BISHOP HUGHES
AT M. E. CHURCH
ANNIVERSARY
WhatcOat M. E. Church, Snow
Hill Celebrates Twenty
Seventh Birthday

Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, of Wash
ington, D.. C will preach on the oc-
casion Of the Une Hundred and Twen-
ty-Seventh Anniversary of the What
coat Methodist Episcopal Church,
Snow Hill, Md.
He will deliver his famous lecture
on "The Biography of Boy" Satur-
day evening, NovsA2nd, at p. M,
for which; lecture a nominal charge
will be made for the benefit of the
new hymnaE fund. = {
In the Fall before American. Meth
odism was organized in December,
1884, Francis Asbury, who became
the first Bishop elected by the Meth
odist Church in America, preached
in Snow Hill, Md. Other itinerant
Methodist ministers had preached in
Somerset County (which included at
that time what is now known as Som
erset, Wicomico and Worcester Coun-
ties) before the coming of Mr.. Asbury
as the result of which when Francis
Asbury came to this section Methodist
Societies had already been formed
and were increasing in spiritual fer
vor and numerical strength.
One of these early Methodist So
cieties has developed into what is
now known as Whatcoat Methodist
Episcopal Church Of Snow Hill, Md,
which will celebrate it's anniversary
on Sunday, November 3rd, with Bis
hop Edwin H. Hughes and the pastor,
Rev. Disston Jacobs, D. D. as speak
ers.
Bishop Hughes is one of the most
interesting and forceful speakers on
pulpit or lecture platform in this
country today and his coming to
Snow Hill affords the people of this
section an unusual opportunity to hear
this prominent divine.

OPENING OF
new RECREATION
PUBLIC PARK
Log Cabin To Be Thrown Open
To The Public And Oyster
Roast Staged

On Wednesday of next week, Novem-
Der 6, there will be'a formal opening
of the Pocomoke City Recreation Cen
ter, with the log cabin as the most
prominent feature. A cut of this
cabin was published in recent issue
Of the "Democrat" and it is reprint
ed above in today's edition.
The public is cordially invited to
attend on this occasion in order to
make it gala evening. Also to help
out in raising sum to liquidate GER
tain expenses already undergone, and,
perhaps, to make further additions
and improvements to this attractive
building.
On the evening in question, begin
ming at $50 o'clock, there will be an
oyster roast which the people are
earnestly requested to patronize, as
the cost will be small and the en-
joyment big. Tickets are being sold
and it is hoped the efforts to dispose
of them will meet with hearty favor.
The Boy Scout Cornet Band will be
in attendance and will discourse mu-
sic throughout the evening. Those
who do not know exactly where the
cabin is located can easily find out,
and it is not more than a mile from
Pcomoke. For more specific direc-
ton: take the new road to Dividing
Creek and turn left where it crosses
the old road. The location is in the
woods straight ahead, and almost
within stones throw of the turn.
A large crowd should be on hand
next Wednesday to help in developing
this resort which could be made into
a most attractive spot. It is in a
beautiful grove, well elevated, and
which has everything to recommend
it as picnic ground. Remember the
date and patronize this worthy cause.

BUREAU CONTEST
Mrs. Randall SpOerlein, Of Car

Speaking Contest

The Women's Speaking Contest of
the Maryland Farm Bureau was won
by Mrs. Randall Spoerlein of New
Windsor, Carroll County, Maryland.
Miss Margaret B. Pahlman, Of Eas-
ton, Talbot County and Mrs. Grace
Rambo, Queen Anne County tied for
second place one point behind the
winner. Mrs. Mary McGolerick Of
Frederick County placed fourth. Mrs.
Spoerlein will represent Maryland in
the national contest to be staged in
Chicago early in December.
Mrs. Spoerlein portrayed the first
American home, the pioneer home as
one of character and courage-This
early home, Independent and self-suf-
ficient laid the foundation Of our Ma
ton, ga Nation proud, Independent
and unafraid." She went on to point
cut that today the rural home is no
longer isolated or self-centered but is
in constant touch with the world thru
the press and the radio. The farmer
is informed on world events and prob
lems-The farm home has expanded
its horizon. "This information" she
said, "has started movement for bet
ter marketing of farm products, a
balance of production and demand
for the value due the producer"
In closing she pleaded with the far
mers to help themselves by stating:
"The world is challenging US; the
tillers of the soil, to make safe the
industry that we love and the industry
that feeds the millions; to build that
industry upon the foundation of right
thinking, square dealing with coopera-
tive effort. The challenge comes to

soul and body, who are bold, persis-

DAMP WEATHER CREETS|
HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION

A wet, misty, evening put some
what of damper on the Halloween
celebration last night, but the Youth
were out in fairly good numbers and
were hilariously happy.
There. were some fireworks injected
into the occasion, which is, unusual;
but, inasmuch as it is said that 900
of young people is noise; this was to
be expected. AS rule, tho, the GUS
tom should not be allowed, if it be
possible to police it to the extent of
prohibition. Costumes last night
were varied and striking, and young
and old seemed to enjoy themselves.

