TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
 OF JEFFERSON COUNTY
T. r. Stewart, D. C.
 11-4--1l-1S-25-l2-22

Without wishing to influence your votes for either Of the other cand'. dates, for circuit clerk. and with no personal malice to NIT. A. F. McNel,. I wish to make a statement as foi. lows: simply that you may judge o{ his democracy, and hence his claiI1 to democratic support.
 In 1908 was the regular demo- cratic nominee for constable of Bar raque township, having won the nom- tnaticn fairly, before the white aesn- ocrauc voters of the township. at the regular primary election. that noraina- ted county and township officers.
 Messrs. Harwell and Matthews were the nominees for justice of peace, at the same election. At the general election following Mr. McNeil, who Is now asking the democratic nou1ina- ton for circuit clerk, ran as an in- dependent candidate for constable and defeated me. This was done. charge, with the negro voters of the town shin, and caused the defeat of one of the democratic nominees for justice of the peace, ill the township, by ne- gro republican, Tom Mingea, by name. An analysis of the vote of the town ship will show this to be true
 
 Barraque township has two votins precincts, viz: Redfeld and Kearney. Nearly all of the negyoes voted at Kearney, less than a dozen voting at Redfield.
 The vote at the two precincts for constable and magistrate was ar fol- lows:

 At Redield.

You will see that Matthews, the defeated democratic nominee for nag- istrate and myself ran together, at each place and that McNeil and the negro ran together.
 An analysis of this vote shows such close parallel between the vote at each place in the vote cast for Mo- Neil and that cast for the Negro re- publican candidate for justice of the peace, Tom A1ingea, as to leave no uoubt in an unbiased mind that tho same or practically the same votes were cast for each.
 This statement of the votes is .afen from the returns of the General Elec- tion as certified to by the Election Cummiss toners, and nine tenrhs of the l white voters of Barraque township, will bear me out in my deductions Of course this is a free country, long as he violates no law, but every white man knows the need of party 1 loyalty, in this section, and when a
 man asks for a party nomination he should have a clean record as to party loyalty, and no stain of conf vance however remote with the negro republican element in politics. give this statement out to the
 Democrats of Jefferson county, so that
 you may judge for yourselves just
 how much Mr. AfcNeil Is entitled to your support.
 1 have no interests as between the other candidates, but do feel that any man who asks democratic nouli- nation, a, the hands of his party, should show clean party record. an1 not have even suspicion of collusion
 with negro Republicans to defeat rea
 gular Democratic nominees.
 Respectfully yours for Democratic principles. T. H. FORT. ? l0-2s 70 12-l @t@ %@

and Alfred Gawthrop addressed the Board
Of Trade at its monthly meeting last night
on the Industrial progress Of Whining
ton during the last half-century.
Mr.. Grubb, a native Of Pennsylvania,
who has lived in Wilmington for IS years
was the first speaker. After telling that
he had voted for Franklin Pierce for
President, he spoke of the early members
of his family in a most entertaining man.
ner, Of which Judge Grubb is also a
descendant. Judge Grubb's grandfather,
according to Mr.. Grubb. lost his vote A1r
Grubb also gave vivid recollecuons of the
times when travellers were obliged t3 pay
toll into Wilmington. and when there
was not business building beyond Fourth
and Market streets. His recollections Of
railroad building and other early indus
tries were also interesting. The popula-
ton Of Wilmington, according TO Mr..
Grubb was 14l6O in 1850 which he con-
trasted with the present population as
evidence Of the city's progress much of
which he attributed to the Board of Trade.
Mr.. Conrad spoke in a similar vein. He
announced that he had come into posses
sion Of the second directory published in
Wilmington. Only one person whose name
/ was mentioned in that directory is living
Albert W. Smith OF Seventh and Washing
ton streets. the address mentioned as his
residence in 1si5. Other interesting data

ckessin in ISIS. told Of his boyhood inn

10 the market with his father and when
the city was not visible from what is now

in which he spoke OF some Of Whining
toms early business men.

TELLS JOKE ON ENGLISH.
staspooIe at Opera House Admits That
American Sense Of Humor is Keener.


American Sense Of Humor is Keener.
Now It must be true Mr.. Stagpoole.
Of the famous Four Stagpooles proved
II yesterday afternoon in his dressing
room at the Opera House. What's
true? Why that old slam at tho
English because they're so slow In TAX
ing a joke.
American audiences are much
quicker at grasping points of comedJ
than the English" he said. This f.
the way It is at home: you tell Joke.
then you wait a minute. Then you
give a diagram of il. Then it's a minute
or so longer before they begin TO laugh.
In the north Of England they're the
worst.
The Stagpooles. as is generally
known. are English people themselves,
but all of them possess a keen sense
of humor. In fact in the general con-
versation that ensued yesterday one
would think that they might as well
be Yankees, so quick are they in get
ting the meat OF jokes that one would
naturally suppose would be entirely
foreign 10 them. They are Jolly fam
lily all the way through and seem to
get as much genuine enjoyment out
OF life, OF the stage as they appear 10
be having while going through their
uproariously funny act on the stage
They have toured all over the world
and have played important engage
ments in almost every city OF promi-
nence in the far east as we'll as in
Europe and America, and their success
has been remarkable. Only recently
they completed a protracted tour oc
Australia. Their present bookings
provide for forty odd consecutive weeks
in the leading vaudeville theatres OF
this country. after which they go TO
London for a whole season. It was a
great capture for the Bijou Circuit
Company when that management Sc
cured the Stagpooles for a weeks en-
gagement at the Opera House here, for
they have scored a tremendous hit in
this city.
