DENTON WANTS WATERWORKS

PLANT AND THE DIFFICULTY TN
THE WAY.
Denton, Nd, Nov. 2.-The question
of providing water-works for Denton
has been under discussion for more
than two years. About three years ago
by an act of Assembly, the town COM
missioners were authorized to erect
water-works and issue bonds to pay
for same. The commissioners never ex-
ercised the power. There is now talk
Of several prominent citizens begin
ming the work, and at a recent meeting
of the town board, the exclusive right
to lay water mains and pipes for the
next two years was given to five citi-
zens Of the town. 1t may result that
the town will subscribe to one-hai the
stock and the other one-half go to in
dividuals.
Civil Engineer Hill, of Baltimore,
has made survey Of the town. He
estimates the cost at $12,5OO. It is gen
orally believed that the town cannot
afford to have plant at that cost. On
account Of the system Of drive wells,
from which excellent water is obtain
ed, the town commissioners apprehend
that but a small percentage Of families
would use the water, and consequently
the burden of cost fall on the town,
which would double the tax rate now
imposed on property.
School Examiner Stephens has noti-
fed the teachers of the county of the
formation of a teachers library for the
free use Of teachers in active service.

THE ORIGIN OFF ~YANNEE. /"

Major w. A. Guthrie, Of Durham
says the Charlotte IN. C.) Observer, ii
addition 10 being an able lawyer. an as
tute politician and an admirable gen.
tleman otherwise, is fond of literature
of the best class lie likes to search
through rare books and papers. Some
years ago at the sale of the effects OF
some aged citizen he bought two rusty
looking ybLumes for a mere tritie, along
with other books. On examining the
books he found them to be 'Trave.s
Through the Interior Parts of America,
IN a Series OF Lectures by an Officer OF
the British Army" They are the let
ters CT lieutenant Thomas AuIburey. He
was taken a prisoner at the battle OF
Saratoga during the revolutionary war. /
From there he was sent as a prisoner
TO Boston. and later was marched with
many other prisoners of the British
army. who mad been captured at vars
GUS places. to Charlottesville, Va. Mt
Jones, a large planter bf Virginia, and
a member of the Continental Congress,
had rendered his plantation ana negro
quarters to the congress for a prison
camp. From this plantation Auburey
wrote many of his letters. AN Uhe
prisoners were paroled. This officer
spent his time in riding about the
country around Charlottesville. The
letters were to a friend of mis- in Eng
land. Later the letters were publish
ed in two volumes and were dedicated
to the Earl OF Harrington, Viscnunt
Retersham and colonel OF the Twenty
ninth Regiment of Foot. They begin
August 8, 1875, and run to October 30
1871.
The letters are fun Of interesting and
instructive reading. In volume 2, page
46, written from Cambridge, New Eng
land, November %, 1777, is a history
tf the word Yankee.
Before the revolutionary war the Vir-
glnians called the New EnglandeTs
Yankees; from then TO the civil war
everybody that was not of the New
England States called the New Eng
landers Yankees, and during the civil
war everybody north Of the Mason and
Dixon line was called Yankee.
AS to the word, Lieutenant Auburey
wrote in 1777: ''The lower class Of
these Yankees-apropos, it may not be
amiss here just to observe to you the
etymorogy Of this term is derived 1rom
a Cherokee word, Eankke, which signi-
fies coward and slave. This epithet OF
Yankee was bestowed upon the inhabi-
tants of New England by the Virgin
ians for not assisting Them in war
with the Cherokees, and they have al
ways been i'm derision by it. But the
name has been more prevalent since
the commencement of hostlities; the
soldiers at Boston used it as term OF
reproach; but after the affair at Bunker
Hill the Americans gioried in It.
Yankee Doodle is now their pean, ia
vorite CT favorites, played in their
army. esteemed as warlike as the
'Grenadiers March, It is the looms
speH, the nurses lullaby.
After our rapid successes we neld
the Yankees in great contempt; but 1t
was not q little notifying to hear
them play this tune when their army
marched down to our surrender.
Such is the history of the etymolosy
of the word Yankee"

DEMOCRACY WILL WIN.

Let no man be deceived by the utter
hnces OF State Chairman Hugh c.
Browne or any other Republican or
Addicksite on the probable outcome of
the approaching election. Prior to the
enactment of the registration law, po-
litical leaders had nothing upon which
to base their estimates but the assess
ment lists and reports of conditions
sent in by the workers in the several
wards and hundreds. They we're large
ly speculative and correspondingly un-
certain.
With the enactment OF the registra-
tion law this condition Of uncertainty
has been dispelled. The registration
books afford a certain basis OF calcu-
lation, for a. man who registers almost
invariably votes. In these days wards
and districts are blocked 80 carefully
and; intelligently that the political at
filiation or leaning OF every man IS
known almost to a certainty. The
block books tel which way men will
vote, and the registration books tell
what men have the right to vote. By
comparing the names on the registra-
tion with the corresponding names on
the block books and dividing them
into five columns-Democrats, RepuDM-
cans, Prohibitlonists, Single Takers
and Doubtfuls-it only remains TO ADD
up these columns TO determine the out
come OF the election. This has been
done, and the Democrats have a ma
jority in the state and in each county.
There is no guesswork about IT, Chair
man Biggs and his colleagues on the
Democratic State Central Committee;
Chairman Browne and his colleagues
on the Regular Republican State Com
mittee; Chairman Alice and his col
leagues on the Union Republican State
Committee. and the chairmen OF the
several county committees have all
done this sum Of addition, and in every
instance the result has shown Demo-
cratic majorities from one end OF the
state to the other, those legislative
districts which are designedly Republi-
can being, OF course, excepted, al
though in some of them the Democrats
have a splendid fighting chance. The
manner in which Democrats came out
on the last day Of registration blasted
whatever hopes the Republicans and
Addicksites entertained Of carrying the
state. If every Democrat who is reg
istered will show the same diligence in
voting that he did in registering there
can be no doubt regarding the result
Let Chairman Browne and other
open-mouthed Republican prophets
shut their eyes to cruel registration
facts and prophesy. Let them pol
every man they have on the registra-
tion books. So long as the registered
Democrats are true to themselves ant
true to their party, the issue cannot b,
doubtful in any particular. They will
elect their congressman, state treas
urer, state auditor, General Assembly
United States senator, Levy Courts il
Kent and Sussex counties and sheriffs
coroners and other county officers ii
an three counties. The registration
books are as they should be, and whei
the polling places close on next Tues
day evening the ballot-boxes will con
tain the votes Of enough true Dela
wareans to give the lie to the preten
tious prophesies Of all those who woul
foist upon Delaware an unholy allianc
OF Higginsism and Addicksism.
