FROM FREDERICA,

Our town was deeply shocked and
grieyed last Thursday morning, at the
death of Thomas d. Burton, one of our
most prominent and respectable citizens.
He had been great sufferer for several
years from extreme nervousness and f.
nally succumbed to the intense strain
! The funeral services were held Saturday
morning at his late residence. The large
number of people who gathered to pay
their last respects, was not a curios
throng, but friends, who looked with re-
gret on the silent form repOsing in the
handsome casket The Rev. Richards
officiated at the services. Mr.. A. w. Car
row read a prayer, written by the de-

a written request that it be read at his
funeral 1t was lengthy, with beautifully
expressed thoughts, showing throughout
his sublime faith in God, and his hope

Gifted the bridges and highways of
all the counties, and therefore the
policy of Republican administra-
tion should continue, and it be-
hooves all Republicans to see to it
that Republicans are sent to the
Levy Court to continue the poll

dissatisfaction with the methods
employed to nominate the ticket in
Kent county, and many will refuse
to swallow the dose crammed down
their throats but the passions of
resentment should not endanger the
success of party principles. A
county Office has but little weight
and no influence in legislation, and
deserved rebukes will be admins
tered at the polls next Tuesday.

Teachers Salaries.

"Will you tell me, SIR" said Gen.
Stephen d. Lee, directing his remarks to
the Governor in a recent address before
the State College at Columbus, Miss,
why your Legislature at its last meet
ing provided about twice the amount for
the salaries of the men occupying the
chairs of the University as for those of
the women discharging the same kind of
duties| | Governor Nardaman disclaim-
ed the ownership of the Legislation in
question and said he neither favored nor
sanctioned the existing discrimination
against women wage -earners.
Protests of a similar kind are filling
columns of the public prints in other
States. We read that the public school
teachers of the Empire State are about to
move ON Albany for law providing ade.
quate salaries. Then we hear OF discon-
tent among Missouri teachers because of
unjust discrimination: and so it goes
The whole discussion resolves itself
back into the question which teachers
have been debating for so MANY wears.
and which was so aptly answered BY Su-
san b. Anthony on that memorable dav
IN 1858, when for the first time woman's !
voice was heard in a Teachers COnven- |
tlOn. The question was why the profess |
sion of teacher is not as much respected |
as that of lawyer, doctor, or minister,
and when Miss Anthony was finally per-
nitted to speak, after half hours dis
'ussion on the propriety of allowing a
woman to be heard, she said, "It seems
o me you fail to comprehend the cause
II the disrespect of which You complain.
10 you not see that so long as society
ays woman has not brains enough to be
doctor, lawyer or minister, but has
'lenty to be teacher, every man of you
Fho condesceuds to teach tacitly admits
etore all Israel and the sun that he has
% more brains than woman ?''
Yet to this day the matter is solemnlv
onsidered, argued pro and con, talked
bout, written about, and the teachers |
themselves, to say nothing of all the rest {
US, apparently fail utterly to see, in
le political disfranchisement of the ma t
rity of teachers, the cause for underpaid i
Dor and unjust discrimination. In the I
ur States where women vote, teachers I
laries not only average higher than in i
e States where they do not, but the o
" provides equal pay for equal service f
of sex. 4

THE Republican and Democratic
chairmen of the two State Central
Committees have signed agreements
TO use all diligence and influence
possible to prevent any use of
money at the polls next Tuesday,
and in conjunction with this, it is
we'll to remember that the Anti
Bribery League has issued warn
ings as to its purpose in dealing
with any case of this character
which may come to its knowledge
in the next two years. 1t is signed
by the executive officers, and is as
follows
Notice is hereby given that this League
will closely observe every movement of
every person known or supposed to have
in his possession or control any money or
valuable thing, or access to or the direc- |
ton of the disposal of any such money or
valuable thing, for the influencing of |
NOt0iH AZ tlo approaching general eltC- |
ton. Every such person, as well as every
person implicated with him, is likely to
be prosecuted for violating the Anti-Br-
berry Laws of this State. 1t is no longer
safe to participate in any way in the in
fuencing of voters, or the procurement
thereof, or the discussion thereof.
Whatever reports of bribery at this
election shall come to this League within
the next two years will be thoroughly in
vestigated, and, if possible, prosecutions
will follow.
Immediately after this election, this
League will by proclamations offer large
rewards for information leading to
the conviction of guilty persons, and
these proclamations will be particu-
arly addressed to those persons
who have been influenced, and protec- {
ion from prosecution will be guaranteed s

Vote for the Initiative and Re.
ferendum.
SamnIe Ballot.

THE annual gathering of the
teachers of Sussex county will be
held in the first week in December,
and for years it has been held in
Milford, the only town where the
hall and hotel accommodations are
sufficient to accommodate the three
hundred teachers and their friends.
The institute has been of benefit to
Milford in several ways, and we
should be sorry to have it go else
where. 1t elevates the morals and
minds of the people, and brings
trade to the town. The hotels feel
that they cannot afford to make. the
same low rates for the teachers as
heretofore, and now ask an ad-
vanced rate. The matter has two
sides to it, of course, but we hope
that the rate will be so adjusted
that the attendance will not be in
terfered with, and that the coming
institute will be as entertaining and
as largely attended as those of pre-
viOus years.

An authoritative Book On Railway Rate.

1t is not often that the economist has
an opportunity to present a book of such
practical interest and timely importance
as Professor Hugo r. Meyers "Govern-
ment Regulation of Railway Rates,
which is fresh from the press Of the Mac
milan Company. The volume embodies
the results of a twelve years study of
this question by the author, and is
brought thoroughly up-to-date, covering
the facts brought out at the special hear
ing OF the Senate Committee last Nav.
The subject is treated in a completely
practical manner and. in addition to Civ
ing its author high rank an an authority
on this question, is likely to have an in
duence on the decision of Congress as to
the legislation to be enacted on this SUBJ

Our Fall and Winter
Clothing For Men and Boys.

The kind of suits we wanted this
fall have been hard to get, but we now
have them.
Indeed we have already sold quite
a quantity of them. Although we have
hardly had time to display them.
Its a wonderful stock, we don't
think that any other in Milford can
compare with it, "our University Suits
are more cOnspiculously in the lead
than ever.
For instance, in young mems sacks
we have no less than six models or
shapes, each one so different from all
the others as to give you chance to buy
which most becomes you.
In Overcoats we have three different
models, and each shape both of suits
and overcoats isshown in many varieties
and qualities of fabric.
Our line of fancy vests and trousers
are the handsomest and finest ever
shown in Milford.
