FEAR ANOTHER RACE
OUTBREAK AT SEAFORD

sEAFORD, Del, Sept. IA race
war seems imminent here at any time,
owing TO recent numerous brawls and
shootings among the colored people.
The situation has become more serious
since the arrival here Of merry-go-
rounds. Saturday night general fight
occurred among the negroes on Front
street and lives of white citizens were
greatly endangered. Razors and pis-
tolls were flourished. and women We're
compelled TO abandon the streets. One
negro threatened to cut another's heart
out, but officers finally quieted the
gang.
Since the shooting Of Constable
Steen white citizens have become very
much alarmed. These outbreaks are
not generally committed by the Sea-
ford negroes, but by the influx Of
strange negroes from Southern points.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

Fifteen young ladies of the high
school will give a play, "Sunbonnet,'
at the opera house tomorrow (Friday)
evening. The program will also in.
clude musical selections by the high
school male quartette The young
people have been working arduously for
some time past to give a pleasing en-
tertainment, and they should be re-
warded with a crowded house. The
receipts of the evening will go to pur-
chase new books for the school library,
a most worthy cause. and for this rea-
son we believe that the enterprise
should be literally patroniZed by the
people of the city.
The high school authorities are max
ing an earnest effort to build up the
school library and are meeting with
very good success. Mrs. M. K. VIM
sey this week presented the library
with about forty fine books, and Au-
hrey Lawrence recently donated sixty
dollars worth. These gifts are very
much appreciated by Superintendent
Brown.
Every Tuesday morning at the high
high school, in addition to the regular
morning exercises, there will be a
special program consisting OF music
recital or other entertainment given
by talent of the city. This Is a new
feature and is bound to be very pop
ular. Last Tuesdays program was
violin recital by Carl Christensen,
assisted by Miss Cecil Welch, and the
numbers rendered were greatly appre-
ciated. Every Thursday morning de-
votioIai exercises are held.
Mrs. DeMotts and Miss Jorgenson
were absent from their duties last
week while taking teachers examina-
tion, and their places were supplied
by Mrs. Malcolm Aldrich and Mrs. ].
II. Nelson. On Friday Miss Leal was
absent on account of the serious i'll
ness of her uncle, H. l.. Mckee, and
her place was taken by Mrs. r. ].
White.

USE KING DRAG IN FALL

Just what the King drag will do to-
ward making good roads in the fall
can be noticed on the BeetOwn road
to point about three miles southeast
of town. This road was dragged two
weeks ago and those who have driven
over it say it is just like race track.
How much more efficient work of this
kind is than to plOw up and grade the
roads so they will be rough all winter
and sea of mud next spring, The
expense of dragging is but the merest
trifie compared with the cost of the
other work also.-BlOomingtOn, (Wis.)
Record.
We might add that by using the
drag during the winter when there
comes a thaw and the roads are cut
up helps more than any other time.
Put the drag at work in the after
noon just before the ground begins to
freeze and you leave the road smooth
and hard when frozen. Even though
the ground does thaw the next day
the wheels will not cut SO deep and
another application of the drag" will
leave the road better than before.

SOUND LOGIC FAvORS THE FOOD LAW
Leading Food Journal Recognizes
COngreSSman'S Ability

In the October number of the Ameri.
can Food Journal. which by the way
should be read by every citizen of this
nation, we find that the editor request.
ed and has given space to Hon Philo
Halls paper which he read before the
State Bar association at Pierre last
winter. This paper was prepared by
Congressman Hall. at the request of
the association and he had no thought
that 1t would be called for by the lead
ing law publications. which it since
has been, and has been given wide
circulation. Without reading the
paper one would fail to see it's appli-
cation to the pure food question, but
we find in one paragraph the following
quotation from the findings of the Su-
preme court of the United States
which is very applicable to the pure
food law which has been passed by
this state. Mr.. Hall SAYS:
Il will not in this paper undertake
to touch upon the various phases of
the right to exercise the police power
by the federal government or by the
states in regulating rates for transpOr-
tation companies, in the sale OF intoxi
eating liquors, the regulation of GER
tain occupations, the right to prescribe
labels for foods, etc, as it would re-
quire too much space to do so satsfac-
torily, but simply add in this connec-
ton the following language of the
United States Supreme Court In con-
ferring upon congress the regulation
OF commerce. it was not intended to cut
the states off from legislation on all
subjects relating to the health, life and
safety Of their citizens, though the leg
islation might indirectly affect the
commerce of the country. Legislation
In a great variety of ways, may affect
commerce and persons engaged i'm it
without constituting regulation of ii
within the meaning of the constitution.
And it may be said generally.
that the legislation of state, not di-
rected against commerce or any OF it's
regulations, but relating to the rights.
duties and liabilities of citizens, and
only indirectly and remotely affecting
the operations OF commerce, is of obli-
gatory force upon citizens within it's
territorial jurisdiction, whether on land
or water, or engaged in commerce, for
eign or interstate, or in any other pur-
suit.

DEATH OF S. SORENSON

The funeral of Soren Sorenson, of
whose death at WatertOwn we made
mention last week, was held from the
home of his son, Edward SorensOn,
Friday afternoon, and was in charge
of Rev. A. M. Work of Watertown.
Mr.. SorenSon was born in Norway
sixty-fve years ago. He was married
in Norway and soon after came to
this country, settling in Illinois. About
thirty years ago the family came to
this county and took up a homestead
on which they lived for some years,
afterward moving to this city. About
ten years ago Mr.. Sorenson went to
the Pacific Coast, remaining until last
spring when he returned to Water
town, where he met his death. He is
survived by wife and six children
From the Watertown Public Opinion
we get the following account of his
death.
Attempting ~ remove handcar OBJ
structing the track in front of the
west bound Rock Island passenger,
Soren Sorenson a section hand aged
about 65 years was yesterday after
noon struck and instantly killed. The
body was picked up and brought to
Watartown where the unfortunate was
making his home.
The section crew of which he was
a member was working about 3 miles
east of Waterfowl. 1t had been ap-
prised that the passenger was late,
and believed that it was much later

than really proved to be ~ ,ase. the
crew left the hand car 8 the track
while they proceeded W their work.
The car was star ~ on curve
and the engineers ~ is said to have
been obstructed % lhat he had no
notice that he SSeS about to run down
a handcar. n, .er did the crew see
the train coming until it was to close
to prevent the collision.
When Sorenson saw the smoke Of
the train coming around the curve he
is said to have made a dash for the
car, and single handed attempted to
remove it from the track. The other
workmen are said to have decided
that the removal could not be made in
time and skipped to places of safety.
When the train was within a few
feet of him, Sorenson saw that he
could not remove the car in time and
he left, running away. He had got
about ten feet from the track when
the engine crashed into the handcar,
lifting it high in the air and throwing
it so that it came down on top of
Sorenson, crushing him about the mid
die and breaking both legs.
