Death of Miss Laura Deakvne.

We are sad to note, since publishing
the death of Mary Deakyne, a daughter
of Alex. Deakyne, of Thoroughfare
Neck, two weeks ago, that be has had
the misfortune to lose another from
that dreaded malady-typhOid malaria.
On Saturday afternoon last, Laura
Deakyne, his youngest daughter, passed
away. She was taken sick about a
week before her sister Mary died, and
had been in a critical condition until
her death, She was in her 18th year,
and like her sister Mary, was a girl of
estimable character. Both were inter-
ested workers in the Friendship NJ, E.
Church and Sunday School and were
leading members of the Epworth
League. In all religious circles they
were earnest workers and their death
will leave vacancy which will be
greatly missed.
Miss Laura Deakyne was a bright
promising young lady and a favorite
among her associates.
The funeral services were held at
Friendship yesterday, and were largely
attended. Interment was made in the
old church grounds, Rev. f, H Hynson,
officiating.
Two of Mr.. Deakyne's boys are down
with the same disease, though one oi
them, Everett, is convalescing. Oliver
remains about the same and is still in a
critical condition. Great sympathy is
expressed for Mr.. and Mrs. Deakyne
IL their sad bereavement and the ter
rible strain under which they have
been. No cause as yet can be at
tributed to the origin of the disease
The drinking water has been analyzeC
and the health condition of the prop
erty investigated, and all have beer
found in good condition. 1t is a singu
lar case that four in family should be
taken down with the same disease al
about the same time when there is NJ
epidem ic in the neighborhood.

To Whom it May Interest.

About twelve years ago, while ac-
lively engaged 10 agriculture at
Meadow Lawn, l kept an open nc
count at the store of John B. Cooper,
corner of Main and Commerce streets,
Smyrna, Del, buying from time to
time of him such articles as he kept for
sale, and sending to him for sale such
articles as fruit, melons and other pro.
duce as were saleable to pay therefore.
When, by reason of a complication of
ailments, it became necessary for me
to go to Philadelphia 10 order to obtain
the most skillful medical treatment,
whore was obliged to remain for
about ten years, there was balance
remaining to the credit of my account
of $2.46, which / had entirely over.
locke ed, until on Thursday, September
81, / went to his store to purchase
some needed articles and when about
paying for them l was reminded by
Mr.. Cooper Of this balance due me
which was at once settled. Such an
instance of fair dealing and absolute
eegrity l have never before expert.
MED during more than half century
engaged in active business, and my
obj ect in having this article published
is to do simple justice and express mJ
kindly feeling and appreciation of my
business relations of truly honest

Very truly.

IT was expected early in the season
that Delaware would have an early
and long political campaign this year,
but we are now within nearly a month
of the election, and aside from the con-
ventions to nominate candidates, there
have been but one or two desultory
meetings in the lower counties, and
outside OF Democratic rally to be held
in Laurel, no announcements are out
for either party. 1t is probable that
plans are being perfected, however, for
meetings for both parties at an early
date, followed by others in quick sue
cession.
In Wilmington, the metropolis, there
has been more activity. 1t was the
proper thing for it to lead off, the
Democrats taking the lead in public
demonstrations, the Republicans SEEM
lv willing to let the public prints, as
has been the case for the year past, act
as the responsible agents in a cam
paign of education"
The Democrats Saturday night week
had excellent weather and one of the
largest meetings that was ever held
there, about 5000 persons present, ad-
dressed by Senator Gray, and Messrs'
Biggs, WOOlley, Vandegrift and others.
Thursday evening at the Young
Mems Republican Club-rooms. Mr..
Marvil, candidate for Governor, and
Mr.. Willis, candidate for Congress, and
other candidates on the County ticket
were given hearty reception. Satur-
day evening was, however, reserved
for the ratification meeting, at 4th and
King streets. 1t had been raining, but
this did not seem to prevent the masses
from getting together, the Morning
NeaOs stating the number at 5000. 1t
says there was greater interest mani
tested and expressed determination to
right political wrongs than at any
formers meeting at which only political
and economic questions were discussed
Addresses were made by Senator
Higgins, Levi C. Bird, Benz. Nields
Wm. G. Spruance, Washington Hast
ings, Hugh G. Brown and others.
Smyrna times., 1894-10-03

tertain views they think not so re-
stricted.
The politicians, per Sc, whether in
Office or after an Office, have little or no
regard for anything else, but with the
mass of people there is a question OF
business, question of bread, that they
think claims first consideration. They
want first relief from business depres-
sion albeit, they may take different
roads to reach it.
There are men of equally decided
convictions as the speakers on the
Temperance question who differ with
them as to tho equal completely of the
two parties. They ask which party has
made the laws for the past thirty and
more years, and which party went
down from not being sustained after
being urged to pass prohibitory law
nearly forty year ago; which has the
saloon keepers almost in a body and
each a centre of political influence;
why those who by this means are kept
out are held equally responsible for non
legislation with those who are in; why
the one fault of party land it is not
denied that both have their faults) is
made to balance in turpitude the nine
faults of another party?
The same man of conscious RESPONSE
bility looking over the field from an
eminence asks what was gained in
New Jersey by acting the role of' Come
cutters" and letting the Race Track
gamblers with their multiplicity Of
saloons get possession of the State
And from the same standpoint, the
question might be asked why when one
of the old parties a few years ago il
this State declared in its platform fol
stringent temperance legislation, it was
disregarded by the Third Party men
and why they persist in fastening thu
Fractional License law on the legisla
ture of 1889 when it was passed by the
legislature of 1885?
1t would thus appears that there ar,
questions and questions yet to be con
sidered before the "good time coming
. fully dawns upon us.

the Council would give him the authority,
TO properly survey the town, number it
into blocks, do all the work and collect all
the money. All 1t would cost the town

IT FELL to the lot of the weaker
party, or perhaps more properly ex-
pressed the Prohibitionists,t to lead of in
the first political meeting in Duck
Creek hundred. 1t was in spirit and
in numbers (the Opera House being
nearly filed all that they could have
asked. The speakers were Revs. A. s.
Mowbray, r. T. Coursey and Alfred
Smith, the first named, as Vocalists, ALL
ing an important role in the entertain
ment and amusement Of the audience.
Mr.. Mowbray occupied the first place
as principal speaker, and for forty min
utes considered the temperance ques-
tion in relation to itself, viz: the de-
cided progress it had made on the in
dividual conscience, and in the code of
morals and church requirements. That
of the first proposition at the Confer
ence of 1908 in relation to ministers
which failed then but was adopted at the
conference of 1912, on to the present
time in the Disciplinary prohibition in
relation to members, shows a marvellous
advancement in ecclesiastical steps.
There was perhaps, not one person
there to gainsay the argument against
the vice of intemperance, the 300 deaths
that resulted daily from il as stated by
the speaker the poverty, misery and
woes that follow in its wake as a re-
suit of its use.
Mr.. Smith followed with equal earn
estness and more decided personal
emphasis against church men. men OF
good purposes, who want the right to
prevail but who do not come out from
their old political alliances and work
for Prohibition as the one great issue
in fact as it was declared the only real
issue that needs prompt attention to
bring happiness and prosperity The
speakers held both the old parties
equally guilty in maintaining an aIli
ance with the saloon power, and equal
ly reluctant in letting 60 their hold.
There are those however, and they
constitute the larger number, who en-

ried.
The prospective ordinance requires each
property holder to have their houses num-
bered 60 days after it becomes law, or a
fine of 50 be paid.

who couldn't read a paper because it
differed from him was compared to a

nose could kick him with its feet in
