THE Workhouse Trustees are
demanding that Sussex County pay
a little matter of $4,000 now due for
keeping prisoners for the last six
months. 1t is a shame that a veal
thy agricultural community like
Sussex County should be so humi-
Hated by mismanagement on the
part of its Levy Court. 1t is use
less to gloss the conditions over
they are simply shameful,
Milford chronicle., 1909-11-19

AGAIN and again for years past
the Grand Jury of Sussex County
have cried out against the discom-
fort and Inconvenience that mem
bers of that important body Of our
government are compelled founder
90 at least twice each year, but up
to the present nothing has resulted
from their outcry for better facili-
ties, and descent surroundings to
transact their own business. The
Court has made demands and the
newspapers of the county have de-
manded that the people be permit
ted to have what they know they
want, but the Levy Court, compos-
ed of men who think they know
more than the people themselves,
refuse to make any change in the
unsanatary, uncomfortable and dis
graceful conditions underwhich the
courts of Sussex are compelled to
continue. When the sessions are
held, the Grand Jury has a room
crowded and unkempt, and the only
other room available for the petit
Jury is the room used by the Levy
Court, and when that body happens
to be in sittings at the same time,
the situation is ludicrous. This time
the Grand Jury has again recon-
mended that suitable quarters be
provided, and that certain other
changes be made by the Levy
Court, but a few of the advisors
will wisely wabble their crauieums
on their spinal columns. and tell
the members of the Levy Court that
the party who attempts to make
these changes is sure to loose pow
er, and the members will supinely
ignore the voice of the people.
There will come a day of reconing
for the people, but will they place
men in positions who will think
and act for themselves? The most
intelligent and capable men should
be sent to the levy courts, because
they handle all the public monies,
and plan all the public improve
ments. The Sussex Republican Of
Georgetown last week on this sub
ject said:
While the Grand Jury was in
session that body occupied the
Grand Jury room. The Attorney
Generals Deputies used the Levy
Court room, leaving no room up
stairs to which the Petit Jury, en-
panelled in any case, could retire
while reaching a verdict, so that,
they were compelled to use the
s office, which of course dur
ing such occupancy, was closed to
the public, although the law requires
it to beopen at all times Sundays
excepted. J" The Court has no re-
firing room and the Bar is hardly
large enough to accommodate the
members.
This County is able to afford
better accommodation for its Courts
and we do hope the day will soon
rome when public sentiment will
Justify an improved Court House
large enough for all purposes.

an opportunity to tell her story.

causes that led up to her husbands
being arrested.
My husband has been out of work
all winter she said. W. are so poor
that often VIC have been without food
for days. We have to keep the house
warm for baby's sake. Nearly all the
flooring in the kitchen has been pulled
up to light the fire. and we were afraid
the landlord will find it out. Surely
