Marie Anfoinefie" Opens
Sunday al Capitol The
atre for Three Days

Superb in every essential OF a
truly great motion picture, Marie
Antoinette," which opens Sunday
at the Capitol Theatre, is the peak
of two careers, those of Norma
Shearer and Tyrone Power. This
feature is on for three-day run.
Convincing in every scene, pas
sionately romantic, thrillingly dam
gerous and grimly tragic, their CO.
starring for the first time in the
picture that resumes Miss Shearer's
brilliant career is the perfect team
ing. ~ ~
1t is their story, this revealing,
often breathless and always en-
thralling drama of the last Queen
of France and the one man she
could completely love and trust, the
handsome, gallant Count Axel de
Fersen.
Their romance is woven like a
golden thread through some of the
most spectacular scenes ever filmed,
Antoinette's arrival at the Palace of
Versailles, her marriage, the gay
gambling hall where she entertained
her fair-weather friends, the Duke
d'Orleans Ball, the escape of the
Royal Family to Varennes when
revolution threatened and mad Paris
when the guillotine heralded the
birth of the French Republic.
Tonight the return engagement
of Lady for a Day" plus a second
feature, Reckless Living" will be
shown for the last times.

suit of which is to cause a rush at
the close. He intimated that he would
be pleased to see business finished
before the allotted 80 days had expir-'
ed.
His declaration as to schools was
to the effect that nothing should in
terfere with the very efficient meth
DDS now in practice, and he promised
all cooperation to maintain the high
standard set.
The new Governor sees a necessity
of new plans to raise taxes-also
necessary, and he points out that
heavy tolls might be expected to Sc
cure the balanced budget. Other mat
ters-finance, roads, politics, courts,
legislation, council, relief, and Cen
eral Assembly, were treated at length,
the following being a brief statement
of the same:

denim. It is more useful to seek your
consideration and support of what
might be done henceforth. We go on
from here.
POLITICS-No one need fear an at
tempt by me to build personal or
ganization or a political machine. The
only ambition I have is to be the very
best Governor that it is within my ca
pacity to be. I shall let nothing in
terfere.
FINANCING must not live on
borrowed money. We do not have the
right to mortgage the future unduly
to meet present needs. We must pro-
vide adequate revenues. It is impera-
tive that we avoid waste and extrava-
gance. We must get down to necessi-
ties. We shall have to raise addition
al revenue
ROADS-Our roads, in comparison
with those Of other. states, should
spur us on. The best politics to play
is sometimes no politics at all. 1t is
imperative that petty political con-
siderations do not Illustrate the COM
pletion of an enlightened and we'll
considered program.
COURTS Methods might be devils
ed to avoid the possibility Of future
election of judges being thrown into
political contests. The administra-
ton will support well-considered plans
to prevent such an occurrence. AS q
result (of the fee system for JUS
tees of the peace-there have been
many cases of what might be term
ed "justice at a price," The system
has outlived it's usefulness. The soon
err we get rid of it the better.
PEOPLES COURT-It should be
reformed along the lines recommend
ed by the Bar Association.
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL-The es-
tablishment of legislative council
is a matter of great Importance. This

ciple of individual liberty. It is prop
er that you should know that I favor
such sound, progressive legislation.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY-It
may not be too much to hope the Leg
islature will proceed as promptly as
is consistent with efficiency so that
the work may be completed before the
expiration Of the period allowed by

BENEFIT OF DREDGING
SMYRNA RIVER

Messrs. Lewis & Price are
making arrangements to put up an
addition to their already large es-
tablishment at Smyrna Landing,
40 by 40 feet, two stories, for a
bone mill and storage room. They
also contemplate getting a new 40
horse power engine. They are al
ready feeling the great benefit of
having the bed of Smyrna river
dredged to enable the passage up
Of vessels of large draught. They
are now having a vessel loaded in
New York with $50 tons of mater
ial to be freighted to them at S11O
per ton, as against nearly three
dollars heretofore by rail They
have been unable to communicate
with New York by water where
they could make advantageous
purchases, because the vessels
could not safely enter the stream.
This one draws seven feet of wat
er. They can hereafter get phos-
phate material freighted from
Philadelphia for so cents a ton, as
against 50 by rail This difference
they say will not only enable them
to live better, but sell their pro-
duct cheaper.

