CREDIT COMPANY
IS A PERMANENT
ORGANIZATION
Farmers In Worcester, WicOmi-
co, Somerset Can Avail
Themselves Of Funds

"The Salisbury Production Credit
Association is intended to become
permanent organization in order that
farmers in the counties of Worcester,
Somerset and Wicomico may always
have available, during the remainder
of this year and throughout all of next
year as we'll as through the years to
come, regular and dependable source
to which they may go to obtain loans
for their reproduction financing
requirements" In these words, Mr..
Eugene S. Maddox, secretary-treasur-
er of the Salisbury Production Credit
Association, explained the fundamen-
tai purpose of the newly established
organization.
Mr.. Maddox said that despite the
fact that the Salisbury Production
Credit Association has been in oper-
alton for only a few months, it never
theless has closed loans amounting to
thousands of dollars. Naturally any
new organization cannot begin to roll
smoothly" he said, until it has had
an opportunity to learn the best and
most satisfactory methods of oper
alton from actual experience. I do
not say this as an excuse or as an
apology, but simply to show that we
are continually lettering our organ
ization and are not bound to any
dogmatic rules that experience has
taught are not workable"
Any farmer who lives in any of the
above mentioned counties is eligible
to apply for loan from the Salisbury
Production Credit Association. But,
according to Mr.. Maddox, no loan will
be made if it is not soundly and ade-
quately secured. Mr.. MADDOX has his
offices in Salisbury Building Loan
Association Building, Salisbury, Mary
land, and he states that he welcomes
any suestions that may be asked him,
either verbally or written, about the
association. He also said that the
county agricultural agents are we'll
informed on this subject and can give
international assistance to those in
terested in finding out more.

TwO-Day Stay

Harry W. Nice, Republican candi-
date for Governor of Maryland, has
arranged to make Pocomoke City a
visit, he arriving here on the even

course, in the interest of his candid

people possible. He will establish
his headquarters at the Parker House.
Republican interest in the county
seems to be divided between Mr.. Nice
and Mr.. Smith. Prominent leaders
are lined up behind each, and the fight
is merry one. Mr.. Phoebus,
of Princess Anne, Md, the third
Republican gubernatorial aspirant, is
waging fierce personal campaign,
and, according to his assertions, he
has the nomination gin the bag" 1t
is reported that the county Republican
Organization is behind Mr.. Smith,
who is making a vigorous campaign
on the Shore and elsewhere.
Starting Wednesday, Smith deliver
ed at least speech a day until Sun
day. His first appearance was at
Owings Mills early on the fourth.
That night he talked at Patterson
Park in Baltimore at celebratiin of
the East End Business Mems Asso-
citation.
On Thursday, Smith delivered an
address at the Court House at Snow
Hill and on this (Friday) night,
Smith will make a speech in Sails
bury. Prior to the speech, in the af-
ternoon, Mrs. Smith will be entertain
ed at tea by Mrs. w. Newton Jackson,

close the factory. Many of the towns
people agreed, and efforts were made
to violate the code.
"But complaint was made. Investi-
cation brought to light the fact that
the company had been deliberately
trying to exploit not only the work
ers, but also the business men of the
community. It brought out the fur
ther fact that under the NRA code,
the factory was pouring into the COM
munity twice as large a payroll as
ever in the past"
Employees and business men alike
who learn of code violations, for the
good of the community, should de-
mand compliance through the office
of the State Director. Those who
make such demands will be protected
by blanket of secrecy. A rule of the
Compliance Division of the NRA is
that the names Of compliments must
never be divulged."
By cooperation of the business men
and the employees of the Eastern
Shore, compliance can be secured that
will bring into many communities an
increase of at least so per cent, in
the weekly income, according to Mr..
Hungerford's estimate.

STATISTICS ON
LYNCHINCS FOR
THE YEAR 1884
All The Persons Lynched Were
Negroes. No Victims Re-
corded In Maryland

Robert R. Morton, president of Tus-
kegee Normal and Industrial Insti-
tute, Alabama, in letter to the
Democrat" has the following infor-
nation to give out concerning lynch
ings in the first six months of 1884
throughout the United States:
81 send you the following informa-
ton concerning lynchings for the first
six months of this year. I find &C
cording to the records complied at
Tuskegee Institute in the Department
of Records and Research that in the
first six months of 1884 there were
six lynchings. This is 2 les sthan the
number 8 for the first six months of
1882.
"All of the persons lynched were
Negroes. The offenses charged were:
wounding man in alteration, /; rape,
1; attempted rape, 2; associating with
white woman, 1; striking man, 1.
"The States in which lynchings oc-
Cured and the number in each State
are as follows: Florida, 1; Kentucky,
1; Mississippi, 2; Tennessee, 1; and
Texas, l."
1t would be we'll for Mencken ct al
to note that no lynchings have occur
red either in Maryland or on the
Eastern Shore-the "Shore" being a
section sort of ostracized by many of
the highfliers across the Bay, and
therefore, not a part of Maryland.
These maligners of Eastern Mary
land are now invited to vent their
spleen on some of the states mention
ed in the above communication. Peo-
pie here would like to know the deni-
zens Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi,
Tennessee, and Texas, size up with CHS
Chesapeakian humanity. Many would
like to find out if they are backward,
uncivilized, savage, moronic, ignorant,
bestial and all the other blasting cpl
thets which might be applied. They
must be.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN
SPOTTED FEVER
WARNED AGAINST
Also Called Tick Bite Fever, DIR.
Riley Holds Out Health
Warming To People

