COMMUNITY SHOW TO
Be HELD in SNOW HILL
County Agent Oswald Will Be In
Charge. TO Be Staged Next
Month.

The first step toward the establish
ment of the Annual Community Show
III Snow Hill was taken last week
when representatives of different in
terests met for the purpose of organ
izing at the Deposit and Savings
Bank in Snow Hill. The meeting was
called to order by E. l. Oswald, Coun-
ty Agent, who said that there was a
great deal of sentiment for commu-
hity show.
William H. Holloway, of Newark,
Nd, was elected president of the fair
association. In taking the chair Mr..
Holloway mad, an appeal for assist
ance in making the show good one.
William H. Price was chosen secre-
tary.
1t is planned TO hold the show on
November "a and rs in the court
house. AS an added feature of the
show this year It is planned to have a
baby show for infants ranging be-
tween the ages of months and 2
years and it is anticipated that this
feature will do much to work up in
terest.
1t is planned to have booth to rep
resent each community from which
exhibits are sent. This was the sug-
gestion of Miss Frances Hancock, of
Girdletree. Miss Hancock has just
returned from the Eastern States Ex-
position at Springfield, Mass, where
she was one of the representatives of
Worcester county.
A special drive will be made tow
ard getting greater financial assist
ance than was procured last year. The
assistance given by the State is very
small and that makes it necessary tU
solicit money and premiums from To-
cal sources. Last year the banks
contributed, as did most of the mer-
chants.
There will be large number of en-
tries and it is hoped that the COM
mittees will be able to make the priz-
es more substantial
The work of arranging the exhibits
and obtaining entries will be under
the general supervision of Mr.. Oswald
ard Miss Lucy Walters, the county
home demonstrator.

Democratic Rally
In NeW City Hall

On another page will be found an
advertisement of a Democratic Rally
to be held in the City Hall next Tues
day evening at 7.30 o'clock. Such
meetings have lost much of their for
mer character, and now instead of be-
ing on the spell-binding order, a more
sedate tone is manifest. Speakers con-
fine themselves to intelligent discus
sion of state questions, and appeal to
Judgment rather than to emotion.
The speakers OF the evening will be
men of prominence in State and Nat
ional politics. You cannot spend an
evening more pleasantly than in list
ening to them talk. Come out ami
hear them. Don't allow what seems
TO be a settled democratic victory this
year to engender in you apathy or in
difference. Elections are not won till
the ballots are counted. Give Judge
Johnson and Hons. Miles and Colds
borough a large audience.

LOCAL BASE BALL CLUB
SEEKING NEW MANAGER
Negotiations In Progress With Base
Ball Mentor OF Wide Reputa-
tion And Ability.

Negotiations are in progress to Sc
cure manager for the Pocomoke City
base ball team for the season of 1929.
Should these prove successful in land
in the man wwhom the management is
seeking, the Eastern Shore League
will not have in it's employ one better
qualified for the position. 1t is thought
better, just at present, not to reveal
his name; but should he consent to
come to Pocomoke, our team will have
at it's head a mentor of wide expert
ence in handling men, not only in a
base ball way, but in other capacities.
AS a base ball general, he has worked
with both professional and amateur
organizations, has trained teams
working under the National Agree
ment, Independent teams, and college
boys. He has trained men in army
ranks. going through the whole late
unpleasantness in France, and rising
He is a splendid disciplinarian,
to high rank in the army.
works his men in such way as to
keep them always in the highest state
of efficiency, and he seems always
to get the best out of them. He in
sists upon correct habits of living, and
will not countenanee any violations of
orders. He is a genial gentleman
himself, wants gentleman ball players
with whom to work; and believes such
ball team can be gotten together a.
can compete with the best.
He is constantly in touch with tbs
best material of the class he desires
and NJ doubt he can put winning
team in Poconloke.
Prospects look bright for his en-
gagement. Let us hope they will ma
terialize.

