EXCITEMENT CAUSE OF
MANS DEATH THURSDAY
Frank Griffith Dies At Salisbury
After Seeing Friend Become
EntangIed In Machinery

The Salisbury Evening Times OF
Thursday, contains the following ac-
count of a death in rather peculiar
circumstances:
Excitement, caused by the danger
which threatened his co-worker whose
clothing had become entangled in ma
chinery, caused the death af Frank
Griffith, aged 65, a machinist of Har-
rington, Del.
After hearing the testimony of D1
Jesse r. Wanner and other witnesses,
a coroner's jury returned verdict of
"heart failure"
Griffith, with NJ. p. Ketchline, OF
Milford, Del, was employed to install
new machinery at the plant Of the
Berlin Milling Company. The cleo
trical current had been turned on to
test the job when Ketchline's clothing
was caught in the betting. He was
rescued without serious injury.
DIR. Wanner was summoned, how
ever, and gave first aid treatment to
the injured man.
Griffith appeared noticeably affect
ed by the incident and with the re-
mark "this has torn me up badly,
think I'll 60 home" he went to the
garage adjoining the company's plant
for his automobile.
When, after nearly half hour, he
had not returned, search was start
ed. His body was found on the floor
of the garage in position which in
dicated that he was in sitting posture
on the running board of the auto when
stricken.
Gripped in a hand pressed under
his body was a bottle of medicine,
which DIR. Wanner stated may be usd
for indigestion. 1t was not stated
whether the man had taken any of the
contents prior to his death.
The deceased man lives with son
and daughter in Harrington.

.SESQUI- CENTENNIAL
PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Pocomoke Fire Department Could
Furnish Interesting Exhibit. t.--Old
Engine Shown In 1876

Pocomoke City has an old piece Of
fire fighting apparatus which, in the
opinion of many, would be of special
interest to those who are at the head
of the Sesqui- Centennial management.
The old steamer engine, now form
ing part of Pocomoke's most eff
cient equipment, was, so it is stated,
on exhibition at the Centennial Expo
sition, held in Philadelphia in 1876.
1t was built by the manufacturers
specially for the '76 big show, and at
that time was considered the last
thing in fire engine development.
After the Exposition was over, Po-
comoke purchased the piece at very
reduced, price, and when it arrived
here, the town just thought it was
impossible for fire to get away with
any destruction.
When the more modern truck was
purchased, something was said about
disposing of the old standby, but it
was after decided not to do so. This
decision was reached, probably, as a
result of the splendid water-throwing
power the old engine still has, and
partly from somewhat sentimental
desire to preserve the first real piece
of effective fire-fghting equipment
the town ever owned.
1t is still called on to do service, and
while it is slower than modern ma
chinery to get up power, when it is
ready, it gives a splendid account of
itself. Surely this representative Of
"a 5O-year ago period, should be inter-
esting from historical standpoint,
and as comparison between the old
and the new. The engine should be
on exhibition at the Sesqui-centennial
this year.

Shore Rotary Clubs In

were guests of the Pocomoke Club
last Monday evening. Crisfield and
Pocomoke are waging contest for
best attendance during the month of
May. Both are lowering around the

taine and Clarke, were guests of the
Chestertown Club last Monday, and
the latter also visited the Baltimore
Club at noon on last Tuesday.
Chestertown staged 100 per cent
attendance on Monday and great in

nesday of next week, May 10th. The

il can show the school boys some
tricks about the national pastime that
the younger boys know nothing about.
The game should be interesting.

Explain Purposes Of
Del-Mar- Va Association

Messrs. Hill, Gunby, McCord, and
Russell visited Pocomoke City last
Monday evening and addressed an au-
dience in the Community room of the
Citizens National Bank. The meeting
was for the purpose Of setting forth
the purposes and aims of the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore society.
Owing to inclement weather, the
number that attended was not as
large as had been anticipated. The
result of the meeting was a resolution
introduced by C. E. Byrd to endorse
the Del-Mar-Va Association, and to
subscribe to as many memberships as
may hereafter be ordered by the Board
of Directors. The entire resolution is
also subject to ratification by the
Board.

important is by the insistence that
the teachers themselves live as they
would teach their pupils to live.
Everywhere the selection and reten-
ton of teachers depends upon char
acter, education, training and expert

character.
The second insistence is upon or

Industry and honesty and sobriety
cannot be effectively taught as ex-
traneous lessons, but are habits
which are gained in schools where
the full school days work is done
by the teacher and pupils working

The third insistence is minimum

aim that the daily--practice may be

Not long ago, a roomful of bishops
declared:
1--WE see in our land tens of mil
lions of men and women who
acknowledge no connection with re-
ligion and, as a result of this, a
large proportion Of our children are
growing up without religious influ-
ence or religious training Of any
sort"
A great university president read
this report and added his oracular
words:
THE accuracy Of this statement
by the bishops cannot be doubted"
But you and do doubt it, for we
know more of American homes than
do bishops and university presidents.
If this statement means anything,
it means that bishops believe than in
homes where parents are not church
members there can be no religion.
bors' homes better. We are told that
Benjamin Franklin and. Abraham
Lincoln were not church members,
but we have ample evidence that
their children daily experienced re-
ligion. We know that in countless
homes, without church membership
or Sunday School affiliation, the
child Is taught by precept, example
and experience to walk uprightly,
to visit the widow and fatherless IN
their affliction and to keep himself
unspotted from the worldy
ff this statement means anything,
It means that the bishops believe
there can be no religious influence
in a school without theology. We
know that children who for hours
each day work side by side with
teachers who are persons of deep
personal faith, sanctified lives and
ennobling ideals. that such children
can not be said to be growing up
without religious influence of any
kind.
These earnest men accept the
strange belief that instruction in
dogma, intellectual assent to creeds.

these mental feats will result in gra-

No church ordinance produces
