The papers OF this State, as a rule,
are advising the farmers to plant az
large crops Of cotton this year as
they can cultivate. The floods in
the Mississippi valley and the bad
season in Texas, not to speak of the
foreign war, seem to afford good
ground for this advice.

SUIT OYER A CONDUCTORS ERROR.
MISS SHERWOOD CLAIMS TO
HAVE SUSTAINED PERMANENT
INJURIES FROM A SHOCK.


Suit was entered in the Superior
Court this morning against the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company by Miss Dora Sher-
wood, by her next best friend, William
Sherwood, through their counsel. Ar
temas Smith.
The suit is over the mistake of one
of the company's servants, a conductor
on the Delaware railroad train leaving
Wilmington at 4.27 O'Clock p. m. Cne
day last August Miss Sherwood started
down to Wyoming for a visit TO rela-
tives in that town. Plaintiff will claim
that no trainmen called out the sta
ions after leaving Dover. She was only
IA years old and unaccustOmed to trav-
el, and by this error OF the trainmen
she was carried through to Harring-
ton.
Being an entire stranger down the
state, and being informed that she
must wait in the Harrington station
nearly all night, the girl burst out cry
ing and became hysterical. After the
train left her alone in Harrington sta
ton She lost consciousness. This was
at p. m, and the next train up would
not leave before 2.30 a. m. She was
cared for by some Harrington people,
and revived sufficiently to be sent back
to Wyoming at 2.30 in the morning.
Since that eventful night, Miss Sher-
wood has been ATTENDED by four ply
sicians, principally Wilmington doc
tors, but is still i'll with nervous pros
tratiOn at times as a result, the doctors
say, of he shock at Harrington.
