GENERAL ASSEMBL LYMEN
The Executive Committee Now
Apportioning the Seven.
NEW CASTLE MAY BE LEFT OUT.

Diachbird Hundred Left Out Because Its
Turn Came Last Year-New Castle Has
Had Representation for Many Years
Past.
The New Castle County Democratic
Executive Committee met in the rooms
Of the Young Mems Democratic Club this
afternoon. Chairman Willard salisbury
presided Nearly all the members were
present.
The object Of the meeting was to ap-
portion the Legislative places on the
ticket There are only eight places--one
senator and seven representatives. This
meant that four Of the hundreds would
have to be left out in the cold on the
Legislative branch.
Wilmington claimed the senator and one
representative, and the rural committee
men conceded the claim This left but
six places for the ten hundreds outside,
all being in the lower branch Of the Gen
eral Assembly.
When the committee met IL was the
general belief that the hundreds to be
left out would be New Castle Black
bird, White Clay Creek and Christiana
The friends of this plan gave the FOL
lNNiNk ItNnNNn.
New Castle has had representatives for
many years, and all of the other hundreds
have been out since IL was. In addition
to this it has man on the ticket for
sheriff
Blackbird had place on the last ticket
when Richard Brockson ran for the
senate and was defeated, together with
/ the Democratic candidates throughout
the county. II was not, consequently,
a case wherein Blackbird was overlooked
but failure Co elect after the appor-
tionment was made.
The same thing, it was claimed might
truly be said concerning White Clay
Creek and Christiana They have had
places on the ticket for long time.
Rural Districts object.
To this plan some Of the rural commit
teemen, particularly those from Black
bird hundred objected. They claimed
that Blackbird hundred only lost its rep
resentation by the failure of the
rest of the county to carry it through
As for Blackbird hundred, it did itl
duty. To emphasize this objection they
said that while Blackbird would, unde
such ruling. have no representation
Appoquiuimink hundred would hav
both the comptroller and a representa-
tive ia the General Assembly

system of producing rain hv the use
of chemicals in the air while at II
temperature of 50 10 60 degrees. He
is confident 1t can he operated success
fully here, SD far that his company
bears all the expense If no rain Is
produced. His proposition is to pro-
ducc test ruins AT any gwen point the
coming summer for 5000. or to sell
the secret of producing rain in Il dis
trict of 5 or 10 counties to stock com
pany for $l7.5OO. the first named
amount to be deducted from the $l7.-

are To cover an area Of from 20 To 80
miles wide and 80 to 80 long. produc-
ing from 3! to u inches OF rainfall
No rain, no pay. II three districts
are formed in the State the company
will furnish one trial rain in each dis
trict in May or June this year.
Three districts were formed, COM
prising the following counties:
First-SuIly, Hughes, HYDE, Hand,
