Of Clinics

1t is hoped by the officials of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
that those persons who have not yet
made their returns to the Christmas
Seal chairmen of their respective coun
ties will do so as soon as possible.
William B. Matthews, Managing Di-
rector Of the Association, stated that
'as soon as all of the people to whom
Christmas Seals were sent are heard
from the Association can go ahead
with it's plans. 1t is not too late to
purchase these little Seals and help
wage the war on tuberculosis"
Mr.. Matthews also announced the
reports for the various counties that
were made by the Seal Sale chairmen.
The reports for the receipts for Wor-
cester and nearby counties are:
Somerset, 86.75; Wicomico $567.2O;
and Worcester, $181.9O.
Starting the campaign against tub
erculosis early the Maryland Tuber-

LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD
SEEKS A DECISION

Much interest, at present, is center
ing in the point at issue between the
Worcester County Liquor Control
Board and the State of Maryland,
relative to the collection of the State
Sales Tax from the county's several
dispensary businesses. The matter
is slated to be settled by legal pro-
cedure.
The council argument in the case
has to do with the dispensaries as they
loom either in the light of profit
making institutions, or as established
for the purpose only of regulating
the sale and consumption of intoxi-
eating beverages. If they be judged
in accordance with the former n.y.
pothesis, then it is thought they may
be exempt from payment of the tax.
If the latter, then it's is likely the
tax must be Forthcoming.
Of course, it is generally known
that the profits of the dispensaries
are turned over to. the County Com
missioners and the money is turned
into the general funds for operating
expenses. So far, the amount of prof
it's has materially lessened the tax
rate.

WEDDING OF
INTEREST IN
CHESTERT0WN
Former POcOmOke Young Lady
Is Married To r. B. Har-

DAUGHTER OF MIR. AND
MRS. E. C.. FONTAINE

The wedding, on Saturday of last
week, of Miss Alice Elizabeth Fon-
taine, of Chestertown, to Mr.. Robert
Butler Harrison, was one of the spe-
cial social events of Chestertown, up
in Kent County.
The bride is a native of Pocomoke
City as were also her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Clarke Fontaine. Therefore,
the nuptials were of much interest to
large number of friends and rela-
tives in this city. The wedding was
attended by few of Pocomoke's peo-
pie; and, had the weather been more
propitious, more would have been
present.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. Norris Harrison, Of Rydal,
Pa, and Centreville, Maryland. Near
the latter place, the recently married
couple will settle on a farm to pur-
sue rural life. To fit them for this,
it has been reported, both will take
special courses at University.
The wedding ceremony was per-
formed at the home of the brides
parents, and was witnessed by men,
bers and intimate friends of the con-
tracing paaties. Among those in
vited were: Mrs. Frank Patterson, of
Philadelphia; Mr.. and Mrs. John Har-
rison, Meadowbrook; Mrs. Charles
Platt, Chestnut Hills; Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Plat, Chestnut Hills; Mr.. and

MARYLAND NOT
INCLUDED in
LYNCHINCS
Tuskegee Normal President
Sends Out Statistics Of
1885 Killings
EASTERN SHORE DOES
NOT SUSTAIN REPUTATION

