the whole trouble is in the financial
management displayed. From
what we are able to learn, the levy
court has so far this year, failed to
turn over to the Trustees Of the
Poor their annual allowance, and
that body IS, for this reason, dis
credited and unable to pay its bills.
We know that the Republican par
ty is capable of bringing order out
of the chaos now existing, and for
the credit of all concerned, radical
action should be taken at the next
meeting to set. the affairs of Sussex
right before the world. Members
of the Levy Court owe this to
themselves, and it is the duty of
their advisor to point the way, if
they are not capable Of seeing it.
Let us again be able to point with
pride to good, sound county gov
in Sussex County.

THE old Jail at Georgetown has
been a disgrace so long to the
county of Sussex, that the people
take any escape or any mishap as a
matter-Of-course. In one room,
(not a cell) is herded ten prisoners,
and in this room they cook and
eat, and perform all the necessities
Of a human being it is no wonder
that moral depravity is encouraged
by such a prison System. Last
week one of the prisoners manufac-
tured a dummy out of his clothes
and secreted himself in the yard,
and then managed to escape. 1t
is no fault of Sheriff West, but of
the people of Sussex County who
permit such conditions to exist.
Let us have a genuine reform; not
a political redistribution OF Offices,
for nothing would come of that.

THE split in the Methodist
Church at Dover appears to be
slowly simmering down to an or
dinary squabble, and the dissentels,
or followers of the Rev. Light
bourne, insist that they will build
a new church, independent ofregu-
lar Methodist Conference. Ten
years from now, the entire affair
will be remembered only as an ex-
ceptionally bitter church quarrel,
which was famed and kept blaz ing
by the local newspaper correspon-
dents of Dover It has already re-
ceived far more space in the papers

THE loss of fat hogs has been a
serious matter to many in and
about Milford this summer. The
trouble seems to be the well-known
disease, hog cholera. " 1t is to
be hoped that the present exper-
fence will be enough to break up
the practice which hangs on with
few individuals, regardless Of the
cost of feed or corn, to keep hogs
in the town limits. Hog pens are a
nuisance tolerated by neighbors Of
those who keep them, only because
they dislike to prosecute a neigh
Dor; and yet the neighbor does not
hesitate to keep a nuisance to an
noy them day and night, and make
their home unpleasant. There are
two sides to all questions and we
firmly believe that no man has a
right to maintain an annoyance to
a neighbor even on his own prem
ises. 1t is to be hoped that the
present loss from hog cholera will |
break up hog raising in Milford |
put the cost of feed each
week in the savings bank, and at
the end Of the year, you will have
very near, if not as much money to
buy pork with, as the pork would
to raised in town; and save
the risk of loss at this same time,
while the trouble, stencil and work
will be avoided.

WHEN the people subscribed for
stock in the local telephone COM
panies started primarily for the
convenience of the local towns of
Delaware, it was thought that the
lines would be operated for the di-
rect interests of the people, but the
possibilities for profit soon attract
ed the attention of those who en-
gineered consultations, mergers,
and sales, until the fellow who took
stock on the first basis, was frozen
out. Since then the rates have
been raised to meet the require
ments to pay dividends on the mer-
gers. Thelatest rumor states that
the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany, with all its controlled lines
on this Peninsula, is to be absorbed
by the American Telegraph and
Telephone Company of New Jer-
sey. To the people of Delaware
this has no interest, other than the
hope that better system Of tele-
phone service may follow.

A LOCAL item states that the
County Court House at George
town is being cleaned and reno

OF all, the building needs remodel

completely saturated with tobacco
spital that mere soap and water can
not efface the filth. It's stairways
are sights to behold, and yet the
people use them each term ofcourt
without protest as to the condition.

which they are existing.

THE upper part of Kent County
is afflicted with a serious outbreak
ofanthrax among the stock which
must be a very serious matter to
the farmers. The State Board OF
Agriculture has taken hold of the
situation, and will make every ef-
fort to stamp out the fatal and cost
ly disease. There is no absolutely
sure preventive from the disease,
but the inoculation by vaccination,
will save a very large percentage of
stock, if done before actual infec-
tiOn has taken place.

DELAWARE will not get new ad-

Justice Pennewill and the Resident

Commissioner from having any

IT IS with deep regret we learr
that the county orders on the treas.
vrer Sussex county are not worth

counts of from FIVE to ten per cent.
are insisted upon by dealers who
shave them at Georgetown. This
revives the conditions Of twenty
years ago when the Democrats
controlled and mismanaged county
affairs, and which was the cause of
their downfall. While the law
which set back the date for dis
counting taxes to October is part
ly and very largely responsible for
the lack of funds in the county
treasury; yet there is a lack of
business ability shown in financial
management by the Levy Court or
its advisor, whoever that may be

fact that a member of the Levy
Court is far more important to

Charcoal Purifies
Any Breath
And in Its Purest Form Has Long Beer
Known as the Greatest Gas
AbsOrber.

Pure willow charcoal will Oxidize al
most any OdOr and render it sweet and
pure. A painful in a foul cellar will alb
sorb deadly fumes, for charcoal absorbs
one hundred times it's volume in gas.
The ancients knew the value Of char
coal and administered it in cases of
illness, especially pertaining to the
stomach. In England today charcoal
poultices are used for ulcers, boils, ETC.,
while some physicians in Europe claim
to cure many skin diseases by covering
the afflicted skin with charcoal powder.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges go into
the mouth and transfer foul odors at
once into oxygen, absorb nOxious gases
and acids and when swallowed mix
with the digestive juices and stop gas
making, fermentation and decay.
BY their gentle qualities they control
benef1cially bowel action and stop diar-
rhoea and constipation.
Bad breath simply cannot exist when
charcoal is used. There are no ifs or
andS about this statement. Don't take
our word for it, but look into the mat
ter yourself. Ask your druggist or
physician, or better still, look up char
coal in your encyclopedia. The beauty
of Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges is that
the highest pharmaceutical expert
knowledge obtainable has been used to
prepare a lOzenge that will give to man
the best form of charcoal for use.
Pure willow and honey is the result.
Two or three after meals and at bed
time sweeten the breath, stop decay of
teeth, aid the digestive apparatus and
promote perfect bowel action. They
enrich the supply of oxygen to the sys-
tenn and thereby revivify the blood and
nerves.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are sold
everywhere in vast quantities, thus
they must have merit. Every druggist
carries them, price twenty-f1 cents
per box, or send us your name and ad-
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. A.
