SMYRNA CHANGERS HONORED
Mr.. and Mrs. M. v. Ford to Represent
Kent County At State Grange
Which Meets at Dover, Dec. 9

At a meeting of the Kent County
Pomona Grange at Dover Thursday,
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew V. Ford were
elected delegates to the coming State
Grange which will meet in December.
The County Grange met in the
Century Club rooms holding session
morning and afternoon and serving
dinner and supper in the Club dining
room. Nearly two hundred members
were in attendance. Edward A.
Evans, Cheswold, presided. The
address of welcome was made by
Wesley Webb of Capital Grange, and
the response by David Rothenburg of
Hartly. Mr.. Rothenburg stated that
doubtles, the tariff will be revised at
the next session of Congress, and
urged that farmers take steps to see
that protective duty is placed upon
bananas and other fruits that lessen
the consumption of our home fruits.
Mr.. Hervey Walker, Master of the
State Grange, made an address in
which he advised the farmers to build
Independent telephone lines. He also
called attention to the session of the
National Grange which will open in
Washington D. c., on November II,
and stated that there would be a
large number of the members in Del
aware who would attend this meet
ing as visitors. He announced that
the State Grange would be held in
Dover on December the eighth.
There was an interesting discus
sion on tuberculosis. Wesley Webb
one of the delegates appointed by
the Governor to attend the Congress
in Washington, made a report of
what he heard and saw at the Con-
gress. All the subordinate oranges
in the county are active in grange
work and are increasing in member
ship. There are ten oranges in the
county with total membership of
800. The next meeting will be held
in FELTON, on Thursday, January 7th.

.FINAT REGISTRATION DAY
BRINGS UP SMYRNA VOTE
TOTAL NUMBER OF NAMES QUAIL
IFIED FOR ELECTION-Io45
This is Nearly a Hundred More Than
the Total Vote Two Years Ago
Both Political Parties Active

The Duck Creek Hundred vote will
poll at the coming election 1O45
votes, this being the total number
of names qualified. Saturday was
the last registration day of the cam
paign and those who did not get on,
will be deprived of vote at the
coming election which will take place
on the third of next month. Satur-
day was therefore an active day with
the leaders of both parties and every
effort was made to get every man on.
The result was that POI names were
qualified, 100 by Registrar Anthony
and 1O1 by Registrar Cunning. Ad-
ding this to the names already
placed on, brings the grand total up
to 1O45 or 81 more than the total
registration two years ago. Both
parties seem satisfied with the regis
tratiOn and both will enter more Wig
orOusly into the two remaining
weeks of the campaign with the
hope of carrying old Duck Creek.
The total number of names on the
registration lists in Wilmington this
year, as being qualified to vote at
the general election on November Sd,
is 21, 986, which is larger, by about
5000, than in the next highest pre-
ceding year, which was 1907, when
the total registration was IS, 936.
The total registration on Saturday,
the final opportunity to qualify for
this years election, was 2, 402, while
prior to Saturday the registration ag-
gregated 10, 584, which was heavier
than ever before in Wilmington.
In every ward in the city there was
heavy increase over the previous
registration, which was duo partly to
the natural growth of the city, part
ly to the fact that the registration
fee has been abolished and partly to
the unusual activity of the Democratic
and Republican political committees.
The registration is said to have the
Republicans claiming small major
ity.

OYSTERS SAID TO BE PLENTIFUL
They are Selling in Milford as Low as
Ten Cents a Basket.

Violations of the oyster laws were
reported last week, in that some per-
sons are catching and delivering
oysters under the regulation size.
The standard of the law is raised in
order that these oysters, which are
too small for profitable purposes,
shall be returned to the stream, but
some of the greedy pOachers are TAX
ing big, little and all, and in some
instances are denuding the streams.
Oysters are so plentiful in the neigh
borhood of Milford, due to the lack
of demand for them outside, that
~ sold this week for ten cents a
basket. Living is, therefore, not
high in Milford.
