ANOTHER PROTEST
FROM SUSSEX COUNTY
People There Frightened Be-
cause Prisoners Have
Liberty

The people Of Georgetown and some OF
the other towns in Sussex county are
again up In arms over the way In which
Sheriff Steele ia conducting the county
prison. There Is no complaint about the
kind OF food furnished or the quarters
provided for the prisoners. IN fact it IS
said that the food given she cuprits IS
good enough TO go On the shcriffs table.
The cels are heated and are as good, II
not better than a majority Of the people
confined there could enjoy IL they were
not being kept by the county. The inn
preston prevails in Sussex county chat
the Jail is regarded as a nice comfortable
place in which to spend the winter.
In scme cases the prisoners who are
serving sentence for the most serious
crimes are practically allowed thelr free
dom. Sometime ago the Evening Journal
called attention TO this fact and it was
hoped that ahe sheriff would change his
policy
II now appears THAT Lingo, the negro
who is serving a sentence for fclonious
assault is allowed 10 roam aro,md the
country. People living in that vicinay
paricularly women, are afraid. Every
time desperate criminal is sent no she
jail the people Of Georgetown experience
anccher fright. They do not know at
what time they will prey upon them
while ehey are being given board and
lodging at the county jail.
Seversl PROMINENT citizens Of George
town have repeatedly complained TO The
Evening journal. This letter was re-
ceived yesterday:
Georgetown, Del, November 25.
To the Editor OF dhe Evening Journal.
VIII you be kind enough to the people
Of Sussex county to again call the atten-
ltion OF the Honorable Judges Of The stlte
and the people TO the manner in which the
criminals OF Sussex county are cared 60
for. The county Jail IS simply used as a
boarding place for the worst criminals In
the State. They are brought here from all
parts Of the county and for all kinds Of
offenses. They are fed and clothed by the
taxpayers and permsited TO 80 all over
town
Lingo. the man who should be incarcar-
ated for the same crime that George
White was lynched for. IS given about ali
the liberty he wants. The sheriff sent him
down TO Frankford with his team on bus
iness one Cay last week, a distance OF
nDteen miles. 1 am opposed 10 lynch law

Ways in Which Those
of a Secular Turn of
Mind May Enjoy the
Great National HOH-
day

It is likely to be a cloudy Thanksgiving.
The weather man says the day probab Is
lwill be more cloudy than Ii was yesterday
when there was only twenty-seven per
cent. of SUNSHINE. Fresh northwest winds
are promised and if they come they are
likely to bring snow in their wake.
Some people like snow on Thanksgiving
Day, particularly ihe ghls and boys. who.
warmly clad. delight in sleding, cOascing
and making snow men. Tt IS not so well
come to the children of The poor, who
Hind IL difficult to keep warm in their
yscanly clothing. Neither is the snow well
come to the football players and lovers
of the spont.
The entire city wears a holiday air. and
one Of the most evident signs of the
times is the heavy railroad traffic. Peo
pie are going in all directions TO spend
Thanksgiving eat home"
Judging from the crowded markets OF
today and the ready buying, tomorrow
will be observed as a day of feasring.
The turkey, which time and custom have
made the central figure Of THE Thank sgiv-
ling spread, is both scarce and high. this
year. but there are quantities. of chicken
duck and goose TO take its place. These
fowls will be eaten in many private
homes, as we'll as by the inmates Of the
Institutions in which charitable Whining
ton abounds.
While many viii witness the football
A games, others will attend The matinee
4 performances at the theatres. at which
entertaining attractions viii be offered.
3 An the evening performances will be well
attended.
The foregoing is the secular side Of the
Z holiday. There Is another which appeals
TO those not so worldly inclined. These
find pleasure in attending the church SER
vices and returning thanks for the bless
ings and privileges of the year. Some OF
Wllmmgton's most eloquent ministers will
voice their sentiments and in numerous
