TOMATO BLIGHT ATTACKS
YOUNG PLANTS ON PENINSULA

Reports from many sections of
Delaware and Maryland are to the
effect that the "black rot" or blight,
is attacking the young toamto plants
in the large fields in both Delaware
and Maryland. In the vicinity of Mil
ford, the farmers residing in the
meek" districts along the bayshore
state that their prospects for a to-
mato crop have dwindled very rapid
ly during the past week. In many in
stances the growers are considering
the advisability of plowing up their
fields and putting them in late corn.
One farmer stated to the writer that
up until last Saturday he had pros
poets for fine tomato crop. His
vines were bushy, good color, and
well set Investigation on Saturday
disclosed the stems of the plants
had been practically rotted through.
He said that the field would be al
most worthless.
DR.. R. A. Jehle, plant pathologist
for the University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service, has made an extern
sive inspection of tomato crop condi-
tiOns in his state. He reports that
the disease is epidemic in many sec
tions. This is especially true in Dor
chester County. It's spread has been |
favored by the wet weather and it
IS practically noticeable on plants
which were not well sprayed in the
plant beds. AS a result of the blight,
he toamto crop will be badly injur-

Invocation
THE SPIRIT OF CITIZENSHIP

It has been our habit to gauge our supplications bv
our personal needs Our prayers have been filled with
requests for personal fayOrs and if we have some
times come with praise lips it has been mostly
IN spirit OF thanksgiving for experiences which
have been pleasant to senses or to our emotions
For peace for plenty, for an ever present help in
time OF trOuble-for these have given our thanks
but seldom have we acknowledged our gratitude for
the greatest gift of all-for conscience
The greatest compliment ever paid to mankind
and the greatest responsibility ever laid upon men
and WOmen-was when Thou gavest them a knowl-
edge of right and wrong, and then made them free
agents to determine for themselves whether they
would follow that guide
The more free are the nations Of men, the greater
is their responsibility under Thy PLAN and because
of the traditional freedom of these United States we
covet for ourselves above all gifts the gift of COM
mon sense to recognize the right and the will to do
it.
May each of do his or her individual part to
Danish greed to put away envy and to eliminate the
tragedy of misunderstanding and the curse of selfish
nish.
On this Fourth of July may we not only dedicate
ourselves anew to the principles of government on
which our nation founded, but may we go still
further and apply those principles to our daily lives
and our relations with our neghbors.-Amen.

SATURDAY A LEGAL
HOLIDAY IN MARYLAND

Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, has
proclaimed Saturday, July 5th, a
legal holiday. AS a result of this ac-
tion on the part of the executive of
the state the merchants in the city
of Salisbury have decided to close
their stores on that day in order
that their clerks may have a day of
rest. It will be well for persons who
had planned to visit that town to re-
member that no stores will be open
on that day. In Delaware the mer-
camille establishments will be open
as usual.

SERGEANT BERRY IN
THE Tolls OF LAW
Arrested For Desertion Of Wife
And Children.-Formerly Re-
sided In Pocomoke

Chief Of Police William A. Stroud,
received on February 10Th a letter
from R. E. Glover, sergeant of police,
Portsmouth, Va, requesting him to
arrest one, Sergeant Gilmore Berry,
formerly connected with the Brilliant
Manufacturing Co., this city.
The fugitive was wanted for the
desertion of his family consisting of
his wife, Ethel Marie Berry, and his
infant children, Ethel Cornelia ,aged
six years; Olive Sergeant, aged two;
and Olive May, aged seven months.
It was understood by the Ports
mouth authorities that Berry was liv-
ing here, but he had not made this
place his residence for some months.
Besides the charge Of desertion there
is another that may be laid-that of
bigamy, as he had entered into mat
rimonial alliance with Mrs. Adams of
this city, the divorced wife of Robert
Adams.
Accompanying the order for the ar
rest was a letter written by Berry to
his wife, in which he acknowledges
the wrong done her, but evinces a
recklessness as to results, which indi-
Gates that he has lost his hold on life,
and does not care what befalls him
He is at one time Indifferent to her
opinion or her fate; then he writes as
if he considered her the best woman
ON earth, and that he would do the
best he could to send money for her
support.
A telegram arriving subsequent to
the letter stated that Berry had been
arrested, but did not state where. He
will either resume his place as the
head and support of his family, or
else feel the strong arm of the law.
He deserves heroic treatment.

Coiored M. E. Parsonage
Destroyed By Fire Sunday

Fire which broke out about
o'clock on the evening on Sunday last,
entirely destroyed the parsonage of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, of this city.
This residence was located about
one and one-half miles from POGO
moke, at a settlement known as I'm
ionville. The fire was first noted by
Isaiah Spady, who was passing by in
an auto. Before anything could be
done, the flames had obtained such
headway as to defy control. 1t is sup
posed the cause of the fire was de-
fective flue.
The pastro, Rev. E. E Rogers, sus-
tanned a total loss with the exception
of few household goods from the
first floor, and the wearing apparel he
and the family had on at the time
Of the fire. The library of the preach
er was also burned, which was valued
it is said, about $1,000. The total loss
is about $4,000 which is covered only
by partial insurance.

