FOR COUNTY CLERK

The announcement of T. NJ.
Waldrip of Magness township as
candidate for county clerk will
be found in another column. Mr..
Waldrip served the people as
county treasurer for four years,
and has an excellent record to his
credit. He was in the race four
years ago for county clerk and
was defeated only by a narrow
margin. He is one of the county's
best citizens whose ability and in
tegrity is well know. His former
record, both as an official and
as private citizen, is ample
assurance that the people would be
given good and satisfactory SER
vice if they should see fit to choose
Mr.. Waldrip to serve them in the
position to which ne aspires.

WILLIAM K.HUKILL RECALLS HIS
BOYHOOD DAYS IN THIS VICINITY
Tells of People He Knew Who We're
Prominent in Smyrna in the Early
Forties and Relates Incidents

Wilmington, Jan. 19.-POwell
Nickerson whom l think was from the
country west of Smyrna, came to
Smyrna about the. beginning of the
Rebellion. He was fine specimen of
manhood, was little bit of jockey
and was in the horse brokerage bust
ness putting horses into the army
service during the war. William
Nelson was also from near Kenton,
moving into Smyrna where he lived
good many years and died there and
was highly respected wherever he
was known. He had one son, John
Nelson who now lives at St. Georges.
Among the old Smyrna families was
a Mr.. Patterson, l can't recall his
first name, but he was a man of pro-
perty and after his death Mr.. Ma
son, known as General Mason married
into the family, but his wife held on
to the reins and steered the business

been deficient, and certainly might
have been classed as a gentleman of

SMYRNA IN A LICENSE MIDDLE
Effort to Make DR.. Long, Proprietor.of
Medicine Show, Pay License Falls.
On Town for Sum of SIO6.4O

A crusade to compel the managers
of playhouses in the State outside of
Wilmington to take out a State Ii
cense has been inaugurated by State
Revenue Collector Harry Chairs who
came here late Wednesday night and
served warrant on DR.. w. H. Long,
proprietor of the Diamond Jack In
dian Medicine Show. Complaint
having been lodged against the show,
the state revenue collector came here
and swore out a warrant before JUS
tice of the Peace Henry S. Anthony,
the warrant being served by Con-
stable William M. Boyer. DIR. Long
informed the collector that he had a
license, but investigation revealed
that 1T was only a retail license and
when being informed that this was not
sufficient, the Snowman claimed that
his contract provided that all licenses
were paid. This proved to be the
case with the result that Joseph H.
Wright who had charge of the Opera
House where the show was exhibit
ing was seen and compelled to take
out a license, the amount being
$780, so, with $3.50 additional for
costs. In discussing the affair Mr..
Wright who is chairman of the Opera
House Committee, said he could do
nothing else but pay the license. All
Opera House contracts to travelling
shows let by the Town of Smyrna
have been reading "free of all IL
censes, light and fuel, ;" and since
the contract was entered into and
properly signed by DR.. w. H. Long
the burden was on the Town of Smyr-
ma. Some of the members of the
council were for contesting the mat
ter since the Town is an incorporated
body and operated under its own char
ter. DR.. Long however had the town
In a close place and as Revenue Col
lector Chairs and Constable Boyer
demanded immediate settlement, Mr..
Wright paid the claim out of his own
pocket and will look to Council to
reimburse him. The case would
probably have never been noticed
had not some one informed on the
medicine show for doing business in
Smyrna without license. 1t is the
first case of the kind Smyrna has ex-
perienced since it has owned the
Opera House. 1t is understood that
the State reveue collector will visit
other towns throughout the State and
compel the managers of Opera
Houses, Clubs and plays houses or
the persons having them in charge to
take opt State license
