Clean Up.

Good things are contagious as
we'll as bad things, and that is an
encouragement and comfort. Ev-
cry man who works wisely in var
ious ways to help his town is not
only getting lots of satisfaction out
of it, but he is also setting a good
example to others, and that exam
may prove contagious. We knew
of man who, like many other
men, lived in place where no ef-
fort was made to make it look at
tractive. Weeds, uncut grass and
rubbish were allowed to flourish
and become an eyesore. Most OF
the residents seemed content to
have it so, but this man was not.
Singly, at first, and with undaunt-
ed courage and persistency he kept
his own property in order. Then
one neighbor after another followed
his example, and soon the whole
town awakened to the need of
making the place attractive, and
today that city is one of the most
popular and is admired for it's
beautiful appearance.

CHOICE GROCERIES.

Groceries, to be choice must be
fresh. In order to sell fresh gro
ceries we must keep them contin-

That's just what we are doing.
Therefore our groceries are fresh
and choice in the true sense of the

we will tell you the reason and how
to overcome it.

Unemployed Preachers.

The increased cost of living came be-
fore the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church of the United
States in forciblc manner at Atlantic
City when the committee on ministerial
relief made its annual report.
II makes an urgent plea for an in
crease in the contributions to the min
listers and ministers widows dependent
upon il.
Present payments of $500 annually
to retired ministers and $3.50 to widows,
it was held, were totally inadequate.
To meet the higher costs Of living, $500
should be given TO those pastors who
have no permanent incomes. and $500
10 their widows.
Last year, according TO the report.
the board supported |. ii3 persons. an
increase of 100. The receipts were
1924, 3.36, an increase Of $Sl, $40. "a.
Five hundred and fifty-one churches
contributed to the board, while 4, i8C
churches sent nothing.
The negligent churches were severely
scored and a resolution adopted here
after 10 report the latter TO the General
Assembly and thus compile a sort Of a
roll Of honor. The report showed that
at the present time the church has l, 7lS
able ministers without employment.
The boards endowment fund now
amounts to 81, 600, 900.

Sen. Smith Warmly Greeted,

A dispatch from Washington to the
Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says
Today was the first time Senator Smith
has been here for some time. and he has
Just recently returned from Atlantic
City, where he was i'll. He was warm
~ greeted this morning when he entered
the chamber by both Democrats and Re-
publicans. Asked as to his attitude on
the Taft Railroad bill, which will come
up in the Senate tomorrow, Senator
Smith said
81 am against the bill as a whole. l
think il is considerably better in its pres
ent shape than it was when it was first
introduced, but can see nor hear of no
demand upon the part of the public for
this sort OF legislation. There has been
too much agitation over the matter,
the people as whole seem to want the
measure. Also. do not approve of the
court of commerce feature of the bill.
Ii would serve merely TO create another
court for which there is no demand and
very little excuse.
Concerning the outlook for the fall
campaign in Maryland, Senator Smith
said he had not been in touch with local
conditions for some time, but he be-
lieved the prospects were exceedingly
good for the gaining of at least one
Democratic Congressman from Mary
land next fall.
"The tendency" he said, lis all in
our direction. Our partyis in good shape
and there is no reason why we should
not elect four and possibly more Con-
gressmen next November.
Senator Smith was uncertain as TO
whether he would be able to attend the
Democratic State Central Committee
meeting on Thursday IN Baltimore. His
health, while improved. is by no means
good, and he has not entirely recovered.

Commencement Exercises.

