P. J. Bunker, who some two weeks
ago was appointed by the town council
to take census of Forsyth, has COM
pleted the task assigned him, and on
Monday evening made his final report
to the council. Mr.. Bunker finds that
there are 1852 people residing within
the corporate limits of Forsyth; of
these 681 are males and All are fe-
males. The census was ordered taken
at this time in order to ascertain our
exact population, the law requiring
that as soon as an incorporated town
attains population of 1000 or more
it must administer it's affairs under
the provisions made for the govern
ment Of cities of the first, second or
third class.
While Mr.. Bunker's task involved
considerable travel and the putting of
many questions, the only really serious
obstacle encountered by him was in ell
letting satisfactory responses to his
inquiries relative to the ladies' ages,
it being part of his duties to ascertain,
SO far as possible, how long each resi-
dent has sojourned upon this mundane
sphere. When he embarked in the
work P. j. thought himself fairly
good judge as to age, but in the clos
ing days he conceded that any ideas
heretofore held by him on this sub
ject had been thoroughly and complete

Splendid Musical Talent

The evening meeting at the Club

most enjoyable affairs in the cele-
bration of Hallowe' EN-. The auditor
ium was charmingly decorated with
autumn leaves, pumpkins, apples
and lighted candles in candle sticks
made of yellow ears of corn, while
the stage was banked with shocks of
fodder enclosed by high wall COM
pletely covered with brilliant foli-
age, giving the effect of a garden.
The President, Mrs. w. B. Megear,
presided and introduced the speaker
of the evening, Mr.. W. H. Stayton,
who gave one of the most delightful
as we'll as instructive talks the Club
has ever listened to. His subject
was 1.-The Navy in the Revolution,
and was Epresented from a side few
of the audience were familiar with.
the common sailors port in
the great struggle for independence.
At the conclusion of the lecture it
was indelibly impressed upon all pre-
sent that had it not been for the
prompt and brave seamen, who by
their daring captures at sea secured
powder and arms for Washington in
the beginning of the war, our we'll
known land victories might not have
been possible. The music rendered
during the evening by the gentlemen
of Smyrna was much appreciated
and enjoyed and all were obliged to
respond to encores. The program
was as follows Vocal solo, "What

FRANK H. DAVIS BRINGS SUIT.
Republican Nominee Institutes Action
Against Wilmington Every Evening

Republican Nominee Institutes Action
Against Wilmington Every Evening
There was au important develop
ment of the campaign Saturday when
Frank H. Davis, of Dover, the
Republican nominee for attorney
general, brought suit in the Superior
Court at Wilmington, against the
Every Evening Company, publishers
of the Every Evening, charging libel.
Notice of the suit was filed with
Prothonotary Speakman by Walter
H. Haynes, of Wilmington, who,
with A. S. L. Shields, of Philadel-
phia, will represent Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Shields participation in the
case is due to the fact that he is a
personal friend of the plaintiff.
Mr.. Hayes stated that the suit was
based on the publication of an article
in the Every Evening on October II,
in which it was alleged that Luther
Seward, a prominent Republican of
Kent county, signed a statement to
the effect that Mr.. Davis had given
him $375 for use at the Republican
primary election in that county in
October 1906. Mr.. Seward, it was
further narrated in the article, sub
sequently denied the statements to
which he had subscribed his name.
The attorney further said: "'The
reason that suit was not brought pre-
viously was because Mr.. Davis fully
expected a retraction would be made.
AS this has not been done, it was
! decided to enter suit at once. Other
articles published in the Every Even
ing will be included. I" When asked
what amount of damages would
be claimed, Mr.. Haye said he had not
been instructed on that point, as yet
by Mr.. Davis, but that the claim
would be of a substantial nature.
He declared that speedy trial
would be insisted upon, and that Mr..
Davis is contemplating instituting
action against individuals who are
responsible for the attacks made upon
him.

mas well-known clothier ard shoe
agent, for taking a box in front of
Wallis store on Tuesday, October
goth, containing ten pairs of shoes.
In default Downs was taken to Dover
to await his trial at the next term
of court. The discovery was made
by a system of freight receipts
and sales slips kept by Mr.. Walls.
The box came by freight and was put
off in front of Wallis store on the
goth ult without notification. During
the day Downs came along an0
wanted to buy an empty box, offering
Norman w. Coleman, Mr.. Wallis
salesman, a nominal amount for a
small box, which he picked up and
carried away. Coleman supposing the
box to be empty and among other
empty boxes which the House is
accustomed to sell took the money
and entered up the sale without any
other thought When it came to
checking up the freight receipts
box of ten pairs of Douglas shoes
was missing. Investigation was
at once entered into, traced to it's
being put cut in front Of Walls
store by H. B. Gricves' colored man
on the goth, and the sale of the sup
posed empty box made. When ar
rested Downs had one pair Of the
shoes on his feet and nine other pairs

