A very lively family row was
one of the results of the conven-
tion held at Dover by the auti-Ad-
dicks Republicans last Tuesday,
and 1t now looks as if the various
camps in that body of Republi-
cans, would develop a serious rock
on which the very organization
will split, by reason of the wide
divergence of opinions. As mat
tiers now stand, the Higgins camp
has captured the State Committee,
while the dupont followers are a
good second and Senator Ball with
his friends sharing the balance of
the honors with the Nields bunch.
The scene last Tuesday in the
convention at Dover. reminded the
looker-on very much of that other
time in May of 1896, when the same
forces rebelled against the major
ity of the Republicans of Delaware,
and bolted the convention and af-
terwards set up their present or
ganization. At times the conven-
ton of last Tuesday was danger
ously near the point of open fight
ing, but the more cautious preven-
led any open blows being struck.
speeches were made on the floor,
n which the necessity for the Re-
of Delaware to elect
heir Governor was clearly set 8
orth, and on that basis the new /
membership of the State Commit d
zee was chosen. The necessity of
aiming strong men for those posi- d
ions was recognized by the lead b
RS, and the fight was made and
'on by the Higgins followers for A
len who they could trust to act u u
18th wisdom, and not men who ;,
.ould be governed by personal p
aired or ambitions. It was a de- p,
dedly lively convention. al

SENATOR ALLEE has been ap-
pointed a member of the Congress-
ional Republican Committee, and
another point of controversy set
tied, The two Senators from Del
aware could not agree upon who
should be named for the place, so
Mr.. Babcock solved the matter for
them by appointing Senator Alice.
In explaining why he made his de-
cision, Mr.. Babcock said, that as
Delaware had no representative in
the lower branch of Congress, and
the two Senators could not agree,
he thought the fairest solution of
the matter was to take a represen-
tative from the greater number of
Republicans in Delaware, hence the
naming of Senator Alice.

IN many localities of the two
lower counties of Delaware, the pub
lie roads have been put into good
condition, and especially is this
true of such sections where the
soils permits good materials to be
had for road building; but there
are only too many places where the
soil and sub-soil do not afford the
kind of materials from which to
even repair the roads, and yet the
labor Of scraping and blowing on
them involves the same amount of
expenditure. 1t would be far bet
teT toT the counties to follow a diff
fefent plan in such cases, and use
either stone or shells for road re-
pairing. On a short piece of road
in the town limits of Milford this
plan was tried as an experiment
three years ago. The road-bed
was nothing but sand; it was plowed
scraped up to pretty sharp round
and then about four inches of
crushed stone put over it. On this
a binder of gravel to the depth of
an inch was spread and the road
turned out to the public without
even rolling it. To-day after three
years of heavy teaming over it, the
road shows but little if any wear.
The cost was less than one thous-
and dollars per mile. If plan of
this character could be put into
the bad sections of roads
would soon be out of existence. and
the excellent gravel roads of other
places could be improved later.
The road question is one in which !
the farmers are deeply interested, t
and as they pay most of the taxes, t
hey should have first considera- a
ion. 7

If the farmers of this part O
Delaware could be awakened tc
the advantage of growing the i'm.
proved grades fcattle, many would
hnd the growing of stock for beef
purposes more profitable than cul-
tivation of the soil in grain and
fruits. As an instance of the truth
OF this it is only necessary to. refer
to facts which have been worked
ont in the past FIVE years, when
the Pole Angus cattle we're intro
duced into this part of Delaware
by William Simpson, who now
has two large herds on his farm
and grazing lands in both Milford
and Slaughter Neck. A banner
heitfer was butchered from his
herd this week by local butcher
which weighed over six hundred
POUNDS, ana made some of the very
finest beef that has been sold in
Milford market for a long time.
The cost of producing this animal
was no more than the ordinary
stock that would not have butchered
much over half the pounds in
weight, which represents a clear
gain. In riding by the grazing
herds on our marshes this week
several scrub bulls were noticed
