CARTE NAMED PRESIDENT
NEW BASKET MILL CONCERN
JOSEPH E. CARTER ELECTED PRESIDENT
TO SUCCEED CHARLES E. NAPP RESIGNED
Harry B. Grieves Elected a Director OF the
Company To Place Made Vacant By Mr..
Napp-Many Applications Received.

The directors of the Smyrna & Kent
Mfg. Co, held special meeting last
Thursday afternoon to take action
upon the resignation of Charles E.
Napp, president and director of the
company. AS announced last week
Mr.. Napp, whose home is at Trenton,
n. j. is too much concerned in other
business matters to give his attention
to the old Tshcudy II Cats basket mill,
and because he could not give his
time to 1t properly he rendered his re-
signatiOn. He was here long enough,
however, to promote the enterprise
and see the plant so long idle pass
into the hands of an organized and in
corpOrated company of local business
men and fruitgrowers. At the meeting
of the directors Thursday, Mr.. Napp's
resignation was accepted and Mr..
Harry B. Grieves was elected a direc-
tor IN the place made vacant in the
Board. In selecting of a president
OF the organization to succeed Mr..
Napp, the choice of the directors turned
to Mr.. Joseph E. Carter and he was elec
ted unanimously. Me-. Carter is one
OF Smyrna's most prominent fruitgrow-
ers andas grape culturist has gained
considerable reputation throughout
the Peninsula as having one OF the
largest and up-tc-date Vineyards in the
State. Mr.. Carter is business man
of recognized ability and as the head
of the basket mill concern, the direc-
tors feel that they have the right man
IN the right place. Mr.. Grieves, the
newly elected director is also a care
full and conservative business man and
will make a good man IN the Board.
There is much work to be done in get
ting the plant equipped for the season
and the directors may have to hold fre
quent meetings to get plans in shape
to start as early in the season as prac-
tlcable. Already the Company has re-
celved number of applications from
men who want steady employment and
as the mill promises to furnish en-
ployment to hundred men and boys
the starting up of such a concern in
this town should he boon to Smyrna
and result in a number of families
moving in our midst.

Smyrna's most progressive farmers
and fruit growers and there is regret
that he and his family conld not find a
suitable property in Smyrna. The
Polk Property" in Odessa is fine To-
cation and he has picked up a good
bargain. DIR. E. G.. Clark, of Milling
ton, Md, director of the Fruit Grow
ers National Bank, ,ofSmyrna will move
from Millington to Middletown. He has
purchased Of MIR. Joshua Clayton his
nne property on Green Street and will

ing Windows and Required Medical Aid.

Mrs. McFaul. wife of Rev. d. F.
McFaul pastor of KentOn Circuit

c:dent Monday while washing
windows. In some manner she ran a
large splinter into her hand which gave
her so much trouble that she was OBJ
liged to summon medical aid before
she was relieved of the pain. The
splinter had buried itself deep in her
flesh. Mrs. McFaul is an industrious
woman and her accident has elected
much sympathy from her friends.

SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGISLATURE CALLED
For the Purpose of Extending the Time of the
Act Bearing Upon Judgement Lien Law.

After a conference with all of the
judges and nearly all of the members
of the bar in Kent and Sussex counties
at the State House yesterday, Gov
ernOr John HUM announced that he
had decided to call a special session of
the General Assembly, for the purpose
of acting upon bill to extend the time
of the recent act passed bearing upon
the Judgment Lien Law. The pro-
posed bill, it is understood, will ex-
tend the time of operation of the law
from january 1st, 1905, to January 1st
1906, which will give the Legislature,
at its regular session, an opportunity
to take such action in the matter as is
considered proper. The special ses-
sion will probably convene on Dec
ember goth. The session of the Legis-
lature, it is thought, will not exceed
one day. This is the new Legislature
and it is likely that preliminary gath
ering will take place at Dover the night
before, when caucuses for organization
will be held. The bill to be presented
at the special session will probably
simply provide that the operation of
the recent act bearing on judgment
liens be extended from January 1st,
1905, to January 1st, 1906.
