reputation TO he sharp, shrewd, far
sighted business nun who never invests
without he sees the object he desires

these Sussex leaders that he must have
some substantial pledge from the legis'

up" the necessary funds. Without
money they could not win, with money
there was possibility.
They came home and pressed into
service all their teams and started to see
the candidates. Election day was draw
Ing close and quick work must be done.
They worked hard. Two Of their can.
didates were unwilling to give the
pledge, and one was little slow in
doing SO. After nearly an all-night
consultation with these two unwilling
ones, with constant persuasion they
finally pledged themselves, and at 3
o'clock Sunday morning SUNDAY before
the election) they called the telegraph
operator at Georgetown up and sent
this telegram to Mr.. Addicks: "Iour
proposition is accepted. Will go to
Wilmington on Norfolk express from
Seaford and meet you in Wilmington
early Monday morning"
Two of them Zone of them candidate
on the tickeD went TO Wilmington on
the Norfolk express from Seaford, Sun
day night, and Monday on the noon
train brought tho "boodle" $4,000,
which Mr.. Addicks furnished. They
were met at the Georgetown station by
two teams to convey them and their
precious boodle' to headquarters,
In tie meantime Senator Higgins had
sent them $4,000 by George II. Hollis,
who reached here at about 4.30 O'clock,
Monday morning. Mr.. Addicks then
added $4,000 more to his contribution

Such reports led to an Investigation by
one who has made study Of the dairy
business for 20 years and the visit was u
pleasant one, as Mr.. Ashton is very
sociable and kind in explaining the diff
ferent breed of cows he has, with names
for each one and those names are gem
orally selected from the ladies of diff
ferent parts of the county, and by this
little device he can name the former

they run in style and beauty; next he
conducted us to his silo where he has
an Immense quantity Of provinder, but
at present is but feeding little of it; his
main feed being beets, OF which he has
about three-quarters of an acre planted
and estimated to yield As tons per acre.
The enormous size Of the beets are sort
of discreditable for one to say they
weigh as high as 40 pounds each, but
such is true by actual weight. Mr.. Ash
ton claims that beets are due to his sue
cess in great manner, as his cows give
more and better grade OF; milk from
beets and small quantity of bran than
any other feed he ever used and ut

Conductor Frank Rogers, of the Will
mington s. Northern Railroad, had an
exciting tussle with a colored ruifian on
Saturday night. The fellow got on at
Wilmington and presented an old ticket
which had boen used and punched be-
fore. The conductor objected to it, and
said his passenger must pay fare or leave
the train. With this the passenger as.
sumed an attitude of defence, saying
that the conductor would have trouble
in putting him off. Such defiant chal-
lenge was at once accepted, and the
plucky conductor, graphing with his
antagonist. rolled him over and over on
the floor. Finally the offender was put
off, and the last Conductor Rogers saw
of him he was rolling down an embank-
meut. minus hat and coat.

Republicans Abandon the idea of Takin

the six Representatives in Kent County.
DOVER, Nov. 19.--All the talk that
has been current for the past week To
the effect that the Republicans would
contest the election in this county will
probably end with nothing being done;
at least that is what ii looks like at
present. A prominent Republican, and
one who is in a position to know what
is going on "behind the SCENES" said
Saturday afternoon that nothing would
be done by his party leaders, and that
no contest would take place. This
seems to be the general opinion at pres
ent, and whatever more had been pre-
viously planned, has been abandoned.
If the Republicans had contested the
election here the Democrats in Sussex
county would very likely have re-
taliated by doing the same thing in that
county, and any one conversant with
affairs down there knows that the
reasons for contest are much better
than any the Republicans could possibly
invent here. The wiser heads in both
parties have not and do not now favor
a contest, and it is likely that the matter
will be discussed no longer.

COMMITTEE REPORT.
Chief Justice Lore next called upon
Judge Ball for the report of the execu-
tive committee. The latter, who is
chairman Of the committee, said they
had not had time to completely formu-
late their report. Yet what they have
done will be an excellent basis Tor iegis-
lative enactment.
First, it is the unanimous opinion of
the committee that ii any comprehensive
and lasting good is to be accomplished
1t can only be by the total doing away
with the old jail. 1t should not be re-
built nor should money be spent upon
it. Ii has served all the purpose it can
and now must go. Next the remedy is
State workhouse. Here Judge Ball
restated the pertinent points of what is
known as the Cooch bill, which called
for a workhouse but made no provision
whatever for its being built. Its two
main objects were to make the prisoners
earn their support and build roads.
The executive committees idea is for
q New Castle county workhouse, with
three commissioners. The committee
recommends that all prisoners sentenced
by the court be sent to the workhouse.
All bids for workhouse needs should be
| advertised the committee thought the
proper time for the law to take effect
would be the expiration of the present
sheriff's term. The prisoners should
perform different varieties of work. The
| committee also recommended some
species of suitable work for female
1 prisoners.
In commenting on what had been
offered, the Rev. Dir. Keigwin suggested
that the prisoners, in addition, to the
work, be required To aid their families,
and that any excess of earnings be sent
the unfortunate wife of the prisoner.
Judge Ball stated that the committee
had that matter under consideration.
In commenting upon the matters dis
cussed Daniel w. Taylor said: $50
ciety, of which we are part, must be
protected against the criminal This j:
one side Of the subject, and if you viii
examine carefully you will find the
other just as Important. 1t is of tht
welfare Of the man or the woman whom
you have excluded from society"
Chief Justice Lore spoke in favor o
the proposed changes on the ground o
economy and humanity. He said thu
shertfs of this county are paid three
times as much as they should receive.

that Wilmington was too slow for them
Sunday, and after scraping together the
princely sum of 50, they shook the dust
of the city from their heels and boarded

The winds of fate outbore;

Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river,

With wistful eyes looks over
10 the one far out to sea.
The one that rides the biliow,
Though sailing far and feet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
10 the harbor safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
OF the moss-grown shaded shore;
One signs that it may enter
The harbor never more. g
One wearies of the dangers
OF the tempest's rage and wall;
