FLEMINGS LANDING BILL
ADJUSTED BY LEVY COURT
BRIDGE REPAIR CLAIM SETTLED
BY PAYMENT OF S4,3I3.2I
Court Holds Busy Session and Ad-
Journs to Meet Next Tuesday
When Election Bills Will Be Paid

At meeting of the Kent County
Levy Court in Dover yesterday the
sum of 81, 313.21 was formally al
lowed New Castle County for repairs
on Fleming's Bridge, over the divid-
ing creek between the two counties.
A check for So, 200 of this sum wa
drawn for immediate payment. The
payment of this sum settles a long
dispute which has been waged be-
tween the two Levy Courts for seve-
raj years. The Iron Bridge connects
the two counties at Fleming's Land
ing and is an important thoroughfare.
Several years ago it was put in good
repair by special committee of the
New Castle Levy Court at an enor-
nous cost. Kent County disputed the
claim on the ground that they should
have been consulted over the amount
to be expended and the claim has
been held up for consideration. A. S.
Moor, William NJ. Hazel, Joseph
Mcdaniel, John B. Wharton and Will
liam G. Postles, commissioners to
lay out new road to Little Creek.
reported to the court, recommending
that Sl75 be allowed the owners of
the property and $50 for laying out
the road. Sheriff Hartnett was paid
the balance of his June, July, Au-
gust. September bills 1924. "a; the
sum of $500 having previously been
paid. County Treasurer Buckson
repoted a balance on hand of $40, :
417.79 and 81, $780, 81 receipts. The
Levy Court laid out all the election
bills, for the reason that the ex-
penses of all nineteen districts were
not in hand, until special meeting
next Tuesday. During the day the
commissioners went over to the Opera
House, which is ownei bv the
county, and considered an offer for
some scenery made by Father Waldron
for his children's dramatic societies
of Holy Cross Chuch. To every
question that came up, the commits
siOners would reply: "Ask Mr.. Mag
nolia Sapp, he's the boss here for the
next four years. - Mr.. Sapp courte-
ously relied that things had been very
satisfactory to him under President
Wharton and the present Levy Court.

STATE AID FOR TROLLEY.

Bill May De Offered in the House Pro-
Viding for Line Down the State.
There are indications that a bill
will be taken up by the House of
Representatives looking to State aid
for the proposed trolley project, or
some other rapid transit movement,
which will start in Wilmington, and
terminate in Delmar, touching with
branches all the steamboat landings
possible to reach. The line now pro
posed will pass through New Castle,
Middletown, Townsend, Smyrna,
Dover, Harrington, Milford and
Georgetown, where one branch will
extend to Seblyville and another to
Delmar, by way of Laurel, thus Civ
ing a large part of Sussex county now
devoid of railroad facilities, and full
OF small fruit farms, opportunity to
reach the markets. State Gaid, it is
said, can be provided on moderate
scale. The road will be costly, as
heavy stone ballast for large freights
and strong iron bridges, will have
to be provided. State aid, however,
was provided for the junction and
Breakwater, on the lower Delaware
branch of the Pennsylvania, and this
investment has paid the State regu-
lar interest ever since.

sPECULATING ABOUT JUDGES
The Judges to Be Named BY the In
coming Governor Will Serve For
the Ensuing Twelve Years.

There is some speculation as to
whether Governor-8lect Pennewill
will appoint the new judiciary for the
State, for their twelve year term
during or after the winter session of
the Legislature, that they may be
confirmed by the Senate. The ap-
polntees, whoever they may be, will
have to run the gauntlet of scrutiny
and confirmation by the State Senate.
AS there are one or two anti-organi-
cations Republicans in the Senate the
confirmation of the new Governors s
judges may be ike the course of true
love and fail to "run smooth . In
fact there is more than a possibility
that Lieutenant Governor-elect Men
dinhall will have to cast the deciding
vote, and as he is a member of the
former regular" party, and opposed
to vote-buying, there is talk that he
will insist on judges who will be
firmly opposed to corrupt practices.
Around the State House it is argued
by post-election visitors and politi-
clans, that the Governor-elect will
appoint his judiciary before the first
of March, and whoever are appointed
among the younger men of the Della
ware bar, will need time to settle up
all their private practice before June
l, whe1 they become judges. 1t will
also, it is claimed, be necessary for
them to know just what the State
Senate proposes to do with them
before they give up, entirely,
private practice and go on the bench
from June, 1909, to January, 1911,
when the next State Senate meets.
This State Senate will adjourn
shortly after March 4. Judge James
Pennewill's friends and neighbors
are asserting that he would not ac-
cept the appointment of chief justice
at the hands of his brother, the
GOvernor-elect, no more than he
would the Federal Senatorship, which
he recently declined, but would take
Judge Grubb's place as senior asso-
ciate.

