Want Pure Food Legislation.

Want Pure Food Legislation.
The committee on adulterated foods,
seeds and other products OF the state
agricultural department, which is
composed of S. B. Curtiss and H. r.
Wright, has just prepared its report
recommending certain legislation by
the general assembly.
From the results of investigations
the committee is certain that various
commercial feeding stuffs sold in our
markets are generally adulterated,
sometimes very grossly adulterated;
that agricultural seeds sold for seed.
| ing purposes in this state are found
to contain to an alarming degree the
| seeds of noxioIs plants, such as Cana.
da thistle and quack grass; and that
| numerous continental stock foods for
| which extraordinary claims are made
| are sold at price out of all proper.
| ton to the cost of their ingredients,
or to their nutritive or medical value.
The committee has, therefore, prepar-
ed bill for an act designed to regu.
late the sale of these articles.
Following the laws of other states.
the bill proposes tag tax upon feed
ing stuffs and stock foods, and label
specifying the ingredients in mixed
feeds and continental stock foods,
and statement of the percentage of
crude protein, crude fat and crude
fiber, SO that the purchaser may know
the relative feeding value of the feed
ing stuffs he purchases, and the in
!, gradients in the continental stock
foods for whics he pays high price.
| The bill seeks to prohibit the sale OF
seeds for seeding purposes If certain
noxious weed seeds are present, and
requires labling of seeds when harm
less weed seeds are present as an
adulterant.

Soldiers, Preference Law.

Soldiers Preference Law.
The supreme court, IN the Mcbride
case from Buchanan county, held that
soldiers who seek preference in APP
pointment under the soldiers prefer
ence law must show that they are
equally qualified for the place they
seek with the civilian with whom they
compete in order to acquire any rights
under the statute. The law Is con-
strued by the court as follows:
Before making the appointment the
board or officer who is required to Sc
lect is bound to make an investigation
as to the applicants qualifications. If
these are not equal to those of the
other persons under consideration he
is not of the class of persons previous
~ defined and in whose favor the pre-
terence was voted. II of equal quail
tication, however, he would not neces-
sarily be entitled to the position or
office for all might prove to be dis
qualified, and therefore to render his
employment obligatory and enforcible
by proceedings in mandamus it is fur
ther exacted that he must be of good
moral character and able to perform
the duties Of the position he occupies.
In other words, to get the advan-
tage of the soldiers preference law
the veterans must not only be equally
capable with the civilian but must
have good moral character and be
able to discharge the duties of the

Five Young Ladies on a Moonlight Ride

A gay lark in ''tOmato rack" nearly
cost the lives of some of Delaware's
prettiest and most vivacious girls dur
ing a moonlight ride from Rising Sun
to their homes. The young women
Misses Hessie Riley, Florence Remen-

in carriages when George Lille, Jr., a
well-known young farmer of the neigh

topheavy riggings built f or carrying
large numbers of baskets of tomatoes
are termed. Lille dared the girls to
mount the high rack and take the ride
home. Nothing daunted the girls
climbed in and Lille gave whip to his
colts. Away they sped, the girls shout
ing and laughing st their plight, but
occasionally losing their balance.
Thinking that in approaching a turn
in the road, they might lend ballast
to the offside by concentrating theil
weight there, they shifted ballast
at once to that side and their quarter

Three tramps, who were lettering
around the railroad station, at Seaford
Wednesday, attempted an assault upon

The two sisters had been doing some
shopping and were returning tip their

they were accosted by the three men.
Their cries attracted the attention Of
their father and sci ziug his Winchester

time to see his daughters struggling
to get away from the brutes. The
tramps, realizing that their attempt
had been foiled, released their hold
upon the girls and started to run. The
father gave chase. firing as he ran.
The reports of the gun attracted the
attention of large crowd who joined
the father. The tramps made dash
up Railroad Avenue, but were soon
rounded up along the embankment
where they were stoned, beaten and
thrown on to the tracks below. Not
being satisfied, the enraged men drag
ged the desperadoes back to the scene
of attact, where cries of "lynch them"
was heard from every side. The
tramps begged for mercy, but it was
evident that there would be none
spared as the mob had become through

Police Martin with his deputies
arrived. Foreseeing that the tramps
would be roughly dealt with they
pushed their way through the angry
mob and finally succeeding in reach

Pogue Mine to the Front.

After laying idle for many months
and 1t being the opinion of many
that it would never be worked again,
this mine is now just in its infancy.
The Marion Mineral Co. have been
lucky in securing the services of our
old friend, K. b. Clement, to man
age this mine. Through his untir-
ing efforts and plans devised by
himself he has succeeded in driving
a drift through broken ground and
slush to the vein where thousands of
tons Of ore are in sight and is now
being taken out as fast as it can be
handled by two shifts of men working
day and night.
Mr.. Clement has for long time
been counted one of the best mining
engineers in this district, and his
excellent judgment coupled with his
knowledge of formation and location
he is second to none. Hurrah for

The fiscal court has fixed the price of

have in the past used too many
teams and have not had teams worked

expected this year to use teams only
when actually needed, and to see that
the county receives eight hours of
good work every day that team is
reported.

not be too careful IN seeing that the
county Is not imposed upon.
want to urge you to push the work this
year and do it now.
The fiscal court has planed to use
road grader on such parts of roads in
different sections of county as they
can be advantageously used, but
wherever graders are used the hands
will be required to work at least six
days, working such places as grader
will not work.
Mr.. W. \. Woodall will have the
management of the graders, and |
trust the overseers on roads when
graders are used will heartily coop
crate with him in the work. 1t is
impossible for all of the roads to be
graded in one year, but the work
will distributed so as to give all Sec
tons, where graders can be used, a
share of the work.
