COUNTIES
MAKE NO BRANDY
Famous Delaware "PeaCh
and Honey" Days Ended
By "Dry" Regime

With tho advent OF the peach crop
season comes the narrowing wall from
certain sources that Delaware peach
brandy is TO be nomore And the day OF
Sussex county applejack is gone, too.
1t is all because OF Kent and Sus-
sex counties going dry" And you
know they made the famous Delaware
peach brandy and applejack in those
counties. They are the garden spots
that produce the Delaware peach, than
which there is none more luscious, and
the apples from which the destructive
Delaware applejack is derived.
Distilleries thrived in Kent and Sus-
sex, no matter whether the peach and
apple crops were abundant or other
wise, for many years. Now there is
not a distillery In Kent or Sussex,
hence no Delaware peach and honey"
or Delaware applejack-except that
made before November last, and IT is
diminishing at a famine rate.
Somebody may conceive the idea Of
shipping the Delaware peach to an
other state and having IL transformed
into brandy but not in Kent or Sus-
sex this year.

proved himself a second Jim Bludso"
last night
From the pilot house of the tIg
Hagen, Captain Hemphill guided the
burning boat to the Bridesburg wharf
and beached her in the mud. It was
no fault of the captain that the tus
was burned to the waters edge. Wi.a
tongues of flame licking the vessel, lie
never thought of the risk he took in
his effort to save the Hagen
The tug, which was owned by Hagen
& Co, 21S Walnut street, was going
up the Delaware to get a tow of coal
harges above Bridesburg Besides the
captain, the crew comprised the stew

When the Hagen was opposite the
Bridesburg wharf, wei in the channel,
about 10 o'clock, one Of the crew not
iced smoke coming from the hold
She's Attire, captaini" the man
shouted. The flames spread with such
rapidity that the crew knew IL would
be difficult to take her ashore and save
themselves. They fought the fire until
Captain Hemphin shouted. mo use
men; jump overheard and save your
selves!"
Then for the first time the crew dis
obeyed orders The engineer put on
full steam and the fremen stocked the
furnaces and sent dense volumes OF
smoke out of the stack.
BY this time the glare Of the fire iiiu-
minated the sky. Scores Of people
thronged both banks Of the river.
With the flames rapidly consuming
the woodwork Of the tug. Captain
Hemphill emulated the feat Of Jim
Il Bludso and sent the Hagen toward the
wharf at Bridesburg The heat IN
the pilot house was terrific His hands
were blistered. his hair was singed
yet he never let go of the wheel. hui
kept the course right for the shore. The
crew managed to save themselves from
injury and the Hagen soon beachcd
her nose in the mud. Then all hands
jumped.
