POCOMOKE CITY MAN
WILL GO TO SNOW HILL
Mr.. c. R. Higgins Has Purchased
Drug Business Of DR.. Paul Jones.
Will Move To County Seat.

Mr.. C. R. Higgins, of the firm of
W. H. Clarke & Co., this city, has
purchased the drug business of Dr.
Paul Jones in Snow Hill and will
sometime during the coming week
move to that town and take charge of
bis new purchase. Mr.. Higgins has
been in our town for the past thirteen
years and has been associated with
Mr.. w. H. Clarke in the drug business
all the while. They have seen their
business grow until they occupy a
conspicuous place among the drug
firms of the State. Mr.. Higgins will
relinquish his interest in the drug firm
here and we understand it will be TAX
en- over entirely by Mr.. Clarke, who
will continue the business just as it
has been these many years.
In the removal of Mr.. Higgins from
Pocomoke City our town suffers 4
distinct loss. He is not only good
business man thoroughly reliable in
his dealings with his fellows, but he
is socially on Of our most popular
young men-generally beloved by all
classes. Our people in all walks of
life were sorry to learn that he had
decided to leave our midst and will
join us in expressing the hope that
success may crown his endeavors.
Mr.. Higgins is no stranger in Snow
Hill and needs no introduction to the
people of that town. Prior to his
coming to Pocomokc he was engaged
in the drug business in the county
seat and he has long list of friends
there who. we are sure, will gladly
welcome him back to their midst.
And the moving of Mr.. Higgins, -
Snow Hill means that Pocomoke also
loses Mrs. Higgins and little Oracle,
together, possibly with Mrs. Hattie
King Mrs. Higgins mother. This, of
course, will be a blow to many of the
best people of our town. Few per-
sons have more friends than, Mrs.
King, Mrs. Higgins and little Oracle,
and to be separated from them will
give them much worry. However, in
days of automobiles distance does
rot amount to much and they. will
live in the hope of seeing them al
most as often as if their home were
right within our corporate limits.

Friday; Half Holiday Declared
Pocomoke Will Play First Game With Parkey On Local Diamond
Large Crowd Expected To Witness First Game Of Organ

ever fail. This being the case the
opening game is expected to be one
oil the hardest fought, ones of the en-
tire season. First blood counts, you
know. This game will undoubtedly
draw large crowds to Pocomoke City.
Being the first game the people OF
the entire shore will want to see the
line-ups of the two clubs and get an
insight into their manner of playing
ball. Pocomoke City will surely turn
cut in large numbers and we are sure
that the most of our sister town OF
Parksley will be right on the spot to
root for their team. 1t will surely be
{. big day for Focomoke City.
In order that our people generally
might be afforded chance to witness
this opening game, number of our
citizens petitioned the Mayor and
Council to declare half holiday for
Friday next. This matter was taken
up by our city fathers at a recent
meeting and the Mayor has issued a
Proclamation declaring that Friday,
June the 9th, between the hours of 3
o'clock P. NJ, and o'clock P. NJ, be a
Holiday within the Corporate limits
Of Pocomoke City, and he calls upon
all places of business within the city
to observe the same by closing as far
IS practicable. This will give all of
our people who desire to do so, a
chance to witness the game and give
our club a good sendoff and at the
same time welcome the visiting club
to the city.
Just prior to the calling of the game
q street parade will take place. The

BUILDING ACTIVITIES
In POCOMOKE CITY
Bricklayers, Carpenters And Other
Mechanics Busy Rebuilding The
Bigger And Better Town

