Going Strong As End Looms In SIGHT
SO FAR Are EVENLY
DIVIDED: PREPARE TO MAKE
STAND WHILE VOTES Are BIG

With honors thus far about even

Times-Recorder's $4,000 Gift Dis
tribution are preparing with fever
ish haste and intensity to maze
their final stand for victory be-
for nine o'clock a week from. tonight
the close of the big second pc
rod vote schedule and the end of
the biggest remaining period of the
campaign. The grand distribution
comes to final fatefl loose just
two weeks after tn eclose of the
big second period.
Surging forward at the rate of
several thousand votes clip par
tlcipants ar edashing through the
final days at top speed-strainign
every nerve in their final effort
for supremacy. And strange as
1t may seem, the great effort and
greatest strides seem to be made bv
participants who are Just starting
to let themselves out. Those who
have therefore, managed to domin-
ate the scores almost at will are
hndlng that now they have com
petition from new quarters, COM
petltors who are unwilling to con
cede them anything, competitors
who are making greater strides than
those old favorites.
Race Is Narrowing Down
More general and concerted ac-
ton should, and will take place

working days days of the big sec
ond period than at any other time
since the campaign began. With
the race narrowing down 30 limit
ed few each of the favorites are
more determined than ever to be
declared winners of first honors.
Interest in the com petition is
running high and strong. 1t is
not confined to any one locality
but has recalled out until there are
huhdreds, yes, thousand of eager
friends who are awaiting the final
outcome with intense interest.
Time for Greatest Effort
Nearing the en- dof the campaign

just now when everyone is work
ing to put his or her competitor
way back in the last row, under
the balcony - there is likel yto be
an epidemic among some of the
candidates. There is a sort of
germ or microbe of some kind that
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1925-10-10

gets into peoples system and makes
them blue and pessimistic. That
microbe is mighty dangerous bug
and the only way to keep that bug
from losing you the race is to feed
it huge amounts of real energy.
Hustle and energy are sure cures
for this disease.
Some become discouraged when
competitor casts a big vote-and
often that is hte purpose in get
ting up an extra amount of speed
to discourage his or her rival. But
one or two of the long subscrip-
tons will do wonders for you. Fig
ure it out yourself.
Can Force Yourself Ahead
Sometimes, forgetful for the mo-
ment of the pleasure from and value
of the gifts, a candidate will stop
by the wayside to bemoan his or
her fate. The result is that those
who hustle more and demonstrate
ambition and energy, force them
selves ahead while others are still
thinking it over.
Anyone who sets to work to make
the most of the present can secure
wonderful results. Each years
subscription that you secure sends
you flying along the road to success.
Great Possibilities Offered
The present vote schedule is the
finest thing possible for every can
dldate, as we'll as those who may
be contemplating accepting, be-
cause it makes it possible to help
yourself so well these next few
days. The schedule is Suggest now.
1t decreases a week from today.
For those who, so far, have only
promises, this big vote period fur
nishes exactly the kind of compell-
ing argument needed to bring their
friends to tine. Nhen your friends
see how much their subscription
will help you if given right now,
they will no longer postpone, but
will make certain that you get the
benefit of the big votes on what
they can give you.
Can you afford to loaf while such
an opportunity is passing? Not if
you mean to help your position
right up to the top where you
ought to be. Remember the entire
race comes to a fateful end in
mighty short time now. Only six
working days remain If this big
vote period.

Head On Collision
On Market Street

Another apparent case of careless
auto driving occurred on Market
street last Monday evening when a
car, trailing a truck, turned out to
pass without noting that another car
was approaching; result-a head-on
collision.
The occupants of one car were
Lark Phoebus, of Somerset county,
accompanied by MI. Hill; and the
other, DR.. r. Lee Hall, of this city.
Fortunately none Of these experienced
any injury; the cars, however, were
badly smashed.
A driver has perfect right, Of
course to pass machine ahead, but
it is well that he survey the scenery
before he does and make sure there is
no approaching car. Should the col
lision take place, the one attempting
to pass is on the wrong side of the
road and becomes liable for damages.

Much Interest ShoUn In
Williams PIT. Association

The Parent Teachers Association,
Williams school, was organized in the
spring of 1924. The patrons show
great interest. AS the attendance at
these meetings is increasing, this CO.
operation it is felt, will be kept up
throughout the coming year.
The last meeting was held on De-
cember a, 1925. A very interesting
program was given by the patrons
and pupils. The Seventh grade con-
tributed much to the entertainment
of those present by a dramatization of
the "Courtship Of Miles Standish."
This work was the outgrowth of the
regular class work in literature.
s@After the meeting those present
were served with refreshments by the
ladies. The next meeting will be held
on January 8, 1926.

Authorities Installing
Mushroom Safety Light

The city authorities are making :,
much needed change down on what
used to be known as "The HILL" but
is now what might be called Market
Space, at the foot of Market street
between the old Ford House and the
Peninsula Building.
The improvement is the removal of
the debris of the old silent policeman
which before its demolition by truck,
consisted of an iron column support
ing an electric lantern displaying at
night the words, keep to the right.
This will now be displaced by a
mushroom light, an oval steel frame
work protecting red and blue lights,
and set close to the surface of che
street. This arrangement can not he
demolished by cars of any kind, and
is decided improvement over the
upright signal. The town can be con-
graduated on the substitution.

POC0MOKE LIBRARY
STILL FOR THE PUBLIC
Now Consists Of Over 1900 Volumes.
Conveniently Classified. -Locat-
ed In High School Building

Several years ago, the Pocomoke
Public Library was moved from the
old Administration building to the
High school.
The general public seems to have
forgotten that this remains the Public
Library, and moving it to the High
school has not made it merely a
school library. Very few except the
pupils of the school avail themselves
of the privileges of this institution.
The library which now consists of
over thousand volumes, has recent
ly been reorganized. It has been cat
alogued and classified according to
the Dewey decimal classification. You
can now receive better service than
ever before.
4 The different classes of the High
school and the Seventh grade have
raised since school opened, the sub
stantial sum of $54.62. This money
has been spent for new books and in
subscribing to ten of the leading
magazines.
| The University of Maryland Glee
Club will hold concert in the Empire
Theatre Friday night, January 1. The
proceeds will be used for further ad-
dition to the library. The help of ev-
cry good citizen of Pocomoke City is
asked to make this entertainment not
only financial success but in extend
ing hospitality to the members of
the State University Glee Club. Ad-
vertisement of this concert appears in
another column.

JAMES BAKER GIVEN
LIFE TERM SENTENCE
Worces ter Court Metes Out Punish.
mcnt To Slayer Of James
Carey

James Baker, the youthful slayer
Of the eyed farmer, James Carey, will
spend the residue of his natural life
behind prison bars, unless, by execu.
tive Gle mency, he shall be pardonet
sometime within the coming years.
This is the second time Baker hae
been be fore the Court to be tried fol
his crime. On the first occasion The
defense introduced the question OF the
prisoners sanity, and the court
thought it wise to allow tests 70 be
given to determine Bakers mentality
He was, therefore, sent to an asylum
for Fermentation. The result O!
this was not sufficient to lead the
judges to commit the accused to a:.s
hospital for the insane; on the con.
trary, he was again arraigned as re-
sponsible, found guilty, and incarcer.
ated for life in the Maryland Peni
tertiary.
The attempt to introduce again the
question of Bakers sanity, failed; M
was tried simply as to his RESPONSE
bility for Carey's death. Baker ac
cepted the verdict with great compos
ure land evidently felt that he wa.
fortunate indeed to escape the gal
lows. He expressed himself as being
now free from all worry.
