In the death of George Frisbie Hoar,
senior senator from Massachusetts,
which occurred Friday morning, the
nation has lost one of its ablest and
most stslwart statemen. The greater
part of his life has been given up to pub
lie service and he has served his country
and state with distinction and ability.
Men of the type and character of Sena-
tor Hoar are the exception in these days
of greedy Office seeking, for now days
the man in most cases seeks the office
instead of the Office the man. Senator
Hoar was called to public service early
in life and he has been honored time
and again because of his peculiar fit-
ness and recognized ability.

There was much regret on the part
of all Republicans who are interesting
in seeing one state ticket, that COM
promise was notreached last Thursday.
Aftsr spending seven hours in trying
to fix up harmony the State Central
Committees of each faction adjourned
with the question of harmony as far off
as ever. The Republicans have until
the 18th to get together and there
are many who are sangulne enough to
believe that before this date shall have
passed, there will be one ticket.
Those who have become weary of fac
tional strife would welcome such a
course.

Railway disasters involving great
loss of life are occurring too often.
Statistics show that more persons
we're killed and wounded last year on
the railroads of the United States than
have been killed and wounded up to
the present time in the war between
Russia and Japan. This year prom
ises to exceed the last in casualties by
rail.

Henry C.Payne, Postmaster General,
member of the National Republican
Committee and identified with the his
tory of that party for many years, died
at 6. 10 o'clock last night in his apart
ments in the Arlington Hotel, Wash
lngtOn, d. G. He was 60 years old.
The death of Postmaster General
Payne removes one of the most active
members of President Roosevelt's
Cabinet and man of singular power
aud ability. He has given good SER
vice to his country and his death is
much lamented.

Herniam In AnfmaIa.

Animals are capable of what we
should call -heroism in man. In one
field was a donkey. in another horse.
Through the first went mastiff and
made for the ass. seized him by the
thcoat. pulled him down. and that so
suddenly that the donkey looked like
ly to be killed. The horse in the next
field leaped the hedge dividing the
two pastures. cOllared the dog with
his teeth. swung him and like a base
ball player caught him. on the fall
with his heels. The mastiff was whisk-
ed over the hedge which the horse
had just crossed, and the donkey was
left in peace to recover from his
wounds.

OCTOBER MAGAZINES.

No other American magazine is
publishing, from month to month,
anything like the amount of campaign
material that appears in the successive
numbers of the ReUieW Of Review.
The editorial presentation of the vari-
GUS issues in that periodical closely
follows the trend of the national can
vass, and no important development is
overlooked. In connection with the
appearance of Judge Parker's letter of
acceptance, ,&he October number of the
Review has an interesting discussion
of the charges of extravaganza against
the Roosevelt administration and an
exposition of the famous "Order No.
7S." There is also extended comment
on the New York State situation and
the comparative strength and weak
ness OF the opposing gubernatorial
candidates, Justice Herrick and Lieu
tenant Governor Higgins. The "Car-
toons of the Campaign" this month,
are the best of the season.
The October WOman'8 Home Com
paniOn makes good the boast that it is
an ''alround" magazine. Besides
articles of especial interest to wometf
on Fashions, Home Entertainments.
Cookery, ETC., there is an unusual
number of timely features. Lee Fair
child writes on "The Funny Side OF a
Political Campaign" there are four
unusual unpublished portraits of the
Presidential candidates; David Balasco,
in his "Advice to the Girl with ORA
matte Ambitions" gives some inside
information as to how to get on the
stage; Morgan Robertson, the we'll
known writer of sea-tales, has a thrill
ing description of the submarine boat,
'"The Peace Making Terror of the
Seas" The great serial, "The King
of Diamonds" begins in this number
and there are excellent short stories by
j. L. Harbour, Sara Amber and Gil
bert Wilson. Published by The
Crowell Publishing Company, Spring
field. Ohio; one dollar year; ten
cents a copy.

