THE ROAD LAW

In spite Of the opposition oil all
the papers Of this county, and
that of many taxpayers who had
written to members of the House
of Representatives expressing
their views on the subject, that
body has concurred in the Senate
Bill to bond the county to build
good roads. 1t is true that in
the House the bill was amended
by reducing the amonnt of bonds
to be issued to 100000 instead
of $500,0o0. This was some con-
cession, but it is limited that the
reason for the reduction was the
fear that Governor Lea would
veto the larger amount.
We have already expressed
our opinion on the proposed Law,
and lave nothing to add to what
we said last week. 1t is an i'm
position on the taxpayers of the
county to saddle this debt on
them, and to get nothing in re-
turn but a lot of improved roads
in patches that will not give gen.,
eral satisfaction.

i NEW DISCOVERY

After years of experimenting
and research for a cure for
dyspepsia and stomach
trouble, a prescription, now
being used by eminent spec
ialist, said to give immed-
late relief.
The chemistry Of digestion aud fife is

Of them is the most and which lie the least
eficacious. Alkalies may dissolve lithic
deposits, but who, unless be be an exper-
fenced physician, can detect the fault of
nutrition which leads to their formation,
or rightly interpret the symptoms indicat-
ing il? These simple illustrations of the
complications which attend dyspepsia are
mentioned merely to show that they must
be anticipated and taken into account in
the treatment.
The following prescription:

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP

This week saw a change of the
ownership of The BUening Journal,
the new company being com.
posed of practical business and
newspaper men. Without any
disparagement of the last owner,
the change will undoubtedly be
better for the paper. The run
ming Of a daily newspaper is d
business in itself, and does NOT
permit of the joining Of other
issues. Messrs. Cummins and
Hallam have made a life business
of the editorial and reporting
end of a newspaper, and both
have well deserved reputation
for good work. Messrs. Baird
and Jones, are we'll known BUSH
ness men and their success inl
their vocations speaks well for
the business management. With
such a team, the Journal should
become one Of the best Of the
Wilmington dailies. They have
our best wishes for prosperity
and long life.

LOCAL OPTION

The General Assembly has
ppassed the bill providing for a
vote by the people of the whole
state on the question of license
or no license the election to be
held on the first Tuesday in
November of this year. In doing
this, the plank of the Republican
platform has been carried into
effect. Three Republican mem
bers of the Senate refused to
abide by the action of the party
in convention assembled, and
three Democrats voted with the
majority to pass the law. Thus
it becomes non-partisan meas
ure, and at the election all par
ties, or rather members of all
parties, except the Prohibi-
tionists will be found on both
sides of the question. This meas
ure is a truly American one, as
it allows a majority to rule. If a
majority of the people of this
county want license, they should
have it, and the contrary is true.

DEMAND FOR wATERxELoNs


KENroN, FEB 25th.-There is to be q
revival of the watermelon industry this
year. Members Of the Ridgely, Nd,
Fruit Growers Association held an i'm,
portant meeting at Andrew and Temple
Hall Monday afternoon and began q
systematic effort TO secure enough water
melon acreage to enable the association
to ship a carload, daily, from Ridgely
during the season, Freight rates and
shipping irregularities bad heretofore
discouraged this profitable culture. From
60 to IS acres were guaranteed. J. H.
Carroll, melon culture specialist, stated
that 800 bills can be managed in one acre.
Each bill will average on snitable soil,
two good melons, and at tep cents each
this would bring the shipper $3.50 per
acre. 1t is, however, the heaviest fruit
or product grown and unless the special
arrangements can be made the
profits 20 up in tariffs and demurrhage

NOPE ABOUT NpIcFs

The EUerg -EUenipg is again
complaining about the index bills
that have been presented to the
Legislature. This time, it is
Kent and Sussex County officials
that come in for a seolding, to
apply a mild term to the kind Of
stuff Eueqy EUening is giving to
its readers. 1t is of course, 4lse-
less to try and explain anything
to that organ. A man in Sussex
County, in whom it expressed a
great deal of confidence, &ck at
tempted to make it understand,
but it simply would not. Il is
too much for its understanding
to see how books and records
wear out or in the course of years
become out of date. Forl in
stance, the law makes Judgments
a lien for ten years, and then un-
less renewed they lose priotity.
Unless the Prothonotary should
reWrite, and the lawyers com
pare the work, without pay, the
indicss are in a large manner
worthless as records. It would
probably be better if the Legis-
lature should make the New Cas-
tie County law apply to- the
State. It requires the officer to
make an index whenever the
Court shall order it. The COM
pensation is determined by the
Levy Court.
