What
Was
It,:
By Harry Douglass

.-o-o..o--o--o~<- ae-so-~0-as"
1t was a quiet, southern night.
The sky seemed just above the
rambling line of the tree tops, a
sea-blue arch freckled with wink
ing stars. II was truly one OF
those nights when man and beast
and fowl pause under the southern
sky, and quietly absorb the heav-
emily serenity shimmering down to
them from the hands of their Crea-
tor.
With hearts kissed by love and
warmed by the beauty of this
tranquil night Ma and l slipped
along in a skiff on the calm, mud
dy bosom of the Father of Waters,
We were returning home, after a
brief visit with Pa, a nightwatch-
man on a string of logs three or
four miles farther up the river,
was a happy, carefree lad of
twelve at the time. | had been
schooled in the ways of the river
and woods.
AS we neared the peaceful little
settlement, where love had settl-
ed in our home to stay, fusion of
voices glided out to us. from the
dimly-lighted' windows of the
neighborhood' Baptist church.
Roll Jurdn- roll Roll Jurd'n
roll. Way down yondah whah tn
sunrise, ah'm gontuh sit on tn
gold'n sho'
Out across the smoothly flowing
river through the elysian hush
came this age-old spiritual 1t
trembled forth from the sobbing
threats of my slave-scarred people,
my people who childishly believed
only death could free them from
the misery following them up from
slavery.
l felt a tightness in my young
throat as | drifted out there on the
Mississippi listening to this spiri-
tual. My heart became heavy and
full. | gritted my teeth and star
ed through tearflooded eyes at
Ma, upon whose breast l had often
sobbed out feelings l could not UNI
derstand.
Her voice, rich and soft and
clear, joined in with the plaintive
voices coming from the shore.
Roll Jurd'n roll, Roll Jurd'n
roll. Way down yondah whah tn
sunrise ah'm gontuh sit on tn
gold'n sho'.
Gradually, the voices melted to a
low, measured moan. 1t was
moan that sagged under the united
weight of a peoples sorrow-a
people who brooded inwardly and
longed outwardly for freedom from
the unchristian grip of a slavish
tradition.
Mas soft moan Ooh I'll never for
get IT'D called forth the feeling
seething in my youthful heart. l
pulled in my oars, crawled back
in the skiff to her. On her breast,
with my soul clutched by some
thing | could not understand,
sobbed out a bitterness that shook
my youthful frame.
The soul of crushed but un-
dying race was in that spiritual.
can not explain it here. 1t e.
ludes my every effort to capture il
in words. But to those who are
wiser in the ways of God than l.
ask: Why was l a mere boy
crying? Why was Ma singing with
her very soul in each word, and,
at the same time, patting my little
| woody head with soothing, un-
derstanding hand? Why, | ask,
did everything, even the broad
river on which we were floating,
seem to be. listening to those voices
coming from the sobbing threats
of my people? Why?. What
was it? End

CLETUS TOWNSEND
BROWNS sun. LAST

A drowning surrounded by tragic
circumstances occurred at Public
Landing, bay resort short distance
from Snow Hill, Sunday morning
about 6 o'clock when Cletus Townsend
q year old resident Of Salisbury, was
struck on the head by the swinging
boom of the sailboat in which he was
an occupant. The young man was
accompanied by Bob Ingersoll also of
Salisbury, son Of Mr. and Mrs. Err
nest Ingersoll of Pocomoke, to whom
the boat belonged. Young Ingersoil
went overheard in a vain attempt to
save his companions life.
Miss Fay Lawson, Fl, of Salisbury,
fiancee of the drowned man was also
aboard and an unidentified man. The
party of five left Ocean City by mo-
tor Saturday night for Public Landing
and went for a sail Sunday morning
about 6 o'clock at which hour the
drowning occurred. Ocean City coast
guards are at this writing searching
for the body.

