'COLORED MAN INJURED
WHEN AUTO HITS BICYCLE
William White, On Wrong Side Of
Street, Suffers Slight Injury
In Shake-Up

What might have been a serious ac-
cident, but one which resulted in no
bones broken-only a rough shake-up
last Tuesday night about
dusk at the corner of Second and Mar
ket streets.
William White, colored, riding a BIZ
cycle was in collision with an auto
mobile driven by J. L. Northam, Sec
tion foreman on the N.Y.,P. & N. R.R.
Mr.. Northam was entering Market
from Second when he struck White
who, apparently, was on the wrong
side of the street. White was knock
ed off the machine and the latter was
considerably damaged. White, while
giving evidence Of injury, was soon
found after medical examination, not
to be seriously hurt.
There is, possibly, too little atten-
tion given by bicycle riders and horse
drawn vehicles to traffic laws. These
laws should apply to all means of
transportation as we'll as to automo-
biles.

LOCAL OFFICERS ROUND
UP U. S. MAIL ROBBERS
L. T. Parks And Herman F. Bull
Made Final Arrest Wednesday :
AT Stockton

A roundup of the men implicated
in the robbery of the post office at
Sinnickson, Va, has just been COM
pleted by deputy sheriff ]. Lennie T.
Parks and night officer Herman F.
Bull of this city.
The final arrest was that of John
Manuel, made last Wednesday in
Stockton, Nd, by the two above nam
ed officers, Charles Marshall was ap-
pretended last Tuesday in Philadel-
phia; and about two weeks ago, Pres
ton Manuel was caught at Chester,
Pa, both being taken into custody by
Tank Kellam, deputy sheriff of Acco-
mac county, the prisoners now being
in that county's Jail.
All three are colored men, and the
two Manuels have admitted the crime,
Marshall remaining non-committal.
The circumstances of the crime seem
to show that the three men entered
the office, and while Postmaster
Stant's attention was attracted by one,
the others got possession of the
stamps and money and bolted thru the
door. The amount in cash taken was
$3.50, the amount in stamps has not
been learned.

Pocon,oke Banks Distribute
$27, 900 In Christmas Clubs

The two banks of Poeomoke, the
Pocomoke City National and the Citi-
zens National have distributed Christ
mas Thrift Club savings to the a
mount Of $27,O13.77, representing the
savings of 1876 members of the two
clubs formed at these institutions.
This is concrete evidence of the
value of the Thrift Club. Similar
ones are in course of formation now
at the banks, notice of which is given
in the advertisements in another col
umn. The money comes in handily at
this season, and it would be we'll for
everyone to look into the workings of
the system.

POCCMOKE BOYS
WIN HIGH HONORS
AT STATE COLLEGE
Walter Bromley And John Ennis
Highly Praised For Activities
At College Park
PHILADELPHIA PAPER CITES
WORK OF RALPH GROTON

The following came from the Uni
versity of Maryland, and the Demo-
crat takes great pleasure in publish
ing same:
"Two Pocomoke boys are carrying
off high honors in extra curriculum
activities at the College Park branch
Of the University of Maryland.
"In the craftsmanship Of the Gener-
al Assembly, the student goxArning
body, Walter D. Bromley, q Senior,
holds the highest student office on
the campus. Bromley is also presi-
dent of the Delta Psi Omega fraterni-N
ty, chairman of the nter-fraternity
council, and president of the Y.M.C.A.
In addition he has held down. regu-
lar berth on the Varsity football team
for the last two seasons, playing at
tackle most of the time, and is valu-
able, member of Coach Truths la
crosse squad.
"John Ennis, Junior in the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences, is also
making name for himself. During
the football season just closed he has
been first assistant to the manager of
the squad, and in the last week has
taken over the managerial duties in
full. At the close of the 1925 grid
iron campaign he will receive Var
sity letter in recognition of his SER
vices. At present Ennis is business
manager of the Diamondback, the
University weekly newspaper, and has
been instrumental in placing the pub
lication on sound financial basis"
Ralph Groton, at Western Maryland
College, is also proving himself a
valuable member of that institution,
especially in the extra-curricular de-
partment. The Philadelphia Record
says the following of young Groton:
"Ralph Groton, varsity end for the
last four years and All-Maryland end
in 1928, for the last three years, will
be lost by graduation this spring.
Groton is product of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, having get his
prep school experience at Randolph
Macon Academy.
He has been one of the outstanding
factors in all the Western Maryland
games this year and his place is 60
ing to be hard for the coaches to fill.
"There is quite good possibility of
Groton being held as assistant coach
by the Maryland College, taking
charge of the ends"

