ADDIcKs TURNS JOKE ON SMYRNA BARBeE
Hears his Title Read Clear on his Trolley Build.
ing Before his Identety Is Disclosed.

John Edward Addicks dropped down
on business trip to Smyrna last
Thursday and shortly after his arrival
he sauntered into a local barber shop
to get shaved. His coming to Smyrna
was unexpected and the barber VINO in
vited him to the chair evidently did
not know that he was about to shave a
man who had become more notorious
in Delaware politics than any man of
recent years. "What do the Smyrna
people think of the trolley" inquired
Mr.. Addicks. The barber replied in a
very frank manner: "Some people
think it will be success while others
do not pin much faith to it. Several
years ago Addicks who wants to be a
United States Senator stirred up a
trolley agitation in Delaware and was
going to build line through the state
but the people never had any faith in
anything Addicks was going to do, and
they have been very skeptical about
the trolley ever since" Mr. Addicks
appreciated the fact that he was q
stranger to the tonsorial artist and
chuckled to himself at the frankness
with which his name was referred to.
The trolley conversation lasted for sew.
eral minutes. After getting out of the
| chair Mr.. Addicks handed the barber q
quarter and said: 81 guess you DOM
know who i ami" The young man said
"No." "Well'' said Addicks,'' 1 am
that bad man you referred to as want
ing to build trolley in Delaware-J
Edward Addicks." 1t is needless te
say that the young barber felt like
thirty-cents, while Mr.. Addicks went
out laughing, appreciating the joke
hugely.

REPUBLICANS FIGHTING FOR HARMONY.
Senator Alice Heads Movement TO Get Fac
ton Together-Addlcks Wary of Such Move.


ton Together-Addlcks Wary of Such Move.
Senator Alice was in Georgetown
Saturday and spent the day in confer
ence with Caleb r. Layton and var
ious Sussex Unions who are infuen-
tisl leaders in the present crisis. The
Senator declared that he was only toll
ing for Republican success and for
one Republican party, and that he was
living in the deter mination that If the
Republican temple fell next November
the blame would not fall upon his
shoulders. 1t is said, however, that
what the Harmony leaders most fear is
a snap convention, planned and held
by j. Edward Add1cks, with the re-
suit of continuing the factional fight.
Addicks fights harmony in leading
editorial in his Dover newspaper, the
Sentinel, this week, as follows:
GAS matter of downright common
sense there is no need of a conference
of dicker to harmonize the Republican
voters in one party. 1t is just the other
way about. General duPonts recent
visit to Kent County, solicited or I'M
solicited, was an attempt to break
through the Union Republican lines
for the capture and control of the
camp. He wants to get back and APP
parently would rather climb in back
window than walk in the front door -
he wants to avoid the obligations of a
front door entrance; the obligations to
respect the rules of the house in which
bootblacks aud big men have equal
rights. That is the Republican idea.
Eqnal rights and no crowding. That
too, we think, owing to our Methodist
training, the gospel idea. No need of
conference of dicker when the general
terms are SO generous.
Resolutions endorsing the movement
against bribery throughout the State
and favor the unitings of the two Re-
publican factions under one Republi-
can State Committee were unanimously
adopted at meeting of the Regu
Republican County Committee Satur-
day afternoon. The meeting was held
at the Young Mems Republican Club
and was called to order at 100 O'Clock
by Chairman Merritt N. Willis oil
Middletown. For several days there
had been rumors to the effect that Mr.
Willis would resign the chairmaushi I
because he would soon move to Phila
delphia. 1t was reported that Clerk O.
the Peace Winfield S. Quigley would
make fight to succeed him. Although
Mr.. Willis did not resign, 1t is tn,
opinion of number of members o
the committee that he will in short
time. The meeting was perfectly har
monious one, as there was not dis
senting vote against any motion
Mayor Horace Wilson was presen
on invitation of the committee. H
made few remarks urging the mem
bers to attend the meeting regularly
and take an interest in the party work
Former United States Senator L
, Heisler Ball came in the room a few
minutes before the meeting adjourned

and resolution offered by George l..
Bunker was adopted at last Saturday q
session and the secretary was also or.

Whereas: We recognize that the shippers

And whereas: We believe the Railroad

Therefore, Resolved; That Rural Grangs
