MANY MISSED IN ENUMERATION
Some EnumeratOrS Have Been Negligent
in Obtaining Data

Some OF the census enumerators, it
Is said. were negligent in their work of
gathering data for the 1900 census. and
it is thought that many people have
been missed. BY inquiry OF letter-car-
riors and through communications AS
sistant Supervisor James W. Robertson
has been apprised of the bad work In
some cases whole families have been
missed. In other cases members OF a
family have been omitted. The greatest
omission has been found to be in OBJ
tanning information about servants.
Mr.. Robertson SAYS that he Is de-
termined that no one shall be missed,
and if necessary the enumerators will
be sent over their districts a second
time

New Castle, June 22.-Unless

proposition to observe publicly here
Independence Day. there will be little Of
interest to keep the people of the city
at home on that day.
Several weeks ago Mayor Boyd sug-
gested that citizens contribute fund
for the purchase of fireworks and that
patriotic exercises be held on the school

such a program is TO be carried out is
evident There are residents who viii

REPUBLICANS WILL MEET
Mass Meeting Proposed by AddickSites
Of New Castle Hundred
epecial 10 tho Evonlne journal.


New Castle. June 22.-Addicks Re-
publicans OF this hundred are arrang-
ing for a mass meeting by which they
hope to unite the warning factions Of
the party here. Well-known leaders Of
the Addicks Republicans will come
from Wilmington to address the meet
ing and j. Edward Adicks may be
among them.
The Addicksites say that the trend
Of politics here points to the success
of the Republican ticket. This Is par
ticularly desirious inasmuch as the
Democrats will leave no stone unturned
to re-elect Henry M. White TO the Levy
Court. The candidacy Of this man is
obnoxious to many Democrats here
and unless the Republicans OF this
hundred unite on. ticket he will be
reelected. Addicks men believe there
will be unity throughout the state, a
belief that predicts to them the over
throw OF Democracy. The meeting will
be held some time next month.

2,2i0 pounds each; for 1902 about
$4,000 short tons, equal to 32l ,42S tons
of 2,2I0 pounds each. For 1908, 1904
and 1905 il may reach an average of
100000 short tons for each year, and
this, under present conditions of our
intensive cultivation, l consider to be
fair estimate as a forecast.
There are several new sugar estates
now being commenced on each of the
larger islanus of the group, but it is
doubtful. judging from past experience.
whether expectations of the promoters
will be realized as regards full crops
within the period specified, though
eventually the sugar yield of this group
will average about 400 900 short tons.
;, The large island of Hawaii is entire
ly dependent on the rainfall for its %
sugar plantations, while Maui and Kau-
nj are partly so dependent. Oahu is
abundantly supplied for the present
at least. with artesian water, and its
crop estimates are more reliable. But
even this artesian supply may be re-
duced in a few years. as one of our
wells has already given out, creating
fears that there is a limit even TO this
now apparently exhaustless source for
cane irrigation.
