Beer
FOR THE SICK
RenOuncing Former Policy Is
Practically Decided On BY
Secretary Treasury.

Washington, June Secretary of
tie Treasury Mellon has given new
ray of hope for medicinal beer. He
said he favored making beer available
for the sick, regardless Of what Con-
gresS does with the Volstead bill to
outlaw malt liquors.
Reversal of the former policy of
the Treasury to withhold regulations
for the manufacture and sale of beer
on doctors prescription was practi-
cally decided upon by Mr.. Mellon.
Interpret Law As II Stands.
Secretary Mellon was informed that
the VolStead amendment forbidding
beer may not be acted upon finally
for six weeks or possibly two months.
He conferred with his advisers and
the conclusion was reached, that, ir-
respective of what Congress does,
there should be no further delay in
making the Department of Justice
ruling operative.
In this decision the Treasury chief
overruled prohibition and Revenue
Bureau chiefs. who urged delay in
promulgating regulations until Con-
gress decides the beer issue.
Legal advisers of the Treasury were
of the opinion that the Administration
should not anticipate what Congress
may or may not do. but should inter-

Feast Of Eats; Flow Of Eloquence

Witty Toass-l95 Members and Friends Present

The true Snow Hill spirit was mani
Tested and reigned supreme at the
Opera House Tuesday night, the occa-
sion being the banquet of the Snow
Hill High School Alumni Association.
Many well known colleges and univer-
sites were represented in the gather
ing, but these were forgotten in the
pleasure of greeting old friends and
renewing old acquaintances, the minds
of all barking back to the halcyon days
when they were happy and care-free
boys and girls in the Snow Hill High
School, and everybody became Child
just again for the night"
The color scheme was yellow and
white, and the tables were lighted
with candles. Covers were laid for
one hundred ninetyfive guests. the
gathering being the largest in the his
tory of the association. The various
committees performed wonders in
working out the details of the banquet.
and its great success is due to their
untiring efforts. The entertainment
committee, composed of Miss Lucille
Collins. Miss Mollie Coulbourn. Miss
Emily Dryden, Miss Sallie Sterling
and Mr. Newell NJ. Corddry arranged
the program. and the applause with
which each member was received bore
eloquent testimony to the success of
their efforts.
Mr.. John W. Station was the preSi-
dent of the Alumni Association, and
Miss Elizabeth S. Richardson, the
secretary treasurer. During the sven
ing the association was reorganized
with the following officers: Mr.. Newell
VI. Corddry, president; Miss Lucille

Mrs. Walter c. Turner. Prof. Thomas
H. Spence, and Miss Mary A. Town
send.
Mr.. Newell NJ Corddry was the
toastmaSter. and he performed his
difficult role with ease and grace, his
introductions being polished, witty,
and to the point.
The first number on the program
was song. "The Old High School"
which was sung in spirited manner
to the tune of 1.-The Old Gray Mare"
An examination la Edison was
then conducted. consisting of a series
of thirty questions. The papers were
judged according to the cleverness
and not the correctness of the an
Swcrs, the award being made to Mrs.

applause and approval of the audi
ence.
Some of the questions and answers
were as follows: "Why is banquet?
"To assemble modern and antiques? ?"
"What is Volstead?" "The man who
popularized the song" How dry am"
"Who was Betsy Ross ?" "The woman
for whom every man stands" "Who is

does not understand his theories, ad-
mires." "Who is Carpenter" "The
Frcnchman who loves PUNCH"

who hitched to Saturday evening
POST" "Who is Lev Airey?" "Thc
author of three little ships out on the
sea" "Who was Polk Turpin?" "Ex-
Mayor of Public Landing" "ln what
state is there the most Happiness ?"
The answers to this ranged from
courtship, and single bleSsedncss to
matrimony, the youngsters prcSum-
ably preferring courtShip, the old
maids and bachelors (if any were
presently clnging to their single state.
and the welded couples championing
matrimony.
Following the distribution Of the
questionnaireS. Miss Emily Dryden, n
teacher in the High School. delighted
the audience by her charming rendi-
ion of tkc song. Evening Brings
Rest and You" The words of the
song were written by Mrs. Benton II.
Whaley, also a teacher in the High
School.
The next number was a drill by
Twelve Tiny Tots" the Tiny Tots"
being twelve healthy, full grown
ladies and gentlemen. who responded
to the invitation of the toastmaster
with limerick, Mr.. Corddry prefac-
ing his goodnatured thruSts with a
limerick of his own coinage The
prize verse was written by Mrs. Thos.
p. Wharton. of Stockton. who was
crowned with laurel wreath. Mrs.
Wharton's limerick was as follows:
This town has charm that's not found
everywhere,
The people who live here are true and
sincere;
I'd like to suggest,
To add to the rest,
A good road to bring us here.
The sentiment expressed in Mrs.
Wharton'S lines struck chord OF
popular favor, and so vocferously was
she applauded that she was obliged
to respond with a second verse, which
ran as follows:
You may brag on old Yale, if you will;
On Harvard. or Princeton-but still,
The school that is dearest,
And to our hearts nearest
Is the High School in dear Snow Hill.

fore, Mr.. 7. Howard Collins, president

Resisting Officer.

Three white men, Josh Bean,
Ed. Keller and Walter Pate, will
be given a hearing before Squire
Mullis Friday on a very serious
charge. 1t is that of resisting an
officer, assaulting an officer and
carrying concealed weapons.
The trouble occurred at the
circus grounds Tuesday when a
specially deputized officer, John
Woodle, ATTEMPTED to arrest Josh
Bean who was either drunk or
pretty full, and who, according 70
the officer, had a knife out after
a circus employee. Keller accord
ing to the officer, hit him (the
officer in the head with a pistol
when he ATTEMPTED t. arrest Bean.
In the general melee that follow
ed, the officers clothes were torn
and his face made bloody.
Emerging from the encounter
he came to town and notified the
Sheriff. Sheriff Mcdonald with
several deputies soon located the
men in the road towards the mill,
and Bean leveled an automatic
shotgun on the Sheriff when that
official started toward him. He
was finally induced to drop the
gun and submit to arrest.
Later-Thc paper understands
that Keller left by rail Wednes-
day, with no forwarding address.

The road that Supt. Baldwin
recently completed from Hamlet
towards Gibson, with the chain.
gang, is without doubt one OF
the best pieces of sand clay road
at the present time in the State,
1t is clayed the entire width OF
the road, and cost something like
$500 per mile. This road is in
striking contrast to the road
leading from Hamlet to Hoffman
which was let to contractors
under Federal supervision at
cost of about $4,000 per mile.

in the opera house last Friday
night, directed by a Mr.. Art La
Man, who dropped off here from
the Pickert Stock Co. several
weeks, ago 1t was given under
the name of the Rockingham
Band, but as a matter of fact the
band boys lost something like a
dollar. The receipts amounted
to $2l5, out of which the rental
|of the costumes ($79), the board
and expenses of the advertising
director, house rental etc had to
come. All remaining after these
expenses was to be divided $3.50
between Band and director, but
there wasn't any core"
The admission was $1.10, which
was rather high and probably ac.
counted for the comparatively
small house. The features Of
the show was,the Hamlet quar-.
tette, the buck dancing Of Johnsie
McAulay and the black-face
work of Jimmie Fowlkes,
The Band boys deserve to be
helped; they have practiced faith
fully this past year and have "a

help them financially, for. they
