Bel and the Dragon or Daniel and III
Lions Den. From the Apoerypha
In Babylon where Cyrus reigned
And Daniel then did dwell,
The dragon was a famous god,
But chief OF all was Bel.
! Though Daniel had demolished Bel,
The dragon still remained
King Cyrus daily worshipped II
/ But Daniel e'er rcfrained.
Then unto him, thus said the king
wilt thou now also say
That it like Bel is made of brass
From which to turn away"
10 and behold he liveth now,
/ Eateth and drinketh too:
! Because he lives, o worship him
| AS / and others do"
/ IF thou, o king, will give me leave,
! So Daniel then did say,
1 Behold, with neither sword or stat
| The dragon I will STAY"
The king gave leave and so to do
Did Daniel then prepare,
BY mixing we'll and seething. too,
Some fat with pitch and hair.
He placed within the Dragons mouth
Jumps from the seething pot,
And 10, it burst in sunder, and
The dragon then was not.
Said Daniel, pointing with his hand.
To where the fragments lay.
Such are the gods You worship here
How glorious are they?"
Then Babylon conspired against
King Cyrus and his crew,
And cried aloud Behold the king
Has now become Jew"
He hath destroyed the idol Bel
And slain the dragon too,
He hath put all the priests to death,
Who knows what he may do?"
Then to the king the people said
Deliver us Daniel
Or now we surely will destroy
Thee and thine house as we'll"
And being then thus sorely pressed
He yielded to the men,
When ruthlessly was Daniel cast
Into the lions den.
There he remained for full six days
With seven hungry beasts,
Which were not fed that they might
To Daniel for feast.
In Jewry Habbacue prepared
meal to take away
When from the Lord an angel came
And unto him did say.
go carry now to Babylon
That dinner for thy men,
And give it unto Daniel there
Within the lions den"
II never have seen Babylon,
I know not there the way,
| do not know where is the dem"
Thus Habbacue did say.
So then the angel seized the hair
That grew upon his crown,
And near the den in Babylon
Did set the prophet down.
There Habbacue to Daniel said
30 turn We now to me
And take the meal ] have prepared
Which God hath sent to thee"
Then Daniel cried unto his God
Thou hast remembered me
And never hast forsaken those
Who put their trust in Thee
As Daniel did arise and cat,
The angel with his hand
Took Habbacue and set him down
Within his native land.
The king took David from the den
As sound as Ger before,
Although the beasts had tasted naught
For full six DAYS or more.
When his accusers were thrown IN
TO feed the beasts again.
Before his face were ali those men
Within a moment slain.

DOVER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Several Citizens On October 9th Re-
ceive Greetings and Surprise Parties


Ceive Greetings and Surprise Parties
Tuesday, October 9, seemed to be a
Red Letter Day in Dover for birth
day anniversaries. Several of their
citizens we have heard of and the
manner in which they spent the day.
DR.. Wilbur D. Burton, DOver's pop
ular town official and Magistrate, re-
ceived many congratulations on his
natal day.
Mrs. w. D. Watson, (nee Miss Le-
nora Moore) of North Bradford street
Dover, who was also born on the
'lucky" 9th, with her husband, went
to the Wild Flower Tea House, south
of Dover for chicken and waffle sup
per and on their return, they found
that others had taken possession of
their home even to bringing refresh
ments with them. A most delightful
evening was spent.
Elmer E. Benson, another we'll
known citizen of Dover, also received
congratulations on the anniversary OF
his birth on that day.
Mrs. Julia Kirk Baynard, one of the
popular teachers of Dover Publ,
Schools, also had a birthday on Octo
Der 9, and received congratulations.
Herman C. Taylor, the well-knOwl
newspaper man of Dover, also came il
for a share of congratulations on hi
natal day.
OF course it is taken for granite,
that all the above mentioned Dover
ties who had birthdays on Tuesday
October 8, were not all of the sam
age.

