TAKING pledge to abstain from
drink is all right but it is better to
stop drinking without taking a
pledge than to take 1t and keep on
tipping. The drink habit is bad
thing and curse when a man or
woman loves it so that they are
willing to 60 down In the gutter to
satisfy their craving for il. Social
clubs who have sldeboards are
source OF untold evil to young men
and often lead them to fast lives and
learn to neglect business. Never
allow habit to get such a hold on
you that you cant stop It. Learn
to cultivate your will power and
then you can never 60 tar astray.
WE don't know where the men
procured their drink, but there
were number of drunken men on
our streets yesterday afternoon.
Someone was evidently doing a
paving business. Some thought
they got their load at the German
halls, while others were certain
that no lees than a dozen sd oons
make business of selling liquor
Oh Sunday and thatthey are known
to the police, who will not arrest
them without complaint is made at
the city hall. The illegal selling
OF liquor should be stopped at once.
JAS. r. HUGHES has had time 10
ask himself # It was worth the

March Sth, On Saturday he paid
the pen atty of stealing diamond
pin from DR., Watson and being
caught. He now knows what the
Delaware whipping post is Ike and
how it feels 10 nave the cat fall on
his bare back. We don't think he
will ever want the dose repeated
and that is what the Delaware
whipping posts are for, to keep
thieves out OF this state.
The first death of the season has
been recorded, although the water

eight years old, was drowned while

IF saloon keeper cannot be
trusted to run his place according
to law, then his license should be
taken away from him. This screen
law is all wrong, although numbers
of people do not believe we are do
ing right in saying SO. The taking
down or p4ttlng up of the screens
do not keep one man in hundred
out Of the saloons, especially If they
want 10 enter and procure a drink.

IT is reported that the Attorney
General will investigate the charge
of alleged fraud made against the
Department of Elections. The Re-
publican committee charges that
the names Of many Democrats were
transferred without them visiting
the Department OF Elections and
making application to be transfer
red. 10 a number Of the polling
places visited but one book was
used. FIFTY seven voters out Of 225
over Third street bridge, took the
trouble to get registered, which
means a light vote over there at
the coming election. Less than five
hundred people have been register
ed since the last registI alton day
at the Department OF Elections.
This shows that the Republican
voters are not taking the interest
in the election that they should and
it means light vote in June. The
action Of the President in leaving
Democrat in Office after their term
has expired, is not calculated to
enthuse Republicans. Then the
action Of the Republican majority
in the last Legislature, in not elect
ing two u. S. Senators, is another
thing that has been big drawb back
to the Republican party. While
Wilmington is beyond a doubt a
Republican city it is impossible to
say what the result OF the coming
city election will be. The Repub.
licans will hold their primaries on
Saturday next and big fight is on
as men will be nominated for may
or, city solicitor, city treasurer,
tax collector and president of city
council. There are seversl candi.
dates in the field for each one OF the
positions and some hustling is being
done to get the voters out The
Republicans need something to wake
them up. The loss OF mayor
means The loss of the Street and
Sewer Department and the loss Of
City Council means the loss of sew
eral good city jobs.

Pompeii, a splendid Italian city, whose
people were distinguished for their cul-
ture and their refinement, was completely
covered, or buried out OF sight, by the ashes
that descended from an eruption OF VesuVius:

oack for mile or more. For seventeen hun
ired years the city wan completely lost. No
body knew Its site. But not 80 long ago, by
accident, the site of the city was discovered
And eince then the work OF clearing away
the ashes and uncoverlng the city has oeep
going on with more or less energy, revealing
he ruins of what was once a magnificent
city. Monuments. tombs, towers, balls, tenn
Piles, arches and private residences have been

While Pompeii was swallowed up In SIN
gle day, the accumulatiops around Dendy's
bridge have been gathering there for centu-
years, the original location of Dendy's bridge
| may not now be known. 1t may be dlscov-
| cred in later years. In olden times the roads
| that approached this bridge were high ana
steep Many vehicles In descending the bills
toppled over on the mules and horses, when
| every thing sank out of sight, In The mud, and
the washings from the hillsides have made

readers know, Is filled up TO meet the crest OF
the oweripg hills. 1t may be now imposs.

men, vehicles and animals went down, but
The discovery, like that OF Pompeii, Is sure to
be made. AS the excavations OF Pompeil re-

Incidents OF historic interest. Who knows
but what the whole county may be startled
by the discoveries In the foundations OF Den

been accumulatipg ever since the creek was a
good-sized spring branch, and before SaVan-
nah river was more than little riyulet. we
may expect the most wonderful discoveries
as 10 the pre- historic days. When that work
has been commenced, Abbevlle will cease TO
