CENTENARY MOVEMENT TALK
Rev. f. c. KebOch and Others Spoke
on Plans to Raise sos, 100000.

Smyrna ministers and laymen we're
among the fully two hundred Metho
dist clergymen and laymen who met
in Dover Thursday in Wesley M. E.
Church to discuss and plan for the
campaign drive of S1O5,0O0,0O0 Cen
tenary Fund of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church. Dover, Easton and Will
mington Districts of the Wilmington
M. E. Conference were represented.
Bishop Mcdowell, who was expected
to address the assembly, was pre-
vented from attending because of an
engagement with a Chinese delega-
ton ION other matters pertaining to
the church. Plans for the Centenary
movement were discussed by Rev.
Morris E. Swartz, executive secretary
of the Washington Area, who pre-
sided and conducted part of the dis
cussion! Rev. E. C. Keboch, repre-
senting the Sunday School interests
of the Centenary, spoke of what
that part of the church had and is
doing toward the boosting of the
movement. He pointed out that in
the past the Sunday School had been
a most important factor in all church
movements and that it would not fail
at this particular time. At the af-
ter noon session, Rev. Swartz, of
Washington, and J. T. Stone, of Bal
timore, the latter president of the
Maryland Casualty Co., urged the
greatest interest in the movement by
Methodists, pointing out the fact that
one important part of the money to
be raised is to aid backward churches.

INSTITUTE MEETS IN SMYRNA
Teachers of Domestic Sciences Course
Meet at High School Annex-Miss
Ethel Grieves Praised For Work.

On Saturday, April 26, under the
supervision of the State Director of
Domestic Science teaching, Miss S. H.
Bridges, the regular institute meet
ing of the teachers of that subject,
was held at the Smyrna Vocational
School building, in the rooms of the
Domestic Science Department of the
school. The holding of the institute
here may be considered direct COM
pliment to the public-spirited action
of the board in the matter of provid-
ing equipment and facilities for both
departments of the school, and to the
work of the teacher, Miss Grieves, in
planning for and arranging the equip
ment of her department as one pur-
pose of holding the conference here
was inspection and demonstration of
the equipment provided for the work
in the local school. Those present,
beside Miss Bridges and Miss Grieves,
were Miss Rash, of the Caesar Rod
ney School (Camden-Wyoming), Miss
Brown, of the Dover School, and Miss
Williams, a graduate student of
WOmen's College, at Delaware State
College. Two other vocational teachers
were prevented by illness from at
tending. Luncheon was served by
girls from Miss Grieves' classes to
the delegates, to Miss Maxwell, of
this place, as a representative of the
High School faculty, and to Rev
Thomas Getz Hill as a representative
of the School Board, to give them an
opportunity of meeting some of those
engaged in vocational teaching OF
Domestic Science, elsewhere in this
State. An interesting and helpful ses-
sion was enjoyed by those who at
tended, as was the inspection of the
equipment and work of both depart
ments. In this connection it is de-
sired to extend cordial invitation tt
residents of Smyrna and vicinity who
are interested in the work of eithel
department to visit the school, at any
time, and familiarize themselves with
its work.

SMYRNA BOYS GIVE TIMELY AID
r. Y. Wallen, Jr. and William c. Hur-
lock Help Injured MOtOrcyclists
On Way From Delaware City.

About midnight Thursday as Will
liam c.. Hurlock and Robert Y. Wal
len, Jr., were on their way home from
Delaware City to Smyrna in an auto
mobile they appeared at Clark's Cor
ner just in time to be of service. AS
they turned the corner they saw
ahead of them a man waving his
hands. Thinking it might be a hold
up they hesitated for an instant, but
soon stopped their car and went back.
There they found William Oakes, who
was more or less covered with dirt
and blood. He told them that he and
Thomas Neeff, while turning the cor
ner on a motorcycle Skidded and
went into the ditch. Neeff was found
to be unconscious and Hurlock and
Waller took the two men in their au-
tOmObile and went to the hospital at
Fort DUPONT, where they were treated.
Neeff was bruised about the head and
Oakes was cut on the face and head.
Oakes is now confined to his home
in Delaware City, but Neeff was able
to be about next day. Both young
men had returned recently from
France, where Oakes was a despatch
bearer in the army. 1t was fortunate
that the Smyrna men came along
when they did. There were very few
people on the road that night and the
temperature was low. The motorists
were unable to get away without
help.

KENT COUNTY COURT CASES
Smyrna Divorce Case Stopped By
ComprOmise-Acquitted of Charge

VI CAeAA
Dover, April 24.1In the Kent cOun-
ty Court of General Sessions We'd
nesday, Wendall Shockley, who had
been indicted for larceny of watch
from Mr.. Melvin, with whom he
worked, was tried by a jury and ac
quilted. In a non-support case of
State VS.. Floyd Ransom, after re-
peated efforts of counsel for the State
and defendant to get the parties to
agree to a settlement, the case was
called for trial and a jury drawn.
The case had not progressed fafther
than hearing the first State witness,
Mrs. Ransom,- wife of the defendant,
when at the suggestion of Judge
Boyce, another effort was made to
compromise affairs, that was done,
Ransom agreeing to pay his wife
SO a week, with the hope of a re-
union before the next term of court.
The jury was withdrawn from the
box and the case continued till the
july term. Because of practically a
compromise in the homicide case
scheduled for next Wednesday, April
80, that of Isaac Gaddus, colored, who
murdered a companion in February
last, near Magnolia, the panel Of jury
men summoned to appear at Dover on
April 80, was ordered not to appear
The case will be settled without tria
by a jury. Walter Smith, white
boy, who was before the court in Oc-
tober last, charged with driving of
a horse without the consent of the
owner and had been paroled to his
parents, but had broken his parole

Market street, Wilmington, had his
automobile stolen from in front of
his residence, Sunday evening, at 8.2O
o'clock, and in less than an hour
it was recovered by the Chester, Pa,
police. The quick catch is due to the
rapid team work beteween DR.. Dar-
rah, the local and Chester police. The
former as soon as he learned that his
car had been taken, telephoned the
police, giving the license number,
1889, and the information that a man
and woman were seen driving away
in the machine. The couple were ap-
pretended and were brought back to
Wilmington with the car early Mon

FRUIT BUT SLIGHTLY DAMAGED
Reports, However, Indicate That a
Good Part Of 1t Had Escaped.


Reports coming in from over the
State of Delaware, and from nearby
sections in Pennsylvania, Maryland
and New Jersey, indicate that the
cold weather did some damage to the
fruit crop, but it is not believed that
it will be as heavy as was at first
feared. In some sections the high
winds prevented frosts, and in other
sections the fruit was so far devel-
oped that it was able to withstand
the cold. But the extent of the dam
age done by the unreasonable cold
will not be known for several days.
Fruit growers are now busy overlook
ing their trees, and making investiga-
tions as to the extent of the damage.
1t is not believed that late fruit suf-
fered to any extent. Unless there is
a continuation of the cold weather or
a recurrence, which is not looked for,
the prospects for the late crop are
said to be good. 1t is reported that
no damage was done to early vege-
tables, except in some instances
where early asparagus was nipped.

of the existence in these States of
number of laws bearing upon this
subject, the United States law and the
rules of regulation of railroad and
other administrators the subject is
one of vital Importance to all far
mers and no doubt the meeting will
be largely attended. Everybody who
is interested is invited to attend and
