STONE ROAD WINs FRIENDS.

From the Smyrna Times.
The movement in favor Of a stone
road between Smyrna and Clayton is
meeting with hearty endorsement
everywhere. Residents and patrons
Of both towns look upon it as an inn
portant connecting link, one that
should have been brought about
years ago. Now that our represent
alive in the Kent County Levy Court
has taken an active interest in the
matter, it seems almost assured that
something will be done toward ex-
pending the appropriation soon after
the Levy Court meeting on Septem-
Der Sd. Smyrna Town Council, in
session Friday evening, practically
agreed to join up to the town limits
with macadam road as soon as they
learned what Mr. Truax was going
to do. Clayton, is is understood, will
also fall in line and take care of its
end of the project. Much talk is had
concerning the movement and every
effort to boost the thing along aud
give the road construction an early
start, is being done by the business
men of both towns. Let us hope
that before winter sets in the
Smyrna-Clayton stone road will be
a reality.

William ]. Florence in his rooms at
the old Delavan House In Albany, N.
Y. Mr.. Florence was at that time at
the height of his reputation as an
actor. He had long been regarded one
of the leading American comedians
He was skillful In felicitous portrayal
of quaint and eccentric characters
He was sometimes thought to be
without a superior as a depictor Of
rollicking Irish characters. In the
last years of Mr. Florence's life he
was associated with Joseph Jefferson
The tours which he and Jefferson
made for four or five years were f.
nancially very successful. Il was
while he was on a tour in 1891 that
Mr.. Florence was stricken with pneu-
monia, an Illness which proved fatal
At the time of my chat with Mr..
Florence he was making a tour in an
American play which increased his
fame and brought him very hand

this play was "The Mighty Dollar q"

can stand up and prosecute crimi-
mails with that clear look in the eye
of the man who has done his duty all
along, and expects and requires the
same of others. With juries he
holds that unseen power which a
man Of the world, full OF worlds ex-
cuses and the worlds earmarks and
greed for his clients money, does
not have.
In fact we might ask frankly:
What characteristic for the attorney
generalship is there that Joe VOL
colt does not have at this time? A
lawyer who has done the bulk of the
work Of Encouragement for four
years, certainly in his county. A
well-bred man, a college man. a
young man, and with all that. a work
ing man, for his father was taken
from him when a slip of a boy and
he taught school for a living and to
get his start in the struggle for self
support. A man who has mingled
with the people all over the State
and seems to have even by rare
general acquaintanceship, fitted him
self for every requirement for the
office.
His record in securing convictions,
even in capital cases, before juries
and his record in the Godwn. Barr.

unsurpassed in the career of a pros

will say that the only thing against
