There is considerable difference in
the old and new method of corn plant
ing. Formerly "crosser" with two
horses a drOpper and two cOverers, with
hoes, would put in about eight acres a
day, sometimes by pushing getting an
acre or two more. With the new
machinery that marks out, drops and
covers the corn, a man and two horses
can get over twenty acres a day, and
John Price, overseer for W. o. Hof-
fecker, says he planted % acres in a
single day.

ELECTION CANVASS OF KENT COUNTY
ORDERED BY COURT.
The Case Appealed to the Court of Errors
June I5th,

Inc Ease Appealed 10 the Court OF Errors
June l5;h.
The Superior Court of this county
Chief Justice Lore and Justices Cullen
and Marvil sitting, Thursday awarded
the peremptory writ of mandamus
prayed for by the Union Republicans
of this county, compelling the inspeo-
tors of the county to convene as a
board of canvass and certify to the cleo
tiOn returns of last November.
The respondents at once took writ
of error and the case will be disputed
in the Court of Errors and Appeals,
June 18th.
The court in awarding the writ ig-
nored as settled and unworthy of furth-
er consideration the contentious that
the inspectors had met, canvassed the
vote and given certificates of election,
and also that the board of canvass as
such no longer existed, its life being
co-existent only with the date of the
performance of its duties.
1t devoted all its attention to the
third contention, namely, that the act
OF April 16, 1897, repealed the act pro-
viding for the board of canvass and
created a new board, comprised of the
Associate Judge, the Sheriff and the
Register of Wills of each county.
Its conclusion herein is that mo ret
respective operation can be given to an
act unless the act plainly and unmis-
takably so declares" and that if the
provisions of the act of April 16, 1898,
''were expressly retroactive in terms,
which they are not, it would in our
judgement clearly be unconstitutional
and therefore nulity."
LoRE's ELOQUENT DECISION.
Chief Justice Lore grew eloouent as
he delivered the decision, and declared
IN conclusion:-

" ASSISTED0 EMIGRANTS.

If CRIME is not on the decrease
in England and few other civ
ilized European countries it is
positively not the fault Of those
countries or the good people resid-
ing therein. Among Europeans
our country in general is looked
upon much in the same light as
we now view the golden Klondike.
It is a paradise for unsuccessful
foreigners, and unfortunately this
is being taken advantage of by the
good people of Europe who are
firmly Of the belief that the thugs
Of their country can best be re-
formed by ''assisting'' them to
reach America. It is an open
secret that thousands of incor-
rigible ex-convicts reach this
country annually by and with the
aid Of philanthropical associations
in Europe. They are "assisted"
to a better life in a new country.
In simplifed English, they are
turned into fresh pastures to ply
their calling in the hope that if
caught, one term in an American
prison will effect what several
terms in European bastiles failed
to do. We are speaking merely Of
the worst classes "assisted' to
America. There are many others
who, no doubt, make excellent
citizens when they once get foot
ing in this country. But it is only
reasonable to infer that Europeans
will not be influenced by charit-
able sentimentality to aid in pay
ing the passage to America of their
better class Of citizens. We have
had a chance to personally in
vestigate this matter and know for
a fact that we speak the truth in
saying that both England and
France take advantage Of the
Assisted Emigrant'' scheme to
get rid Of many of their worst
criminals; the United States and
Canada are the dumping grounds
for the system.

A WHISKY LADEN BREATH.

IT IS unnecessary to produce a
temperance lecture to effect a view
of some Of the dire results that
always follow the life Of sot.
Whisky is good thing-good in
its place. So too is dynamite:
prussic acid, and arsenic. All Of
these are, practically, necessities
as much so as salt and water. The
great thing is to know how and
when to handle them. That is the
main trouble with whisky. Most
men have an idea that they can
handle, or rather stomach, spirits
and remain master Of themselves:
usually whisky assumes the mas
terry after a very few rounds. You
can never learn whisky without
permanent injury to your moral or
physical makeup. It is very true
that there are those who drink
without any apparent injury to
health or worldly standing. But
they are very few, comparatively;
and most Of them admit that had
they not been addicted to the
liquor habit their worldly standing
and wealth would be greatly en-
HANGED. They may live to be
ninety or one hundred years old,
and in some rare cases enjoy ex-
traordinary good health; but you
will rarely, if ever, find any such
with property showing for their
years Of toll. You may have
health and whisky, or health and
property, but you will never see
all three combined, and only in
isolated cases, in rare exceptions
will you meet two of them COM

EDITOR LANGUM, in the last
issue of the Preston Times very
modestly calls the attention of his
readers to the fact that the Times
has entered Volume 80. It may
be very truthfully said of the
Times that it is among the best
edited of the country publications
reaching this office. It always
has a bright editorial page and a
large amount Of local matter. We

THE WORLDS PULSE.

