up the place and gone to Philadel-

is regretted by the patrons of the

obliging.
The Gamers here are buying to-

The handsome home of Zadoc

One hundred and fifty-nine tick
cts were sold at Harrington last
week, at s. 90 each, for the Allan

last for the season.
I. d. Alexander, tax collector OF
the 9th District, which includes
Harrington, sits each Saturday to
receive taxes at the office of Is

Isaac Robinson has opened his
cannery here this week, and pays
spot cash for everything bought.
Tomatoes are worth almost as
much as peaches in our local mar
kets, and even local Gamers stand

The fruit rush for this season is
over, and many of the railroad folks
will go off OH their vacation this
month.
Our working people are missing
the employment usually afforded
by the canneries. Many girls and
boys have earned during the can
ming season sufficient to clothe
them for the winter; but this will
be an exception this year.

A Clearly Proven Case.

A merchant who had two stores
in small villages tried an expert
ment. He put a bargain counter
in each store, containing the same
articles at exactly the same price.
In the newspaper iii one village he
advertised his special counter. In
the paper Of the other town he did
not advertise and sold So38 worth
Of goods. In the store where he
did advertise he sold goods amount
ing to S7,233. In commenting on
the result Of his experiment the
merchant says People who got
/ the paper with my advertisement in
would pass one Of my stores and
drive four miles to the other one
for what they could have gotten at
the same price at their doors.

Kent Democrats Discussing Next
Years Election.

The Democrats are already plan
ming to overcome the Republican
majority Of 40 in Kent county at
the next election, and in order to
make success sure they propose to
seek the strongest Democrats that
can be found in the county willing
to run for the county ofhces-men
of known integrity and magnetism,
and who will work heroically for
their own victory.
In this way the doubtful legisla-
tive districts are wanted back under
Democratic representation. There
will be a number of fat county Off
ces to fill, and the idea Of getting
strong business men to run for these
in the hope Of pulling doubtful
votes is considered a wise one. The
office of Recorder of Deeds, now So
much more profitable on account
Of the general incorporation bust
ness Of the State all of which must
come into the recorders court oil
record is estimated as the most pro
htable with that of sheriff, clerk OIL
the peace, register in chancery, and
clerk Of the orphans court closely
following, and county treasurer and
coroner bringing up the rear.
The present Republican coroner
was elected by only twelve major
ity in the county. One Of the lead.
ing Democrats mentioned for sher-
+ tiff is Representative William G
Hardesty, who made an admirable
record in the recent General As
Isembly.

Fight in a Post Office.

The Wilmington Sun" of last
Monday, tells the story of trouble
at the Harrington post Office last
week as follows
There are but four Regular"
Republicans i'll the town of Har-
rington.
When the term the Democratic
postmaster expired it was necessary
to appoint another to take up the
reins of Office where he had left off.
1t was no easy matter to select
the man out of such a tremendous
aggregation Of "eminently respect
able citizens, but it had to be done
for this coterie had to be rewarded
for their treachery to the Republi-
can party.
The result was that Col du Pont,
who was then the dispenser of fed
eral patronage, and at the solicita-
ton Of Robert G. Houston had A.
/ ]. Kenney, one of the faithful four,
appointed to the place.
That it was an ideal appointment
there can be no question.
One day last week Theodore
Thistlewood went to the post Office
for his mail, as he had reason to
believe that there was a letter for
him there
Mr.. Kenney after making a cas-
ual look told Mr.. Thistlewood that
there was nothing for him.
Mr.. Thistlewood requested him
to look again, stating at the same
time that he was sure there was a
letter there for him.
/ Mr. Kenney said eff you say
there Is a letter here for me YOU are
a - liar when Mr.. Thistle
wood, who is an inoffensive man,
and not wishing to create a disturb
ance, started to leave the place.
No sooner had Mr.. Thistlewood
turned his back than Mr.. Kennev
/ picked up an iron bar and when he
was passing out the door made an
attempt to strike him over the head.
Mr.. Thistlewood discovered this in
time and quickly turned and
wrenched the iron bar from Ken
ney's hands, and throwing it to
one side started in to administer a
well-deserved thrashing.
When the bystanders thought
Kenney had been sufficiently pun
ished, Mr.. Thistlewood was asked
to desist which he did, but not un-
til he had taken Kenney back,
thrown him over the counter at the
same time demanding of him to
again look over the mail which he
reluctantly did,and sure enough the
anticipated letter was there.
And this IS the "eminently re-
spectacle" postmaster that thetown
of Harrington has.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