Because Rocky Mountain spotted
fever-also called tick bite fever
first reported in the State in 1929,
has reappeared recently, in Maryland,
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, warns all who
have any occasion to come in contact
with ticks, to take certain necessary
precautions to protect themselves
against the disease.
Thirteen cases of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever have been reported to
the Bureau of Communicable Diseases
of the State Department of Health
since the middle Of April. Two have
occurred in Baltimore City, three in
Anne Arundel County, four in Balti-
more County, and one each in Mont
gomery, Prince Georges, Talbot and
Worcester Counties. There have
been three deaths. Two were chill
dren under six years of age, and the
third was an adult-a young woman
twenty-four years old. All of the
cases were associated in some way
with ticks. One Of the children had
not been bitten, but had crushed ticks
in his hands.
Click bite fever" DIR. Riley said,
"can be contracted either through the
bite of an infected tick or by absorb
ing the infectious material through a
break in the skin. The infectious ma
terial from crushed ticks will stick
to the hands and may also be acct
dentally rubbed into the eyes, or may
find its way to the mouth or nose.
Fortunately not all ticks are infected,
but it is better to regard them all as
sources of danger and to act accord
ingly. Here are some of the things
that should be done:
Avoid ticks and tick-infected areas.
Remove any ticks you find on your
person as quickly as possible but take
care not to break or crush them. At
ter removing ticks, wash the hand
CllOI Will SOdp dIlU WdlcI. lake
the same precautions in removing
ticks from animals. Cut out under
growths and weeds. Cut grass very
short along paths, near bathing pools
and shores. If your work or pleas
ure takes you through tick-infected
areas, go over your body and your
clothing carefully, for ticks, when you
return home.
Various kinds of ticks are carriers
of the disease known as Rocky Noun
tain spotted fever from the section
in which it was first observed. In
this part of the country the disease
is spread mainly by the ordinary dog
tick, which attaches itself to dogs,
horses, cattle and man. Some of the
CWA activities of the past winter
were directed toward clearing out
tick-infested areas. Brush was burn
ed, underground was cleared out, and
rats and mice were exterminated in
the localities in which the disease was
known to have occurred last year.

AGED CITIZEN
OF ACCOMACK
DIED WEDNESDAY
Was Descended From Long Line
Of Ancestry, 200 Years
In AccOmack County

An invalid for fifteen years, the
last eleven of which were spent in his
bed, Johannes l.. Byrd, of Oak Hall,
Virginia, entered into rest on We'd
nesday of this week. He would have
been so years of age had he lived til
January next.
The deceased was the son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Travis Byrd, and
was born in Accomack County, near
Muddy Creek. Practically his whole
life was spent in his native county,
where he engaged in different pur-
suits including produce brokerage,
dealer in fertilizer and conductor of an
insurance agency.
Mr.. Byrd is survived by seven chill
dren-four boys and three girls: 0.
L., of Salisbury; o. S. of Baltimore;
Walter R., of Baltimore; and j. Mil
ton, of Onley; Mrs. Mildred Mears, of
Salisbury; Mrs. John S. Taylor and
Misses Mamie Byrd of Oak Hall.
Funeral services were held from the
home, in Oak Hall on Thursday; in
terment in Downing's Cemetery. The
active pallbearers were the deceased's
four sons, and his two grandsons,, o.
L. Taylor, Of Temperanceville; and
Kerns Mears, of Salisbury. The hon
orary bearers were: William Moore,
G. Fred Kelley, Senator Jeff F. Wal
ter, Donald Fletcher, John Lewis,
DR.. Dick Fletcher, DR.. Matthews,

age, Frank Savage, R. c. Hall, Ed
ward Taylor and Hargis Taylor.
Mr.: Byrd emanated from long line
of ancestry, including many of the
early settlers of Accomack County,
dating back 200 or more years. His
great-grandfather was Nathaniel
Byrd, a well-known descendant of the
name, who came in early life from
Western Virginia and settled in Acco-
mack.
His grandmother was Elana Cooke,
lineal descendant of the noted Cooke
family, of England and grandaugh-
ter of Richard Cooke Nv, whose great
grandfather, Lieut.. Col. Richard Cooke
emigrated from England and settled
in Malvern Hill, James River in 1922.
Mr.. Byrd was one of the substantial
men of Accomack. His life among
his fellow men brought him the es-
TEEN and love of all who knew him.
He was a gentleman of the "Old
School," Although racked by di-
sease, he never lost his interest in
passing events. He was good talk
er, always welcomed a visitor, and
was cheerful to the last. 1t was a
stimulation to see such an example
of fortitude in affliction even through
admiration was mixed with sympathy.
He spent long, happy married
life, some years back celebrating a
fifty-year anniversary. He was a
member of the Junior Order Ameri-
can Mechanics and a communicate of
the M. E. Church. Mr.. Byrd was for
many years a close reader of the
Democrat" and the association of the
Editor with him tho of no extended
length of time was most cordial. The
Democrat desires to extend deepest
sympathy to the bereaved family.
