pOCOMOKE GETS RESULTS.

0OO"Oss1 VIII wv 'S'
Through the efforts of the
Pocomoke City Board of Trade,
Superintendent Elisha Lee, of
the n. Y. p. & n. Railroad, has
put on an additional train from
Onley, Va, to Pocomoke City
and Salisbury. The train will
run Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday of each week.
Several weeks ago, the Mes
sENGER in an editorial pointed
out To the business men of Snow
Hill the ACCESSIBILITY of organ
izing a Board of Trade for this
town. We contended that it is
the proper way to place before
the people of the country the
advantages of Snow Hill as a
manufacturing town, and that
it would cause our people to
work in unity and to a purpose
to secure new industries for this
town. By means of her Board
of Trade our sister town, POGO
moke City, has caused the rail-
road company to sit up and
take notice whereas, if one or
two individuals had made re-
quest for better train service.
it is likely that no attention,
except probably a courteous
letter explaining why the re-
quest could not be granted,
would have been paid to the in
dividual solicitation. 1t is diff
ferent when the business men
of community make request
of the railroad companies, and
Pocomoke City gets what she
is entitled to by adopting good
business methods.
Snow Hill wants more fac
tories, not only to give employ
ment to those already living
here, but to provide employ
ment for those persons who de-
sire to make Snow Hill their
home. Now, the method that
the MESSENGER would recon-
mend is this: let us organize a
Board of Trade, the member
ship to consist of the business
men of Snow Hill, who will pay
q small annual membership fee
to carry on the work of the
Board, which should be first the
employment of some member
of the Board or other active per-
son to visit manufacturing
towns and ascertain the kind
of factories pat are prospecting
there and look into the advisi-
bility of establishing such fac
tories in Snow Hill. Our people
have the money to put into good
paying enterprises and it will
be very easy matter to secure
sufficient money in this COM
munity to start an enterprise
or enterprises when our people
have confidence in their sta
lily.
We all expect to be busy un-
the first of the year there
e, we do not expect anything
be done between now and
shat time, but shortly after the
advent of 1910 we hope to see a
meeting of the business men of
Snow Hill and the organization
of a Board of Trade, the mem
bers Of which will work together
for the advancement of our
town.

sumptous feast was spread, and the

appeal to their appetites, which were

Hattiesburg band.
Last night from s to 40 o'clock the
writer witnessed the brightest and
most magnificent exhibition of light

other kept the whole armament
ablaze for two hours. This was fol-
lowed too, by some of the heaviest
rolls of thunder ever heard. Now, it
was chain-lightning and cracked aud

flash with an explosive roar, with Sc

awaken at the same time, a feeling of
the fascination of awe and the fear of
peril.

Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
DO you PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS

The News has had much to say in
the past few days about paying sub
scriptions. We have not meant TO
take anybody to task who pays with
reasonable promptness and there are
many of our subscribers who do not
need any such notices; but there are
many people who seem to think that
1t is not important to pay their sub
scription and that it is but small
loss to the paper If they move away
and leave four or five months unpaid
subscription. Then there are those
who think it is all right TO make
some kind of a deal with the carrier
so that they do not have to pay full
price for the paper and better yet get
it for nothing if they can. The
present management of the Hatties-
burg News is trying to make the
paper pay. Both the News and the
Progress lost thousands of dollars and
much of it was due to the money lost
on subscriptions. PLEASE REMEM-
Der THAT THE PRICE CHARGED
FOR SUBSCRIPTION is BASED ON
THE COST OF PRODUCTION. You
have no more right to expect a copy
of the News for nothing than you have
to go to the grocery and get a pound
of sugar for nothing. We must have
pay for the paper or we will not send
it to you. This applies to everybody,
for the News expects to pay for all 1t
gets and in addition to that it Is do
ing enough free work for churches,
charity and boosting the town and
country so that we expect to get paid
for that which we spend money to
produce.

A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.

The accomplishment of Orville
Wright yesterday, in making a cross
country flight with passenger in his
aeroplane, was a wonderful achieve
ment and one in which every Ameri-
can will take pride. This is by far
the most dangerous trial that has
been attempted and the fact that il
met all of the requirements of the gov
eminent indicates that the flying ma
chine is an invention that has great
possibilities for development. The
United States has lead all other ma
tons in the accomplishments of avia
ton and congress should make ample
provision for continuing the expert
ments in aerial navigation.

UNITY NECESSARY TO SUCCESS.

Whatever is accomplished in Hat
tiesburg is going to be done through
the efforts of the combined business
interests of Hattiesburg. That can
only be done by everyone evincing a
give and take spirit. We will do
nothing if any number of business men
or firms take the position that they
will do nothing unless it can be done
their way. We must work for the best
interest of the whole city in whatever
we undertake, for our forces are not
strong enough to be divided now.

