It is urged that the creation of the
Virginia district of the Wilmington
M. E. Conference was unwise for these
reasons: The exceedingly narrow linn

with any promise is already occupied
the abundant supply of churches on
this territory by six evangelical demon.

MEssRs. @. w. KENNEDY q Co.:
There is not one discordant
note in the chorus of the Lower
MerinO Baptist Church when the
congregation chants the praise
of the FARRAND & VOTEY
ORGAN used in the new meet
ing house.
We are more than charmed
with its sweetness and purity of
tone and its great power as a
leading instrument for congrega-
ClOnaI singing mas been most sue
cessfully demonstrated when the
meeting house was crowded.
Speaking for myself, 1 feel that
the highest praise l can bestow
upon the instrument would be no
more than a just appreciation of
its high merit.
Yours sincerely,
ROBERT j. BURDETTE.

Despite the fact that women lace,
wear thin shoes and expose their
health in dozen other ways, the
average longevity of the female sex IS
increasing. 1t is doubtless due to their

TO TAX EXPRESS COMPANIES.

General Armstrong; act to tax ex-
press companies doing business in this
State is a decidedly heavy measure.
1t says that any express company do
ing business in this State shall pay to
the state treasurer the sum of 500. 900
in semi-annual payments, on the first
days of July and January. Failure to
pay the tax is to deprive the company
of the right to do business in this state.
The state Treasurer is to proclaim the
failure of any company to pay and the
proclamation is to be published in one
newspaper in each county for two
weeks. After such proclamation it
shall be unlawful, not only for the said
company so proclaimed to do business
here, but also for any person to employ
said company, and penalties are pro-
vided for both.
Section 4 blocks the express compa-
nies from making the tax out of their
patrons, as it provides that no cOmpa-
ny shall charge more after the passage
of this act than it did before for its
work.

TALKING OVER THE CONVENTION
MEASURE.

SenatOr-elect Higgins and E. G..
Bradford, Esqs., were in consultation
with the Republican members last
week on the constitutional convention
subject. Mr.. Bradford submitted a
proposition regarding his measure,
which the Republican members will
try to unite on. This changes his orig.
inal bill somewhat, as it brings the
number Of delegates up to ffty-seven
apportioned thus so that the autonomy
of the hundreds in each county is pre-.
served, and each county obtains fai.
representation. In this new appor-
tionment Sussex county gets thirteen
one for each hundred, and five at large
is; Kent county gets nine, one in
each hundred and seven at large-16
in New Castle county each rural hun.
dred gets one delegate-l0; Whining
ton, ive-15; and the county eight at
large-23.
No effort was made to unite the men,
bers, but il is plain to see that Mr..
Bradford's new apportionment suits
better than his first. One plan pro-
posed is to have an open discussion
some night this week in which mem.
bers and leaders generally, Democrat
and Republican, may express their
views.
