"Aboue All Lalu" A
Tremendous Picture

One of the most dramatic and thrill
ling pictures booked for this city this
season is "Above All Law" which
will be shown at the Empire Theatre
next Wednesday and Thursday. The
scenes of the picture are located in
India and the theme deals with Hin
du prince who becomes jealous of his
beautiful wife and in revenge, decides
to entomb her alive. He sends to
France for a celebrated architect who,
on learning the nature of the task
imposed upon him, refuses to obey
orders, thereby involving himself and
his fiancee, who has followed him to
India, in great trouble. The story,
despite it's numerous thrills, has
happy ending. The production is said
to be one of the most massive and
beautiful shown in this country in
many months. The cast is made up
of leading European screen players,
and all of them are artists to the
finger tips.
"The Banded Woman" featuring
Betty Compson and Richard Dir, will
be the attraction Monday and Tues
day.

Ne.U Telephone Directory
Distributed This Week

The delivery Of the new telephone
directory Of the Chesapeake and Po-
tonac Telephone Company has just
been completed in the four counties
and H. w. Carly, Manager says that
it will be helpful to the company ii
all the users would refer to the di-
rectory before making call and give
the operator the number of the party
desired and not the name.
Continuing, Mr.. Carly said: Gre
quently subscribers will call by name
instead Of by the number and this
makes added work for the operators,
causing an unnecessary delay in the
completion of calls. He explains that,
when the operators are given the
name instead of the number, it is
necessary for her to refer to the di-
rectory to obtain the number before
the call may be completed, as the op-
orator cannot be expected to remem-
bef the telephone number Of each
subscriber.

NEWSPAPER MERGER
MADE in ACCOMAC
Eastern Shore News And Accomac
News Will Be Issued From
Office AT Onancock

An important merger in the news
paper business has been consummat-
ed on the Eastern Shore of Virginia,
whereby the Accomac News Publish
ing Company, a corporation doing
business at Onancock, Va, and the
Eastern Shore News, published at
Cape Charles, were consolidated un-
der one management with offices at
Onancock and at Cape Charles.
In the union of the two publica-
tions, ]. w. Wilson, ]. Warren Top
ping and Eber v. Downes, all of
Northampton county, Va, together
with the original directors of the Ac-
comack News, become directors of the
new organization, which will in all
probability be known as the News
Publishing Company, Inc, of Oman
cock and Cape Charles. John T.
Borum, secretary and gen. manager
of the Accomack News will act in the
same capacity for both papers.
The separate editions of the two
papers will continue, retaining the in
dividual points of each that have ap-
pealed to the subscribers, and at the
same time, inaugurating new and at
tractive features as time and oppor-
tunity may offer.
No doubt this will be of great bene-
fit to both Onancock and Cape
Charles. The men at the head of the
Accomack News are progressive and
capable and will give great service to
both places.
The Democrat has purchased a
part of the comparatively new equip
ment of the Cape Charles paper.

HAND INJURED WHEN
CAUGHT In PLANER
E. J. Bevans Suffers Painful Injury
Thursday Morning While AT
Work At Young's Mill

Everett j. Bevans was severely in
jured on Thursday morning at Young
& Sons mills, by planer in which
he was unfortunate to get his hand
caught.
The planer is worked without a
guide, the hand of the mechanic be-
ing used to press down the board on
the knives. Mr.. Bevans' hand slipped
on the knives and was severely cut
in the palm.
He was first given attention here
and then taken to a hospital. The ex-
tent Of his injury is not known at
present, but it is to be hoped his hand
can be saved, altho' some doubt was
expressed at the time of first exami-
nation.
Charles Butler also met with the
misfortune to break his ankle at the
same yards and on the same day. He
had unloaded some lumber from a
cart, piling it up near the vehicle.
While he was walking alongside of
the load it fell over on his ankle, caus-
ing fracture of the limb.
The accident, Mr.. Butler thinks,
might have been avoided had he not
attempted to keep the lumber from
falling. The sudden strain on the
member proved too much for its
strength and thus the break.
His leg was set and at this writing
he is doing las well as could be ex-
pected.

E.S. MADDOX SELLS FIRE
INSURANCE BUSINESS
H. Merrill Walters Takes Over All
Policies. Former viii Continue
To Sell Life Insurance

Eugene S. Maddox, one of POGO
moke's prominent insurance men, has
decided to abandon that branch OF
his business devoted to fire policies
and will, in the future, concentrate
his attention upon life insurance.
He has, with that end in view, dis
posed of his fire business to H. Merrill
Walters, another member of the pro-
fession. Mr.. Walters will take owe,
all the policies written by Mr.. Mad
dox and will give the same careful at
tention to Mr.. Maddox clients as that
gentleman is known to have done. Mr.
Walters will also have as his valua-
BILE assistant, Miss Mamie Hughes,
who has so we'll served Mr.. Maddox,
and whose knowledge of the business
had made her a necessary adjunct to
her former employers force.
Mr.. Maddox will, undoubtedly, push
the special line of work he has adopt
ed to a successful finish. With a
pleasing personality, an energetic
disposition, and standing of deserv-
ed confidence, he will get results.
Mr.. Walters can be depended upon
to serve his already large clientele
without embarrassment by his added
responsibilities, and the public can
he congratulated upon having these
two men to answer all calls in the in
surance line.