One HUNDRED
ROTARIANS IN
POCOMOKE CITY
Inter- City Meet Brings Crisfieid,
Princess Anne, OnancOck
And Locals Together
DIR. GILBERT w. MEADE
SPEAKER OF EVENING

Over one hundred Rotarians gath
cred in this city on Monday evening of
this week to take part in an inter-
city meeting promoted by the POGO
moke Club and participated in by the
clubs from Onancock, Va, from Prin-
cess Anne, and Crisfield.
The regular weekly dinner was SER
we'd in the usual place by the ladies
of the Presbyterian Church, and con-
sisted of turkey and all the fixin's.
It was served in the usual splendid
manner and was thoroughly enjoyed.
After President Ralph Ross had,
in a very happy manner welcomed the
visitors, he turned the meeting over
to DR.. S. J. Venable, chairman of the
program committee, who requested
DR.. E. j. Clarke to introduce the
speaker of the evening, DR.. Gilbert
w. Meade, president Of Washington
College.
At the conclusion of the address,
everyone felt fully repaid for attend
ance upon this inter-city function.
DR.. Mead's theme took him into the
future, it's problems, and how they
would affect our children and grand
children. He discussed the matter of
machine power and it's effect on man.
ual labor. He touched upon the FIJI
ture of education, law enforcement,
and the status of women. He was;
humorous at times, always eloquent,
fluent, and convincing. He did not
venture to answer the questions per-
tanning to future development, but his
suggestive way of presenting them,
opened up many an avenue of thought,
and, no doubt, caused his hearers to
think of, them in way they never
did Before. ..,.
Succeeding DR.. Mead's address were :
short speeches by Clinton Corbin,
president of the Crisfield Club; C. z.
Keller, president Of the Onancock
Club; and from B. Drummond Ayres,.
of the Onancock club. President
Ross of the Pocomoke club introduced
the presidents and members of the
other clubs, and it was noted that out
of Princess Anne's Fl members, d6
were present; 26 of Crisfield's 81 at
tended; and Fl of Onancock's % an
swered the call. Pocomoke respond
ed with one hundred per cent at
tenance. These with invited guests,
brought the figures up to over one
hundred.
This meeting was the first of SER
les which will be staged by the Clubs
present on Monday evening. The
Princess Anne Club will follow POGO
mokes early in December, and Girls
field, possibly, earlier. It is not
known whether the Onancock Club

Eighteen men started work this
week on one of the approved w. P.
A. Projects approved for this city.
These men are under the supervision
Of w. A. Stroud, former chief of police

In connection with this Linden Ave-

Front Street.
Other streets on which sewers are
expected to be laid are those in the
neighborhood of the proposed negro
school house site, and also from 3rd to
Second to remedy overflows in heavy

LACKS BACKING IN SENATE

North Dakota's troubled political
setup grew more complex Wednes-
day as Nonpartisan League legisla-
tors indicated an attempt to impeach
Thomas H. Noodle, newly elected
Democratic governor, may soon be
made.
Although no definite action was
taken. Nonpartisan leaders Of the
majority house group urged that such
q move be made at = caucus here
Tuesday night ana discussed the pos
sibility Of bringing in . resolution Of
impeachment by Monday.
Administration supporters looked
upon the talked impeachment move
as one designed to control distribu.
ton Of patronage.
From the floor Of the house the
charge has been made by adlninistra-
ton friends that the attack against
Noodle was one to control appoint
ments by the governor. The claim
was made during q floor fight against
q majority resolution calling on
Noodle and Lieutenant Governor
Walter Wexford to produce proof Of
their citizenship.
Would Elevate Wexford
Should the house impeach, Noodle
would be suspended until the senate
takes final action, with Lieut.. Gov.
Wexford elevated to serve as chief
executive during suspension.
Wexford, affiliated with the League
group, could make appointments.
Many officials to be named by the
governor could be removed only for
cause.
An action challenging Noodles
qualification is now pending in the
courts, and a resolution calling on the
governor to produce proof Of his
United States citizenship has been
adopted by the house. The attorney
general Is pushing the action in the
courts. contending Noodle can not
hold office because he did not have
. five-year residence in the state as
required by the state constitution.
Should the Nonpartisan controlled
house impeach the governor, however,
administration supporters claim the
necessary two-thirds vote could not
be obtained In the senate.
Forces opposed to the administra.
ton claim more than 90 votes in the
house, with only 81 needed to approve
q resolution Of impeachment.
Noodle succeeded Lieut.. Governor
Ole Olson, who acted as governor
after william LANCER, Nonpartisan
leader, was removed from the execu.
tive chair following his conviction In
federal court for misuse OF relief
funds. Langer's appeal from his IL
months sentence and fine Of $4,000
Is now pending in the federal circuit
court.
Absence Of several house members
from Tuesday nights Nonpartisan
League caucus was reported Is the
reason for failure Of the group to
take . definite stand on the impeach.
ment Of Noodle.
