Sen. Smith Honored
By The Legislature
Gets Ovation From All Members Of House
When He Entered Hall Last Thursday
Doings At Annapolis

State House, Annapolis, March 30.
On Thursday of last week at An
napolis, in the Chamber of the House
of Delegates, while that body was in
session, an elderly gentleman, with
snow white hair and mustache, walk
ed modestly in the Chamber, and,
proceeding to the front, took a sea:
beside Speaker Lee. At once the
whole audience, Republicans. Demo
Gratis, members of the House, and
employees and spectators, rose 10
their feet and cheered again and
again.
The gentleman was John Walter
Smith, former State Senator, former
member of Congress, former Cover
nor of Maryland. and former United
States Senator-now holding no off
cial position in the public service of
either the State or Nation. In for
mer years other eX-GovernOrs and
other ex-Senators have entered the
received but a passing notice, without
demonstration of any sort whatever.
Not within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant or visitor to the State
House, has such an ovation been ex-
tended to anybody, no matter what
rank or record for public service has
belonged to such visitor. Why such
an exception in favor of Senator
Smith?
Because he has the regard and re-
spect of everybody, no matter what
may be his political affiliations. He
was faithful and true to the people
of his State and Country in all the
high trusts that have been imposed
upon him, and no blot stains his pub
lie and private life, which is proud
heritage to the people of his native
State, which he has served so well
during his long and useful life.
The General Assembly will con-
clude its labors next Monday at mid
night, and, at the present rate of
progress the work will all be done be-
fore the gavel falls on the desk for
the last time of the Prcscn: session.
Governor Ritchie will have reason
to be congratulated on the work of
this the second session of the General
Assembly of his administration.
Practically every important measure
advocated by him has already been
passed, and the two or three remain
ing bills will be passed with ease dur
ing the time between now and next
Monday night. The bills to reorgan-
ize the State administrative offices

James E. Wimbrough
Died Last Sunday

Mr.. James f. Wimbrough, 80 years
of age, died ut the home of his daugh.
ter, Mrs. George w. Bonneville. Sun
day afternoon.
Mr.. Wimbrough was a native of
Northampton County, Virginia. He
came to Snow Hill long before the
Civil War, and played an important
part in the thrilling drama of that
time. Although born in section
where very few Republicans lived, he
was a believer in the principles of
that party from its birth and was a
consistent member of it from its or
ganization until his eyes closed in his
last long sleep.
During the Civil War he was one of
the few men in this section who had
influence with the Federal Govern
ment, and he was trusted implicitly
because of his well known Union
principles.
When Benjamin Harrison was elec
ted President of the United States,
Mr.. Wimbrough was appointed Post
master at Snow Hill.
Mr. Wimbrough was a tailor by
trade, was a good workman and Was
known throughout the county, not
only for his political activity, but for
being d good tailor. He had been n
poor health for several years, but
managed to do a little work for old
friends and customers. His wife died
several years ago.
In the passing of Mr.. Wimbrough
Snow Hill loses one of its oldest in
habitants. He had many friends who
deeply regret his departure.
The deceased is survived by one
son and one daughter-Professor Ed
ward C. Wimbrough, of Philadelphia,
and Mrs. George W. Bonneville, of
Snow Hill.
Funeral services were held at the
Bonneville home Tuesday afternoon
at three o'clock by Rev. l.. f. Poole,
after which interment was made in
the NJ. f. Genet ry.

Governor, were enacted into law early
in the session. The pledges made in
the Democratic State platform were
all practically carried out week be-
fore the close of the session, and all
that remains is a few odds and ends
of legislation, which will go through
in due course, after some preliminary
wangling, before Monday night. The
budget of appropriations has been so
arranged and scaled down, that the
revenues of the State will be ample
to provide for all, and enable the adj
ministration to reduce the taxes to
thirty cents on the one hundred dol
lars for the next two years-that Is
five cents per hundred less than the
rate is at the present time. Taken
altogether. the session ought to be
gratifying to the people of the State.
There has been no partisan or real
personal rancor evident at any time.
The members regardless of party all
seemed to be desirous to do what was
best for interest of the public gener-
ally. and no session for long period
of years has been as free from sean
dial as the one which is about to come
TO an end.
The talk over the contest for Sena-
tor Frances seat in the Senate At
Washington, has grown in force and
interest these last days, and it is the
opinion of large majority of those
who are here as members of the two
houses. as well as the State officers
generally and the numerous visitors
from all parts of the State, that
Governor Ritchie will announce his
candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation soon after the Assembly adj
journs next week. Who will enter
the primaries against him, or whether
he will be allowed to have the field
without opposition. is a problem.
State Treasurer Jno. NJ. Dennis has
openly said he will not enter the race,
and his friends seem to be united in
the opinion that Mr.. Dennis will wait
and ask for the nomination for Gov
ernor next year.
And not few people believe that
in the emf eA-Senatvi john Walter
Smith will get in the fight, before
long and announce that he is willing
to go to Washington for another
term.

