FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
NEGRO KILLED WHILE
ROBBING LIQUOR STILL

A shotgun blast instantly killed
Robert Lee Miles, colored, Friday
night, February 9th, while he was, it
is reported attempting to rob a still
in a swamp on a road leading back
from the Main highway to Crisfield
near Landon's store, Somerset Coun-
ty, and three men and a woman are
being held in the county Jail at Prin-
cess Anne in connection with the case.
Robert Miles, his brother Joe, and
another colored man are reported as
having gone to the still for the pur-
pose of robbing it, early Friday even
ing. While one of the men was bend
ing over a barrel of mash a flash
light was turned on the scene and
then followed the blast from the gun.
The two men who accompanied the
dead man dropped to their hands and
knees and crawled out of the swamp
to the road and made their way back
to their homes in Crisfield. They
made no effort, APPARENTLY, to learn
what had happened to their compan-
ion.
Saturday at noon the Sheriff's of
flee was notified of the matter and
Sheriff Fred .Phoebus and his Deputy
Harold Sterling Investigated. They
found Miles body laying about 81
wards from the still, with a gunshot
wound in his head which had blown
much of his skull away.
The officers Immediately placed
under arrest Calvin Jones and Harry
Crockett, of Crisfield, both white, and
James Scribner, colored, whom they
believe were operating the still, and
placed them in the county Jail in Prin
cess Anne. Later they arrested Jua-
nita Hall, also colored, as material
witness.

JAIL DELIVERY HALTED
BY JAILER JACKSON

Vigilance on the part of Jailer
Jackson at the Princess Anne, Somer-
set county Jail, prevented the escape
of Calvin Jones, who had succeeded
in saving through the bars of his
cell window and had boosted to a
fellow prisoner that he was going to
make his getaway"
Jones, generally known by his nick
name of "Jack," is being held at the
Jail in connection with the investiga-
ton of the fatal shooting of Robert
Lee Miles, 22-year-old colored youth
of near Marion, Friday night, Feb
ruary 9. Unconfirmed reports of the
affair indicate that Miles was killed
in gun battle that took place near
a still being illegally operated in a
woodland near Marion.
Sheriff l Fred Phoebus said this
week that the four prisoners being
held in connection with the affair
were placed in separate cells at the
Jail and only their legal counselors
have been allowed to communicate
with them. The sheriff admitted,
however, that it would have been pos
sible even with the special guard be-
ing exercised for some of jones'
friends to have passed a saw in to
his cell from outside the Jail.
The prisoner apparently secured
the saw in this manner.

HOOPER STUDENTS
WRITING ESSAYS

Celia Leighton lived in a light
house on an island far out at sea.
Her father was the lighthouse keep
er. There were no schools and no
children for Celia to play with ex.
cept her two brothers, but she was
never lonely because of the sea, the
birds, and the rocks she could
limb. She liked to save shells. She
would take the little ones to put
around her neck, and she would put
the large ones to her a to hear
the noises that sounded like the
sea.
When Celia grew up she wrote
many poems about the things SIZE
loved. The one I like best is THE
Sandpiper." She got married at
t~hirty-six. She married a Thaxter
and that changed her name to Celia
Thaxter, and is what we have
known her as ever since.

In July 1852, a little blockade run.
ner, the Kate. arrived in Whining
ton. She stayed but a short time,
but there were some people aboard
who had been sick. Near the dock
where the Kate was wharffed: was
a wood yard owned by a young man.
He was taken sick. 1t was thought
to be jaundice. But it was severe
enough to take his life.
Several other cases of the 'jaun.
dice" developed and some of the
patients died. By the end of August
the number Of cases had grown
alarmingly. FINALLY on September
18th. it vas announced that Will.
mington was in the grasp of a Sc.
rious epidemic of yellow fever.
AS the deaths increased, the PEG.
pie left the city in great numbers.
When the frost came in November,
the epidemic died out.
Many ministers and doctors gave
up their lives to stop this dreaded
terror. The city was unspeakably
depressed and business was almost
entire suspended. But the major of
Wilmington, a faithful public serv-
ant, organized relief work, and ad-
ministered the distribution of sup

One of the parts I liked best
of Gone With The Wind" was
when Scarlet killed the yankee.
Late n afternoon Scarlet heard
a horse. 1t was a lone soldier. A
Yankee! She heard him come up
on the porch, into the ding room,
toward the kitchen. Should he take
all the food? No! She would kill
him. Opening a drawer. she quietly
took out Gerald's pistol and hid
1t in her skirts. When she started
down the steps, the Yankee said,
well. there is somebody home"
He had Ellen's sewing box. He
couldn't take that! Bang" went
Scarlett's gun. Down went the
Yankee. Was he dead? How could
anyone live with a hole like that
where his nose had been. Now
there were two streams of blood on
the floor. She, Scarlet, had com.
mitted understanding she had
thought a terrible crime, and she
had done it herself!

Mounted on each end of the wing,
the device tells accurately on which
side the warm air is rising, and thus
enables the pilot to detect a warm
