Held at White Clay Creek Near New
ark Monday Afternoon


Rev. J. M. L. Eckard, of Smyrna,
the new stated clerk, went to White i
Clay Creek Church Monday morning
to attend an adjourned session of the !
New Castle Presbytery. There were
addresses by Rev. u. Franklin Smiley,
of Wilmington, and Frank c. Middle
ton, of Washington, ID. c., and others.
Sunday was incidentally the 200th an
niversary of White Clay Creek Church
and special program was given in
celebration thereof. The address of
the occasion was given by Rev. Joseph
Brown Turner, of Port Deposit, his
subject being, 'The Flood of Years"
Rev. ]. Watkins Lacy, moderator, pre-
sided over the Presbytery. The Pres
bytery passed on the examination of
the Rev. L. McMasters, who is to be-
come pastor of Elsmere Church. He
was licensed to preach and will be or
dained at the same time that he in
stalled as pastor at Elsmere. Rev.
John McElmoyle, of Elkton, Md, who,
by decision of the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly, was recently ordered
deposed as pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in that town, was dismissed
from the Presbytery of New Castle,
Monday, at his own request, to unite
with the Presbytery of Baltimore.
DIR. McElmoyle was not present at the
meeting personally, but made the re-
quest for dismissal in writing SO that
he can join the Presbytery of Balti-
more. A presbyterial committee will
be appointed to take the oversight of
the Elkton church until such time as
a new pastor is named. DIR. McEl-
moyle recently resigned as pastor at
| Elkton. 1t was announced that Rev.
Mr.. Stats, who was admitted to the
Presbytery about year ago, has ac-
copied a call to Ocean View, Sussex
county, and will soon be installed. Rev.
Mr.. Tibbett was placed under the di-
rection of the Home Mission commit
tee as temporary supply at Odessa
Church. Rev. Fred Matthews was
dismissed to the Presbytery of West
Jersey in order that he might accept
call to the Second Presbyterian
Church, Camden, N. j., of which Rev.
U. Franklin Smiley, of Wilmington,
was formerly pastor. Mr.. Matthews
has been doing evangelistic work.

Easton, (Md.) has passed an ordi-
nance effective June 1, that the Ches-
apeake & Potomac Telephone Com
pany which uses its streets and con-
ducts very extensive business in that
town shall bear its just share of tax
alton. The telephone company has
rejected the ordinance and asks for
another conference, but Easton Town
Council stands pat and refuses to
dicker. As 'Easton views the matter
the telephone company is conducting a
very extensive business there without
paying its just share of taxation. The
company refused to place a value on
its property when asked by the town
authorities for tax purposes. 1t is en-
joying the privileges that no other
concern in Easton does, and for that
reason it should receive no more con-
sideration than other business con-
Germs do. The stand of the Council in
declining any further conference is
meeting the full approval of the citi-
zens of Easton. And rightly So
Smyrna is having like situation with
its telephone company. 1t is, true
Smyrna is using in some cases the
telephone company poles to run the
town electric light wires, condition
that should not be. Smyrna should be
Independent Of the telephone company
and the latter should in turn bear it:
share of taxation the same as any
other concern doing business in Smyr
ma. AS it is they get a considerable
amount of money out of our town bu+
pay nothing for a franchise or theit
| pole line.

Pont and former Senator Willard
Salisbury as the actual animating in
fluences behind the remarkable publ
city barrage directed at Governor |
Denney has had just the effect that |
might have been anticipated" says
the Wilmington Sunday Star.
''The belief that these two men were |
the sources from which most of the
objection and criticism flowed, was
made certainty when the newspapers
which voice their wishes and opinions
discussed the judiciary appointments,
and when examination was made of
the affiliations of those who were most
active in bitter denunciation of the
Governor and Senator.
Except from those under the con-
troll of Mr.. Salisbury and Mr.. DUPONT
there has been almost total cessation
of the baseless charges so freely made
in certain quarters when Governor
Denney announced his proposed ap-
pointment of Senator Wolcott as
Chancellor.
at has now become known, through
Judge Gray's interview that Senator
Wolcott, with a careful regard for the
propriety of every step which he
might take, consulted the first citizen
of Delaware and obtained an opinion
matured by age and experience and
sensitive in the highest degree to- the
right or the wrong of every act. This
opinion was that there was no impro-
priety in Senator Wolcott's resigning
for the purpose of accepting the Chan
cellorship if it should be rendered to
him. There is no single opinion eth
er in Delaware or in the United
States that should carry such weight
and conviction to the minds of men as
the opinion of Judge Gray. This
opinion of itself is sufficient to settle
the right or the wrong of the matter
for every Delawarean.
at has now come to our knowledge,
however, that the question was consid-
cred and discussed by many of Sena-
tor Wolcott's colleagues on the Demo.
cratic side of the United States Sen.
ate. 1t is reported that Senator King
states that he discussed the matter
with most of the Democrat Senators
and that there was no question RAISED
in the minds of any as to the pro
priety of Senator Wolcott's action
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, is also re
ported as saying that there could b.
no question properly raised regarding
the matter. 1t is said that Senate
Pomerence points out a similar situa
ton that arose last January when
Democratic Senator was appointed t
Office that would call for his resigna
ton and the appointment of Repub
hcan as his successor by the Republi
can Governor of Western State, an
that when this was discussed the Dem

Lyndonville played Barton on

noon. and Barre was here Labor
Day for two games, forenoon and
afternoon, the home team winning
I'll three games.
The game with Barton Saturday
which promised to be close and IN

innings. Lyndonville piled up 8
runs in the fourth, on combina-
ton of errors and six hits, one OF
them a three Dagger by Gaudette,
making the score 8 to 0, and the
game one sided. Lyndonvillc con-
tributed a peculiar inning in the
sixth when Barton scored three
runs without making base hit.
Il was the least exciting of any OF
the games played with Barton this
season.

Backache of Women

The back is often called the
handspring of a woman's life.
What can she do, where can she
go, so long as that deadly backache
saps every particle of her strength
and ambition? She cannot walk.
she cannot stand, her homework is
a burden, or the long hours behind
the counter, in the office or factory
are crushing. She is miserable
The cause is many times some de-
rangement of her system, and
backache is a common symptom.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is a reliable remedy for
backache, as for more than forty
years it has been relieving women
of America from the ailments
which often cause it.-Advertise-
ment.
