SNOW HILL HAS
ANNIVERSARY
To Celebrate The One Hundred
And Eightieth Year Of Its
Founding In 1856
PATH ANNIVERSARY OF
FOUNDING OF PARISH

Plans for celebrating the Two Hun
dred and Forty-Fourth Anniversary

and Eightieth Anniversary of the
present All Ha1lows' Episcopal Church
building, constructed of brick in 1856,
which is to be held at Snow Hill on

The prime object behind the dual
anniversary celebration is to revive
interest in the historical background

copal Parish.
The celebration on May 19, accord
ing to a temporary program which
has been arranged, will convene at

All Hallows' Parish will follow and
will be delivered by DR.. R. B. Mat
news, rector of All Hallows' Episcopal
Church.
Weather conditions permitting,
mmbers of the Parish and visitors
will proceed to decorate the Oldest
graves in the Episcopal Churchyard
at Snow Hill, one of which is said to
be dated 1706.
In the afternoon, after short form
Of evening prayer, an address will be
given by the Rt. Rev. George w. Dav-
export, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of
Easton. Bishop Davenport is expected
to outline the advantages of the early
Episcopal Churches established on the
Eastern Shore peninsula, and tell why
these advantages have not been main
tanned.
At four o'clock, reception to Par
ish members and guests will be held
at the residence of William F. John
son, Snow Hill.
Tuesday evening, May 10, after the
evening prayer is offered, the Rt. Rev.

cese of Delaware, will deliver an ad-
dress. Bishop Cook is now the AS
SCISSOR to the presiding Bishop of the
United States and is also president
of the National Council of the Epis-
oopal Church.
By Act of the General Assembly of
1892, thirty parishes were established
in Maryland Snow Hill Parish being
one of four in this region of Worces-
ter County (then Somerset).
In 1924 the name of the parish was
changed to All Hallows, with the or
iginal boundaries remaining.
Two frame church buildings preced-
ed the present All Hallows' Episcopal
Church building, built of brick in 1856
at cost Of 125,000 pounds of tobacco.
All Hallows' Church was named after
All Hallows, an Episcopal Church at
Booking, London, England. President
Roosevelt drove to Snow Hill in July,
1888, to view the ancient church.
Today All Hallows' Parish embraces
Holy Cross, Chapel, Stockton, which
was established there (then known as
Sandy Hill), in 1774. DIR. Mathews,
who served as rector of All Hallows'
Episcopal Church, Snow Hill, from
November, 1922, to November, 1923,
returned here in May of 1881 from
Newark, Del.

the Field Musics' School at Paris
Island, S. c., this date.
Young DeMar established a record
at the school by graduating in less
than half the time usually required.
The average student must attend
this school for a period of at least
three months before going on duty,
DeMar was placed on the duty list af-
ter an attendance of only nineteen
days at school. He was highly COM
plimented by his superiors for this al
most unbelievable record.
Since enlisting, DeMar has qualified
in the use of all infantry weapons,
leading his platoon by making high
score with the bayonet. The outdoor
life, settled routine, and wholesome
food has caused DeMar to gain thirty
pounds while in training.
He enlisted at the Marine Corps Re-
cruiting Station, Room 325, Post Of
flee Building, Baltimore, Md, 21st of
December, 1885.
The Democrat" is always gratified

and congratulates these young men on
the outstanding recognition they have
received.

ball right in front of you; run all
over the stands, like they do In a
room when a church supper is going
on. and they have splittin' good
time, but the game is not an element
in it at all.

MORE CONTROL SEEN
AS FACTOR IN 1887
Near Outlook Clouded, but Long
Term View Bright, Econ
omist Declares.