Grand Jury Indicts Seven Persons---One For
Murder---Could Get Nothing On
The Many Bootleggers

Judge Robert +. Duer opened Court
here last Monday morning and drew
the Grand Jury. He made one of the
best addresses to the grand jury that
has been made here for many years.
He made plain to them their duties
to the State. He recited the things
they should do and the things they
should not do. In conclusion he said
there seems to be an impression
throughout the State that since the
Volstead Act became law that
Maryland is without adequate laws to
prohibit the making and sale of in
toxicating liquors. But such is not
the case. Maryland has laws cover
ing these violations, and it is the
duty of the Grand Jury to investigate
and summon witnesses. Having done
this it is their duty to forever keep
secret the things said in the Grand
Jury room.
The members of the Grand Jury
are as follows:
John I. keas, foreman; James
NJ. Bratten, Charles +. Tyndale, Ed
ward Collins, VIM. X. Holland. Jr.
Guy f. Boston, Nathaniel I. Dona-
way, William S. Jones, Elijah X. Hay

Peter p. Mason, William S. Powell,
Covington d. Powell.
Judge Duer was taken sick while in
Court last Monday and had to go to
his home in Princess Anne. Judge
Pattison was telephoned for and came
at once to Snow Hill, presiding over
Court Tuesday and Wednesday.
Judge Bailey went on the bench We'd
nesday afternoon and Judge Pattison
went back home later in the day.
Judge Bailey had been attending the
funeral Of a relative in Philadelphia.
The Grand Jury was discharged on
Wednesday. 1t examined a great
number of witnesses endeavoring to

locate those who were manufacturing
and selling booze. Nothing resulted
from this examination. The Grand
Jury found seven indictments, of a
variable character. One was for mur-
der, the prisoner being William Rob-
erts, indicted for killing George
Copes at Melbourne the last of Feb
ruary.
The Grand Jury committees appoin-
ted to examine the Court House and
Jail did not find any serious trouble
and in general terms commended the
keeping of both properties recon-
mending minor repairs.
So far only few cases have been
tried and there is every appearance
of short term of Court.
The sui: cf Chester g. Holloway vs
Alex f.. Bradford was submitted to
Court. Damages were awarded the
plaintiff in the sum of $1S7.S5.
The suit of William b. Duncan
against Miss Calvine Howerton, to
recover damages, claiming that be-
cause of her attitude he could not
complete a contract for cutting tim
Der on her land, has been on the dock
ct several years. 1t came to trial
Tuesday. At the close of testimony
for the plaintiff the Court gave an
intimation of taking the case from
the jury. Counsel for plaintiff there
upon announced an abandonment of
the suit.

Myers were counsel for Miss Hover
ton, and Ewell & Child for Duncan.

BIG SHAD CATCHES
PRICES TAKE DROP
Fish Reported To BE Abundant In
Baltimore And OF Good
Quality.

Cargoes of shad reaching Baltimore
were so large and numerous Tuesday
that there was sudden drop in the
wholesale price. Local fish merchants
say that the fish are numerous and OF
very good quality.
The first schooners of the season to
arrive with the fish were the l.. G.
Quinn with a large cargo caught in
Governors run and the Pinta and
Trigo with shad Of fine quality from
New Point. Other schooners have
their nets out at all points along the
bay and large cargoes are expected
to arrive next week and the latter
part of this week.
Steamers of the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake and Atlantic Railroad Com
pany are also bringing in large
quantities of shad and other fish.
The Middlesex arrived today from
the Rappahannock river with 30
tons of fish. Most of these fish were
shad, though there were some her.
ring, hard heads and crocuses.
Herring shipments are small at the
present time, but within 10 days. it
was said at Long Dock, they would
be coming in in large quantities. Sew
eral schooners are now being fitted
at Long Dock for catching herring
and will sail next week. Among these
schooners is the II. f. Henkle, owned
by Capt. Johnny" Ross, one of the
best known shippers in Baltimore.
Herring is now bringing 2 cents a
pound, wholesale.