MILITARY TRAINING
CAMPS SOON TO OPEN
Government Urges Those Interested
To Get In Touch Now With
Officer In Charge

The aim of the Citizens Military
Training Camps is the complete de-
velopment of all. qualities that make
for good citizenship. The fact that
the men who attend these camps learn
in the process, few of the things
found necessary in the defense of the
country should offend no one except
those desirous Of a forcible change in
political organization. 1t has been
proven by experience that the quail
ties developed at these Camps,-a
healthy physique, an alert mind, con-
sideration for authority, cooperation
with others, sense of fairness and
loyalty to the common weal-are of
at least some value to the nation in
times Of peace.
The development of these qualities
is the object of all drill, athletics, lee
lures, and personal contact at the
Camps. That the object has been at
tanned is attested by the characteris-
tics and personalities of the thou
sands of young men who have gradu-
ated from courses in these Camps in
the past years.
Those interested in the Citizens
Military Training Camps may obtain
further information from local repre-
sentatives of the Military Training
Camps Association or from the Off
Ger in charge Of CMTC affairs, Third
Corps Area, Standard Oil Building

BENEFIT SUPPER
TO Be SERVED FOR
LOCAL GUARD co.
Women Of Pocomoke win Prepare
Feast To Be Served In Two
Churches Friday, May 30
PUBLIC ASKED TO SUPPORT
THIS WORTHY ENTERPRISE

The local National Guard Military
Company is making an effort to SCI
cure fund enabling them to provide
themselves with certain accessories
which other companies have and which
are intended to make their enlist
ment service all the more attractive.
1t is the purpose of those looking
out for the welfare Of the boys to
purchase athletic and musical de-
vices; to purchase such articles as
will make their camp life more COM
Portable; to buy divisional insignia to
place on the sleeve Of their uniform;
and in many another way contribute
to the comfort and pleasure of the
company.
The ladies of the town have ex-
pressed themselves ready to cooper
ate, and have proffered their services
for the preparation Of big supper
to be held on Friday May 80 Deco
ration Day.
Such a ready response to this effort
is expected that it has been thought
best to make use Of the parlors Of
two churches-the Presbyterian and
Methodist Protestant. Therefore, on
the evening mentioned, the big crowd
expected will find the doors of both
churches open, and accommodations
adequate to meet the demand.
The menu will be in line with that
sesrved on such occasions, and peA
in. this community know what that
means. In another issue OF, the
Democrat more particular announce
ment will be made as to this.
The company is particularly de-
sirous for every one to know that all
moneys taken in will be expended
upon the local company. There will
be no natural nor district draft upon
the fund; every dollar goes to the
home organization
There will be a small percentage
given to the Ladies' Aid Societies of
the two denominations managing the
suppers; outside of that, all receipts
go into the treasury of the home or
ganization.
Another thing to remember con-
cerning this matter is, that the
healthy life of this militia will result
in material advantage to the town
in the way of an armory building, e.
rected by the State.
In other towns these have made a
substantial contribution to the archi-
tectural beauty of the place, and as
other towns have secured them, there
is no reason why Pocomoke should
not. Therefore, besides the individu-
al comfort of the enlisted men, the
good people of this city have an op-
portunity to contribute to the general
good of the home town, and they can
be assured their money will not be
thrown away. Support the supper,
and you are putting in a lick for the
boosting of Pocomoke.

URGES EMPLOYMENT OF
WORLD WAR VETERANS
Governor Ritchie In Proclamation
Makes Plea For Rehabilitated
Soldiers.

World War veterans are being
trained in almost every industrial and
professional field, one hundred and
ninety of them beng released from
training during May, June and July.
These men are being trained not only
IN schools but are being actually
trained with industries featuring their
particular vocation.
The American Legion calls atten-
ton to the Governors proclamation
Of May 18th on the employment of
World War veterans, rehabilitated by
the United States Veterans, Bureau.
The proclamation follows:
Whereas, There are, throughout the
State Of Maryland, service men of the
World War, incapacitated in that SER
vice, who are carrying on in an effort
toward rehabilitation through voca-
ional training, so that they may a.
gain take their place as productive
citizens, and,
Whereas, This Vocational Training,
carried on by the United States Vet
erans' Bureau, and aided by The A
merican Legion and other service or
ganizations, has progressed to the
point where men are being released
from this training each month as be-
ing fully equipped to take their place
in our civic and industrial Life:
Now, Therefore, I, Albert C. Ritch-
lie, Governor of the State Of Mary
land, do call upon the citizens Of this
State who may need workers in any
capacity, to consider the possibility
of using these men who have demon
strated their merit by their service to
their country and their fitness by pre-
pairing themselves for return to ap-
propriate places in civil life.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State Of Maryland.
Done at the City of Annapolis in
the year of our Lord, One Thousand
Nine Hundred and Twenty-four.
