CURB and GUTTER
FINISHED ON One side

Curb and gutter work on the pro-
ject of widening Market Street has
been finished, winding up at Tenth
Street, the city limits on one side of
the highway. All cement work, in
Guiding sidewalks, additional road
bed. sewer vents and the rest will be
completed on the south side before the
widening is commenced on the oppo-
site, so as not to impede traffic.
Linemen are busy now setting back
poles and removing the excess numbr.
The wires for the new lighting sys-
tenn will be laid under the side walks,
similarly to that on the squares al
ready widened. The same kind of or
namental lamp will be used and these
should make wonderful improvement
when the entire job is finished.
The rainfall of Wednesday night
and Thursday morning caused cave
in at the corner of 18th and Market
resulting in the collapse of a section
of the newly laid curb and gutter
This however, in the opinion of the
contractor. can be lacked into place
and made good. The entire widening
should take more than another month
to be finished.

And speaking of the three RS,
seems to me somebody connected with
the Somerset News" should bone up
a little on their 'rithmetic. There was
a little item in last weeks issue in
tending to nail the claim of certain
people that the Democrats were in
ducing the Negroes to register as
Democrats in Somerset County. To
illustrate the falsity of that bit of
propaganda, the statement was made
that in one of the districts where
there were 447 voters only 3 were
registered as Negroes. Now, he said
he did know much about 'rithmetic
and then proceeded to prove he told
the truth by saying that was 81 per
writer and Mr.. Smith together and
see if l can't find somebody who can
give them night lessons in 'ritin' and
'rithmetic, because their readin would
look so much better when it was in
print or painted on the side of band
wagon.
But we all make mistakes and fire.
quently, we all want to pass the
buck" Mr.. Smiths goin' to lay his
on the sign painter, and the News
scribe lay his on the proof reader
When we get to Heavens gate and
Peter asks US about some little sin
we committed while in the flesh, we
are all going to lay it on our wives
and there you are. We can't all be
perfect.

STATE ROAD OFFICER
MADE CHIEF OF POLICE

J. c. Peroutka, who has been men,
Der of the State Police force for about
three years, was appointed on Friday
night Of last week as Chief of Police
at Snow Hill, by the Mayor and City
Council. The Civic Club later endor-
sed the appointment.
Mr.. Peroutka is twenty-seven years
of age and halls from Middle River,
in Baltimore County. His entire SER
vice as State Officer has been con-
fined to the Eastern Shore. He will,
of course, resign from the State force
and assume his duties as Snow Hill
Chief on September First, succeed
ing Mr.. Randolph Purnell. The new
Chief has recently been married, and
he is of the opinion he will like the
home job rather than his rowing mo-
torcycle life on the public highways.

projectors of the idea of increasing
the number of legislative candidates,

NECRESS SLABS
ANOTHER WITH
PAIRING KNIFE
Gladys Collins Killed BY Rose
Holden. Both Under Twen-
ty-One Years OF Age
ASSAILA\T HELD FOR
ACTION GRAND JURY

A stabbing affray which resulted in
the death of one of the participants
occurred in this city, on Friday night
of last week about 10 o'clock, the
tragedy taking place on Bank Street.
Both parties in the affair were colored
and both females.
The murdered woman was Gladys
Collins, about Is years of age; and
her slayer was Rose Holden, about
20. The former is said to live in or
near Stockton and the latter resided
in Accomac County, Virginia, near
Williams. The Collins girl was struck
over the heart with pairing knife,
and died almost instantly, succumb-
ing in a doorway across the narrow
street which was the scene of the
crime.
Officers Buck and Blades were soon
on the scene after the alarm and took
the assailant into custody. A COR
oner's jury, Justice Riley, Coroner,
was summoned anu d1lcI TIC
confession of the Holden girl and
other evidence, she was held without
bail for the action of the grand jury.
1t is reported that the murderer said
she had been waiting ITO come up
with" the dead woman for some time.
The verdict was in accordance with
the evidence, and the killing was laid
at the door of the Holden woman.
The cause of the fatal attack can
be ascribed to the existence of the
eternal triangle-two women and
man. Jealousy, no doubt, crazed the
slayer, and her strike was straight to
the mark. The man in question was
said to be John Hery, an employee
in local garage. The killer is now
in the county Jail to await the con-
vening Of the grand jury.

Smith. France. Schad. Allen And
Miss Brown. Make Cam
paign Speeches
MEETING HERALDED By
LOUD SOUNDING MUSIC

H. Webster Smith, Republican can
didate for Governor of Maryland. ac-
companied by DR.. Joseph l. France,
candidate for U. S. Senator, and others
came to Pocomoke on Saturday even
ing to further their campaigns for
nomination to the offices they are
seeking.
AS an advertising medium, their
coming was heralded by truck carry
ing loud speakers, magnified musical
instruments and michrophones. After
parading the streets they hauled up
in the vacant lot back of Coffman
and Fishers store, and entertained the
crowd with some very good oratory
from a Republican viewpoint.
Mr.. Harry Schad made the intro
ductory talk and very happily review
ed the political situation seeking to
show of course, why the Democrats
should get out and allow the Repub-
licans to get into office. He was fol-
lowed by H. Webster Smith, who at
tackled the Democratic administration
from the standpoint of economy, and
promised great improvements along
that line. In speaning of the public
school system he intimated that, in
the event of his election, all politics
would be removed from the schools. 1t
might be interesting to ask how long
the present Democratic school offic-
ials would remain in office should a
Republican governor be elected. Some
politicians remind one of the admoni-
ton given by mother to her daugh-
ter, when she advised her offspring
to learn to swim but warned her not
to go near the water. The politicians
are seeking office, but they are not
going near the political waters; all
politics barred before elections.
DR.. France also spoke and, as al
ways, had something very interesting
to say in a very interesting way. He
is an able talker and can always hold
an audience. Wendell Allen, Esq. of
Baltimore, and Miss Helen Brown also
made speeches, and Mrs. R. Lee Hall,
of Pocomoke gave a rhyming toast
to the candidates. Mrs. Mcclure of
Pocomoke, was chairman of the meet
ing and performed her duties in
very satisfactory manner.
The crowd was not very large nor
specially enthusiastic. The campaigner
were entertained at the Parker House
at dinner, and met many people, both
Democrats and Republicans, and all
proved themselves genial and ap-
proachable people.
Mr.. Smith is sharing his guberna-
torial chances with Harry Nice and
L. S. Senator Goldsborough. Some
political seers give Nice an edge
over Smith. and Mr.. Goldsborough
seems to be playing his bunch of con-
tinued success in office seeking. He
is using the "Goldsborough Victory
Tradition" as campaign watchword
and he thinks there is no such word
as fall in his political voca bulary.
He claims he is the only Republican
candidate feared by the Democratic
forces.
However, the Smith and Nice Cam
paigns We're we'll under way before
Mr.. Goldsborough decided to enter the
lists and it looks as if this is to be
one time when his 'Tradition' will be
misleading.

of the accident.
Nearly 100 persons, in various parts
of Wicomico County, were interviewed
and their statements to Officer A.
c. Hubert, assigned to the investi-
cation by Chief Holland, and Corporal
Minnick of the State Police take up
16 typewriter pages.
About so witnesses Holland said,
will be summoned as States witness
ses.
The investigation took more than
a week, the officers working frequent
~ at night.
While declining to comment on de-
tails of the probe, Holland asserted
that the police had made out what he
deemed very strong cases" against
Toadvine.
The information secured by the Of
ficers has been turned over to States
Attorney L. Claude Bailey for use in
the prosecution of Toadvine.
