There is one thing our city
and county officials save the
young folks of, and that is of
listening to the long stories of
their parents of how things
were when they were boys and
girls. A father can't say to a
son or daughter who says
anything against our graded
school, MY dear, you should
see the old school-house your
father was educated in," for
that is what the youngster is
talking about, it's the same
old house; that the old court
house use to look so-and-so,
for it looks the same to-day,
only a little more attractive to
the admirers of antiquity;
that he can remember when
the streets of the town we're
not lighted at night, for the
youngsters all remember that;
that he can remember when
we had no turnpikes in the
county, for where are they
now! that he knew of a time
when there was not an opera
house or public hall in the
city for public entertainments,
for where are they now? that
there was a time when Ander-
son county had no home for
her poor, for she has none
now; that, in his younger
days, people lived easy and did
not keep up with the energy
and push of prosperous towns
and counties, for who is over
working themselves now!

aovERHoR,s DAY

REHoBoTH, DEL, July 10th This has
been a glorious and eventful day for Re
hoboth and more especially for the First
Delaware Infantry. Veritably it may be
designated as the greatest day in al the
history Of the quiet resort skirting the
broad Atlantic, and at the same time It
was premier day for the regiment
which has been undergoing the pleasures
and the exacting duties Of actual military
life in the field.
Arrival Of the Governor
Governor HUM and many Of his party
arrived on the regular train over the
Pennsylvania Railroad, but many MEM
bers of his official military bodyguard
had arrived either last evening or earlier
in the morning on the special excursion
train.
As the train drew up at the station
about 1890 o'clock, Adiutant-General J..
Pusey Wickersham and his orderly, Ser
geant Frank Mccall, were there to re-
ceive him. Accompanying the Governor
we're: Mrs. HUM, Miss Alice HUM,
United States Senator ]. Frank Alice and
Secretary OF State Caleb r. Layton. The
Governor paused for few moments to
grasp the hands extended by his ad-
mirers, and then was escorted with other
members OF his party to large carry-all.
drawn by prancing double team. They
were driven to the Hotel Henlupen.
Members OF the Governors staff pro-
ceeded to the headquarters of Adjutant-
General Wickersham, where they were
entertained at dinner by Colonel A. F.
Matlack, in the absence OF the Adjutant
General who remained with the Cover
nor for awhile.
Skirting the sentry lines many persons
deep was wall Of humanity, the woman
brightly gowned, the men in the garb of
these summer days, and myraid Of
variagated parasols topping over all.
About four thousand persons were in the
panorama of color and life. About two
hundred feet away, drawn up in one long
line were the GuardsmeD, every man
attired in the yellow khaki uniforms
which seems to bestow upon the men
lack of individuality. Every man was
mute and motionless. Their poise was
faultless, and from the side lines, the
spectators could scarcely detect culver
in the figures of the soldiers drawn up so
tensely.
Between them and the viewing thous-
ands were members of the governors
staff, attired in their uniforms of blue,
with glistening gold braid trimmings, and
shining swords and scabbards dangling
from their sides, while the central figure
of all was the governor in his sombre
clad.
When Colonel Townsend indicated his
readiness the governors party passed
along the front of the column, Adjutant-
General Wickersham and Colonial Town
send walking beside the governor, while
members of the staff were accompanied
by Major James L. France, Captain James
H. Lofand and Chaplain Francis NJ.
Munson. Sergeant Frank Mccall and
Color Sergeant Gray, carrying the gov
ernor's Standard, brought up the rear.
After passing before the line the party |
proceeded along the rear, the men all the
time standing unfinchingly. After the
the regiment was dismissed
and the men went to quarters.

aooD ROADS

The State Road Commission
ers spent a day this week with
their engineer in surveying the
road from Middletown to Odessa,
and in examining the gravel pits
of the neighborhood, with a view
to improving the condition Of that
thoronghfare. While The TRAN
SCRIPT has been in favor of the
construction of good roads along
the line Of the present State
Road, we realize that under pre-
sent conditions, it is impossible
to secure this. We believe that
the future appropriation by the
Legislature of State funds for
road building depends upon the
proper expenditure of the fund
already appropriated and the
proper distribution of the i'm
provements. We feel sure that
the Levy Court has made a SER
ious mistake in contracting for
more than two miles of road be-
tween Wilmington and Farnhurst
at an average of nearly $1,000
per mile, and we can only hope
tilat they may see the error of
their way before it is too late.
The TRANSCRIPT was one of the
first papers in Delaware to urge
reform in our road laws, and
has continued to do so in season
and out of season, because we
have believed it was for the best
interests of the whole commun-
ity. But there is in this case, as
in all reforms, opposition. Some
of the kickers are honest in be-
lieying that it was not good pol
icy, some merely because they
are kickers, but by far the larger
number, because they believed
that all the money would be ex-
pended on the roads in and about
the city of Wilmington, in order
to furnish boulevards or drives
for the residents of that city. Of
course, we are speaking now of
the condition in this county. If
for no other reason, the Levy
Court should spread these ap-
preparations, to contract this line
of argument. To do as it has
started is to proclaim one or two
facts. The members, or the ma
jority of them, are actuated by
the purely selfish motives Of Sc
curing to their own districts the
entire appropriation, or as they
are opposed to further improve
ment and desire to prevent fur
ther appropriations by encour-
aging opposition.

SOME FACTS

There is an evident intent in a
certain clique or faction to create
the belief that all Of the praise
for the present healthy condition
of this County's finances is due
to the management and direc-
ton of Mr.. Chandler, now Presi-
dent of the Levy Court. We
have no desire to detract from
the credit of any of the Republi-
can majority who have brought
about the condition. When a
bankrupt county treasury with
500, 600 Of floating Indebtedness
is changed 1.-two years to one
with a surplus of over $50, 900
and all bills paid, with a reduc-
ton of the tax rate from 80 cents
to 65 cents, in the words Of
Schley at Santiago: "There is
glory enough for ALL" But when
toadyism or spite attempt to
place all the credit on one man,
we rise to protest, and our pro-
test lies against the Wilmington
journals, who not only lend their
columns to this work, but by
their editorials endorse it. 1t
has been said that Republicans
are ungrateful. For nearly a
year, Mr.. Willis who had been
appointed by the Governor as a
Levy Court Commissioner, aided
bv Commissioners Elliott and
Chandler fought the Combine"
that was in control. They were
only successful when the efforts
of the Attorney General had
forced the resignation Of one of
the acombine. Then Mr.. Willis
was elected President, and it is
the work of his term that has
brought about the present tinan-
cialcondition. It was in his term
that the first reduction of 10
cents was made in the tax rate.
1t:Was in his term that the ap-
preparations were made for the
year which has just ended. And
II viii be found by an examina-
tion of the 'sunexpended appro-
priations" thatgo to make up the
treasury balance, that it was
largely due to Its economy in
directing expenditures that large
sums were saved. In his own
district, q large percentage of
his appropriation still remains
s. the Treasury, and it is not
because he has not kept his roads
and bridges in repair. From a
,,oraonal and intimate knowledge
Middletown transcript., 1903-07-18


Of the condi ditions prevailing in
the two lower hundreds for the
past fifteen years, we feel safe
in asserting that never was the
county work in better shape.
This has been accomplished by
a careful selection of supervisors
and by close scrutiny of the
work of the supervisors. We do
not believe that Mr.. Willis is
entitled to all the praise for the
county's conditions, but we do
insist that he be. accorded his
just share, and that without re-
ducing in any way the share due
t., any other member.