Mrs. E. c. MacMichol Died
Thursday AT Cambridge

Mr.. and Mrs. E. ], Tull have receiv-
ed word of the death of Mrs. Mac
Nichol, widow of the late Rev. E, C..
MacNichol, former pastor of Salem
M. E. Church, of this city, last Thurs
DAY.
Mr.. and Mrs. MacNichol were held
in high esteem during their lstay in
Pocomoke City. He was one of the
foremost preachers of the Wilmington
Conference; a man of sound logical
mind, of more than average oratorical
ability, a splendid mixer among men,
and withal man of useful influence
wherever he lived.
Mrs. MacNichol was worthy help
meet, and endeared herself to this
community. She has lived since hei
husbands death in Cambridge, Md
She will be buried at Magnolia, Del.
where her husband lies.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS In
HOUSE PUT AT 100
Maryland Is Counted On To Supply
3, Ohio IA, New York ii And
Missouri 10.

Democratic gains of approximate!
100 members-which would give the
next House Of Representatives a DEM
ocratic majority-were estimated Sat-
urday by a Representative James V.
McClintic, of Oklahoma, chairman of
the speakers bureau for his party.
Chairman McClintic picks "a States,
including Maryland, from which re-
ports indicate gain. These predicted
gains range from Ia in Ohio, IL lin
New York and 10 in Missouri to one
each in such States as Utah, Massa-
chusetts a ! Iowa.
In Mary nd the Democrats are
claiming they will gain three seats
and appear to be figuring on changes
in the Second, Third and Fifth dis
tricts.
There are now 131 Democrats in
the House and a gain of 100 would
give the party membership of 231
However, the Democrats expect to
lose a member here and there in
States other than the "a named, 81
their closer figures are Democrats
223; Republicans, 212, in the next
House. Republican headquarters jus'
as confidently predict they will re-
tain control of the House by a major
ity ranging from so to rs.
According to Representative Nc
Clintic, "spell of cold weather" just
before election day will materially aic
the Democratic party. The Oklahomar
figures that freeze along the frs
week in November will remind the
voters of empty or near empty Goa
bins and the Republican Administra
ton will be blamed for not settling
the coal strike in the early summer.
"If there is a freeze-up" contends
Representative McClintic, "the people
will then realize who is responsible
for the shortage. In addition to othe
shortcomings of the Republican Ad
ministration the country will be re
minded that it failed to function AM
bring about an earlier settlement o
the coal strike, and this realization
will help the Democratic party"

STATE ASKS REMOVAL
OF JONES MURDER CASE
Granting OF Request For Change
OF Venue In Jones Trial Held
Almost Unprecedented.

The October session of Court for
Worcester county adjourned at Snow
Ell Monday last, having disposed of
all the cases set for trial except one.
This is the case of Charles E. Brown
indicted for murder. 1t was impos-
sible to try this case, according to tn
prosecutor, because Lieutenant Pep
persack, of the State police force,
W would be unable to atte nd court before
the end of the week.
His testimony is indispensable to
the States case because he was the
officer who directed all the investiga-
tion and gathered most of the evil
dence against the accused.
Another development in the court
proceedings was the removal of the
case of Edward Jones, indicted for
murder. This turn of the case came
as a great surprise to many who We're
interested in the case, because, altho
there was rumor circulated somt
time back that the State would re
quest removal, it was thought that
such an idea had been abandoned. AL
though it is quite an ordinary thing
for the defendant to file a suggestion
of removal it is the opinion of legal
talent that such procedure on the part
OF the State is unprecedented in Wor-
cester county and that such action has

By defeating Buckingham High
School of Berlin on Tuesday, POGO
roke High School remains tied with
Snow Hill for first place in the county
championship soccer race, Stockton
giving it's game to Snow Hill without
playing, seeing that they were hope
lessly outclassed.
The game was a thrilling one from
histle to whistle and was played be-
fcre a large crowd of spectators. Ber-
| lin won the toss and chose the north
goal with Pocomoke kicking off. The
hall was soon brought in Pocomoke's
tt rritory and there stayed until Payne
fumbled and Outright shot 1t through
tie bars for the first score of the
game. From then on it was battle
royal, the ball going up and down the
field until Thompson passed from
across the field to Wardwell, who shot
for goal, tieing up the count at one
all, and no further scoring being made
during the first half.
The second half was vastly differ
ent from the first. Pocomoke, kicking
with the wind, took the ball into Ber-
Inns territory and kept it there for
nearly the remainder of the game,
during which time some wonder ex-
hibitions of passing was given by the
Pocomoke forward line, which kept
hammering at Berlin's goal until they
made their second score of the after
noon. Love and Redden in the back
