Story Told by an Injured Sailor of
the Late Hurricane.

Ralfsen, Swedish sailor on board
the schooner A. j. Perkins, which |
caught in the blow off Arkansas Pass
Sept. ). lies in st. Msry's Infirmary
in critical condition from injuries
received aboard the schooner during
the gale. He gives this account of
the storm
.On Sept. ), while the vessel was
off Arkansas Pass, the sea began to
roll mountains high and the wind
increased in velocity, until Friday
morning it was blowing about forty
five miles an hour. This continued
for three days, during which time
the vessel rolled heavily and the
men were kept constantly at the
pumps to keep her ailoat, For three
days the crew had nothing to eat and
were exposed TO the wind and waves.
Gradually the vessel commenced to
30 TO pieces and just as she crew
were about resigned to their fate Il
tug hove in sight and the vessel was
lowed into place of safety. Dur
ing the gale the main mast was car
ried away, and shortly afterward the
foremost was struck by high wave
and was cut off at the step. The
captain could not manage the craft
on account of the terrific gale, and
when the wind was blowing its
strongest he attempted to bring the
craft about, and losing control Of the
wheel was thrown about twelve feet
in the air and landed on the deck. =
The vessel was partly owned by
the c. II. Moore Lumber Company
OF this city and wac loaded with rail-
road ties,
She is now at Corpus Christi, to
which place she was towed by tug.

To Sunday School Workers of
the County.

deem it my duty az president Of
the County Sunday Schools to write
this and urge activity in the great
work. The time of the year has come
when the schools of every section can
be put into operation and | hope the
friends of them will 90 to work and let
us make this year of gre at awakening
in systematic study of the Scriptures.
No kind of education is so profitable as
Christian education, therefore We
should be diligent in our efforts to
arouse both old and young to their du-
ty along this line.
At the last County Convention the
following officers were elected NJ 6
Campbell, president; NJ F Williams,
secretary; r G Mccoy, treasurer. Vice.
presidents Beat /, A T Allen, VIM.

hope each vice-president will be
active in his duties, and if any section
needs the help OF an organizer apply to
them. While this is an energetic age
in social, business, and professional
life, the church should be equally
aroused TO the march of progress and
see to it that consecrated intelligence
is cultivated.
While the ministry is usually very
punctual in the discharge OF their du-
ties, vet | hope they will not think it
presumptuous on my part to ask their
especial help in this work. AS you at
tend your different appointments ascer-
tain whether there is Sunday School
in that section, and if not, please re-
port to the vice-president of that
Beat that they may organize one.
During this stringency of money
matters organizers and officers may
find some difficulty in obtaining litera-
ture but this should be no obstacle
since no literature equals the Bible.
Organize and begin a systematic study
of it Respectfully,
NJ. &. CAMPBELL.

Hcke Smith and Silver.

Atlanta, Ca, April 23.-- Secre-
tary Hoke Smith doesn't agree
with Secretary Morton on gold
monometallism, but takes the po-
sition that the vast majority of the
people who oppose the free and
unlimited coinage of silver are
genuine binetallists. Secretary
Smith, who is here attending the
marriage Of his niece, talked free
ly on this subject today and ex-
pressed decided views as to the
position of the Democrats Of Geor-
gia on this subject. "Georgia's
delegation to the National Demo-
cratic Convention will go the in
structed to oppose to the end the
effort to put this country On a sill
yer basis" said he. II know a
strong effort is being made to Gre
ate the impression that Georgia is
overwhelmingly committed to the
free silver fallacy, but that is not
the case. Whatever may be the
tendency that way now you can
put it down as certain that Geor-
gin will be found Oh the safe cur
rency side"

Echoes From the Public school.

