DOver's New Opera House

Quite a number of Smyrna folks,
especially those owning autos, are
taking in the fine bills being rendered
at the New Dover Opera House. Visits
to this beautiful theatre undoubtedly
the prettiest theatre south of Will
mingtOn, is comparable only to the
big city amusement places. The
sweet tones Of the pipe organ, the re-
fining effect of the decorations as well
as the screen productions are salts
flying to the taste and leave a splendid
impression. Dover is less than a half
hours run from Smyrna over a fine
concrete road all the way and when
you think of being admitted to this
beautiful theatre at the popular prices
of 10, 20 and 80 cents, it is a trip
ever worth while. See advertisement
in another column.

EIoquence.

'Eloquence" is literally and ETY..
mologically the power or faculty
Of speaking up" The word is made
up Of the Latin words EEK" or "e."
out of, and "rquor" to speak.
The man or wa..an who possesses
eloquence is presumed to have the
ability to "SPeaE out" in meeting OF
in caucus or in re board of directors.
in way to maEc her or himself un-
derstOod.
Yet a change has come ovor the pre-
else meanins of 'eloquence' in the
last generation or TWO. Elofuence in
the old daf- implied. if it did not
actually require rounded periods,
narid utterance and perhaps passion
ate gestures.
The eloquent speaker Of today IS the
speaker who substitutes argument for
ioridity, sense for passionate gesture

DISEASE TERRORS PASSING
Theory Advanced That Germ Species
May Die Out as Did Mammoths
and Dinosaurs.

Is it not likely, speaking as a lay
man and without medical erudition
that germ species originate, grow to
maturity, then pass on to senility and
die out, like so many families of crea-
lures have done on this earth? The
last Methuselahs of certain diseases
may now be moving on to oblivion. Did
not the mammoths and the dinosaurs
rise, flourish and disappear? Then why
not the microscopic terrOrs that men
ace mankind?
Yellow fever is passing beyond the
horizon. 1t is waving its last saffron
farewell to us. Soon it will be history
only, its battles with humanity, its mas
.sacres, as remote as those of Semiram-
is or the BabylOnian kings. Finding no
place to lay its fatal finger, it will give
up the ghost.
Typhoid, dislOdged from its last
country well and village drains, has be-
come a fugitive, pursued by health
boards who lombard it with serums
and germicides. 1t is in full flight. It
cannot pause anywhere to organize
the smallest epidemic. The seed of 1t
will perish from the earth.

NEWARK POsTOFFICE RACE

John p. Armstrong, Former Represen-
tative, in Lead to Succeed L.K. Bowen
Much interest is being centered in
the fight for postmaster of Newark to
succeed Postmaster Levi X. Bowen.
The term of Mr.. Bowen who has held
the Office for eight years will expire
early in March. 1t is said that there
are now four applicants for the post
mastership with prospects of others
getting in the field before the ap-
pointment is made. Those who, it is
said, have filed applications are: John
P. Armstrong, a former member of
the Legislature; William H. Evans,
who also served two terms in the
State Legislature; Gilpin r. Bucking-
ham, local merchant, and Charles w.
COlmery, member of town council.
While there has been talk for some
years of a new pOstoffice for Newark
there seems to be no indication that
this improvement will come soon. The
lease on the present building on Acad-
emy street used as a postofiice, it is
said, will expire soon and the govern
ment, in a short time, will either Sc
sure new quarters for the postOffice
or release the present building.

Poetry as It Is Lived.

In his Human Traits and Their So
cial Significance" Irwin Edman
writes:
Men may first have come to speak
poetry accidentally, for language
arose, like other human habits. as a
thing of use. But the charming and
delightful expression of feelings and
ideas came to be cherished in them
selves, so that what was first an acct
dent in mans life has become a de-
liberate practice.
'When this creation of beautiful OBJ
jects, or the beautiful expression Of
feelings or ideas is intentional, we call
it art.
in such intentional creation and
cherishing Of the beautiful. mans life
becomes enriched and emancipated.
He learns not only to live, but to live
beautifully"
The first poem may have been an
accident, as Mr.. Edman suggests. but
more than one number in the latest
lot can be reckoned among catastro
phies.

WHERE ALL THE SUGAR GOES
Bakers and Makers of Candy and
Soft Drinks Use Vast
Amounts of II.

Not more than half Of the sugar we
Americans consume is used In our
homes. The rest goes into manufac-
tured products. The estimates Of the
quantities used in manufacture run
this way:
Our candy makers alone use more
than $4,000 tons, and 10000 tons
more go to sweeten up chocolates and
ice creams.
Every year the bakers dip into the
national sugar bowl for well over 45,-
600 tons for bread, $4,000 tons for
crackers and 10000 tons goes every
year into frOstings and odds and ends
in the bakeries.
Fourteen thousand or more soft
drink makers hit the nations sugar
bin for at least 10000 tons for their
cOncOctiOns and another 100000 tons
goes into condensed milk.
Twenty thousand tons of sugar is
chewed up each year in gum; and less
aesthetic jaws worked on another
1900 tons that goes into the nations
"eatln' tobacco" this not including
about 5000 tons that goes to smoking
tObaccOs.
The country's pill and potion bill
dispOses of about 5000 tons Of sugar
each year, and the corner druggist
uses an unknown quantity in filling
what the doctor ordered.
Even sticky fly paper and roach,
ant and rat killers draw from the
sugar supply to the tune Of hundreds
OF tons
And nobody knows how much has
gone into bootleg and home-brew.-

EXPERIMENT IN SUICIDE
 LEADS ID WEIRD MURDER

BUDAPEST, July 2-Because the owner of Somogy castle was seized by a morbid desire to experience the sen- sations of a man being hanged, he lost his life and his aged servant became his murderer.
 One day Bella Marffy, Hungarian junker was found dead in his study, a rope around his neck and two heavy weights tied to the end of the rope The coroner's verdict was suicide but the family, which knew Marffy to be intensely fond of life, declined to ac- cept it. Their suspicious rested upon the servant, who finally confessed that he in fact was the murderer, though no thought had been further removed from his mind a few minutes previous ly.
 Marffy, it developed, had read an ac- count the day before of boy who had hanged himself. Curious to know how man feels just before he is about to
  expire, he arranged that his servant was to stand near him while he tied a moose, at the end of which were two weights, about his neck. The servant was to lift up the weights, thereby re- lieving the pressure, at the moment it seemed to him that his master was about to expire, unless relieved.
 The servant declared that while he was awaiting this moment, his eyes fell upon his masters purse on the table filled with bills of high denomi- nation. Instead of relieving Marffy the servant allowed him to die and then possessed himself of the money.