Another week has passed and with
it great strides have been made in
the building interests IN Pocomoke
City. 1t is really wonderful what
week will bring forth. No new con-
tracts have been let this week and the
cnly buildings that are under con-
struction are the ones we reported
last week. The bricklayers now have
the walls on the E. w. Veasey store
house at the corner of Clarke avenue
and Market street beyond the second
story mark and by the end of the
coming week. if the weather continues
favorable, most of the walls will have
cen completed and ready for the
roof. Contractor Ross is keeping RICH
up with the brick masons and the
work is progressing finely.
The Davis block at the corner of
Second and Willow streets is surely
going up at a record breaking speed.
Our fellow townsman Pratt McAllen
is doing the brick work and he has
force of men who are surely bricklay-
ers. They have worked less than a
week on the job land the walls, at
least one half of them are now passed
the second floor joists. Mr. E. S.
Croswell, is the contractor for the
work and our old friend Herman Ell
lis and the other boys who work with
him are surely making busy seen IN
that section of the town. We would
rot be bit surprised to see Mr.. Dav
is the first one to move into his new
store.
Contractor w. A. Morse has been
diving away this week putting in the
cellars under the stores of r. j..
Lambden and Lloyd & Blaine, on
Market street. He has the footings
in and is now busy setting the frames
prior to pouring concrete for the side
walls. Both of these are large eel
lars and there was much excavating
to be done. A part of the week we
had heavy rains and of course work
had to be abandoned for the time be-
ing. However, all things considered,
good time has been made by Mr..
Morse and if he has no further set
back he will be ready for the brick
layers to start to laying bricks dur
ling the coming week.

Pocomoke City, with the others of
the Eastern Shore Base Ball League
is in readiness for the season which
begins on Friday next. All arrange
iuents have been completed and before
another issue of this paper the teams
will be off. Pocomoke has been for
tunate in securing the services
John B. Ryan as manager. Mr.. Ryan,
formerly of the Washington Ameri-
cans, who for a number of years has
b. en- the baseball coach at the Univer
sity of Virginia, was assigned three
months ago, since which time he has
been steadily at work securing play
ers. On May II twelve players re-
ported to Manager Ryan in Washing
ton and have been practicing daily.
They will report in Pocomoke City,
accompanied by Mr.. Ryan, on Monday
next, June the 5th. Next week, at
least four days of it, will be devoted
to practice and tryouts. On Wednes-
day afternoon at $50 o'clock IAN eX-
hibition game will be played in thi /"
town between the Pocomoke Club and
the Newark boys. This promises to
be an interesting event\as it will be
the first time our team will be seen in
real working harness. We are sure
it will draw a crowd not only from
our own town but from the surround
ing country as well.
The season opens according to
schedule on Friday afternoon next
when the Parksley Club will come to
Focomoke and battle for first honors.
There is no discounting the fact that
our Virginia friends have strong
team; they always go after the best
there is to be had and they seldom

POCOMOKE
NEGRO SHOT
Charles Ballard Killed Sunday
Last At Library Church In
Somerset County
THE OUTLAW ESCAPED
AND IS STILL AT LARGE

Another murder is charged up to
Somerset county as the result of a
large and unweildly negro gathering
On Sunday afternoon last at Lii
Erary colored church, which is located
rear Marion Station in Somerset
county, Charles Ballard, of this city,
was shot by another colored man
named Elijah Hayward, who is re-
ported to live in Somerset county
rear Green Hill. Just what caused
the occurrence no one seems to know
Tor can they find out. In converse
ton with some who were present it
was learned that no alteration at all
occurred between the two men-Hay-
ward just simply drew his revolver
and shot Ballard. The bullet, it is
said, entered the breast, passed thru
the liver and came out the back.
Ballard was taken Immediately 70
the Crisfeld Hospital and given the
best of attention. He grew gradually
worse and died on Monday night. He
was hard working man and was
greatly respected by the white people
Of our town as well as by those of
his own color. He was a son of JOS
eph Ballard, known to most of our
people.
At last accounts the man who did
the shooting was still at large. A
writ we understand, was issued for
his arrest but at our time of going to
press the authorities had been unable
to- locate him. 1t is hoped that he
will be captured and be made to pay
a just penalty for his crime.
This is another case charged up to
the gatherings that are so frequent
with the colored people. There should
be some means to stop such gather
ings, but it seems to be impossible.
The time is fast approaching when
campmetings will be held weekly and
our people will then live in fear all
the while of some crime of this char
acter taking place. There was a talk
one time of placing a very heavy Ii
cense on all campmeetings. This
would probably be an excellent thing
and it is surely worth trial.
