COMPLAIN OF BAD ROADS.
The Road to Smyrna Landing in Fearful Con-
ditiOn for Travel.

The road to Smyrna Landing has
had more travel on it the past year
than any road in the county but seems
to have no one authorized to care for
it. After leaving the town limits, it is
in fearful condition, dangerous es-
pecially for heavy hauling. A road of
so much commercial Importance should
be kept in the best condition. 1000
bushels of oyster shells would put it in
good condition for the winter, which if
purchased, the Transportation Com
pany would put in place for the simple
expense of handling. The roads to
Clayton and the Landing ought to be
kept in better condition than they are.

SMYRNA DEFEATED IN FOOTBALL.
Lost Her First Game With Wilmington Confer.
ence Academy at Dover on Satu rday.
Indignant Over Rank Decision.

The Smyrna Football team played
its first game with the Wilmington
Conference Academy team at Dover,
Saturday and met defeat at the score
of 10 to 0. The weather was rainy and
disagreeable and it was a debatable
question whether the game should be
played. The Smyrna boys were on
the field, however, and the decision to
play was approved, if for no other rea-
son than to have a good practice game.
Smyrna was much handicapped in not
having R. W. Bell, the regular center,
with them, and as the game progressed
it was found to be q weak place in the
line for which the Academy BOYS
''bucked" for all it was worth. Smyr-
ma made some pretty gains around the
'ends'. At one time Weldon made
brilliant dash through Dover's CEN
tire for a gain of 90 yards, but it was
not counted owing to a rank decision
of the Referee, who claimed it 'for-
ward pass" Another feature was the
line bucking of Colburn. The Dover
boys showed superior training, but
the Smyrna boys in their crippled con-
dition feel satisfied in holding the score
down as we'll as tbey did.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
ARRANGED FOR SMYRNA
SUPERINTENDENT TINDAL, OF THE KENT
COUNTY SCHOOLS, FIXES DATES.
VII be In Smyrna With Fine Talent on
December the 5th, 9th and 7th--Even.
Ing Entertainments Selected.

Superintendent G. C. Tindal has
rented the Smyrna Opera House for
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings, October the 5th, 9th and
18th of December, for the annual ses-
sion of the Kent County Teachers In
stitute. This year will be no excep-
tiOn to the general rule, and in the pro-
gram that has been arranged our citi-
zens may expect excellent entertain
ments. The day speakers will be among
the best speakers of the country. The
evening entertainments, on which
Supt. Tindal depends to defray the ex-
pense of bringing the Institute here,
will be the finest that can be gotten
together They will include the
talented Smith Sisters, who are noted
for their musical accomplishments,
and who when they appeared in
Smyrna several years ago made a most
favorable "hit." The Hon. George
W. Vending will be here and lecture
possibly on ''The Man of Galilee. -
Many will remember the brilliant and
mastery address he gave here on
"Saul of Tarsus'" The entertainer
this year will be one of the most ac-
cOmplished entertainers in the profes-
sion. His wit, humor and pathos claim
to be unexcelled. Our citizens should
bear this in mind and be ready to greet
it with enthusiastic audiences.

DECREASE IN SMYRNA'S
POPULATION EXPLAINED
WAS REALLY A GAIN OF 4l3 INSTEAD OF
A LOSS OF 2S7 AS REPORTED.
West Smyrna, Smyrna Landing and Duck
Creek, Included In Last Census, Left
Out and Counted as Rural.

