LITTLE GLORIA
TAYLOR FALLS
THREE STORIES
Is Unhurt AS She Falls Nearly
Thirty Feet From A Window
To Pavement
SAYS SHE FLEW DOWN
LIKE AN AIRPLANE

Little Gloria Taylor, 21A-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Norman
Taylor fell from third story window
of the Hotel Pocomoke, on Saturday
morning last, struck flower box on
the sill of a first-floor window, and
bounced five or six feet further to
the concrete pavement below; her de-
scent measuring between 80 and 35
feet.
That same evening the little girl,
while holding big doll in her arms
was dancing in the hotel dining room
to the tune furnished by a nickelod
con, just as if flight of more than
two stories was only another event in
her young life.
OF course, a frantic mother rushed
the little diver as quickly as possible
to hospital, where she was thorough
ly examined and pronounced as fit as
ever, with the exception of slight
bruise on the hip. The child was
picked up by a colored man who saw
the fall from distance and reported
the accident.
Since the accident, the victim has
experienced no discomfort. She is
reported to have unlocked the screen
of the window, which is low to the
floor, and slipped out. When talking
to a representative of the Democrat
the little lady said: 81 fell down, just
like an airplane, dog gone if didn't"

WILLIAM B. DUNCAN
in AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr.. William B. Duncan is slowly
recovering from an automobile ac-
cident, in which he was considerably
cut and bruised, but no bones were
broken.
Mr.. Duncan was on his way to his
farm on the Pocomoke River, Tuesday
morning about $3.50 o'clock. He does
not know exactly what happened, but
his car suddenly swerved to the left.
His efforts to right the machine,
caused it to dart to the right and
crash into a culvert, demolishing it
almost beyond repair. Mr.. Duncan
was fortunate to escape more serious
injury.
He was soon found by a passer-by
Mr.. Smack, who was accompanied
by his wife. He took Mr.. Duncan in
and brought him to his home, where
he has been under the physicians
care since. His friends are hoping he
will soon be relived of painful in
juries, and be able to resume his bust
ness affairs.

"Ckirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, when a guy goes away
from home, he's mighty apt to show
what neck of land he halls from at.
He's pretty sure to show whether he
came from Goose Hill, Buzzards'
Roost, Frog Hollow, Polly Henderson's
Neck or some other seaport. He will
likely reveal his raisin' and do some
thing which will make him feel like
jumping through the roof, sinking
through the floor, or flying through
the windows; embarrassed, you under
stand.
Now, being from Pocomoke l should
have known better, but l went to
"ir OF NJ York;, not so long ago
And, by the way, rode all the way
there in my old jalopy lis that the
way you spell IT'D And it was driven
by little lady who certainly knew her
way around. She got into the big
town after dark, FILTERED around cor
ners, swinging around circles, speeded
into straight-aways, got jammed into
the traffic of business streets crowded
with the start of metropolitan night
life, and stopped bang up in front of
the hotel where we were going to eat
and sleep. When we hauled to, / OPP
ened my eyes, drew a long breath,
and offered up a silent prayer that we
had arrived right side up with care.
After we had come to, sufficiently
to know where we were at, we left
the rooms assigned us and went down
to superior, maybe, they call it
dinner, if you are used to anything.
You know, l sort of got woozy when
went into that big room, music play
ing, big crowd of people talking, wait
ers fitting round, lights cleaning, and
1 didn't see where we were going to
sit at. But we freed a table and a
waiter, and was glad enough to get
off my feet.
Well, what I started to tell about
was just how countryman will show
he was "riz" and I done it. You see
when our table was all set, I wanted
some more salt on my corn beef and
cabbage, and I reached for the salt
cellar and began to shake it just as
as clod-hoppers always do, but no
salt. l spanked the bottom Of it with
my hand, held it over my palm to
see if any seasoning came out, but
nothin' doin'. I leaned over and ask
ed my wife,
GLOW do you operate this jigger?"
81 don't know, she came back. But

COLLICK HANGED
FRIDAY, Sep. Is
FOR HIS CRIMES
Goes To GallOws Without Talk,
But Writes That Convict
ing Evidence Was True
TRAP WAS SPRUNG
SHORTLY AFTER TWELVE