LEGISLATURE SPEEDS UP
IN WORK OF LAW-MAKlNC|
DR.. Wilson Appointed
Single Surgeon Examiner

DR.. Frederic w. Wilson, of this
city, has been designated as Single
Surgeon Examiner for the bureau at
Pocomoke City, to act in place OF the
board of examining surgeons hereto
fore existing in connection with the
pension system.
This information came from Wash
ington Gardner, Commissioner, De-
partment of the Interor, Bureau of
Pensions.
This action seems to have been
taken as result of the limited number
of examination for pensions to be
made in Pocomoke; it being the opin-
ion of the Department that a single
surgeon could handle the work better
than a board. DR.. Wilson, being
highly recommended for the position
receives the appointment. He is to
be congratulated upon his prefern,ent
and it goes without saying the duties
of the office will be administered in
telligently, faithfully, and with due
attention to the rights of all con-
cerned.

FORMER RESIDENT
DIES IN NEW JERSEY
Robert F. Ross, Many Years Resi-
. dent Of Pocomoke, Expires
AT Age Of II.

Those in Pocomoke, who were for
tunate to know Robert F. Ross, re-
gretted very much to hear Of his
death on Friday of last week. "Bob"
is remembered as most genial and
hearty companion; a man who al
ways took a bright view of life; and
always had a CHEEKY word for the
passer-by. The following account
was handed the Democrat for publ
cation:
Funeral services for Robert Frank
lin Ross, who died in his 73d year at
his home in Chatham, N. j., last Fri
day night, were held at 8 o'clock last
Monday night at his home. Rev.
Henry Lyle Lambden Summit, N. j.,
officiated. Interment, which was pri-
vate, was at 10 A. NJ, Tuesday, in
Fairmount cemetery. Rev. Lambden
was assisted in the services by DIR.
Petterton, pastor of the M. E. Church
at Chatham. LEAD Kindly Light"

favorite hymns of the deceased, were
sung by mixed quartette.
"Mr. Ross was born in Pocomoke
City 73 years ago, and as boy he
served as an apprentice in the office
OF the old Newtown Gazette, which
was edited by William Clarke. In
1865 he removed to Baltimore and be-
came connected with the Baltimore
Gazette" a daily newspaper. He en-
tered insurance journalism in Phila-
delphia in 1873. From 1878 to 1883
he was associated with the "Daily
Stakeholder" Of New York "a financial
paper. He published and edited
"Modern Light and Heat" at Boston,
Mass, for several years. In 1905 he
established "The Expositor and Insur-
ance Journal" in Newark, N. ]. From
the age of 13, or for approximately
60 years, he has been identified with
newspaper and Journalistic work.
"Mr. Ross is survived by his wife,
Ada M. Ross; two daughters Thelma
Fl. Ross of Chatham, and Mrs. Thos.
Armour Heys, of Kearney; two sons,
e. P. R. Ross and Robert F. Ross, Jr.,
OF Chatham; three sisters, Mrs. Ida
V. Ellis, Mrs. E. James Tull and Miss
Claudia A. Ross, and one brother, Ed
ward M. Ross, all Of Pocomoke City.
Edward M. Ross, Lynwood T. Ellis
and E. Wilfred Ross left for Chatham
last Monday and were present at the
funeral and burial services"

The meeting on Sunday night Ito
morrow) at which Pussyfoot johnson
will appear, at o'clock, will take on

in making it successful. Revs. Lacy,

pense with services in ther own
churches and attend the one in the M.

In the issue of the Democrat of last
Saturday, a full account of this noted
orator was given, and it is useless to
enlarge here. No doubt he will be
given hearty reception. At the head
of this article, a cut of the speaker
appears, showing him as he looks in
Mohammedan costume. He uses this
at times in his lecture, "The Cross and

EX-GOVERNOR BROUCH
TO SPEAK In POCOMOKE
Former Governor Of Arkansas To
Deliver Lecture In City Hall
Friday, March 7

The fourth of the series of winter
entertainments, which have been run
ming this season and furnished by the
Antrim Bureau will take place on
Friday evening, March Z, at 8 o'clock,
in the City Hall auditorium.
This time it is lecture by former
governor Charles H. Brough, of Ar
kansas. Advance information has
the following to say of him:
"Governor Brough represents the
best in Southern oratory and states
manship. His administration for two
terms as Governor of his common
wealth was marked by the passing of
more obstructive legislation-especi-
ally along sociological and humani-
tartan lines, than is usually true of the
political carer of the average public
man. A Doctor of Philosophy from
the Johns Hopkins University, Nat
ional President of the Tau Kappa Al
pha the honorary debating fraternity
Of America, for many years the Presi-
dent of the United States Good Roads
Association, and the honorary presi-
dent of the Arkansas Children's Home
Society and Hospital-and member
of the Board of Directors of the In
ternational Y. M. c. A., Doctor COM
bnes in a rare degree the ardor of the
scholar with the substantial achieve
ments of man of affairs"
The Governors repertoire contains
such subjects as "America's Leader
ship of the World" "The Glory of the
old South, and the Greatness of the
New" "The God and Christ of His
tory" and "We study but to serve."
The character of the entertainments
given this year, is quite an improve
ment over that of former years. The
program presented by the Temple
Singers was delightful. Nothing but
unstinted praise has been heard con-
cerning their work, and it is safe to
say, that no course will be complete,
without their appearance, whenever it
is determined to conduct another
series.
An orator can produce as much
music and harmony as any other sort
of vocalist, so the public can expect
a high class Of entertainment when
Governor Brough makes his initial
bow to a Pocomoke City audience.
