contempt of City Court in speaking

Archer, after warned by the court
not to apply such titles to negroes,

Judge Cochran, he ordered the release
of Brooks and also sent bondsman
to the workhouse to secure his re-

to accept the order of the City Court
until he could consult with Judge

Probably unique among the pay
rolls of the country is that of tie
Pennsylvania Railroad, which, ac-
cording to a compilation just COM
pleted, is shown to have 1850 active
employees who have been with the
road 40 years or more. In addition,
1013 men served the company more
than 40 years, but have retired from
active work, and are receiving pen
sions reglarly from the company.
The census of the civil service of
the United States showed, on July l,
1907, that those who had been in the
service of the national government
for more than so years, numbered
40 men and l woman. On the other
hand, the Pennsylvania Railroad re-
cords show that to-day there are upon
the payroll of the company 316 men
who have been in its service more
than so years. Of the employees of
the Pennsylvania Railroad in active
service, lis are 81 years of age; lis
are Ga years old; ia are 81, and los
are SO. 67 of the 95 principal Off
GERS of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company started as beginners, and,
with few exceptions have been with
it ever since. Their average age is
81 years, and the average length Of
service is 26 years.

This has been great potato week
in Delaware, not alone because of the
good yield in many places, but be-
cause of increasing high prices.
Farmers around Delmar and on the
railroad line from Delmar to Wyom-
ing, have had varying results, but
some admit having raised fifty barrels
to the acre. w. w. Locates, John
w, Culver, E. Frank Locates and J.
D. Beach of Harrington have had
practically the same yield. The ex-
cessive dry weather has not worked
the injury to potatoes that was ex-
pected, and many growers have come
to believe that very dry weather is
far preferable to very wet weather,
when raising potatoes, as the rainy
season, last year, caused the potatoes
to rot in the ground. At one station
bidding for potatoes started at 1920
and ran to 81. go per barrel.

the young negro slain by a mob at

which rested at the undertaking es-

taken to Middletown and buried at

Jackson had lived there nearly all
his life, and had many friends among

much stirred up over this murder.
Despite the evidence produced against
him, he is given a good name by the

CANAL SHOULD
BE DRAINED

1t is much to be deplored that there
are such poor prospects Of getting rid
of the canal nuisance this year.
From present indications the old
ditch is going to do its very worst this
summer. The accumulation of foul
and noxious matter in the bottom has
been increasing during the half doz-
en- years or so that have elapsed since
the water has been withdrawn.
Tie bottom was never more Often
sive, even during the hot and sultry
weather Of August, than it is just at
present. especially during night time.
No one can pass the Mill street culyert
under certain conditions of the atmos-
phere without feeling the nauseating
effect of exhalations from the foul and
disease breeding canal.
AS explained in these columns re-
Gently the disposition Of the canal bed
will depend wholly on what is done
with the sewage at the hospital for
the insane. That there are no pro-
spects of bringing the latter down the
canal and connecting with the bor.
ough sewer is tacitly acknowledged by
even the warmest advocates of that
measure. The best that can be hoped
is that the canal, later on may be pip
ed for the purpose of bringing down
the effluent flowing ont from the filter
beds, should that method of sewage
disposal be employed.
All this of course is in the future.
Something should be done forthwith
to relieve conditions, especially on the
square between Mill and Ferry streets
as we'll as on the lower side of the
Mill street culbert. A good ditch open
ed in the middle of the canal would
lead off the water when it rains and
at the same time drain the bottom,
preventing putrefaction and the pois-
onous exhalations that result.
1t is hoped that the authorities will
take the matter up and devise some
means that will bring at least tempor-
ary relief.

TRUANT OFFICER
CAUSES ARREST

As the end of the school term ap-
proaches and the lure of the pleasant
spring weather is felt among the pu-
pills the truant officers troubles begi n
TO multiply.
W. E. Young, attendance officer of
the Danville public schools, yesterday
caused the arrest of one of the patrons
Of the second ward school, whose
daughter failed TO attend the required
rs per cent. of the time belonged. The
officer states that he will be obliged
to proceed in like manner In several
other cases, il the parents do not turn
over new leaf and require their chill
dren to be present in school the re-
Quired percentage of time. Yesterday
was the first arrest for neglecting to
send children to school that has occur.
red in this city for some months.
The truant officer states that those
cases where the pupils are ont of
school with the parents knowledge
and consent give him a great deal
more trouble than the cases of mere
truancy-where the pupil remains ont
OF school without leave.
The officer, therefore, is giving his
attention to the derelict parents at
present.
