A WORD FOR THE PRIMARY.

The more that the results of max

much whether they get 2-cent railroad
fares or not, provided they can OBJ

The farmers and shippers of the coun-

shipping passengers, but it is the cost

The Sunday train discussion still
keeps before our people and this week
we give way to a reply to the Rev.
DR.. Watts letter. AS reported in the
Dover State News the ministers headed
by Rev. DR.. Lightbourne claim to have
a petition of 5000 names and expect by
the end of next week to have 10000
names recorded against Sunday trains.
Ninety percent of Smyrna's business
men are credited with signing the petit
tion but this seems to be false and
misleading from the number of those
we are informed who refused or were
not asked to sign the paper. Some of
those who signed did so for 'policy's
sake, because they were appealed to,
and at least one man went so far as to
sign it conditionally viz, if he
wanted to use a Sunday train he would
do so. Others signed simply out of
courtesy to those who were circulating
the petition. Thus, taking it all in all
it can hardly be said that the petition
accurately represents the public senti-
ment on this question

REPLY TO THE REV. Or. WATTS LETTER.
"Layman" Answers Each Of His Ten PrOpOsi.
tlOns on Sabbath Dissertation and Sunday Train

To the Editor of ''The Times:"-
Doubtless, your readers are weary of
the discussion (if it may be so digni-
fed as to whether the running of
trains on Sunday desecrates the Holy
Day. The reputation of DIR. Watt as a
scholar and experienced thinker is
high, and while, doubtless, many of
his admirers were panied at the temper
and argument directed against the po.
sition of the Wilmington paper in a
previous issue, yet upon more leisure
consideration of the subject with the
knowledge before him viz: that ships
have been sailing, steamers plowing
the seas, and trains running every
where on Sunday for many years, one
might readily expect from the ten or
more propositions, laid down, that
some clear unmistakable facts would
be adduced to show that travelling on
Sunday by train and steamer had pro-
duced widespread degradation and i'm
morality, and hence, should be stop.

one sided generalities full of yerbiage

Doctor is not influenced by the flames

but in his article there are earmarks of

dog days are casting a shadow on him.
Let us consider his propositions briefly
and simply in the light of common
sense, common knowledge and com

Taking up his proposition seriatim,
IL may be said: First-Sunday rests
upon Church authority, and is a rec

court had been received from all over

Much amusement was caused when
nine grenadiers, in strict military order,
marched into the room as witnesses
against the prisoner. Noigt answered
the Judge 8 queries uureservedly, mar
rating the history of his life without
dramatic emhellishment and told a
straightforward story of the CoepeniclS
affair in an unassuming manner.
An interesting fact brought out was
that Noigt years ago made use of an
expression which led to his capture
having remarked to n fellow prisoner
while in the penitentiary. where he was
under sentence: ''With a few soldiers
one could do n fine Job, -
This prisoner, after hearing Of the