The press seems to have been rather
Indifferent regarding the execution
of the Negro Collick, found guilty of
murder, rape, and robbery in the Pill
chard case. Collick was hanged in
Baltimore last Friday morning, only
a minute or two after the hour of IL
o'clock, midnight.
According to one Associated Press
write-up Collick thanked by guards
and the prison chaplain, walked into
the gloomy state penitentiary death
chamber and before the 70 or more
spectators had stopped shuffling for
places Warden Patrick Brady ordered
the trap sprung.
"He never said a word" Brady de-
clared, "but he appeared to be num-
bling a prayer with the chaplain (the
Rev. Benjamin +. Blumbaugh) when
he fell"
Black-robed, the executioner slip
ped the hood over Collick's head on a
raised platform 20 feet above the
spectators and adjusted the moose. Be-
fore many were aware, the Negro
plunged through the trap.
For eight minutes a pin drop could
have been heard. Then DR.. John F.
Aubrey, prison physician stepped for
ward and placed stethoscope over
the Negroes heart.
DIR. Aubrey stepped back at 1917
A. NJ, pronouncing Collick dead IAN
minutes after the trap had been
sprung.
Warden Brady said Collick "wrote
to a sister" during the last hours.
"He said in the letter that what
ever she said was true"
The warden referred to Virginia.

testified at the trial she heard Col
lick and an accomplice Charles Man.
uel, IS, plot the crime.
Collick was convicted Of murder in
Baltimore county circuit court Aug.
1. He was charged, but not tried on
rape count. Manuel, tried separa-
tely on a murder charge alone, was
convicted a day later and sentenced
to life Imprisonment.

POCOMOKE VISITED BY
REFUGEES FROM WAR

Pocomoke was visited on Monday
last by four persons who served to
bring the great war in Europe very
emphatically before the minds of the
local residents. These four were: Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Lehman and their
two children, boy and a girl.
This family had just been released
from the ship "Quanza" loaded with
refugees from France. The Lieb-
MAINS were German Jews who fled
into France and afterward fled that
country when it collapsed before the
German onslaught. Their ship land
ed at Norfolk, and from that point
these refugees were making their way
toward New York.
Mrs. Lehman stated she was ed
ucated in New York, and her daugh-
ter in England. All spoke fluent
English, and told some very interest
ing stories Ito the istener) concern
ing their experiences at the seat of

HON. T. ALAN GOLDSBOROUGH
Judge T. Alan Goldsborough, form
er member from Maryland of the
House of Representatives, Washing
ton, D. c., but now one of the Fed
eral Judiciary, was welcome caller
at the office of the Democrat, on
Tuesday of this week.
Mr.. Goldsboroug was not on poll
tics bent, since his position removes
him from the arena of campaign con-
tests. He was simply social visit
or, dropping in to see his friends, and
seeking to make friends of former
opponents if he had any on the
Shore.
He looks to be in fine fettle, phys
ically, and his friends are pleased to
know that his Washington duties ap-
pear to be setting lightly on his
shoulders.

THE LAND OF THE FREE

America is a country for freemen-not for slaves
Our government is servant, not our master.
Those whom the people elect by their free choice
Represent the people, not the despotc will
Of Fuhrer a Duce drunk with personal ambition
Or mad with the lust to rule
The people have rights we'll duties;
They free, they do not fawn cringe
They regard government as contract,
Not one-sided tyranny passing out edicts
To meeky and blindy obey
On penalty of prison death.
The people in America deliberate
Assemble, discuss, decide;
And when the decision is reached
Their elected servants carry it out.
They are free to read what they will,
To have opinions and express them without fear.
They worship the God of their choice.
No upstart master with a Charlie Chaplin mustache
Could gain and keep their allegiance
And tell them what they must do
And what they must not do
They freemen, not minions.
They have minds of their own.
They have intelligence, the power of judgment,
They free to the intellect
Which God has given them.
The typical American could not be duped
BY pa}pable lies necessarily dinned into his ears
By knavish rulers who perpetuate their mastery
Only by polluting the sources of truth
And debasing freeen to the level of slaves and FOOLS
America loves peace.
It has sinister designs upon it's neighbors
Or upon any country earth.
It has spy system, fifth-column hirelngs
Paid to the seeds of poisonous treachery
For its selfish advantage
In the hearts of the people of other lands.

Of all flower lovers, OF I might say
beauty lovers All Of u towns do
