Ritter and Wescott knocked the ball
for three bags. Burress also got three
Dagger and scored on the only error
made by Snow Hill.
Kite for Snow Hill and Marian for
Pocomoke attended strictly to business
behind the bat. That was a peach of a
fly Kite went up after and landed. Old
Kite flies high in this neighborhood.
Capern is great favorite. Good boy.
Good ball player.
Oh it was caution, the way Ritter
did bat that ball at Pocomoke. And
Wescott and Long John, too.
Townsend, Burress and Duncan play
ed the best ball for Pocomoke. Old
Townsend knocked several scorchers.
He was the first man to reach LIST base
and the last man put out in the game.
Here's to you, DIR. Willis. You know
the game.
Westcott is not only good pitcher.
but the coolest man on the diamond
even when his Royal Fatness is soaked
with perspiration.
Marian, of Pocomoke, throws to Sec
ond beautifully. A good, clean ball
player.
What's the matter with Salisbury
sports Have they lost interest in the
sport ? Where's George Todd and Sam
Gordy? Come on, and go in on salary
limit. We want to go to Salisbury and
we want you here.

Knows the game and plays it all the
time. You're 1T.
Burroughs covers first base fine and
knocks the cover off the ball when he
gets to the bat.
And what's the matter with Heck
man? He's all right. He's the ''old
man" of the team. Pop, the boys call
him.
Eddy Williams always comes up smil-
ing. He pitched great game on the 4th.
Fatty Davis was no improvement over
Alfred Parker. Parker is good little
player and did good work at Snow Hill
on the 4th.
And our second baseman! He's on
springs. You can't lose him. You're
all right, Kettler.
Pocomoke defeated Crisfield Thurs
day. Score 90. Charley Ward says
the Crisfield club is a strong one, too.
Sam Mumford, of Snow Hill, is covering
Sd for them and is reputed to have de-
veloped into a fast all-around player.
Westcott changed his delivery to a
slow ball last Wednesday. Therefore
the Pocomoke boys were not on to him.
Townsend plays good ball. Sometimes
the "baloon goes up"
The man who attempts to run to I'd
had better watch Marian.
AS we go to press game of ball is
in progress between the home nine and
Rehoboth, Del. The Rehoboth players
are reputed to be strong aggregation.

DISASTROUS Mill FIRE.
Flour Mill Owned BY VIM. II. Jones.
And Operated By Shockley & Selby
Goes Up In Flames.

A fire, which broke out shortly after
nine O'Clock Tuesday night destroyed
the flour mill property belonging to VIM.
.H. Jones, and located on the Pocomoke
river not far from the mill of Smith,
Moore & Co. When discovered the
flames had made such great Roadway
that the efforts of the firemen, who
were quickly on the scene, were in
effectual in saving the flour mill proper
ty, and were expended in preventing
the flames from spreading to the ada
cent property of Smith, Moore & Co.
The sparks from the burning building,
which was three story structure, flew
in showers across the river, many fall
ing on the southern end of the mill
yard. By the heroic efforts of the fire.
men and citizens of the town the flames
were confined to the burning building,
which was destroyed with all it's ma
chinery. Messrs. Shockley & Selby held
term lease on the mill, but it had not
been operated for ten days prior to its
burning. The origin of the fire is I'M
known.
Mr.. Jones carried So, 900 insurance on
the mill, and estimates his loss as some
what greater. The loss of Shockley &
Selby will not exceed $500; no insurance.

AT the fire Tuesday night it was
clearly demonstrated that there is
something wrong with the water works
of the town, as there was not sufficient
pressure to force the water to any APP
preciable height. 1t has been suggest
ed that the pumps cannot do their work
on account of the wells being filled up.
We respectfully ask the authorities to
look into the matter and to remedy the
evil, so as to assure the people of the
town of adequate protection from a SER
ious conhagration, such as threatened
the town few nights ago.

MUST KEEP SOBER.

The time has been in Missouri
when man could get drunk occasion
ally and still hold place Of respecta-
bility in society, especially if he
were a man we'll -to-do in the world
We have known that in certain com
munities young men in semi lntoxi.
Gated state could be admitted into the
parlors of some Of the best homes and
there be entertained by young lady
or ladies whose life had been pure and
true. But we hope that day has
passed everywhere. The drunkard
should be absolutely ostracized from
decent society. He should be made
to feel that his conduct is justly con-
demned by all good people, and made
to understand that he can never at
tain to respecta bility so long as he
continues to debauch himself. This
does not preclude our doing all in ou1
power to save him from his drunken
ness, but desire to save a man from
his sins, and social equality in gen.
eral terms of society are two very
different things. They have refer
ence to two different bases of action
and to very different results st.

