Steering Gear Jams;
Car Runs Into Ditch

F. Lee Bonneville and William b.
Sartorius were unfortunate enough to
meet With an auto accident while en-
route to Fairmount, Somerset county.
The steering apparatus on the car be-
came disarranged in some way, caus-
ing the machine to shoot across the
road into ditch while the driver was
attempting to negotiate curve.
Fortunately no serious damage oc-
Cured. Mr.. Bonneville escaped en-
tirely unhurt, and Mr.. Sartorius re-
ceived only some scratches and bruis-
es on the hand. Mr.. Sartorius has
been quite unfortunate recently in this
respect ,and seems to be a Jonah in
an auto. Both may be congratulated
or the lucky termination of the incl
dent.

Dress Making Contest
Attracts Much Attention

Godwin's Department store is Of
fering a very attractive inducement
to their patrons in the way of dress
making contest. Three cash prizes
are involved: the first being for SIS;
the second, $40; and the third, for SIS.
This contest began on Monday last
and is creating quite a great deal of
interest among the women of the
town and surrounding community,
many of whom have entered theil
names as contestants. There are M
rules except that the goods must be
bought from their store and made
with the Mccall printed pattern.
AS the time increases, no doubt the
list will be full of those who, after the
contest, will be experienced dress
makers.

Car Plunges Into Ditch
Near Berlin As D1iUer Dies

A very sudden and unusual death
occurred on the stone road near a
place known as Hogs Skull on Tues
day last about 2 P. M.
Lafayette J. Fooks expired under a
heart attack while steering his car,
which without guiding hand, plung-
ed into a ditch. Occupants Of the car
escaped with only slight bruises.
Those with Mr.. Fooks were: Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Egli, Fruitland, and
Mr.. and Mrs. George Ludwig Hogan
Station, Wicomico county, Pa. That
these were not hurt is due, probably,
to the moderate rate Of speed main
tanned by the driver, the car being on
ly slightly damaged.
Mr.. Fooks was about 48 years of
age, and combined with his farming
life, that of a real estate dealer, and
resided near st. Luke's Church in WI
comico county.
The Egli family had only recently
moved into the Fruitland section, and
the Ludwig's were visitors. The party
had been on a trip to Ocean City.

Dr.. Wainwright, Princess
= Anne Physician, Dead

DIR. C. w. Wainwright, prominent
physician of Princess Anne, died in
that town this week, aged about Ga
years.
DR.. Wainwright was educated in
the public schools and at Washington
College, from which institution he
graduated in 1878. Early after grad
uating he was appointed assistant in
the Princess Anne High school, at the
time when J. Shiles Crockett, ESQ.,, of
this city, was principal. After a short
experience at this work he entered a
medical college, and after getting his
degree, settled in Princess Anne,
where he was living at the time OF
his death.
The cause of his demise was heart
trouble, from which he had suffered
some years. He was highly esteemed
in Somerset county and his loss will
ell keenly felt.

FIRE BOYS MAKE RECORD
TRIP TO OCEAN CITY
Pocomoke Company Responds To
Call For Help From Maryland's
Seaside Resort

The alarm of fire last Friday even
ing between Z and 7.30 o'clock was
startling, as such always is, but some
relief was felt when it became known
that the Pocomoke City Fire Depart
ment had been called upon to aid
Ocean City in what threatened to be
a serious blaze.
Our boys were quick to respond,
and, with their brand new fire truck
started for the seaside resort.
They made the run to Newark in a.
bout 80 minutes, where they halted
for supplies and reached Ocean City
in about one hour and twenty minutes.
stopping also in Berlin.
Fortunately the fire had been put
under control before Pocomoke's con-
tingents arrived, and the pump was
not put into action. On the run, the
new trucks brake bands were burnt
out, owing to their being too closely
set; but otherwise the new machine
stood the speedy drive splendidly.
The fire broke out in the Mt. Pleas
ant Hotel, origin unknown, and the
building is practically a wreck. The
threatening aspect Of the confagra-
tion made adjoining property holders
fearful of a quick spread, and there
was general moving out. The beach
was practically covered with house,
hold goods.
It would be well if the Ocean City
authorities could build approaches to
the oceans brink, so that water
pumps could get their supply from
the sea. In the event of more ex-
tensive fire, the standpipe would soon
be exhausted and the only place to
get water would be from the bridge
where the engines would have to hal
and drop their hose overheard. This
would necessitate thousands of feet o.
hose, which small town departments
might not be able to supply.

