Pocomoke Club Preparing
For Coming Ball Season

The Pocomoke City Base Ball fans
are making preparations for the COM
ing seasons sport and from the inter-
est that is being taken in it we pre-
dict that it will prove not only an in
teresting but a profitable enterprise
so far as our town is concerned. At
a meeting of the Pocomoke Base Ball
Club held on Monday evening last it
was decided to have the players all
report for duty about June 1. At this
time they will begin to practice for
the seasons work and it is expected
that we will give the other members
of the league hard chase for the
championship. At the same meeting
the matter of painting the fence a
round the park and the grand stand
was discussed and it is sure that this,
as we'll as other needed improvements,
will be made to the plant. We are in
it now and nothing must be left I'M
done to make the seasons sport one of
success.

MEANDERINCS OF A MILDLY
MILITANT MIND
TWO QUESTIONS
TWO QUESTIONS

There is a philosophy which teaches
that the purpose of existence is the
possession of happiness. / forget It's
rame, and if ! recalled it, its u.s.
would in all likelihood send you, as it
did me, scurrying to consult Webster.
The thought like fitful flame, il
lumes the work of many able writer's.
directly or indirectly, orthodox relig-
ious organizations teach it. 1t is re-
garded as a legitimate aim, thu one
thing to be striven for.
To me, it seems happiness is not so
great thing.
Achievement, expression and growth
are greater; and pain is often the
price of them.
We cannot always work un',iuder-
ed; We cannot at all times express
ourselves in joy; nor do we grow to
perfection through experiences o. un-
alleged bliss.
Yet happiness is a big factor in
life.
1t comes to us through our rela-
tionship to our fellowman, from the
depths of our intellectual, emotional
and spiritual natures, and through the
senses.
Exactly what the individual draws
from them depends upon the degree
Of his development; and where he be-
longs in the scale of human evolution
can be determined by learning what
he enjoys.
Different things bring happiness to
different people.
Some find it in the companionship
of the refined and cultured, in the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge and the ap-
probation Of the good and the beau
tiful, and in the proper use of their
faculties.
Others, knowing little or nothing of
these sources, find their happiness in
ignorance of the hest and in knowl-
edge of it's opposite.
So, happiness as goal does not
insure the leading of an upright life
or the attainment of fine character
The maXim-"Be good and you will
be happy" is misleading, for good
NESS is not inseparable from happi-
ness nor is unhappiness the constant
attendant of evil.
The pursuit of happiness has prob
ably wrought more havoc in human
affairs than anything else.
Everybody wants it, but compare

lively few have learned that it is of
two kinds, the true and the false.
Not realizing the difference, many
content themselves with counterfeits,
and counterfeits in happiness are
deadly. They retard development.
The real thing promotes it.

is enough for all.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, July 2S.-Sman tc
moderate advances were in evidence
throughout today's session in cotton, the
market being influenced by the unbroken
ar and hot spell of weather in Texas
and Oklahoma and by a favorable opinion
of tn, labor situation in this country.
The opering was higher, AMI the initial
advance lasted until about the middle of
the morning. After that less steadiness
was shown owing to the disposition to
take profits on the long side. At the
highest, October traded up to 21.07 and
the list stood at gains Of "a to 80 points.
During the second half of the session pric-
es reacted 10 to Is points from the high
est but the close showed net gains on
the day of IS to % points with October
at 21.01.
Private reports from the west claimed
that severe deterioration was under way
and this was the markets main support
after the opening. Very little attention
was paid to the weekly statistics, although
they helped to steady the tone toward
the close. The worlds visible supply of
American cotton decreased this week
by 1876, 761 bales and was reduced to 1885,
$50 bales against 3,9S2,465 a year ago,
thus fulfilling predictions made some time
ago that it would go below the two mil
lion bale mark before the end of the
season. Private bureau condition reports
Of the day ranged from ITO up to 1871,
the higher figures causing some lquida-
ton of long contracts.
