MINISTERS SUSPENDED

Both the Rev. Wilbur T. Corkran, ID.
d., pastor Of Claymont and Bethlehem
M. Z. Churches and the Rev. @. S. Baker,
D. d., pastor Of Asbury NJ. L. Church,
Wilmington, were Friday morning sus-
pended from the Wilmington Conference
by the board of inquiry which has been
investigating the charges Of stock gam
bling against them in Union Church.
The case Of DR.. Corkran was finished
Thursday, night and placed in the hands
Of the jury. 1t went into secret session
at Ill O'Clock and at 10 o'clock Friday
morning reached verdict of guilty.
The decision was not made public until
the meeting convened at $50 o'clock
Friday morning. As soon as the result
was announced the committee went into
the case Of Rev. Baker, Which was Q zen
more sensational than that of DIR. Cork
ran. The ministers themselves were
even surprised that one of their number
should lave been iinglirated in such
transactions. 1t required but little over
two hours to dispose III the Baker case
Nv mutual consent of the counsel for
both sides, it Was decided to give the
case into the Lands OF the jury without
further argument, as that which had al
ready been given was OF such character
That acquittai was impossible. As soon
"a this was agreed upon DIR. Baker and
his counsel quilted the room. As both
men are now suspended it will be neces-
sarv for the presiding elder to appoint
ministers to FIJI the vacancies.

10 WHOM IT MAY CONCERN


In the last issuesof the Nesc Era there
appears an editorial which has all the ear
marks of having been inspired by some
mind whose relation to the owner OF COWS
is quite different from that which an edi-
tor enjoys. This editorial was brought to
nv attention, and the TRANSCRIPT has
very kindly permitted me to say few
words and present a few facts through Its
columns to its many readers. First the
writer Of this represents the Creamery
Package Manufacturing Company OF Chi
cago. and the Casino Company of Amer
lea, New York and Bellows Falls, and
anyone who will take the time to step in
to either bank here in Middletown will
learn upon inquiry that no company do
ing business anywhere stands higher.
They are not doing business on the Arab
principal, nor do they employ people to
20 from place to place telling farmers or
others. snake and fish stories. We chal-
lepge anyone to show one creamery COM
pany which was organized by us that has
been failure, we also challenge anyone
to show any method of operating cream
erv with as little expense as the ElgIn
system, and right here beg your indui-
| gence to sight an instance. On the first
| Monday OF November last, creamery
| company which the writer had the honor
to organize, began doing business at
| Ouarryville, Lancaster County, Pa. There
| is going to that creamery at the present
time 1O3 farmers. Mr.. John +. Shenk
| who is their secretary, told me on the
| 18th of June that their expense for the
month of May was $179.43. Two men do
| all the work in the creamery; before the
| writer organized this company the milk
| from those farms went through IA mems
hands before it was shipped as butter,
who will say that those farmers made
any mistake when they accepted my pro-
position. Before the Elgin System was
| installed there the average price received
| for milk was SO cents, since November
| last it has been above $l.20. | could 60

said that the prospectus Of this wonderful

stock horse deal entered into by some Of
the Middletown people, he may speak ad-

COMMON PRIMARIES

Inefe is an expectation Oh Gllo
part of the Republican voters
of this county, that the two par
ties or factions will unite in
common primary as has been Gus
tomary in the past, for the selec-
ton of candidates for county,
hundred and district officers.
This belief is best evidenced by
the cropping out of candidates
for all these places. There is,
however, a disposition on the
part of few leaders on both
sides to play politics for personal
position or influence. This goes
so far in some instances as to
amount to a determination to
force two tickets, if possible, up
on the voters, if certain candi-
dates cannot be assured the
place desired. We do-not believe
the people will submit to such
leadership, call it Union Repub-
licanism or call it Regular Re-
publicanism. Both parties claim
to be Republican and to subscribe
to Republican principles. The
vote Of this State should be cast
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and
the names of the men who cast
the vote is of small moment. We
will warrant the assertion that
not one in ten voters in this county
can give the names Of the cleo
tors Of 1900, to go back no fur
ther. But all remember that Nc
Kinley received the votes.
The proposition to turn the
government Of this county over
to the Democrats is not alluring.
After four years Of Republican
administration, the tax rate has
been reduced forty per cent. the
bonded debt reduced, improved
roads built and an honest ecomi-
cal government secured. When
it is remembered that some of the
same men who were in the last
Democratic ring that ruled the
county are again aspiring to an
other term, the party leaders
need to consider the interests of
the whole body, polite as well
as those of few leaders.
Great as the sacrifice would be,
it should be made were it neces-
sary to beat Addicks and Ad-
dickism. But it is not necessary.
The question Of who is the Levy
Court Commissioner from the
sixth district can have no pos
sible bearing upon the election Of
a United States Senator, but it
does have an important bearing
upon the management of county
affairs. The choice of Road
Commissioner for st. Georges
Hundred, cannot aid Mr.. Ad-
dicks ambitions, but a proper
choice does result in financial
benefit to the tax payers of that
Hundred as is evidenced by the
six years of Republican an control,
during which time nearly $4,000
of Democratic debts have been
paid off without increase of tax
rate. Let US have common pri-
maries, and the people will select
their choice for the various Of
fees. Then turn in and elect the
whole ticket. This is not Ad-
diicksism nor d surrender to Ad-
dicksism, but is common sense,
good politics and fair play. Those
leaders who attempt to do any
thing else may find themselves
with a following barely large
enough to be respectable.

