on Thursday that Mr. Glass may insti-

1t was intin1ated in the agreement
signed by counsel that no effort would
be made by the Board of Canvassers to
canvass the vote Of the State pending

by Mr.. Wise to the case of Mr. Glass.
This action is binding only on the Board

He is under no obligation, legal or moral.
to refrain from a resort to ma ndamus in

conference with lawyers with view to
determining the best method of proceed

the State Board of Canvassers, through
their counsel. are morally bound to no.

LINCOLN CITY NOTES.

The peach season closed the early part Of
this week. Tomatoes are taking the place
Of peaches,and have been selling at 25 cents
per basket at the station. The writer trav-
eled over:the Eastern Shore OF Maryland two
weeks ago, and saw many fine fields OF to-
matoes. Farmers that did not contract last
spring, were contracting them at sIO5O per
ton; because they could not get baskets to
ship in.
Mr. Chas. Shew has returned to New York
after a ten days visit with his parents.
Messrs. Symonds and Rice picked some Ell
berta peaches that weighed ten ounces each,
and measured nearly foot in circumference.
Mr.. S. c. Cubbage and family spent last
week on the Eastern Shore OF MARYLAND. and
at Rehoboth.
Mr. William Morrison has returned to
Philadelphia, after a two weeks visit with
friends and relatives.
Mrs Lizzie Thompson, OF Philadelphia, is
visiting Mrs. B. M. Cain.
Mr.. Charles Shew and lady friend were
out driving last Saturday night, and when

SeIbyYiIIe Farmers ENCOURAGED.

As a result Of the great demand for
peaches and the good prices this year
number of farmers in that section
are planning to set out new orchards,
and the indications are that in a few
years this will be one of the great
peach centres of the State. For a
number Of years the crop was fail
ure, and in those years when the trees
bore well there was generally a glut,
and as result the farmers were not
paid for their trouble, which caused
many to pull up their trees and use
the ground for more profitable farm
ing. 1t looks now, however, as if there
had been decided change for the
better, and the growers feel highly en-
cOuraged. All the season there has
been a pleasing demand for good fruit.
and, as a rule, the prices have been sat
isfaetOry. If this condition continues
peach raising will again be profitable.
Although not as important a point
as Bridgeville, Selbyville is a great
shipping centre for farmers in that part
of Sussex county. In the strawberry
season some heavy shipments were
made. At one time twelve cars a day
were sent away for three consecutive
days. During the season about one
hundred car loads were shipped.
Only about one-half of the potato
crop has been moved, and it is estima.
ted that the farmers in that section
still have from 10000 to 5000 barrels.
The farmers have begun to cut fod-
der. Topping and stripping is done
here, and as a result there is an ample
supply of good horse feed. Hay is not
raised in abundance here, fodder being
substituted. The corn crop is fairly
good
The results from berries were so good
this year that some of the farmers con-
template extending their business in
that direction, and as a result 1t is ex-
peoted that they will be able to load
from 20 to % cars day in the height
of the season

A Cool Summer.

This has been the coolest summer
in years, according to Weather Bureau
officials. and hot waves have been few
and far between. June and July were
like September, and August has been
more like October, Judging by the
temperatures. A long hot wave may
yet even up things, but long hot waves
after the middle Of August are rather
exceptional.
