The Ne,V Castle School Board,
New CASTLE, July 1s, 1915.

NEW CASTLE, July ~, 1875.
EDITOR OF THE HERALD see by your
paper the School Board has closed the
schools for seven weeks, and the pay of the
teachers is to 60 IN all the same. It's too
bad in these hard times, when poor people
can hardly get enough for our wives and
child to eat and taxes is heavy to be paying
people for doing nothing. Who gives the
School Board the right to give money away
that way. If the children didn't 90 to
school regular, its because teachers told
them it was too hot, and if they were the
children they wouldn't 60 to school. pay
mytaxess and want my children to go to
school, then know where they are, and l
know they are not in danger of getting
drowned. As Mr.. Herbert says, if so chill
dren 60 to school, they had no right to shut
the door in their faces, and then to 60 Oh
paying the teachers.

Editor ofths Herald -
Twas sorry to notice In THE HERALD of
Monday an attack upon the police force,
through the editorial columns, that is war
ranted by none ofthe complaints mentioned.
The force is as judiciously managed as It
is possible for it to be, under the peculiar
and embarrassing circumstances surround
ing it. There are only twenty one men on
the force and 1t is impossible for them to be
ubiquitous. Increase the force to proper
size and they will be on hand when wanted.
They already do four hours more work q
day than the police of any city in the United

DELRWARE SHORE RAILROAD,
FsnssS Grove to Have the F0ctIitiss Ol
Both R4J and W0ter.

Psn'ss Grove to Have the Facilities o.
Both R~iI and Water.
The Delaware Shore Railroad, extending
from Woodbury. to Penns Grove, a distance
OF twenty miles, will be opened for travel
on Monday next. 1t will be operated with
the rolling stock of the West Jersey Rail-
road Company, with which road it connects
at Woodbury.. There will be ten stations
on the line of the road, all conveniently To-
Gated.
The Delaware Shore Railroad passes
through q thickly settled, fertile and highly
cultivated country. It runs through the
largest sweet potato growing section of
South Jersey, one township alone Wool
wich, ifs Gloucester county y growing annu-
ally marehhan 1,O00.00O bushels, and one
farmer In Salem county shipped last year
over $4,000 barrels. These tubers can be
shipped by this route directly from the fields
to the Philadelphia and New York markets
without transhipment. The densely popu-
lated region through which this new road
passes makes the prospects of passenger
travel exceedingly encouraging.
The roal has been built at cost of only
$4,000 per mile, including three draw
bridges, One-third of this cost has been
paid in cash, leaving bonded indebtedness
Of $500, 900, with no floating debt. The Of
ticers Of the Delaware Shore Railroad are ::
President, Hon. Samuel Hopkins Treas
urer, DR.. 8. T. Muller; Secretary, D. B.
Gill. Gen. W. j. Sewell has been chosen
and will act as general manager.
Yesterday workmen were engaged at
Penns Grove working on the road, and as
this ia the terminus 1t is no doubt nearly fin
ished.
This will in all probability increase the
trade in Penns Grove, and will, it is
thought, make more business for this city,
as there will be an opportunity afforded for
persons living in the interior of the State
not only to get their marketing here, but it
will enable the Wilmington merchants to
open up what may become quite consider
able trade with Jersey ciIizens.

American BlOOO III England.
From the Kentucky Live Stock Record,
July Is.
The crack two-year-old of England thus
far in the racing year is out Of mare by
the American bred horse Charleston.
Charleston, our readers will remember,
was bred by Mr.. Puryear, then of South
Carolina, now of New Jersey, by imported
Sovereign, ont of Millwood by imported
Monarch. After racing with marked sue
cess in America, he was carried to England
by Mr.. r. Ten Brock, but was unsuccessful
in his only race there. The late Sir Joseph
Hawley used him in his stud. Columbia, by
Charleston, dam Vexation by Touchstone,
cut of Vat by Langcr, was one of the mares
he bred. COLUMBIA has produced the chest
nut colt Rob Roy, by Blair Athol, who won
two first-class two. year-olds stakes at the
late Ascot meeting, the Nineteenth Ascot
Biennial Stakes, T. Y. c., in which he beat
Chevron and nine others 122 lbs, on colts
11S lbs, on fill!es. Same week won the
New Stakes, T. Y. G., carrying 1877 lbs,
beating st. Christopher and six others.
This strongly shows the value of good
racing family, which sometimes lays dor
mant for generation And reappears with
renewed force In the next. America has
