press and our own better instincts, we
fOregO the demands of justice both ag-
gressively and defensively by ceasing
a controversy with the Record that has
become purely personal, and thus not
of interest to the general reader, and
which we would not have been drawn
into, but for the repeated and prOvOk-
ing goadings. We cannot correct false
statements without a distasteful con-
troversy, and hence we will endure the
wrongs rather than infiict them on our
readers. A life time among a people,
if it does not establish character that
can withstand violent and malicious
assault, has poor ally in wOrdy con-
trOversy.

SUSSEX is looking up. The people
have felt the sting of the continual
filings at them for their fustian habits,
half-tilled fields, poor schools and
"dOwn dar" ways. and if we may be-
lieve the evidences (which are being
well-substantiated). Sussex county is
coming out of her retirement. This
year more than any other has given
confidence in her resources in the
peach returns which have been far
more lucrative than ever before. They
expect that county to form the centre
of the peach belt in a very few years.
Here is how the Laurel Gazefte states
it, under the heal of Sussex to the
Front"
Sussex county IRON time immem-
Orial has been the butt OF the State.
Should man be seen eating a ginger
cake on the streets of Wilmington or
Dover, he is set down at once as hail
ing from Sussex, and often times the
New Castle granger is mistakingly
greeted by the incOrrigable urchin
with there goes a Sussex = Sussex
county is especially considered by
those Peninsula- residents who have
never been there as IL land of sand
hills, producing no crops save pine
needles and sand ticks, and her people
set OfignOramuses and haw eaters. ;
Our county has stood all this very
good naturedly, for its people, knowing
its capacity for business thrift and the
prosperity which it enjoys, believe in
the saying that those who laugh last
laugh heHrtiest.' Suppose our friends
of Kent and New Castle counties take
look at Sussex to-day. Surely they
would open their eyes to the magni-
tude of our industries and the wealth
and social standing of our people.
Her peaches during the season lust

dent of the Delaware Railroad, saws
that this years crop of peaches
amounted to about 100000 baskets
bringing into the State over $4,000, 900
and that half the peaches came from Sus

wastes of Sussex $1,0OO,O00 to heI
sister counties S5OOOOO. Her people

THE attempt to test the constitution
ality of the civil service law proved a
dismal failure Friday. Morris S. Mil
Ter, counsel for James H. Hinckley,
who brought this proceeding, did not
even have a chance to argue the ques-
tion of the constitutionality of the act.
The suit was thrown out of court by
Judge Wallace with a prOmptness that
must have surprised Messrs. Hinckley
and Miller.

Georgetown, in their line of business,
have few if any equals in the State.
Ship-building, which is carried on ex-
tensively at Milton and other points,
stands well. Her large thrCe-mast
schOOners traverse every sea.
"And Sussex can boast of her phOs-
phate factories, among which We will
mention those of A. S. WoOlley and w.
NJ. Ross & Co., of Seaford, and the re-
port of the State Chemist will show
that Sussex leads the van.
with these facts we think that Sus-
sex county can boast with more pro-
priety than Kent or New Castle can
laugh"

bit also of commiseration for the writer
did we read the artice last SATURDAY
from the Billingsgate editor OF the
Smvrna Record. Such men are con
slant reproach on journalism, ana tne
sooner they are relegated to that Cd oD-
scurity to which they belong, the Detter
for the community. y
The promoters of the I" "anti-bribery
movement" are again actively at work
In Caroline county. Circular letters
are being sent all over the county ana
handbills posted up calling. attention
To the mass-convention to be held on
Tuesday. A circular letter has been
addressed to the candidates of both
parties by the committee appointed by
the anti-bribery convention, calling
upon candidates to pledge their honor
not to use money or allow it to be used
directly or indirectly in promoting
their election. 1t is thought the can
didates of both parties will refuse to
make the pledge, and that full anti
bribery ticket will be nominated.

The anti-Chinese movements in
Wyoming and Washington Territory
continue and threaten more Outrages.
Both of these are no doubt directly due
to the impunity with which the Rock
Springs massacre was perpetrated.

and especially the impetus given to the
display of race hatreds, should warn
the Government of the danger of pal

CHANCES FOR HEALTH AND DIS

Man is dependent upon his surround
in8s for the necessities of life. Air and
water are necessities of life, but impure
air and impure water are most prolific
sources of disease. Food is also a nee
essity Of life, but numerous diseases are
traceable TO both a lack of necessary
food. and an over indulgence in special
kinds OF nourishment. Besides these
external sources of disease, there are
other more subtle and internal causes.
Each individual inherits from his par
ents certain physical condition. Each
person therefore derives his chances of
health or disease from a double source.
namely his inherited constitution and
his surroundings in life. Sanitary
science devotss attention to our sur
roundings. Medical science seeks to
overcome the constitutional or inherit
ed weakness by medicines that supply
what is wanting in the system. De Ha-
