Democrats S Pen

Well, Sir, l see by the papers tnaC
our county seat has been woke up"
by some sort of ruckus with the
"cul'lud folkses". Some "out-of-state"
temporary residents who came up to
help out in the canning business, ap-
parently mixed corn juice with the
tomato juice, quick fermentation set in
and thus the fermentation.
I don't blame those Snowhlliers
from sitting up and taking notice, be-
cause when our dusky citizens begin
to feel the exhilarating effect of con-
coctions such as mentioned above, they
certainly know where to find a "rah-
zer" mighty quick, or locate a shoot
ing iron, and they don't look carefully
enough at where they're aiming. Best
place for them is the hoosegow, or q
railroad train running anywhere ex-
cept in our direction.
But, how-ome-ever, nothwithstand-
ing, and nevertheless, I got a crow to
pick with those same Snowhillers; or,
at least, with a Snow Hill correspond
ent. One of those rioters was named
Purnell, and blest if he wasn't pub
lished as hailing from Pocomoke City.
Now, anybody knows that there never
was Purnell, that didn't come from
Snow Hill, be it male or female, white,
black, yellow, or red. The man who
wrote that account for the papers was
sadly lacking in genealogy, and I ap-
peal to the oldest inhabitants of Court
House town, if I'm not right about
the origin, rise, and subsequent his
tory of the Purnell name.
can recall not so many years ago,
that a complaint was lodged against
Pocomoke for supplying the jails of
Snow Hill with an element which was
undesirable, and which was calculated
to soil the good name and disturb the
irenic character of the citizens every
day coming and going. told them if
they didn't like the Jail and all that
was contained therein, to send it down
to Pocomoke and we'd take care of
it. Some of my good friends in the
county seat have never been quite so
good since.
Still, while they object to moving
the Court House and the Jail down
here, they don't mind stamping some
African disturber of the peace with a
Pocomokian post mark; and I say he
amt no property of ourn and the sis
ter city can be assured we aren't at
all jealous of what is "hern." She can
have 'em and keep 'em. There amt
no Purnells down here, and there new
er was one, I repeat, anywhere except
in Snow Hill.

WAR SCARE IN
EUROPE HALTED
FOR CONFERENCE
Four Nations To Discuss Wheth-
er Europe Shall Have An
other World War
NATIONS OF THE EARTH
PRAYING FOR A PEACE

The situation in Europe, in so far as
the danger of a World War is concern
ed, seems to indicate that Herr Hitler
has been told, "Thus far shalt thou
come and no farther"
The press of Thursday morning
gave out that he and representatives
of Great Britain, France, and Italy,
were to have another conference that
day yesterday and it is the general
sentiment of the European press that
the worst is over.
Conditions in war-menaced sections
seem to be full of contradictions.
France and England were reported as
having backed down and were ready
to accede to Hitler's demands, and
even ready to force the Czechs to obey
the Huns orders. Chamberlain was
even cartooned as riding astride the
British Lion, which, with tail between
his legs, was bearing the English
Premier back from his comfab with
Germany's dictator. France was
equally lenient with Der Fuhrer.
Soon, however, France was saying,
"You strike a blow at Czechoslovakia
and We'll turn our forces loose"
Mobilization went on; France began
to fortify her borders. England as
sembled her fleets. Both countries
were setting troops in motion, and a
friendly hand was being waved at
them from Russia. All this, in the
face of very recent accounts of sub
mission to the will of an autocrat.
Public opinion appeared to be back
of this change of point, as we'll as a
declaration from President Roosevelt
to the effect that, at least, he was in
favor of peace. Germany has made
rapid strides since the World War,
mainly because she threw up the
sponge in that contest before the
Allies could enter her gates and give
the country some of the treatment it
had accorded beleaguered France. Her
fields were not devastated her manu-
factories left intact; her gun shops
still turned out ornaments; and her
man power in nearly 20 years has re-
turned to it's normal figure.
True, she lost some territory, and
the Versailles Treaty was intended to
hamper her progress; but, like all 9TH
ers, it has been only scrap of paper;
Mussolini advised the world it was
no use to try to make good on it.
Recent addition of Austria and now
attempts on Czechoslovakia, show how
it is adding strength to strength and
working it's way slowly to the sea.
If the worst should come, every
thing points to the subjugation and
annihilation of the German state.
Such a menace to the peace of Europe
will not be allowed to exist. The af-
fected powers will not err second
time, and there will come a division
that will scrap the present German
possession, and divide them among
more irenic peoples. Hitler, evidently
realizes this, and he agrees to con-
ference as the best means of saving
the half loaf. The world is praying
for a cessation of War.

