Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1908-11-28

a delightful oyster roast was given
last Saturday afternoon BY Captains
William +. Scott, Harrison Woolford
and Charles Bunting to large number
of friends. The Captains met their
friends at Sturgis' landing and carried
them down the bay about three miles
to Picnic Hill, where the roast was
given in fine style and enjoyed by every
body who had the good fortune to be
present. After the roast" launch
trip was taken on Chincoteague Bay.
Captains Scott, Woolford and Bunting
received the thanks of all the party for
the delightful trip given them.
A Berlin gentleman writer to the
editors of the MESSENGER as follows:
1--WE are glad to note that some of the
Tariff Barons have at last adopted the
honest view Of the Democrats, as well
as the constitutional preceipt, that pro-
tectiye tariff is special privilege. 1t
may be that Carnegie has come to this
opinion, because he is viewing his final
end. and prefers to die confessed sin
ner, than an active looter of the people.
We wonder whether poor old Rookie
fellow will be sympathetic and allow
his conscience to become illumined with
anything not calculated to magnify the
Standard Oil millions. j. G. Hill. the
Napoleon of Finance. is also con-
vert to Democratic beliefs and ideals. "
Salisburians are contemplating the
building of an electric road from Sails
bury to Nanticoke. and for the purpose
of ascertaining the feasibility of the
proposition have had Mr.. Burns, of the
firm of Burns e. Company, Of Chicago,
who have built more than 5000 miles of
steam and electric lines, down to go
over the proposed route and report to
those behind the movement Mr..
Burns was enthusiastic upon the sub
ject. stating that the country is excep-
tionally fine the cost would be low. and
the capabilities of the line excellent.
The company is Incorporated and will
start to work soon providing they can
get the right of way upon reasonable
terms. There is no reason why some
such lines would not pay in Worcester
County.
Snow Hill ladies' will do well to
heed the warning of physicians as to
the evils of kissing. Many leading
medical authorities interested in the
campaign against tuberculosis are
agreed that the custom is one of
the most fertile and dangerous modes
of transmitting the great white
plague" and similar diseases, and that
a crusade to check the practice is desir-
able and necessary. Especially empha-
tic are these authorities in insisting
that kissing upon the mouth is always
to be avoided. as this affords one of the
readiest means for the transmission of
serious lung complaints. Snow Hill
counting couples need feel no alarm at
the new crusade. Noone contemplates
interfering with their rights and priv
ileges.
Too much attention cannot be called
to the educational campaign which is
to be waged in this community, in con-
nection with the tuberculosis exhibit
at the Court House. December nth,
18th and 10Th. Although this exhibit
deals primarily with tuberculosis, its
influence will not be limited to this one
question, but will work, along with the
meetings held in connection Herewith
for the betterment of the community.
All classes of people. including doc
tors, lawyers. ministers, teachers.
merchants and workers of all kinds will
be interested in knowing what may be
done to make Snow Hill and vicinity a
better place in which to live. This ex-
hibit, which is sent out by the Mary
land Association for the Prevention and
Relief of tuberculosis, consists of pho
tographs, charts and models showing
what tuberculosis is, how it is spread
from one person to another. how it may
be prevented and how it is being cured.
The exhibit is educational in its nature.
the idea being that the proper sort of
knowledge will enable people to protect
themselves from the ravages Of 1.-THE
great white plague. Full announce
ment will be made through these
columns when all arrangements are
completed.
