REGULAR REPUBLICANS SPEAK.
LIGHTS OF THE HIGGINS FACTION

URDAY.

LIGHTS OF THE HIGGINS FACTION
VISITED NEW CASTLE ON SAT-
URDAY.
The Red Mems Hall was packed al
most to suffocation on Saturday night
when the regular Republicans held
their first ratification meeting and rail-
lied around the Higgins standard The
stage was prettily decorated and col
ored band banged away at some SOusa
marches and Hall Quicksteps, each in
strumentalist endeayoring to drown out
his side partner.
When the speakers entered there was
light applause, mingled with Kisses
that showed the high tension of feeling
existing between the two Republican
factions in New Castle. William c.
Spruance, John c. Higgins, Robert G.
Houston, Hugh G. Browne, Fred e. Bach
and Speaker H. II. McMullen were on
the platform among a crowd of colored
men when the meeting began. About
sixty colored women, many of whom
had friends in the band, occupied the
front seats. The white men crowded In
behind.
In the midst of Mr.. Spruance's pol
ished address on the gold standard and
Constitutional Convention, some Ad-
dicks men in the rear began coarse
jests and cat-calls that finally brought
the meeting to an abrupt end. There
were yells of "I'il bet there amt thirty
Republicans in the hOuse!' and "Gei
the Addicks men and Democrats out ci
here and you can hold the meeting on
the stagel" and "A pretty Republican
you arei" together with some very un-
gentlemanly remarks to Mr. Bach, who
is not generally worshiped in New Cas-
tie.

WITH PLOTTING TO DISFRAN-
CHISE VOTERS.
DOVER, Del, Oct. 1S.-The Addicks
Republican leaders, through Robert
Polk and Harry Sullivan, colored, filed
affidavits a few minutes before the reg
istration boards adjourned Saturday
urging that 149 of the most prominent
and influential Democrats of East
Dover hundred be stricken from the
registration books.
The affidavit claimed that the per-
sons named had not complied with the
registration laws. Some of the men
are on the Democratic ticket and others
prominent business men. The affidavits
were only submitted in the two dis
tricts where the Republicans have a
majority of the board.
Polk was arrested on the charge OF
perjury and was held in default of bail
He stated that he did not know any
thing about the matter, but was told
to do so as he did by the Addicks men
He had an affidavit issued for Beniaf
Watson and John b. Wharton, whom
he charged managed the matter. Wat
son was arraigned and gave bail.

GRABBED ONE FROM COMPANY A.
Columbia A. C.'s new football team
succeeded in defeating New Castles
rival of last year-Company A, n G.
d., in a lively but close game at Bat
terry Park on Saturday afternoon. The
score was G to 0 and the home players
seemed delighted that their first game
resulted in a victory. Parts of the
game were spoiled by some slugging,
which some young football players
seem to think is a part of the game.
They did not realize on Saturday how
cowardly this looks to a spectator.
Football promises to be we'll patronized
this season.

In tho East, Lima beans are much
raised in New Jersey. Tie natural
home of the Lima bean is in warm
countries and they require a long sea.

sou should be shortened by the selec.

and giving more attention to cultiva-
ton. Light, quick soils are best.
Soils naturally sandy and loose but
enriched with manure in previous
years, arc excellent, especially if they
have warm exposure. The soil
should also be dry. Course, raw manure
should be avoided as il tends to make
too rank and late a growth. If fortil-
lzc1 is applied tho year in which beans
arc planted, it should be such as will
become available very quickly and
tend to hasten maturity OF the crop.
Concentrated fertilizers, those espe.
cially r,ch in potash and phosphoric
acid and with low per cent. of nitro.

pull out all but three or four. Poles
should not he over six feet high as on
longer poles the vines run too high
and grow too late. Clipping back tho
who's is unnecessary when strong fer.
tillzcrs are withheld. The California
practice OF bean growing varies greatly
in that the crop IS not infrcqucntly
rnisci from planting TO harvesting
without n shower. Machine planters
plant two 60 four rows at n time, forty
inches apart. Instead of setting poles.
the plants grow over and completely
cover the ground. Tho plants are cnt

reason to believe that the farm hon
sho.!i be the most profitable OF all
hens if her efforts to do a man a good
turn were only guided by an inte..
ligent and attentive hand. Because
of lack OF any suspicion that the hen
would ever be the means of making
him any money, the farmer permits
her TO shift for herself under all cir
cumstances. TO be sure, some farmers
have a building they call henhouse,
but it generally leaks in summer and
is bleak place in winter. 1t is not a
place for comfort nor health. Conse.
quently the hens do not do good work.
They run to the open cribs often and
get too fat for laying eggs. A little
every day attention would remedy all
these things. There is nothing like
giving the hens a chance. Give the
hen clean, dry quarters, plenty of
good exercise regularly, the right kind
of food, and make her comfortable
generally, and you have u machine
that will turn you out more money on
the investment than any other on tho
farm. The only question is will you
do it?--Nebraska Farmer.