KLANSMEN READY TO AID IN
SURPRISING THE OUTLAWS
OFFERS TO JOIN AUTHORITIES
TO STOP BOOTLEGGING
Reign of Terror Has Prevailed Since
Bicking Affair.-Officers Barn in
POcOmOke City Dynamited


Six hundred klansmen are ready at
a moments notice to arm and join the
authorities in quelling the reign Of
lawlessness of Worchester county,
Md, according to a message forward
ed to POcomoke City Wednesday by a
citizen prominent in business and poll
tics of the county, it was reported
Wednesday night.
This development followed the dy-
namiting early Wednesday morning
of a barn on the Walnut street prop
erty of Sylvester Messick, special po-
iceman, who had been active in the
campaign against lawlessness since
the burning of the parsonage of the
Rev. J. R. Bicking and his boat sew
eral months ago.
The message, signed "K. K. K.",
indicated the fiery cross would burn
at a word from the officials to sum-
mon Klansmen from over the Virginia
border, as it is said on reliable au-
thority that there are now 600 Klans-
men in the county.
Officials and police authorities ac-
cepted the message without question
as bonafde. They asserted, however,
that the regular police would cope
with the situation and that there
would be no call for reinforcements
from the ranks of the Invisible En-
pire.
Officials admitted the message had
been received, but declined to disclose
the name of the recipient.
An unexploded stick of dynamite, a
length of scorched blasting fuse and a
percussion cap were found late We'd
nesday afternoon near the dynamited
barn.
The evidence was placed in the
hands of Mayor James E. Tull, who
took personal charge of the investi-
cation.
Information that two men haC
bought a quantity of dynamite, fuse
and caps Tuesday from a PocOmOke
dealer may lead to arrests. The
names of the purchasers were in the
possession of the authorities, and they
were being sought to explain.
The seriousness of the situation
that for several months has kept law
abiding citizens in a state of terror
is indicated in a report that STATE
policemen who visited the farm of al
alleged boOtlegger near the cit!
found him carrying a shotgun as HI
went about harvesting corn.
Authorities Thursday were investi
eating a report that Everett Bevin
and his son, Elwood Bevins, held i
bail for trial this week on charges o
arson in connection with the burnin
of the Bicking parsonage, had left tn
county. A second son, Clarence BeV
! wins, unable to raise the $1,000 ba
is held in Jail.
] Messick told Investigators he ha
heard an automobile stop not far fro
his home a short time before the e.
plosion which wrecked his barn ar
aroused the entire city.
The most recent act of violence, a
. tributed to the "bootleggers and lay
breakers" element, probably will
followed by new and drastic actit
against them according to William
Kurbin States Attorney who Thur
day was attending court at SnC
Hill.

DOLLINGs co. LOSES PLANTS
Severance Granted Truck Companies
in Return for Payment of S35O,OO0

in Return for Payment of S35O,OOO
Two subsidiaries of the bankrupt
r. L. DOllings Company were granted
a severance by Judge Dickinson, in
the United States District Court last
week, on the petition of Thomas Rae
burn White, receiver. They are the
Commercial Truck Company and the
Commercial Truck Service Company,
which will be cut away entirely from
the control of the Dollings Company
in return for the payment of about
$350,000 in cash and real estate. The
receivers application for release of
the truck companies from the Doll
ingss' control was opposed recently in
court by a group of the Dollings pre-
ferred stockholders on the ground
that they did not want to lose valu-
able subsidiaries.
In granting the severance Judge
Dickinson pointed out that the truck
companies were among the few real
financial prospects that the Dollings
Company controlled and that if the
Dollings Company retained its hold OF
them there was every possibility that
they would eventuate in a receiver
ship and the Dollings Company stock
holders would get almost nothing, in
stead of about $350,O00.
The counterclaims by one company
against the other will be cancelled
and under the new agreement tht
truck companies will be wholly indie
pendent of the Dollings Company
which will return half of the common
stock it now owns, as we'll as SOM
of the preferred stock.
The common stock will have n
value until the company earns suffi
cient profits to pay dividends alth
the preferred stock issued at $40
par, now is estimated at $40 a share
at would have no value whatever o
, the stock companies were forced int
l receivership," said Judge Dickinson
: This, he declared, would be inevitabl
: if the Dollings Company retained il
$ hold.
In granting the petition, Judg
n Dickinson attacked the promoters {
e the Dollings Company, saying the
e their methods of conducting bushes
I made the bursting of the bubble il
S evitable.
I The Dollings Company was class
d fed as the stone around the neck {
the truck companies, threatening thel
with financial ruin unless some or
d cut the rope, which could permit thei
i to obtain financial assistance frol
d the outside. This would not be po
y sible so long as they were connecte