THREE GENERATIONS FIGHTERS
Peter L. Barcus of Cheswold. Points
to a Proud Family Record which
Figured in Three Wars.

Figured in Three Wars.
Cheswold, Nov. 1O.-Peter L. Bar
Gus, Sr., is rather proud of the fact
that at the election last Tuesday he
cast the 18th ballot for president of
these United Sta tes. His first bal
lot was cast for Winfield Scott in the
year 1852 which election was the
death Of the old Wing party. Frank
lin Pierce and William r. King being
then elected Mr. Barcus. who be-
longs to family of patriots. is an
old veteran of theCivil War, serving
with the Third Maryland Infantry.
His father served in the war Of 1912
and his son, John Z. Barcus. served
in the Spanish and American War
under General Joe Wheeler when the
Spanish surrendered. He therefore
has reason to be proud of his family
record as protectors of this great
country and defenders Of the flag.
Mr.. Barcus' second ballot was cast
for John c. Fremont in 1856. Della
ware being then a slave State or
classed among the Southern States. A
Fremont mans life was not safe if
ne talked politics Then abolitionists
were more feared than rank ar
archist would be today Like fire in
a dry stable did the mention of
abOlitiOnism fire mems brains. At
this time Mr.. Barcus' interets were
with a Quaker settlement below
Camden who voted their principles
very quietly. AS a matter of inter
est, having just passed an election,
we might add that in 1856 James
Buchanan, John C. Fremont and Mil
lard Fillmore were the presidential
candidates in the field who received
a, DAB, 971 votes as compared to the
Is, 600, 600 probably cast last Tuesday

STATES ATTORNEY-ELECT
ANNOUNCES HIS DEPUTIES
WATSON HARRINGTON DEPUTY
ATTORNEY FOR KENT COUNTY
Josiah o. WoIcott of Wilmington for
New Castle and Charles w. Wiley
of Georgetown for Sussex.

Josiah o. Wolcott, of Wilmington,
has been selected by Attorney-Gene-
ral-elect Andrew C. Gray, as his dep
uty attorney general for New Castle
County and w. Watson Harrington of
D over as his deputy for Kent county
and Charles W. Whitley as deputy for
Sussex county. All are Democrats.
Mr.. Wolcott and Mr.. Harrington are
among the younger members of the
bar, and both are classed as "dry"
men. Mr.. Whitley is one of the older
members of the bar, and is regarded
in ability as one of the leading men
of the profession. Mr.. Wolcott will be
the principal deputy attorney-gene-
raj, and as such will receive 81, 600
a year, while Mr.. Whitley and Mr..
Harrington will receive $500 a year
each. Mr.. Wolcott is the son of the
late James L. Wolcott, former
chancellor of Delaware. He read
law under the late Edward Ridgely
and remained in his office until Mr..
Ridgely's death. He then continued
his law studies under Henry R. John
son, of Dover, completing his course
in his office. Mr.. Wolcott was ad-
mitted to the bar at the spring term
OF the Kent County court in 1904,
and he then went to Wilmington.
where he has lived and practiced
since. Mr.. Harrington is a son of
the late Charles Harrington, a form
er register of wills of Kent county.
The Younger Harrington filled the
unxpired term of his father when he
died. Mr.. Harrington is a graduate
of Delaware College. He. spent one
year in the law school of Harvard
University. He read law under Ed
ward Ridgely and was admitted to
the Kent county bar a few years
later. He is a nephew of former
Governor William T. Watson. MIR.
Whitley is a graduate of Columbia
Law School. He was a classmate of
Chancellor John r. Nicholson at the
law school and is member of a le-
gal partnership in which Frank M.
Jones and Sudler Richards of George
town are the only partners. MIR.
Whitley at one time was a clerk of
the State Senate, also has been reg
lister in chancery and clerk of the
Orphans Court in Sussex county,
and at one time was consul to st.
Etienne, France. 1t is altogether
likely that Mr.. Gray will follow the
plan introduced by Attorney-genera
Richards of having one of the Kent
or Sussex deputies to come to Will
mington to assist in preparing inditt-
ments at the New Castle County
Court, and when court is being held
at Dover or Georgetown, Mr.. VOL
colt will go there to assist the deputy
of the county in which the court is
sitting.