HE WHO reads must learn; he
who reads the newspapers of the
day has the combined experience
of the successful and the misfor-
tunate to guide him. From some
quarters we occasionally hear a
muttered complaint about sensa-
tional journalism and it's dire
effects. But where is there any
business or calling entirely free
from black sheep? And to the
credit Of the yellow" journalists
it may Justly be said that in dish
ing up sensationalism they are
but satisfying the morbid cravings
of large class of readers. True,
such class would be greatly ben
Gifted by not having their de-
PRAYED mental craving catered to:
but "business is business" holds
good with the newspaperman as
much so as with the sensational
pulpit orator. We may soar into
ecstatic flights of oratorical de-
liria in describing the thorough
unselfishness Of those ever seeking
the betterment of their fellows;
but when we return to terra frma
again line Of very pertinent facts

mercial end Of their enterprises
their power for good would quickly
wane. On the same principle we
happily look forward to better life
but to reach such we are taught
that we must take most scrupu-
lous care Of our body while on
earth. We must feed, nourish
and keep it in clearly condition.
1t would not suffice to be an ex-
ceptionally moral man and allow
oneself to die from hunger that
one might the sooner reach a
heavenly reward. That would not
do at all. No moral precept could
be interpreted to condone such
act. Yet, we still believe that this
earthly existence is a mere pre-
face to eternal life; that it is the
''purely business" end Of a spirit
ual destiny
In Judging newspaper we must
give due credit to the business
end, to the very life blood of the
paper. We find that the most en-
terprising publishers command the
best talent because they can pay
for it. This talent is given to the
readers daily, weekly and monthly
for a merely nominal cost. The
man who is a close student of our
daily press receives an education
Of more worldly value to him than
are collegiate literary frills to the
average graduate. The press may
truly be called the pulse of the
world. It throbs with the afflicted
and with the happy; with the un-
fortunate as with the prosperous.
From every condition of life it
lays before us a warning or a les
son of emulation. It is the very
heart blood and guide of the
masses; the friend of the oppressed,
and the most powerful enemy the
Oppresser has to contend with. It
contains information that can be
gotten in such detailed form from
no other source. The person who
reads the daily and weekly pub

book will receive more general
benefit from it than from the

upon as unreal; papers, on the
contrary, impress US strongly for
the reason that they are true re-
fex of actual occurrences. The
lessons they teach are fresh-pul-
sating with the life of our actual
surroundings. The man who does
not help to support the press and
forward it's good work is not to be
trusted, he is naturally vicious and
detests the glare of truth.

that whisky is not as harmful as
it is claimed. Take young man

adequate reason is ever given;
your services will not be required,
young man. concludes the inter-
view
It is an open secret that our
distillers and brewers do not want
drinking man for any of their
trusty positions. They have COL
lectors and travelling statesmen who
drink moderately as a matter of
business. But let any of these men

An upright man prides himself
upon never willingly doing aught
that he need be ashamed of. Then
why is it necessary to take lemon

after whisky? One cannot be
proud Of being a whisky-drinker

But when among our relatives or
associates who command our hon.
est respect we are sincerity ashamed
and afraid of being recognized as
tipplers. Nobody doubts this lat

keeper. The thoughtful barkeep
will usually emphasize the truth
of this statement if he knows you
intimately by reminding you "to
take a piece Of lemon, Jack, so
the old man wont get a Whit O.
your breath"
We might go on at some length
to recall many instances wherein a
whisky-laden breath has compelled
us to keep a distance from en-
ployers or relatives, but it is I'M
necessary. All are willing to
admit that whisky-drinking has
caused more disaster to individuals
than all other foolish habits COM
bined. No matter how loath
person may be to give up the
habit, none of it's devotees ever
speak in favor Of it's continuance.
Their own slavery and lack of will
power is tacitly admitted every
day by the sneaking manner in
which the habit is shielded by the
tipplers who still retain a little
self-respect.
