While the gray outlines of the
city faded in the evening light, a
vision of Soochow as one of the
great centers of the Chinese Empire
flashed through Our minds. BY
means of its numerous canals, it
is within easy access of Shanghai,
Hangchow, and Chinkiang; it is in
the heart of the silk district, and its
very name has magic sound in
the ear of the Chinese. A still hap
pier augury for its future impor
lance is the prospect of its becom-
ing the center of the Shanghai,
Hangchow and Marking Railway.
Western enterprise has at last per-
meated China's oriental conserv-
atism to good effect, and in the
awakeninp from her long sleep, she
is giving her consent to the laying
of the hated railways, which will
belt the empire from Canton to

OPENING OF CUNNING SEASON.

Many Sportsmen Avail Themselves of
the First Day and Bag Much Game
The cunning season opened Mon
day morning and from now until jan
uary the first it will be legal to shoot
quail, rabbits, woodcock, etc. De-
spite the fact that the weather con-
ditions seemed unfav2rable, large
party went out Monday morning to
enjoy the first days hunt. A num-
Der of our local sportsmen went to
Sussex, but a still larger majority
stuck close to home and had great
sport. Rabbits and birds are re-
ported more plentiful this year than
usual. Several parties returned with
records of between 20 and 80 rabbits
in one days hunt, but the largest
bag reported is that of Samuel Beck
and two friends who shot on Monday,
80 rabbits besides quail and woodcock.
Fortunately the day was without a
reported accident. Cunning trips
will now be in popular favor fl q

since not been recaptured. Johns
was held under $500 bail under the
charge of stealing some hides from
the slaughter house of George W.

but was not taken to Dover for the
reason that Constable Godsborough

the theft of hides along with Johns
and would have taken them both to
Dover at the same time. Edward
/ Clifton, colored, was arrested Satur-
dav night for drunkenness and disOr-

opposite direction. Young Hill
barely escaped fatal injuries. Aside
from few bruises he suffered no
serious mishap. His bicycle was
completely demolished. Yesterday
little Robert Roth Jr., son OF DIR.

passing team. The wheels passed
over him and he was picked up and
carried into Clifton and Raymond s

home. For a time there was fear
of confusion Of the brain but he re-
covered and is now about again.

Has Resulted In Twenty Conversions
To Date and Great Awakening.
The protracted meeting at Friend
ship Church, Smyrna Circuit, is still
in progress. This is the fifth week
this meeting has been running and
the interest seems to grow all the
tim. The church has been built up
and we have had about twenty con-
versions to date. Many are heads OF
families. People have been reached
that have never seemed to have much
interest in church work, though good
people in many respects. We are
hoping to see many more saved this
week. This is a strong church and
vet there is room for her strength
to be doubled and this church should
never stop until she reaches her full
possessions. This society is not the
/ kind the same work has to be dine
over every year. To my knowledge
there is not single one who was
saved in our great revival one yeai
ago, has gone back to the world, bu
have been true to their trust. Th'
new conversions have been new ma
terial in every case and yet there 1
much room for more. To God be tn
glory for what has been done. l an

Saturdays Traffic Was Heavy and
Many Had to Stand up.
The protest of the travelling pub
lie which has been gathering since
the installation of the gasoline car
on Smyrna Branch, broke out with
considerable force on Saturday.
Each trip of the "peanut roaster"
on Saturday was crowded, particular
ly the late trips in the afternoon and
early evening. The car has a seat
in capacity of twenty-eight and on
its six O'Clock trip Saturday evening
it is reported to have carried forty
eight passengers. Ten travellers,
who were unable to secure accom-
modations, walked from Clayton to
Smyrna at that time. Before the
car started on this particular trip
and throughout the journey into
Smyrna the insufficient facilities
were made the subject of consider
able criticism. 1t is understood
that the railroad authorities them
selves are seeing that the servic'
is not going to be satisfactory ant
that some changes will be made soon

send a delegation to confer wit

of the Delaware Division seems t
be at a standstill, awaiting furthe
