REV. ROBERT WATT GIVES
WARNING TO SPEAKEASIES
PRAISES EFFORTS OF LAW AND
ORDER SOCIETY IN SERMON
Asbury Church Well Filled Sunday
Evening to Hear Second Chapter
of the Smyrna Speakeasies.

After brief review of his sermon
on the Smyrna speakies of some
months ago when these viOlatOrs of
the Local Option lawwere made to
understand that continued violations of
that law would be followed by de-
lection and punishment, the article
that appeared in the Times of last
Wednesday signed by the President
of the Law and Order Society was
read and endorsed Sunday evening by
Rev. DR.. Robert Watt, D. D., pas
tor of Asbury M. E. Church. The
church was well-filled and the vigor-
Gus remarks of DR.. Watt were listened
to with interest. In his remarks he
reiterated the warnings to those who
are tampering with the law, that
punishment would surely follow it's
/ violation, for the friends of good
order and law do not intend that it
shall be any more respectable or safer
to trample the Local Option law under
foot than it is to rob hen roosts.
The subjoined putting of the case
from the Wilmington Evening Journal
is so pat that it is subjoined in full :
GAS a result of the prosecution of
persons charged with keeping speak
easies in Kent county. several citi-
zens have been sent to the workbOuse
for months. Hereafter it will: be
dangerous for persons to violate the
prohibitory law in that county. II
may be said for those who forced the
prosecution that they were reluctant
to take the step which has resulted
in sending the speakeasy keepers tC
prison. The Law and Order officials
of Kent gave the suspected persons re
peated and frequent warnings tina
they would be prosecuted, but no at
tentiOn was paid to the warnings ant
the convicted persons have no one t.
blame but themselves. They seemed
+ to have an idea that keeping a speak
, easy, that selling liquor in violation
. of the law was an offense that
would be difficult to convict perso
of, but these persons should remem
ber that the sentiment in Kent count
is strong for prohibition and tn
; majority at the election was larg
for the "drys." Those persons there
fore who violate the law and openl
outrage the public sentiment of
; community must be prepared to tax
the consequences. The trials IN tn
/; Kent county court show that tn
: people of that county are determine
that the law against speakeasies sha
!; be enforced.

Teams of Charles David and Watson
White Accidentally Collide Sunday.
While the teams of Charles David
and Watson White were coming in
opposite directions on Main street
Sunday evening, David and his lady
companion were thrown out and his
team damaged by colliding in front
of the residence of J. Frank Webb.
fortunately no one was hurt and out
side of the breaking of the shaft and
the bending of the axle on David'S
team, no serious damage was done
The point where the collision hap
pened is one of the darkest places
in the square. Serious accidents
have been narrowly averted in the
past by reason Of the insuficiency of
proper street lighting and Council
may be appealed to to place an in
candescent lamp there.

TOWNSEND MEN IN TROUBLE
lacked up For Fishing With a Net
In Noxontown MilIpond in Viola
ton of the State Law.

Townsend, March Is. 5.-Charged
with violating the game laws by
fishing with a net when only hook
and line were permitted, ElwOod
Davis and Simon Lope, of near
Townsend, were arraigned Thursday
afternoon before Magistrate Alton
C. Pyle, in Wilmington. Both
pleaded guilty and each was fined
SIS. 90 and costs. The case is of un-
usual interest to spOrtsmen through,
out the State and has attracted
much attention. The men were ar
rested by County Constable L. c.
Jones, who also served warrants upon
Thomas Scaggs and John Rittenhouse,
also of Townsend, who are charged
with the same violation of law.
The last two named were to have
been arraigned Thur sday, but they
could not appear owing to illness, so
their cases were continued until Mon
day. In addition to these four arrests
it is understood warrants have been
issued for eighteen other men who
reside in this section, and that they
will be served in a few days. All
the cases are the result of net fishing;
in Noxortown mill pond. near Mid
dletown. This is one of the best
places in tie State for hook and line
fishing. The water is held in place
by dam, which makes it lake and
therefore nets are not allowed under
the State laws. Recently this dam
broke so that the pond was converted
into a stream and tide water. Under
these conditions it is said the men
believed nets were permissible.
