A DastardlY Affair.

The negroes of this vicinity are TAX
ing the town as it were besides the
usual amount of drunkenness which
goes on every Saturday night, two
cases have been brought before Squire
Cooper, one for assault and battery and
the other for disorderly conduct.
The former, however, has occasiOned
deep interest, as well as incensed the
many friends Of the plaintiff.
On last Friday night Frank Webb
and Harry Grieves started down the
street for their homes not suspecting
anything of the nature of an assault,
Frank Webb left Mr.Grievs at his front
gate and saying goodnight, proceeded
on his way toward the mill pond. He
had not proceeded hundred yards be-
fore he met two negroes, one passed
by and the other, William Whitaker
by name, without the least provocatiOn,
drew back his fist and let fire a heavy
blow in Webb's face. On the impulse
of the moment Webb jumped into him,
both clinched each other and went to
the pavement. Webb cried for Grieves,
who was at that time shutting his shut
ters, at the same time keeping the
other fellow at bay with the threat that
| he would shoot him if he came a STEP
further. Responding to Webb's assist
ance Grieves set in pursuit of the other
negro whom Whitaker was also call
ing. The negro escaped and ran VI
the dark lane on the left of Grieve'!
residence. Webb by this time had his
negro under control and was beating
him in the face until he bled prOfusely
The vicious negro was taken to thu
lookup and incarcerated until the tria
should come off the next morning. A
the appointed time Saturday morning
Whitaker was brought out and tn
case heard by Squire Cooper, who hel'
Whitaker in default of $25000 Tail 70
his appearance at court. He was take
to Dover Monday.
The motive for the assault could no
be brought ont at the trial, as no word
were said before the frsC blow, but
is natural to presume that robbery wa
the incentive, for Mr.. Webb is a Quie
, iGoffensiVe citizen and is respected b
every one in town. Such affairs as th

Sunday at the M. E. Church

Rev. II. II. Haynes filled the pulpit
of the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing in the absence of the pastor, who
preached for Rev Mr.. Hynson, at
Union Church on Appoquinimink
circuit. He had for his subject "The
Visit of Paul to Athens as u Mission.
ary." In first portraying Athens in the
high civilization it had reached, its
high art in sculpture, painting, ,architic-
ture, schools of philosophy and multi
form systems of idolatry, the speaker
showed an eruditOn and cOmpactness
of grouping that Is not often heard
from the pulpit. The fact that Paul
could go there a complete stranger and

invited not only to the Forum but to
ascend the sixteen steps TO Mars Hill,
where, taking advantage of the fact
they had erected an altar to every
known deity,in their excess of idolatry
erecting one to the unknown God "
declaring that "he whom you igno-
rantly worship declare | unto you, !"
was a master-stroke of tact aud ability
in getting before their attention the
superior claims which he could present

has continued to bring peace, prosper
ity and happiness to the people of that
State.
There had been, ne said, four dis
tinct epochs in the effort at temper
ance reform. The first was in the
direction of moderation,-nOtt to drink
to excess or intOxication. The first
known temperance organization of this
character was in 1908. 1t was good as
far as it went. The second, was the
reformation of the drunkard, in what
was know as the Washingtonian move
ment, in 1910. The speakers were
mostly reform drunkards, and it looked
at one time as if they would sweep the
country, but it ended in about 95 per
cent of them because of the temptation
of the saloon ,relapsing into their former
habits. The the third epoch was desig
mated the Prohibition, and the fourth,
| the Legislative, or the suppression of
the traffic by legislative enactment.
| He contended that laws enacted against
| the liquor traffic were as effective as
laws against any other evil where it has
an equal chance. Where prOhibitOry
laws had been a failure it was because
their enforcement was by State Of
ficers who were determined to make
them such. Instances were given in
Maryland and elsewhere, where its en-
forcement was in the hands of its
enemies, who would first make it, and
then proclaim it a failure. And then
the Federal government was in the
business of multiplying State laws by
granting in Prohibition States by the
payment Of a $25 license to sell liquO
-1400 of them. When church mem
bers and others vote to give enactment
in regard to the sale of liquor an equa
chance in their enforcement with Othe
laws, the point aimed at will be virtu
ally reached.

In the parlOr where they were mar

with holly, arbOr vita branches and

Each plant was bearing its Easter
bloom, while at each corner of the
chimney stood tall graceful calla l;llies.
The pictures around the room received
embellishments of holly, and in fact
the whole parlOr was a scene of taste
full decorations. Promptly at l.30 Pm.
