ON EXTRA SESSION

Governor Ritchie announces he is
continuing his investigation to deter
mine whether an extra session of the
Legislature will be needed. He has
boen seeking the views of all sorts OF
men connected directly and indirectly
with politics in order to ascertain
whether an extra session really is
needed to provide additional oppor-
tunity for registering women voters,
and also has meen seeking the views
of the public generally. Probably he

FETE AT ROUND BAY

Today's, rains failed TO put dam
per on the plans of the committee of
the Round Bay Community Club for
the carnival and festival in upper
Severn river this afternoon and to-
night. This announcement was made
by members of the committee at noon,
although it was not expected that the
number of entries in the several
aquatic events would be as great, nor
the attendance as large. as had been
anticipated.
The events of the regatta are book
ed to start at 2:30 O'Clock, and it was
stated by member of the committee
that all would be run off unless a
heavy downpour of rain should set in.
All of the fun and frolic that had been
arranged for the picnicers ashore, of
course, was abandoned, but it is an
nounced that the scheduled dance in
the pavilion tonight will be held. and
it is expected this will draw a large
crowd of persons from surrounding
sections who delight in tripping the
light fantastic.

HURT IN AUTO
ACCIDENT TODAY
Boyd Farinholt Badly Cut When
Car Collided With Pole On
College Avenue

Boyd Farinholt. employed by the
Meredith-Healy lumber company, mar
rowly escaped serious injury shortly
before IL o'clock this morning when
an automobile which he was driving
south on College avenue, collided with
a telephone pole at the intersection
of the avenue and Bladen street
Farinholt's right index finger was
cut to the bone on the second joint,
and he suffered bruises about the body
and was severely shaken up. He went
to the Emergency Hospital for treat
ment. The car, new one. owned by
w. Garland Healy, a member OF the
firm, was partly demolished.
The accident is said to have been
largely the result OF the efforts of
Mr.. Farinholt to avoid a collision with
a delivery dray, driven by colored
man, which was about to turn into
the avenue from Bladen street. Far
inholt drew the car as far as pos
sible to the right side of the street,
and it swerved into the pole. The
wind shield was shattered and the
right hind wheel OF the car was torn
asunder. That Mr.. Farinholt was not
more seriously hurt by the flying
glass, was remarkable.

Another slashing crowd was at
tracted to the carnival grounds last

TO REORGAN|zE GIRLS
AND BOYS CLUBS FOR
PURPOSES OF SAVING

Annapolis school boys and girls will
re-organize their savings clubs i'm
mediately after the opening of school
here, according to definite announce
ment made today by the educational
division OF the district War Loan Or
ganization. Plans have been made to
continue the work through the com
ing school year. More than eleven
thousand savings clubs have been
formed in the schoolrooms of the filth
feedral reserve district since the be-
ginning of the work in 1913
BY means of these clubs the chill
dren have learned habits of thrift
which it is proposed to make even
more lasting by continuation of the
work this year. Members of savings
societies pledge themselves to earn
and save money regularly, no matter
how small the amounts, and to invest
at least part of their savings in Thrift
and War Savings Stamps.
Many youngsters who never saved
penny in their lives haye acquired the
saving habit through their clubs, and
hae developed lively interest, the
records show, in making money of
their own. A banking system has
been devised so that depositors are
given penny and nickel savings books,
in which the teacher, who acts as
treasurer, credits each child with the
amounts saved These books, when
full. are exchanged for twenty-five
cent Thrift Stamps.

SPECIAL FROM FLORENCE

During the high wind which
was blowing Tuesday, the home
of w. D. Steen caught fire and
was a total loss Within an hour.
The SCOT in the chimney caught
from small blaze in the fire
place, and is supposed to- have
fallen into the upper room and
waited about by strong draught.
Only a part Of the household eff
fects was saved. Mr.. Steen had
no insurance, and to build the
same house now with the same
quality of lumber would cost
probably $4,000. The wind car
ried burning bits of shingles long
distances, and Mrs. Wayne Sutton's
barn caught fire, but the fire was
imme9 lately extinguished.
Mrs. Sutton and Mr.. and Mrs.
Steen wish to heartily thank all,
both white and black who assisted
so willingly in saving what they
could.

DEATH OF A GOOD MAN.

The hearts of our people were
saddened yesterday morning when
the news spread over the COM
munity that Mr.. Wellington Wad-
dell had passed away.
He had been indisposed for sew
eral days, but his friends had no
idea that the end was so near,
and his sudden death was severe
shock.
The end came Wednesday morn
ing at 4:3O while he was seated
by his fireside. He awakened
early and complained Of being I'm.
able to rest. and said that he be-
ieved that he could rest better
sitting up. Mrs. Waddell prepar-
ed a chair and fire for him, and he
insisted that he would be all right
and for her to go to sleep. IN a.
bout 80 minutes, she heard him
gasping for breath. and arising
found her husband on the floor,
in a dying condition. Help was
summoned as quickly as possible,
but all that loving hands and
hearts could do was of no avail,
and he gently and sweetly passed
from death unto life.
Mr.. Waddell was in his 18th
year, and so far as we are able to
say, that ~ years were spent in q
manner in which all men should
live consecrated, every day
christian life. We do not believe
the man ever spoke an i'll word Of
anyone, and so far avs it was in
his power did unto others as he
would have others do unto him.
He believed firmly in the efica-
cy Of prayer, and always spent q
few minutes on Bonded knees be-
fore the family altar, communing
with the Savior he loved SO we'll.
On the night Of his death it was
great physical effort for him to
get down on his knees for his
usual supplication, but he did SO,
and prayed long and fervently.
The Master granted his wish so
often expressed that when the end
came he would be relieved Of long
suffering, and pass out suddenly.
