SHORE BEVERAGE co.
PARTIALLY CLOSED

Due to the installation of new ma
chinery and equipment the Shore Bev-
erage Company, Salisbury, requests
that it will be partially closed and of
necessity must curtail production for
short period of time.
Gilbert Wilkes, president, states
that the company is installing new
refrigeration equipment to assure abb
solute uniformity of the zest and
head of the bottled product. At the
same time, he states, the bottling ca
pacity will be increased to take care
of the constantly increasing demand,
the watts too are to be resurfaced,
work which the president states was
started some month ago, but due to
the demand for the company's pro-
duct, was never completed.
Mr.. Wilkes states that during the
time while improvements are being
made, brewing will be continued and
it will be possible for the plant to
continue to fill small orders.

STATE WARDEN
WARNS AGAINST
KILLING DEER
Quotes Law On Open Season For
Hunting This Rare Game
In Worcester County

E. Lee LeCompte, State Game War
den, writes to the Democrat as fol-
lows:
eve are in receipt of information
that a report has been circulated in
Worcester County that there will be
an open season for the hunting of
deer in 1886.
"First, this would be impossible as
the General Assembly of Maryland
cnacts all laws pertaining to the TAX
ing or protection of wildlife. There
fore, there could not possibly be any
open season for the taking of deer in
Worcester County until the General
Assembly of Maryland enacts legis-
lation providing for an open season
for the taking of these game ami
mails.
"Section Is of Article SO provides
it to be unlawful for any person to
hunt for any deer within the State of
Maryland at any time except male
deer with two or more points to an
antler, which may be hunted OF killed
in Garrett County-December l to 5,
inclusive; in Allegany County Deem
Der 1 to 10, Inclusive; and on the
Woodmont Rod & Gun Club property
in Washington County-December l
to Is, inclusive; with bag limit of
one buck per day and only one buck
per season.
"The penalty for violation of the
above law is $3Ol (no more nor less)
and said penalty can only be changed
by the Circuit Court of the Counties.
Therefore, our Deputy Wardens
have been instructed to try to appre-
bend and arrest any person who at
tempts to shoot, pursue, trap or kill
any deer in Worcester County until
the statues of Maryland provide an
open season for same"
It may be a matter of news to
many residents Of Worcester, that
the shooting of deer in the county was
even possible, to say nothing of IL
legal, at any time.

EDDY BROS. CIRCUS
IN POCOMOKE CITY
NEXT SATURDAY
Two Performances To Be Given
For Benefit Local P. And
T. Association

When Eddy Brothers Circus ap-
pears in Pocomoke this Saturday, Sep
TENDER 10, it will bring to this city
the finest program it has ever offer
ed in it's 46 years existence. The pro-
fessional talent has been very careful
" selected and features many artists
of International fame. The entire
show is so arranged as to present
a well-balanced performance and will
please both young and old.
Among those of special note are
Miss Hazel Williams, better known as
''the daring young girl on the fly
ing trapeze." Miss Williams comes
direct from a seventeen week triumph
on Broadway. Welbe Cooke and his
wonder horse, Sidney, will please the
folks in Pocomoke just as he has
pleased others all over the g.obe. The
Strong family, aerialists and gym
nists, present an act that is an en-
vious chain of thrills. From the En-
pire Island comes the Eddy troupe
of Australian bareback riders. This
troupe excellS any similar act ever
presented under the white tops. A
Contortionist from Austria who has
appeared before all the crowned
heads of Europe by Imperial COM
mand is "Delmar" who will astound
the most skeptical.
Of course, there are many
others, bu why spoil the enjoy
ment of the show by telling ev-
erything and leaving no surprises?
Sufficient to say that there will be
a herd of dancing elephants, whole
platoon of funny clowns, lots of pref
ty ladies, a menagerie of animals
gathered from the four corners of
the earth, and, oh yes, Eddy Broth
ers, the only circus to present a unit
from Major Bowes Amateur Hour.
Eddy Brothers will give two COM
plete performances on the Elementary
School lot and will be presented under
the auspices of the local Parent
Teachers Association.

A happy reunion took place in Po-

after William went to live at a pri-
Vate home near Annapolis, Md, and
still later Henry came to Pocomoke to
make his home. The elder had slight
recollection of his brother and for
years had tried to locate him and
finally in May Of last year learned
that ne had been making his home
with Mr.. and Mrs. George Byrd of
near town. He Immediately got in
touch with him and the brothers cor
responded until circumstances brouob+
about meeting.
On Saturday night last William
came from Annapolis to visit b;s
brother and the two boys met on the
streets OF Pocomoke. Those witness
ing the meeting rejoiced with the bows
IN their reunion after so many years
of separation.
Both were entertained at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Byrd where Henry
made his home prior to his attach
ment with the CCC Camp at Public
Landing.

The general increase of per cent

Dozen Cities Pass Quotas.
An informal poll showed that in a
dozen of the 78 cities, quotas already
had been passed, with many others
nearing their detectives.
In announcing the close of the
drive here tomorrow night, Jennings
said: THAT does not mean that
we will not continue to accept gifts"
Also, it does not mean that any soli-
citor who feels that his job is not
finished will be prevented from wind
ing up his work.
Herbert L. Willett, jr., director of
the Chest, dug into figures of last
years campaign to show that more
than $500,000 was reported in the
last two days of last years drive.
If the same proportion could be main
tanned this year, he said, there would
be hope of ultimately reaching the
desired goal through the usual sub
scriptions which come in after the
campaign.
New $2,4OO Gift.
A new gift of $2,400 announced to-
day was that of Mrs. William S.
Corby and her two daughters, Misses
Justice and Muriel. The late Mr..
Corby. who regularly gave $2,400 to
the Chest, stated in his will that he
was not making any charitable be-
quests, as his wife and daughters were
aware of his feeling toward charities
and would undoubtedly carry them
out
Chairman Jennings appealed to
both contributors and non-contrib-
utors who have not yet been seen
by q Chest worker.

cannot be expected to reach every

own gasoline, carfare and luncheon
money, but contributing generously

He appealed to "any who feel that
the work being done by the Chest de-
serves more support than you have
given-to sit down, write out pledge,
or telephone the Chest and let some
one call for that pledge"

Disappointed at the showing of the
southeast section in the Chest cam
paign, Clarence F. Donohoe, president
of the Southeast Business Mems Asso-
citation. has addressed letter to all
business men in the section, urging
that they increase their gifts. Arias
Bacas, restaurant man of that Sec
ton, who already has increased his
gift to the Chest, has undertaken to
revisit the business men and talk to
them about gifts on a basis of 65

attention to the fact that Friendship
House. Providence Hospital, Boy and
Girl Scouts, Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society, Family Service Association,
Southeast House and Salvation Army
all are located or have offices In that
section. The Boys Club of WASH
ington also serves a number of South
east boys.
Explaining the work of the Capital
Unit, which solicits the contributions
OF colored people, a statement from
the Chest today paid tribute to these
solicitors. "tramping from house to
house, ringing doorbells, taking cash
gifts as small as rs cents and working
day and night"
Although the unit quota is only
$4,000, 1t was explained, this does not
by any means represent the giving of
the colored people to the Chest. Many
OF them make their contributions
through the governmental department
or business firm by which they are
employed.
The task Of the Capital Unit closely
resembles that of the Metropolitan
Unit. The workers call on housewives.