at the same hours of the day.
) Speakers of national prominence
will be on hand, and such speakers as
towns of this size seldom entertain
as visitors. The publicity committee
states that Pocomoke City is fortu-
nate in securing these orators, as
their services are generally confined
to towns and cities of much larger
population than that of Pocomoke

two performances. With each success
sive season one looks forward to the
visits of the various tented aggrega-
tions that travel the country for the

terestlna, amusing and instructive.
Everybody loves horses and ponies.

the ladies who with the little ones
are the most loyal patrons. They are
assured of the highest form Of enter
tainment free from everything at all
calculated to offend the most sensi-
tive. In addition to the trained ami

very best of lady performers. The
performing elephants and rare wild

baby elephant, the good night pony,

ones. The funny clowns, the many
beautiful lady artists, the feature acts
by the worlds greatest gymnast, Mile.
Roberts, in her death defying act in
mid-air, the like of which has never
been witnessed, will live long in mem
ory when many other shows have fad
ed away into forgetfulness. Two COM
plete performances daily.

Pocoaoke Bakery VIII
Soon Resume Business

It is reported that the Pocomoke
Bakery will soon resume business at
the old stand. There is no reason
why a bakery in this town should not
be a profitable business. If other
towns can make bread and sell it
here, why can not home enterprise
sell local trade and also invade other
towns.
Whenever the Bakery docs open
up, the Pocomoke merchants should
patronize it if it turns out an article
as good as the foreign product and at
as reasonable price. 1t might be well
for the managers to do little judici-
Gus advertising.

Brick Work On The Pocomoke City
National Bank Also Begun
This Week.
NEW RESIDENCES ARE
ALSO BEING CONSTRUCTED

Building operations are assuming
conspicuous proportions these days.
The Woolworth house is very nearly
shut in, and it will not be long before
it is ready to turn over to the occu-
pants. There are two store rooms
under the roof, and some very desir-
able offices will be for rent on the
second floor.
The Pocomoke City National Bank
is being rushed SO that the walls may
be run up before cold weather sets in;
and from the looks of the foundation,
the building will be larger than the
old one. The style of front will un-
doubtedly be in keeping with the i'm
proved architecture of the town, and
will be tasteful and ornamental.
E. J. Powell has begun The founda-
tions of two large store rooms on
Walnut street adjoining the store of
w. S. Schoolfeld & Co., which firm is
doing business in the Davis building.
When>J. Paul Young completes his
anticipated enlargement of his hotel,
all the burnt district on this street
will have been rebuilt.
Two dwellings are being erected on
Cedar street by Mrs. Edward Outen,
which from present appearance bid
fair to add much to the Improvement
of that rapidly developing residential
section.
On Sixth street two dwellings are
rapidly nearing completion, both be-
ing built by Oliver johnson. Sixth st.
is looming up as one of the most
desirable places in town in which to
live, and some of our leading citizens
IRE selecting it for their homes.
John Hayman has in course Of con-
>struction commodious residence on
Market street extended. This section
is fast becoming one 6f the most at
tractive of Pocomoke's environs.
The Salem M. E. Church is remov-
ing the debris of the burnt parsonage,
preparatory to erecting in its place
a modern home for the Methodist
parson. This building was one of the
land marks of the town; and, while
many regret to see old houses go,
still the residences built in the neigh
borhood have made this structure look
diminutive and inadequate.
The above operations, along with
the finishing touches being given to
others begun some time back, give
promise of an early covering of the
fire devastated area. -

Oyster Roasts Popular At
George Island Landing

Since the completion of the stone
road between Pocomoke City and
Stockton, George Island Landing has
become favorite resort for those
who are fond of the luscious oyster.
Cat. Ben Disharoon is always on hand
to serve the public, and knows how to
cook the bivalve to the queens taste.
Almost nightly parties repair to the
Landing, and on Saturdays and Sum
days the rush almost overwhelms the
genial captain.

