MAY ELECT RECTOR THIS WEEK
ST. Peters Vestry Seriously Consider
ing Rev. F. w. r. Arthurs of New
York, Successor to Rev. .Holmead

st. Peters Vestry will hold
special meeting some evening this
week, perhaps tomorrow night, when
they will probably extend call to
Rev. Frances Wellington Ross Ar
thurs recently senior assistant of
Calvary Church, New York City, to
become rector Of St. Peters Church,
Smyrna, as successor to Rev Charles
Henry Holmead who resigned to be-
come curate of St. Johns Church,
Wilmington. Rev. Arthurs visited
this Parish over Sunday and filled
the pulpit at all services. He made
most favorable impression and
preached two excellent sermons.
During his stay in Smyrna he was a
guest of Mr.. and Mrs Murray Stew
art and his genial, kindly bearing
and his free easy manner, made him
popular with all who met him. On
the other hand Rev. Arthurs liked
the town and the people he met. He
seemed especially pleased with the
church and the rectory. 1t is under
stood that MIR. Arthurs is endorsed
for Smyrna rectorship by Bishop
Kinsman who gives him a high testi
monial. Mr.. Arthurs was a pupil of
the General Theological Seminary of
New York City when the Bishop was
a member of the Faculty Of that in.
stitution and the two became good
friends. Rev. Arthurs was recently
senior assistant at Calvary Church,
New York City, a church with 100
communicates. There are three as
sistants besides the rector in this big
church. 1t is stated that Mr.. Ar
thurs has two calls under considera-
j tion, one in Baltimore and the other
in Philadelphia. He likes Smyrna,
however. and has indicated his pref.
erence for a country town over that
of large city. AS many in Smyrna
are favorable to him, he has decided
to withhold his acceptance of any
other calls until the Vestry can hole
meeting this week

Claims Invention of Great Speed
John W. Thompson, of No. 21O5
West Sixth Street, Wilmington,
claims to have worked out plans for
an airship which he thinks would be
superior to any that has ever been
built so far. He has not gotten out
any patents, but says he will as soon
as possible. He says his aeroplane
will be 35 by 65 feet and will be
driven by four 100 horsepower mo-
tors. The speed, he says, will be
from 100 to $50 miles an hour and it
would go anywhere from 500 to 1, 900
miles in a flight. The machine would
weigh probably 5000 pounds. The
machine would weigh probably 5000
