To the surprise of many, the VIII
minaton A. A. took both games from
the Altoona team last week. Several
had expressed the opinion that the
visitors would not lose both games to
the local club. but that is what they
did. and it is to the good playing oil
the A. A. men that Altoona owes lis
defeat. Fast fielding and timely bat
ting scored the victory in Saturday S
game.
Manager Frysinger's men are getting
hack into their old time form, and are
plaving a good game once more. Vel,
who is supposed to be the star twirler
Of the Altoona team, was put in the
box AGAINST the locals, and was very
effective. allowing them but four hits.
They were all timely, however, and al
ways counted. McFeuidge pitched tof
wilmington, and put up a good game.
Today Camden will play at South
Side Park. and on Tuesday Altoona
will be here again.

WILMINGTON TAXES ANOTHER

Manager Wiea nd's team completed
another week OF victories on Saturday,
when the Haddon field Club went down
before the local len. If the Whining
ton team wins We more games this

which is twenty five straight games,
which is held by the Charlotte IN. c.

week that looks doubtful, and that is
the one with Chester, on Friday. How
ever, Manager Wiegand has defeated
that club before. and he feels confident
that he can do it again. Today the
local men go TO M iddletown, and to-
morrow they will play at Smyrna.
Wednesday and Thursday they will be
at home with Pottsv lille, will play Ches-
ter on Friday. and the strong Brandy

The question Of the bridges over the Shen

IL is an enterprise we should not carelesslv

The matter should he thOughtly ventilated
So chat we may act with our eyes open.
Il seemed a great venture for the County
/ of Clarke Ia give 10000 Ia the Valley
Railroad, and Yet think there are few to-
day who would wish that subscription
recalled. and be without the railroad. with
all its faults
The most. If not the only. serious ohec-
tion to the building of the bridges. is the
! increased taxation necessarily involved: our
rate of taxation now being about one per
cent
Our County has shown its ability to carry
the railroad tax; and if these bridges can be
built. including approaches and fair com,en-
Sation 20 the owners of the ferries. for $40

Good Roads.

The subject of good roads seems to
be uppermost in the minds of the
people and most properly, as it is one
of the most important to the great
majority of the citizens of this country
and most particularly of this State
which practically has the same anti
quated methods of our forefathers an
hundred years ago.
While this state spends four hun.
dred thousand dollars each year on
the roads we have nothing to show in
the way of improvement because we
have progressed in all other matters
except this alone. During the past
fifteen years | have travelled over the
roads of at least ten counties of the
state in various sections and find the
most important factor of good roads
almost absolutely neglected, viz
drainage, for without drainage the
best road in the world will soon
become the worst and throughout all
the state the result, if no. the inten.
ton, seems to have been TO make the
center of the county road the drain
for all the contiguous country. Con.
sequently if the supervisors would
first thoroughly ditch both sides of
the road sufficiently to relieve them
of as much moisture as possible, and
If law be enacted compelling the
gradual introduction Of wagon tires
not less than three, or better, four
inches wide, the road question would
solve itself.
AS far as this county is concerned
and | think to a large extent the same
difficulty affects most of the state, is
the foolish method of dividing the
districts and consequently the appro.
priations into such small particles
that each one is helpless, whereas if
theentire county would work together
and employ an educated and practi
cal engineer of experience to combine
the machines and mules owned by
the various districts and engage a
suitable number of laborers who
would work together, learn their
various duties and assist each other,
the money that is now spent would
be more than sufficient to give us
better roads and rebuild many miles

But there seems TO be a foolish
Jealousy between the different dis

are caused not by nature but by the

by the powers that be.
The present method is such a pal

would practically be impossible to
find worse one than we now have

Col. Charles Marshall.

No more distinguished Southerner
has been laid to rest in recent years
than Col. Charles Marshall, of Balti-
more. He was the military secretary
of Gen. r. E. Lee during the Civil
War, and was nearer to that great
man than any other Confederate off
Ger. Colonel Marshall drafted the
terms Of surrender at Appomsttox,
and was the only officer accompanying
General Lee at that time.
His career at the bar reflects
credit on the legal profession, of
which be was an honored member.
Judge Morris directed the following
minutes 10 be entered in the pro-
ceedings of the United States Circuit
Court in his memory:
"rhe long, honorable and brilliant
career Of Colonel Marshall as an ad-
vocste in this court has been a high
example OF the devotion of great
ability, energy and exceptional intel
lectusl gifts TO the protection of the
rights intrusted to his care and the
elucidation of legal controversies
He never failed to illume the diff
culties of any case by his great
power of logical reasoning, his quick
perception of the relation of facts,
his ability as an examiner of wit
nesses, his most acute insight into
sophistries and his power as a
speaker. His memory will remain
with all who knew him as bright
example of great lawyer, devoted
to his profession and exhibiting in
his professional career the highest
honor in his relations with the court,
with his brethren of the bar and ia
his clients.
