THERE is demand for homes in
the town of Milford, such as was
never before known. Especially IS
this the case of houses with the
modern conveniences of electric
light, water and bath rooms. Now
is the time to build moderate sized
houses after new styles in architec-
ture; they rent promptly and well.

WE have been asked to state
through the columns of the Chronicle
why the Town of Milford was
"dry' for period of six months
within the past year. The town OF
Milford during the year of 1906,
found the condition surrounding
the sale of liquor growing more and
more aggrivating the negroes were
lawless, help was demoralized and
Sunday drunkenness was a common
thing. The best class of citizens
organized themselves into a Law
and Order Society" and took steps
to effectually put stop to the an
noyance growing out of the liquor
business, as it was conducted. De
tectives were hired by the prime
movers and evidence secured of Sun
day selling, of illegal bar-rooms
etc, which were presented to the
court, and indictments were made by
the Grand Jury in both Sussex anC
Kent Counties. The proprietor'
entered a plea of guilty, which
forfeited their license and closed the
hotel. The court refused to gram
fractional Incense to any of them
and as a result the business was
closed. Briefly this is the story Of
the first period of dryness in the his
tory of Milford.

ISLATURE.

Special to the Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 20.-H
c. Jackson, alias Henry Jacobon
whom Gov. Patterson pardoned from
the state prison yesterday afternoon
was re-arrested today by detectives
in this city on charge of grand lar
ceny that comes from New York
Jackson was sent up from Memphis
for three years for larceny. His term
would have expired November 18th.
The pardon, It is said, was recon-
mended by a member of the Shelby
county delegation in the state Eegis-
lature and a prominent saloon keeper
in Memphis.
There seems to some mystery as to
why the pardon was granted. Luke
McMenneway, warden Of the peniten-
tiary, says the Board of Prison Com
missioners intended to protest against
the pardon. Jackson's re-arrest was
on an order from the Chief of Police
at Buffalo to Chief Curran of this city.

SOME VALUABLE
BITS OF PROPERTY
FRONT-FOoT PRICE PAID Inv PHIL
ADELPHIA-VALUA6LE SPOT
IN BOSTON.

Recent records of land sales in Phil.
, adelphia show that one piece of prop
erty on Chestnut street has been dis
posed of at the rate Of $20,455 per
front foot. The lot has frontage OF
twenty-five feet-with depth of $50
feet-so that the total price was over
$3.50, 900. Ownership of few feet OF
such land would put man in a posi-
ton to take a comfortable summer
vacation and leave enough to enable
him to hire a man to take care of his
furnace next winter.
According to the Boston Post, an
old candy store on a bit of lot on
the southwest corner of Winter and
Washington streets, in the very heart
of the shopping district, occupies the
most valuable piece of land in Boston.
To the transit commission, who want
the land for a subway station, the
price is quoted at 100000, of which
amount $4,000 is said to be the value
of the building.
The commission is said to be anx-
ious to secure the lot, and 1t hoped
that it can be obtained at some figure
near the assessed valuation, which is
$4,000
The owners, however, insist as the
property nets four per cent. on $780,
900, it is worth that sum- The candy
store owners pay an annual rental of
$4,000.

inequalities cannot exist without ere
ating dissatisfaction.
We boast of our prosperity, but
there is something wrong with our
economics when present conditions
prevail. The Washington Post, COM
menting on its own assertion that
there is a screw loose somewhere.
says: The aggregate wealth is enor-
nous. Our physical energies are stu
pendous. We are the most prolific
producers and the most prodigal con-
sumers on earth Our interests are
agricultural, commercial, mining,
manufacturing-and we excel in all.
Wages are higher with us than in any
other country. Any yet we are not
happy; we are not content, and SIM
ply because the purchasing power OF
the dollar is less than it ought to be.
AS to that all are agreed. Expert
doctors of economics said that the
fault was in the railroad octupus, and
the entire SO,OOO,000 and upward of us
went on a chase of the railroads. We
caught them, regulated them, pun
ished them; but the purchasing power
of a wage is less now than It was
when the chase began. Then we got
after the industrial trusts and went
to litigation with them. They were
convicted and fined, but the cost OF
living is higher than ever, and folks OF
all shades of political opinion are at
a loss to understand it all, or any part
of it."
The Post adds: Just across the
border in Canada living is two-thirds,
or less, what it is with us, and hun
dreds OF thousands of American citi-
zens well-to-do have fed from pros
perity in this country and voluntarily
became subjects of a descendant and
successor Of George III. There Is I,
screw loose somewhere. There is an
octopus UNBIASED"
Something is wrong, but yelling at
real or imaginary trusts and chasing
octupuses will hardly afford a rem
edy. The situation is abnormal

THE VALUE OF THE CHURCH.

There are many people who crit
else the church and those who are
most devout cannot deny that it has
it's faultsg just as it has had through
history. But criticising it, even with
the noblest purpose, it not unlike crit
icising that which is sacred. 1t is
the symbol of heaven. Here our
family members have stood at the
marriage altar, here they have been
baptised, and here we have heard the
last sad rites pronounced above their
caskets.
In insignificant detail, it may be at
fault: there may be among its MEM
bers those who are hypocrits, but we
are the losers if we shut out its glor-
ious influence from our lives. The
heart that has not a church in fact
and fancy, is impoverished indeed.
The man to whom a church spire will
not revive the hottest of life's mem
cries. lacks much of the heaven of
earth.
II is well that man builds the edi-
fee of worship on the plans OF grand
eur. 1t is fitting that it's spires should
rise like inspirations in marble high
above all else of the town. Its
windows should permit the sunshine
to food in through its colored glass as
though it came direct from heaven,
and it's choir should rival the har-
mony of heavenly voices.
Pity the community where the
church is unknown. How many of us
would care to be constantly associated
with people who never enter church
doors. "A ohurchless world would be
a world of darkness.
It is there that we feel that we are
face to face with God. 1t is typical
Of Christ and of heaven and feeling
comes to us there that we do not ex-
oerience elsewhere, We fancy that
he most hardened scorner would miss
he towering spire and the tones OF
he Sunday morning bell and yearn
again for the glories of the church
md hunt less for its slight faults

ERRORS In LEG
ISLATIVE ACTS

The Memphis News Scimitar says
it is not insinuating, but that 1T does
seem remarkable that whenever ty-
biographical or clerical blunder is
found in a contested law, the blunder
always favors the interests which EN-
ployed the money and used the lobby
to defeat the measure in question"
Whenever the constitutionality Of a
law is contested, and an error or
blunder. clerical or Typographical or
other kind, is found in the law, 1t
must necessarily favor the interests
making the contest 1t is difficult to
imagine an error or blunder that
would strengthen the constitutional
ty of a law, since a certain form OF
enactment is prescribed, and any de-
Walton from the rules laid down is
bound to effect the constitutionality
of the act, If it affects 1t at all.
But the remarkable fact is that
these plumbers almost always occur in
acts in which interest has been most
general and intense, and which have
been most warmly contested in the
legislature. This is the mystery that
arouses more or less suspicion, and
calls for investigation and solution.
