ZADOCK W. POWELL
dies IN SNOW HILL
Deceased Was Member Of Board
OF Education. Death Due
Largely To Old Age

Zadock w. Powell, one of the most
highly respected citizens of Worces-
ter county, residing in Snow Hill,
died at that place last Monday aged
81 years, the cause of his death being
largely the result of the infirmities of
old age.
Mr.. Powell was born in Worcester
county, near Girdletree, and was
educated in the public schools. Very
early in life he removed to Snow Hill
and entered the drug store of P. D.
Cottingham. Before Mr.. Cotting-
hams death, Mr.. Powell had become
a partner in the business, and has
conducted it ever since that gentle
mans demise, retaining the firm
name.
He was only once married, his
wife being a New Jersey lady, and
he is survived by one son, William.
Since 1900 Mr.. Powell has been
a member of the County Board of
Education, and had very recently been
re-appointed by Governor Rithcie for
term of six years.
He was a devoted member of the
M. E. Church. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Jones, and in
terment was made in the M. E. ceme-
terry.
The active pail bearers were, John
W. Station, ESQ.,, William d. Corddry
Arthur Humphreys, Marion T. Har.
gis, William McAllen, and DR.. John
Riley. The honorary bearers were
Rev. Mr.. Williams, Lawrence Hast.
ings, Oscar Purnell, James Vincent
DR.. Paul Jones, Mr.. Rowley, of Chin
colleague, Samuel Price, E. w. Nc.
Master, William Brattan, and Edward
Holston.
Mr.. Powell always led a quiet, un'
obtrusive life. His ambitions did not
lead him to display of any sort. But
by the mere example of just ane
upright life, he established himself ir
the minds and hearts of all who knew
him more firmly than many coult
have done after years spent in the
way of active effort. His memory
will long remain as one of Worces
ter's best products.

WORCESTER Will
HAVE ATTRACTIVE
FLOAT in PARADE
Historic Ship In Miniature Repro
duced AT E. J. Tull's Shipyard
In Pocomoke City
WILL APPEAR in SEVERN
RIVER BRIDGE PARADE TODAY

The Women's Club of Worceste,
County will enter very attractive
float in the big parade at Annapolis
today, to celebrate the opening of the
Severn river bridge.
All the floats in the pageant will
be historic, and the special incident
selected to represent Worcester will
be miniature ship mounted on a
Ford chassis.
The model is reproduction of the
old prison ship, La Dolphine. This
is a sqare-rigged barkentine, and the
builder E. James Tull, has shown
wonderful skill in the completeness
with which he has turned out the lit
tie craft.
Its masts, sails, shrouds, ropes and
pulleys, anchors, matches, ladders,
capstan, barrels, and every other de-
tail, are worked out to a neatness and
finish which shows thorough knowl-
edge of the boat building business.
There is quarterback, and above
this passenger quarters. In the bow,
is the prison. Looking from the win
dows can be seen the crew and others
in the stern quarters; and from the
prison .portholes in the bow are star
ing the black faces of captured sea
criminals. The craft is about feet
in length, and about feet in width,
with a maximum depth Of perhaps
2 feet.
On the chassis, it rides the waves
made of canvas, and draped so as to
give very natural imitation of the
seas. The platform on which it rests
is so painted as to blend with the
Canvas" waves, and gives a larger
view of the blue expanse.
On the truck in front of the ship,
IRE will be a decoration of ever
greens which will embower the driver
so effectively that he will not be seen.
And hanging from the sides will be
6raperies covering the wheels of the
car. On the side in big letters, the
name of the county will be displayed.
Six Worcester county boys will ride
on the float. From what section they
will be selected is not, at this writing,
known to the Democrat
The entire presentation is very
creditable and the ladies deserve much
commendation for the energy and pa
triotism they have displayed.

RAIN STORM DOES
GREAT DAMAGE TO
GROWING CROPS
Unusual Fall mandates Whole Fields.
Storm With Wind Amounts To
Tornado In Some Sections
CAPE CHARLES MAN
DESPONDENT, SUICIDES