FARMERS have reaped a good thing
from the tomato crop in this vicinity.
which with the splendid peach crop of
August has meant much to them. At
a conservative estimate over $500, 900
has been placed in circulation from
peaches, and $45, 900 from tomatoes,
to say nothing of the plum, apple and
other crops. Aside from this the
wheat and corn crop has been excel
lent and high prices have prevailed.
While large majority received from
Soc. to 90c. per bushel for their wheat,
there are others who were more for
tunate and sold for a dollar. Take it
all in all this has been one of the most
successful seasons for our farmers in
years and has awakened an interest
an agricultural pursuits that may tend
toward higher prices in land. Thou
sands OF peach and plum trees will be
set out this year and unless all signs
fail, this vicinity will be one Of the

SUPERINTENDENT Walter Letherbury
of the Peninsula Railway Company,
still gives out assurance that the troll
ley line will be built to Smyrna. At
the present time Middletown is having
all the excitement in trolley line and
good roads movement and when the
work is completed there the extension
will be made down the State to Town
send and Smyrna While business
men of Smyrna generally, have not
much faith in the trolley movement
and do not expect it until it becomes
an actual fact. there is nevertheless a
strong sentiment prevailing in Smyrna
and Clayton for just such thing as
Middletown is getting. A trolley
down the State connecting with the
Delaware City line for Wilmington
would be a boon to Delaware and
there is no reason why it could not be
made profitable investment. Smyrna
has already granted right of way
through its streets and it is under
stood that Clayton will soon take
steps toward granting concessions
since those who opposed it in the
Council resigned few weeks ago and
that successors favorable to the trolley
may be elected. But Smyrna and
Clayton need something more than
the trolley. They need macadamized
road such as is being built between
Middletown and Odessa. The amount
~ travel between Smyrna and Clay
ton, only mile apart, is very exten-
sive and warrants such a road being
built. The Middletown NeW Era in
speaking of their improvements and
what it promises for their progressive
town, says as follows:
''The new macadam road between
Odessa and Middletown is now nearly
finished, the contractors, Messrs.
Stewart & Donohue, of Wilmington,
expecting, with good working weather
to complete the job in a weeks time,
State Highway Commissioner Horri-
gan inspected the work on Tuesday,
and expressed himself as being very
much pleased with the work, COM
plimenting the contractors for their
good work. The road is certainly q
fine one. it being a pleasure to drive
over it, and no doubt will be greatly
appreciated by pleasure seekers, to
say nothing of the advantages to
farmers and others having to haul
heavy loads to and from our own and
sister town of Odessa. With such adj.
vantages as the trolley and the new
macadam road afford to the eastward,
and with the already far advanced
work of grading and other prepare,
tions for the railway to our Maryland
towns of Warwick, Cecilton, George
town and Fredericktown on the west,
Middletown promises soon to become
centre of business. And while We
are mentioning the fact, we should
not fail to note the fact that ere long,
we are assured by Supt. Letherbury
the trolley will be extended in botf
directions, north from Odessa to Del
aware City, by st. Georges and Port
Penn, and south to Smyrna, by Town
send and other points. May the good
work so far advanced still go on.

A Chess Grub.

The deyotees of chess, which
constitute a large number here,
have grown tired of meeting in
private Offices, store rooms and
other places for the enjoyment of
their sport and on Monday or
ganized a club with Col. w. G..
Richards president and MIR.
Chas. Hale secretary and treas
urer. It is the intention of the
club to rent and fit up suitable
quarters where they can have
their meetings and contests and
the members look forward to
many pleasant hours and meet
ings as a resdlt of their move.
The membership is constituted
in the following: Messrs. ]. H.

The Servant Problem.