THE WALES REVIVAL ON
TEMPERANCE.

The bearing of this great revival on
the temperance question is tremend-
Gus, but not surprising, for have we
not long felt that strong drink is the
deadliest foe of the Church of Christ
and of the spiritual life of its mem
bers? Never since the temperance
reformation began has the drink
traffic received so mighty check as
now. Converts are everywhere aban-
doniDg strong drink. public houses
are in many cases nearly deserted.
many publicans are grooming over
the diminished sale of beer and others
are abandoning their trade, and the
magistrates in the districts affected
are finding but little to do in the
courts The Rev J. Tertius Phillips
of Cardiff, testifies that 1.-THE church
es have never been go deeply moved
on the drink question as now. They
have learned beyond any possible dis
pute that drink has been the slave
holder of the masses OF the people
Churches that have long discussed,
yea, quarreled and divided over, the
communion wine, have now agreed to
Danish intoxicating wine from the
Lords Table, and replace it by unfer-
mented wine. Ministers and church
officers who, if not opposed to the
temperance cause, never did or said
anything in advocacy Of total absti.
hence, now urge their churches &c
sign the pledge as safe example &c
the new converts now numbering
some 70, 900 in the aggregate. The
vast majority of the converts have
been rescued from drink. - National

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT !.

Whereas it has pleased Almig' t.
God to take from us to transplant u
heaven among the faithful of tile
Lord our worthy Bro. Alexander
Price who departed this life on the
4th day Of June A. D. 1906 at his
home near Cato Rankin County Mis-
sissippi.
Therefore be it resolved that in the
death of our worthy Bro. Alexander
Price Cato Lodge No., $50 F. and A.
M. has lost faithful and Jealous
member, the church true end noble
christian and worker, his family q
devoted father. Alas! Heaven has
been made richer earth has been made
poorer and home left desolate.
Resolved that while we deplore his
loss we look forward to the Spring Of
Acacias blooming and we are reminded
of that better part of man which sur
wives the grave and which bears the
nearest affinity to that supreme inteli-
gence which pervades all nature and
can never, never die. We the MEM
bers of Cato Lodge with joy look for
ward to the day when we shall meet
him in that bright and beautiful
home beyond the grave where parting
will be no more.
Resolved that we tender to his be-
reaved family our heartfelt sympathy
on account of their irreparable loss
and request the secretary of the lodge
to have these resol utions printed in
The Brandon News and in the Simp-
son County News and copy of each
sent to the members Of his family and
the same be spread on our minutes.
Received and adopted.

GOOD ASSOCIATES

It is just possible that young man
may sometimes find himself sur.
rounded by environments which may
make the choosing of his friends a
hard task. But if he will stop a
moment and consider, it would be bet
ter for him to have no friends at all
than to associate with some of the
nell with whom he is thrown in con-
tact.
In this day and age of cheap print
ing, we can shut ourselves in oSr
room and enjoy the association of the
greatest and purest intellects that
have ever lived. In speaking of
books Lyman Abbott, who should be a
good judge, appropriately said, "A
book is friend. A good book is a
good friend. It will talk to you
when you wish to talk, and it will
keep still when you wish it to keep
still, and there are not many friends
who know enough for that. A Ii
brary is collection of friends. -
Young men would do we'll to bear
this in mind, and collect only the
best.

eleven children-eight of whom sur

Baptist church and became one of her
most earnest and active members being
treasurer and collector for more than
twenty years. He kept a strict &C
count of all the church's finances and
could show to cent just what had
been paid and by whom, and for
what purpose it was paid out. It is
not likely that the old church will

is an appeal to congress and the
president.
So far as President Roosevelt is
concerned the appeal has not been
made in vain. He recognizes the
need of some authority 10 force the
railroads to accept just rates, and he
will present the matter clearly and
forcibly to congress at its next ses-
sion. What that body will do is an
open question which no one can an
swer until sufficient number Of the
members declare themselver to en-
able one to form an intelligent opin-
ion concerning the attitude of a ma g.
jority. Tne railroad companies will
probably, oppose all such legislation
and they may be able to influence q
large number Of representatives and
senators. But if the people declare
themselves with emphasis, the in
Huence of the railroads, however
great it may be, will not prevail.
1t would be wise for the railroads
to recognize the inevitable and place
themselves in line with public senti-
ment. If they think that Legislation
of the kind contemplated would be
injurious to their interests, they
should consider both President
Roosevelt's assurance that he will
oppose any attempt to do injustice
to those corporations, and also the
possibility that much less drastic
legislation might be secured il they
established some basis of agreement
with the people in regard to the cir
cumstances under which the power
to make rates should be exercised