.4round the hotel Hobbies the
only political topic that affords any
interest centers around taking
chances OH what Democratic State
conventions will repudiate Bryan
and the Kansas City platform. SO
far there is quite unalimity in
that direction, with just enough of
a difference of opinion to make an
inherent weakness in the Demo
cratic ranks.
Next to that, Washingtonians are
watching the constitutional conven-
ton of Virginia, now being held
in E. Richmond The Republican
orators up to the present time have
had the right of way and have un-
mercifully scored the Democratic
party, particularly on its advocacy
ofno suffrage fornegroes- Speeches
have been made 1B.4IVs never
been equalled - their severity of
afIaignment, the Democracy hav-
ing been accused of political tyr
amy of the worst sort, and Of fran
dulent election methods. The
Democratic party is now attempt
ing to disfranchise the negro by a
clause in the constitution, and al
ready propose to submit this new
State constitution for a vote of
adoption by the people, excluding
the colored men from voting on a
document that is aimed to deprive
them of the rights of citizenship.
Much interest centers about the
possibilities i'll the case of lose
Abreu, the first Filipino to hold a
government office in this country.
He is employed as a clerk in the
Bureau of Insular Affairs of the
War Department He has been an
insurgent, and as one of Aguinal-
dos officers opposed the American
forces in the Philippines. Now,
= however, he has the confidence of
the Department to the fullest ex-
tent Those who see him on the
streets of Washington as a small
and slender gentleman in Ameri-
e.aafass-sslethes, but with an undenia-
bic Oriental appearance, find it hard
to reconcile his present looks and
occupation with his former known
ability as an intrepid leader and
fighter. His father was also an
insurgent, but is now a leader of
the Federal party in the islands.
Mr.. Abreu, the new clerk, is a lin
guist of extraordinary ability and
a close student of law. He will be
of great assistance to the depart
ment sfG account Of his familiar and
knowledge of the islands
and their customs. AT present he
is working on Geographical Ga
letter of the Philippines, and his
acquaintance with the various pro
vincial dialects is Of particular
value.
Acting Surgeon General For
wood of the army has just received

of the Philippine forces. 'Johnnv

healthy, as army health goes, and
the number of sicknesses has de
creased rapidly under strict saul
tary regulations. Enteric and ma
larial fevers are most to be feared
but the small percentage of mon

strength is so low that it is plain
these diseases are not making any
serious ravages among the troops
A remarkable fact brought out by
the report is that heat stroke, gen
orally so much feared in the trop-
les, is practically unknown in the
Philippines. Men often drop out
on the march, temporarily over
come by the heat, but fatal stroke
is very rare indeed

THE State Treasurer has paid to
the Board of Education Of Milford,
the sum of one hundred and fifty
four dollars, being the amount due
for scholars from rural districts who
took advantage Of the graded
schools of Milford during the last
school year. This is a fair show
ing; but is not one-half the annual
revenue that would be derived, if
Milford had a modern school build
ing, properly equipped so that the
best results could be got from the
labors put forth by the instructors.
If the amount received from other
districts for instructing their pupils
in the higher grades, can be put up
to four hundred dollars or more
per annum, that alone would pay the
interest on ten thousand dollars
worth of bonds at four per cent.
and at the same time the childrer
would be getting the advantage o
better schools. A new sclfoo
building for Milford is in the neal
future.
