THE new editor of the Middletown
Transcript is seeing things as yet as a
citizen looking with an honest eve at
the public good, and not so much as
the politician who sooner or later be
comes a creature of expediency, writes
as follows about the proper choice OF
public officials, as against such indi.
viduals as the present collectors OF
Wilmington
We believe that if true expression
of the majority can be had at 10Th the
primary and general election, all other
good things will follow. If. 1T the
present time, this approach, too
closely to the millennium, these are
things which can be done, and which
the tax payers of this county are in a
spirit to demand that the party bidding
for their support shall do. They have
seen the amount necessary to meet
public expenditures, increase year bv
year until their taxes are a burden
and the good the county receives is not
commensurate with the expenditures.
This is especially hard now, when the
farming interests are so fearfully de-
pressed, that slave as they may it is
utterly impossible for farmers to meet
their obligations. Work as hard as it
IS possible for them to work, aud the
land will not yield them a living.
Even under these circumstances peo-
pie would not grumble at the burdens
Of taxation, if elections were so regu-
lated that men in whom they have full
conhndence, were the ones chosen to
administer public affairs. On the con-
trary they frequently see men chosen
for that purpose, who have proven
unable to manage their personal affairs
and oftener than not, men for whose
personal honesty, it would be hard to
find vouchers.
Smyrna times., 1889-10-23

WILMINGTON, or more properly a
number of people in it are in a peck of
trouble about their taxes. The favor
ite saying that prohibition does not
prohibit" has its parallel with them
locally, in a similar phrase, that "col-
lectOrs do not collect" The charge is
that collectors Dougherty and Mckee
avoid as much as possible receiving
the taxes by having hours that do not
suit the labOring men, and that if the
hours they name are taken advantage
of, if they come in sufficient numbers
to look like business, the collectors shut
up their books and walked out of the
Office. Their effort at avoidance is the
poll tax. Seeing this, a number of
property holders are refusing to paw
their county road and poor tax, and
thus, if this is kept up there must come
a time of a dearth of means for the
administration of the county affairs,
and when this is so and the public
functiOnaries find the teat dry, then
there will come up howl.
One ofthe county papers notes an
exception to the Wilmington collectors
as follows:
During the term of William H.
Houston as collector of st. Georges
hundred, he was most diligent to col
lect taxes, and if men did not buDt
him up to pay their taxes he hunted
them up.
The consequence is that his name is
to-day synonym for faithful public
officer, and he is respected and hon
ored by men of all parties. He was a
credit to his party and the party was
strengthened by his course as tax col
lector.

Growing Sugar Corn,
FROM ONE WHO HAS TRIED IT.

We are permitted to publish the fol-
lowing private letter in relation to the
growth of corn for canning, which is a
valuable testimonial in its favor:
MIDDLEToWN, Oct 10th, 'S9.
MR.. A. l.. HUDSON:
Dear Sir IL read in the SMYRNA
TINES that, if the farmers would con.
tract for 400 acres of sugar corn, there
would be a canning factory started.
| have grown it the last two years and
l think that there is double the net
profit in it as the field corn. At 81
per ton it will pay $25 to $50 per acre,
and at 50 per ton, $40 to $40. Mr..
AlonzO Whittock got S4O0 from 10
acres; Mr.. VIM. Polk S11OO from 30
acres in 1888. think it cost at least
81 90 per acre less to deliver sugar corn
q miles than field corn, and it does
not sap the ground so much as field
corn, or at least the wheat on the
ground that had the sugar corn is
growing a great deal better, the differ
ence, / think, being 8 to 5 bushels per
acre. | have the management of the
farm down home and would like nv
name put down for 25 acres, and as
soon as they are ready to contract will
bring down tenant and contract.
Respectfully, WIN. ROTHwELL.

baltimore & delaware Rav railroad

A meeting was held at Chestertown
on Tuesday evening, October Is, in the
interest of the Baltimore and Delaware
Bay Railroad. Stacy and some other
railroad meu were preset, with about
fifty residents of ChestertOwn. Charles
T. WescOtt was made chairman of the
meeting. Theilens stated that the
road had heen bought by the present
owners for 100000. They had spent
$4,000 in repairs. He also stated that
permanent connection with the Jersey
Central railroad from Bombay Hook
and the extension to COLCHESTER would
be made as soon as the main line is
put in satisfactory condition. The
work would probably be done within
the coming year. The extension would
cost $4,000, and would increase the
bonded debt of the road to 1876, 900.
The road has earned 100000 in the
last four months. 1t is proposed to
build the extension to Colchester by
way of Chestertown, having a new
depot near the centre of the town, con-
ditiOnal upon subscriptions to the
stock being made in an amount sufi-
cient to extend the road to Chester
river. The estimated cost of the ex-
tension is $4,000.

