AT the present time 1t looks as If
we were going to have some rain,
which is badly needed amongst the
farmers. This season has been a
most peculiar one. The hay crop
was short, caused by the drought,
then along came the hail storm, de-
stroying the corn and other grow
ing crops. Lucky is the farmer
who can pay his bills in Delaware
this year. A paying peach crop is
almost thing of the past in this
State,

BATTLESHIP KENTUCKY.
Official Trial Trip to be Made OF
New England Coast To-day.

BOSTON. Nov, 22-The new battle
ship Kentucky which is to have her
trial trip off the New England coast
this week, reached this port to-day In
view of the fact that the builders wish
little more time than at first was
thought necessary to put the battleship
in trim for her trial, it has been decided
to defer the trip until Friday, instead
of holding it tomorrow, the date orig
inally set.
Those who came here on the Ken
lucky state that she made sixteen
knots, her required speed, with ninety
eight revolutions per minute. AS the
revolutions are expected to run up to
110 on a supposed test, those interested
felt very sure the vessel will exceed
seventeen knots.
Rear Admiral Sampson will be on the
Kentucky while the presence of the
Texas as a stakeboat, with Captain
Sigsbee on board, will add to the dig
nifty of the occasion. The naval board
in charge of the trial, with Rear Ad-
miral Rogers at the head, to-day COM
pleted the arrangements. The course
will be north-northeast from a point off
Thatchers Island, nearly twenty miles
and return, and has already been
buoyed.

Believed at Washington to Have

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-At the

information received from the Depart

trouble at Fort Ringgold is nothing
more than drunken border row and
the belief is expressed that it has been
exaggerated as to it's proportions The
Secretary of War has sent dispatch to
Governor Sayers in reply to the de-
mand for the removal of the troops,
saying that the department had already
taken measures to preserve peace and
restore order. 1t is not now the pres
ent intention of the War Department to
remove the troops from Ringgold, as it
is believed the difficulties can be check

that some more experienced officer W..
be sent to command at Ringgold

KENTUCKY ELECTION.
Canvass Of the Vote at Louisville
Announced.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 22.-The County
Election Board convened this afternoon
and took up the motion to throw out
the whole vote of the city of Louisvlle.
The county vote for Governor was an
nounced as follows: Taylor 1S,44,,
Goebel 1923, Brown 2,672; Taylor-s
plurality 1922.
The motion to throw out the vote of
Louisville was then taken up. Judge
Hargis was permitted to read affidavits
from Mayor Weaver Chairman Lyons
of the Board of Safety; Chief of Police
Haager, Henry Bell, Sheriff, and others,
relative to the presence of the militia
in the city on the day of election. These
affidavits state that the presence of the
militia in this city was uncalled for and
that the municipal authorities were
amply able to cope with the situation
on that day.
The board adjourned until tomorrow,
when arguments will be heard.
