Court to open a ballot box without a
foundation by what many consider
competent testimony, having first
been laid therefor, may establish a
precedent that will precipitate the
contesting of many elections in Wor-
cester County.
1t is unfortunate that Governor
Nice vetoed the Bill that was passed
by the Maryland Legislature at the
1886 session which provided a regis
tration of voters for our Municipal
Elections. However, it is understood
that Mayor Ross has instructed the
city's attorney, Godfrey Child, to pre-
pare Registration Law for Pocomoke
City which will be presented when the
Legislature convenes next January.
Every effort will be made to have this
Bill passed so as to become effective
with the signature of the Governor,
thus making it possible, beginning
with the election in April 1889, to con-
duct our Municipal Contests for office
in a more orderly fashion.

declarations of freedom of conscience
and liberty of state. It was a stand
of the people aginst powerful poll

democracy is far from passing into a
state of "innocuous desuetude."
Mr.. Tydings returns to Con-

emphatically by those who knew him

neau and Salmon Creek, parallel to the highway, for the protection of children using their bicycles on this stretch of road.
 After discussion by members pres- ent it was decided to renew the re- quest to the Forestry for foot path since this would not require the expenditure necessary for survey ing and constructing cycle path which seemed to be the principal objection to the construction of the latter. It was pointed out that a great many people walk for some distance along the highway, coming and going to work, and also hiking for pleasure, and that traffic on this narrow road makes walking dan gerous. A foot path constructed near the road would greatly obviate this danger. it was felt by the women assembled.
 Definite decision to reopen its athletic group, organized some years ago, and later abandoned, was pro- missed as a part of the clubs work for next year. Plans will be made toward that end, so that club mem- bers desiring physical training ol other athletic activities may fine provision made for it under gooc leadership.

Juneau's Mary Joyce may go into the movies, according to Norman Dawn, well-known movie producer who arrived in Juneau this morn ing from Hollywood with Bob Web ster, character actor, to lay the ground work for movie using the Taku River as background.
 Golden River" is the tentative title of a picture which Mir. Dawn will attempt to build around cen tral character, an old sourdough.
 T am not just sure what have in mind yet" said Mir Dawn, but the story will probably revolve around a sourdough prospector, his struggles and his joys perhaps he'll hit it and perhaps he won't As for Miss Joyce, MT. Dawn said he had no definite plans for her in the picture, but felt the occasion to use her would probably arise. He plans to use Mary Joyce's Taku lodge as a base of operations.
 With Webster, Dawn will look over the ground for four or five weeks and then return to Holly wood for equipment and cast as soon as he has determined what he will need.
 T am pretty much sold on the Taku country" Dawn said in his room at the Gastineau this after noon. There is a magnificence of scenery there that is hard to dup licate."
