Fortunate Escape in Auto Accident.

While coming from Sitter to
this city Monday evening in his
automobile Dr.. j. Godfrey met with
an accident which fortunately did
not prove serious to any Of the FIVE
occupants of the car. While travel
ling at a good speed along fairly
level stretch of road one of the back
wheels suddenly 'skidded" sending
the car side ways across the road and
overturning it, on top of four of the
occupants, Mrs. Humphrey and
daughter Mrs. Lambert Groenier 8nd
baby and DR.. Godfrey. Miss Laura
Wurster who was sitting in the back
seat was thrown quite distance but
fortunately none of them sustained
any serious injuries. The ladies
were able to extricate themselves and
baby easily but DIR. Godfrey had
dicfiult time dragging himself from
beneath the heavy machine. The
steering gear was bent back against
the front seat and it is a wonder that
the doctor was not badly crushed.
One Of the back wheels was broken
but the machine was not damaged be-
yond repair. The evening train that
was due about this time was tagged
and brought the autoists to this city.
The machine was brought down yes
terday morning and the work of
making the necessary repairs was
started in the afternoon.

GOOD BEADING.

A taste for good reading has
long been observed as one of the
most effectual safeguards to young
men against vice and crime. In
the first place, it serves to give
employment in those hours of leis-
ure and freedom from work which
would be likely otherwise worse
than wasted. To the young man
who has no taste for reading, the
evening hours become loaded with
temptation. It is tiresome to sit
moping, and he naturally drifts
to the street or the card table.
There he finds others like himself,
with vacant hours to while away,
and thus grow up those habits and
associations which soon eventuate
in dissipation or lead to crime.
We doubt if one instance in
thousand can be found of young
mans making shipwreck of hopes
and character who was accustomed
to spend his evenings at home
reading good books; and we say to
any parent that a we'll stocked IL
brary and an abundant supply of
newspapers aud magazines, with
the habit of reading on the part of
your boy, ia worth more to keep
him out of mischief, and to make
man Of him, than any other sin
gle influence at your command.

The movement for speedway long
Glenwood Avenue from Hudson's
Lane to Main street, is growing
apace. Such a course will doubtless
prove of interest to many citizens as
we'll as our turfmen. Smyrna needs
a little enterprise of this kind to en-
liven its sportive blood and so long
as it is conducted with fairness and
decorum, it will be an interesting and
pleasant pastime. By converting the
old Bombay Hook Railroad course
into a speedway and the planting
of trees and laying of sidewalks
along said course, an impetus to real
estate and the extending of Smyrna
that way might be brought about.

delights for outings long or short, and each easily

With reference to woman suffrage,
which is a growing sentiment in
many localities, the Baltimore Sun
treats the subject in the following
sarcastic vein: COLORADO proposes to
make the experiment of sending a
woman to Congress by electing one
of its ablest lady agitators, politi-
clans and clubwomen as a member of
the national House of Representa-
tives. It's a wonder they didn't
think of that long ago. With thous-
ands of female citizens and voters,
they have never yet honored woman
by electing her to position in the
Federal Government. 81
'The women need a representa-
tive in Congress. Their voice is
heard everywhere else in the land:
why should they be excluded from
the one place where talk is a profess

umbrella in one hand and a hatpin
in the other, march down the aisle
