his in d M
liable spirit which enabled. the
settlement at jamestown to sur
vive the privations and difficult
ties that encompassed it during
those first years. There in 1907
was made the first permanent
English colony in America. The
charter given by King James
to what was known as the Lon
don company, under whose aus
pices jamestown and the later
Virginia settlements were found
ed, designated that this colony
should extend 200 miles north
and 200 miles south Of Old
Point Comfort and stretch west
ward to the sea. Under the reign
Of Charles II it was considered
such an important colony that it
was called the fourth dominion
Of his empire, that Is, England,
Scotland, Ireland and Virginia.
From this Virginia was often
called the Old Dominion. The
name Virginia itself means the
virgin land and was SO called
after Queen Elizabeth, the "Vir-
gin Queen" The early govern
ment of Virginia is of great in
terest. At first communism was
tried, under which system the
land and all property was owned
in common and all profits were
divided equally. This proved
disastrous failure. In 1919 the /
first real representative govern
ment in the colonies was estab-
lished, called the house of bur-
gesses, which continued in force
under varying fortunes until Vir-
ginia Joined the Union and be-
came the tenth state in 1888.
Much might be written of the

settlers and their great influence

has sprung two other states,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Even so, the states present area
is 42,627 square miles. Politi- !
cally the Old Dominion state is
entitled to twelve presidential
electors. This is about the aver .
age of the southern states.

Was Celebrated Quietly With No Par

Scouts and Firemen Turn Out

Armistice Day was observed quietly
in Smyrna with no particular demon
stration of any kind. The stores and
banks were all open and doing busl-
ness and the schools were closed to
give the teachers an opportunity 20
attend the Institute at Dover. At IL
o'clock there was a ringing of church
bells and blowing of whistles. st.
Peters Church was the only church in
town to hold services. At the noon
hour members of Citizens Hose Com
pany of Smyrna brought the fire en-
CINE out and gave a demonstration at
the -Four Corners" Streams of wa

During the test a fire hose burst near
the water plug and several fremen

there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Friday evening an open meeting was
held at the Twentieth Century Club
House when about twenty members of
the local organization of Boy Scouts

INSANITY PLEA FOR DIVORCE
Interesting Case, The First of It's
Kind, Is Tried At Dover

Mrs. Caroline S. Deveraux in a de-
cision just handed down by the judges
of the Kent County Superior Court has
been granted a decree nisi on her pc
tition for the annullment of her mar
riage to Martin Benson Deveraux, on
the grounds of insanity. While late
State law specifies that insanity may
be grounds for annullment of mar
riage, it is the first case of the kind
tried in the history of the State, and
so far as could be learned from the
authorities there have been very few
such cases in other states. ]. Hall
Anderson was counsel for the petition
er. The court realizing the impor-
tance of the case as a precedent, re-
quired Mr.. Anderson to file lengthy
brief setting out in detail the facts
and all other information that would
bear on this particular case. In con-
Guiding his brief, Mr. Anderson says:
"After an exhaustive search of the au-
thorities, the only case at all in point
which we were able to find is that of
Wilson VS.. Wilson, 104 Miss, BAT, de-
cided in 1913 by the Supreme Court of
that State on appeal from the decision
of the Chancellor. The Mississippi
code of 1906 provides that insanity at
the time of marriage shall be cause
for divorce if complainant did not
know of such infrmity.' We contend
that the undisputed facts in the case
at issue makes out just such a case as
our staute was designed to cover, anc
that it would be virtually impossible
in cases under this statute to prove
more than was proven in this case
We think the facts amply support the
conclusion, first, that the defendant
was on October z, 1908, the date ot
the marriage, afflicted with well-de
fined mental disease, or in other words
was insance, and second, that plain
tiff did not know of the insanity at thu
time of the marriage. The only re
naming question is: Did the plaintiff
Tin other words of our statute) con
firm the marriage subsequent to tn
lunatic regaining reason. This sh
clearly did not do. We therefore con
tend that this case is, on every point
: within the statute and in strict accor'
with the spirit of the statute.

