WOMAN TO Be ASSISTANT
PRINCIPAL HIGH SCHOOL
MISS LAURA LEFTY SUCCEEDS
PROF. EDWARD L. PONTZ.
Prof. Gates Who Was Elected Two
Weeks Ago Notifies Board He Wont
Accept-Principalship Still Open.

For the first time since the schools
were consolidated, Smyrna is to have
a lady principal in charge of the High
School grade. This innovation was
decided on at meeting of the Board
OF School Directors Thursday evening
when Miss Laura Lefty of North
Wales, Pa, was elected assistant
principal of the Smyrna schools to
succeed Prof. E. L. Pontz. Two
weeks ago Prof. Arthur M. Gates of
Baltimore, was elected Prof. Pontz's
successor, but another position pre-
vented him from accepting the Smyrna
offer and the way was made clear for
the election of Miss Lefty as above
stated. The School Board thought
over the matter very seriously before
voting to put woman in charge of
the High School grade but Miss Lettv
came so highly recommended as both
teacher and disciplinarian, it was
deemed expedient to make trial. In
doing so the Board hopes to do awav
with the friction and jealousy that
has existed more or less between the
Principal and principal, both
professional men, ambitious for posi-
ton and authority. Miss Lefty in
addition to a splendid normal school
training is a graduate of Washington
College, Chcstertown, Md, and has
been teaching for ten years. For five
years she has been the assistant prin-
cipal of the Georgetown, Delaware,
Schools, and previous to this was
principal of the Greensborough, Md.
Schools, having been advanced to this
position from assistant principal.
Miss Lefty has notified the School
Board that she will accept and will
be here at the opening of the school
IN September. The matter of elect
ing Principal has been left over
for further consideration. There are
a large number of applicants but the
board is investigating the subject
with the hope of getting the right
man for the place, since it will be
his duty to supervise the whole schools
and keep them up to a standard of
excellence. An election will probably
be made within a week or so.

APPREHEND BLACKBIRD ROBBER
They Were Accused of Holding Up and
Rob5ing Man at Blackbird-Held
in $1,000 Bail For Court

Henry and Neil Brickhouse. both
colored and cousins, were arraiqned
before Magistrate Robertson in Will
mington Wednesday evening on the
charge of highway robbery. Each
was held in 81, 900 bail for the upper
court and being unable to furnish
bail, they were sent to the work
house. The two men are those who
several weeks ago are alleged to have
attacked James H. Barley, colored.
an lnsur ance collector, along a road
near Blackbird and robbed him of
some small change. BARLEY sub
mitted to the robbery at the time but
as soon as the two men released him
ne hurried to the home of friend
and borrowed gun. He then went
to place where he thought the high
waymen would have to pass and waited
for them. AS the two negroes an
preached his hiding place he opened
fire on them. At the first shot Neil
Brickhouse fell with the load of shot
In his leg. Henry started to run. but
BARLEY fired after him. He missed
and Henry escaped. The latter went
to Baltimore and later was arrested
there as a suspect in the killing OF
Special Officer Boon of the Pennsvl-
vania railroad police, who was shot
and killed near Perryville Nd. Henry
Brickhouse then admitted to the Bal
timore police that he and his cousin
were wanted in Delaware for holding
up man an he was brought back bv
State Detective Harry l. ellis on
Tuesday. Neil had been in the county
hospital and was just released. He
was hardly abe to walk last night
when arraigned The peculiar part
of the case is that BARLEY the man
who was held mp is himself a prisoner
IN the workhOuse awaiting trial at
the upper court. After he shot at
the alleged hishwayman he went to
magistrates Office in Townsend and
telling what had taken place sur
rendered himself. If he expected to
be exonerated he was mistaken for
the magistrate committed him to the
workhouse for shooting the men who
had held him up.

STREET PAVING ATTRACTS
MUCH CURIOUS INTEREST
BRICKLAYER CAPABLE OF LAY
ING OVER 10000 BRICK A DAY
Crowds Watch Him as Well as the
Concrete Considerable
Delay in Receiving Cement.

