Today's wedding appears to mark the

Now, that high prices for cotton

The experience of this farmer is
not unique, because others have done
the same thing this season.
The question is often as ked why
the New Orleans quotations are now
a-days always higher than cores
ponding quotations at New York, and
relatively higher than at liverpool.
The answer is this:
Future quotations should ]truly re-

costs of delivery next, carrying charG-
es and such influences affecting supl
ply and requirement as may be known

Beginning about a month ago the
cotton trade at New Orleans learned
that short crop and large require

ably became a certainty in the minds
of such men as Frank B. Hayne. WI.

Meanwhile, the commercial contract

its advances with greater firmness

SMYRNA SCHOOL DIRECTORS
ELECT SUCCESSOR TO BELTS
PROF. LINNAEUS B. EARHART OF
MT. JOY, PA, is NOW PRINCIPAL
His Election Took Place Wednesday
Evening Following His Visit to
SmYrna-Had Many Applicants

At meeting of the Board of Ed
ucatiOn of the Smyrna Pupblic Schools
Wednesday, Prof. Linnaeus B. Ear
hart, of Mount Joy, Pa, was elected
supervising principal of the Smyrna
High School to succeed Prof. J. M.
Belts, who will not come back this
year. The latter refused to present
his application for reelection on the
plea that he wished to take his wife,
who is in poor health, to d higher al
titude, as we'll as to seek a better
position. The School Board did not
anticipate electing his successor quite
so early, but last Wednesday, Prof.
Earhart made a visit to SIN yrna and
made such a favorable impression on
the members of the School Board,
that his election was put through
unanimously that evening. The
new Principal is a young man, un-
married, with genial and impressive
manner and with high scholarly at
tainments. The Board had wished
for a married man, but after serious
deliberatiOn did not thirk this should
sta nd in the way if the man was
fitted for the position. Prof. Ear
hart is a graduate with the degree
"B. E. " of Elizabethtown College,
Pa, in the English Scientific Course
and also a special course in Latin
and German at the same college.
He has taken three courses at Frank
lin and Marshall College, Lancaster,
Pa, and at the present time is tax
ing a special work at the University
of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Out
side of his splendid educational ad
vantages, Prof. Earhart comes to
Smyrna with four years of actual eX-
/ perience in which he has made good,
as follows: One year in the Rapho
/ Schools, Pa. one year in the Gram
mar Schools and two years in the
schools of Mount Joy, Pa. The last
mentioned school of which he was
! the supervising Principal, there is q
| faculty of ten teachers and a mem.
bership of 400 pupils. Prof. Earhart
will move to Smyrna before the open
ing of the Smyrna Schools which will

bers of the School Faculty were re.

EVANS DAMAGE SUIT AGAIN
Appeal Taken 10 Superior Court Ex-
cites Much Interest in Kent County
Railroad the Defendent.

An appeal was taken in Dover
Monday, to the Supreme Court Of
Delaware, in a famous "railroat
case" Edward W. Evans, widower
of Florence E. Evans, who lost ouI
on non-suit in his action for heavy
damages in Superior Court for the
death Of his wife. who was instantly
killed by the philadelphia
flyer while the train was running
at a speed Of 10 miles an hour. Mrs.
Evans was killed at a Wyoming
grade crossing, which she was walk
ing over, at brisk step. The evi-
dence was that she had looked both
ways, but the train had to round
curve before dashing through WyO-
ing. The court agreed with Lawyers
Biggs and Jones for the railroad com
pany in their citations TO support
the motion for a non-suit, that Mrs
Evans had not exercised the proper
caution, that she did not stop and
look while at a point out of danger.
The appeal is represented by Lawyers
A. NJ. DAILY of Dover, and Sauls-
bury, Ponder and Morris of Whining

is that the Superior Court erred Ia

AWAITING OUTCOME OF
SMYRNA POSTOFFICE SITE
HOUR FOR RECEIVING BIDS
CLOSED 10 O'CLOCK MONDAY
Agent of the Treasury Department Ex-
peCted Here Most Any Day
Only Three Known Bids IN.

The people of Smyrna are now
awaiting the coming the agent of the
Treasury Department of the United
States to look into the matter of a
site for the new S25, 900 Federal
Building which Congress recently
granted. The time for receiving
proposals closed Monday morning at
10 o'clock. The withdrawal Of
John P. Hudson with his basket mill
property left only three known bids:
The Smyrna House site, Main street,
the Reynolds-Phillips- Cats property
corner of Commerce and Market
streets, and the Carr property on
Market street. None of the proposed
sites were as large as the Govern
ment asked for 120 130 feet and
of these only one corner site which
is particularly requested. With the
submission of bids, the matter is
pretty much up in the air and moth
ing will be known until the Govern
ment representative, comes to Smyrna
and looks over the Situation. The
rivalry between the Main and Com
merce street enthusiasts while still
pronounced has not reached a fighting
stage and there is little probability
that it will. The people so far seem
to be willing to leave it to the Gov
ernment agent, but just what he will
recommend is question. With the
Main and Commerce street sites
each around and about the $40, 600
mark, it looks very much as if an
additional appropriation will have to
be asked of next Congress. The
Carr property on Market street comes
more within the limit for building
sites, but this is not so popular be-
cause it is off the two main streets
and is not corner property. Much
curious interest is attached to the
outcome. The Government represen-
tative is expected most any time.

TOMATO CROP LESS A FOURTH
This Seems to be the Report Received
by the Tr;-State Packers.


The Tri-State Packers Associa-
tion, comprising nearly all the can
ners of Delaware, Maryland and New
Jersey, held an important meeting
in Wilmington recently. The pri-
mary purpose of the meeting was to
receive reports of the amount of
canned tomatoes in the hands of pack
ers unsold and the acreage planted
for this years yield. 1t was an
nounced that 75O, COO cases of canned
tomatoes are now held by packers in
the three states, including the guam
tity remaining unsold in some of the
cities. Last year at this time the
amount on hand was more than
!, 1000, 600 cases. The acreage is
about 25 per cent. less tn n last year
in the three states. The reduction
is due to the low prices that pre-
vailed last season.
