AFTER TWO YEARS OF TALK

After two years of continuous talk
and constant wrangiIng Tommy Lowe
and Danny Lewis have at last been
matched for a fifteen-rornd go.
Not since Lewis fought Kid Sullivan
and gave the Kid one of the hardest
struggles of his career has there been
a match between Washington scrappers
which has attracted so much attention
as the prospective encounter between
these boys. Each has n large following,
each is a capable scrapper and each has
shown such unexpectedly good form in
his past bouts that the critics have been
puzzled to pick the probable winner

near Washington on September 90, or
within ono or two days OF that date.

Me Thinks The Lady Doth Protest
Too Much

Hon. Henry X. Tnrbcrt,
Editor Cecil Wing.
In reading the last issue of the Wing
we notice that Mr. William s. Evans
has written Il letter on the subject Of the
Octoraro Creek. Mr.. Evans says that
he is prompted to take IL hand in the
discussion out of consideration for him
self. ME thinks the lady doth protest
too much" With what has he been
charged in connection with this matter
that would give him Il reason for rush
ing into public print? No infamy has
been heaped upon his sacred head, and
nobody, 80 far sls we know, has said
anything that could possibly be consid-
cred offensive to Mr.. Evans. Ii he We're
not the brilliant lawyer that he is, we
would be constrained to say that this
was simply another exemplification OF
the fact that "Fools rush in where

an ItemiZed statement of the cost OF
the recent prosecution of two negroes,
John Holland and William Hops,
for the alleged commission of dia-
boilCal crime against this community;
The criminal annals of Cecil county
show no case so absolutely prostituted
to partlzan political purposes as this
one.
From start to finish, the legal side
of the case was farCical, as its purpose
was lnSinCere, while politicians of high
and low degree at the county seat,
piped the tune of dollars for the tau
paying victims of Cecil county to
dance to.
For the time, the entire Democratic
machine" of the Third district was
transformed into an improvised and
lmpotent constabulary, with Machine
Tom, Machine Dick and Machine
Harry playing the role of puppet de-
tectve to hunt down, prosecute and
parade, as the evidence of their eff
cheney " two innocent negroes against
whom there existed not one scintila
of duplicating evidence, and whom not
a single impartial, intelligent citizen
Of the county believed were guilty.
The Wing asserts without the fear
Of successful contradiction, that this
case, made SO cost y to the county for
unworthy personal and partizan ends,
was conceived and conducted more
for political prestige-ii not wholly
so, for its projectors and agents-than
for the detection and conviction of the
real criminal.
What is more, the Wing thinks, a
great majority OF the people of Cecil
county believes the same thing, and
that they may see what that farce
projected, managed and directed by a
coterie of Elkton politicians cost the
county, we request the County Com
missioners to make public an itemized
statement of the expense to the county
for amateur detective bills, padded

forcefully says, all incurred under
Democratic direction or because of
Democratic stupidity, and all Dumped
