EAcIIoNAL ElGHI RENEWED

Down in Kent county a fierce fight
is in progress between the Salisbury
and Wolcott factions of the Democrat,
party, the heat of the controversy find
ing its centre in the editorial columns
of the Dover Delawarean, representing
the Salisbury interests, and the Dover
Index, representing the Wolcott inter-
ests. 1t is but the beginning. for the
old Wolcott faction, with new and
young blood at its head, is endeavor-
ing to regain its former place in coun-
ty politics, and the Salisbury men are
straining every nerve TO hold what
they have.
There was a time when the Sauls-
burys were undisputed masters in Kent
county. That was when James l..
Wolcott ST.. was lad and aia~ stu
dent In those days United States Sen
atcr El. salisbury had the Dover Del
awarean for his organ, and it was the
only Democratic newspaper in Kent
county
When Mr. Wolcott and those who
combined with him to break down the
Salisbury influence decided to go into
che nsnt they founded the Dover In
dex, placing Former Sheriff Francis M.
Dunn in charge of it.
After a long fight the Wolcott men
defeated the Salisbury men at the
party primaries, and the Salisbury men
defeated the Wolcott men at the gen
aral election. In consequence of this.
Anthony Higgins, a Republican, and
not Mr.. Wolcott, Democrat was elect
ed United States senator. This so in
furiated the Wolcott men that they
went in and practically annihilated
the Salisbury faction, asking and Civ
ing no quarter.
For several years the Wolcott men
exercised a commanding influence in
Kent county affairs, working in har-
mony with the Bayard-Gray forces in
New Castle county and the anti
forces in Sussex county.
The elevation of Mr.. Wolcott to the
bench, and his death not long after
wards afforded the Salisbury men the
opportunity they had waited for so
long and so impatiently. They began
to assert themselves. and the Wolcott
men did not resist them with their ac-
eustomed energy. The Index lost its
fire, while the Delawarean never miss
ed a chance to bolster up the Salisbury
side. And so the Salisbury and Ken
ney men went to the front.
The election OF Willard Salisbury
Jr., for chairman of the Democratic
state Central Committee, the manner
in which 1t was done, his senatorial
aspirations, and the outcome of the
general election have embittered the
Wolcott men, and they are making a
desperate drive to discredit the Sauls-
bury faction and TO get in position to
assume the party management two
years hence. The Dover Index and the
Dover Delawarean have resumed their
as factlonal organs, and the
controversy bids fair to be as protract
ed as it is heated.

DOWN WITH A PARACHUTE.
Circus Balloon Man Snys It's Gem
tie and Not Hazardous.

Coming down from the clouds in a
parachute is like Dream" said a cir
Gus balloon artist. Ever dream of
falling from high place? You come
down, alight quietly and awake, and
you're not hurt. We'll. that's the para
chute drop over again. No; there is no
danger \ parachute can be guided
readily on the down trip. but you can't t
steer balloon. 10 guide Il parachute
out OF harm's way practicod hand
can tilt It one way or the other spill
out air ana thus work it TO where you
want to land or to avoid water. trees,
chimneyS or church spires. Circus as
tensions are generally made in the
evening When the sun goes down. the
Wi2d goes down. The balloon then
shoots into the air. and the parachute
drops back On the circus lot or not far
away. a balloon is made OF 4 per cent
muslin and Weighs about 500 pounds
y parachute is made of cent muslin.
"There ii much more danger is COM
ing down in Il balloon. When it strikes
the earth, it's like big ball and
bounds up again, taking You with it.
Not long ago in McKcesport, Pa,
came down in balloon because the
parachute would not let 60 | nearly
came down in big stack of n blast
furnace. but the hot air drove the bal
loon away. After that never intrust-
ed the parachute arrangement to any
one, but attended to it myself.
The rope that secures the parachute
is cut with knife. The aeronalt
drops fully 100 feet before the para
chute begins to ill. 1t must fill If
you're up high enough. There are sew
eral hundred parachute men in the
business, and the accidents are less in
ratio than railroad casualties. A man
can't shake out Il parachute if it don't
open. A man in the air is simply pow
erless. Invariably the fall is head first.
When the parachute begins to fill, the
descent is less rapid. and finally when
the parachute has gradually filled it
bulges out with pop. Then the aero
naut climbs on to his trapeze and
guides the parachute to a safe landing.
In seven cases out of ten you can land
back on the lot where you started from.
The first performers must have had
nerve to make the drop Now it is a
regular business, not considered haz-
ardous at all. The hardest work is to
bring back the balloon with wagon.
Sometimes it tears in the trees or
wherever it may land when not in the
open. New York Sun.

COLTS INVENTION.
The First Great Improvement Mad,
In Repeating Pistols.

The First Great Improvement Made
In Repeating Pistols.
In this day of improved firearms the
fact that the first great Improvement
made in repeating pistols by Colonel
Samuel Colt was patented in the day
of our grandfathers is seldom recalled.
1t was Colonel Colt, then of New York,
to whom was granted the patent Feb.
20, 1886. The original petition in the
case was destroyed by the fire in De-
cember following. The letters patent
were returned when application was
made for the reissue, Sept. l, 1913. The
original letters are signed by Andrew
Jackson, president; John Forsyth, sec
retary of state, and Benjamin +. But
Ter, attorney general
After describing his invention Colo
mel Colt claims as new 'the application
of caps at the end of the cylinder the
application of a partition between the
caps, the application of shoulder over
the caps as security against moisture
and the action of smoke upon the
works of the locks, the principle of the
connecting rod between the hammer
and the trigger, the application of the
shackle to connect the cylinder with
the ratchet" etc.
There had been a revolver patented
about 20 years before by one Collin,
but until Colts invention little head
way was made. Indeed it was not un-
til Colts invention had been given a
trial by Major Sam Walker and his
Texas rangers that it gained popular
ity and was regarded as a success.
About the time Colonel Colt was ap-
plying for reissue, in 1S4S, Mr. Wes-
son had filed an application for a re-
peating firearm, by which the Smith &
Wesson pistol of today is represented.
