"MiIfOrd Chronicle" Speaks of the Death of
the "MiIfOrd Democrat"

Under the above heading the Mil
ford Chronicle gives the following ac-
count of journalism in that town:
"The Democrat last week announced
its suspension, and that the plant
would be removed to Dover, where it
will be edited by John d. Hawkins,
Esq. For five years the paper has
struggled to gain fOothold where no
foothold existed, and it has been los
Jig venture for all who have had any
thing to do with it.
1t was first started in 1895 by Fisher
& Stevens, who had only brief ex-
perience in the printing business, and
who entertained ideas that the profits
were large; but in less than twenty
months the outfit sunk about two
thousand dollars for its publishers and
their friends. 1t next fell into the
hands of the late Col. E. T. Cooper
and syndicate of Democratic officials,
who operated it by throwing public
patronage to it, but with all this, it
sunk about twelve hundred dollars
over its earnings during his brief man
agement.
After this, manager after manager
followed in rapid order, while its for
tunes grew less and less, until the
Wilkinson Brothers got control about
eight months ago, when the final at
tempt to infuse life into dead body
was made. Their ideas of successful
publishing were based ON wrong prin-
ciples, and it was plain that the end
was not far distant.
Mr.. Wilkinson is a good, kind
hearted, easy-going man, and leaves
Milford with no enemies; but he was
up against losing enterprise; as there
is barely room for two papers in Mil
ford-one paper if it had all the pat
ronage, would not earn more than fair
to a good living for an enterprising
owner.
The "Herald-Democratic" venture
in Milford has cost about four thous-
and dollars to those who have had any
thing to do with it from first to last.
1t cut prices below living rate, and
has Gone more to demoralize the busi-
ness in its five years of existence than
all other influences put together, and
because of this the other printing es-
adjustments have been operated either
at loss, or at so small margin, that
the publishers had bare living.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease. pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROOt the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mail, also book telling about Swamp
Root and its wonderful cures. Address

CAMPMEETING AT REHOBOTH.
Will Hold From Aug. 18th to Sept Ind
Best Talent Will be Secured.

Those who have been interested in
the annual religious exercises at Re-
hoboth have secured new site for the
Auditorium, which is now being re.
moved and will be put in excellent
condition for future use. The Rev. F.
j. Cochran, representing these Chris
tian people, made repeated efforts to
purchase lots for this enterprise from
the Rehoboth Commissions, but was
met with such persistent indifference
and opposition, that he and his commit
tee were compelled to buy from pri-
vate individuals.
Some of the Commissioners have re-
sorted to very unworthy measures to
hinder. and if possible, prevent, the
continuance of the religious services
held by the Campmeeting people, but
the enterprise seems likely to continue
and those who are interested will trust
that the future may bring to them the
consideration they justly merit.
The Cam 9meeting will begin with an
evening service on Saturday, Aug. 1s,
and close Sept. 2nd. In addition, re.
ligious services will be held each Sab
bath evening from July 1st to the close
of the season, Efforts will be made
to provide the best pulpit talent tha
can be had. "Big Thursdays" will be
Aug. 29rd and 3Oth, for which specia
talent will be secured, that the oc
casion may be of interest and profit t.
the people at large.

Settlement of "Trusts."

The settlement of the "trust" ques-
tion is not a political one, but it calls
for the concerted and best judgement
of all legislators. Whenever a ''trust"
tends to impair the rights and privil-
eyes of citizens, it aims neither at Re-
publicans, Democrats nor Populists,
but all alike. Therefore the represen-
tatives of all the people should join
hands for the protection of all.

Fighting the Cabbage Worm.

This spring and summer the cabbage
worm will no doubt cause much annoy
ance. The white butterfly, the parent
of the cabbage worm, is usually early
in putting in an appearance if the plants
are well advanced. One pound of
pyrethrum leaves mixed with 100 gal
Ions of water, will kill every worm
with which it comes in contact, and
the remedy is harmless to man.

RACED SWIFTLY TO HIS DOOM
FELL FORTY FEET THROUGH DRAwBRIDGE
INTO THE CANAL.
A Horse Driven by George Huggins and
Rooney Cunningham Carries the For
mer to His Death.

The open draw, Buck bridge, at Sum-
NIT Bridge, was the death-trap that
caught George Higgins, "a years old,
of Glasgow, of the firm Hugglns
Il Bro, proprietors of the and 10
cent store in Smyrna, on Wednesday
night. Huggins and the horse he was
driving, plunged forty feet into the
water of the Delaware and Chesapeake
canal below. He and the animal was
killed. Rooney Cunningham, who
was riding in the same team, and took
the plunge, managed to swim to the
shore, where he dropped unconscious
on the bank. He is still in a critical
condition as the result of the injuries
he received. Irving Dayett and bud"
McMullen, who were riding in team
behind Huggins and Cunningham,
were able to pull in their horse on the
brink of the draw, and thus saved
themselves from death or serious in
jury.
The four young men went to festi-
val at COmegys Hall on Wednesday
evening, and about 10 o'clock started
for their homes in Glasgow. Huggins
and Dayett both owned good horses
and were anxious to test their speed.
The horses had been standing for some
time and were willing for a race.
Higgins horse took the lead and was
going at breakneck speed when he
reached the bridge. There was nc
moon and the horse reached the plat
form of the bridge before it was seer
the draw was off. The animal sprang
from side to side trying to avoid plung
ing overheard, but was going too fast
to stop.
Cunningham says he felt himself
going down through space, but his
mind is a blank from the time he
touched the water until he found him
self lying on the bank of the canal
His clothes were wet, and although he
was bruised he could not remember
what had happened. When Dayet
and McMullin saw the Higgins team
disappear they pulled in their horse
and, after tying him, gave the alarm
The canal was dragged, and in about
an hour the body was recovered. There
was an ugly cut on the face, which is
supposed to have been caused by his
head coming in contact with the piling
His watced stopped at 10. 20 o'clock, ,anC
this is supposed to have been the time
the accident occurred. The deceased
was well known in the vicinity of Glas
gov. He lived about two miles from
Glasgow with the Dayett family.
sister, Mrs. Merritt Paxton, lives on
farm near Wilmington.
There is no protection whatever a
the bridge when the draw is off, Th,
road curves when approaching the
bridge and the light on the draw doe
not show until the draw is wide open
While it is being turned the light doe
not show. There are no gates or chains
Coroner Vandever made an investiga
ton and gave a certificate of deatl
from drowning. He said the prope
authorities should be compelled to pro
vide some safeguard.

Bargain Hunters.

Bargain hunters always pick up
cheap things. Even the newspapers
come under this category, and the
paper that gets mushroom circulation
for three months by giving away copies
for the price of one month, think they
are doing good stroke of business, by
getting their paper into homes where
it was never been seen or read.