The class night and graduating ex,
ercises of Snow Hill High School were
held in Mason's Opera House this week.
The class night exercises came first, or
Tuesday night. Owing to the inclem.
ency of the weather the attendance
was not as large ms il would have been.
The rain came down in torrents just
about time to begin the program, and
as a consequence many ladies and chill
dren remained home rather than spoil
their attire. The program was splen-
did one and comprised the president
address, Mr.. Newell NJ. Corddry; roll
call, Mr.. Olin Haubert: class history,
Mr.. DIN Haubert: class song, composed
by Miss Nellie +. Bonneville, and sung
by Mr.. Braxton Il. Richardson: pre-.
sentation Grafton. Miss Elizabeth ii.
Jones; prophecy. Mr.. Braxton b. Rich
ardson. Then came the splendid
comedy-drama "A White Shawl. given
by the class, the characters being taken
by Mr.. Braxton 3. Richardson. Mr..
Newell Corddry. Mr.. James Whaley,
Miss Nellie Bonneville. Miss Pearl Lay
ton and Miss Elizabeth Jones. All the
characters were splendidly sustained,
and the play, as well as all the other
features of the class night, were voted
a success.
The regular commencement exercises
were held on Wednesday evening and
the attendance was large. The first
thing on the program was music by
the Snow Hill Orchestra, which rem.
dered number of choice selections
during the evening. Rev. George
Hines, in beautiful language and i'm.
pressive manner, invoked Gods bless
ing upon the exercises and the gradu.
ates. Then came the salutatory by
Miss Nellie Elizabeth Bonneville,

NJ. Corddry took for his valedictory adj
dress. ''Should Women Vote" He
handled it in masterful manner Mr..
Braxton Il. Richardson told of the The
Power of the Human Voice." and he
did il well. Rev. Ralph Coursey, of
Cambridge. Nd. delivered the address
to the graduates. Mr.. Coursey is a
favorite with many people in Snow Hill,
and he was so well acquainted with the
graduates and their parents that he
felt at ease in giving them big chunks
of good advice. DIR. c. w. Prettymar
awarded medals to Mr.. Corddry. Miss
Bonneville, and Miss Jones. Mr. Zadok
Powell made the presentation Of
diplomas. The class Of 1910 presented
Prof. Humphreys with safety razor,
and the class Of 1910. commercial de-
partment, presented their teacher, Miss
Mary Townsend, with beautiful
bracelet.
The graduating exercises were a
great success, and il was worth more
than the price to have them held in the
Opera House. There was plenty Of
light, and the graduating class was one
of the most proficient every turned out
of the Snow Hill High School, to the
lasting credit of Prof. Humphreys and
his worthy assistants.

SAM WILLIAMS
Gets 70 YEARS
COIOred Man Who Tried To As
sauIt Haywards Gets Prac-
ticalIy Life Sentence.

On Monday Samuel Williams, alias
Samuel Laws. was sentenced to 20 years
in the Maryland Penitentiary. This long
sentence grew out of his visit to the
home of Mr.. George Hayward several
weeks ago, during which time Mr.. Hay
wards two daughters had TO battle with
Williams for their lives. A full account
of his doings was printed in the MES
sENGER, and will be well remembered
by the readers of this paper.
The grand jury found five indictments
against Williams. One for attempted
rape. one for destruction of property,
and three for assault with intent to kill.
The persons named in the indictments
for "attempt to kill, were Miss Mary
Hayward, Miss Florence Hayward, and
their father, George Hayward, Esq.
The evidence was SO overwhelming
against Williams that his counsel adj
vised him to plead guilty to four of the
charges. On the charge of destroying
property the State declined to prosecute.
The Court sentenced him TO 10 years
for attempted rape, 20 years for assault
ing with intent to kill Miss Florence
Hayward, 20 years for assaulting with
intent to kill Miss Mary Hayward and
20 years for assaulting with intent to
kill Mr.. George Hayward.
Williams is Is years of age. and his
sentence means that he will serve 20
years in prison, less the time he will get
off for good behavior. If he lives that
long he will be at least SO years of age
when he is set free. Judge Jones, who
pronounced sentence, referred to the
fact that Williams had recently returned
home from the House of Correction,
where he had served time for attempting
a criminal assault upon his grandmother,
where he could not attempt any more
crimes.
