Senator Smith Improving.

The many friends of Senator John
Walter Smith were very much alarmed
at the reports of his illness which APP
peared in the Baltimore afternoon
papers last Monday. Therefore they
were correspondingly elated to learn
from the morning papers of Tuesday
that he is improving rapidly. The fol-
lowing from the Sun is good news to all
of us:
Omitted States Senator John Walter
Smith, who has been i'll for over week
at Haddon Hall. Atlantic City, was re-
ported yesterday to be improving steadi-
ly. He spent much of the day out Of
doors.
Speaking to a correspondent Of his
condition, the Senator said: While |
have been confined to my bed for a
week, no symptoms of serious kind
have been noticed.
Ten days ago the Senator undertook
to make the round trip from Atlantic
City to Washington the same day, in
order to keep an important engagement
with some of his constituents before a
Senate committee. He was greatly
fatigued by the trip and exposure to
cold and rain, and this was the immedi-
ate cause Of the present trouble. which
is complicated by condition of nervous
ness, due to long over-exertion and
anxiety because of the illness and death
Of Mrs. Smith.
His daughter, Mrs. Arthur ID. foster.
with his two little grandsons, are always
with him. and from time to time Col.
Arthur d. Foster. Gen. Francis Z.
Waters and Mr.. Samuel X. Dennis have
been with him.
Senator Smith physicians and friends
are not alarmed regarding his illness,
which they believe is of temporary
nature, but he will be unable to resume
his active duties at Washington for
several weeks, as he must have rest and
quiet"

The Town Election.

As we go to press this morning tFri-
day. the ticket for Mayor and Council
to be elected next Monday has not been
named. 1t is generally conceded that
Mr.. Corddry will run for Mayor. Messrs.
William c. Powell and Charles Clarke
decline to run for Council and ii is not
safe to predict who will be candidates.
There has been a great deal of talk
about the election and great many un-
kind things have been said and done.
All of which had best be forgotten and
our people should remember that our
citizens are honest and trustworthy and
the safe plan is to believe that any man
who unjustly impugns their honesty is
a bad man.

SNOW HILL FELT
EARTHQUAKE
Last Saturday Morning Three
Shocks Were Felt by Nearly
All the People.

Three earthquake shocks were felt by
the people Of Snow Hill last Saturday
morning at 6.45 o'clock. The shockc
were about sixty seconds apart. The
houses trembled and doors were ratified
hard enough in some instances to
awaken people from their morning
slumbers, and cause them to hasten to
the door to answer what was supposed
to be the vigorous announcement Of
someone outside that they desired to
arouse the household. Many persons
did not realize what had happened till
they began exchanging experiences with
their neighbors latter in the day,
One person had been out of bed few
minutes when the windows commenced
to rattle in his room and the sound came
from below as if someone was trying to
shake down the kitchen door. He
thought it was the cook arriving early
without key and she was trying to
make her presence known. He yelled
uOWu All EiBut III Svtiiihb DSAoic
he could get down stairs there was more
rafting and banging. No one was at
that door. He turned to the front of
the house and as he reached the front
door the house trembled again and the
windows and doors ratified harder than
ever. As he opened the door the truth
dawned upon him and he realized that
Snow Hill had been visited by an earth
quake. Many other persons had the
same experiences that he had and
went through the same performance.
The shock was felt at Atlantic City,
N. j., Baltimore County. Md. and at
other places. but the shocks were not
near as vigorous as the ones expert
enced here.
At noon on the Wednesday previous
slight was felt in Snow Hill. Many
persons thought it was the Atlantic
feet at target practice.

"Cat Swamp Grows Famous.

Cat swamp is on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. Exactly where it is, nobody
knows. II is one of the geographical
and Typographical mysteries of that
border State. That is because no one
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
wishes to admit he lives in Cat Swamp.
Even when the more euphonious name
Pussy's Meadow is applied to the swamp
no one can be found who will admit the
soft impeachment that he lives in the
tract. Tip had heard so much about
Cat Swamp in his visits on the Eastern
Shore years ago that he decided to see
IL for himself and to endeavor to fix its
boundaries. The best information he
could obtain at that outset was that it
was in Cecil County, between Newark,
Del, and Elkton. Md. That looked
easy. He went there. "No, this farm
is not in Cat Swamp. the first farmer
he Intercepted said. but think that
next farm is in it all right" He went
to the next farm, and the next. and so
on until he was good and tired of look
ing for Cat Swamp. 1t always was a
farm beyond. He has no doubt that if
he had continued his quest it would have
led him through Cecil, Kent. Queen
Anne, Caroline, Talbot. Dorchester,
Wicomico. Somerset and Worcester
Counties and that the last farmer in
Worcester would have pointed across
the border into Virginia and said, 1T is
that low piece of land over there in
Accomae County. ~. Y Press.

