HOW ADDlCkE HAS
LOST ONh VOTb
Union Republicans Of Kent
Exercised Over AIEair
Of Mr.. Aaron

A special dispatch from Dover today
says;
The recent renewal of extra session
talk has stirred up anew, the discila-
sion which was rife here a couple of
months ago as to whether j. +. Adj
dicks has not lost a legislative vote
through the desire of the Addicks
members of Kent county's Levy Court
to reward a fellow partisan who had
stood loyal to their chief in the legisla-
tive arena. This eo-worker is Repre-
sentative Aaron. of West Dover hun
dred. or former representative.
rather he should be styled, according
to a high ,egal authority here. Mr.
Aaron was all through the late session
an Addicks man of the most pro-
lnounced type, and every vote he cast
for United States senator will be found
recorded in the journals, for John Ed
ward Addicks. Mr.. Aaron. therefore,
would be a valuable man for Mr.. Ad-
dicks to have in the House when an
extra session is to be held. But he
will not be there, at least in a capacity
that would be of benefit to the Gas
imam.
Shortly after the last session closed,
the Addicks men in Kent's Levy Court
shook the county plum tree, and among
those who were fortunate enough to
hold their hats in just the correct po-
lsiticn to catch the dropping fruit was
Mr.. Aarons. The custodianship and
land supervizorship Of Kent's almhouse
came Mr. Aaron's way, and he accept
ed it with the avidity which marks al
ways a true follower Of Addicl1s.
Now the almshouse of Kent county
is situated in North Murderkill hun
dred in the Sixth representative dis
trict, and Mr. Aaron. while in the Gen
eral Assembly, represented the Fourth
representative district and resided in
West Dover hundred. OF course, to be
come care taker of the almshouse. Mr..
Aaron moved there shortly after his
| appointment. and there he now re-
sides. Thus it viii be seen that he no
lcnger resides in the Fourth district.
thus It also win be seen that he no
longer represents the people of that
district. and finally. thrs also it is
made plain that Mr. Ajdicks loses a
faithful and nsver-failng legislative
vote.

FARMERS SEEK
REDRESS In Law
One Suit for SIandeT, Other
for Damages
MILL CREEK TILLERS LITIGANTS
Both Actions Grow Out Of Attempts
to Harvest Kheat-One Case
on Friday

Three farmers Of Mill Creek hundred
will appear as prosecutors of two suits
before the county court, Which will
convene here next week. One suit is
brought by John Hewlett against
Lewis Miller. the plaintiff claiming
damages for defamation OF character
and the other by John r. and Bernard
T. Duross. Jr VS. Harry Hobson, to
recover the sum of S25C as damage
done to wheat belonging 60 the Messrs.
.DuRoss. Julian c. Walker will appear
for the three plaintiffs.
The suit OF Hewlett VS. Miller is the
elimination of long-standing petty
troubles between the parties mention
ed. Several years ago Mr.. Hewlett
rented the Miller farm. in Mill Creek
hundred, and when he became in ar
'rears for rent, the landlord seized the
live stock on the farm for the debt.
Subsequently the claim was satisfied,
after which Mr. Hewlett removed to
the Hanna property, in the Limestone
road. Last Spring he returned to the
Miller farm to cut the wheat he had
sown the winter before. but was re-
fused admission to the field by Miller.
1t is further alleged that he was
threatened with bodily harm, and his
reputation attacked by Mr.. Miller. The
criminal proceedings against Mr. Mil
Ter will be heard before Magistrate
Williamson, at Hockessin, on Friday
morning
The Duross VS.. Hobson action prom
ises to be Of greater interest Accord
ing to the information filed, the
Messrs. DuRoss bought from Mr.. Hob.
son a quantity of wheat I'm the ground
which they cut carly in July. When
threshing season arrived Mr.. Hobson
declared that the work must be done
near his barn on the property, but the
Messrs. DuRoss preferred to do it in
the field. II being impossible to effect
compromise in this particular. Mr..
Hobson refused TO allow the threshing
machine to be brought on his property,
and in consequence the wheat remain
cd in the sheaf until it was spoiled by
the rain. The Messrs. DuRCss contend
that Mr.. Hobson is responsible flp
their loss, and ask that the court allow
them damages in the sum named.
