Another Bridge Of Signs"


EDIToI LEADER:
In your issue Of January 90 appeared
a letter from IA citizen of Five Rivers
relative to the bridge we have petitioned
for above the farm of Frank Sets at a
point we call the upper ford. This cit.
izen says that he was surprised to see a
notice for bids on this bridge. Then he
hurries to say that "a bridge is badly
needed on Five Rivers" but proceeds
to show by misrepresentation, and even
by unmitigated falsehood, that we,
through lack of honor, conscience. citi.
zenship and common-sense. have petit
Toned for the bridge least needed.
Surely our honorable Court and Board
of Commissioners cannot think us such
a bad lot.
This citizens letter is villiarous, and
came from motives of self-interest only,
He wrote, he said, in hehalf of the
Board of Commissioners and the tax
payers of the county. Itcannot be true.
He wrote solely in behalf Of himself.
In behalf of taxpayers? No, for he
wants u bridge badly, but he wants it
where he wants it, or not at all. He
to assume the airs of a saint, a perfect
angel, but what would he see in a look
lug glass? He ought, as the Irish
Captain said, "step out of the ranks
and take a look at himself" Nearly
every statement he makes is a mistake
or preyarication. would like to have
one refer to any person familiar with
the case. Such person will tell you
that what this "Citizen" letter states is
not true. There are two fords on Five
River which people must cross-the
upper and lower. The ''citizen'' says
the upper can be forded when the lower
cannot. Now, that is not II fair state
ment. Fact is when the upper cannot
be forded the lower cannot either.
This fact is a point in favor of a bridge
on upper ford, as those below could get
out better than by the lower ford. The
lower ford bridge would cost four times
as much as would the upper. The low.
er ford is always smooth, the banks not
bad. The upper ford is frightful from
approach to finish. the terror of the
whole road the banks are difficult
both in and out it is a ford that will
harrow up your soul, winter or summer
and it cannot practically be changed
or bettered. This is the place where a
bridge is badly needed on Five Rivers.
A bridge is needed, of course, at the
lower ford too; it would be fine to have
it. But we know quite as we'll as the
Citizen" that our county cannota afford
every bridge that would be handy.
Therefore, carefully remembering 10
keep justice to the county fully
abreast with fair play for Five Rivers,
we petitioned only for a bridge at this
upper ford, deeming it without doutt
the most needed, and at the same time
a demand reasonable, far and sensible.
The letter of the "Citizen''is SANDER
u to the people Of Five Rivers.
Everyone is dumbfounded as to who in
all the country could or would have
written such a traitorous document.
All are agreed that its author is a
chronic kicker or one who has an aX 10
grind, or, at least. one who is not much
of "a citizen of Five Rivers"
And surely that is putting it mildly.
Respectfully, FIVE RIVERS.

WILMINGTON BUSINESS
MEN VISIT BRICK PLANT
New Industry Viewed by In
terested Parties Who Are
Pleased at Work

In the last few days many prominent
Wilmington business men have visited the
new brick plants Of the Diamond Stone
Brick Company on the South Side and
have been convinced that in the new
plant the city will have an industry of
which it may truly be proud.
These visitors found that large two
story building had been erected of bricks
made on the ground. and there a great
brick-maling machine was In operation
20 Illustrate the process. In the rear of
the press building bricklayers were at
work laying the walls of the new boiler
house. These bricks are new to this part
of the world, but there are many works
of a similar character scattered through
out the country. Bricks are made Of lime
and sand, and they can be made of any
desired color, an accomplishment that
suggests no end of building advantages,
and especially as there Is a desire to get
away from the old-time monotony Of red
bricks.
The officers OF the company are: Charles
Warner, president; II. o. Duerr, vice-pres-
ident and general manager; William p.
White, treasurer; Horace G. Knowles,
secretary.

A NEW TUeERcuLolsls CURE.

A BERLIN professor has discovered
1 n a new method of treating con-
sumption. He argues that the REM
edies usually employed fail utterly be-
cause they never reach the diseased
parts at all. Consequently. his method
aims to apply the remedies to the lungs
themselves The trachea and larnyx
are made insensible by local anesthetics,
and then by means Of tube medicines
are carried into the lungs. AS tuber-
culosis is the result OF bacilli in the
organs certainly these may be destroy

VERY BAD ADVICE.

THE Grand Jury the other day dis
Il missed a bill against a farmer
charged with shooting a person who
was stealing his pears We don't
know anything about the merits OF that
case, but as the facts are generally un-
derstood. we do know something about
the principle Of law Involved. In many
Instances farmers suffer from the dep
relations Of tramps and boys, and as
there are no rural police, they are
tempted to resort to desperate reme-
dies
But the use OF a deadly weapon is not
authorized by law save in instances
where Il Is necessary to protect human
life. That is law everywhere; we didn't
make 1t. and our approval or disapprov-
al is not necessary. The Every Even
ing in an editorial seems to encourage
the use OF shot-guns to protect prop
erty; it is dangerous advice, and should
every hrmer act upon it, somebody
would have TO face a serious charge in
court. Theft does not justify murder
and It Is the part of a public journal
to discourage rather than encourage
the use OF deadly weapons.

4 NEW BUILDING MATERIAL

THE making OF bricks without straw
Il promises now to be Succeeded by
the making OF bricks without clay. That
this is not mere impractical dream
may be inferred from the fact that
one Of our oldest as well as one Of our
most progressive concerns has installed
machinery sunicient to turn out 10000
bricks per day. larger output than
wilmington can use. but viii probably
not exceed the demand from Chester,
Philadelphia and other nearby points.
Since this firm has spent two years
in making its Investigations there is
assurance that this Is practical dis
covery which is likely to figure largely
in building operations of the future
The chief ingredient is fine sand. and
as this may be found in almost any
community, and as its chief cost Is
transportation we suspect that the
claims that It can be made cheaper
than clay brick can be sustained There
Is no firing. in the ordinary sense tc
be done. and the unevenness produced
in baking is avoided.
There is a probability that the peo-
pie OF lower Delaware and the resi-
dents Of the coast towns win come te
find the best building material consist
ing in that which is cheapest, and thai
which is at their very doors. with th'
sand brick made a success. many prob