WANT ACTION
in MUNICIPAL
BLDG. PROJECT
sentiaael asors Site At The
Corner pf Clarke Avenue
And. Vine Street
COMMITTEE URGED TO
GET BACK OF PROJECTS

Recent legislation in Congress has
provided the sum- of $156,000,000 post
office buildings; and 4s300,000,OQ0 for
P. w. A. projects.
A recent meeting of citizens in Po-
comoke revealed the almost universal
desire for a post office and also for
a municipal building, and the procur-
ing of them was left to the Mayor
and City Council.
Discussion mainly settled on mum
cipal building, and, of course, as mat
tiers stood, the Council was authorized
to select the site for this towns most
needed improvement. Mayor Ross
stated that options had been taken
on two localities-one corner Front
and Second; the Hoblitzell property;
the other, corner Clarke Avenue and
Vine Street.
Since that time all effort has been
made to obtain the prevailing senti-
ment as to the two aforementioned
corners. That sentiment seems to re-
veal, in no uncertain way, that the
second site mentioned above, is the
better of the two. Arguments are
self evident. 1t is in the business
section, more central, therefore more
convenient. For the purpose the build
ing would be used, this site recon-
mends itself very we'll and the Council
would make no mistake in such a
choice.
But, and here is very important
phase of the situation-there' no
chance of securing either post office
or a municipal building, unless Po-
comoke's application is early on the
scene. The Government is not going
to pass out on a platter moneys for
local improvement, unless work and
plenty of it, is evident.
At present, things seem to be NOV
ing slowly; inertia will not accomplish
the object Pocomoke is working for
and it would be we'll for Council, Plan
ming Committee and all others who
can, to get back of these projects,
push, and push hard.

Well, l reckon the United States
will have to give the Davis Cup,
worlds most coveted tennis trophy, a
long, loving and final kiss. That's
about the only way we'll ever get it
to our lips. Just to think, we didn't
get outside the 12-mile limit this year,
in our effort to bring the mug back
home. That man Bulge. budged it a
little way from the foundation on
which it seems to be riveted, but the
other Antipodean racketers showed it
down in it's place again. Oh! We shades
of Tilden, Vines, and the rest of 'em.
What's going to be done about it?
Guess We'll have to turn the cup into
a prize for professionals to fight for.
Then, I reckon, they'd all turn anna
teurs again, and where would we be
at?
Well, there's one consolation, the
people won't have to worry any more
about it. Those pesky Germans were
crouched, ready to spring upon US;
France was saying parley vous to US;
and our English cousins had set their
bull dog growing at US; so, now "res-
auiamur in pace" and we'll sleep until
next year, when all our amateurs will
have turned professionals. and the
cup will remain across the big ditch.

where there will be dinner, dance, and

also asked to advise the Committee.
A later bulletin will give the exact
itinerary; in preparing this, the Com
mittee requests suggestions from
members of the Society to help plan
the best possible trip. If any desire
to continue direct to Ocean City from
Easton, or if any desire to first join
the party Saturday evening, they are
asked to advise the Chairman. Fell
low-members and friends on the Shore
are invited to join at each place. If
the Committee is advised in time, they
will endeavor to accommodate you.

A fire Of unknown origin totally
destroyed the home, barn and out
buildings of Mr.. Ira Barnes, resi-
dent of Kings Creek, residing about
Il mile from town, Thursday after
noon.
The fire occurred about 1890 p.
IN. Mr.. Barnes was in a nearby field
at work when he discovered smoke
issuing from the building. The alarm
was Immediately sent in to the Prin-
cess Anne Fire Company and neigh
bors and friends joined in fighting

burned to the ground, only the team
and a few farming implements being
saved

FIRE DESTROYS SMALL
BUILDING ON 3RD ST.

A fire which broke out in wood
house on the premises of Mr.. E. w.
McMaster, Third Street, on Thursday
night of last week threatened for a
while to spread to nearby dwellings
and assume real proportions. The
fire company made quick work, how
ever, in quenching the flames, and no
other building was ignited.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
The small building was about three
fourths full of wood, and the blaze
seemed to have started on top of the
pile. The building was totally de-
stroyed, but most of the wood can be
salvaged owing to the quick work of
the firemen.
