4 Regular Rascal,

A Mr.. Ell. w. Wise has left here
for parts unknown and defrauded.
number of our citizens. He was en-
gagged in furnishing railroad ties to the
Pittsburgh & Western Company. For
this purpose he purchased timber of
several farmers had the ties sawed
by contract with the owners of several
saw mills; had them delivered on the
track of the road, and then had them
inspected by the agent of the road and
taken off his hands About ten days
ago, it is said, he received from the
Company about S14, 100000 for large
number of ties thus delivered and in
spected, and instead of paying the
honest owners and laborers for their
timber and toll, he has run off and is
attempting to cheat them. He had
promised to pay as soon as he received
his money from the Company, and
many of those he owed were in need
and anxiously awaiting their hard
earned money. 1t seems that this is
not the first game he has played in the
matter of furnishing railroad ties and
the matter should be investigated by
all ways possible. Warrants have
been issued for him and it is to be
hoped that he may be followed up and
brought to justice. He said he came
from Lehigh county this State. He
is called H. w. Wise, but whether
that is his real name or not is not
known. His last place of staying
while in this county was about Har
mony and the report says that he
ensnared young lady of that place
TO go away with him.

For the Smyrna Times.

In Wednesdays issue of the Smyrna
TIMES on the 18th of September 1882,
there was u communication over the
signature of II. c. Douglass, charging
me with having circulated Il report
that Messrs. Snow IL Co., Commission
Merchants of Boston, had failed.
must confess, on reading the article
l was not a little surprised that |
should be accused, and so uniustly.
From what | have understood | sup
pose that such a charge has been made
to Col. II. G. Douglass, directly or in
directly, but if anyone has SO reported
that | said MesSrs. Snow ~ Co. had
failed, he must have misunderstood or
maliciously misrepresentcd me as ! am
prepared to prove to any unprejudiced
mind
Another charge made by the said
IL. c. Douglass is, that | said all the
commission merchants We're IL set of
grand scoundrels. l take the liberty
of saying that deny ever making use
of amy such remark.
I'm regard to the demand made Of me
of IL full, immediate and unqualified
/ rctraction, us | had not circulated Il
report of what | was demanded to
retract, could not conscientiOusly
comply with the demand.
| therefore must say in conclusion
that all the charges and allegations in
the Smyrna TIMES made against me by
the said IL. c. Douglass, are each and
all Of them without the slightest foun
patton in Truth.

down the words at the time. 1 am
content to stand by his report. You
do me an injustice when YOU construe
the words which did utter to mean
that L was in favor of; and advocated,
mixed schools" l characterized as
an outrage the Democratic legislation
of this State which had taxed separately
the cOlOred people of the State for the
support of their own schools, and
which in this instance was equivalent
to saying to the poorest class of people
in the community, "You must support
your own schools or do without them"
1t was the taxing separately, and not
the schooling separately that branded
as an outrage. | am not an advocate
of "miXed schools" but on the other
hand am emphatically opposed to them
and on many occasions in different
sections of the State | have said so
openly to the cOlored people, when 1
have been addressing them upon
educational matters"
This ought to set Mr. Conrad right,
especially as he is willing to stand by
the report of his speech published in
the Erery Erening, Il non-partizan
paper.
1t perhaps is not to be regretted that
the subject has been thus stirred up,
for what was dorment is thus brought
to the surface. Prejudice is giving
way and justice taking its place. The
Democratic ratification meeting held
in the same place three nights subse-
quent, virtually took the same position
of Mr.. Conrad in favor of greater facili-
ties for education and the Gazette OF
Saturday, the same paper that mis-
quoted Mr.. Conrad has the following
item in its editorial columns:
"The speeches at the Opera House
last night upon the School question
had no uncertain sound. The best
schools obtainable for every child il
the State without regard to race, color
or previous condition, but 1Cith thu
blacks and lUhites separate, has the true
ring about it and voices the universal
sentiment of the people of the whole
State"
The @ best schools obtainable" as tn,
Gazette has it, is all that can be asked
even by the colored people themselves
the most interested party in this con
troversy.

