many sources yet to be heard from
and the final total may be close to
$350,000. The closing dinner was
held in the duBarry room of the Hotel

eral hundred workers and leaders in
the campaign. H.Rodney Sharp, chair
man for Wilmington presided and Rev.

HARRINGTON LAD KILLED
Charge From Gun Carried By Walter
Draper. Lodges in His Side

While out hunting Sunday, Nelson
Reed, 25 years of age a farmer, of
Wyoming, was accidentally shot and
killed by his companion, Walter Drap-
er, of Harrington. The young men,
who married sisters, went to the farm
of their father-in-law, Benjamin Happ
near Harrington, for the purpose of
trying their hunting dogs and after
arriving there decided to take guns
along. About o'clock they were
passing through a heavy growth of
woodland. Draper was walking ahead
feeling his way, with his shotgun rest
ing on his shoulder. He was followed
by Reed toward whom the muzzle of
Draper's gun was pointed. In some
unknown manner, the shell in ORA
per's weapon was exploded and the
full load of shot struck Reed, pene-
trating the lower part of his abdomen
on the left side. He was Immediately
taken to the Milford Hospital but lived
only two hours. The gun Draper was
carrying was a number 10 gauge and
and loaded heavily. 1t is believed
that the hammer trip was Jared, re-
leasing the hammer which fell and ex-
plOded the shell. Mr.. Reed has been
married several years but had no chill

Occupants of the Car Thrown Out
But Their Injuries Were Slight

P. ]. Henehan, Smyrna's well-known
tailor was killed and Messrs. c. c.
Griffith of the Highway Engineering
and Construction Co., building the
road from Walkers to Deakyneville)
and Irving Scott were more or less
injured in an auto accident up the
state road near Smyrna at four o'clock
this morning. The three men in Grif-
fiths Buick roadster were returning
from Wilmington where they had been
attending a Halloween celebration
and were keeping up lively clip ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour. Above
H. D. Hartman's farm they ran into
a barrell of tar which was there for
use of the road men in repairing the
road. The Buick roadster turned a
complete turtle" throwing Griffith
and Scott out and pinning Henehan
under the car. The latter whose
chest was crushed in, arms broken
and face mangled, died almost in
stantly. DR.. Deakyne and DR.. Mes
sick were summoned but to no avail.
Scott whose injuries were slight was
/ taken to the home of his parents "The
Avon" on Market Street and DIR. Dea-
/ kyne took Mr.. Griffith to the home of
his brother-in-law in Dover. To-day
Mr.. Griffith was taken to the Easton
(Md) Hospital. His home is at Ok
ford, Md. Mr.. Griffith is time-keeper
for the Highway Engineering and
Construction Company and had been
spending much of his time in Smyrna
the past several months while work
was in progress on the concrete road
in Thoroughfare Neck. 1t appears the
barrell of tar, the direct cause of the
accident, had been swung to the mid
die of the road, possibly by Hallow-
cen jokers. This should be brought
out and an investigation ordered tC

charges of hunting ducks after sunset.
Thomas F. Blockson, Federal game

dollar each. The remaining six hunt
ers then came forward to enter similar
pleas. The judge, in imposing the
fines, said: 81 am imposing the mini
mum fine as reprimand. You must

SMYRNA HOST TO CHANGERS
Large Delegation Here Thursday
Were Entertained by Local Grange

Pomona Grange of Kent, met with
the Smyrna and Rural grange in
Smyrna, last Thursday and an inter-
esting meeting was had In front of
the Club House where the meeting
was held, both sides of the street were
lined with cars. An interesting pro-
gram was presented with the main ad-
dress by Dean C. A. McCue of the
school of agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Delaware. Several important
resolutions were adopted, including
one opposing the increase of license
charges on farm product carrying
trucks. The resolutions follow: Where
as, transportation by trucks of farm
products, due to increased freight
charges is essential, Therefore, Be it
resolved that we oppose and will re-
sent any effort to increase license
charges or any other form of taxa
tion on farm product carrying trucks.
Whereas, Delaware is practically the
only State without an existing condi-
tion demanding a public service COM
mission, Therefore, Be it resolved that
we insist on the coming legislature
creating a public service commission,
and ask that the legislative committee
of the State Grange prepare a bill to
this end and submit it to the State
Farm Bureau for their cooperation
and support, Whereas, Safety de-
mands that all precaution should be
taken on the highways, Therefore, Be
it resolved that we heartily approve
of the dividing line in the center of
the improved highways, and ask that
it be placed on all now in existence,
and be made a specific item in the con-
struction of all future highway con-
tracts. Whereas, The high develop
ment of horticultural and agricultural
interests of the State has brought, as
usual, the attendant scores of diseases
and insects that are developing and
will continue developing in all orch
ards, and, Whereas, The time of COM
batting these troubles is in conjunc-
tion with cultural methods-pruning,
etc. Therefore, be it resolved that we
ask that a specific amount of the ap-
preparation to the University of Del
aware be designated to employ res
ident scientific man in lines of path
ology and entomology under the di-
rection of Dean McCue of the Univer-
sity of Delaware to assist him in the
determination of the time to cultivate
prune, spray, and generally manage
our orchards and vineyards, and There.
fore, be it further resolved, that this
scientific man maintain a laboratory
for the incubation of all ready known
disease and insects, and instruct the
growers when to combat them, ant
conduct research work for the appear.
ance of the new enemies.
