Will Hold Campmeeting and Confer
ence From Sept. IA to pa Inclusive
A very unique camp meeting and
conference will convene tomorrow
Thursday, September IA, in John
sons Park, just back of the State
capitol building in Dover, to con-
tinue for ten days until the twenty
fourth of September This will be
the twelfth annual session of the
Chesapeake Conference of Seventh
Day Adventists. body of Sabbath
keeping Christians, of which there
are about six hundred and fifty in
the two States of Maryland and Del
aware, of which the Chesapeake
Conference is composed. Although
these people are few in number, yet
they are making themselves felt in
the world for good. The one thing
that distinguishes them from other
Christians is that they believe in the
perpetual obligation to observe all
of the law of God, and therefore,
they are observers of the seventh
day Sabbath, or Saturday, beginning
>their observance of the day at sun
set Friday night and continuing un-
til sunset on Saturday night. They
also believe Jesus Christ will return
to the earth in this generation and
are of the firm conviction that they
have been called by God to bear to
the world the message of his return.
Their observance of the Sabbath and
their belief in the return of Christ
gives them the name, Seventh Day
Adventists.

INTEREST IN MAINE ELECTION
Report That State Was to Continue
DRY" Causes Much Rejoicing

Much local interest has been man
ifested in the Main election where
the "wet" or '"dry' question has
been an issue. The newspaper re-
ports that Maine had gone "wet"
was most discouraging to our tenn
perance enthusiasts, but this morn
ing there is rejoicing. The change
from an apparent victory for the
"wet" side by 700 votes to 500
votes in favor of the "dry" came
as a big surprise. The Prohibition
lists had practically conceded de-
feat and were already making their
plans to continue their fight. when
the question of the repeal of the
prohi5itory law on the statute books
should come up in Legislature, while
representatives Of those who sought
the repeal of the constitution amend
ment had sent out numerous state
ments on the strength of their ap-
parent safe majority. After a day
of almost constant surprises, during
which time the result was many times
in doubt, it appeared on the face of
returns from town and city clerks in
all except 1876 towns and planta-
tions, that prohibition had won in
the special election of yesterday by
d65 votes.

RUNAWAY AT MIDDLETOWN
Motorcycle Frightened the Horse and
One Man Was Severely Injured

Motorcycle Frightened the Horse and
One Man Was Severely Injured
Sunday afternoon about three
O'Clock as John r. Crouch and Frank
Bradley were driving home from
visit to Port Penn Piers. AS they
neared the Drawyer's Bridge, their
horse became frightened at a tandem
motorcycle and ran away. But for
their combined efforts tugging on
one line the horse would have gone
over a steep bank. Mr.. Crouch
jumped out and received no injury.
Mr.. Bradley remained in the carriage
when the horse began kicking furi-
ously, getting his feet over the dash
board and grazing Mr.. Bradley's
leg. Then it again ran off, throw
ing Mr.. Bradley to the highway,
knocking him senseless for a time,
cutting a cash in his head which
bled profusely and injuring his
arm, back and one foot. A pass
ing automobile came to help, and
he and Mr.. Crouch were taken home.
The accident is attributed by the
victim to the deliberate viciousness
of the young man on the motor
cycle, who, they say, rushed
straight for the horse, then sud-
denly veered away, at the same
time opening the cutoff of the ma
chine. The horse and buggy were
stopped at Odessa with no other
damage than pair of shafts broken.