Prudential Insurance Company.

The 2Sth annual statement of the Pru-
dental Insurance Company which ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue presents
striking illustration of it's remarkable
growth especially when it is considered
that it's business is confined to the United
States.
The Prudential wrote and placed in
1908 over $293. 100000 new insurance,
an amount which has never been equal
led by any other company when of the
same age nor by the Prudential itself in
any former year. Its net increase of in
surance in force for the year in the United
States alone. was greater than that of
any other company. 1t shows the fol-
lowing unequalled increases in the last
FIVE years: Asset 26O per cent, income
$50 per cent, insurance in force 225 per
cent, surplus II per cent. The popular
ity of the Prudential has been attained
by reason of the liberality and simplicity
of its policy contracts, its low rates and
splendid dividend results. With assets
of $116 for every 500 of liabilities the
Prudential can well lay claim to having
the Strength of Gibraltar"

Union Mission Study.

The second meeting Of the union mis-
sion class was held at the Fairbanks
Museum Friday afternoon, Mrs. Henry
Fairbanks presiding. The attendance
was large, somewhat in excess OF that at
the FIRST meeting. The devotional exer-
cises were led by Mrs. A. L. Bailey.
Mrs. c. c. Trull read a most interesting
paper on ''The Three Religions of China,
dwelling especially on the precepts of
Confucius and the creeds of Buddha.
Ancestral Worship" was the subject
of most graphic sketch by Mrs. helen
Hawley, who described the many curious
ceremonies connected with the worship
of the dead, and the various beliefs in
regard TO spirits.
Misses Fairbanks, Bingham, Harvey
and Ely gave brief sketches of the Jews
in China. secret sects, political and
revolutionary, Chinese Mohammedanism
and Western Christianity in China.
Many items OF interest, particularly
with regard to present day China, fol-
lowed, and the meeting closed with an
earnest plea by the chairman for. added
interest in the cause of Chinese missions.

Temperance rIeeting.

A Union temperance meeting was held
at Grace Methodist church last Sunday
evening at which the house was
crowded and greatly interested and pro-
flied by the address of Rev. FL. N. Prin-
gle of Maine.
Mr.. Pringle is Vermont man and
was visiting his parents in St. Johnsbnry
Center. Three years ago he was called
from the pastorate of the Congregational
church at PASSPORT, Me-, to assist in the
work of the Christian Civic League of
Maine and when the head of that organ
ization was called elsewhere, Mr.. Pringle
became its Secretary and has achieved
remarkable success in his work. Begin
ming with the key note of progress, after
showing our relation to the liquor bust
ness as compared with the past and with
other countries today, Mr. Pringle de-
scribed very clearly the growth of pro-
hibition sentiment in Maine and the
methods by which those who had been
multiplying the law had become it's faithful
supporters so that the people and their
officers and the courts were never so
harmoniously working toward the COM
plete suppression OF the traffic, as now.

D. A. r. at Wells River.

The st. John de Crevecoceur Chapter
luton met for the second time at Hale's
Tavern, Wells River, to commemorate

1.-THE Puritan Sabbath" Mrs. P. F.
Hazen.
"The Colonial Minister" Mrs. Gertrude
Laird, (Royalton).
Greetings with flowers were voted to
be sent to the two real daughters unable
to be present-Mrs. Sarah Hazen, st.
Johnsbury, and Mrs. Hannah Fellows,
Waterford. Letters were read thanking
the Chapter for the recent gifts to the
Academy and 9th Grade Union Schools
of facsimiles of the declaration of indie
pendence. The meeting closed with the
following resolution:
Whereas, we, the St. John de Creve-
occur Chapter of the Daug hters of the
American Revolution, in session on this
the birthday anniversary of George
Washington to show our patriotism.
and who endeavor at all times to stand
for what is right for our country's good.
Resolved, that we place ourselves on
record as in favor of the present liquor
laws in our town.
We feel that at the coming election in
March the best interests OF our town are
menaced, and we appeal to the voters to
continue to give US the freedom from
alarms which has been ours for the past
year, and to protect our homes from the
dangers which are sure to follow should
any but mo" vote prevail.
An effort is being. made to locate the
graves Of Revolutionary soldiers in our
town and vicinity. Any informa lion
regarding such graves, if sent to Mrs.
Robert Mackinnon. secretary, will be
forwarded to the state secretary of the
Sons of the American Revolution in
resp onse to such call.
