Rev. Richard H. Adams who has
served the full term of six years SAYS:
He goes to EastOn as pastor, and Rev.
q. 5. Baker succeeds him as Presiding

very successful term as Presiding

and there was not the best of feeling.
He leaves it with its affairs in good
condition. We wish him great sue

not pay him cent nor will they go to
hear him preach.
Representative Handy in his Will
mington speech last week ssid:
The war which was inevitable, would
not be of long duration. He would
risk his reputation as a prophet, when
he predicted that the war would not
last as long as the controversy had
over the findings of the court of in
quiry as to the cause of the blowing up
of the Maine. That our nation could
lick the Spanish navy ship for ship;
that our men could then trade them
ships and lick them again. That the
Teutonic race were fighters who have
never been coquered and the Spanish
nation will find that out to their ever
lasting sorrow when they tackle the
American navy. He further said the
Democrats would be willing to trade
the State of Maine off for the island of
Cuba. Then we would be rid of the
cohorts who made up the aggregation
from that State in the halls of Con-
gress.
Mrs. ADDICKs SUES AGAIN. Mrs.
Rosalie Addicks, wife of j. Edward
Addicks, who was refused divorce by
the Superior Court about two years
ago, filed another petition for divorce
Thursday 1t was filed by William T.
Smltners OF Dover, who is one of Mr..
Addick's political leaders in Kent
county. The grounds on which di-
vOrce is asked are non-support and
desertion. She alleged that Mr.. Ad-
dicks has been away for more than
three years. 1t is not believed that
Mr.. Addicks will oppose the applica-
ton for a divorce. In 1895 Mrs. Ad-
dicks made her first effort to get di-
vorce and the hearing lasted several
months. Many witnesses were heard
by Commissioner A. B. Cooper, who
refused to recommend the divorce.
