QUICK SHOTS For MAD DoGs.-The
mad dog scare in Wilmington continues
and crusade against suspicious dogs
has been inaugurated. Monday Police
man Gainer had an exciting battle
with four dogs that were supposed
to be mad, and he killed three of them.
His ammunition being exhausted he
attacked the fourth dog with his club,
but before he killed it the animal bit
him on the left hand. % dogs sup
posed to be mad have been killed.
Senator Voorhees, wants State Banks
but wants them under governmental
supervision and inspection" We can
not see where this would make any
improvement over our present system,
and if we are to have our banks under
government supervision we might as
we'll continue them as National instead
of State Banks. In States whose imam
cial legislation is unsOund there is in
adequate security which in it itself is
an important objection to State Bank
system.
COMING SESSION OF NEW CASTLE
COURT.--The Court of General Sessions
will convene on September 18 in Will
mington and few days later the Court
of Oyer and Teminer and the superer-
ior Court will settle down to business.
1t is thought that the business at this
term will be heavy. Atterney-G
eral John r. Nicholson was in town
yesterday preparing indictments for
presentation to the grand jury. At
this time it looks as if there would be
nearly 100 indictments. There will be
two capital cases before the Court of
Oyer and Teminer.
While there are said to be nearly a
million men out of employment in the
country at the present time, no individ-
ual, man or woman or child, who
wants work on this peninsula to-day,
need be idle. Perhaps the farmers
have never been so busy before. They
have peaches, tomatoes and fodder all
on at once, and they are at work from
before daylight to long after sundown
trying to save their crops. A dollar a
day is paid for labor and it cannot be
had for that. Most of the laboring
people are employed, but few of them
will work but two or three days a
week.
He SKIPPED.-The good people of
Bridgeville are determined that by no
lack of efforts on their part shall a
hotel be licensed there to sell intoxicat-
ing liquors. 1t will be remembered
that John F. Thawley, of that town,
last winter applied to Judge Cullen for
fractional license and last spring he
made application to the court in re.
gular session. In both cases after a
carful hearing with legal advisers on
both sides he was refused. On Friday
week he was arrested on charges of
selling liquor without license, and
being brought before Squire Thompson
of Georgetown, was held in $4,000
bail in each of six cases for his appear
ance at court Not being able to give
security in Georgetown Constable
Rodrick Reynolds volunteered to ac-
company Thawley to Bridgevile to
procure it there. The result was that
Thawley skipped the town and Con-
stable Reynolds paid his way to George
town on the railroad the next day.
As the proof of guilt appeared con
elusive the tax payers of Sussex may
congratulate themselves on the ening
of the case as it now is.
