PROHIBITION DIRECTOR TO
SPEAK in RISING SUN.

Hon. John F. Kramer, who served
as the first Prohibition Director
after the enactment of the Federal
Amendment. will deliver an address
in the public hall at Rising Sun on
Thursday evening, April 20. Mr..
Kramer is a speaker of National
fame and will give his auditors first
hand information relative to Prohi-
bition Enforcement, and other mat
ters pertaining to the Volstead Act,
and it is safe to say he will put a
different phase on the matter than
the garbled and misleading stuff
published broadcast by a liquor sub
sidized daily press, which is doing
the bidding of the bootleggers and
law-violators, and boasting about It..
The public is cordially invited to
attend the meeting Thursday eve
ming and hear Mr.. Kramer, who is a
fine speaker, and will tell facts
about the Prohibition law.

SCHOOL CHILDREN BITTEN BY
MAD DOG.

A shepherd dog belonging to-
Howard Brosius, went mad on Mon
day and entering one of the rooms or
Avondale, Pa, public school, bit six.
of the children before it could be-
driven out.
The animal ran into one of the
lower grades in the building, where
it bit the children. The teacher
managed to get the pupils out of the
room and in the meantime some OF
the older boys came from the upper
grades. Ralph Richardson went
into the room and finally got the
dog out, but not until he had been
badly bitten. The animal was kill
ed and the head sent away for ex-
animation. On Tuesday, word came
that the dog had rabies in its most
dangerous form. Arrangements are
being made whereby all the children
bitten will be treated to the rabies
preventative serum at the West
Grove Hospital.

MARRIAGE BILL VETO SOUGHT.
Cecil County Residents See Governor
And Oppose Measure.


And Oppose Measure.
Senator Tydings of Hartford coun-
ty and several residents of Elkton,
Cecil county, on Monday saw Cover
nor Ritchie to ask him to veto the
Marriage Bill introduced. by Senator
Cantwell of Cecil county. AS finally
passed, the measure applies to only
three counties-Cecil, Montgomery
and Somerset. 1t requires that in
these counties, in the case of non
residents. marriage license shall
not be issued until 4S hours from
the time of application.
Senator Tydings feared that the
Cantwell bill, should it become a
law, would transfer "Gretna Green"
from Elkton to Bel Air. Joshua
Clayton, an Elkton lawyer, and
other speakers considered the meas
ure discriminatory" That condi-
tions are disgraceful was denied by
the speakers, but that they are dis
graceful is fact that is well known
to residents throughout this county
the speakers to the contrary not
withstanding.
The number of marriage licenses
issued annually in Elkton was esti-
mated at about $500 by w. L. Lewis,
Clerk of the Court, who. was a mem
ber of the protesting delegation that
visited the Governor. This number
it was explained, includes licenses
issued to residents of the county.
The Governor did not indicate
whether he will sign OF veto the bill.

RUN ON BANK CAUSES MERGER.
Chesapeake City Bank Absorbed BY
ElktOn Trust Co.

Much excitement prevailed in
Chesapeake City on Friday, when a
rumor was circulated that business
concern of that town, which had a
large amount of paper in the First
National Bank of Chesapeake City
was about to go into the hands OF
receivers. A run on the bank fol-
lowed for several hours and would
have resulted in the Institution clos
ing but for the Elkton Banking and
Trust Company, which sent sufficient
cash to meet the emergency.
A Wilmington trust company also
sent many thousands of dollars to
tide over the demand made by the
excited depositors. The bank kept
open its doors until 6 o'clock Friday
evening. When the depositors were
satisfied that their money was safe,
the run ceased.
The furry, however, resulted in an
agreement being reached between
the Elkton Banking and Trust Com
pany and the Chesapeake City Ma
tional Bank whereby the Elkton in
stitution has taken over the Chesa-
peake City bank and guarantees ali
deposits.
This merger will result in making
the Elkton Trust Company the
largest financial institution in the
county.