The people of Smyrna were taken
aback or ''all aback," as more fire.
quently expressed in common parlance
at the statement made in our last issue,
that Smyrna had decreased 2S7 in its
population since the census 1902, ,445
and 2, 1853 this year. The loss of 2S7 in
population is apparent, not real. The
difference has grown out of the instruc-
tlons given the enumerators. J. Henry
Jefferson, who took the census of the
town was instructed to keep within
the corporate limits. G. V. Scouts
instructions were to take Duck Creek
Hundred outside the town. Follow
ing these directions, all of West
Smyrna or Spruance City, Duck Creek
and Smyrna Landing were counted in
the rural population, whereas, ten
years ago they were counted with the
population of the town where they at
tend school, church and do their shop
ping. Mr.. Jefferson says there is a
difference of about 700 persons which
is an apparent loss to Smyrna, which
the people familiar with the condition
of things knew could not be so. Had
the suburban places named above been
included in Smyrna as it was in 1890,
our population would have been re-
ported about 2SGS instead 21GS as it is.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM EXPLOSION.
Lamp on the Table of j. II. Primrose Filled
With Gasoline Instead of Kerosene.

Last Friday before supper, j. H.
Primrose sent his stable colored boy
down to Alfred Tilghman's store after
jug full of coal oil. The boy evil
IDENTIFY losing his head went to Alfred
Tilghman's store and asked for gaso-
line. Subsequently the large lamp
was filled and put on the table and
llsnted Mr.. Primrose and his wife
were seated at the table, and noticed
that the lamp did not burn right but
nothing was thought of it until after
supper, when Tilghman's clerk came
running up and informed them that
the jug contained gasoline. The lamp
was quickly put out. Mr.. and Mrs.
Primrose consider it miraculous that
the lamp did not explode while they
were at the table, and can only attri-
butte it to the tight fitting of the cir
cular wick. Had it exploded it might
have resulted fatally.

ALARMED ABOUT WHEAT.
Farmers Fear Pest Which Not Only Attacks
Their Wheat but Likewise Their Corn.

Our farmers are getting seriously
alarmed at the condition of their
wheat. The lateness of the tomato
compelled them to put off thresthing,
and a visit to the mows where their
wheat was housed showed that the
moth, which caused such destruction
two years ago, was again as work. 1t
attacks not only threshed wheat, but
wheat in the bin also. Some farmers
who have thresed have lost as high as
twelve bushels to the hundred. 1t is
feared that the pest will also attack
corn, as one farmer tells us that he
found them in bag of seed corn.

BLACKBURN DID NOT SPEAK.
Owing to Suicide of His SOn.iG.Law, Judge
McLane Was Sent Instead.

tuckey, who was to have spoken in our
Opera House last night, was called to
Washington in the afternoon by the
sudden death of his son-in-law. His
place was taken by Judge McLane, of
Virginia. Franklin Brockson Esq, of
Clayton, presided. There was a good
sized audience, music by the Dover
band.

Market Review

BY direct private wirs to Louis s. Col
well, manager OF Price, Mccormick g.
Co. q hranoh office. No. 216 Middle street
Portland, Me
New York, May S.-Ths stock market
had q comparatively stssdy tone today,
although there was little less outside
business than there has been during the
week. At the opening higher prices
were ooinmon chiefly on the encouraging
advices In respect to the fettIenent OF
the railway labor troubles at Buffalo.
1his naturally caused advances In New
York Central and the remainder Of the
railway list also moved up fraciionally.
Missouri Pacific was conspiculously
strong In the forenoon, but It broke
sharply when it was announced that the
directors would not hold . meeting to =
day as had been reported and the stock
did not rally from this disappointing
news all day. 1t was In very fair dt-
mand, however, In the loan crowd at the
close, but aside from Missouri Pacific
there seemed to be q slight decrease In
the borrowing demand.
The money market was altogether ur-
TT filed, not withstspding yesterdays gold
shipmsnts and the fact that the banks
have lost over 81, 700, 900 in their dealings
with the sub-treasury since last Frtdsy.
Bank officers report that there is quits
q heavy movement Of currency this way
from the 90 untry and this may cut down
or Offset what otherwise looks like sub
stantial reduction in surplus reserves On
Saturday In the wsskly bank statement.
London eold about ~ 0e0 or 1900 shares
OF stock here, hut towards the CLOSE that
market became nrmer. u seems to be the
belief that there will be some decided
news from South Africa before long and
should these expectations be fulfilled Lon
don may be expected TO take much more
favorable attitude towards the market.