FOR MARYLAND POOR
Senator Orlando Harrison Writes
Governor Ritchie Convincing
Letter On Subject. Z

[The following letter was written
to Governor Richie by Mr.. Harrison
and should be of general interest. We
take pleasure in publishing it.-Ed.]
I, Hon. Albert c. Ritchie,
Governor of Maryland.
Lear Governor:
We have on the Eastern Shore and
most of the counties Of Maryland,
where the county still maintains what
is commonly known as an Aims House
for the poor. In most instances this
is large farm, expensive to. main
tain, with about five to fifteen inmates
and poor expensive system of caring
for them.
It is time the State of Maryland
should take a forward step and do a
way with the Aims Houses and erect
a building on the States property at
Cambridge, near the Eastern Shore
State Hospital, separate from the 9TH
er buildings for the poor to be known
as "The Maryland Home for Men and
Women" where the superintendent Of
the hospital could care for them, and
have the physicians care, ample food,
access to farm life and an opportunity
to work or rest and comfort.
I consider it the duty Of every citi-
zen and the taxpayers of each county
in the State Of Maryland to look after
the poor in the best possible way. /
think each county should pay for each
incumbent they send. The ones that
are not able and do not have funds or
relatives to be cared for in a respect
able way. If the incumbents have a
small income not sufficient to keep
them then this should be deposited
with the State Treasurer, paying the
income from same to the incumbent
for spending money if they need and
desire same. The principal to be left
t. help defray their living and funeral
expenses and fund for the home./
Yours respectfully,
ORLANDO HARRISON.

BIG ONE CENT SALE.

There was rush this week when

One-cent sale. A waiting list was
ready to enter their store when the
doors were thrown wide, and their
counters have been crowded with GUS
toners from the minute the goods
were displayed to the public, and it
is safe to say all articles advertised
will be disposed of in short order.

comprehensive plans to PROVIDE 81
Johns College at Annapolis a mini
mum endowment Of 100000 in order
to insure the retention of the high
grade faculty that has been engaged
by the new president, DR.. Enoch B.
Carey, are now we'll under way and
progressing rapidly, it was an
nounced at the General Campaign
Headquarters.
Judge Walter I. Dawkins, an Alum
nus, has been selected general chair
man of the campaign, and already has
enlisted a general committee compos-
ed of Alumni and few others who
have been actively identified with the
college through membership on its
governing board.
The members of the general COM
mittee enrolled by Judge Dawkins to
date, with their graduation years Civ
en-, are as follows:
T. w. Claggett, 1891; DR.. Joseph
Clement Clark, 1877; William c. De-
vecmom, 1881; James A. Fechtig, Jr.,
1895; DR.. Thomas Fell, retiring presi-
dent of St. Johns; State Senator
George A. Frick, 1880; former Gov
ernor Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
member of College Board of Visitors
and Governors; Judge James P. Cor
ter, 1879; Judge Henry D. Harlan,
1878; Judge William Fl. Harlan, 1872:
former Governor Emerson C. Har-
rington, 1884; w. Thos. Kemp, 1897;
Ridgely p Melvin, 1899; Addison E.
Mulliken, 1895; James M. Munroe,
1874; DR.. James A. Nydegger, 1890:
Herbert Noble, 1889; former Mayor
Jas. H. Preston, 1881; William Wood
ward, member of College Governing
Board.
The appeal for contributions to the
endowment fund will be launched in
Baltimore on October 26th and will
be carried on throughout the State
and in cities where Alumni are locat-
ed, The majority Of the Alumni are
located in Maryland.
All expenses of the campaign are
borne by the Alumni, and every dollar
contributed by the general public
will be used for the purpose for which
it is given.
The appeal to the general public
carries with it what is believed to be
q novelty. in education in Maryland.
While III Alumni subscriptions will
be used to build up the endowment
fund, and all non-alumni contributors
may have their gifts go solely into
the endowment fund, each non-alum
nus subscriber may have the privi-
lege of designating portion of his
or her gift to be used to create a
Student Aid Fund, from which de-
serving young men of limited means
may borrow to pay part of the cost
Of their education. Frequently the
2oan of a few hundred dollars means
the difference between remaining in
College until graduation or dropping
out. The Student Aid plan gives to
the people of each county the oppor-
tunity to help ambitious young men
in their respective counties.
