NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Ncarly half
million shares Of stocks were sold

was convincing evidence Of the growth
Of speculative interest. The accumll-

conspicuous example, although that

her not only the fastest armored

THE results from the drainage
canal which was cut across the salt
marshes of Slaughter Neck last
winter, have been so satisfactory,
that the land owners of Prime Hook
Neck are anxious to have that ca
nal, or another, to drain in the
Broadkiln river cut to carry off the
surface water from the broad stretch
of rich farm lands of that district.
The same necessity is realized for
the lands of Milford Neck, which
are close to the bay shore, and If
the necessary effort were made by
some energetic individual, both en-
terprises would go through without
half the opposition that the Slaugh-
ter Neck enterprise encountered
which was carried through to sue
cess by the efforts of VIM. 1. Simp- |
son and few others; but to the
gentleman named is due the per-
sistent work that finally brought
results which are now admitted by
the most strenuous opponents,to be
of the greatest benefit to the lands
of Slaughter Neck. The two addi-
tional canals referred to, would
cause thousands of acres of rich
land to become of double the value
it now is for farming purposes.

THE political pot in Wilmington
has been boiling lively this week,
and the situation is causing great
uneasiness among Democrats as
we'll as in the Republican camps.
All the trouble grew out of the ac-
tions of Councilman Postles, the
colored member of City Council.
Postles vote was necessary to or
ganize or elect the city officials for
the various departments and for
City Council, and he demanded that
three of the seven places be given
to him. This the other six men,
be s would not consent to under
any conditions, and Councilman
PostIes listened to the proposals of
the Democrats, who finally voted
with him, and chose the men of his
choice for all FIVE of the places
filed, leaving two Democrats hold
ing over as clerks of Council As
might have been expected, this has
created a furore in the Democratic
camp, and the friends Of the Demo-
Gratis turned out by their own Peo-
pie and a negro councilman, are
swearing vengeance while the six
Regular Republicans are kicking
themselves and damning the negro
councilman, who happened TO be-

THERE will be complaint about
the increase in school taxes in Mil
ford, but that is to be expected /;
and yet the people must keep sev.
eral points in mind in connection
with the public schools. We now
have free school books, a saving Of
several dollars each year to parents.
We have the advantage of cur
riculum which will prepare your
child to enter some of the colleges,
and qualify them to teach in some
of the schools. We have the ad-
vantage of an academic course for
our children, and at the same time
keep them in our families without
the expense of boarding them away
from home for them to secure these
educational advantages. Any two
of the largest taxes paid in Milford,
would not pay for the cost of main
tanning even one child at a college.
The people of Milford can felicitate
themselves that they are getting
something for the school taxes they
are paying, and it is not all going
for expense of maintaining; as the
taxes being paid now are liquidat-
ing the cost OF construction of the
new buildings. Our school taxes
bring us large returns, and even
the old bachelors and old maids
should not cry out against them.

banks Of a little stream which flows
nearly through the center of Benning-

sat down on the bank of the brook.
