His numerous friends, including the

record during the past ten years in
contributing his mite both in the

L. M. Shepard Seeking to
Displace E. K. Dewey
as Manager.
CONTRACT NOT EXPIRED
Seizure of The Books BY
Shepard Gets Matter
Into The Courts.

There is a contest in the courts In
volving the management of the City
Light Co. which is owned by
Michigan capitalists.
LIN. Shepard, former manager and
now secretary, is seeking to GUST b.
X. Dewey, manager and vice presi-
dent of the company.
According to a statement given
out by Mr.. Dewey's attorney, the
trouble grows out of Mr.. Shepard's
desire to resume the management.
Until 1908 it is said the financial at
fairs of the company were not in
good shape and it was not a money
maker. The stock was worth very
little, and in order to induce Mr.. E.
X. Dewey to take charge of the
plant and pull it out of the ruts and
put it on business basis, the com
pany made a contract with him ex-
piring in 3 years, whereby he was
given the exclusive control and man
,agement of the plant during said
We with a small salary and an
agreement for fixed percentage OF
the profits. The company was at
loggerheads with many of its pa
irons. Gasoline plants were being
installed, and there was general
dissatisfaction existing when Mr.
Dewey took charge.

to quite handsome sum.
Mr.. Shepard formerly had charge
of the property and was succeeded
by Mr. Dewey. Some days since,

S235, 900, 900. This is probably a
maximum output. but factories in all
the countries mentioned have been
busy Tor about Is years supplying the
demand, and yet horses are more
numerous and just as useful as ever.
The number of horses in this country
has increased to 81, 900, 900, and the
demand for them is such that they
command high prices, their total val
uation being placed at SO, 500, 900, 900.
In Illinois alone it is found that
there are 1900, 900 horses worth

serve order to the best of their abil-
ity and wish to be let alone in the
worship they so much enjoy. The
trouble is with the outsiders, the
lawless, worldly class who congre-
gate on the outside of the camp
grounds to play "crap," drink and
carouse. 1t is this class which
annually causes disturbances and
brings the camp into disrepute. For
this reason there seems to be a
growing sentiment against holding
woods meetings even among the
better class of the colored race, and
has given impetus to a movement
to have the Delaware Legislature
enact law which will prohibit these
camps altogether. There is much
for serious thought and consideration
in a move of this kind despite the
fact that some good is derived from
campmeetings, but when the good
influence and the bad influence are
compared closely, it is a question
whether some other means of wor-
ship would not work better than
these annual woods outings.
Smyrna times., 1910-08-10

We heartily agree with the manly
statement of the Milford Chronicle
which says: eff the political parties
permit the liquor interests to force
the question of resubmlssion upon
them at the approaching election
they will be greater fools than we
believe the leaders capable of rising
to. We unhesitatingly say that it
will be a mistake for any temporiz-
ing with the liquor interests in
either Kent or Sussex counties, and
the party making the attempt, will
meet ignominious defeat. The gen.
eral conditions of the entire territory
where prohibition has been in force,
is so much better, that we challenge
any contradiction or citation of facts
to the contrary. Liquor is sold i'll
legally, in these counties to a small
extent, but the peace and comfort of
the general public is a thousand fold
more to be preferred than under the
old saloon system, and the people
of Delaware will resent any attempt
to force men upon them, who would
vote for a resumbmission of the
question at the present time. Dem
ocrats may urge the nomination and
even encourage such nominations by
promises of support in republican
districts, and the same policy may
be practiced in democratic districts
by republicans, but at the polls the
people will see that mon of this
kind are defeated, even though a
man of opposite political opinions
would have to be elected to accom-
plish this purpose, and we believe
they would be justified in so doing.
The leaders have had ample warning
along this line, and it will be well
for them to heed the voice of the
people. Let the liquor question rest.
Those who want liquor are getting
all they need now under local option
and the young boys growing to early
manhood are not forming habits
which would make drunkards in after
life under the present conditions. -