Mr.. TOADVIN
is NOW JUDGE
Governor Appoints A WicOmico
Man To Succeed Judge
Holland.

Governor Crothers announced Tues
day the appointment of former State
Senator L. Stanley Toadvin. of Wicom-
leo county, as Associate Judge for the
First Judicial Circuit, to succeed Judge
Charles F. Holland, who was retired by
the Legislature.
With the selection of Mr.. Toadvin an
interesting contest for this appointment
is ended. The leading candidates for
the place were Mr.. Toadvin and Mr..
Harry l.. d. Stanford, of Somerset coun-
ty. Both were indorsed by leading
lawyers of their respective counties, as
well as of the circuit. Judge Holland
strongly indorsed Mr. Toadvin.
One of the principal arguments made
by the people Of Wicomico county in
behalf of Mr.. Toadvin was that the
county was entitled to the judgeship for
at least the remainder of Judge Hol-
lands term. 1t is one of the largest
and wealthiest counties in the circuit,
and its court docket is always heavy.
Salisbury, the county seat, is the largest
town on the Shore. Mr.. Toadvin, it
was argued. is eminently qualified to
serve on the bench, although Mr.. STAN
ford. who is law partner of former
Congressman Joshua w. Miles, is also
regarded as one of the leading lawyers
on the Eastern Shore.
The appointment is for the remainder
of the term expiring in November. 1911.
when a new judge will be elected for a
full term Of 10 years.
Because Of his age It's believed that
Mr.. Toadvin will not be candidate for
election. He is said to be about 60 years
old, and will be about 65 years old at
the expiration of his appointment. If
elected, he would only have five years
Of his term to serve when he would
reach the age limit and would retire.
1t is expected that the Democrats will
nominate a judicial candidate who will
be able to serve full term before reach
ing the age limit.
Under the conditions it is believed
that Mr.. Stanford will be a candidate in
the next judicial primaries, and it is
probable that the Democrats of Wicom-
leo county may present some other can
didate. In this connection the name of
States Attorney. Joseph L. Bailey, of
Wicomico county, is suggested. Mr..
Toadvin was Endorsed by lawyers of the
Wicomico county bar.
Mr.. Toadvin, who is graduate of
Princeton University. is one of the best
known lawyers in the State. For eight
years he represented his county in the
State Senate. Prior to that he had tax
en- an active part in Democratic politics
in his county and held several minor
offices. He served as Land Commits
sioner during the administrations Of
former Governors Smith and Warfeld

Declares The Republicans
Are Doomed.

In speech in Indianapolis last week
in reply to the toast, Democratic OPP
portunity." at the Jefferson Birthday
banquet of the Indiana Democracy,
Congressman William Sulzer. of New
York, declared that the success of the
Democracy is assured.
Democratic opportunity is at hand, "
said the speaker; 1.-THE Republican
party has failed to redeem its promises;
it has disappointed the people, it has
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting; its tenure of official life is
short; on every issue today it is in the
minority.
The Republican party stands for
tariff taxation that makes living a
struggle for existence. for subsidies
that rob the many for the few, for
economic heresies that paralyzc in
dustrial freedom, for Capitalization in
government at Washington that destroys
the sovereignty OF the States, for
political usurpations that subvert the
Constitution. for reckless extravaganza
that is little less than criminal, for
political policies that create monopoly
and enslave the masses, for special
legislation that trampes under foot the
right of man, and for a restrictive
military in our insular possessions that
violates the basic principle of the
Declaration of independence.
1.-The Republican party no longer has
a single honest issue it dares to present
to the country in the interest. of the
people. The fingers of greed and graft
have erased every motto from its BAN
ners its army of supporters is dis
heartened and split in factions 1t is
going to pieces from the bitterness en-
gendered by the jealousies of its leaders;
il is rotting away with the cancer Of
corruption it is disintegrating from
corroding decrepitude it has seen its
best day, and it all means, in the near
future, overwhelming Republican defeat
and triumphant Democratic victory.
History is merely repeating itself. Read
the pages of the past.
IL bring glad tidings from the Empire
State. New York will surely go Demo-
cratic in the coming election. tits the
pivotal State of the Union, and its place
again in the Democratic column means
the election of Democratic Senator in
Congress next year. and Democratic
President in 1912. There is no doubt
about New York. The revelations there
speak for themselves. The decent Re-
publicans are disgusted II is a political
axiom that without New York State
the Republicans cannot win, and this
means a Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives and the beginning Of the end
of Republican misrule. Republican cor
ruption and Republican mal-adminis-
tration-a and is it not about time
Take il all in all. it has spent more
Of the taxpayers money and given the
people less TO show for il than any other
political party in all the history of our
existence.
