AN EXPLANATION OF
THE AUTO ACCIDENT

In the Messenger last week we
gave an account of the accident on
the Pocomoke load, near Johnson's
Neck, obtained from several sources.
Mr.. William Harris, Senior, says the
statements are somewhat erroneous,
that his son, William Harris, carried
six children to Salisbury for the game
there and three of them took part,
William Harris playing first base for
Snow Hill in the game with Sails
bury. On the return to Snow Hill
and near Johnson's Neck, young
Harris saw bright headlights, and
thought he was meeting a car. He
took to his side of the road, not see
ing any danger signal, and before he
knew what had happened he had
smashed into the rear of Halls bus.
As a matter of fact, when Young
Harris left Princess Anne he had his
lights on and other cars on the road
were carrying lights; so when he
reached Johnson's Neck, it was not
only dark, but cloudy.

Tarr, Of Stockton, were guests of Mr..
and Mrs. X. +. Clarke the first of the
week.
MIR. Curtis +. Riley. of near New
ark, lost two valuable mules this
week. As the cause Of their death
was unknown, he caused one of the
mules to be disemboweled, and found
that death had been undoubtedly
caused by the larvae or bots of the
botfly, dipterous insect that infests
the horse. The eggs of the botfly are
usually laid on the forelegs or Shout
ders of the animal, and when mature,
hatch, If licked by the animal. The
larvae, called bots, are thus taken
into the stomach or intestines, where
they live until ready to change into
pupas. The stomach of the animal
was literally alive with these insects.
Mr.. Riley brought dozen or more of
them in a can to Snow Hill Thursday
night, and they were still alive and
kicking. They were about half inch
long, the color of potato bug, and
twice as large.
-Seaford packers who deal in crab
meat have been warned by the United
States Government that in the future
all crab meat cans must be branded
accurately with the kind or quality of
meat the can contains. In other words
if the brand on the can says Lump
Meat" the contents must be lump
meat, and not the run of the crab.
This order will mean that lump, flake,
and claw meat must be carefully
separated in the future, and the cans
containing same branded accordingly.

GROTTO HAS BEEN
 NAMED 4KAMRAM'
Playground for Master Ma sons Is Purpose of New
 Organization

Birmingham's new Grotto, an or ganization for Master Masons, has been named "Kamram." which in Per sian language, means Prince. It is said to be especially fitting, as it not only rhymes with Birmingham, but has a meaning that 1t is e&pected will apply to all it's members.
 The hundred members necessary to institute the Grotto has almost been secured. c. D. Gentry has been se- lected as the first monarch; J. l.. Hagy, chief justice; W. E. Wayman, master of ceremonies; c. w. Noel. treasurer, and Albert l.. Reece, tenn porary secretary
 Information regarding the organi- zation may be had from any of the above officers, who will furnish application blanks to any Master Ma son. Meetings will be held Monday and Friday nights at the Masonic temple.
 The grand monarch. F. Craig Pe- louse of Richmond, Va, has written that he will probably come to the city Go institute the Grotto. In the event he cannot come. Lamar Fields of Montgomery, who is a member of the supreme council, will act as his dep uty.
 The grand monarch, in writing about the purpose of the organiza- tion, says: The Grotto is the play ground of Master Masons, where we meet and forget our business wor- ries and cares. become happy boys again. The ceremonies abound in innocent fun. The Grotto teaches us to forget the title of Mr. to call each other by our first names. Our watchword is good fellowship"
