After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
ton Of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
of repair and maintenance of roads
is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor.
1t is expected that the competition
will bring about a better under
standing Of the subject Of repair
and maintenance i'll the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living III the ru-
raj districts have experienced the
disadvantages Of roads made inn
passable through lack Of competi-
ton will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads
have prevented many children from
obtaining a proper education and
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients
in time to save their lives.
Amy child between the ages men
toned, attending country school,
may compete. Only one side Of
the paper must be written on each
page should be numbered the
name and location of the school
which he or she is attending must
be plainly written at the top Of the
first page. The announcement of
the competition has been sent to the
superintendent OF schools III the
rural districts. No further inform
alton can be obtained from the Of
fee of Public Roads. This an
nouncement should be plain to
everyone, and all children will thus
start on basis Of equality.

The Fruit Crop
In Delaware

Everybody is ''in the air" over
the big peninsula fruit crop for
1913. SO are the frosts, almost
nightly, through the worst April
cold snap experienced for years.
The general belief is that, where
no orchard fires or smudgcs"
could be burned, particularly Sun
day and Monday midnight, April
g and 7, peaches are ruined-the
early varieties at least.
Apples seem to have Jared better
than all other tree fruits and nearly
all agree that they are but slightly
hurt.
The half million baskets of
peaches that were expected this
year from the peninsula. to bring
in 100000. are very probably gone
up i'll frost.
DR.. w. s. Maxwell Of Still Pond.
Md, says the fruit prospects are
still fine in Kent County, Maryland
A carload OF oil for the 2,200
orchard stoves used Oh the Chan
dler farm, a short distance from
Milton, has arrived, and is used,
the weather having become cold
enough to damage the peach or
chard, which is said to be the most
extensive in Sussex county.
There was great apprehension
through the early part Of the week
over the fate of peaches and all
other tree fruit, but particularly
the former throughout the PENN
sula. The fruit had become well
advanced when the bitter cold of
Sunday and Monday swept through
the orchards. Sunday night s tenn
perature got down just about to the
freezing point and it is now believ-
ed that many peaches, very large
part of the crop, will drop off as a
result.
Monday night was particularly
threatening to apples, and while it
injured the apple crop somewhat, ii
is believed the apple crop generally
though too well advanced to stand
many freezes, weathered the storm
and is safe.
The effect on other tree fruits
and smaller fruit cannot yet be es,
timated, but it is thought to be
slight.
President Gilbert j. Meredith OF
the Produce Exchange is very hope,
full that the damage all around was
not serious, but other fruit grow
ers do not share in his optimism
and some declare much fruit vii
drop off.

Penn-Mar League
Plans For Season

The second meeting Of represen-
tatives from the teams of the Penn
Mar Base Ball League was held
last Saturday evening in Lovett's
Hall. President G. A. Short pre-
sided and every one is very much
pleased over the good fortune of
having secured so able an official.
The main object of the meeting
was for the purpose of completing
some unfinished business which was
left over from the first meeting.
This consisted principally in
amending and adopting constitu-
ton and bylaws. A committee of
three, composed Of Messrs. Black
son, Zebley and Holton, was ap-
pointed to make out a schedule for
the approval of the league.
j. r. Blackson, of Appleton, Md.
who was elected secretary and
treasurer of the league, seems i'll
every way, to be the right man for
the position. He is very energetic
and takes the keenest interest in
the affairs of the organization.
From the managers present Sat
urday night. good reports were
made as to the condition Of their re-
spective clubs. Of the reports
heard the local club seems to have
the advantage over the rest. The
Newark management claims to
have thirty-two men who will an
swer to the first call for practice.
Among the number there are some
fast ones who promise some team
for Newark. Last year the local
team was as good as there was Ill
the league but on account of loose
management did not amount to
much during the latter part of the
season. This year practically the
same material will be on hand UNI
less some of the new material dis
places the older men.
The following officers were elect
ed for the Field Club:
President, Charles Ii. Davis;
secretary and treasurer, r. f. Daw-
son; manager, f. f. Dawson; cap
tain, pro TEN, r. Dawson.
A meeting Of the Field Club will
be held in Lovett's s Hall on Satur-

