Delaware Apple Crop

When the reports of the apple
crop shipments began to come into
the State Agricultural authorities at
Dover this week, it was thought that
somebody had made a mistake. The
reports show apple shipments amount
ing to eleven times those of 1909
That this great fruit crop in Della
ware was growing and expanding
was well-known, but that it could in
crease eleven fold in one year seemed
highly improbable. Then the records
were searched for 1908 and it was
seen that the 1908 crop was five
times that of 1909, thereby remind
ing the authorities that the crop OF
1909 was practically failure. The
figures are therefore correct, show
ing eleven times as many apples
shipped this year and more thar
double the crop of two years ago
which was ther thought to be large
The daily total for August II, owe
the Pennsylvania Railroad, wa
5, 527 for the day. Previous ship
ments in 1910 amounted to SOP, ga
baskets. This makes the total to dat
sos, 473 baskets. The 1909 total t
date was AZ, 965 baskets.

To the man who has been reared
IN the country or the country town
which is adjacent to open fields and
woods, and which is but a step from
the street or lane to an adjoining
farm, there is no sweeter sound at
this season of the year than that
made by the katydid when it begins
its evening serenade of the oft-re-
peated assertion. To add co the old
familiar charge and the equally oft
repeated denial of what Katy did.
is the chorus of the crickets and the
thousands of other night insects. The
first chorus of the katydid was heard
tuning up the early part of this
week, and the old adage says that
we shall have frost within six weeks
from that time.
During .he month of June and
July there were shipped from the
Easter Shore of Virginia over the
line of the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk Railroad, 1,l98, 100 bar
rels of round potatoes; 1876, S16 bar
rels were shipped from Cape Charles
alone in the month of June and 225, j..
142 barrels during the month of July,
total of ZIG, 734 for the two months
There was an estimated increase of
half million barrels over last year s
shipments leaving the Eastern Shore
points this season.

and vagabonding among the trees and
flowers, watching the evening sun sink
out Of sight beyond the worlds end,
glad with the mystery OF young life,
which seemed so pleasant, yet sweetly
saddened by the disappearance of the
sun and the gathering gloom, sugges-
tive of a change we did not then under
stand but felt impending.
When we hear some lucre-loving
materialist rebuke people for living in
the past, we only have pity for him.
We know for sure he has lost some OIL
the sweetest moments in life. The
mar or woman who has a healthy,
wholesome youth to reflect on has an
inexhaustible fund on which to draw
for pleasure in mature years.
For all our young readers we hope
this Christmas time may be n on
which they can reflect in future
with pleasure and satisfaction. And
may our mature friends and patrons, in
the bestowing Of gifts, find some com
pensation for years and gray hair.

Court Decides What is a Negro

In Washington, where negroes form
one-third of the population, the ques-
ton of what constitutes a negro has
been a vexed question. 1t was brought
to a head by the parents of Isabel Wall,
an eight year old child having one-six-
teenth negro blood, who was refused
admission to a white school on the
grounds that she was a negro. The
parents insisted that she should be
considered white, and the question was
taken into court. Chief Justice Shep-
herd, of the District Court Of Appeals,
decided any child having an apprecia-
BILE mixture OF negro blood, without re-
gard to the proportion, is 'colored."
It is understood the case will be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
The act OF congress providing for
separate schools for white and colored
children will be attacked in the appeal,
which also urges congress to define the
meaning of the word ''colored."

To Our Friends, Young and Old

Once more the season is upon US
when the time old custom of exchang-
ing greetings and gifts is INDUCED in.
When old and young are aquiver with
that pleasure the grown-ups find in
giving and the children in receiving
presents. With those who can still
count their years on the fingers of two
hands the little thrills of expectation
mark the most pleasing period in the
life of boys and girls. Who cannot re-
call those days with ever recurring
pleasure is a dour old curmudgeon and
deserves sympathy.
Associated with the Christmas time
are some of our most cherished re-
Elections on the Days that are no
more-the days Of our golden youth"
Alas, what would we not give to recall
them, if only once more to enter into
the Christmas joys with the old-time
spirit Of youth. All, but that was the
time when nothing seemed impossible,
when everything in this world looked
sure and true. That vas the trusting
time before we learned that men were
false and things mot always what they
SEEM" The time when troubles
weighed as light as down and departed
with the dawn. Had we the wealth Of
a Rockefeller or a Morgan we would
gladly give every farthing to live those
days over again. We would gladly
give every perishing thing we call our
own to once more stand on a hill top
in the faith and vigor Of youth, tired
from a day spent chasing butterflies