THE Peninsula, it seems, like the
other great places, is to have a trust
tOO-an oyster trust Who would
have thought it. The oyster pack
ers of the Peninsula, joined by the
packers of Baltimore, have formed a
trust to keep up the price of oysters
to one dollar per gallon for shucked
oysters, and thus by this extravagant
price limit the pack. Tongers and
Others interested in the catch will all
combine with delight. Mr.. Stevens. of
Seaford, the President, says that in a
short time the trust will dictate the
amount of oysters to be shucked and
regulate the price to suit themselves.
When they make the oyster a luxury
by raising the price, and drive the
people to "hog and hominy" again, he
may talk differently about debating
the price. The horse can be led to the
trough, but he cannot always be made
to drink.

CANNING OF SUGAR CORN.
Successful Meeting Last Saturday Night 4!
The Enterprise Assured. Nearly 800
Acres Pledged.

Farmers interested in growing sugar
corn for McGaw & Bro. met Saturday
night at eX-Sheriff Robinsou's Office,
and Robert Hill was made chairman
and j. G. Robinson secretary. There
was large number in attendance and
great interest manifested. After an
explanation of the plans of growing the
sugar corn and its harvesting, and the
profit above that of the common field
corn, clearly stated by the Messrs. Nc
Cav, there was an evident disposition
to take hold of the enterprise. The
number of acres required to be grown
in order to jutify them in erecting a
factory and putting in the necessary
machinery, they fixed at 600. The cost
of such an expenditure would involve
about $4,000. Upon the inquiry what
would they pay per ton, which was
answered at $3.50, and whether enough
tons could be grown to the acre to pay
the farmers a good profit, which was
answered from D to tons per acre,
the suggestion was made by A. G..
Cummins that the McGaw Brothers,
who know their business, would not
be willing to invest so much money in
factory and machinery unless they
knew that it would pay the farmers to
grow the corn. They would not take
such risks, because if the farmers
should find it did not pay and were to
stop growing it the Gamers would have
their capital locked up. On the call
for growers to pledge the number of
acres they would devote to sugar corn
growing, the following promptly re-
spOnded, and other names were handed

ONE of the notable incidents of last

Of Saturday, was the resignation of
Rev. DR.. John Mcdowell Leavitt
from the ministry of the Protestant
Episcopal Church and his union with
the Reformed Church. The latter
church, as will be recalled, was founded
by Bishop George David Cummins, who
grew up in Smyrna, and withdrew
from the parent church because of
doctrinal differences and usages in the
ceremonials which he thought were
not in harmony with the true evan
gelical spirit of the gospel. Or.

The following committee to secure
further cooperation and to report at a
meeting to be held next Saturday night
at J. G. RObinson's office, was an
pointed: A. L. Hudson, J. G. Robinson,
A. G. Cummins, Titus Hobbs, William
Nailor and Robert Hill.
Either one or both of the Messrs.
McGaws will be present at the next
meeting to answer all questions peril
nent to the subject and to give all
desired information. 1t is hoped that
there will be a large gathering of farm
ers, both landlords and tenants, from
all this neighborhood.
This Cannery business should deeply
interest not only the farmers but also
the storekeepers. The money that is
paid out every Saturday to the opera
tlves finds its way as solid cash into
the hands of the merchants, and in no
small way either You NAV see the
Gamers going on Saturdays with big
bags of coins to be distributed. This is
an industry that all citizens should
aim to foster. 1t makes a home market
1t SaUeS to the farmers freight, commits
sion merchants charges, husking, crib
bing, shellipg, Sc, or above 10 cents a
bushel. If this much is saved, it is
clearly made. The Messrs. NcGaw do
not ask us to contribute money, they
having their own capital, and are will
ing to spend or invest it in our midst
for our benefit. All they ask US to do
is to grow the corn and tomatoes. All
our citizens should be thoroughly in
| terested in such an enterprise. It puts
life and activity in our streets and
money into our houses and stores. This
canning factory should be Smyrna's
pet; foster it, take pride in it, recognize
it, and cooperate with it. till it Shall
grow up in our midst into such proper
tiOns as to embrace for canning all the
vegetables that are canned, and meats
also; till it shall acquire a reputation
like that of the celebrated factory at