General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church

- For the first time in nearly a
quarter of century the General
Convention Of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church in this country is to
be held in New York City. This
will be the forth-third triennial
convention. 1t will open on We'd
nesday. October s, 1913, and will

ical deputies and four lay deputies,
and Missionary districts choose one
clerical and one lay deputy, to the
General Convention. Upon the

hundred and ten bishops, and six
hundred deputies, equally divided

ty-eight dioceses, twenty-three mis-
sionary districts, and ten foreign
Jurisdictions Of the Church.
The Convention sits at two
houses, the House of Bishops and
the House of Deputies, each having
veto upon the other. It's primary
object is to make laws for the gov
ernment of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church III this country, to
some extent in the form of consti-
tutional provisions requiring action
by two successive conventions, but
generally III the terminology of ec-
cIesiastical laws known as canons.
In the House Of Deputies there
are fourteen standing committees
appointed by the presidential
ways a clergyman-subJect to the
limitation that each Of the eight
missionary departments into which
the Church within the United
States is distributed must be rep
resented. Besides the fourteen
standing committees, there are
thirty-four Joint committees and
commissions of the two houses sit
ting between conventions, eight of
which were appointed to consider
ecclesiastical relations and activi-
ties with other communions, reli-
gions and peoples; six to revise the
Church s services of prayer and
praise and visitation; four to pro-
vide for the education of the
clergy; four others to look after
the better care and support of the
clergy; one to provide for them an
ultimate court of appeals; one to
report upon the question of pro-
vinces; five for the Church s mis-
sions of help-to the seamen, the
blind, the deaf, and the foreign
born; and, finally, the Social Ser
vice Commission.

SHERIFF OuTRAN PRISONER
Marcus Johnson Went Through Train
Window, So Did Lib Hart,
and Hart Won

Sheriff Lib Hart had an unusual ex-
perience in Denison as he was bring
ing two prisoners from Dallas Sat-
urday night.
He had arrested Marcus Johnson in
Dallas, wanted here for embezzlement,
and Cleve Harris, wanted on whis-
key charge, was also picked up. When
the party arrived in Denison, Johnson
wanted to get a shave and the hand
cuffs were removed from his wrists,
and while off he extracted screw so
the handouts could not be locked, so
the sheriff took a chance with his man
and boarding the train, started for
Durant, but they had not gone over
one hundred yards from the depot,
when Johnson jumped through the
car window. No sooner had he gone,
than Sheriff Hart went through the
same place, and they both landed
running. After running his prisoner
about quarter of mile, LIB over
took and captured him. He carried
his man back into Denison and came
to Durant the next morning.
Cleve Harris came to Durant and
after being around town for while,
gave himself up to the jailer.
Marcus Johnson is accused OF TAX
ing a pair of mules to Muskogee and
selling them, and keeping the money.
He lives in the south part of this
county.

CONTEST SCHOOL ELECTION
East Siders, Who Pay Least and Ben.
eft Most, Want to Stop Extra
One Mill Levy

It became known Monday that q
number of citizens of the east side
had raised a sufficient sum OF money
and had employed State Senator J
T. Mcintosh to protest against the
making OF the special one mill levy
as voted by the citizens OF Durant on
last Thursday. While Mr.. Mcintosh
refused to divulge the names of those
who employed him, he admitted that
he had been employed and that when
the school board went to certify the
levy to the tax assessor he would file
his protests, and attempt to stop the
levy being made.
The election will be contested on
the ground that thirty per cent Of
the qualified voters of the school dis
trict did not participate in the said
election.
The school board VIII certify the
levy to the tax assessor at once, and
the legal battle will begin as to
whether or not the one mill levy that
the people voted last Thursday will be
allowed.

Bledsoe shot his pistol into the air.

worse. Tom Tabor, a deputy sheriff,
and Deputy Terry from Caddo came
into the Jail yard, and when Tom
went to the Jail door to talk to the
men. he was greeted with a bucket
or water in the face, at which he
threatened to shoot several of them,
but was greeted with jeers and he

went near the doors or windows was
treated in the same manner, and the
prisoners threatened to crack with a

side the door. and that act could have
been accomplished in the darkness

Other measures falling, County At