|SANOOKE ONE
|OF WRESTL|NG'S
BEST WORKERS

Big Chief Sanooke, the 370
pound full-blooded Cherokee In
dian, who battles Joe Cox, the dy
manic Kansan, in the cofeature
with Ed Meske-C Chris zahariaS bout
on tomorrow nights wrestling pro
gram at Turner's Arena, is one OF
the biggest athletes in the annals
Of Indian history.
Standing six feet five in his
bare feet, Sanooke is considered
one of the most remarkable per
formers for his size, especially in
wrestling, where men Of great
height and weight are no rarities,
He is 20 years of age and in spite
Of his tremendous bulk is far from
a freak; he Is a well-trained
wrestler, one who learned the
hard way, up from the amateur
ranks. But he had a good teacher
none other than Charley Cutler, q
former world champion, who
taught him the rudimentS Of the
game from start to finish.
And today the Chief certainly
shows that tedious training by an
expert pays dividends. He is with.
out doubt one Of the outstanding
in the profession, and there are
few wrestlerS In action that care
to mix with him. Cox, his opponent
tomorrow, is a shrimp" in com.
pariSon to Sanooke, but the match
further bears out that weight and
height mean little in the oldest
two-man sport in the history Of
man. The Kansan is a rough,
tough customer and should pro.
vide the Indian with plenty Of ex-
citing moments.-JACOBS.

WRIGLEY DENIES.
BIC SHAKE-UP IN
CUBS 80 LINEUP.

CHICAGO, Oct. IL GN.S0.
Chicago's Cubs got rid Of some Of
their post-World Series filters to-
day.
Unnerved by wild rumors that
drastic shakeups in the team were
to follow its memorable four.
straight defeats by the world
champion New York Yankees, the
Bruins recovered part Of their
aplomb when Owner Phil Wrigley
denied he intended any wholesale
shake up Of the team.
Wrigley'S statement contra
dicted previous predictions attrib-
uted to Manager Gabby Hartnett
that the lineup wouldn't look the
same in 1899.
GETTING STARS TOUGH
Wrigley, frankly disappointed
with his teams showing after
their eleventh-hour rise to win the
National League pennant, said at
the same time he would do any
thing within reason to aid his
team. He commented:
1--WE stand willing to make
deals. I've been trying from the
start to get the best available
ball club together, and we will
continue to do that.
But where are we going to
get the men we need? It's all
right to name this player and
that, but getting them is some
thing else again."
CHATS WITH HARTNETT
The Cubs owner was host at a
brief session with Hartnett yeSter-
day. Afterward he said:
81 told Gabby that I'd be here
any time he wanted to talk with
me. I was disappointed at our
World Series showing, of course.
Who wouldn't be? But I don't
think this Is the time to do any
planning.
':I prefer to wait until we
have all cooled off and can
approach the matter Sanely."

Hope for provision of all-day park

lots, at price Of 10 or Is cents q
day, has been virtually abandoned
at the District Building as engineers
tabulate cold calculations Of the cost.
The bill, offered by Representative
Dirksen, Republican Of Illinois, is ex-
pected to die with this session OF
Congress, since it has not yet been
reported out by the House District
Committee.
The Commissioners have named a
committee headed by Capt. H. C.

calculate the cost and submit recon-
mendations. a. month or two longer

sary data, including figures on park

Capt. Whitehurst said.
1t Is reported, however, that infor-
nation so far at hand indicates that
If any private land Is purchased for
parking lot purposes. and the cost
amortized In. 90 years, and II the
revenue gained is to be at least equal
to taxes now paid on such properties.
the price for -all-day parking would
have to be IS or 40 cents a day.
Capt. Whitehurst said his committee
was not yet prepared to state what
would be the possibilities If only Gov
ernrAent-owned land were used for the
proposed municipally-operated park
ing lots.
