TOWN ELECTION NEXT MONDAY
Four Candidates Nominated Friday
Night at Special Meeting to Re-
ceive the Names of Candidates

Monday afternoon next, between the
hours of two and five, the annual
municipal election of the town of
Smyrna will take place. Four names
were filed to be candidates to be vot-
ed for. These nominations were made
as provided for by town charter and
were filed with Smyrna Town Council
at a special meeting held Friday ev-
ening. The names of outgoing mem
bers were all placed on the ticket ex-
cept Harry B. Grieves who because of
impaired health, would not run for an
other term. Edward I. Porter and v.
Lay Phillips, two other members of
council, whose terms had just expired,
were put ON the ticket again. Much
regret is felt among the friends of Mr..
Grieves, that the town is to lose his
valuable services. AS President of
Council and as a member, he has been
conservative and faithful to his trust
and had given more years of useful
service than any member of the pres
ent Board. With the exception of a
term or two he had been in continu-
Gus service for the town for a period
Of about twenty-five years. Edward 7.
Porter, secretary of Council, and v.
Lay Phillips, two other outgoing mem
bers, Were renominated. Both have
made good records and both were part
of the organization of one of the most
progressive Councils Smyrna has had
il years. Three other well-known
citizens were put up for Council: NJ
". Ford, John C. Mannering and G.
Reynolds Stevenson. Walter w. Hyn-
son was re-nominated Town Treasur-
er, and Clark NJ. Knots was re-nom-
mated Town Assessor. Both Treasur-
Ell Hynson and Assessor Knots have
made good and since no other candi-
dates We're filed for these Offices they
hold, their denomination is equivalent
to election. Only three Councilmen
can be elected to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the expired terms of Messrs.
Grieves, Porter and Phillips, and
choice must be made from the five
names filed. The contest therefore
promises to be a lively one.

PROSPECT FOR A CORN AND PEA
PACKING FACTORY FOR SMYRNA
MEETING OF FARMERS AND CIT
IZENS CALLED FOR TUESDAY
Site Suggested is on Point of Land at
Intersection of Smyrna Clayton Road
With Old BOmbany Hook Road

A movement for big corn and pea
cannery to be built along the railroad
on the Snyrna-Clayton Boulevard on
a site where the old Bombay Hook
road (Glenwood Avenue), intersects
the Boulevard and joins the Smyrna
Kenton concrete road, is causing con
siderable talk among farmers and
promises to be a reality if a sufficient
acreage and support of farmers can be
relied upon. The movement is spon-
sored by Edward G. Walls, president
of the National Bank of Smyrna, who
has issued a letter to the farmers of
the Smyrna-Clayton community to
meet with a representative of a we'll
known canning concern in Smyrna on
Tuesday morning next, at 10 o'clock,
in the Smyrna Town Hall. Farmers
are urged to attend this meeting and
to come prepared to say how many
acres they will grow. The feeling is,
there is a great opportunity for a corn
and pea packing industry in this com
munity, an industry that will not only
afford profitable outlet for the good
crops of our farmers but one that will
employ home labor and be al asset to
the community. With access by both
concrete road and rail, the spot sug-
gested is looked upon as an ideal site
for an industry of this kind and since
the community has not had such al
industry in our midst, it is felt that it
can be made a packing house worth
while. President Walls and the Bank
Of Smyrna are being praised for their
efforts in the matter and the meeting
next Tuesday will be awaited with
much interest.

FIRE sCAREs 100 OCCUPANTS
Guests of The Howard Hotel, Elkton,
Asked to Leave as Blaze Nears

About 100 guests at the Howard
Hotel, Elkton, Md, were given a scare
when aroused from their slumers at
A. H., Monday as a precaution when
the large storage building, formerly
the livery stable of the late Edward w
Taylor, located in the center of the
business section Of Elkton, and only
few feet in the rear of the hotel and
the Elkton Banking and Trust Com
pany building and across the street
from the Cecil County Court House,
was badly damaged by fire. The fire,
which was a stubborn one, started in
the loft Of the building, owned by J.
Alfred Taylor and used for the stor-
age of automobiles. The blaze was
discovered in time to remove the auto
mobiles from the building. Damage
to the structure is estimated at $4,000.
It is believed the fire was the work Of
fire bug as no sooner was this fire
eXtinguished when another alarm was
sent in that the stable of Edward
Shivery, on Maple street, and only a
short distance from the Elkton High
School was on fire. BY the time they
arrived there, the flames had gained
such headway that the building was
totally destroyed. Loss is estimated
at $1,000. Two horses were burned
in this fire. The alarms of both fires
were said to have been sent in by an
Elkton youth who was said to be
drinking. This has aroused the sus-
picions of the police who are check
ing up on his movements during the
evening.

New One Offered in Legislature Would
Make Jail Sentence with First Offense
Drunken automobiled rivers will go
to Jail for the first offense if bill of
fered IN the House Monday afternoon
by Representative Talley becomes a
lew. The bill differs in several par
ticulars from a bill introduced some
days ago in the Senate by Senator
Downes. The Downes bill also pro
vides for prison sentence for the
first offense, but it gees on to provide
for the offender to BE whipped within
the discretion of the upper court
should he appeal his conviction from
the lower court and the upper court
upholds the decision of the court be-
low. Under the Talley bill the driver
convicted for the first time would be
imprisoned for from ten days to three
months and fined from 800 to $500.
For subsequent offenses he would be
fined not less than 5000 or more than
$1,000, and imprisoned for not less
than three weeks or more than one
year, or both.

the life of Clarence Carlton Jester, 10

Jester, who live on a farm about eight
miles from Milford. Clarence was
drowned in the standpipe that supplies
the town of Milford with water. His
companions had dared him to climb
the ladder to the top of the pipe, which
is about 100 feet in heighth. The boy
took the dare and climbed the steel
ladder up the side of the standpipe.
At the top Clarence fell through the
rusted wire screen, covering the pipe,
into the water and was drowned. Four
hours later his body was recovered by
G. ID. Holzmueller, superintendent of
the fire company, who used bass fish
hook and silken line to locate the
boys body. After the hook had caught
in the lads clothing the water was
turned into the standpipe and forced
the body to the surface The tank
was later drained and flushed. Clar-
ence was playing with Ponder Morgan
and Spencer Willis, both fourteen. The
pipe is about eight feet wide ana mas
small ladder running up the side.
