WILMINGTON SHIP and CAR
BUILDERS HAVE MANY ORDERS

With sufficient contracts signed for
ships to keep their shipbuilding depart
ment busy to capacity for the next two
years, and with contracts for steel pas
senger coaches and rolling stock for the
Pennsylvania Railroad, the Central Rail
road of New Jersey, the Philadelphia &
Reading Railway, and the Norfolk &
Western. the Harlan & H0llingsworth
Corporation, of Wilmington, is looking
forward to a continuing season of pros
perity. Unlike much of the rush actiV-
ity in many Eastern plants at the pres
time, not a dollars worth of the busi-
ness represents war orders" As
result of the present orders twelve
ships, ten of which will be over 400 feet
in length, will be added to the American
merchant marine.
The last contract received during the
past week, was from the Ocean Steam
ship Company, of New York, for 440-
foot freight and passenger steamship
The contract provides Tor delivery in
twenty-six months. The corporation is
now negotiating for other contracts, but
cannot specify deliveries in some cases
earlier than in thirty six months
Of the twelve boats Luiig and building
nine are oil tankers, three OF which are
for the Anglo-SaXon Petroleum Com
pany of London, and the remainder for
American oil companies. One of the re-
cent contracts secured from the Stand /
ard OIL Company provides for the CON
structi0n of a tanker AGA feet long The /
three tankers for the Anglo Saxon com |!
pany will be among the first steel ships /
built in American yards for foreign /
ownership. Inasmuch as the ships are .
to engage in the c0astwise trade, it was
that they be constructed in
this country. In addition to the passen-
ger and freight steamship for the Ocean
Company. there is an order on hand for
a coastwise freight steamship, and for a
and freight steel ship for the
Wilson Line, to ply between Wilmington
and Philadelphia

are entertaining, but that is not all you
can say about them. You know the e
is hardly a periodical published that is
not full of time wasting stories, but not
a single story in The Youths Compan-

of c. A. Stephens. 1t would be hard to
pick out one from which you cannot learn
something useful and yet entertaining.
Some of The Companion stories re-
fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chemis
try, some reveal the secrets of forestry
and of general farming. They cover a
wide range. They are chosen with an
eye to the possible likings of every
member of a Companion family stories
of vigorous action and stirring adven-
ture for boys, stories of college life and
domestic vicissitudes for girls, stories
that range all the way from sheer drol-

those in The Companion.

The death angel has once more
invaded our ranks and pluced
from our number.a true and loyal
brother and again brings to US
that sacred admonilion man that
is born of woman is of few DAYS
and full of trouble. The great
architect of the universe has seen
fit in his infinite wisdom for reas-
ons better known to himself than
to us to call our brother James
Hart to that house not built with
hands eternal in the Heaven.
Therefore be it resolved that
in the death of brother Hart the
country has lost one of its best
citizens, the family a devoted
husband and father. We are at
loss to express our sympathy to
the bereaved wife and orphan
children, ever remembering to
point them to Him who has said
Il will temper the wind to. the
shorn lamb and be The widows

That a page of our record be

REPORT OF
GRAND JURY
KNOX CIRCUIT COURT
April Term, 1915.

To the Hon. F. D. Sampson
Judge of the Knox Circuit
Court
We the undersigned Crane
Jurors empaneled for this term Of
the Court beg leave to submit the
following report:
We have made a thorough in
Vestigation of all violations OF
the penal, and criminal law, in.
dieting such persons as we felt,
under the evidence, were guilty.
We have paid special attention
to the violation of the local option
law and carrying concealed weap-
ons: we have also investigated
the violation of the election laws,
bnt we find that the use of whis-
key and money or other things
to influence voters has not to our
knowledge been done within the
confines of this County.
We have visited the Jail and
other public Offices of the County
and find them in a good and sani-
tary condition, and well kept.
We heartily endorse the actions
of Judge Sampson in stamping
out the blind tigers and bringing
all bootleggers TO justice, as well
as stamping out the nefarious
practice of the use of whiskey
and money in elections,
We also endorse Judge Samp-
sons actions in calling a special
term of the Court to be convened
on Monday the 9th day of August
for the purpose of investigating
the way and manner in which
the primary will be held or
August Z, 1919.
And we recommend that saiC
term be called and that a Grand
Jury bs empaneled for the pur'
pose of of investigating the way
and manner in which said election
is held and the use of liquor OF
money to influence voters, so that
Knox County may keep upon the
high plain of citizenship to which
your Honor has. by your untirinl
Efforts has placed it.
We have now completed oul
work for this term and have per
formed that duty without favol
or affection, returning such in
dictments az the law warrants.
Respectfully submitted.