F. D., Peterson, president of the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In
stitute, Alabama, sends the "Demo-
crat" the following statistics concern
ing lynchings in the United States
during the year 1885, compiled from
records in the Department of Records
and Research of the Institute:
According to these there were 20
persons lynched in 1885. This is 5
more than the number Is, for 1884;
8 less than the number %, for 1888;
and IL more than the number 8, for
1882. Thirteen of the persons lynch
ed were in the hands of the law; 5
were taken from jails, 6 from officers
of the law outside of jails and were
shot to death in a Jail.
There were So instances in which
officers Of the law prevented lynch
ings. Nine of these were in North
ern and Western States and A in
Southern States. In AZ of the in
stances the prisoners were removed
or the guards augmented or other pre-
cautions taken. In the IL other in
stances, armed force was used to repel
the would-be lynchers. A total of "a
persons, II white and 81 Negro, were
thus saved from death at the hands
of mobs.
Of the 20 persons lynched, 2 were
white and 18 were Negroes. The Of
lenses charged were: murder, z; at
tempted rape, 8; rape, g.; alteration
with man, 1; activity in share cropper
organizing, 1; attacking person, 1;
taking a prisoner from officer of the
law, 1; killed by mob in search of an
other person, l.; slapping woman,
1; communistic activity, 1.
The States in which lynchings oc-
Cured and the number in each State
are as follows: California, L; Florida,
2: Georgia 2; Louisiana a; Mississippi
z; North Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1;
Texas, 2.
1t will thus be seen that neither
Maryland nor it's Eastern Division,
the Shore-the hot-bed of the crime,
according to some-was included in
the list of "lyncher" states; a fact
to be considered by H. L. Mencken
ct al.

FOURTEEN YEAR
OLD BURGLAR
TELLS OF ACTS
RObs Eagle Mills Of Flour And
BOttling Establishment
Of Drinkables
HE AND ACCOMPLISH
NOW IN LOOKUP

Several days ago, Deputy Sheriff
Crawford B. Hillman stepped into
local restaurant, and back in the kit
chen, he noticed IA year old boy,
Charles Robins, by name, partaking Of
a well piled up platter of food.
To Mr.. Hillman's remark that Chas.
had some mighty good friends to give
him such generous rations, Robins
was quick to reply that he had mon
ey, and proceeded to show small
roll of bills. This, the Sheriff at
once confis4 lated, actuated by the
general principle that the boy had no
business with that much cash-about
So, and also knowing something of
the boys career. He had been sent
to Baltimore to a reformatory, from
which place had not been long re-
turned.
Investigation proved that the mon
ey belonged to Mr.. Raymond c. Dry
den, proprietor of Eagle Mills, and
that the total amount stolen was be-
tween $11 and $12. When the boy
was carried down to confront Mr..
Dryden, the negro was found to be
wearing a pair of the miller's gum
boots taken from the mill office, and
not yet missed by Mr.. Dryden.
Questioning brought out the fact.
that Robins had entered the mill by
way of a shute used for unloading
corn into the building and large
enough to admit the boys body. Cain
ing access to the interior, he went to
the. office where he found a bag con-
tanning the money and also found
a flashlight. Presumably with this,
be made his way around the build
ing, and extracted therefrom as many
as 10 bags of flour, probably making
more than one visit to accomplish this.
It was also learned that his specu-
1ations were extended to the bottling
establishment of w. Farrell Bowen,
where he supplied himself with beer
which he sold on the outside.
Y The conclusion was reached that he
was not alone in his activities and by
close questioning, it was soon made
plain that at least one of his accom-
plices, was a negro man, Yves Dash
ard, by name, and that probably he
was the greater transgressor. Off
Ger Birmingham proceeded at once to
arrest Dashard and he at this writing
is resting in the city lookup, along
with the boy Robins.
The city has recently been annoy
ed by petty thieving and the arrest
of the two negroes named in this
incident, is, no doubt, one means of
lessening the robberies. Victims of
housebreakers have, probably, been
little dilatory in reporting affairs of
this kind. A little more prompt
communication with the officers of
the law, might bring quicker results
in the way of capture of the thieves.
The officers have requested the
Democrat" to advise all sufferers
from loss by such characters, to get
in touch with officials at once, and
thus lessen the chances of escape by
the perpetrators.

The ceremony was performed by

Presbyterian Church, Durham. DR.
S. J. Venable of Pitts Creek Presby-
terrain Church, Pocomoke, was expect
ed to assist in the nuptial rites, and
started south for that purpose, but
was compelled to return on account
of snow blocked roads, before he
reached Cape Charles. Miss Mary
Coston, of this city, accompanied DR..
Venable, but of course, she also was
disappointed.