GOOD SPORT REPORTED ON
FIRST DAY CUNNING SEASON
NO UNTOWARD ACCIDENT IN
THIS LOCALITY MAR PLEASURE
Rabbits Said to be More Plentiful,
Bagged in Considerable Numbers
Quail Are Scarce Here

Bright and early yesterday morn
ing, gunners started out for the OPEN
ing of the 1921 season for quail, part
ridge and woodcock, as we'll as rab-
bits. The day dawned bright and
clear following the rainy day of Mon
day and despite the warning, "No
Trespass Signs" the sportsmen were
out in force. From all reports there
is plenty of game in all parts of the
State and the indications are that the
sportsmen will enjoy one of the best
seasons in many years. Rabbits and
quail form the principal diversion of
the huntsmen and these are said to be
unusually plentiful, particularly at a
number of points down State. Sports
men of the lower part of the State had
for sometime been getting their dogs
in shape for the initial hunt. The
quail while not so numerous as in for
mer years, in the lower part of New
Castle county and in the upper part of
Kent county. this section for years has
been well-known as hunting grounds
for these birds. The vicinity of Kirk
wood, St. Georges, Odessa, Middle
town and Smyrna are central points
from which many gunners are oper-
ating. In Sussex county quail is said
to be more numerous still. The rab-
bit sport was great in all parts of the
State on the opening day for the
farmers for some time had been re-
porting many of the elusive Dummies.
The wild fowl shooting season has
been opened since October 16 and the
duck hunters have been reporting gooC
luck for some weeks. This sport i:
found along the Delaware river ant
bay shore, particularly in the marsh!
sections. A number of cunning par
ties have been enjoying duck shooting
in the vicinity of Delaware City an'
New Castle, while several parties hav'
had very good luck in the vicinity o
Bombay Hook. Weather condition
this year are responsible for the ap
pearance of the large number OF rab
bits, for the drought earlier in tn
year, is said by some gunners to hav
resulted in fewer of the young bein
drowned this >year than usual. Th
woodcock, which had been falling oi
rapidly are back in large numbers, bu
even so they will give the gunner
good sport while. they last.

he could find no trace of the would-be
robbers. Recently an attempt was
made to break into the Raymond bum

pied temporarily by Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Thomas. Mr.. Thomas turned on
the light and phoned for Night Watch

quickly and found the screen had been
taken out basement window and
that attempts were made to pry open
a window. Officer Broadway made q
search but could find no clue.

At the meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Fruit Growers National
Bank yesterday morning, Walter w.
Hynson, who had been teller was I'M
animously elected cashier of the Fruit
Growers Bank to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the death of E. Marriott Fow-
Ter. The Board at the same time plo-
NOTED George w. Boehmler from
book-keeper to teller, but left the po-
sition of bookkeeper open until anoth-
Ell time. The promotion of both these
popular officials was we'll earned and
deserved. Mr.. Hynson has filled all
the positions in the bank, from clerk
and bookkeeper up. He is an able,
conscientious official and will make the
bank most excellent cashier. Mr..
Hynson is a son of the late Rev. E. H.
Hynson, of Wilmington NJ. E. Confer
ence and following his graduation
from the University of Delaware in
the class of 1893, he decided on bank
ing as a career and availed himself of
the first vacancy offered him at the
| Fruit Growers Bank. He is now a
banker of recognized ability, not only
in Smyrna but throughout the State,
and is held in high and popular es-
TEEN by all patrons of the bank. He
is an official member of Asbury NJ. E..
| Church, a Mason and member of other
orders and a director. and vice-presi-
dent of the Board Of Education of the

w. Boehmler, the new teller is also
we'll fitted for the new honors that
have come to him. He is a vestryman
at ST.. Peters Church, an active lodge
man and interested in Smyrna's Fire
Company and other enterprises. 1t is
the consensus of opinion that the
Fruit Growers Bank has done wisely
in elevating these two splendid young
men.

Roger L. TOttena, former statisti-
clan for the State Board of Education
who recently eloped with Miss Mar
garet Hill, 19-year-old Sussex county
school teacher and was arrested in
Wilmington Friday, was taken to Do
yer by Sheriff Graham, where on Sat

Magistrate Wood on the charge
preferred against him by his
wife, desertion and non-support, on
which he was held in $500 bail and re-
manded back to Jail in default He
probably will remain in Jail until the
next court. There has been an init
nation that he may, on the next plead

receive sentence to pay his wife a
stated sum regularly, giving security
for failure of performance. Mrs. Tot

Sheriff Graham had some forebodinl
when he received Mr.. Hill, as t,
whether it would be advisable for hin
to meet Totten, but after convincin,
himself that Mr.. Hill had come wit
no intentions of doing violence to Tot

converse, the sheriff remaining il

between the two men, the conclusion
was drawn that Mr.. Hill held no NAL

sympathy for his weakness. Totte
admitted his mistake to Hill and
was accepted as a mistake and errc
