;gregation-here, but will be accepted,
as Mr. Mcdaniel believes he has a
greater and wider field In Charles
ton and the denomination desires
him to take charge OF that work,
as his services to the state work OF
the church are valued highly and
greatly appreciated as the follow
ing from letter written him few
days ago by the Rev. NJ. A. Sum-
mers. of Parkersburg, general Bap-
list missionary OF this State Shows:
vs. There Is fne opportunity in
this church. The most inviting
thing Is the room for mission work

/ some of 1t especially belongs to the
Virginia Avenue church. 1 am sure
you can and If you go there. will soon
Ahave two or three good missions in
connection with your church, and
that means a city missionary. Then,
again hope you will go there, be-
cause l want you to stay in West

useful to the Lords work"
. AS pastor and pulpit speaker the

good in denominational and civic
work. as well as in all the lines of
high and noble living, and his de-

Bills for Experts at the Marvin Inquest.

The mysterious disappearance of little
Horace Marvin, which cost the State
heavely and, later cost the comfy of Kent
in the final investigation, came up before
the Levy Court last Tuesday when claim
was put in for all the jurors who served
on the investigation for extra pay, and
for the experts, stenographers and others
who appeared in the inquest.
The largest individual bill was that of
the stenographer, whose claim was $Sl. 80,
although it was explained that the stem
ographer had to transcribe all of the pro-
ceedings of the three long days of trial.
The surgeons were moderate with $50
bills, while the shoe expert only charged
S25, for reaching the conclusion that the
boys shoes had not been in the water
more than few days Of the eight weeks
he was missing.
The o nmissioIers / ed up the bills and
summoned Deputy Attorney-General Sat
terfeld, who explained the various sums
and the work done by each claimant.
There was some discussion and sugges-
tions of cutting the bills, but, owing to
the severe aspect of the case at the time
at the time the attorney-gener and dep
uties summoned the extra jury and wit
nesses, it would be the best policy for the
Of the law and upholding the
generals department to pay the
claim in full, which was so ordered and
the checks were drawn. Detective Frank |
J.bLore Of New Jersey, was one of the
,laiments paid in full.

Shooting ARRAY at Lewes.

Negroes had a shooting affair on the
grounds where Van Amburg Shows
were exhibiting in Lewes last Friday.
Isaiah White, a notorious Georgetown
negro, fired three shots at Isaiah Hol-
land, Lewes negro, and also tough
customer. All three shots struck Hol-
land and while his assailant was less
than five PAGES distant, it is said the
bullets did nothing more than raise a
little eruption Of the skin at the three
points Of contact. White was arrested
and held in 500 bail for court. Holland
had been molesting the other negro all
day, threatening him with bodily harm
and exhibiting a long butcher knife
with which he purposed to carry out
The threats. Holland was drunk and
he sympathy was for the fellow who
lid the shooting.

If we are to judge by the thous-
ands Of people who are being daily
swindled by the numerous get rich
schemes that infest the country, the
American people are becoming par
ticularly easy. Almost every large
city seems to be a fruitful field for
the swindler's operations, and the
poor dupes almost tumble over each
other in their effort to get something
for nothing or fabulous returns for
a small outlay, which anyone of
average intelligence ought to know
was a swindle without being APP
prised Of the fact. Aside from this
the press of the country is contin-
ually warning the people of the
dangerous character of those swind-
ling operations and publishing re-
ports of the thousands who have
learned by dear experience of the
fraudulent nature of so many con-
Germs in which they have intrusted
their all, We would say it serves
them right were it not for the fact
that the victims in many cases are
poor people who can i'll afford to
lose their daily earnings in this
manner.

THERE appears to be prevalent
among the people an impression
that a member of the town govern
ment is compelled to do all kinds
of work for the individuals of the
community. Last Sunday morning
a citizen called a member of Town
Council out of bed over the tele-
phone, to inform him that dead
hog was floating in the basin of the
Red Mills, in the town limits, and
that he wanted it removed at once,
as it was offensive to him. The
duty of that citizen was to report
the offence, and the Individual who
made it, if it was known to him
also, to have the work done and
send the bill to the Board of Health,
which has full control Of all such
cases. The members of flown Coun-
ell are not supposed to act as scav-
engers for the people.

DEMOCRATIC GLASSES GIVE ADVICE.
The friends of Senator Richardson
are much surprised at the manner
in which he seems to have aban-
doned the reins of his power to the
hands of his secretary, Col. William
D. Denney. Those who have sought
the ear of the genial Senator in
matters of appointment in which he
of course has considerable influence,
assert that the Senator quitely and
with his inimitable smile refers them
to his secretary, Col. William.
Now, however great a man Col.
William may be, these friends of
the Senator think that it is hardly
fair to them to be referred to the
aforesaid Col. William upon matters
that are properly cognizable before
the Senator himself. OF course
"Glasses" )" is not of Senator Rich
ardsons S party and therefore it is
none Of "Glasses business whether
the Senator chooses to refer his
constituents to Col. William or to
any other gentleman. But "Glas-
ses, " having the honor of a slight
with the Senator and
and having a susceptibility to his
and pleasing manners, is
sorry to see the Senator lose some
of his friends by this unwise and |
treatment Of their requests. |
No man can very well be Senator
by proxy, and Mr.. Richardson will
do we'll to bear that fact in miAd.-

THE word tax" is a bugaboc
for the politician to contour with.
If it is desired to create a sentiment
against the ruling party, then it is
that the minority calls with loud
voice that taxes have been increased
and that the people are over loaded
with a great burden and, the
thoughtless are lead astray by what
appears to appeal to their pocket
books. But too often blunders are
made by needing this clamor of
the politician, who is only anxious
to get his fingers in the pie for per
sonal benefit. It is a fact, that the
people do not care much about any
reasonable increase of taxes, if they
are given something to show for
the money spent. We hear not
one word about the cost of the new
High School Building in Milford, or
of the cost of paving the streets, or
Of the cost Of the sewer system the
people appreciate the fact that they
have the worth of their money, in
increased values of real estate and
the comforts of a well kept town,
with the additional safeguards to
the public health. The people of
the county will make no objection
to building good roads, if good
roads are built, and no blunder is
again made such as the tub mill
road" failure was, is again put off
on them. What the people want,
is some one, somebody, or some
system, which will give them per
manent good roads, which will add |
to their property value, that will en-
able them to haul two tons on one
pan VI nOl1G1 On any AOdQ ONEl /
which they may travel, and they
will not hesitate to pay any tax
assessed against them, ifthey know
they are going to get results of this
kind. What they want, is a sys-
tenn they have confidence in, and
competent engineers to do the work,
with good, honest business men in
heir levy courts to administer the
affairs. It is just as we'll t
o expect farmer to build good /
Dads, as to expect an engineer to il
row thrifty crops either would be, y
nd are failures when taken from 4
