one minute that they are not taking

Many small ballots were cast yester-

had before.
There are so many pretty babies

1t has been a long time since Man

which opened at the house yesterday
John ]. MCGOWAN and Company in
sketch dealing with the political views
and experiences of an Irishman. Dan
Mccarthy, and Rubenstein, a Russian
Jew, with the scene laid in New York
on election right, proved a remarkable
and realistic bit of acting, and one
that fully merited the applause that
greeted It. Amelia Summerville,
comedienne, known to the theatre-goers
everywhere, and a star of many high
class productions, gives a very pleas
ing sketch well worthy of her art as
an actress. Minnie Allen and Harry
Gardner have a classical offering in a
singing and dancing act that would be
hard to excel. The Johnny Busch Trio,
introducing a juvenile Of exceptional
cleverness, made quite a hit yesterday,
and Coakley and Mcbride, two talking
comedians, and VIII Lacy. a comedy
cyclist, nj contributed. The musical
attraction cf the week is the famous

traordinary interest. coming as it does
at the end of one Of the classiest pro-
grams the Garrick has offered in many

Miss Keynillar, a soprano of ability.
The little bandmaster received a hearty
welcome yesterday, and deserved il.
The picture machine completes the bill
with three new films. The Garrick
is pretty certain to prove strong
magnet this week for those who enjoy
high-class vaudeville.

SUSSEX BERRIES BRING
DEMAND FOR GOOD ROADS
Bv star Corresnondent

/ by stan correspondent.
/ GEORGETOWN, March 16.-If the
present Legislature gets through with
out doing something substantial for the
/ Improvement of the roads in Sussex
county some of the members viii have
a hard time explaining their woy clear
TO their constituents
The demand for good roads in Sus-
sex county is remarkable. Where a
/ few years ago no interest was shown
and the worst roads were accepted as
matter of fact. a healthy and county
wide sentiment has sprung up for high
ways that can be traversed without
trouble.
When Oliver w. Newton was in the
Legislature several years ago and got
the Newton good roads bin through IL
started the agitation for better roads
in Sussex. During the past two years
government experts from Washington
hav loctured throughout the county on
the subject and the Levy Court and
leading citizens OF both political par
ties have discussed the subject. The
result is that Sussex county is de-
manding good roads, and with aid from
the state it is expected that many
highways will be improved the next
two years.
Representative Rawlins' bill provides
that the state can appropriate $4,000
when a district in the county raises
| $1,000 for roads, or at that ratio for
/ lesser amounts This is expected TO
be. an incentive. The Sussex county
/ folks also want TO see the state road
rebuilt. Senator Reed of l1llendale is
an ardent advocate of an improved
state road.
Berries the Reason.
Many persons have inquired as TO
the reason for the general sentiment
in favor Of good roads, and the reason
is found in the growing prosperity Of
Sussex county and its progress as a
fruit. vegetable and berry growing
center.
These lines OF farm culture have adj
vanced wonderfully With increasing
yields Of berries. potatoes. etc. has
come increased gauling. The berries
have TO be taken 10 the railroad and
shipping centers. and miserable roads
retard the growers and shippers. So
/ the demand for better highways has
come with tho. Strawberries and the
potato crops.
And also with them has come rivalry
between towns, each striving TO outdo
the other as a shipping center and a
center for buyers. This has encour-
aged the residents and business men
OF different towns TO become advocates
OF better roads, and better roads will
come.
The rivalry between Frankford,
lAInlsboro and Dagsboro and the road
building now in progress through Bal
timore hundred are fitting illustration
Of what the berry business is doing in
Sussex
