RETURNED FROM THE WAR.--Cap-
tain Fred Becker, one of our old citi-
zens, and prominent officer of the 9th
Regiment, under Col. Solomon, return
ed home from the war on Sunday last,
having resigned his position in the
army. The captain is in poor health,
but is gaining rapidly. The 9th is now
stationed among the Indians at Fort
Scott, in one of the Indian territories,
and the Regiment has had no oppor-
tunity to distinguish itself. Much i'll
feeling exists among the officers and
men against the government for send
ing them out of the world, instead of
allowing them to join Sigel, as was
promised when they volunteered.

COUNCIL FAVoRs STONE ROAD
Will do It's Part Toward the Smyrna-
Clayton Boulevard After the Kent
County Court Decides

Smyrna Town Council in regular
session last Friday evening gave
over much time to a discussion of
the proposed stone road between
Smyrna and Clayton. Mr.. ].
Herbert Sitter, son-in-law of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph L. Beckett of this
town, a contracting engineer of
Philadelphia, who with others is
after the contract, was given the
moor. He stated to the Board he
had submitted his bid to President
James T. Truax, of the Kent County
Levy Court which he said would
probably be taken up for considera-
tlon at the next meeting of said
Levy Court which will be Tuesday
next, Sept. 8. With the funds ap-
propriated for road use of Duck
Creek Hundred, MIR. Truax proposed
TO Dulld stone road 10 feet wide
OF inch macadam, upon the con-
dition that Smyrna and Clayton Join
up to said road at their town limits.
Mr.. Sitter was piled with a num-
Der of questions as to the con-
struction of the road, especially
that part which had tn do with
Smyrna. 1t was approximately
estimated that the expense to
Smyrna would be about $500.
There were only four members of
Council present-President Samuel
j. Reynolds, and Councilmen, H.
b. Grleves, Joseph H. Wright and
James H. Roberts. All these ex-
pressed their willingness to do what
they could to further the good
work but decided to wait the action
of the Kent County Levy Court in
the matter before ordering a survey
and giving out the contract to Join
up with proposed county road.
Clayton, it is said. has practically
decided upon the same course.
After next Tuesday, the matter will
be brought to a focus and when Mr..
Truax reports the Levy Courts de-
cision, Smyrna Council will be
ready to meet and determine what
1t will do. The plan is to have the
road constructed before winter.
After reports from the Light and
Water committee and the Street
Committee, Council adjourned.
Bills including monthly salaries to
the amount of $567. 69 were allowed.

In addition, the members of the sub-

of Colonel Roosevelt throughout tile
state expressed disgust at the action
OF the Progressive party's State
Committee, in deciding to put in the
field State ticket that will be
Independent of any other political
party. 1t is known there was op-
position in the State Committee to
the Independent ticket plan, but
the old Addicks leaders down the
State along with Senator Drexler
and Robert G. Houston got through
their resolution providing for sep
arate State ticket. 1t also became
known that the vote on putting an
independent ticket in the field in
the Progressive State Committee
was for and against it. DR..
Caleb r. Layton led the forces for
a separate ticket. Theodore B.
Rogers of near New Castle, and
Thomas L. Fouracre, of Middle

ticket, it was learned. 1t also
was reported Irving Warner voted
against it. He was out of the city
today. A. A. Wilmont and S.

State ticket. Sentiment generally
among Wilmington Progressives is
for chance to vote for Roosevelt
electors and the Republican State
ticket. AS a result OF the dissat-

sives it was said that they will file
a ticket made up of the Roosevelt
electors to be chosen at the Pro-

William Hudson, an employee of

was attacked by a swarm of bees
and only got away with his life
after a hard fight. Hudson had
started out of his home when he
was suddenly struck on the head a

small stones. The man was almost
stunned and regular hail of blows
fell upon him. Upon recovering
he found that he was surrounded
by swarm of bees, which buzzing
angrily, began to settle upon him.
Striking right and left the man
rushed down the yard and finally got
out of the path they were making
from a small hole in the doorsill
of his home where they had hived.

FIRE SWEEPS GARRISON'S
FARM OF OUTBUILDINGS
BIG FIRE ON THE FARM OF GIL
BERT GARRISON, CHESWOLD
All the OutbuiIdings and Contents Were
Burned and Dwelling of Gilbert Gar
rison Was Saved by Heroic Effort.

Cheswold, August 27.-Fire of
unknown origin completely wiped
out the outbuildings of Gilbert
Garrison Saturday night at his
home farm two and a half miles
from this place. The loss will
reach upwards of several thousand
dollars. In the big barn which was
destroyed was about 80 tons of hay
and nearly eight hundred bushels of
wheat which he had but recently
threshed. A lot of harness, tools
and a drill were also licked up bv
the flames. The fire was discover
ed about $50 O'Clock by Mr.. Garri-
sons five year old son. The for
mer was reading a newspaper on
his front porch when the lad rushed
to his father to tell him the barn
was on fire. By the time Mr.
Garrison had reached the burning
structure it was found useless to
try to save any of the out buildings.
Efforts were directed at SAVING
the house only a short distance
from the barn. The wind was
blowing in the direction of the house
and had it not been shielded by
two big shade trees, it too would
have fell a prey to the flames.
Several times the house caught fire
but Mr.. Garrison with the aid of his
farm help, neighbors and friends.
who formed a bucket brigade, were
able to save the dwelling. The
furniture was all moved out and time
was given to secure nearly every
thing of value, but fortunately after
much heroic effort and persistent
fighting the dwelling was saved.
The flames from the burning out.
buildings shot high in the heavens
and attracted people for miles around
who rushed to the scene in auto
mobiles, carriages, and every con-
veyance at hand. 1t is understood
the loss, which is heavy, was
partially covered by insurance. The
live stock was all saved. Gilbert
Garrison is the only son of Former
Representative Gamaliel Garrison
of KentOn Hundred and since he
took the farm near Cheswold,
has become one of the Industrious.
substantial and thrifty young men
of his neighborhOod. There is much
sympathy expressed for him and
his wife in the loss they have
sustained. 1t is understood they
will begin to build as som as the
insurance losses are adjusted.
