In America debts are run up with
shameful aIacrity by people who
know full we'll they will not be able
20 meet them-run up, too, not al
ways for necessities, but often for
luxuries, for things that could be
done without, for baubles or pleas
ures.

Not to pay a debt is akin to steal
ing. You keep what belongs to an
other, And bv so acting you may
force your victim to become a deIin-

Two Arrests Made and One Witness
Held at Seaford.
Assisted by town officials Deputy
United States Marshall C. V. Mitch
ell, of Wilmington, raided the Social
Club at Bridgeville Friday afternoon
and arrested the alleged officers,
Harry Willin and James Riley, who
were taken to Wilmington for pre-
liminary hearings. A confessed
member" of the club, Charles Gray,
was held as a witness. The officers
are also working in and around Mil
ford, securing the names of liquor re-
ceiving patrons at the express Office,
with a view to arrests.
Beer clubs in Sussex couny are 60
ing out of style since the arrest of a
number of prominent men by Federal
authorities, charging them with being
the proprietors of such places, in Sea-
ford. All through the county where
similar clubs have been in operation
the members are disbanding and the
places are being closed. In Milford,
Saturday, the members of one of the
cubs arrived at their favorite rem
devious to find a sign nailed up, no
tifying all members that the club had
disbanded. The club was composed
mostly of farmers who only get into
town on Saturday afternoons, and,
undeterred by the fears of the former
club organizers, they at once formed
another club and arranged to have
each member order his own beer in
the future and simply use the club
house as a place of storage.

SMYRNA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
Annual Election Held ThursdaY.-John
C. StockIy Retires From the Pres

At the annual stockholders meeting
of the Smyrna Library Association
last Thursday, Wilson T. Cavender
was elected president; Charles D.
Stockly, e-president; Clarence B.
Raymond secretary; Eugene Davis,
corresponding secretary; Hervey P.
Hall, treasurer. John c. Stockly
who had been president of the Asso-
citation continuously for the past ten
years, a member since its organiza-
tion in 1858 and an officer much of
the time since he was first elected
president in 1865, declined on ac-
count of failing health and other
duties, to serve again. The annouce-
ment was received with regret by the
members present who were lOathe to
see one who had given so many years
of conscientious and valuable services,
relinquish his hold. His wishes,
however, were granted and Wilson T.
Cavender was elected in his stead.
Retiring President Stockly, before
vacating office, submitted the follow
ing report: "The citizens of Smyrna
should appreciate the existence of the
Public Library among them, not only
for its pleasure and convenience, but
for its advertising value, as feature
of our town. To those who have
given their assistance and patronage
by contributions of money or of books
the Board tenders their earnest thanks.
1t has been pleasure to supply their
wants as far as practicable. The
members of the Board and the
Librarian have by their uniform kind
ness and readiness to respond to calls
for their aid, earned cordial acknowl.
