Dover District has MADE cred

Sheriff Wooten, who has been out

The money lost to the county by

preachers of the District to sue
ceed Presiding Elder Milby was,
while a surprise, qualification to
his many friends to see him at his
age in the ministry step up at the
call of his brethren to take this
place of responsible authority. It
is a mark of the highest apprecia-
tion of those in the ranks and none
ought to be better judges Of the
qualifications for the Office than
they. Mr.. Ayres went out from
this town, having been resident
of it for sixteen years, coming here
from Queen Anne's county to en-
gage in business when a half

entered the itinerary in 1870. With
out early advantages and in the
face of many discouragements,
with mind ready to seize every
advantage that presented itself
and with that determined purpose
to rise superior to all difficulties.
Mr.. Ayres has steadily grown to
his present place in the Peninsular
ministry. He has an original mind
with perceptions looking to the ac-
complishments of the future rath-
er than the achievements of the
past, and thus with both mental
and constitutional vigor, Mr.. Ayres
will no doubt devote his whole en-
ergies to the advancement of his
District, should the Bishop confirm
the action of the preachers meet
ing by appointing him to the Ed
ership.

HEAT CAUSES EXPANSION
Prevents the Drawbridge at Laure
From Opening-Now Repaired

Due to the extremely hot wealth
er Of the past week, the concrete
highway just south of the Central
Avenue drawbridge has expanded
so much that it had been impossi-
bic to open the bridge during the
heat of the day. The pressure of
the concrete against the bridge
was so great during the heat wave
that the highway department was
summoned on Wednesday to assist
in altering this condition. 1t was
necessary to remove a small sec
ton of concrete near the bridge in
order to relieve this pressure.

Duluthian Tells
Labor 1t Must
Play Ball

Duluth Minn.-Joseph Albright,
speaking before mass meeting of
Roosevelt Garner clubs Of Duluth,
electrified a large throng of white
people last Thursday night with
the assertion that "the Negro vote
is willing to join hands with white
labor if white labor will play ball"
The recent appointee to the Ma
tional Speakers Bureau Of the
Democratic party, speaking before
a Duluth audience for the first
time since his appointment, was
given a tremendous ovation.
Speaking with his characteristic
fiery manner, Albright told the
packed assembly Roosevelt has
blazed the trail for unity of labor.
BY his every move he has evidenced
q program calculated to benefit
every citizen regardless of race and
color. The Negro, recognizing the
justice of that program, is at this
moment pledged by an overwhelm-
ing majority to the support Of the
Presidents action. It is now up to
white labor to see that these ideals
are carried out. AS long, and only
as long, as this is done viii the
Negro electorate help wage the
fight. Oblivion awaits labor in
America II this unity Is not main

ourselves to thank IL our indif-
ference to the common welfare is

efforts Of this economic emancipa-
