TRYING TO CHANGE NAME OF
ROWLANDVILLE.

The residents of Rowlandville,
lined up in opposing factions, are
waging strife, the one attempting to
change the name of the old town on
the banks of the Octoraro, the other,
clinging to the traditions that sur
round the name of "Rowlandville, !"
bitterly opposing the move of what
it has pleased some to call the car
pet-baggers.
Those favoring the change are the
paper mill interests, the claim being
that the sale of their asbestos and tar
paper products is made ALMOST i'm
possible because concern that had
preceded them made such an in
ferior felt paper that the name
'Rowlandville" is a hoodo, conse-
quently they petitioned the Post
master General to change the. name
to "Moroeto," which was coined
from the name OF the owners of the
mill and the creek upon the bank of
which 1t stands. The name, it is
said was selected by James Buck
elew, superintendent of the P, B..
and w r. r. An order changing
the name was signed by the Post
master General, 1t is said.
When this became known those op-
posed to the move bestirred them
selves and appealed to U. 8. sena-
tor Joseph I. France, of Port De-
pesit, who hurried to the Postoffice
Department and. was instrumental
in holding the matter up. The
paper company with half million
dollar investment clamors for the
change, while the Rowland family,
also representing wealth, stands. for
the old name.

BREACH OF PROMISE
BASIS OF SUIT FILED
IN CREENVlLLE COURT

GREENVILLE, March IA breach
of promise suit involving $1,000 has
been filed here by William Harter,
who named William Cunningham as
the defendant. The trouble grew from
a contract which is alleged to have
been drawn up between the two par
ties for the sale of Harters farm to
the defendant for the sum of $4,000,
which was entered into last November.
Harter alleges that Cunningham
agreed to pay 5000 in cash on the first
of March, and $4,000 when a general
warranty deed was made out and the
farm was to be mortgaged for the bal
ance. When the first of March arrived
the plaintiff alleges that Cunningham
failed to carry out his part of the con-
tract, and therefore, sues for $1,000
damages for breach of promise.
Halderman Sues on Note.
Suit to collect money on two cog
novit notes was brought by Roll Hal
derman, cattle and stock buyer,
against S. S. Lands and o. G. Airey.

due from S. S. Lands in the sum of
$S13.30, with interest from last Sep

secret of his love affair with the doc
tors wife, several years before.
The doctor always had considered
his wife, now dead, almost saint, and
this conviction from the lips of the
dying man causes him months of mis-
cry, which are only ended by the most
unusual and surprising climax. THE

MURRETTE.
Worlds Apart" is the title Of Eu
gene O'Brien's latest Selznick Picture
which the Murrette theatre presents
as its principal photoplay attraction.
l.. There are many reasons to believe
that his production will provide a
more than usually enjoyable evenings
entertainment. The first and princi-
pal one is, of course. the star himself,
and the announcement that in one
series of scenes in this John Lynch
story he appears as Master OF the
Hunt and leaves field of thorough
breds over the famous WarrenOn
Course in Virginia, should be a source
of keen anticipation to the many ad-
mirers of Eugene O'Brien.

Dame Nature gave Miss Greenwood
physical equipment for playing gro

with this she has the ability TO make
people laugh at will. She will be
seen at the Washington theatre, on

former success, $50 Long Letty'D
The play concerns one Lefty, whose
culinary and home-making accomplish
ments have led her family to make her
the goat. None of the other members
Of the family can sew, cook or do any
thing except go into society.
In this new play, Miss Greenwood
has excellent opportunities to portray
her ability as a coincidence, and one of
the hits of the play is Letty's travesty
on those Back to Nature dances,
which have attained popularity among
the high-brow element of today.

That the future OF the world would
he different if the Wilson OF 1919 had
had the strengthened endurance of the
Wilson Of 1918 no one whatever will
deny, and it is only his enemies who
will deny that it would be better
future. What might have BEEN is of
course the least exact of all possible
fields of discussion.
But emitting all that and taking for
one moment such detachment as is
now possible, and merely comparing
Wilson with the other figures of his
time, it is simple fact to say he had
reaches Of imagination and vision that
no others attained.
If his health had endured maybe he
might have carried the world into
those higher reaches with him and Sc
cured it there forever.
