James,own's Tercentennry.

| Among the leading men in the Repub-
! lican party of the Old Dominion is Mr..
Hugh Gordon Miller, of Norfolk, who is
guest of the New Willard. Mr. Miller is
quite a young man. but he has spoken in
| the interest of his party in many of the
principal cities of the Union and he en-
joys the friendship of those who control
| the political destinies of the nation.
"All of tidewater Virginia" said he, SIS
keenly interested in the proposed tercen-
| tenary celebration of the settlement of
jamestown in 1907, and it ought to be the
most interesting celebration America has
ever known. At jamestown we're first
planted the seeds of civilization on the
Western Continent. But little of the orig
inal town remains. for nearly all of it is
covered with water. Among the ruins
there still remains the tower of the old
church in which Pocahontas was baptized.
The plan is for naval display in Hamp-
ton Roads and an exposition in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Norfolk.
We expect the United States Govern
ment will lend helping hand and that at
least the thirteen original States will
make adequate appropriation for repre-
sentatiou at the celebration

HOLDERS OF SIXTY TRIP TICKETS.
P. W. & B. Railroad Company Will Require
Photographs on Each Ticket.

The holders of 6O-trip tickets over
the z. w. & B. Railroad, who have
been purchasing them for the purpose
of having cheap rides for themselves
and extending the privilege to others
at a lower rate than charged by the
railroad company, will purchase fewer
books after the first of next month.
Orders have been issued for the pur-
chasers of 6O-trip tickets to have their
photographs taken in miniature to be
placed on the tickets, which will be
the means of the railroad conductor
having a chance to identify the rider as
the proper holder of the ticket.
Conductors of local trains have re-
ported the use of tickets several times
during the day by different persons
and not knowing who the proper per-
son was as the holder or owner could
not lift the ticket. Several men have
lost very much by such speculations
during the past two months and con-
sequently have gone out of the scalp
ing business.

ANOTHER EASTERN SHORE RAILROAD.
Queen Anne's Railway Extension to Salisbury
and Snow Hill aud ChincOteague.

The Love Point extension of the
Queen Anne's Railroad is expected to
be fully completed and in operation
within two weeks. 1t is learned on
good authority that the proposed
extension to Easton Trappe aid the
Choptank river opposite Cambridge
will then receive the attention of the
railroad officials.
In addition it is understood that the
business men of Salisbury Snow Hill
and Chincoteaque are agitating the
question OF inducing the Queen Anne's
Railroad to build a further extension
to their towns. The matter has been
brought to the attention of the railroad
officials and is being seriously con-
sidered by them. The proposed
extension would leave the main line of
the Queen Anne's Railroad at a point
between Denton and the Delaware
line. 1t would go directly south to
fredericksburg. From fredericksburg it
would run to Salisbury. From
Salisbury to Snow Hill. From Snow
Hill it would run to it's terminus which
would be a point near the Virginia
line not far from Chincoteaque Island.
The Maryland Legislature at its
coming session will be asked to exempt
from taxation for period of years the
proposed railroad line in the counties
of Caroline Dorchester Wlcomico anC
Worcester. The landowners along tn,
line of the proposed railroad are re-
ported to be willing to give the rail
road sufficient land for the location O
its track and depots. With these tw
inducements it is understood that tn
extension to Salisbury Snow Hill ,anC
Chiucoteaque Island will undoubtedl,
be bdilt.

DELAwARE'S SMALL RAILROAD MILEAGE.
1t and Rhode Island Have Less Than 500
Miles of Track-Delaware has 35l.

Delaware with the exception of Rhode
Island is the only State in the Union
that has less than 500 miles of railroad.
Delaware at present has 351 miles and
Rhode Island only 225.
At the close of the Civil War there
were $4,000 miles of railroad in the
United States, of which 4, 200 were in
Ohio, 5000 in Illinois, 1900 in Penn
sylvania, 2,7OO in New York, 2,1OO in
Indiana and l, 400 in Ge orgia.
There was at that time less than 80
miles of railroad each in Michigan and
Oregan, less than 100 miles each in
California and Arkansas, less than 80
miles in Kansas and less than 500 in
Texas.
The present length of American
railroads is 100000 miles and States
have among them more railroad mile
age than the whole country had at the
close of the Civil War.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY ADMINISTRATION.
First Year Marks a Decided Improvement in
Affairs and Finance.

The Republicans have been in con-
troll of the county's affairs and finances
Just one year and their administration
marks decided improvements over the
manner i'll which its interests were
looked after, or rather neglected, at
the hands of the Democrats. At the
last meeting of the Levy Court action
was taken to restore to the County
Treasury certain revenues it has long
been deprived Of
BY investigation of the Republican
members of the Court it Is found that
for years the county has received no
fines or forfeitures collected by the
cOnstables and the counsel for the
court was instructed to notify the
justices of the peace to furnish a list of
such fines and forfeitures to the Audi
tor, that this revenue belonging to the
county may be restored. Through the
laxity of the Democrats this law has
been ignored and the county has been
robbed of this revenue while the
constables have quietly dropped these
fines in their pockets.
This is but one of the reforms
brought about by a Republican Ad-
ministration in the Levy Court, and
no doubt others will follow in due
course of tlme.-DOrer State Sentinel
