MIR. NOyes' Challenge.
North EAST, Sept. q, 1892.

NOhIft EASl, otpG. -, 1917.
Mr., EDITOR:
l noticed in your paper challenge from
the candidate OF the Peoples party to the
other aspirants for Compression Il honors to
meet him in public and discuss the issues
of the approaching campaign.
AS these issues are of the utmost import
ance, and should engage tha closest atten
ton of every lover of his country it is to be
hoped that all the candidates will respond
with alacrity.
A failure to do so at this juncture would
look very suspicious, and would lead the
public to believe that they are either
afraid to take up the gauntlet or are ineffi-
cient in regard to the success of the party
that houored them with the nomination.
If there was a time when the voters
needed educating in matters political, it is
the present. New theories have been I'D
vanced and are being vigorously pushed,
which many patriotic and wise statesmen
think will, if allowed to take shape, bring
disaster to the country, and in order to
afford the voters an opportunity to gain
some defiDge information in regard to
them the challenge was issued.
1t now remains with the people to decide
whether they will continue in ignor
ance, or whether they will avail them selves
of this opportunity to become enlightened.
The time for depositing the ballots will
soon be here. Only few weeks are left,
and if the other candidates fail to respond
to the call of patriotism, would it not be
well to arrange for few public meetings
in different parts of the county so that the
voters can have an opportunity to learn
from Mr. Noyes the aims and objects of his
party. ONE WHO IS ANXIOUS TO LEARN.

Progressive EIktOn.

Truly we are progressing at wonderful
rate. Already our homes and business
places are furnished with pure water; soon
our streets will be brilliant with the rays of
electric lights. Our roads are Icing i'm
proved, and fine houses are being erected
Everyw here Old Eiktou, slow and behind
the times, is giving place to New Elkton,
alert and pushing.
But possibly you have heard something
very like this before Then let me point
out another phase of our progress, quite a
plainly visible, but concerning which Der
haps less has been said Anyone walking
the street in the east end of the town on the
morning of September oath, might have
seen d remarkable instance of this progress.
One of our citizens was staggering along,
shouting at the top of his voice, and hurting
stones at boy across the street. AS he
advanced, his tones became more and more
menacing. Women and children in the
yards and on the porches fled to the houses
for protection. Once he stopped, laid down
the missile he was carrying. took from his
pocket a bottle containing some dark fluid
anu i'm bibed rs conrsrrs freely.
Such sights are not rare. 1t is no uncom
mon thing for old men stage, ring toward
their homes in the country to drop down

selves with little nap, while their hoary
heads (alas! anything but crown of glory
are exposed to the sun and rain.
You could not have seen these sights two
years ago. Oh, no, we are progressing. We

Wreck at the Elkton Station.

A broken rail in the switch leading
from the northbound track to Singerly
ware house at the Eikton station partly
derailed two box freight cars on Thurs
day morning.
The accident occurred at 1890 o'clock
as the Perryville and Wilmington way
freight was making up the train. The
forward trucks of one car left the track
derailing the hind truck of the preceding
car. The wrecked cars ran along the cross
ties and and crashed into the station
platform tearing it up for a distant of
ten or fifteen feet and slightly damaging
the watering pipe. The south bound
track was unobstructed and over which
trains in both directions ran with but
little delay toItravel. Wrecking trains
from Wilmington and Perryville were
soon on the scene and the track was
cleared by one o'clock.