The negroes down our way are
holding their meetings. We do
not know what they are discuss
ing, but we can tell from their
manner as they pass and salute
the white people that they are up
to no good. They are under the
influence of a few of their race
who have just a smattering of ed
ucation-just enough to enable
them to read and to learn that
Teddy is busy. and that the Re
publicans are exhibiting white
girls and negro boys on the
platform where they hold their
political convention. They have
no doubt come to the conclusion
that now is the time for the ne
groes to do something, and it is
hard to say just what direction
their action will take.
The above from a prominent
citizen of Greene county calls to
mind the fact that many of our
citizens believe that secret or
ganizations exist here on the
part of the colored people whose
purpose is. to a great extent, to
disrupt the cordial relations
which have existed between the
races here for so many years.
Indeed, so pronounced have be-
come the views of some of the
people that even names of colored
men have been mentioned as
those who are probably at
the head of these disturb
ing movements and retaliatory
measures have been suggested
in defense of the troubles which
the people of Columbus are
having with their servants at the
present time. 1t IS heard that a
cooks union exists. Certain it
is that the cook problem has be-
come aggravated in the past few
months and it is limited that the
Citizens Protective League may
be called into service TO solve
some of the troubles which are
developing in the local situation.

Routes Inspected.

Supt. w. G. Watson was in the
city Monday and yesterday spent
the day in company with Mr.. L.
B. Sharp, of the McCrary neigh
borhood, in going over the Nc
Crary route. The petition for
this route was fled several
months ago and it is intended to
serve that section bounded by
the Ethelville route on the east,
the Steens route on the north
and the New Hope route on the
west, a little section not yet en-
joying the advantages of rural
free delivery Mr. Watson went
over the route and made a care
full examination of it and will
make his report to the depart
ment on the advisability of es-
tablishing service from McCrary.
While he did not give out any in
formation relative to his conclu-
sion in the matter, from the fact
that other sections, east of this
city with equal road advantages
and population about equal to
the number of this neighborhood,
have been favorably reported and
acted upon. it is reasonable to
hope that rural free delivery will
be extended to this section also.
The people of Caledonia will,
no doubt, be interested in hear
ing something from the Hearon
route or route No. 4. This pc
tition was fled in the latter part
of last year and this route will
serve the Nye Hearon neighbor-
hood, a section which at the
present time is without free de-
livery. Mr. Watson was asked
concerning this route and stated
that it would be some time, prob
ably as long as ninety days be-
fore it could be inspected. He
lad thirty petitions which haYe
been sent him by the department
which come ahead of this petition.
which has never been forwarded
to him yet. Mr.. Watson said
that as soon as he received the
petition with the department S
endorsement for an inspection OF
the route, he would give it his at
tention.

The Columbus, Memphis and Pensa.
cola Railroad

President Newman Cayce and
Mr.. Charles Sherrod, one of the
directors of the Columbus, Mem
phis and Pensacola Railroad, left
last Sunday for Chicago where
they go to meet and confer with
President A. J. Davidson, of the
Frisco system, in regard to this
enterprise. They go in response
to an engagement and will lay
their undertaking before this of
fetal and endeavor to interest
him in the question of its con-
structon and development.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that they will be successful.
They have the route surveyed; /;
they have assurances of terminal
facilities at Amory; they have
twenty miles of the right of way
between this city and Amory do
mated; they have subscriptions of
stock and the support of the Col
um bus people committed to the
road, and with this showing it is
confidently expected that they
will interest the Frisco.
Should the Frisco decide to un.
-dertake building the road it will
be an easy and comparatively
cheap route for them to put in
operation. This road already
has the bridge necessary at
Aberdeen and its terminal faciI.
tiles and their line to Aberdeen
would save building beyond. The
route from the latter point to
Columbus is about thirty miles
and it is free from physical OBJ
structions with the exception of
bridging ButtahatchIe.
President Cayce and Director
Sherrod will make every effort
to get the Frisco to take up their
pro e t Both are we'll
qualified for the task which they
have undertaken. Judge Cayce
is accustomed to railroad work,
such as that he has undertaken,
and Mr.. SherrOd is experienced
in large enterprises and is fa-
miliar with the one in hand.
They will be in Chicago the
greater part of this week and
will return home before Sunday.
1t is hoped that their visit will
result in the fruition of all of our
hopes and aspirations in this
direction and that it will result
in the road being built.