After week or more delay in get
ting the two carloads of cement the
street work was taken up again Mon
day and is being pushed forward as
rapidly as possible. The concrete
has been finished in two squares and
the laying of vitrifed block in one
square. After completing the con-
crete work in the square between the
Four Corners and Mt. Vernon street
yesterday, the force of men were
shifted to the square between South
street and Chestnut in order to clean
up that end of the town before the
opening of the canning season as an
accommodation to the John H. Hoffecker
Canning Company. Failure to get
this end of the street done bv the
middle of next month would shut off
the only avenue of ingress and egress
to the factory and would consequent
ly entail great loss and ANNOYANCE
to this, the largest tomato industry
in Kent County. At the rate thew
are going the whole street will he
done by the middle of August unless
unforeseen delays happen. With the
lower section Of Main street con-
GREETED, Boss Patterson and his able
corps of workers will take up the
block between Commerce and South
AT the Four Corners, two large Gull
verts will have to be installed. The
bottom and sides will be of concrete
and over this will be placed heavy
sheet iron capale of bearing upwards
OF fifteen tons or more. Vitrifed
blocks will be laid over this. The
laying of the blocks was started last
week when George White, colored.
said to be one of the fastest brick
layers in the country arrived upon
the scene and began work. White
has a record of 80, 900 to 35, 900 bricks
day and so fast does he manipulate
the nine-pound blocks, that it keeps
his helpers taxed to keep him sup
piled. He has been watched curiously
not only by the people of town but
many from the country districts and
other towns who marvel at his won
derful endurance. Inspector Russell,
the engineer employed by the Town
of Smyrna, is on to his job and Boss
Patterson of the Amber Davis Com
pany, contractors, shows every inter-
est in giving the town a frst-class
job. Smyrna is surely going to have
a we'll built and beautiful stretch of
street.

HELPING TO GET FARM LABOR
Commissioner PowderIy Writes to the
Governor on the Subject.

governor on the subject.
Delaware farmers may be able to
obtain more help by the employment
of foreign farm hands. The Legis-
lature few years ago appropriated
money to assist in securing some of
the foreigners. Considerable money
was spent in advertising Delaware
through German papers. The farm
ers of other States needed hands, too,
and they offered better wages. Some
of the Kent County farmers secured
married and single farmers and they
have proven efficient on the farm and
soon learned the ways of the Ameri-
can farmer. Cooperation between
the governors of the various States
and territories and the division of
information of the Department of
Commerce and Labor to promote a
more beneficial distribution of aliens
in the congested centers of the
country is sought in a communica-
ton which has been sent out to the
chief executives of States by T. V.
Powderly, chief of the division of in
formation. This step has been
taken in view of the general demand
for immigration of a character that
will make good, peaceful, industrious
citizens. The letters were written
by way of suggestion to invite an
exchange of opinions and to secure
the views of the governors. 1t is
particularly desired that all available
data regarding the resources, pro-
ducts and physical characteristics of
each State and territory be sent to
the bureau. Attention is called to
the fact that numerous inquiries are
received as to where vacant lands
may be had, and to answer these
questions, Mr.. Powderly says that the
bureau would be glad to cooperate
with the States in directing the at
tention of admitted aliens and others
to such opportunities for settlers.
The question then is asked if the
governors have appointed agents to
represent their State at any of
the immigration stations of the
country as provided for under the
law. Evening Journal.

DISASTROUS FIRE NEAR LEIPsIC
Residence on the Farm of Harvey
Slaughter Wiped Out Sunday.


Harvey Slaughter and his entire
family living on the Knight farm or
Ragged Is and farm near Leipsic.
were aroused from their sleep at II
O'Clock Sunday night, sitting with
smoke and the smell of fire. The
farm house had caught fire during the
night, while the occupants slept.
Mrs. Slaughter was awakened by the
baby crying and discovered the fire in
the kitchen. Bhey had no time to
pick up anything of value and Just
time enough to escape in their night
clothes before the roof began to fall.
The House and its entire contents,
dry from the recent drought, were
consumed like finder. The farm i'm
plements and stock were a safe dis
lance and were not destroyed. The
origin of the fire is a mystery, the
family having no idea how it started.
Mr.. Slaughter and family have the
sympathy of the entire community in
the loss of their home which he had
just recently purchased.