School closed this week with much
hurt TO the grading Of the school.
During the past two years the stand
ard of grading has Lee. raised at least
one grade, and we were glad to note
that it could be maintained, but just in
the hour Of success, calamity comes.
"Oh ever thus from childhood's hour.
I've seen my fondest hopes decay"
The work has not been finished. This
means an unsatisfactory beginning
next tern. No motion requires greater
harmony than the development of the
human mind.
The Shakespearian club, continuous
throughout the term, has been a source
of much pleasure and profit. We offer
many thanks to the young ladies' and
men of town who have helped in the
work.
The teachers class in professional
study has continued throughout the
term 1t has strengthened the admlra-
ton for the work of our profession and
awakened force in ach which, If the
work is continued. will become pow.
er in "learnng the little shoot how to
idea"
The enrolment for this term has
been 304 and the average daily attend
ance about 200.
The library of the school has grown
SO volu hes during the session at cost
of 81. All of this paid by the school
except SIG which is still owed by the
library.
The volumes added to the library this
term are by the best writer's of the age.
Miss Allcott, Tolstoi, Carlyle, Scott,
Hugo, Green, Ruskin, and Shakespeare
are represented, besides IL volumes
of the library Of American Literature
compiled by Stedman and Hutc hinson.
This has been session of little fric.
ton reported to u.s., pleasant sailing
and hard and successful work.
We will begin to work for the success
of next term next week and will not
cease until the session is spent. Dur
ing the summer the faculty will come
in contact with the talent of the conn.
try in the school work; hence, the peo.
pie may look for the next session to be
the best by far in the history of the
public school.
1t is our opinion that the present
Board of Aldermen might ut feather
in their cap by legisating some alon,
the public school interest. Put us on
an independent financial basis and
give us new building aad let us share
hash" with the others who feast at
the public corn crib" 1t all belongs
to the children anyway and it Is best
to give it while you can direct it.

Smyrna times., 1895-10-09

E. F. ToTTEN, agent of the Harrow
Company, Detroit, made the TIMES
office call Monday. An account of
his losses by a sneak thief at the Dover
Fair has been already published, but it
appears from his conversation, the
money taken was nearly $500. Ao he
gives it about $40 belonging to the
company aud some $130 of his own in
dividual money was taken. The
pocketbook was afterward recovered,
with the $500 worth of negotiable
papers, but the money had been alb.
stracted. Mr.. Totten has no hope of
ever coming across the money or the
parties who stole it. He has been in
crowds in cities and large gatherings
and meets his first loss in the place
least expected-a little country fair. 1t
was money which he had collected to
pay over the next day. He blames the
management for the losses sustained
by the peOple-several thousand dol
lars-because they had been apprised,
he says, that pickpOckets would be on
hand and no warning by officers or
otherwise given. 1t occurred at the
box for sale of tickets to the grand
stand. There were several hundred of
people in waiting for the box to open

MORE than one secular paper seems
to have been impressed by the report
which Rev. A. Stengle made to his
Quarterly Conference, and one of them,
the Middletown Transcript, gives col
umn and a quarter editorial to the
subject, quoting the report as it ap-
peared in the TIMES. Our cotemporary
says:
"There are preachers of the gospel
who seem to lack moral courage, the
kind that attacks sin in particularly
designated places, but Rev. Adam
Stengle, pastor of the M. E. Church
Smyrna, is not one of them. He gives
evidence of this, we are told, in his
regular pulpit ministrations, and in his
report shows that he can talk to his
official board with the courage of his
convictions"
In quoting the three paragraphs as
given in the TIMES it continues
"It makes us wish for more of the
report and especially to know the rea-
sons that prompted the reverend gen.
tleman to write as he did. Evidently
he feels strongly on the subject or he
would not write so pointedly. We
agree and we disagree with Mr.. Stem
gle. 1t appears to us to be a subject
that may be discussed with profit"

Single-Tax Campalgners.
Baltimore Sun of Saturday.

DaLtlLlOIe GUN OF saturday,
Baltimore single-tax men last nipbt
listened to addresses by Messrs. George
+. Stephens and w. l.. Price on the
way in which the campaign for their
cause is being carried on in Delaware
Mr.. stephens is at the head of the
slngle-tax movement in Delaware
spending there all the time he can
spare from his business in Philadelpbia
Like his brother speaker, he wore the
uniform which has been adopted nv
the workers in the cause. This con
sists of black coat and trousers dark
blue flannel negligee shirt, with black
necktle, tan-colOred leggings, stout
shoes and drab slouched hat. On
each coat sleeve is pinned a black
badge having on it in silver letters the
words Single Tax" By means of
this badge Mr.. Stephens said the
workers are able to talk single tax
while asleep in a railroad train.
The campaign in Delaware, Mr..
Stephens said, is being carried on simi-
larly to the Salvation Army's work.
Probably fifty workers go into Della
ware from Philadelphia every Satur-
day night and scatter over the State.
In small groups they ride BICYCLES or
tramp sometimes for miles from rail
road stations in order to hold meetings
in the country. Tents are also used in
the towns, and with these 90 sets of
stereopticon views, contrasting homes
In the slums of cities and fine resi-
dence of the wealthy. The speakers
point out how this disparity, as thew
believe, may be remedied by the adop-
ton of single-tax principles. Singers
lead choruses of campaign songs. and
much is relied upon the enthusiasm
thus gained.
Besides supervising this work and
that of regular speakers who spend all
their time in Delaware, Mr.. Stephens
is editor of Justice, a single.taxes'
journal. He writes many single-tax
campaign songs.
Acting upon the appeal ofthe speak.
ers, the Baltimore single.tax Organiza-
ton, which has been dormant, resolved
to begin active weekly meetings in
order to spread the doctrine in this
city and to raise funds for the Della
ware work. Messrs. F. f. Maver
Thomas Turner and John Salmon were
appointed to canvass for the Delaware
campaign.

