Perhaps few words on the subject of
my last letter but one would not be out
of place here. One paragraph seems to
have excited the Indignation OF the edi-
to- of the Messenger. Why I cannot
say. take this view OF the temperance
question, putting all sentiment aside !:
AS long as men will drink, is it not bet
ter to control the traffic, adopting the
high license system, in contradistinction
to that of prohibition (Which is undoubt-
edly illusory) and impose in town of
this calibre a system of personal super
vision and tax? By this means every
thing will be fair, square and above
board. The practical working of the
system now in use so far from prohibit
ing the consumption of liquor has on the
contrary cause marked increase in the
jug business, which everyone who knows
all thing at all about the matter will UNI
hesitatinglv condemn as little conducive
to temperance. This question should be
looked squarely in the face by all men
who have the moral welfare of their town
at heart

wATERwoRKs BENEFIT ALL
Mr.. Wright Gives the Facts and
Figures Asked For.

AS requested by Mr. Bohannon in your
issue of the 11th, | beg space to give him
the facts and figures for which he seeks.
He asks ''for the figures showing the
'benefits to those who do not live in the
business portion of the town, which is
"but small portion of the corporate
slimits."
The direct benefits to him are: In
creased value of his land, owing to prox-
unity to the thrifty, growing, go-ahead
metropolis of Volusia county, and which
will enable him to realize more for his
land than if the city were not here. In
order to keep this city healthy. prosper
Gus and growing it is conceded bya large
majority of all residents and business
men that a supply of good, pure water
and efficient sanitary measures are emf
mediately necessary.
That the business portion of the city is
but "small portion" as to it's area we
will admit, but it is equally true that the
territory covered by the proposed water
works system embraces nearly two
thirds Of the taxable value of the city.
The exact figures being as follows: The
total of the last tax list was $299, 40; of
this amount $181 500 is directly benefit
ted and covered by the proposed improve
ments, showing a majority of $69, ,710 of
taxed property directly covered ard ben
eftted, or about two-thirds of the taxed
property of the city. Does that look like
the taxation of the many for the benefit
of the few?
These figures are taken from the tax
rolls and can be easily substantiated. |
use the words ''taxe1 property and not
taxable property" Intentionally, be-
cause owing to defect in the statutes it
is very difficult and in some cases impos-
sible for the assessor to get personal
property assessed unless voluntarily re-
p turned by the owner. Many persons
owning taxable personal property haye
for some years paid no such tax, and a
careful poll of property of this kind in
the city limits shows an amountof actual
value of over 500, 900, which will be di-
rectly benefited and protected by the
proposed Improvements, which does not
show on the tax books, and does not en-
ter into the figures given above.
Mr.. Boharnon says that it is not pru-
dent at this time to make the propos
investment, because of those who came
here few years sit ce, and whose groves
are not in bearing, etc. Let me ask him
if the direct benefit to large majority
of the taxable and taxed property of the
cit, must be withheld because of the few
who, from an unfortunate lack of means,
cannot keep up with the procession. A
careful estimate of the taxed values Of
such properties amounts to less than
$50, 900, or less than half of the majority
directly benefited.
Again, Mr.. Bohannon says that our
taxes are already burdensome, and in
stances the "camePs hack" etc. We
deny that any "came's back" will be
broken, but permit me to ask him if the
camel whose back is to suffer, must it be
that of nearly two-thirds of the taxed or
fully four-ffths of the taxable property
of the town, which is now the case and
will continue in case the proposed i'm
provements are withheld. Should not

Action on the Case of Rev. y. II. Campbell
Indefinite y ostp tponement.

indcunite tesfostpohemehts
The Presbytery Of New Castle held a
pro re-na-ta meeting in the Hanover
PRESBYTERIAN church yesterday afternoon
to consider the matter of the divorce and
remarriage of Rev j. r. Campbell. who
has been stated supply at Snow Hill for
several years. The matter was referred
back to the Presbytery for settlement by
the last meeting of the Synod Of Balti-
more, held last month.
The report fof the proceeding Of the
meeting in morning paper is very in
correct. Rev. Lafayette Marks, d. D.,
the moderator. presided. About twenty
five members were present. It was not
a secret session and no resolution of
secrecy was presented. There is
difference of opinion as to
whether the meeting was held with
closed doors or not. A member stated
this morning that the meeting was as
ofen as any, while another asserts that
the session was held with closed doors.
Il is true that persons who were not
members Of the presbytery were present.
Mr.. Campbell's connection with this
presbytery WAS not severed and he was
not dismissed to new field of labor. The
meeting convened at o'clock and the
matter of Mr.. Campbell's divorce and re.
marriage, both of which are contrary to
the laws of the church, were discussed.
Charges OF unchristian and ungentle-
manly conduct were formulated against
Mr.. Campbell for the manner in
which he had obtained his divorce
and his subsequent marriage. A recess
was taken at 4 80 in the afternoon, unit
z o'clock, when the meeting again con
vened. Endeavors were made to select
date to try the charges against Mr.. Camp
bell without success and after prolonged
discussion motion was made at mid
night to indefinitely postpone the whole
matter This motion was carried and
presbytery adjourned.
The matter Is perhaps now ended. Mr.,
Campbell has accepted call to Torres
dale, Pa, in the Presbytery OF Phila-
delphia North and when the next
regular meeting Of presbytery is held
in April, 1890, he will probably
apply for and very likely obtain a letter
of dismissal from this presbytery. No
further action can be taken on the
charges by this presbytery as now con-
stituted and the new presbytery may re-
fuse letter Of dismissal. Mr.. Campbell
may 90 to Torresdale as stated supply,
but he cannot become pastor anywhere.
In all the meetings on this case Mr..
Campbell has conducted himself as a
gentleman, while the circumstances have
been very trying. He has not spoken a
word
