CORMAN, N,LEE,POE
HARRINGTON
And Ritchie viii Address The
Big Meeting Here on
Thursday Next.

Arrangements for the big meeting to
be held in Snow Hill October 26th, in
the afternoon are now being completed.
The committee in charge is working
hard to see that everything shall be in
readiness for the big gathering and it
looks like it will be great Democratic
day for Snow Hill.
The meeting here will be addressed by
the most prominent speakers in Mary
land. Senator German. candidate for
Governor and other State candidates
will of course be here, and the commit
tee has received word from Senator
Blair Lee that he will be in Snow Hill
on this occasion to address the meeting.
Senator Lee is now touring the State
with Senator German and is making
some telling speeches for the State
ticket. He says there is nothing in
voting the Republican ticket. that we
tried it once in Maryland and that it
failed to bring about the desired results.
His advice to the Democrats of the State
is to stick to their party and elect the
State ticket, and then let US work out
any needed reforms within our own party
and he is sounding the right note in this
advice.
1t is clear to any thinking man that
the white people of Maryland do not
want any repetition of the conditions
which followed the election of Lowndes
in 1895 because we would certainly have
the same condition with Goldsborough
as Governor. He was one of the gang
which secured a foothold in 1895. and he
has not improved any politically since
then.
Let every Democrat in Worcester
County come TO Snow Hill on the Goth,
and let US make it a memorable day for
the Democracy of the county.

Some persons want to know why
the big Democratic meeting next Thurs
day will not be held in the Court House.
The reason the State Central Committee
secured the Opera House was because
the County Commissioners passed an
order sometime back that the Court
Room should be used for no other pur-
pose except for holding Court, since
which time the rule has been strictly
adhered to. and henceforth no political
meetings for any party will be allowed
in the Court Room

FIDDLED JURY TO SLEEP
cass County Man Owns a Violin
With Unique
History.

Ottawa, (Ill) Republican: Ole
Johnson, janitor at the courthouse
Thursday discovered violin, or a
fiddle. the janitor didn't know ex-
actly which. resting peacefully
on the top OF telephone booth on
the third floor Of the courthouse.
Who owned the fiddle? Where did
1t come from? These were questions
Ole asked, but not until he met Deputy
Sheriff Joe Hitter did he get any in
formation. Hitter told the whole story
after Ole promised not to tell.
About q year ago a jury in a Grim
inal case In charge OF Hitter, ex-
pressed desire to attend a theatre
Hitter couldn't take the jury to a
place OF amusement, but he remem-
bered that Deputy Sheriff l. w. Brewe
had a violin in the sherirfs office.
In the quiet hours Of the night Hitter
stole down the sairs and In a few min
utes he was saving away on Turkey
in the Straw, The Arkansas Traveller,
Irish Washer Woman, and other
classics, such as he had learned down
In Otter Greek township.
When the concert was over Hitter
laid the violin on top OF the tele-
phone booth and-forgot 1t. He then
stole back to the jury room and
found-that he had fiddled the whole
bunch to sleep.
When Brewe resigned his place in
the sheriffs office to move to Fargo,
n. D.. he hunted for his violin with
search warrant, but was unable 10
locate 1t, and the instrument will be
shipped to him at once.

Hand to him the mazuma
And get in with the bunch.
If not, you'll get a letter
That'll will make you sore as-well,
Come on now, with the panga,
The rhyme, you then can tell.
Somehow, there's always fellows
Who'd rather dig up last.
They hate to part with money
Till every chance Is past.
On the square, the "sec" is serious,
Dig up boys, now is the time;
Boost and shout for old two-sixty,
Singing with us "Aul Lang Syne."
