ENDEAvoRING TO ORGANIZE A BRANCH
IN THIS TOWN.
The G.. A. r. Post of this town is
endeavoring with all the earnest zeal
they can, to organize Sons of Vet
eran Post in this town. Soon the
Grand Army men of the country will
pass away. Each year their ranks are
getting smaller and smaller and unlike
other organizations, they have no one
to take their place. Hence their only
way to perpetuate the name and order
is to form a Sons of Veteran Camp.
They are now extending an invitation
to all the young sons of the veterans
in this town. They held meeting
last Friday night. with this interest in
view. They must have charter mem
bership of fifteen. As soon as they
can get this number they will effect a
permanent organization. Mr.. W.
Penn Wilson, of Townsend, is an ap-
plicant, and writes the following letter:

The Milford Herald, whose editor,
f. T. Cooper, Familiarity known as
'Zeke," " (and it is hard to pick up an
other title) has an editorial on ''Brib-
cry" admitting that it has been the
custom for years for both parties to
buy votes, but Addicks, an unknown
name in Delaware a dozen years ago
below Naaman's Greek, had beaten
them at their own game, says:
Therefore 1t was eminently proper
and patriotic for our Constitutional
Convention and our Legislative body
to adopt measures that will make it
impossible for this heinOus influence
to further apply its rascally and cor
rupting influence over the people of
this land.
We speak authOratively when we
say that the Democratic leaders of this
State do not intend to spend a dollar
to buy a vote, but will prosecute to
the bitter end every man who shall
attempt to violate the laws that now
exist in this respect. The Herald will
assist in bringing about this much
needed reform.

past several until it's results have be-
come disappointing and Improbable,
and without a remedy must die out.
Mr.. Woods discovery, if such itmay
prove to others, is very simple entire
ly matter of seed. Like other grow
ers he got his seed from the Gamers,
which came from distant growers, clean
and perfect in appearance. When his
plants became affected two years ago
by the blighting of the leaves from no
cause that he could see, the thought
occurred to him that it might after all
be in the seed, and if so, the remedy
was in a measure, in his own hands.
So last year he pulled some of his own
raising for seed-the largest and best
ON the stalks near the ground-and
put the plants from these seed in the
same patch with those obtained from
the Gamer. Now note the result: the
plants have been vigorous and the
yield taU0-thirls more than the plants
along side of them grown from foreign
seed.
Since writing the above, we learn,
that if as Mr.. Wood states, others who
have done the same as he did, have not
had the same result. Thus, Jas. w.
Anthony did the same thing last year,
that is, save seed from his own patch,
but he finds no difference this summer
in the blight from plants from his own
seed and those obtained from the
packer. Hot weather it is shown, has
much to do with the blight, and the
best yield thus far reported this year
about eight tons per acre-is from a
patch that the careful farmer would call
filthy-grown up with weeds high
enough to protect the tomato vines
from the hot rays of the sun.

Stop nv Paper.

After you get angry and stop your
paper, just poke your finger into water,
pull it out, and look at the hole. Then
you will know how sadly you are
missed. A man who thinks a paper
cannot thrive without his support,
ought to go off and stay awhile. When
he comes back, half his friends will
not know he had gone and the other
half will not care, while the world at
large kept no account of his move
ments. You will find things you can
not endorse in every paper. The Oh
serUer is often very plain and hits
some hard raps, but if you were to get
mad and burn your Bible, the hun
dreds of presses would still go on
printing it. So when you stop your
paper and call the editors names, the
paper will still be published, and what
is more, you will read it on the sly

TOMATO CONTRACTS.

Welearn from our Gamers that the
tomato pack this year will be but
about one-third of that usually put up.
This comes from the failure, or partial
failure of the crop, not only in Della
ware, but in all the adjoining States.
1t has not been from a deficiency of
rain, as is mostly the case when there
is a shortage, for July and August
gave us much more than the usual
amount, but from blight hastened by
scalding and depollenizing rains in
July. From this fact, the short pro-
duct, there has arisen serious trouble
between the farmers and the Gamers,
because of the greatly advanced prices
in the cities. Baltimore paid last week
25 cents a basket. In FELTON, and
other places below, where contracts
were made with the growers at from
$500 to 5000 per ton, the packers
have entered suit for fruit not deliv-
cred, but sold, to go to the city mar
kets, one day five cars and the next
three
''But in this matter of contracts,
whether it be on the part of the farmer
to deliver the tomato product at fixed
price per ton, or on the part of the
Gamer to receiVe that specific product
and pay therefor a certain stipulated
sum; it is equally binding, on both
the farmer and the Gamer, the seller
and the buyer. 1t is a legal obligation,
binding both, the one to deliver and
the other to receive and pay for, and
both can be held to the contracts. Il
one fails, the one to deliver, or the
other to receive and pay for, then the
terms of the contract can be enforced
by an appeal to the courts. 1t is q
moral obligation as WE'LL"
1T must be remembered, further,
that the Gamer has bound himself
under just such a contract to deliver
the tomatoes canned to the iobber at q
fixed price; the iObber is bound by just
such a contract to sell to hotels and
restaurants and other dealers at fixed
price; a complete chain from the pro
ducer or grower to the ultimate con
sumner. If the farmer fails, therefore
to deliver his tomatoes, the chain ii
broken and untold loss, to Gamer
iObber, and dealer is the result.

1T is a matter of note, evincing a
hearty interest in defence of public
morality that the papers of both Sus-
sex and Kent counties have spoken
out decidedly against the innovation of
Sunday excursion trains, The recent
one starting from this town, having
its terminus at campmeeting ON the
new Queen Anne's road, has given rise
to the criticism, being the first Sunday
train that ever passed over the road.
1t is an innovation which a healthy
conservative sentiment does not en-
dorse. In Wilmington it is otherwise,

ment from there for travel and des-
ecrations of the day.
