CLICK RECEIVES PRAISE OF DUPONTS.
U. G. Click Former Trolley Promoter of
Smyrna Comes In For Praise at the Meet
ing of the Republican State Committee.

The Republican State Committee
met in Wilmington Friday and wound
up the affairs of the recent campaign.
The meeting was largely attended and
much satisfaction was expressed at the
outcome of the late election and the
future of the party. Very wisely the
committee did not undertake to mix
up with the matter of the organization
of the Legislature and the election of a
Senator. Those two matters belong
exclusively to the Legislature and any
assumption of control oyer them by
the State Committee would have been
met with pronounced resentment from
both the Legislators and their con-
stituents. One. important matter
brought up by Chairman T. G. dupont
aud considered by the committee was
the plan of establishing permanent
State headquarters, and it met, we are
glad to say with general favor. Here
tofore the State committee has ad-
journed at the close of a campaign to
meet no more for nearly two years,
when the next State campaign would
have to be arranged for, but to day it
was decided to hold regular meetings
every three months, and other meet
ings can be called by Chairman L.
Coleman DUPONT as he may deem
necessary. The Young Mems Repub-
lican Club is to enlarge its clubhouse
on King Street, and the committee dis
cussed a plan of establishing head
quarters in the building to be open
every weekday, in charge of a manager
to be appointed by the committee, sc
that down-State Republicans will be
free to call whenever they are in Will
mington. To maintain the elaborate
headquarters under consideration
every Republican State, county aud
city ofiiceholder will be assessed 6
small sum annually. The Evening
Journal in commenting on the meeting
gives credit to the 'inestimable wOrl
done in the last campaign by Mr.. U
VI. Ullck, VINO was III charge Ol tn'
Literary Bureau of the State Com
mittee, an innovation inaugurated b.
Chairman DUPONT. In the last cam
palgn there was distributed by the
Literary Bureau about 10000 publ
speeches, and in addition Mr.. Glicl
q sent out nearly 5000 letters and oYel
3 $4,000 copies of The Evening Journal
1t is generally conceded that the re
markable result of the late election il
this State was very largely due to til
3 efforts of Mr.. Click and his bureau il

Presby terian Church which was to

the Rev. j. l.. Estlin as pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Smyrna. last
Sunday the Rev, j. l.. Graham, of
Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, again APP

genial bearing. Next Sunday the Rev.
Henry p. Saunders, of Taneytown,
Md, will make his second visit to
Smyrna aud preach at the Presbyterian
Church. Mr.. Saunders has also made

Invoicing Completed Friday and Opened Under
the Management of ]. E. DefOrd Saturday.
J. Edward DeFord the we'll known
Main street merchant, who recently
bought the drygoods, notions aud shoe
stock of Hall & Megear and took long
term lease on the Megear store owned
by William Nj. Bell, took possession
Saturday. Much of the time last week
was taken up in a thorough and
systematic invoicing, which for a large
stock such as Hall & Megear carried
was no small job. Credit for the deal
should have been given in our an
nouncement last week to Henry d.
Boyer, our well-konwn Realestate
Broker. Mr.. Boyer handled the matter
with success, and has given Mr.. De-
Ford and the people of Smyrna what
possibly will be the largest department
store south of Wilmington. Carpen-
tiers began Monday to tear out the
partitions between Mr.. DeFord's old
and new tore, and when this done the
business will be systematized so as to
be convenient for the shoppers as well
as the salesladies. MIR. DeFord does
not intend doing it now, but in time he
may have but one large entrance to
the store and use what space is left for
display windows. Miss Margaret
Smith and Miss Edith Humphreys, the
popular and obliging salesladies en-
ployed in the dry goods and notion de-
partment of Hall & Megear's store,
have been retained by Mr.. DeFord.

Effects Deal With Hall & Megear For Their
Grocery Stock and Will Ron Both Stores.
W. G. Roe has purchased of Hall s
Megear their grocery business which
was conducted in the Hall store. and
has taken the unexpired lease on the
building for the balance of the. year.
The deal was effected Monday and Mr..
Roe took charge yesterday morning.
For the present Mr.. Roe will conduct
both stores. After the first of the year
he will probably move the Hall & Me-
gear stock to his own store. This deal
heads off the reduction sale which has
been going on there at lively rate the
past week. Hall 81 Megear are now
out of the retail mercantile business,
having disposed of their dry goods and
shoe stock (the Megear store) to J. E.
DeFOrd last week. For the present
they have rented the office of the late
David j. Cummins on Main street,
where they will be found. The rent
ing ofsuch place was found necessary

MIR. Cooper's charge was excessive,
and several lawyers gave testimony
that the fee was too large. but Mr..
Cooper produced a half dozen other
lawyers who testified that the fee of
$3.50 for the services performed was
not exorbitant. Magistrate Robertson

TEMPERANCE FOLKSOPPOSE
MIOOLETOWN HOTEL LICENSE
REMONSTRNACE SIGNED BY 367 PERSONS
AGAINST RENEWING MCINTYRE LICENSE.
Court in Session at Wilmington, WithhOlds De
CisIOn After Hearing Much Testimony For
and Against Renewing Liquor License.

For four hours Saturday the judges
sitting in the Court of General Sessions
heard testimony for and against the re-
newing of liquor license to John p.
Mcintyre, proprietor of a hotel in
MiddletOwn, said to be one of the finest
hosteries in Delaware outside of Will
mington. There was a remonstrance
against the renewing of the license
signed by 367 persons living in Mid
dletown. The grounds for opposing
the granting of the license were that
the application is not properly signed
by the required number of freeholders.
that the signers did not read the appli-
cation before signing, and that the APP
plicant has sold liquor to minors. The
| court after hearing both sides reserved
its decision until this week. The case
probably attracted more attention than
any contested liquor case which has
come before the court for years. Dur
ing the entire hearing the court room
was crowded. A carload of witnesses
and others interested in the matter
from Middletown were present. The
witnesses on both sides numbered
about 100. W. S. Prickett, counsel for
the Law and Order Society, represent
ed those pushing the case, and Walter
Hayes aud J. Frank Biggs were coun.
sci for Mr.. Mcintyre. When Mr..
Prickett said that there were more
than 1867 signers to the remOnstrance,
counsel for the applicant explained thai
but 81 of the signers were men. Under
thr law, it is required that six slgners
to a liquor application, except in Will
mington, must be freeholders. This
question was first taken up and Johr
A. Fortner was called to the stand
Before Mr.. Fortner was allowed t.
testify the court suggested that the
counsel get together and see if they
could agree upon how many freeholderi
had signed the application. Counse
for the applicant submitted the names
of nine signers, who they claim wer
freeholders. Rev. A. w. Lightbourn
pastor of the Middletown NJ. e
Church, and J. Parker, were the ad
visers of Mr.. Prickett during the hear
ing. After a conference the opponent
, agreed that five of the men alleged t
be freeholders were properly qualified

NORTH BUTTE.

BOSTON-We understand that the new equipment at the North Butte has been installed and while there are a few details to be attended to, it is xpected in few days they will bring this new plant into operation, and the amount of ore hoisted will be considerably increased.
 It is expected that the company will noise about 1500 tons of ore per day. with its new equipment, as against 300 tons per daN at present The production of copper will not show a corresponding increase, for instead of mining 80 per cent. first c,sss ore, and 20 per cent. second class, it is now expected they will be able to handle lrager amount of lower-grade ore, and the propor- tionate shipments will be about two. thirds first-class and one-third second class ore, and this will enable them tc handle more of the lower-grade ore from the old Speculator mine.
