SENATOR ALLEE CONFERS
WITH THE SMYRNA LEADERS
TALKS OF REPUBLICAN STATE HARMONY
CONVENTION WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM.
Holds Short Conference With Senator Moore,
Representative Bags and Other RepubI-
cas- Leaders, Arranges For Convention


United States Senator J. Frank AL
lee was in town Monday afternoon and
visited State Senator DIR. L. G. Moore,
Representative Baggs and other Re
publican leaders to discuss plans for
the coming Republican State Harmony
Convention which will meet in Dover
next Wednesday. He stopped over on
his way from Wilmington and left on
the late train for his home III Dover.
The political outlook all tends toward
harmonious convention. A brass
band has been engaged for the occa-
sion and every district in the State is
being urged to send rousing delega-
tions. The convention will be held
in the Dover Opera House. Special
trains will probably be employed, and
If the weather is propitious, the largest
and most enthusiastic Republican
Convention in years will be held.
Speaking of the situation the Phila-
delphia Press says:-"The political
leaders, who feared that j. Edward
Addicks would be a disturbing force
in the coming campaign are now we'll
satisfied that Mr.. Addicks will not
kick up rumpus. His decision not
to hold separate State Convention,
as was intended, is taken to mean
that Addicks will turn in for harmony
and will take his chances with the
other Republicans at the harmony
primaries for the election of delegates
| to the convention to be held on Sep
tember 5th. Addicks also woke up to
the fact that his proposed convention
to have been held yesterday at Dover,
would have been farce, as not hand
full of delegates would have responded.
No one was paying any attention to
his call for the election of delegates
Saturday and no one turned up to
hold the election. Addicks has lost
his machinery in Kent and Sussex. He
never had strong one in New Castle
county and he would have developed
no followers at convention even had
one been held. At the same time
credit is given General T. Coleman
DUPONT, who has been so skillful in
smoothing out the rufies. It looks
now as if General DUPONT would be
deferred to at the coming State Con
vention and will be chosen as the State
Chairman provided he will accept the
place. 1t is thought that General Du.
Pont pointed out the unreasonable
ness of the position of Addicks and ad
vised Addicks to fight his battleI
within the ranks of the party. 1t il
not believed that General DuPon
made Addicks pledges of any sort
although Addicks would like to tic
him up. Reports from the lowel
counties indicate that the Republican
voters have registered more largely
than have the Democrats and there is
from the present registration, nj
doubt that the Republicans will win a
the election. The greatest interes
centres on the primaries to be hel'
next Saturday to elect delegates to the
State Convention. In Sussex there i
hard fight on between the friends
and opponents of Auditor Layton. Ii
Kent County it is thought, the sup
porters of Senator Alice will have nj
difficulty in controlling the delegates.

Working the Prisoners.

The new shackles purchased oy the city have arrived and two of the county's prisoners are wearing them while at work up- on the stre cts, being the first to do service under the contract recently entered into by the county judge and city council, whereby the city is to pay so much per day for actual work of prisoners serving out fines and costs imposed by courts of the county.
 Only two negroes were available and the other workmen served as guards under Street Foreman J. s. Hill. The patent shackle is worn on the left ankle and eX- tends forward and backwards at slight angles, so that should a prisoner attempt to run, the eX- tension bar would have a ten dency to uurn him around and surely trip his free leg.

Norman Named Chancellor.

Little Rock, April 13. Gov. Davis this morning appointed James C. Norman of the Ham, burg bar as chancellor of the Second district, to succeed Judge Marcus l.. Hawkins, whose death occurred last Monday evening. Judge Norman came to Little Rock Tuesday evening to look after his interests, and last night a delegation came from Lake Village in the interest of B. F. Merritt of that city, who was an applicant for the place. They came too late, however, as the appointment was made this morning before they had chance to be heard. The ap- pointment holds until March 4, 1907, when the term of Judge Hawkins would have expired. Judge z. T. Wood of Monticello was nominated at the recent primaries for the chancellorship.