BODY OF MAN FOUND IN
SMYRNA RIVER

On Sunday afternoon Mrs.
Evans at Smyrna Landing, in
looking at the creek from her resi-
dence saw what she supposed to
be man swimming, the active
current giving it this appearance
but a further look showed that it
did not change position. She no
titled man or two of the neigh
borhood who discovered it was a
dead floating body, only that it
was anchored to the place. BY
means Of a rope thrown around it
it was pulled to and secured to the
wharf. Word was sent up to Will
liam A. FAIRIES, who is acting as
deputy coroner, who in company
with DR.. Moore examined and had
the body brought to this town. A
stone weighing some forty pounds
was found tied to the feet of the
corpse, railroad spikes being used
in securely tying the cord. The
place was at the supper end of the
Landing, above the point visited
by the dredging machines, where
the water was shallow, and when
decomposition set in could reach
the surface at low tide. A cor
oner's jury was summoned and an
inquest held at six o'clock, with b.
v. Weldon as foreman and o. b.
Voshell as clerk The body was
found without any marks upon it
indicating violence, and utterly
without anything on the person or
in the pockets that would lead to
Identification. In fact the pockets
were empty except some particles
of brass, leading to. the supposition
that he must be man who was
here purchasing brass. The clothes
were fairly good, having on three
pairs Of pants and two linen shirts
under a blue wooien one and
good pair of shoes. His dress did
not indicate he was a tramp. He
was of sandy complexion and

ing all the modern improvements
and devices, surprising, it is stat
ed, that of any other undertakers
out of the large cities. They also
had made at shop of E. G. FAIRIES
of this town, set of silver mount
ed harness to match the highly
FURNISHED hearse, that makes them
a most attractive outfit. They
have now three hearseS that can
be called into requisition as occa-
sion requires. In addition to these
articles in the line of conveyance
they have a complete outfit for
embalming, as good as can be
furnished by any undertaken in

pride in keeping abreast of all the
latest improvement in their pro-
fession.

Region; Judge Biggs Stays in 3rd
A bill now pending in Congress
provides that Delaware be shifted
from the U. S. Court of Appeals
for the third district to the fourth
district comprising Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Caro-
lima, and South Carolina. The
third district, which now compris-
es Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Delaware, would under the new bill
comprise only Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. Judge John Biggs,
Jr., of Wooddale would remain in
the third district as the bill stipu-
lates that judges already assigned
would remain in the circuits to
which they were appointed. The
three judges of the proposed new
fourth district would sit in Rich
mond, Va, and Ashevile, N. C.
Delaware attorneys who have mat
tiers before the u S. Coutr of Ap-
peals would have to go to those
cities. The bill which was intro
duced by Representative Chandler,

reported to have good chance of

DRIVE AGAINST
STORE TAXING
Realty Owners Make Drive
Against the Store Taxes
i'm State
CALL 1T PUNATIVE
OVNU sERvIcD

Hailing the action taken by the
Central Atlantic Regional Confer
ence of the National Association
of Real Estate Boards in launching
a movement for the repeal of ex-
isting anti-chain store taxes, Char
les S. Hart, executive director of
the Business Property Owners As
sociation of America, today called
upon real estate interests of the
nation to support the drive. Hart
pointed out that the regional con-
ference has requested the parent
organization, the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards, to
lend its weight to an organized
campaign against all punitive and
discriminatory taxes on retail out
lets imposed by state and local
governments.
The action of the conference is
extremely timely" Hart declared.
Discriminatory taxes on retail
stores, based simply on the num-
Der of units operating under one
management, threaten all real es-
tate values. 1 cannot urge too
strongly that every regional, state
and local real estate association
take an active part in this move
ment."
The Business Property Owners
Association, he added today
pledges its whole-hearted support
to the vigorous leadership supplied
by the regional conference. We
have gone further than mere
verbal approval of the campaign,
however, and have advised BPOA
members to invite all owners of
business properties, members or
non-members of this association,
to render every possible assistance
| to the leaders of this drive"
Chain stores are the best clients
of real estate, Hart declared.
''They are steady and prompt
paying source of rentals, and their
attraction of large crowds of shop
pers creates a magnetic trade
drawing power which raises the
value of business property in com
munities where they 1ocate.
But there are broader and more
significant aspects of the chain
store system, which make this
present campaign more than a real
estate battle" he said. "The
chains provide stable and large
market for the farmers products
and make possible substantial saw
ings for the low-income groups of
consumers. Thus, all real estate
interests uniting in this movement
for repeal Of chain store taxes are
participating in a campaign the
benefits of which will accrue to the
entire nation"
