Il is 10 be regretted that the cases of
the Levy Courtmen indicted by the
Grand jury, could not be tried at the
present term of court If the defend
ants are guilty it is of the utmost inn
portance that that fact should be
made known; if innocent, that knowl-
edge is equally important For the
president Of our Levy Court to con
tinue to discharge his official duties
while under Indictment is most re-
markable. On the other hand If he is
not guilty he is greatly wronged in
having to rest so long under suspicion.
We hope no witnesses will disappear
before the next term of court and that
the matter may be finally determined
then. Possibly the reasons for post
poning the trial of the case We're am

WnAT,s UP

An evening sheet of this city whose
chief glory has been its adherence to
Addicks. regales us with the follow
ing:
The two factions will never agree as
long as Mr.. Addicks' candidacy for a
senatorship is in question. He does
not intend to get out of the race and
that means only one result, Democratic
supremacy in Delaware in 1902, and
the election of two Democratic sen.
atOrs.
Now that is very nice and pretty as
far as it goes, and it has the true ring
to it, but what does Il mean? Does IL
mean that our ancient contemporary
with facilities slightly impaired, is
getting the cobwebs out OF its brain?
Does il mean that henceforth it will
refuse to support Addicks, since il ad-
mits that he is making Democratic
victory certain? We are honestly
anxious to know the Mossback's true
position. If it rs merely trying to fill
up space, that is another matter.

WAYFARER'S NOTE BOOK
Good Boy Got Even

In South Wilmington there once
lived a grocer whose meanness re-
bounded in a convincing and proper
manner. The Wayfarer may be the
victim of a romancer, but the story
told him about this particular grocer
is good, nevertheless, and if the result
here chronicled is true. he got his de-
serts.
IL was while the merchant was wait
4 ing for his clerk to return from dinner
and give him an opportunity to eat hiS
MONDAY meal, that a boy came into
the store with a basket in his hand
and SAID:
Il seed a boy grab up this er basket
from the door and run, an l run after
him and made him give it up
MY lad, you are an honest boy"
Yes. Sir"
And you look like a good boy"
Yes. sir"
"And good boys should always be
Encouraged. In a box in the back room
here are eight dozen eggs. You may
AXE them home to your mother and
Keep the basket"

eggs for days and weeks to reward
someone In rewarding a good boy he
llso got eight dozen bad eggs carried
)ut of the neighborhood free of cost,
md he chuckled a little chuck as he
walked homeward.
The afternoon waned. night came
md went and once more the grocer
went to his dinner. When he return
ID he was picking his teeth and smil-
ing contentedly. His eye caught a
basket of eight dozen eggs as he en-
tered the store and he queried:
Been buying some eggs?"
Yes; got hold of these from farm
er's boy" replied the clerk.
"A lame boy with a blue cap on?"
YES"
1.-TWO front teeth out?"
yes"
The grocer examined the eggs. The
shells had been washed clean, but they
were the eggs the good boy had car
ried home the day before.

SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT

SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT
The annual report Of Secretary VIII
son gives us some idea Of the splendid
work being done by the Department Of
Agriculture Probably no secretary
has done more to extend the useful
ness of this branch of our Govern
mental service than the present secre-
tary. The field is almost boundless.
since within the borders Of the United
States may be produced almost every
thing known to agriculture. He ex-
presses the opinion that in a short time
the United States will be producing
practically everything which we con
sumo, and the recent extension of GER
tain agricultural interests, suggests
that il is no mere idle fancy.
few years ago and it was deemed
impossible, for instance. to produce
certain brands Of tobacco in this coun-
try, and the Havana leaf and the Su-
matra leaf were imported at great ex-
pense, while we were content at pro-
ducing the cheaper grades. Under
proper methods of cultivation and
curing, however we are now success
fully growing these brands, and this
means much to such States as Penn
sylYania and Connecticut Other dis
coveries by employees of the depart
ment regarding tobacco, mean say
ing of many thousands OF dollars an
nually.
The department has performed
valuable service in importing certain
seeds. and in experimenting with their
growth under proper conditions.
Japanese rice has been introduced in
Louisiana and Texas. and it is esti-
mated that the resulting increase in
production in one year amounts to
moro than $l,O0O,000 in Louisiana
alone Imports of this article have
fallen off one-half. and It seems clear
that we shall soon be producing all
the rice we consume The new maca-
rOni wheats that have been imported
for experimentation have proved a
great success in Kansas and Nebraska,
and thus the imports of macaroni,
amounting to over a million annually,
will cease. and that article will be
made at home.
Egyptian cotton has been introduced
into Georgia, and the product this year
has been pronounced by experts to be
equal to the best grade of the Egyp-
tian article. We have been importing
this article at the rate OF something
like SS,000,000 worth each year, and If
we are able to raise it ourselves we
shall cut off that sum of outside ex-
penditure Dates from Africa have
been planted in California and Ari-
zona. and have done as we'll as in their
native country. The beet sugar indus
ry is now a pronounced success, and
we are even producing rubber from
our own trees.
These are only incidents of the
work. Experiments in soils, the dis
eases of plants, irrigation. and a thou
sand other points of vital interest to
the farmer, are daily being made. The
latest information about poultry and
stock is to be had from the depart
ment. and the fact that every farmer
is becoming an amateur scientist is
due in large measure to it's efforts
Notwithstanding opposition TO making
the Bureau of Agriculture into a de
partment, the change has been amply
justified, and the wonderful develop
ment OF our agriculture dates from its
{ creation.

he works on persons with whom he

EXPORT TAX ON CUBAN TOBACCO.
The President Issues an Executive Order
Abolishing This Duty
lRv The Associated Prass.l J

Washington March S.-Thc President
today issued an executive order abolish
ing the Cuban export duty on tobacco
from April 1st next. This action was
taken on the earnest recommendation Of
the Cuban Economic Commission which
recently visited Washington, endorsed
by General Wood. A previous order bad
been issued fixing an export duty of 80
per ceht on Cuban tobacco from April
1st. Today's action removes the export
duty entirely.
General Woods approval of the aboli-
tion of this export duty is practically an
expression of his belief that the Cuban
revenues from other sources are sufficient
for the needs of the nsular government.
The original idea was that the tobacco
tax was necessary to fully meet the fl
! nancial requirements of the Government.
The abolition of duty affects cigars and
cigarettes as we'll as tobacco in leaf,
filler or cut, all of the various classes OF
| tobacco, raw and manufactured, having
| heretofore been subject to various rates
| of duty That on cigars has been $1.3o
per thousand; on cigarettes in boxes 90c.
| per thousand; cut tobacco $3.75 per hum
l dred kilos; leaf or filler tobacco $3.50 per
| 100 kilcs, except that harvested in the
| province OF Santiago de Cuba, and eX-
ported through the custom houses at San
| tiago, Gibara or Manzanillo, which paid
| $500 per 100 llilos. All of these duties are
| abolished under the order of today. 1t is
| estimated by the War Department Off
cials that the abrogation of the tobacco
| duties will cause a loss of revenue OF
about $500 900 to $1,000, 900 per year. But
| it is said that this loss will be more than
| Offset by the encouragement given to the
| planters in Cuba to increase their pro-
| duction. The extent of the trade affected
| by the order is very large, the tobacco
| exports amounting to about $4,000, 600 g
| year. OF this by far the larger part
came to the United States. The tota
value of manufactured tobacco exported
| within the seven months ending July 31s
blast was s., 720 900 and OF this the expor
| to the United States amounted to $f,S75,.
000
In the same period the export of Cubai
| cigars was largest to Great Britain. the
| United States coming second The tota
value of the cigar exports for the sever
months was $6,03O,000.