County, Dies Following Third
Stroke Of Paralysis

Thomas H. Truitt, Of Rehoboth,

home on Friday Of last week, aged
II years, the cause of death being a
stroke of paralysis.
Mr.. Truitt had been confined to his
bed for about eight weeks, suffering
from previous paralytic affections in
January and July; the third proving
fatal.
He was born in Milford, Del, in
1853, but had been living at Rehoboth
since his early manhood, spending a.
bout half century in that vicinity. For
about forty-five years he served as a.
gent for the steamboat company, when
navigation up the Pocomoke river was
in full swing. Had he lived he would
have celebrated his 5Oth wedding an
niversary in the coming Spring.
He had been associated with the
old Presbyterian Church as keeper of
the keys. and had held his member
ship there for many years. He was
conspicuous communicate, stood
high in the regard of the entire men,
bership, and their esteem was mani
fest by the immense throng that at
tended his last rites.
Funeral services were held on Sum
day last in the old church he loved so
well, Rev. H. F. Bischof officiating,
and interment was made in the church
yard. {
The bearers were, Harry Cluff, L.
w. Beauchamp, Charles Holland, c..

and Harry, of Philadelphia; by three
daughters, Mrs. D. J. Warren, Of
Marlton, N. j.; Mrs. Jennie Fisher
and Mrs. Harry D. Melvin, of POGO
moke City.
Mr.. Truitt was an example of quiet
dignified living; unpretentious, Cod
fearing, honest, he enjoyed the conf
dence and love of all those with whom
he came in contact. Kindly disposed,
neighborly, he left void hard to fill
in a community, sparsely settled, and
where people learn, to know each 9th
er well. His temporal life undoubted-
ly insured for him a rich reward in
the eternal Kingdom of righteousness.

REV. NICHOLS
COLLEGE 'CHUM OF
THE PRESIDENT
Visits White House For Chat And En-
counters Attorney General Stone
Another School Chum
THEY THEN INVADE OFFICE
OF PRESIDENT FOR A TALK

The Washington Herald contain
the following in it's issue Of Wednes
day, December 3d.:
"Three cronies of the class of
'95 at Amherst College gathered
in the executive office of the
White House yesterday and swap
ped recollections.
They were Calvin Coolidge,
. President of the United States;
Harlan F. Stone, United States
Attorney General and the Rev.
Ransom P. Nichols, Pocomoke
City, Maryland. =
Doctor Nichols had an appoint
ment for short chat with the
President. Passing thru the re-
ception hall he encountered At,
torney General Stone, who was
leaving after the regular Tuesday
Cabinet meeting.
Both promptly invaded the
Presidents office, and, despite the
pressure of executive business at
tendant upon the opening of Con-
gress, the three passed some time
in exchanging "reminiscences"
Possibly the local clergyman nigh
be successful in inducing Presiden
Coolidge to make Pocomoke City ;
visit. The presence Of the Chief Elk
ecutive inside the limits of Worces
ter's metropolis would be an event, Al
account which could be laid up in tn
archives of the city, and referred tt
with pride by the present generation
as we'll as by coming ones.
Crisfield has been honored~ by hi
at church services there
and every one her, no doubt woul,
give him cordial and enthusiastic
welcome.
