MIR. GOLDSBOROUCH
GETS CHANNEL MARKERS

Congressman T. Alan Goldsborough
has been informed by Mr.. L. M. Hop
kins, Superintendent of Lighthouses,
Fifth District, Norfolk, Virginia that
materials and equipment for channel
markers in Sinepuxent and Chincotea-
que Bays, have been purchased. He
further advised that as soon as infor-
nation is received from the Depart
nent of Labor regarding wage scale,
bids will be invited to do this work
by contract.
Because of the severe ice conditions
which existed during the winter, the
markers are very much needed, and
Congressman Goldsborough has asked
the Superintendent of Lighthouses to
do everything in his power to expedite
the replacing of the markers.

Messenger WithdralUs
From His Candidacy

Although convinced he would have
had an even chance to defeat Hon. T.
Alan Goldsborough in the coming cleo
ton, Mr.. H. Burdette Messenger, Re-
publican of fredericksburg, Md, has
withdrawn from the race.
In conference Monday with Sen
ator Harry T. Phoebus of Somerset,
Mr.. Messenger, who had filed his GER
tificate of candidacy for Congress,
stated that he was withdrawing from
the race in order to leave clear field
for Senator 0. Straughn Lloyd, Wi
comico, who also seeks the nominal
ton for this post. Mr.. Messenger
was candidate at the last election,
but was defeated by Mr.. Goldsborough
and Mr.. Lloyd, well known in bust
ness and political circles of the Shore,
is a iT-eess::c1.ert of Salisbury. For years
he has been engaged in the produce
brokerage business, and served as a
member of the Wicomico Delegation
in the Maryland House of Delegates.
Now serving his first term in the
State Senate, he has already made a
name for himself, and welded pow
erful influence at the regular session
and at the Special Session just closed.
He will make an active campaign
against Mr.. Goldsborough, who it
now appears, will not be opposed
within his own party.

Now, if you would interview any
one of these morons I've mentioned,
they'd likely tell you there was an
other one in the newspaper business
in Pocomoke. But don't you believe
'em. That's only another form of
their insanity. Just as soon as the
baseball season comes in, they get in