For several days there has been talk of Senator Berry, should a gross injustice be done him sn the counting of the ballots cast in the recent state election, an nouncing himself to succeed Sen ator Clarke, and in that event Mr. Brundidge, it is understood, will not be candidate for United States senate.
 In the late election Mr. I'rur- didge, who was renonainated to succeed himself, was an out spoken champion of Senator Berry, and should the latter op- pose Senator Clarke for re- election he would not stand in the way. Senator Berry has given no intimation of his in- tentions concerning this matter, but on the contrary he main tains a discreet silence when the subject is mentioned. Some of his friends, however, insist that if he is unjustly deprived of his seat in the Senate he shall be a candidate against Senator Clarke. One thing, however, is certain: Mir. Brundidge will be a candi- date for the senate unless Sen ator Berry enters the race. To his friends MT. Brundidge eX- presses faith in the future, and declares that the situation IS shaping up to suit him. Senator Berry's defeat is not yet ad- mitted, and nothing short of a close and fair count will satisfy his friends. Although he has not committed himself on the subject, it is believed that Sen ator Berry will contest the elec- tion of Gov. Davis, the contest to be based upon alleged frauds in certain counties. The matter IS being rigidly investigated.

Cataract Of Eloquence."

The lecture by Morgan Wood last
evening was surprise to those favored
in hearing him. He is a wonder and a
power as speaker, and gave voice to
thoughts that stamp him as a man Of
high order of ability. The character
ization of his speaking as cataract of
eloquence" is happy one. His rapidity
of utterance is wonderful, and the
words, we'll chosen ones, seem to be
almost stumbling over each other to get
to the ears Of the audience 1t was like
a rushing mountain torrent, and, being
new to the audience, prevented them
from understanding fully all that he
said. We have never heard so rapid q
speaker, and it is seldom that so good q
lecture is heard In our city. The sub
ject was good one and we'll handled,
many points being 80 able and novel as
to attract attention in any audience

"a Fight to a Finish!"

Is the title OF Jean Barrymores new
melodrama, which comes to the Park
Theatre Dec. 20. The play tells an
intensely absorbing and heart stirring
story Of romance and adventure. 1t has
quick action and there is not slow or
draggy moment from the time the
curtain is raised until it is dropped on
the last act. While exciting climaxes
follow in quick succession, the author
has not forgotten the element Of
comedy, laughter and thrills being
intermingled throughout the per-
formance.
The part OF the heroine as esssyed by
Grace Belle Gilmore stands out in q
prominent manner, and too much praise
cannot be awarded her for her excellent
work. She is one Of the brightest,
cleverest little subrettes on the Ameri-
can stage and is ably supported by o
strong company. A number OF bright,
pleasing specialties are presented
during the performance.

paper was established fifteen years age
the advertising rate was made low on

TEACHERS COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Why Not Hold the Institute in Reynolds
vile Next Year?

The hfty-frst annual session OF the
teachers institute of Jefferson county
was held in Brookville last week and
was very interesting, instructive and
helpful institute. The best day in
structors obtainable we're present and
the evening entertainments we're fine.
Prof. r. B. Teitrick certainly does not
try to palm of anything cheap on the
teachers or patrons OF the institute.
AS has been stated In this paper before,
Prof. Teitrick has raised the county
institute to much higher standard
than 1t was when he was elected county
superintendent.
Now that Reynoldsville has build
ing large enough-Park Theatre-and
sufficient hotel room to handle the
institute, why not hold the institute at
this place next year? OF course the
institute has been held at Brookville
for years and a howl would be raised at
the county seat II the change is made
and the institute taken from Brookville
next year, but what of it? What more
right has Brookville to the institute
han Reynoldsville or Some other town
in the county that can give the required
accommodations? To change the insti
tute to Reynoldsville may incon
yenience Supt. Teitrick somewhat, but
as he is very obliglng gentleman, ever
ready to please the people, he certainly
would not object to the Inconvenience
We believe the change would be halle
with delight by the teachers in the
county. 1t would be a change foi
| them.
We mention this now so there will bt
plenty Of time to begin arranging fol
the county institute at Reynoldsvillt
in 1907. We will have more to say
about this at another time.