ENGLAND is not temperance nation,
and in the higher classes wine drink
ing is the rule rather than the excep-
ton, but her greatest living general it
is said is total abstainer from intoxi-
eating liquors. Sir Garnet WOlseley
the conqueror of Arab Pasha leaves
his wine set for his dinner untouched
and keeps a clear head. Drinking is
the great vice of armies, and yet
nowhere else does a man require that
all his faculties shall be normal more
than when in the charge OF troops in
the field, especially when he is high in
command. He is in better physical
condition to stand the different climates
to which military service may call him,
and intellectually he keeps himself far
better poised than if he followed the
drinking customs of the run of army
officers. His mind is clearer, and he
can trust his judgment. How many
thousands of lives would have been
saved in our war, for instance, if the
Generals had all been as sober a!
WOlseley is said to be.

WE REFERRED last week to the
manifest improvement in the personnel
of the Democratic ticket in New Castle
county as a whole over those of late
years, and hoped it would be emulated
in the make up of other tickets. The
Republicans in the same county
on Saturday came up fully to the re-
quirement in the nomination of a ticket
that is credit to the county. 1t has
on it some of the leading names in the
county that can be trusted in any
position they are placed. With a
greater interest in Kent, we hope she
will not be slow to profit by the exam
pie so we'll set and put only good and
capable men in the field.

A New School House.

A New School House.
Mr.. EDITOR No question is likely
to come before the next legislature,
more directly eflccting the people of
than that of new school
house for Smyrna Public Schools.
Town pride and good schools are alike
involved. The present building known
as "Old number ~ has much more re
semblance to barn than to II school
house. The school house @hnHld be IN
ornament rather thAH an cyr-oore-a
building to be shown to visitors with
feeling of pride.
But beauty is not thc only. or the
chief consideration. The Board of
School Commissioners, who by sLillful
management have secured IL measure
of excellence in every way creditablc,
have been much hampercd by the
separation of departments, three being
in Il building at one end Of town and
three III Il building ut the other. 1t is
important for supervision, for discipline
and for unity that the schools, now
one, should be under one roof The
present buildings are not of sufficient
size to seat more than threc-fOurths of
the scholars who now attend; neither
are the accommodations for teaching
in the primary departments nearly
sufficient. Public schools are founda-
ton of public intelligence. No other
tax comes back to the tax payer so
quickly and so prolitably as school tax.
y liberal policy should be pursued in
regard to the schools. The present
management deserves, needs, and
doubtless will receive full support from
the people. The coming Legislature
will give the needed alteration in the
law, so that the Board can proceed tC
/ build in the most economical and least
burdcnsomc way.

MIXED SCHOOLs.-It is an element
Of weakness or nnfairness to force an
unwarranted construction on language
not quixotical, and stick to it. Such has
been the case with the speech of III. c.
Conrad, Esq, at the Republican Ratii-
cation Meeting held in Wilmington
last week. Since the enfranchisement
of the African race until the last Legis-
lature, comparatively nothing was
done to prepare them for intelligent
citizenship. They were derided for
being ignorant, and denied at the same
time any recognized effort to better
their condition. And but for the effort
of Prof. T. n. Williams, the small
appropriation that was made would
have failed, for the voice Of those who
had hitherto directed our legislation
for twenty years was against it.
Mr. Conrad referred to the unwise
and unjust treatment of cOlOred
children in leaving them uncared fol
practically and cOntended that tho
poorest and most ignorant class of the
people should not be left to their owl
slender resources, His language wal
twisted to mean that he was in favO
of "mixed schools" and so it has re
sounded in the Democrat press of tn
State. Mr.. Conrad did not of cours
wish to be wrongly quoted, and sent
note to the Gazette, the paper tina
made the charge, in which he says:
"Imust take exception to the quo
tation which you insist contains th