PART OF THEIR BUSINESS.

Newton Record.
A few days ago the medical society
of Kinds county passed a resolution
requesting the Jackson papers not to
mention names of physicians in con-
nection with any illness, accident or
| operation, stating in this resolution
| that it was unethical for physicians
to have their names appearing in print
in this manner. The resolution init
mates that physicians sometimes paw
for the notices they get
In commenting on the resolution the
| Jackson News rightly says no physi-
clan can get his name mentioned in
the news columns in connectlu
with any illness, accident or opera
ton for a money consideration, no
matter what price he might offer.
When such mention appears it is a
voluntary act of the newspaper, and
the name of the physician is handled
purely as news matter.
The News further says: Certainly,
it is not advertising in any sense of
the word, from the newspaper view.
point for as above stated, no physician
can buy that form Of publicity in these
columns. When the name of a physi-
clan appears in the Daily News in
connection with any case the other
members of the profession may feel
assured that the publication is pure
ly gratuitous, wholly unsought and
printed only as a matter of Informal
ton.
I'VE have all due respect for the
code of ethics of the medical profes-
sion, but we do not feel under any
obligation whatever to observe that
code of ethics. We are newspaper
men, not doctors, and it is our pur-
pose and desire to give our readers
everything that resembles news hap.
penings in this community. When
some prominent citizen is i'll, or finds
it necessary to undergo an operation,
we regard it just as much matter of
news to mention the name of the doc
tor at the bedside, or the surgeon who
Yields the knife, as it is to mention
the name of the patient. The logic of
this is plainly apparent. The friends
of the patient have a natural desire
to know the name of the DOCTOR and
it is the duty of the newspaper man
to furnish him with that information.
This is done without any purpose
or desire to advertise any doctor. 1t
is simply a matter of news, and print
ed as such. 1t is the code of ethics
of the newspaper profession, observed

LABOR WASTED.

The News does not wish to be un'
derstood as being DESTROYS Of finding
fault with everything, but we must
confess that IL there is any reason for
doing the work on New Orleans
street, that is now being done, we can
not understand it. To begin With
New Orleans street is closed up at
Main street so that the work being
done at the junction of the Gravel Pit
line and the Mississippi Central is
useless, even if there is any demand
for the opening up of this street,
through an unused part of the city.
It seems all the more thrown away
when we know that no matter how
much effort is put forth, the work
needed on Main, Bouie and River ave-
nue. cannot possibly be done as sooE
as ii should be done. Here is street
being opened through district that
is only good for factory and ware
house sites and it is a question if 1t
shouId be done. Surely 1t is effort
wasted now and the News feels sure
that 1t is time for the business organ
izations to wake up and see If it is

dria, precipitatd them into the water
and Fridinger. who knew but little about
swimming, soon disappeared beneath the
surface. Later, policemen OF the harboE
precinct searched for the body, but with
out success.
Fridinger, only son Of Mr.. and Mrs Will
liam Fridinger. former residents Of Ha-
gerstown, resided at 9th and r streets
during the last few weeks, having former
ly lived at the Pennhurst, 4s H street
with his father, William LIE Buff. an en-
ploye Of the government printing ONCE, at
S27 North Capitol street, 10 from Charles
ton, s. c.. Since the Fridingers came
here from Hagerstown about nine months
ago Paul and Leon have been close
| friends.
Proceed to Alexandria.
| About four months ago young Frid-
niger purchased a canoe and named 1t
Zip" He frequently enjoyed trips on
the river in it. Yesterday the two young
men went to Alexandria for the home
coming exercises. and remained
there, it is thought. until after IL
| o'clock. When they were ready to re-
turn home they found the owners of a
motor boat. who gave them a tow.
drawing the canoe and its occupants
from the Virginia city to the forks OF
the channel OFF Potomac point. There
the line was cast of and the canoeists
headed up stream to take their craft to
Georgetown.
1t is said the water was rather rough.
A gust of wind and heavy wave It
| Is thought, caused the capsizing Of the
boat. LIE Buff related to the police Just
what happened. Both men, he explain
ed were thrown into the river, but he
thought Fridinger managed to hold to
the capsized boat. When he came to the
surface. he says. he saw his companion
holding to the boat, but the frail craft
soon overturned and Fridinger disap-
peared.
| Drifts to Shore.
| lie Buff managed to catch hold Of the
boat and cling to it while it drifted toward
shore. He thinks it was fully an
hour before the boat bumped against the
sea wall and he was able to climb ashore.
Then he collapsed from exhaustion. Re-
covering his strength. he made his way
across Potomac Park to the bridge and
