GLENDALE
The Free Sumner

ing on the evening of October 16
was more than a success. 1t is said
that more people were gathered in
Z Ellendale on this particular night
than was ever seen there before.
Some would call it n political
Injecting but it was simply social
gathering where Democrats and Re-
, ,publicans mixed together and had a
grand good time.
; The supper given by John s. Hal
lett and other nominees on the
! Democratic ticket was fine. The
imem consisted of roast beef sand
wiches, potato salad, cheese,
pickles and coffee. (that was more
gthan good topped off with plate
of ice cream, made a meal more
: than satisfying. The universal 0pin
zion of all present was that the sup
iper served was done in such neat
,clean way that nearly all present
lwere guests at the feast. John B.
Ennis, Charles ONeal and their as
lsistants, both ladies and gentlemen,
,had full charge of the supper, and
fulfilled their duties in 4 move than
satisfactory manner.
, Hon. James NJ. Tunnel, State
chairman, of Georgetown, was the
principal speaker for the evening
and gave a very pleasant address.
ivery suitable for the occasion.
: Several more made short address
: lses, among them being John S: Hal
ilett, William r. Tubbs, L. Frank
iLeCates, county chairman; Mr.. Fur
miss and l. r. Baker. On the plat
. form besides the above were Loren
40 w. Birmingham. Thomas H.
. FOoks, George Vannie Messick and
Mr.. Wheatley, nearly all nominees
ION the Democratic ticket for the
iseveral offices which they will seek
election this fall.
1t really was a wonderful gather
ling of friends who for the time be-
ling neglected politics and mingled
and feasted together, to their Eealts
'content.
People are learning more sense as
they grow older. They are learning
better then to assail others who diff
fer from them along political lines.
'ThiS supper which has passed, will
lead to more of the same kind. NO-
tiers are growing more Independent
education has done wonders in
bringing out from the public tnat
sentiment which means so much for
the government and State. The time
has come when voters will not vote
la Democratic or Republican ticket
'simply because their fathers did be-
fore them. They now think for
Ithemselves-and we believe that fu-
ture elections will show more inde-
pendent voting than ever before.
This is right. Good government Ge-
pends upon the intelligence of the
people, who have it in their power
to say what our national or State |
government shall be, good or bad /
People are learning more and nIOre |
to look at the calibre of the men
who now are nominated on both the
Democratic and Republican tickets /
and select from the number ire
spective of the party to which -they /
belong, those men which they be- I
lieve will render the most sati3fac-
tory service.
AS time comes and goes indepen- /
dent voting will become more pre- |.
valent and the different parties will
learn better than to nominate per-
sons who cannot bear the closest |
scrutiny. If they do, such persons |
will go down to defeat-and right .
fully so.
Stocking Abandoned Mill /
Ponds With Fish
A project is on foot to have the .
incoming legislature pass bill that .
will allow the abandoned mill ponds /
to be put in proper shape for stock
ing with different kinds of fresh .
water fch. The cost will not be .
heavy and the State is in ample .
condition to meet the costs.
The State Game and Fish AssO- /
citation is prepared to furnish the
fish at short notice.
This will be an effort put forth to
help the poor, as anyone will be al
lowed to fish in the mill ponds dur
ing the open season at will.
The banking of the ponds and the
setting of shrubbery to beautify
them, will enhance not only the
lands surrounding the inland lakes,
but will create a scene of magnili-
cense which will be thoroughly en-
jOyed by those who partake of the
sport which the ponds will afford
and to the passer-by as well.
Only Big Cases Wanted
Deputy Prohibition Administrator
Harold D. Wilson, who says in part
that the State officers should look
after the small cases of those who
violate the liquor laws and leave for
the government prohibition agents
to handle the larger ones.
Perhaps if Mr.. Wilson would
cease running around to the differ
ent preachers and w. c. T. U. meet
ings and telling them what should
be done and applied his time taken
in this class of work, in trying to
stop so much Illicit distilling which
is now being done.
We don't know why he is called
"Three-GUn" Wilson, but we imag-
inc if he would get a gattling gun
and go down in the swamps of Sus-
sex county and try to round up
some of the bootleggers who ply
their trade without fear or hin
drance, much of our forest land
would be saved, and drunken 6riv-
ers would be less on the highways
of the State.
