We are informed that a cutting
scrape occurred between Tilford
Sturgis aud Frank Wiseman and
probably Chas. Wiseman at Bethany
church, two miles north of Westville,
a week ago last Sunday night. The
three youths are also charged, we
understand, with disturbing religious
worship. Their case was set for trial
before Justice Clark last Friday, but
owing to the failure of Prosecuting
Attorney Collet to receive notification
in time, a continuance was taken un-
til today.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS

On the seventh day of next
November the people of Mary
land will have an opportunity
to choose their Governor and
other State and County officers.
Whether or not the present adj
ministratiOn of affairs in this
State. with its record as cur
rent history known TO all men,
and with the opportunities of IA
retention of power, shall be
continued, is the question that
is brought face to face TO every
voter.
That it is the duty of every
citizen of this State to exercise
the right of franchise is a truth
that can not be too frequently
reiterated That many of those
best qualified by education.
knowledge, and experience for
an intelligent exercise of this
right, are those most prone to
neglect it is a fact that calls
forth this appeal to every man
who believes in efficient public
servants and honest and capa-
BILE conduct of affairs, to lay
aside-sacrifice if need be-his
personal interests for a few
hours and devote that time to
the service of his County and
State.
Prior to the exercise of this
high right of citizenship, regis
tration is necessary. In the
Counties of this State there is
no general registration this
year, but for the purpose of
supplementary registration the
registers will sit in the several
election precincts of your coun-
" on
Tuesday, October Bird,
from s A. NJ. to Z p. ". and
Tuesday. October 10th,
during the same hours.
For the purpose of revision
only. at which date no new
names will be added. they Will
sit on Tuesday. October 18th.
Remember these dates.
Not only is it the duty of
every citizen to register him
self. and through the regular
channels of his party, to see
that his friends and neighbors
are registered. but it is likewise
his duty to see that the lists are
purged of all names that by
reason of death. removal, crime,
illegality, or fraud, should be
stricken therefrom.
Let every Democrat interest
himself in this important mat
ter, and the cause of good Gov
eminent so auspiciously inagu.
rated in the City of Baltimore
in May, will be continued in
the State in November.

OPEN REBELLION
Worcester Republicans Resent
ing Party's Interference
With Schools.

Last week the MESSENGER printed IA
protest, signed by all the patrons of
Ironshire school, against the removal of
Miss Alberta Birmingham. one of the
teachers of that school. The trouble
there has not vet abated, and the deter
of the people to have their
way is As strong as ever. One of the
trustees appointed by the new school
board requests us to say that he will
not serve for them and don't want any
thing to do with such mess There
brought about by removal of trustees.
The Ocean City affair is still fresh in the
minds of the people, and up the county
there is open rebellion i'll the ranks of
the Republican party. Mr., Peter j.
Donnoway, lifelong Republican. is
disgusted and has entered his protest
with the party leaders against the re-
moval of Mr.. Quillen and the upsetting
of school affairs i'll this county. He Is
not the only one, and the Republicans
are badly frightened over the condition
of affairs their leaders, through the adj
vice of some rattle brains. have brought
upon them Instead of making votes
they are losing them. Every man. wom-
an and child i'll the county knows it is
all Republican politics that has so up
set the schools. \ prominent Republi-
can said in Snow Hill Wednesday that
the whole trouble was the result of the
Republicans listening to some cast off,
second hand Democrats who thought
they ought to be the Republican leaders
in the upper part of the county, and
who wanted To get certain teachers
places regardless of the trouble it
would make. \ prominent Prohibi-
ZIONIST said he intended to cast his vote
this Fall for the Democratic ticket.
The Republican party is losing ground
every day and Lowndes and Wellington
not only know it, but are sending for
Worcester Republicans aud begging
them TO stop this trouble.
