COUNTY SEWAGE
TO BE HANDLED
AT Low COST
Men Assigned For Work To Co.
Health Officer By Work
Relief Division

A community sanitation project has
been recently approved whereby GER
tain citizens in the rural section of
the county may be assisted to i'm
prove their sewerage disposal, at a
minimum expense.
A limited number of men who are
on work relief have been assigned
to the County Health officer, by the
Work Relief Division of the Worces-
ter County Welfare Board to construct
privies of approved design. Such
privies will be constructed and in
stalled on farms where the property
owner supplies all material, no charge
being made for the labor necessary.
For several years past Worcester
County has had the highest infant
mortality rate in our State.
The Health Officer believes that
this high death rate of infants is due
directly to, improper disposal of sew
erage by way of the open back sur
face privies, lack of complete screen
ing against flies and lack of refriger-
alton of milk and food during the
warmer seasons.
1t is hoped that farmers in Wor-
cester County will take this oppor-
tunity to improve health conditions in
our community.
Approved sanitary privies have
been installed, under the direction of
the County Health Officer, in each
rural school colored and white in the
County. Those not familiar with the
details of these approved privies may
inspect same at the nearest school
house.
Requests for the construction of
these sanitary sewerage disposal units
should be. directed to the County
Health Officer in Pocomoke.

HERBERT O'CONER
ADDRESSES The
LOCAL ROTARIANS
Made Interesting Talk On The
Administration Of Grim
inal Justice In Country

Herbert R. O'Conor, Esq, States
Attorney for Baltimore City and candi-
date for the office of Attorney Gener-
al, was guest of the Pocomoke City
Rotary Club, last Monday evening.
Mr.. O'Conor's visit to the Club had
no political significance whatever and
his very interesting speech contained
no allusion whatever to his candidacy.
The topic of his address was "The
Administration of Criminal Justice.
The speaker gave some very alarm
ing figures as to the cost Of lives by
the agency of criminals and stated
that the loss of life and property in
all the wars fought by the United
States did not equal that brought
about by murderers, fire bugs and
such other criminals.
AS a remedy, he recommended a
speedier trial for the apprehended
as not only a deterrent, but also as
creating a greater interest and at
tention from those conducting the
hearings. He also mentioned that eff
forts had been made to repeal the
law of capital punishment in the State
and expressed himself as opposed to
such enactment. He is of the opinion
that if the murderously inclined was
assured of the safety of their own
lives, killings might be on the in
crease. His speech was listened to
with the greatest attention and was
highly instructive and entertaining.
Other guests of the evening were
ex-senator James M. Crockett, God
frey Child, Esq, and Mr.. Leslie Lock-
erman now of Pittsburgh, but ma
tive son of Pocomoke.

SEVERAL CASES FOUND
OF HORSE POISONING

Three or four cases of encephlm-
'yelitis and botulinus or forage pols-
oning in horses has been reported and
an investigation was made through
Worcester County by DR.. L. j. Peel
ma from the Animal Pathology De-
partment of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
Many horses were lost last year
with encephlomyelitia, disease which
was carried largely by mosquitoes.
The horses show symptoms of spinal
meningitis and die in a few days,
as a rule. Last year there was no
serum that was available for this di-
sease. This year a new serum has
been perfected and can be obtained
from licensed veterinarian for its
prevention and treatment.
1t was reported that number OF
mule owners had used tetanus anti
toxin as a presentation of enceylpomy
elitis. This antitoxin is not the
proper type to use for either forage
poisoning or encephlomyelitis and is
only used for prevention of lock jaw
where the flesh has been torn or cut
Mule and horse owners should be
careful DR.. Poelma states to obtain the
correct type of serum and have the
proper diagnosis made.

OPINIONS DIFFER
AS TO CHANCE
u. S. SENATOR
Mr.. Darlington Thinks Senator

JOHN 3. ROBINS NO
LONGER A CANDIDATE

The publicity bureau of Senator P.
L. Goldsborough furthering his as
pirations for the Governorship of
Maryland, is putting out the infor-
nation that the Senator has decided
he has support enough coming from
Republicans and Independent Demo-
Gratis to elect him in November. He
thinks he will get a majority of $4,000
votes from the Eastern Shore.
Edward c. Darlington, lifelong
political as we'll as personal friend of
Mr.. Goldsborough, is Of different
opinion, Mr.. Darlington says:
Senator Goldsborough and I have
been personal friends for many years.
as matter of fact, ever since the time
he was young lawyer down in Dor
chester county"
Senator Goldsborough has been
signally honored by the Republican
party has been in public office over
period of forty-nine years and he
should yield to younger men.
"The Republican party needs new
blood in this State as we'll as new
ideas Like Babe Ruth, his political
legs are going back on him, and he
should in good temper be willing to
be benched and let younger men bat
out the runs. Senator Goldsborough

In Worcester the Republicans seem
to be divided into two camps; those
fighting the battles of Nice on the
one hand, and of Smith on the other.
Not much is heard concerning the
"Maryland Gentleman" The local
Sc. o. P.'s" are having a strenuous
contest over the selection of state
central committee, victory practi-
cally deciding the leadership in the
county.
In connection with Republican poll
tics, it is noted that John B. Robins,
Esq, of Somerset has withdrawn
from the race for the office of Assoc
late Judge in the First Judicial Dis
trict. Mr.. Robins explains his with
drawal upon the ground of harmony
and a possible defeat for both him.
self and Judge Robert F. Duer. His
action probably is the result of eff
forts of Galen L. TAFT to bring about
situation where primary fights will
be eliminated. He has about aban-
doned such efforts in connection with
the gubernatorial candidates and has
requested that the rivalries between
the state aspirants do not affect the
county line-ups.
1t looks now as if no one of the
Republican candidates for Governor
will go to the State Convention with a
majority of delegates and it will be
up to that body to name the man who
shall bear the party standard.
