SEWERS AND PAVED STREETS.

Editor Daily Press:
The kecouglteln branch OF the Chau-
.,iCQua Literary and Scientific Circle
have begun their work for 1898 with re-
neWsd zeal. The Town Improvement
Society Econnecteli with tlis >eircle have
as yerA done Sly little real work, but
eaehersiss:aDer of the hauita uqsla Circle is
very muclh interested In our good -oid
Il wn ard WISHES to do all in their power
TO make Hampton the most beautiful
and healthful town on the Peninsula.
1t is hard to bad utify a town with shade
trees when the streets are SO narrow
that there is no room tor trees to grow.
and yet our narrow streets proclaim
that The town is old, for the good pgo-
pie who settled here in 1910 never Lnce
thought that the citizens of Kecoiughtan
would ever have electro cars rushing
through the streets.
Since the streets are narrow it Will
De all the easier to keep them cls an, for
there is not so large an arsa to be swept
70 sweep the streets in their present
condition is imEI sSible; SO we very much
nse'i' to have them paved. But before
the size are paved the town should be
provided with suita BILE system of sew
erage. We couid. not state just what
would be a practical system of sewer
ags, nor how the means to acd Gnplish
it can be obtained, but we do know that
our town council and our board OF ssl-
pei NISoIS are All progressive men, ana
as members OF the Ghetto uqua Circle,
and alaN as residents of Hampton. we
beg these gentlemen to overcome all OBJ
stacles and give Us these improvements
OF propeT sewerage and clean streets
The gentlemen do not know how trying
it is 10 lady's patience to come home
from a walk down, the street and finlll the
skirts of her new dress all spattered
With mud from a vehicle that passed
her as she was walking on the side
walks
We would also ask the business men
and property holders not to grumbfe and
sing The old song of enormous taxes
when the t-wn council are doing all
they can for the gocj' of the town. We
know full we'll that not many OF the
ladies pay any taxes, but the ladies
would look upon it as a most accepta Bile
present from the men, IF Hampton If
they cUuid walk on a good. clean pave
ment. Anyway. wouldn't it be better
for the town to put down sonnet hing
that was going to stay instead of rut-
ting d'EWn two or three cart loads of
oyster shells one month and the next
month carting them off again with the
mud? We wish old Hampton a most
PROSPEROUS New Year and we hope that
1888 VIII be remembered in history as
the time when Hampton was most PITS
porous anal many improvements made.

oLEoMARGARihE MEN BAILED
Writ Of Error Sued Ont In the Case Of vii.
kins and Butler
The Course Followed the One Usually
Adopted ton Legal Purposes
Of Delay.

The announcement IN the morning papers
that Joseph Wilkins sand Howard Butler,
who were sentenced In Philadelphia Thurs
day to fines Of 81 500 and $500 and ELK and
four months imprisonment, respectively,
for violations Of the oleomargar1ne laws.
had been admitted to bail pending the hear
ing Of arguments upon a writ Of error by
the United States Court Of Appeals in Sep
tember occasioned much comment among
the market and commission men today.
Owing to the apparent ease with which
vioiators Of the oleomargurine laws anc
regulations have heretofore monaged to
escape punishment, the opinion was freely
expressed that the same result would be
recorded in the case of wilkins and Butler,
This idea, however, was shown to be found
ed upon error. The course followed by the
attorneys OF the two men in SUNG ou; a
writ OF error charging inSufhciency OF the
indictments under which they were con-
Victed and sentenced il the usual one taxi
en-. Convicted defendants in criminal cases,
where they can afford it. almost invariably
exhaust all the opportunities afforded them
by the laws and the rules of court pro-
cedure before submitting to the original
sentence that might have been imposed
upon them.
During the trial of Wilkins and Butler an
attempt was made to attack the sufticiency
OF the Indictment. but it proved futile The
United States Court OF Appeals will listen
to arguments in September, and lawyers
familiar with the case thus far ale OF the
opinion that the technical objections to be
urged before it will not be strong enough
to cause the action Of the lower court to be
overruled.
Wilkins and Butler, who have been in
Jail in Philadelphia since their conviction.
March l, were released yesterday on bail
In 5000 and $500, respectively.
