MANY FIND ONE
AUTO NOT ENOUGH
Several WiImingtOnians Have
Three and Others Two
Cars
HORSEMEN TAKE TO
BENZiNE BUGGIES

Is the advent Of the automobile tc
drop Wilmington several pegs as one
of the leading horse racing and horse
loving cities of the country? Nay
nay. But the automobile habit" has
seized well-to-do Wilmingtonians
many Of whom have heretofore been
prominent in horse circles. Were the
horse knowing creature, it is certain
that he would fear now more than ever
the possibility Of his soon being among
Wilmington's unemployed"
Never before was the automobile so
popular in this city. Runabouts, carry
alls, touring cars. red and blue devils"
and all species of the gasoline devour-
ing creation have SKINNED along VIII
mngton thoroughfares.
Most enthusiastic among Whining
toms motorists is Alfred /. dupont.
Until recently he was the possessor of
five machines, and at this time he owns
three. Not less enraptured with the
motor car are Irenee, Eugene and Err
nest dupont, each Of whom owns three
cars, while among those who find that
two cars are sufficient to satisfy their
motor enthusiasm are Albert Roths-
child, w. G. Mendinhall Edgar M.
Hopes. T.. Allen Hilles and w. L.
Dockstader.
One Of the latest converts to the
habit" is Dr. II. p. Ewes. a veterinar-
ian, whose attention is now drawn to
the use Of the monkey wrench, the
lnhater and the other automobile sur
gical" appliances. And not to be for
gotten among the hundreds Of former
horse enthusiasts who have turned to
the motor car is General T. Coleman
dupont.
When George r. Carmichael goes
buzzing up Delaware avenue or out
along the Boulevard he carries always
the Inflated and unshakable mo. 49,"
which he has had since the tags were
brought into use.
Eight. years ago the first automobile
arrived in this city. To-day there are
about 200, necessitating employment
OF an automobile policeman and direct
ing attention more forcibly than any
other agency to the need of good roads
throughout the State. Still. motor en-
thusiasm here is far from being damp
ened by poor roads, as was evidenced
by the recent "roadability run" of the
Delaware Automobile Association,
when more than thirty motorists test
ed their cars over some Of the worst
roads in Delaware and PENNSYLVANIA.

Clarence Ousley Scored.

Take the man upon whom they
must rely in Northern Texas. Clar-
ence Ousley, of Fort Worth, the edi-
tor of a paper largely owned by Joe
Bailey. They tell you that Ousley is
editing and publishing the only dem
ocratic paper in this section of the
country. They boast and it seems to
be a criterion for veracity and truth
that they and theirs have never
scratched a Democratic ticket.
In other words, that they have
always been the servants of machine
politics, have loved the party, no
matter how foolish or disreputable
it's practices, better than they have
loved their country, their country s
good or their country's honor. This
man Ousley in 1894 was the editor
Of the Galveston Tribune, and this
paper supported A. J. Rosenthal, a
republican nominee for congress,
against Miles Crowley, the democrat
ic nominee. In 1896 this same Gus
ley, who is now the embodiment of
political purity and example of dem
ocratic conduct, supported Hawley
the republican, against James Shell
burne, the democrat. He also sup
ported Mckinley for president
against Bryan, the democratic nomi-
nee In 1898 this same Ousley again
supported Hawley for congress
against Judge w. S. Robertson, a
democrat Col. w. l.. Crawford at
sulphur Springs.

WHEAT FAMINE PREDICTED.

An intensely interesting article in
the Technical World Magazine for
May starts out with the query: How
soon will the world starve to death &?
Last year Sir William Crookes pre-
dicted that unless something is done
to increase the yield of wheat per
acre, there will soon be world-fam-
inc. He pointed the finger of scientif-
ic prophecy at the fact that the av-
erage yield per acre, the world over,
is only 12.7 bushels, so writes Prof
F. Knorr of Colorado Agricultural
college in the Technical World Mag
azine. Prof. Crookes was denounced
as a pessimistic alarmist But with
in year of his statement the alarm
ing condition he predicted has been

reached. "The world has a wheat de-
felt of 40O,0O0,0 600 bushels" says a
leading statistical authority. The
United States has a surplus available
for export of 493, 900, 900 bushels,
against a minimum requirement of
over 500, 1000, 900. We can supply
the demand only by selling from our
emergency supply" The population
of the United States increases much
more rapidly in proportion than the
acreage added to farming lands used
for the growing of the great primary
crops Since 1898 the area devoted
to wheat growing has been increased
by only few thousand acres; corn
acreage has increased a little more,
but, comparatively speaking. only a
trifle; oats are on par with wheat.
Along with the vastly enlarged do
nestle consumption goes a constantly
increasing demand for export. -Dal-

AS TO THE PRIMARIES.

George A. Garden, chairman of
the state democratic executive COM
mittee, has issued the following ad-
dress to the democratic voters of
Texas and requests that the press of
the state give it general publicity:
To the Democrats of Texas In
view of the many inquiries which
have reached me, indicating that
there is some misunderstanding as
to the precise purposes of the pri
mary election and precinct conven-
lions to be held May q ! desire to
state that the primary election will
be held May for the sole and only
purpose of electing delegates at
large and alternates at large to the
national convention. In each voting
precinct in each county in the state
primary election is expected to be
! held, and each precinct will make a
return of the vote to the county
chairman of the county in which it
| is situated. The county chairman
will make returns to the state exec
utive committee, showing the vote
| for each candidate at large and al
! ternate at large, and the four dele
gates at large and four alternates at
/ large receiving the greatest number
of votes in the entire state will be
declared elected. If any county, or
any precinct in any county, fails to
/ hold a primary election in accord
ance with the rules prescribed, it
will lose it's voice in determining
who shall be delegates at large and
alternates at large to the national
convention.
/; In addition to the delegates at
| large and alternates at large there
| will also be elected to the national
convention sixteen district delegates
and sixteen district alternates. Each
precinct in each county in the state
will hold, May 2, a precinct conven-
gates to a county convention. The
county convention will meet May 5
and elect delegates to the state con-
vention to be held at Fort Worth
May 90. At this state convention
| these district delegates and alter
mates to the national convention will
be elected All democrats are earn
estly urged to go to the polls May 2
and vote in the primary election and
to present themselves at the proper
| place and time for participation in
| the precinct convention to the end
that we have a full, fair and free
expression of the will of the demo-
Gratis of Texas in the determination
of the contest now before u.s. | have
sent out large number of books of
rules explanatory of the manner of
holding the primary election and
conventions, and will be glad, if any
county chairman or secretary in the
state has failed to receive copies of
these books to send the book to
them.
