Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., April 26, 1900. Mr. E. A. Pry of Keedysville, a peach grower on an extensive scale and the owner of several fine peach farms, says the pros- pects are good for the best peach crop in the history of Washington county. He thinks the faflure of the crop last year gave the trees a rest, which has resulted in strengthening the buds this year. Mr. John Adams, the veteran peach grower of the Smithsburg belt, speaking in this con- nection, said to The Star correspondent that from all indications there will be an abun- dant crop of pé he says, ches this year.

In bis first reply Senor Lacoste sald that he was unable to accept, and had even de- termined to withdraw his name as a can- didate for the mayoralty, assigning as his reason the necessity of devoting his per- onl attention to his plantations and the time eccupled in the discharge of his dutles as president of the Planters’ Association. » thix General Wood answered that he desired to sccure for the place a man of influence, having personal interests in con- nection with agriculture, rather than one whose sole qualification was his Cu»an nationality.
