Mil Burned At Shovel.

The mill and stave factory Of C. C.
Mumford & Company at Shovel, was
burned early Tuesday morning entailing
a loss of about s5,000.OO. The origin
of the fire is not known. In connec-
ton with the mill was canning factory
which has been in operation for some
time and where great number of peo-
pie are employed. Through the siren
uous efforts of bucket brigade this
factory and the warehouse, which con-
tanned several carloads of packed
tomatoes, were saved from destruction.
1t caught on fire several times but the
efforts of the fire fighters were effect
ual and the fire was confined to the mill.
Much sympathy is expressed for Num-
ford & Company and it is hoped that
they will rebuild at an early date.

FIayed by Boiling Water.

To be plunged into boiling water,
which scalded off almost every bit of
the skin, was the horrible fate of Percy
Price, of Quantico. Nd, last Saturday
evening. Price and several other young
men who are employed in the canning
factory of Orlando Taylor, near Wetip-
quin, were riding and playing upon some
overhead movable machinery in the
factory, and it was suggested that
Price be placed on the movable crane
and given 10y ride"
In some manner the snap-lock which
is used to lower can crates became un-
fastened and let Price fall into large
vat, where he became completely sub
merged in boiling water. Help was
summoned. and the young man was
taken to his home, where he lies in a
critical condition, lowering between life
and death.

The attention of Democratic voters
throughout the county is called to the
fact that the first registration day will
be on Tuesday, September 2Sth. 1t is
absolutely essential, in order to be able
to vote, that the voters name must be
on the registration books upon the day of
election, and if voter has changed his
district since last year a TRANSFER
MUST BE HAD. The voter must APP
pear in person before the registrars of
the district in which he resided last year
and present it to the registrars of the
of the district in which he is now living.
This can only be done on one of the two
registration days, and it should be at
tended to WITHOUT FAIL ON THE
FIRST DAY, as it frequently happens
that something prevents it from being
done on the second. There are only two
registration days this year: TUESDAY,
SEPTEMBER 2Sth, and TUESDAY,
OCTOBER 5th. Our voters all over
the county should see to it that every
effort is made to have Democrats just
coming of age registered on the first
day so that if anything happens to pre-
vent this, it can be done on Tuesday. the
9Th of October. This will be the last
opportunity to have any names placed
on the books.

Route For Eastern Shore Line

The directors of the new Eastern
Shore Railway are preparing for busy
week. There are several important
steps to be taken in the next few days
looking to the immediate start of max
ing the road thing of reality.
Ii has been decided to order survey
of the Eastern Shore end of the road
commenced at once. To this end COM
petent engineers will be employed this
week to make these preliminary sur
veys. There will be three in number,
all starting at the bay terminal of the
road and all likewise ending at Cam
bridge Ferry, small settlement across
the Choptank river from Cambridge. 1t
is explained that the ending of the road
at the Ferry instead of at Cambridge
itself does away with detour of 40
miles around the Choptank river through
n country that is not particularly pro-
ductive or profitable to traverse.
When these three surveys have been
completed committee will select the
one believed the most available. Then
the matter of road construction will be
taken up at once.
Although information comes from un-
official sources. it is believed that dur
ing the present week steps will be taken
looking to the financing of the project.
As there is great interest displayed in
the undertaking both on the Eastern
Shore and among Baltimore merchants,
il is not believed that this will prove
troublesome.

A DELMAR man
DESERVES MEDAL
Has Been Married Three Times
Has 80 Children, And At
76 Adds Twins.

Delmar, DEL, Sept. l5.-The birth of
twins, about month ago, makes John
w. Guy, seventy-six years Of aeh, the
father of thirty-two children. He has
been married three times. Through
the marriage of son by his first wife
and daughter by his second wife, To
sister and brother of his present wife,
the father is also brother-in-law to
two of his own children.
Mr.. Guy is wealthy farmer, living
at Melfa. small village to the south
of Delmar. He was born in 1882 and
is still hale and hearty. When Guy pur-
chased his first farm he was a poor
man. and with large family, chances
stood against HIM, but as his boys grew
he prospered, and is now owner of sew
eral of the finest farmes in this vicinity.
Guys first marriage was to Mary Anne
Redfeld, daughter of farmer, in 1855.
when both were in their twenty-second
year. To this union seven children were
born.
The second marriage was an elope-
ment. The bride, Margaret Elizabeth
Ayers, was pretty girl of twemty-one.
and her parents strenously objected to
her lover, who was much older than she.
Eighteen children resulted from this
marriage.
Guys present wife was Miss Lola
Crockett. She was sixteen, and he sixty
five, when they married. Seven chill
dren have been born to her. including
the twins.
OF the thirty-two children, twenty
one are sons, and eleven daughters,
twenty-three are still living. his eldest
son being fifty-three years Of age. De-
spite the fact that the old man has
raised so many children, sixteen of
whom are married, he has only twenty
three grandchildren, and three great
grandchildren.
