An unusual application Of rubber
betting has been reported by q mar
BILE company of Sylacauga, Ala,

When a bee stings a person, the
singer is torn out and remains stuck
in the skin of the victim. The bee

its own size, the deadly sting can be
used over and over again.

and two negro women, also impli-
Gated. Fortunately, Mrs. Pilchard
knew who these negro men were, and
could give the police valuable infor-
nation. The names of the two negro
men, said to have been the assailants
are Arthur Collick and George (alias
Ed.) Selby.
1t was not long after the crime be-
came known before the whole police
network of the Peninsula jumped into
action. Delaware, Maryland, Virgin
ia, cooperated to apprehend the gull
ty brutes. Baltimore City offered as
sistance and the Governor of the
State held himself in readiness for
any emergency.
At this writing, it is uncertain just
what has been done. Rumors fly
thick and fast. Reports gave out the
arrest of Selby who was picked up
here in the streets, first incarcerated
in the city prison and then taken to
some other. Search for Collick was
intensified, and the report located him
in a swamp near Beaver Dam. The
latest is that he was apprehended by
a county official and just where he is
now is not definitely known-or that
he has really been apprehended at all.
1t is known, however, that the
negresses are under arrest. These
are supposed to be the wife and moth
er-in-law of Collick, and are detained
as valuable witnesses. They were
lodged in the county Jail and on Tues
day night a crowd of justly incensed
citizens, determined to see whether
one of the men was in the Jail, struck
terror to the hearts of these women
by taking them out. But they are
unhurt.
If the two men have been arrested,

E. PILCHARD
IS 81 YEARS YOUNG
(Contributed)

On Sunday, February II, 1910, Mrs.
Elizabeth Jane Pilchard celebrated
her 9th birthday at her home on
Market Street. What wonderful
thing it is to be living, and to have
such a remarkable memory with a
clear mind as "Grandmother Pill
chard has. She enjoys reading, and
talking, whether it be stranger or
friend and, indeed, is a grand con-
versationalist.
Many relatives and friends called
during the day, and many also show
cred her with cards, flowers and love-
ly gifts, each one as they left wishing
her many happy returns of the day.
Mrs. Pilchard has five children, five
grandchildren and five great grand
children, little Miss Norma Lee Mas
on being the only great grand-daugh-
ter.

for a good team here during the COM
ing season, and, judging from the
large number of players seeking posi-
tions under the management of the
Readings and the Pocomokes, some
real talent should be available.
AS stated before in these columns,
Reading and Pocomoke will train at
Edenton, N. c., where Mr.. Ehlers
states there is well-equipped park,
and an earlier warmth of climate
than in Pocomoke.
On their way from the training
grounds, two teams will stage what
should be a very attractive pre-sea-
son contest. A game has been ar
ranged between the Reading team
and the Syracuse bunch This will
take place on Monday, April Is, and
on the Pocomoke grounds The fact
that Dick Porter-well known here
is manager of the Syracuse boys; and
also to the fact that Reading is own
ed by the same magnate as is POGO
moke-Mr Eddington-should give
this game a great sendoff
Mr.. Ehlers stated that considerable
improvement is contemplated in the
playing park; one of which is a plan
to move the fence farther back, about
25 or 80 feet. This is to give the
players more room to handle long
hit balls.
Another improvement will be a
grass infield, not only an addition to
the general appearance of the park,
but help to the players eyes when
the hot suns begin to get in their
work. The fences will be painted
green, and other minor improvements,
which will be noted as they material
ize.
With Poke Whalen managing the
local team, there will be strong
appeal to the Virginia fans, and his
long experience in the game should
leave nothing lacking in the way of
training in all departments of the
sport. Altogether, things look bright
for Pocomoke on the diamond.

VIENNA PLANT
HAS ANNOUNCED
LARGE EXPANSION
Made Necessary By The Large
Increase In Demand For Elec-
tricity On Peninsula

Mr.. James F. Dryden, formerly of
Pocomoke but now resident of Sal
isbury, was a visitor at the local Ro-
tary Club last Monday evening. Mr..
Dryden was a member of this organi-
cation before he made his home in
Salisbury.
In a few weeks, Mr.. Dryden made
mention of the proposed expansion
of the power plant of the Eastern
Shore Public Service System at Wen
ma. Mr.. Lewis Payne is president of
the company. The plans call for an
investment Of $1,000,000.
Erection of an addition at the north
end of the present power plant is
planned and equipment, including a
new 1900 XIV steam turbo-generator
and supporting high-pressure boiler
capacity is to be installed.
Plans for the expansion, completed
last fall, have now been approved by
the Public Service Commission OF
Maryland and the Securities and Elk
change Commission in Washington.
The consent of both agencies was
necessary before the project could be
undertaken.
The estimated million dollar ex-
penditure also provides for additional
sub-station equipment at Vienna to
handle the increased power produc-
ton.
Construction will begin when engi-
neering and architectural details have
been finally approved by the COM
pany, and completion of the addition
is expected by January 1, 1941.

400 FARMERS
HAVE VISITED
COUNTY OFFICE
Agent C. z. Keller, OF Somerset
Reports This Number Have
Formed Farm Plans
LIST OF PLACES FOR
MEETINGS NEXT WEEK

During the past two weeks nearly
400 farmers have visited the office
of Somerset County Agent C. 2. Kel-
Ter and have filed farm plans in order
to be eligible to participate in the soil
conservation program for this year.
The farm plan shows the allot-
ments of wheat, vegetables and pota-
toes and the total number of units of
soil-building practices that should be
carried out, in order to earn the soil
building goal and maximum payment
for the farm.
When the farmer lists his soil
build practices and signs his farm
plan he is given his benefit payment
check under the 1859 program.
Additional checks have been re-
ceived bringing the total number up
to $50 and amounting to $4,000. The
balance Of the checks amounting to
$4,000 is expected within the next
few weeks.
In order to save travel OF the farm
ers in the lower section of the coun-
ty, a series of all day community
sittings have been arranged by Coun-
ty Agent G. 2. Keller. Checks will
be distributed at these meetings and
an opportunity will be given to pre-
pare the farm plans.
Farmers who have not participated
in the soil conservation program in
previous years can enroll by filing
a work sheet of the crops that were
grown the past two years.
The meetings next week will be
held as follows:

ing operations for this season.

then they are in prisons outside Wor-
cester county, altho' the authorities
here are quoted as saying the assail-
ants would be landed in Snow Hill
prison. It is the duty of the officers
here to keep these accused in the
county and use all means in their
power to protect these criminals; but
it does not appear the law compels
the county to seek other refugees.
Should the men be arrested and es-
cape the vengeance of the righteous
indignation of an incensed community,
the courts should lose no time in NAM
ing a trial date, and a quick action
to a decision.
