Jones Sustained
 As Administrator of Parsons Estate

The petition of Sadie Vogel for the removal of John B. Jones of Devon, as administrator of the estate of Geo. W. Parsons, was denied by Judge Miller in decision handed down in the probate court yesterday. The estate is estimated at $4,OO0. Mrs. Voge1. who is a daughter of the de- ceased. claimed that Jones failed to inventory a personal note for $1,0OO due the estate from him and also that he neglected to sell 109 shares in the Home Construction Go. while there was a good market for the shares.
 Nellie A. Parsons, now deceased, was bondsman for MT. Jones. She leaves all her estate to a minor child The judge orders that Jones get a new bondsman at once to give surety for $3,500. He does not believe there is sufficient ground for the re- novaI of the administrator but hints that Mrs. VogeI may, by civil action, attempt to- conserve more money for the estate.

STOCK MARKET

New York. Feb. 26-Opening- Aside from some strength in the metal group and a. few speciaIties, initial quotations in today's stock market were without substantial change from yesterdays final figures. Rails were <variab1y higher, except Canadian Pacific, Northern Pacific <and Chesapeake & Ohio. Marine preferred, Crucfble, Pacific Mail and Industrial Alcohol receded moderate fractions Among the obscure Issues WI11es was prominent for it's decline at 3 points. American Lo- cornotive was strongest of the equip ment group, rising 1 3-4 points U. s. Steel was inclined to waver.
 Closing-Such widely divergent stocks as Reading and American Loconotive were the leaders of today's dull and irregular market, each scoring a two point advance, while coppers and a few specialties were disposed to hard en. Rails also preserved some sem bTance of firmness but steady selling of the war issues and the petroleums as well as Marine preferred, D. s. Steel and a few other active stocks soon wiped out all gains. In fact, some leading shares repeated or fell under. lowest prices of the mid-week. Support was again lacking, leaving free field for the trading element The closing was weak. Bonds were steady. @

Large Crowd Turns Out at Smyrna

The Smyrna Opera House held a
fine crowd Monday evening to hear
our fellow townsman Hon. l.. Irving
Handy, and Democratic candidate for
Attorney General, Armon D. Chaytor,
Jr discuss the issues Of the cam
paign. The meeting was the second
one held under the auspices of the
Wilson and Marshall Club of Duck
Greek Hundred. Ayres j. Stockly,
president of the club, presided. Music
was furnished by piano. The stage
was tastily decorated with flags.
bunting and pictures of national and
state candidates. Mr.. Chaytor was
the first speaker. He dwelt at some
length on abe duties of the office of
attorney-general, giving his views of
a proper enforcement of the law, with
the idea of making better citizens of
offenders, as we'll as to administer
justice. Mr.. Chaytor highly compli-
mented the administration of Kent
county affairs by the Democratic Levy
Court and referred to the great need
of reform in the county government
of New Castle. He classed Kent
county's Levy Court as standing GA
No. l, 100 per cent pure. ;" Mr..
Chaytor then referred to the State
and National candidates. giving them
strong endorsement.

Hon. L. Irving Handy referred to
bygone days, saying he had spoken to
small and large audiences in the

ence was one of the best ever gotten
together in Smyrna. He paid high
compliment to Mr.. Chaytor. He re-
ferred to his deep interest in politics
and in good government and declared
he would always be interested in his
party, which stood for good govern
ment and good laws, the best of all
parties. Referring to President Will
son, Mr.. Handy declared that during
his administration he had all kinds of
trouble, sickness, death, etc., and
with it all he had borne a great bur-
den manfully. He has stood in a
world of fire, but has come out un-
tarnished, unblemished. He has
kept US in perfect peace, and we put
our trust in him.

The voters of wet territory in Mary
land will pass on the saloon question
at the next general election. BY ac-
tion of the last session of the legisla-
ture the vote will be by units, the
larger cities voting separately as
separate units. This is regarded as
a distinct advantage for the liquor
forces, as experience in practically
every state shows that farmers and
rural residents almost invariably roll
up the big "drv' majorities. Per-
haps most of the smaller cities that
have gone dry were first assisted in
voting out the saloons by the rural
vote of the county. 1t is a compli-
ment to the acknowledged standards
of the rural people when the liquor
forces make a long and expensive
fight to bar the farmers vote on the
saloon question. The Maryland count
les that have no large cities are ex-
pected to go dry at the coming elec-
tion. but the cities h@ve a hard cam.
paign before them. In Baltimore the
anti-saloon people are making ar
active, vigorous campaign based upor
a calm, dispassionate presentation OF
facts. Many have declared against
all appeals to prejudice and are max
ing their stand on the business, econo

This plan of campaign, if closely fol-

to strengthen the cause of temperance

way TO future victory even if it does
not gain the desired results in the

While the people of the United States
have been sending thirty million dol
lars worth of relief to Europe and
Turkey, two hundred thousand wo-
men and children in Albania have died
of starvation. While each woman and
child in Belgium has had plenty to eat,
women and children in Albania have
gnawed at the carcasses of dead horses
in the street. William Willard How
ard, of New York, who has returned
from his third trip to this hunger zone
of Europr, predicts that the entire pO.
pulation of Albania will die of famine
and pestilence unless helped. He says
that in Albania corn is fifty dollars
bushel, flour eighty dollars a sack, and
macaroni five dollars pound.
"The tragedy of Albania" says Mr..
Howard, sis that a nation is dying of
hunger, while the people of the United
States, laden with gifts for the rest of
Europe and for Turkey, pass by on the
other side. Thirty millions of dollars
have been given by the people of the
United States for relief work of various
kinds in Belgium, Poland, Armenia,
Syria and the warning countries of
Europe, while two hundred thousand
women and childred in Southeastern
Europe have starved unheeded and
uncared for. Not one woman or child
has died of hunger in Belgium; two
hundred thousand in Albania. Is il
fair-is it human-that the innocent
women and children of Albania, who
never did anyone any harm, should be
trampled under foot and left to perish,
at time when all others are fed?
"The Albanians are as much entitled
to sympathy and help as others. They
have not takan part in the war. They
fed and sheltered the refugees from
Servia, even with tie last measure O
corn that the famine-smitten villages
possessed They have not done any
wrong; yet armies have swept owe
their country, taking what could b,
found to take, leaving to the starving
women and children only carcasses o
dead horses in the street."

men in New York-mostly clergyme
and editors of newspapers-will CO