H. c. schudY and j. P. LeFevre Come
Across First Delaware Specimen
While out on the farm of Mrs. w.
E. Waters near Smyrna Landing on
Tuesday of last week, Harry C.
Tschudy and John P. LeFevre came
across a rare species of fungus, said
to be the first of its kind ever col
lected in Delaware. The specimen
was brought to Smyrna and passed
over to Mr.. w. M. Bell, our local
botanist. The latter, noting it to
be of curious interest and much out
of the ordinary, sent it to the Della
ware College Experiment Station.
Friday he received letter from Mel
7. Cook, head of the Department of
Plant Pathology stating that "the
fungus which was sent is Mutinus
caninus Fr., and belongs to the
family Phalloideae, or what is COM
monty known as Stink Horn. They
grow on decaying vegetable matter,
and so far as / know, none of the
species in this part of the world
are of any Importance other than be-
ing of scientific interest. / am very,
very glad to receive this specimen,
as l think it is the first time it has
been collected in Delaware, and is
quite acceptable for our collection. !"

James T. Truax Defeats John P. Hudson Republican For
Levy Court-W. B. Megear For Insurance Commits
soner Given Splendid Complimentary Vote

Duck Creek Hundred which for
several administrations has been
under Republican rule was swung
back to the Democrats at yesterdays
election in one of the most vigorously
fought campaigns in the history of
the hundred. The Democrats were
splendidly organized and they worked
to man. The election came off
quietly and no untoward incident hap
pened to mar the day. The weather
was all that could be asked and early
the party workers were up and doing.
Bryan carried Duck Creek by 80 ma
jority and Paynter for Governor by 36.
Hervey P. Hall, Democratic candi-
date for Legislature ran ahead of his
ticket and defeated A. E. Jardine,
Republican, by a majority of 68
votes. Mr.. Jardine's defeat, how
ever, was due to the "cut" received
by his own party. w B. Megear for
Insurance Commissioner ran away
head of his ticket and received a ma
jOrity of 14O votes, high compli-
ment from the town in which he
lives. Andrew c. Gray, for Attor-
ney-General, received a majority of
Ill votes over Frank H. Davis, Re-
publican The Prohibitionists polled
18 votes, five in the eastern and
thirteen in the western districts.
This vote helped raise the majorities
of Pennewill, A. C. Gray, w. B.
Megear, Thomas J. Gray, Theodore
F. Clark, John P. Hudson, w. E.
Maloney, j. F. Buckson and William
A. Willis who were on the ticket.
The Independent Republican ticket
received but one vote in Duck Creek
Hundred and that for William Ulig
for Prothonotary. Edgar Spruance
for Register of Wills and Charles
Howell LeFevre for prothonotary
each ran ahead of their ticket. A
singular feature was that there were
three tie votes as indicated in the
vote below, but none affect the re-
suit but that of Inspector of the
East District in which case the
Governor is given the power tC

dupont, Republican State Chairman
claims Delaware for Taft by $500
plurality. He also claimed the
election of Pennewill, Rep, for Gov
ernor by 1000 pluaIity, and the rest
of the Republican State ticket by the
same figure, with the exception of
Davis for Attorney-General, whose
election he claims by 1900. The
Republicans will control the next

cans have carried Sussex county by
from 500 to 600 majority. Republi-

LANDSLIDE FOR TAFT & SHERMAN
Republicans Garry Nearly all the North
ern States Including New York

William Howard Taft has been
elected twenty-seventh. president of
the United States, receiving at last
returns 298 votes in the Electoral
College with 16 doubtful. He pro-
badly will carry the three doubtful
states-Maryland, Colorado and Mon
tana, which will give him a plurality
over Bryan of Is.
Practically no change is indicated
in the complexion of the national
House of Representatives. The
United States Senate will retain it's
present Republican majority.
Governor Hughes has been re-
elected in New York State by about
81, 600 plurality.
Indiana has gone for Taft. Bryan
has apparently carried Nebraska.
Ohio returns are slow, owing to
the large ballot, but Taft has carried
the State by large plurality.
The greatest surprise was the Re
publican victory in New York city,
where Taft's majority was 5000.
Never before has this city gone Re-
publican in Presidential election,
except in 1900, when it voted for
Mckinley as against Bryan. Chanler's S
plurality in the city was 65, 900.
Taft's plurality on the popular
vote is estimated at 1,162, $50, as
against Roosevelt's plurality of 2,
545, Sis over Parker.
Mr.. Taft will probably receive q
greater plurality in New York State
than President Roosevelt did fou1
years ago. He has exceeded Mr.
Roosevelt's plurality in New JeseS
and had record vote in Massachu
setts.

A BUSINESS CANDIDATE.

In reply to delegation of his

didate for the Republican nomination
for Governor of Minnesota. Mr.. Saw
age possesses at least one of the es-
sential qualities of good Republican
candidate. He has money. In refer
ence to political issues and platform.
Mr.. Savage may be equally satisfac-
tory to the Republican politicians, but
he surely will not meet the require
ments in that respect of the voters of
Minnesota if his announcement to his
friends is to be taken as a statement
of his position.
you must take my word as busi-
ness man that will treat matters that
come before me in fair and just
way"