Henry K. Hall, economic adviser Of
g. HIP. Murphy & Co., New York
Stock Exchange firm. believes that the
relation" portion Of the present
cycle of controlled economy indicates
completion in many important direc-
tions. From this point forward, he
says. control" seems likely to take a
more prominent position in the eco
nomic picture. He adds:
THE stock market outlook for the
period Immediately ahead is clouded,
I think, by the prospects of new
legislation, which is always disturb
ing, and by the probability of wide
spread and perhaps serious difficulties
with labor.
"Underlying the fabric Of business,
however, is a tremendous demand for
replacement Of fixed capital invest.
ments which should show steady. but
not spectacular. improvement during
1887.
II believe that one can see more
clearly the Fall revival in business
and stock prices than the course of
either for the first three to six months
Of 1887, and equities. in my opinion
will be higher at that time than over
the course of the immediate future.
Business should thus be done on a
decidedly conservative basis for the
time being. with additional sail being
spread later, when the outlook becomes
more clear"

CITIES PAY LESS
TO RAISE MONEY
Credit Standing of Most
Communities Improved
in Last z Years.
(By Cambridge Associates.) }

Never before in financial history
have municipalities been able to
borrow at sucn low interest rates. An
average of twenty 20-year bonds shows
yield OF only ATS, while the best
credits with less than a year to ma
turity are currently sold to yield in
the neighborhood of one-fourth Of !
per cent.
Three factors are chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for placing municipalities in their
preferred position. First and fore
most. Of course, is the condition of
the general money market, which
finds more commercial paper out at
per cent than at any time in the
depression.
Second in importance is the tax
exempt feature. which frees them
from Federal income taxes and sur
taxes and in most cases from State
taxes. Rising income taxes and grow
ing business income naturally increase
the Gesirability Of tax-exempts as a
refuge for surplus funds.
Third, but not to be disregarded, is
the tremendously improved credit
standing of the Nations taxing units
as whole. Whereas in 1882 approxi-
mately 10 per cent of all municipal
bonds were in default, only about 8
per cent are now in default. Tax
collections have been getting better
steadily.
Many municipalities have taken ad-
vantage of the sellers market to re-
finance their indebtedness on terms
which will result in important interest
savings, thus further improving their
credit positions. In recent months
the food of new issues has receded
to some extent. and this. too, per-
haps, is proof OF new conservatism
in municipal fiscal management.
Less favorable to municipal bond
holders is the current urge in many
sections to enact laws limiting real
estate tax rates. This has not become
an important threat as yet, but there
is constant pressure for the enactment
of such statutes.
Adverse Tendency Cited.
Another adverse tendency is that
toward the creation of authorities"
to build and operate municipal power
plants, etc, and so evade the debt re-
strictions binding the parent taxing
unit.
During the past year or two repre-
sentative municipals issued in all parts
of the country have appreciated great
ly. In many cases issues which even
earlier this year were selling in the
lows 60s are now at par or better
While money rates remain low and
the tax-exemption feature rules so
important, municipals can be expect
ed to remain high in favor.
Increase in valuations arising from
the growth of real estate and general
business activity should further i'm
prove the borrowing power of State
and city taxing units. Even though
there is at present lull in new
financing, the upward trend in mu-
nicipals will probably be resumed as
the Federal Government curtails its
relief and public works program and
as citizens demand the expansion of
facilities and services.

NEW YORK, December 3l.-The
electric power and light industry will
spend $685.. .000.0 900 in 1887 for new
construction and maintenance, ac-
cording to Electrical Worlds annual
statistical issue of January 2. A min
imum Of $3.50 100000 Of this amount
will 60 into new capital equipment,
so per cent more than was spent for
this purpose in 1886.
To accommodate the rapidly rising
demand for power, the construction
Of new generating equipment will be
double that of 1896; distribution sys-
TENS will be expanded by over 40 per
cent; power transformers will keep
step with generating machinery;
welding equipment and industrial
heating apparatus are due for an
equally large increase-40 to so per
cent.
The report shows that the number
of customers increased by 715.000 dur
ing 1886 to total Of 26.028, GOO, the
highest in the history of the elec-
trical industry. Meanwhile, the aver
age rate has dropped to a new all
time minimum Of 4.73 cents from
sos cents in 1885.
AS a result of more general use of
electric conveniences, the average
consumption per domestic customer
has risen to TAO kilowatt hours an
nually. against 673 in 1895.
Evidence of the speeding up of in
dustry in general is the 19 per cent
increase in electrical consumption by
wholesale customers. essentially for
industrial use. to $4,000. 600, 900 kilo-
watt hours. This is more than three
time the energy sold for household
purposes.
The value of electrical products
manufactured in 1886 will run close
to 81 l,200, 0,000,0 900, based on reports to
Electrical World by a representative
group Of manufacturers. This COM
pares with 1912 100000 in 1885. s742.-
