Holly trees arch gracefully over the neat white fences that line the dirt road leading to the brick mansion at West Hatton, the 630-acre Zantzinger farm-estate in southern Maryland.

The Constitution, when thus adopted, was of complete obligation, and bound the state sovereignties ..." The Governor who asked us all to re-read our history books, needs some refreshing himself...
