SMYRNA'S SECOND REGISTRATION DAY
Only 6S Qualify 10 the Two Districts and But
Little Interest MaHifested-Fi Short
of Corresponding Day Two Years Ago

The second days registration came
off Saturday with apparently as little
interest as the first. Registrar Gun
ming on the east side enrolled AZ names
making a total of 6S for his district.
On the west side Registrar John E.
Phillips, Jr., only put on 26 names, a
total of 65 for the district. The apathy
is not accounted for other than that
the voters as general thing are very
busy at this season of the year and are
putting the matter oil until it is really
necessary to be done In comparison
with the registration two years ago the
East side is twelve behind and the
| West district three behind. This is
not so bad but the point is to get reg
istered and not to delay until the last
day. In makes long tedious day for
the registrars and those who possibly
can spare the time should attend to
this important matter at once. An
other opportunity will be given next
Saturday the 18th inst after which the
Registration Boards will not meet.

urday compared with 1863 tw years
ago, or falling behind Of 6J The
registration is always heavier for a
presidential election and therefore the
registration this year is considered up
20 the average ana there is no doubt
that most OF the parties Will now be
able to get practically their full votes
registered. There are still three days
upon which voters may register, but
only those who register in August can
vote at the New Castle County prim-
ary elections of tue various parties,

fecker Canning Company starts up
with the first lot of tomatoes received.
The other factories in this vicinity will
all start this week or the first of next
and the prospect is for busy season.
There is diversity of opinion regard
ing the outlook for large crop of to-
matoes. Some think it is going to be
a big year and others think that the
crop will be much shortened on ac-
count of the wet weather and hot suns
blighting the vines At least one
thing is certain and that is the acreage
set out this year has been much larger
than usual. The factories will keep
things going lively while the season
lasts and the prospect is that the num-
ber of canned tomatoes put up will ex-
ceed last year by several thousand.

this vicinity which employs all home
labor. Each year this home industry
