McKinley's Followers.

The Republicans held their county
convention at the court house last Sat
nrday afternoon, with delegates from
Buford, Coal Creek, Powell Park and

ganization was later made permanent.
The following delegates were selected

A Passing Fad.

Even a casual observer cannot fail to
notice that tle bicycle is becoming OBJ
solete as a pleasure vehicle. AS fad
1t Is no longer fashionable attraction.
The endless procession of wheels that
bowled over boulevards and parkways
four and five years ago has dwindled to
a few random riders. The wheel Is
seen In the hands of merchants and col
lectors, and devoted principally for bus
iness purposes. The out-riders purely
for pleasure have dwindled into insignif-
icance as compared with the multitude
that thronged the fashionable thorough
fares when the fad was most popular.
Bicycle races that at one time were as
attractive as base ball games are now
nearly obsolete.
There Is more outdoor pleasure riding
this season than at any time within o
decade, but the public is riding in car
riages. Never has there been seen in
Chicago so many elegant and costly
turnolts as every day parade through
the parkwavs of that city. The bicycle
has ceased to be source Of pleasure to
Thousands who once were fascinated
with the wheel. People who can afford
the luxury Of horses now keep a stable
and ooach,nan, and enjoy the open air
rides in carriages. With the passing Of
the wheel. the automobile has made its
appearance at a time when carriage
horses were extraordinarily high. They
are complicated, expensive, difficult to
manage and easily got out of order.
The promoters of the automobiles her
aided their introduction as the passing
of the horse, but the cold reception they
are receiving rooms them to an ephem-
eral existence, while the horse is stead
lily gaining in popular favor and gen.
eral usefulness. In war, commercial
industries and pleasure use the horse is
indispensable.-Ex.

THE LEWEs C0ALING STATION

In reference to the Lewes coaling
station project The Pilot says: GAS the
days roll by the rumor of the Lewes coal
ing station becomes stronger, and now
there is not a shadow of doubt that Con-
gress will be asked for an appropriation
for this harbor The parties interested
feel confident that it will be allowed
The need of a coaling station here has
been argued for number of years, but
for some reason no effective movement
has been made with this end in view,
notwithstanding the benefits to be de-
rived by people who, as rule, get what
they want. To the East Indian trade it is
of great importance. A pilot said the
other evening, "Out of every twenty
steamers that come here from the East
Indies there would scarcely be one that
would not find big advantage in coaling
up here. Instead of having to stop at
Bermuda, she could make straight run
for the Breakwater, get her coal, and pro-
ceed to her destination without the delay
that is now necessary" To steamer
coming from the South the saving of time
by a straight run to this port instead of
having to go up to Norfolk, would also
be big item"

DAILY OYSTER TRAIN

There is made up at Delmar every
morning very fast freight train, known
as the "Oyster Special" which makes
faster time up the Delaware railroad than
any of the express trains. This train is
composed of cars carrying shucked oysters
that are distributed in every part of the
United States from Canada to Texas, and
as far West as California. At Delmar the
cars containing oysters from Crisfeld,
Kings Creek, Princess Anne and other
points on the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk railroad are attached to the
special. The first stop is Seaford, which
is large shipping point. Tie valuable
and perishable freight in which ice is
placed is handled quickly and the train
proceeds to Harrington, where large
quantities of bivaives are taken on from
Chincoteague. The next stop is Clayton,
where the Chesapeake oysters from Ok
ford and Easton are gathered in. The
collection then being completed the train
is rushed to Perryville via Porter, and
thence to destination. This train often
attains a speed of seventy miles an hour,
and is given the right of way on its trips
north, as it is run in opposition to the
Adams Express.

BROKE HIS NECK

On Thursday afternoon last, Mr.. John
Taylor, a carpenter of Church Hill, Nd,
fell from scaffold and broke his neck
while at work on barn, on the farm of
Mr.. w. Massey, near Sudlersville. No
one saw the accident, though Mr.. Massey
was at the barn at the time, but was on
the opposite side from which Mr.. Taylor
was at work, and when he had occasion
to go around on the other side, found
Mr.. Taylor dead. Mr.. Taylor was at
work on soaffold about 20 feet high,
and was standing on trestle, boring a
hole, and it is supposed that in attempt
ing to extract the bit from the hole, the
brace came off the bit, which caused him
to loose his balance and fall, as the bit
was in the hole and the brace was found
under him. DIR. Foster Sudlea was
called in. A widow survives him. He
was senior warden of St. Luke's P. E,
Church, Church Hill. Mr.. Taylor was
63 years old.

MONEY FOR SCHOOLS

One of the first things which the in
coming Republican General Assembly of
Delaware proposes to do is to place the
public schools of the State upon a better
financial basis. This year some of the
largest towns have had to go without
school advantages for four and five
months at a time Of the year when the
smaller children were much better able
to attend than during the Winter. The
assistance rendered the schools by the
State fund has been in nearly every case
inadequate. About 1915 is the annual
appropriation allowed to each district
school,
Willy Legislators have obtained for
their own special district double appro-
priations, by getting bills through the Leg
islature dividing the districts, and then,
before the close of the session, getting
another bill through, combining the dis
tricts SO divided. This move gets one
district two appropriations, and thus in
stead of each school receiving S1.50 per
capita for its pupils, some now receive
81 per capita. The law viii undoubtedly
be wiped out, and the appropriations viii
mot only be eauaiized, but win be In
creased, so that the schools can be kept
open regularly during the term.
