MRS. REEDS STATEMENT.
From Gazette-News

It was officially stated today
that the trouble over the Bit
more postoffice involving the re-
moval of Mrs. Fannie J. Reed,
the appointment of E. J. Luther,
and the later development of
the filing of an affidavit by Con-
gresham Grant with the depart
ment to the effect that Mrs.
Reed attempted to "bribe" the
Tenth district representative,
will probably all be aired both in
the courts of law and before the
senate of the United States. It
was stated that friends of Mrs.
Reed have been busy getting to-
gether all data on the subject
and that when congress meets a
tight on the confirmation of Mr..
Luther as postmaster at Biltmore
nay bring out all the Grant
Dntroversy. In such an event
tits possible that an investiga-
ton of the whole matter may be
made, including the alleged
statement of Mr.. Grant to Mrs.
Reed after election, that all
Oficeholders must come across.
Statement from Mrs. Reed.
Mrs. Reed gave to the press
the following statement:
In view of the fact that Mr..
Grant has made a statement re-
lative to charges he preferred
against me which caused my
removal from Office, | have the
following statement to make:
Sometime after the November
election friend accompanied
me to Grants home. When
questioned about the office, he
said, Il haven't decided who |
will endorse for the office. "
During the conversation he told
me all about his campaign, ex-
planning that he was "hard up"
and said that on one occasion
when he returned from a trip in
the country he didn't have a cent
and was forced to borrow from
the bank.
asked him to endorse me and
retain me in office if possible. /
further said: Mr.. Luther is al
right; he is a young man without
anyone to support but himself,
and has a good paying business,
and this is the only way I have
to support my little six year old
CIR. am endorsed by great
majority of the patrons of the
Office, and all the business men,
and feel that | should have the
r5e-appointment as | have only
nladthe office for one term. At
TINS point he called my attention
70 the fact that | had not contri-
outed to the campaign fund.
On leaving his home and
Soiiodlng them goodbye, I asked
MS daughter to use her influence
for me.
| left my letters of endorse
ment at his request, and in about
Two weeks went back to his home
ana while his daughter was hunt
ing Tor my endorsements, which
5ad been misplaced, he glanced
nd9SIliy over more endorsements
which | had taken with me.

WILMINGTON A HORSE CENTER.

w ILMINGTON has an enviable reputation
as a center for horse racing of the un-
smrched kind that appeals to the public. No
city in the country has attained greater pres
tge than Wilmington in the way Of trotting and
pacing meets Much has been done by the Cen
tlemen's Driving Club to merit this honor. The
weekly matinees at Horse Show Park have
brought together some excellent track horses
and the races have been conducted in sports
manke and friendly spirit, without any pang
to leave an impress other than that of pleasure
1t is but natural outgrowth of the matinee
races that Wilmington should support success
fully the larger trotting and pacing meets held
under the auspices of the Gentlemen's Driving
Club and the County Fair. Certainly none OF
the cities in the East or the county fairs, aside
from the grand circuit, have produced better
trotting and pacing meets than have been held in
Wilmington the past season, and the promoters
of this sport are deserving of the most substan-
tian support and encouragement.

A LIVE BOARD OF TRADE.

w ILLIAMSPORT, Pa, has an active Board
of Trade and the newspapers of that
city speak in glowing terms of the good work
it has been doing. Nine years ago it was reorgan-
lied, and since then it has had, according to the
Wamsport Sun, "a glorious record of progress,
and public spirit, and of doing" The last nine
years have bes- marked in that city by a splen-
did increase oS industrial activity of commercial
interest, of financial resources, of railroad bus-
ness and of population.
The credit and honor Of this belongs to the
Board of Trade. good record to be sure The
Williamsport Board is trying to increase its
membership, and a campaign is on for new mem
bers The present membership of the Board is
45o, which is a very good showing for city the
size of Wilamsport, trihe better than Will
mington has according to its population.
These Williamsport figures prove that those
who think there is room for considerable increase
in our own Board Of Trade are right. Every bus
mess man, especially, and in fact, every person
who is in sympathy with the movement to make
Wilmington grow as she has never grown before,
should be registered as a member of our Board
of Trade

LET THE SPRINGS FLOW.

O many the plant of persons living in
the western section of this city about
the inadequate flow of water from public springs
in their vicinity may seem trivial, but to the
residents who patronize these springs the griev-
ance is of more than passing moment In the
past few years, since the drinking water drawn
from the Brandywine seems TO have deteriorated,
hundreds of persons have gotten into the habit
of obtaining water in pitchers and kettles from
the public springs in Brandywine Park, at
Fourth and Franklin streets, Fourth and Mon
roe streets and other locations to be used for
drinking purposes as a substitute for the water
from city mains.
The spring water has been analysed repeatedly
by DIR. Robin and has been found tc be pure and
as free from bacteria as unhltered water gener-
ally can be had. In quality the water from city
springs is far superior to that dispensed from
the city reservoirs and it did not take the resi-
dents 81 Wilmington long to learn this fact.
.SbSssidents in the vicinity OF the Fourth and
Frahkn and Fourth and Monroe streets pub
lie springs have voiced many grievances lately
about the diminished flow of water from one or
the other of those fountains. Now that healthy
stream of water gushes from the Fourth and
Franklin spring. the spring at Fourth and Mon
roe streets which is connected with that at
Fourth and Franklin has about ceased to give
forth water. A stream tric<es from the Mon
roc street spout about the size OF a pen holder,
and result is that il requires nearly an hour
to fill a large pitcher. This causes patrons Of
the Monroe street spring much inconvenience and
annoyance, and they are clamoring that the full
flow OF water be restored.
There seems to be no valid reason why the
patrons of public springs should not have their
complaint remedied. They cannot be blamed
for not drinking Brandywine water il they can
get the purer spring water. The city went 20
the trouble of spending a great sum to install a
preliminary filter that apparently has brought
little relief in the way of purifying the
water, and surely the city department that has
supervision OF the public springs should find
funds somewhere TO convert the springs into
gushers OF pure water. It should be done with
out delay too, for purer water will mean less ty-
phoid fever and other ailments.

COST OF AIRSHIPs.

a N English financial paper has been esti-
4 mating the cost of aeroplanes and thinks
that the time will soon come when flying ma
chine capable of carrying two persons may be
built and sold for $780, At so low figure there
might be considerable demand for the arships,
but most people will be inclined to believe that
'he hgures are very low.
Everything indicates, however, that the dav is
not lar distant when companies will be organ
lied to manufacture flying machines at a price
considerably higher than that estimated by the
English paper. In fact, at that low figure dv-
ing machines might become too common
II IS estimated that the present cost of the en-
gines in flying ship of the approved tvne IS
about $4,000 and an aeroplane cannot be bought
for much less than $1,000 while many are held
at $1,000 or $Sooo
If we may judge by the high prices of auto
mobiles, the price of airships will not reach the
London papers figure for some wears, if at all.
The price of automobiles has been held up in A
remarkable manner The demand for airshns
could not be SO heavy as that for automobiles.
and If there arc to be purchasers for the
Wright and similar machines the BUYERS will be
confined to the rich who can afford TO indulge in
that kind of luxurious sport With airships they
would certainly be above their fellows and there
would be a contest as to who could reach the
highest aim in life. The hghhicrs would be-
come a reality as we'll as a figure Of speech.
