rev. John William Smith. ;i>.!).. of Baltimore, a specialist in Sun-j ) day School work. Dr. Smith's theme was “Some Noe ' essarv Factors,” in which he express-1 : eij his representative audience with ! six points: (It “.The supreme task.of! each generation is the education of its i children.” He referred to the time, I i the energy and the money invested in ! -ocular oducufiuu.

This drive is for the purpose of rais-1 jug an annual fund for five years to j aid in tho maintenance of the local in ] stitution, which lias proved its worth | and lias been of inestimable value to | the sick and suffering in the town and j county of Anne Arundel.

The colored people are being called upon the same as the white arid are j asked to do,their utmost in the drive. : Those who are able to pledge a certain | sunt annually for five years, will not ! be called upon again, but it will be nec essary to call upon those next year who only subscribe a nominal sura this year. The following are the helpers in the drive for each of the wards in the city: Helpers Fot First Ward. Mrs. R. O. Heiucr, chairman; Mrs. j Walton H. Hopkins, Miss Nancy Wal ton, Mrs. Carrol H.

This is the seventy-fourth j , academic year of the institution, j The Academy oegins the term with! ia total of 2,oStt students on the ros-i ! ter. They are apportioned among the) four classes as follows: First, 304;! Second, 300; Third. 773; Fourth, 700.! I This is 34 fewer than were carried on j j the rolls at the beginning of the last j ' term. That tl\e total this year did not establish a numerical record, lfow- j j ever, was due to two reasons, first, j that only two-thirds of the 2,100 can-J didates designated for appointment to I | this year’s Fourth Class presented j themselves for the entrance examina- i , tions, and of this 1,400, about fifty | per cent, were found quaVllo*) as I shown by the roll of 70!) in the new ! class; and secondly, a large number ! of studonts of the Third and Fourth | cl sees, of last year were compelled to resign by reason of failures in the, I last annual examinations conducted in, June of this year. The total roster; j of the four classes last year was 2.120. j The several figures noted are based ! upon information announced from the; administration offices of the Naval Academy this morning. As shown by the above figures, the j Third Clas has the largest cample-i meat of students. This, however, is * not the largest class ever at the Acad- j emy, for a few years ago the Fourth,; or entering class, had a roll of over 000. An idea of the scholastic, and pro fessional work accomplished at the* ! Academy during the last two years— | the period that every branch of the I unitary service of the country was ‘ more than worked double time on | account of the war—may be gained 1 from the fact that four classes were i graduated from the academy within j | two years. This, of course, caused; curtailment of the work all down the line. In other words, the regular four-year course, was crowded into three years. When the Midshipmen marched in to the several class rooms, they ; found many new faces among the j \ corps of instructors, as there have j been changes by the wholesale dur-! ing the summer months, particularly! ! among the tutors taken from the com- j missioned personnel of the service, i All of the civilian instructors, who | are assigned principally to the de partments of Modern Languages, and English were appointed for another i year. WORLDS’ SERIES ! GAMES UNDER WAY; City Tne Associated Press.! Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct.. I.—Fajr weather was predicted this morning; | and gave promise that the first world's; j series game between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds would be played at Redlands Field this afternoon. The prediction for Cin cinnati was unsettled weather, but lo cal predictions said not rain enough I to interfere with the game. Baseball fans from every section ! of the country were in Cincinnati for' the opening of the series, but Ohio fans were in the majority. Nearly , every Ohio city and village was rep ; resented in the crowd of thirty-three thousand who filled the Redland Field. Among the public officials present were Senator Warren Harding of Ohio, and former Governor White, of West Virginia. RECOVERING FROM PARALYTIC STROKE John McCarter, for several years Superintendent of the -Court House, * was able to be about and attending to his duties today, after an illness of , several days.

The capital city of the State has been for almost ten years without a directory of any kind, and that it may no longer in tins respect remain behind progressive cities the Annapolis City irireetorv will shortly be given to what it is confidently hoped will prove to bo an appreciative public. Few persons, other than those direct ly concerned can have an idea of the j immense amount of labor involved in i such a compilation, properly carried out. Believing that Annapolis business men will not fail to sense the import ance of the undertaking, it is confi dently hoped that the necessary steps in the* work—such as the gathering of names and getting of advertisements will be willingly assisted by those with whom the final benefits of the com pleted work will rest. It is our aim that no name that should be included shall be omitted, and it is hoped that no business man or woman of Annapolis will withhold an adequate advertisement of his or her business from the pages of the di , rectory. The success of such an indispensable aid to bittiness as the city directory is largely in the hands of the business men themselves. TOBACCO GROWERS MEET AT FRIENDSHIP With an audience of 200, the Mary land Tobacco Growers’ Association I held another of its county meetings 1 last night at Friendship, in the Eighth district.