tance but not hurt. The sulky was
torn up and the horse slightly hurt.
In the cereal building there was a
good display of fruits, j. w. Killen, of
FELTON,, being the largest exhibitor. J..
Colby Smith, of Willow Grove, had an
exhibit of honey, with working hive
of bees. Frank Rieman, of Smyrna,
also had fine exhibit of honey.
There were nearly 200 vegetable ex-
hibits. Thomas B. COursey, showed a
mammoth pumpkin weighing ninety
one pounds. The Delaware Expert
ment Station had on exhibition a new
fodder plant called teosinite, which
produced over 16 tons per acre this
season.
In the Ladies' building there was
about the usual exhibit of butter, bread.
cakes and preserves, but not much of
needlewOrk.
Thomas B. Coursey's famous desk
was on exhibition and was heartily
commended.

Why Chancellor Wolcott Contem-
plates Resigning.
Correspondence to The Time


Various reasons and divers times
have been printed in newspapers re-
garding the resignation of James l..
WOlcott as Judge of the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware, but
the true reason has never been stated
Your correspondent has learned that
he is of the opinion in common with
most of the lawyers that the Court of
Chancery should be abolished and that
when the Constitutional Convention
shall be held to revise and amend the
constitution of Delaware, the Court of
ChaDcerY will be abolished. Wolcott
being comparatively young man fond
of the excitement of politics., has an
eye on United States Senator, in the
event of Senator Gray being appointed
by President Cleveland to fill the va
cancy now existing of one Of the Judges
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which Is among the proba abilties.
1t is generally believed Senator GRAY
prefers the Judiciary to being a mem
ber of the Cabinet or U. S. Senator, and
it is understood that President Cleye-
land is desirous of appointing him to
the supreme Bench, and it is more
than likely he will do so when Con.
gress shall assemble. This would leave
a vacancy in the Senate, which Acting
Governor Watson would fill by ap-
pointing WOlcOtt to the unexpired time
of Senator Gray, which would be Just
what WolcOtt's aspiration and desire
could realize, and decidedly the quick
est way for him to attain his object.
The relations between Governor
Watson and Chancellor Wolcott are
the most friendly and there is no one
who would stand an equal chance with
him for the appointments; beside it
would be from Kent county, which
may also be an important considera-
tion. That be may be appointed bv
the officials of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company to look after their in.
terests of the Delaware Division, is
probable; but that fact would not
operate against his being United States
Senator, but on the contrary should he
become Senator it would strengthen
his position as counsel for the Railroad
Company.
J. T. COmegys. for a number of
years was counsel for the Delaware
Railroad Company, and when he was
appointed Chief Justice, he was sue
ceeded by George V. Massey, of Dover,
and since he has been promoted to be
assistant solicitor, with residence in
Philadelphia, a vacancy is made at
Dover. The writer is of the opinion.
however, that WolcOtt is not partic-
ularly desirOus of filling this vacancy.
but has his eye on the Senate of the
United States, which would satisfy
both his ambition and aspiration.

THE Agricultural Fairs for the season
closed last week, that of the State Fair
at Dover being the last. There was
an absence of the enthusiasm that
characterized a dozen years ago with
them all it has died out. as if they
had had their day. The Dover papers
say the racing was not as good as usual
giving as a reason that the directors
hadn't the cash to secure the best
animals of the turf. The same reason,
excepting the peculiarities of the sea-
son, will possibly apply to the other
exhibits. The gamblers that have for
several seasons dominated the grounds
were by supreme effort shut out, but
in doing SO, remorseless lot of pick
pockets and fakirs seem to have got in.
One OF these exhibition tents was so
bad SIS to call query in a paper from
one ofthe ministers of the town, ask
ing the officers of the law why such an
exhibition was allowed to 60 unnoticed
by them. Il was designated ''For men
only" and we hear Of men who have
strong stomachs for unseemly sights
being sickened and disgusted at this
exhibit.