Seldom has this section of the
Shore experienced a heavier rain.
storm than the one which occurred
last Sunday night. Considerable
wind accompanied the rain, and in
places wreaked havoc to trees and
buildings.
In a radius of eight or ten miles
from Pocomoke City, the rainfall was
tremendous. Whole fields were in
undated, and serious injury done to
crops. On many farms large acreage
is drowned out, and will be total
loss. Hay crops were shortened and
injured by this and previous down
pours. Corn planting has been delay
ed, and the strawberry crop received
setback. On the whole it has been
a serious season for the farmers, and
their only hope in the truck cultiva-
tion is that the over-planting will
make prices higher and in this way
repay the planter for his losses.
One result of the poor prospects
for the farmer is reported at Cape
Charles, Va:
Ernest Nottingham, SIS, a prosper
Gus farmer, living two miles from
that place, committed suicide at 6
o'clock Wednesday in the basement of
his home by firing pistol bullet thru
his temple. He was respondent over
his crops.
Nottingham, member of one of
one of Northampton county's oldest
families, had been living in Cape
Charles for the last five years. He
moved back to the farm Tuesday
where new home was just complet-
ed to replace the one burned last sum-
mer. On Wednesday morning he
went to a neighbor and borrowed q
revolver. Later his wife heard a
shot in the basement, and, investigat-
ing found her husbands body on the
floor.
The farmer is the bone and sinew
of the country, and his losses affect
all lines of trade. Old Earth, how
ever, is better than she looks to be at
times, and it is to be hoped her yield
will be more bounteous than condi-
tions seem to indicate.

RAY v. CLADDINC new
CHEVROLET DISTRIBUTOR
Opens Sales Room And Service Sta
ton In Townsend Building On
Willow Street

Ray V. Gladding has accepted the
agency for the Chevrolet automobile
and will start business in the Town
send building next door to w. H.
Clarke & Co.'S drug emporium.
This, of itself, is spacious apart
ment but Mr.. Gladding purposes to
add the room of the druggists when
they remove to Market street. This
done, he will have excellent oppor-
tunity for display and service of all
kinds.
The. Chevrolet is a popular car, and
Mr.. Gladding, in another column ad-
vertises his entrance into his new un-
dertaking, which, no doubt, he will
push with his well-known vigor.
Chevrolet makers claim for their
product an all-round machine. They
point to it as the woman's car, the
salesman's car, the family car, the
doctors car, the business grips car
the farmers car, the church car, the
vacation car, - indeed a machine
which will answer the call of any
one, no matter what he wants to dc
or where he wants to 60.
The company is fortunate in OBJ
tanning so valuable representative
in our town, and it is not too much t.
say he will do as we'll as the best.
Mr.. Gladding will have a service
department with excellent mechanics
prepared to make repairs to any sor
of machine.

THE community
SINGERS WELL
RECEIVED HERE
Packed Houses Greet Local Voices
In Music Festival Given In
Empire Theatre.
PRESENTED UNDER AUSPICES
CRESCENT CHAPTER, O. E. S.

Pocomoke has seldom been treated
to such musical feast as was offered
in the Empire Theatre Thursday and
FRIDAY of last week. The we'll pack
ed house attested to the fact that the
love OF music in the average individ-
ual, is innate and source of silent
enjoyment whether or not one can
master its technique. 1t is imposs;-
BILE to appreciate good music without
hearing il; it is impossible to hear it
and not love it, and to love it without
knowing high yearnings that make
for character.
The opening number of the even
lng's entertainment was a welcome
chorus by Odell and was sung by-18
young ladies' whose voices were we'll
trained and blended harmoniously.
This was followed by chorus by
Giebel and was splendidly rendered
by thirty-five mixed voices.
The reading by Miss Bowen, the
quartettes, solos and piano trios were
especially pleasing and received en-
thusiastic applause.
The second part of the program was
"The Call of Summer" secular can
tata by Pearson. This consisted of
short solos for tenor, contralto, basso
and soprano voices which gave pleas
ing variety to the richly flowing full
choruses. The voices were nicely bal
anced and the nuances and shadings
Of expression were sure indications
OF the careful training of an expert
enced musician. The tone quality of
the voices was especially excellent
and the blending of the different parts
a source of pleasure and satisfaction
to the musical ear. Impressive and
beautiful was the Vesper Hymn, 80
Peace Divine" and tenderly appealing
the "Angelus" by violin and piano.
This entertainment was given I'M
der the auspices of Crescent Chapter,
Order Eastern Star, with Mrs. Ben
jamin T. Dryden as director, and Mrs.
William S. Bowen, pianist. Both
Mrs. Dryden and Mrs. Bowen are to
be congratulated upon the success
which attended their efforts. It is
the universal opinion of those who
had the opportunity of hearing this
program, that, taken as a whole the,
evening was one of rare enjoymenH
from the opening number to the clog
ing, and was thoroughly appreciated
by the music-loving public.
Those who took part in the even
ing's program were:
Mesdames Mark C. Callahan, Ralph
