CHAUTAUQUA CLOSED
MONDAY NIGHT LAST
Large Audience Present To Witness
Closing Attraction. viii Re-
turn Next Year.

Monday evening last saw the clos
irg hours of the Pocomol1e Chautau-
qua for it's 1921 session, it being the
tenth anniversary of the enterprise
in this city. The attraction for the
evening was the White Hussars and
Judging from the general comment
tho best was saved for the last. While
al of the attractions for the week
were good, still it was the opinion
that the closing number was the
lest. And from a point of numbers
the audience that evening was much
larger than at any session during
the entire week.
1t will be remembercr that the
program of last year did not come up
TIC the standard and it looked for a
while as if Pocomoke might be drop
ped from the list of ChautauTla
towns. The guarantors were inform
ed that the attractions This year
would measure up to the standard
and under this promise the contract
was signed for 1921. And the man
agemcnt was correct in its promise
for they gave us attractions that met
with public favor and brought Chau-
tauqua back to normal in Pocomokc
City.
That this is true was evidenced by
the fact that before the closing hours
on Monday night DR.. N. r. Sart9l-
ious, acting for the guarantors, came
to the stage and announced that the
Chautauqua was an assured fact for
our town for the year 1922. His an
nouncement was received with rounds
OF applause by the vast audience as
stmbled under the tent as we'll as by
the Chautauqua authorities. This
means Chautauqua for Pocomokc for
1922.

John Pilchard."
The defense claims that when Mr..
John Pilchard appeared on the scene
he discovered that a general Traces
was going on and that several color
Cd men had his brother William on
the ground beating him severely.
Stephen Long was in the crowd and
il is alleged had knife in his hand.
Long, it is claimed, then paid his at
tention more particularly to Mr..
John Pilchard and if the accused did
tbs cutting as is charged by the
States witnesses, it is claimed that
he did it in self-defense.
The affair as we have said, caused
much sorrow in this community. Such
occurrences are rare in this section
and in fact We have never heard of
enc similar to it. The Pilchards, both

beth middle aged men and both have
families.
Stephen H, Long, as a colored resi-
dent of our town, has always had the
respect and esteem of our people gen
orally. He, too, was a man of quiet
and inoffensivc disposition and the
community mourns the fact that he
should meet such a tragic death.
Longs remains were inferred
Tuesday afternoon and large num-
Der Of colored people from all sec
irons Of the State as we'll as many
from adjoining states, were present.
Mr.. Pilchard is still in the county

Hamilton Mclnness, fnsurrcnt candi

Borough President of Brooklyn, was 81
lent yesterday regarding the charge
made by George W. Baker IT, son Of
the organization candidate for Borough
President, George w. Baker that he
was an enrolled voter Of New Rochelle
and had voted in New Rochelle las;
year.
Mclnness cvaded the charge in a
statement which he issued in reply, say
ing that he was bona fde resident OF
Brooklyn and had voted there for ten
years, was born and educated in Brook-
Ign, married there, and that daughter
was born to him there. He insisted
that he merely had summer residence
in New ochelle
Mclnness. however. made no mention
of where he voted last year, nor did he
deny the charge that he had voted in
W estchester County last year
Baker. his opponent is on a trip to
the Pacific Coast, but both his son and
the Republican County chairman lost 40
time in defending MIN.
Il assume that the charge that Mr..
McInness lived in Westchester S true. >"
said Chairman Livingstone "Since
Brooklyn has been a borough il has
never had to 20 outside of its borough
for a president | see no reason why
any enrolled Republican should vote for
a nonresident in preference to d resi-
dent. While the law does not conten-
plate any residential qualifications it
is always assumed that a'carpet- Dagger
is unwelcome.'

Members TO From Is 10 25
Not a Debating Society


WASHINGTON, Aug. %. Plans for
President Hardings national confer
ence on unemployment probably Will
be completed in time to permit the
gathering to meet here by the middle
of September, it was sail to-day by
Secretary Hoover, who has been
charged with the conference arrange
ments.
Mr.. Hoover said it was ho7cl to limit
the conference to from fifteen TO TWEEN
ty~hve members, representing the toun-
try geograph ically. A small number is
permit of constructive work and to
avoid "a debating society"
Controversial questions. such as the
closed shop, wages or conditions Of la
Dor also will be avoided By The confer
ence, the Secretary asserted, dding
chat the aim of the conference would
he definite program Of unity of ac-
ton by industry and TIE community
to relieve the unemployment situation
throughout the country.
The conference, Mr. Hoover said,
may continue for some time, IS it viii
be necessary to make a survey of the
employment by bread winners. Late
ployment statistics of the Labor
Department have placed the number out
OF work in the country at about $780,
600. Mr.. Hoover to-day expressed tne
belief cat a close study Of conditions
would reveal a somewhat ~ allei to-
tal. During the time G. high wages
in 1920, lie said. numbers Of people, in
some cases four or five in one family,
were 1t work, but not from necessity.
All Of these could not be placed on the
unemp loyment lists, he said.
Mr.. Hoover said it was not planned
to make the conference a meeting of
capital and labor, but to work out
through efficient representation OF the
different sections of the country what
can be done by each branch of the
major industries, by PUBLIC officials and
by the community at large to provide
employment for the workers during the
winter
