The washing in Egypt is usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washermen
stand ON the banks of the Nile and slap

such women as wash pound the dirt

Use Of the Republican party emblem,

asked about the emblem this morning

its use in this county, said this morn

Il do not know who will be given

LEVY COURT WON'T PAY

Levy Court met in adjourned session
this morning and heard the opinion Of
Attorney John H. Rodney as to the La
bility Of the court for $4.20 paid to in
digent persons in Mlddletown recently
by Magistrate William r. Reynolds.
The magistrate was appealed to by a
man and his wife who were en- route
from California to Seaford. and he ad-
vanced the money which he asks that
the Levy Court reimburse on the
ground that had he committed the trav-
elers TO jail for vagrancy the cost to
the county would have been more than
the amount which he advanced. Mr..
Rodney said he could find no law COW
ering the case, and that should the
court choose to reimburse Mr.. Rey-
nolds a bad precedent would be estab-
lished. The court decided not to pay
the claim.
Court adjourned until next Friday,
when the appropriations for the next
year will be made and the tax rate will
be fixed. Clerk OF the Peace Foard is
finishing up the work upon which the

Willard Salisbury, l.. Irving Handy
and John G.. Gray as to the composition
of the Democratic State Committee.
Mr. Cahall returned to HIS home
Adamsville. this morning without di-
vulging the result of the conference.
and there is considerable speculation
in Democratic circles in consequence.
Ii has been the custom In former cam
paigns for the Democratic State Com
mittee TO be elected at State Conven-
ton previous TO the campaign. For in
stance, the committee that would, un-
der the old policy of the party, run the
present campaign would have been
named by the convention, which is
to be held in September But this
policy was side-tracked this year. The
convention vested the authority of Sc
lecting the State Committee in Chair
man A. II. Cahall. who is an out-and-
out salisbury -Handy-Gray man.