The school rooms presented a busy
scene yesterday when the local reporter
visited them. The teachers are indus
triously getting ready for the program
to be given this afternoon by the child
rem. The rooms are decorated in the
Christmas colors Of red and green and
the drawings made by the children.
One room presented a pretty
scene in the way Of a SHOWS
torn in progress. Another room
is decorated with pictures made by
the pupils and wreaths of evergreen
tied with red ribbon. And SO on; each
room different from its neighbor, yet
original ideas Of the children were car
ried out as far as possible, along with
suggestions from the teachers. Ever
green, holly, ~fireplaces and Christmas
trees take a prominent part in the dec
orations.
The school will be closed for the
holiday vacation until the Monday fol-
lowing New Year. Miss Paine will
spend her vacation in Port Townsend
with her parents; Miss WhaIey will 60
to Chelan, and Miss Amos will spend
the week at her home in Dryden.
The others will remain in Leavenworth
over the holidays.
Miss Catherine McNeal, the third
grade teacher who was taken to her
home in %Bellingham last week suffering
from a nervous collapse, is reported as
being much better; but it is thought
she will not be able to resume teaching
this winter. In case she is not, an
other teacher will be selected from the
many applicants and will be here to

dogs that are highly priced by theil
owners. 1t is a practice that is hard to
stop, because the gully offender is
hard to catch.
1t is a violation of law to put out
poison, punishable by a heavy fine;
but since it is so difficult to locate the
guilty offender the next best thing to
do is to remove the cause for the act
ivities of the dog p~oisoner.
The best remedy we have ever seen
tried is to destroy every worthless, I'M
licensed dog in the community, max
ing a special effort not to permit female
dogs to run at large. If the owners oil
dogs will agree to the adoption OF this
course, and see that the regulation is
strictly enforced, we believe dog pois-
oning will cease.

thirty, and when a spell of real weather
came with a heavy fall of now and a
big drop in temperature, only four OF
the children remained away. On this
particular ~occacion the windows were
closed to keep out the snow, but the
temperature was cool, and the children
were told if they would report to the
teacher when they were chilly they
would be permitted to go home. At
l o'clock, when they were dismissed
for the day, not one of them had asked
to be excused.
This experiment is in the interest Of
delicate children predisposed, perhaps.

FORGOT THE KEY.
Then the Locksmith Showed Him How
to Open the Door.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Eastend started
out to spend the evening in pursuance
of an engagement they paused on the
front steps long enough for Mrs. E.
to PROFOUND the usual query. Have
you got the key, dear?'

a minute. No, l haven't, either. What
do you think of that? Must have left

"Well, here's a pretty how-de-do!'

agely but fruitlessly rummaged his
pockets. "How are we going to get in

to find them all carefully locked.
Neighbors awoke to the situation and
began to be helpful.
Get a ladder" said one.
"Get a jimmy" said another.
"Get an acceptance" said a third.
Various other expedients. ranging
from derricks to dynamite, were sug-
gested. Finally one neighbor brought
a ladder which wouldn't reach the
second story windows by six feet. 1t
was suggested that the fire depart
ment be summoned. Rejected.
By this time the engagement had to
be called off. and the remarks Mrs. e..
was making to the female contingent
of the assemblage will not here be re-
corded. AS a last resort a locksmith
was suggested, and Mr.. e. departed in
search of one. AT the end of an hour
he returned with a stolid looking Ger
man bearing an armful of tools.
"Vich toor?" he inquired.
"This one" said Mrs. E., land for

tried the knob. 1t turned. The catch
had not caught. The door swung
open. He turned and gave the assem-

out of a window and kindly inquire.

that it was not necessary for
them to submit any argument
at all to the court. We take
this to mean that the supreme
court had already decided to
sustain the finding of the State
Board Of Canvassers and that
any argument from the at
torneys representing that side
of the question would be super
erogatory.
If this be the correct view,
the question of creating the
county of Rutledge, as centem-
plated in the election last Au.
gust, is settled for four years
at least.

The RUTLEBGE COUNTY CONTEST.
In the Hearing Before Supreme Court
the Case Takes a Peculiar TurB.

The hearing in the Rutledge
county election contest was
held before the supreme court
in Columbia last Monday. At
torney Welch represented the
petitioners, (that is, the new
county advocates, ,)while Messrs
Leroy Lee and j Harry Lesesne
of Williamsburg and Clarendon,
respectively, appeared on be-
half of the State Board of Can
vassers, whose decision that
the election on the new county
question was valid an, legal
had been protested by tn peti-
TONERS.
In his argument, Mr. Welch
frankly stated that he would
not attack the legality of the
election in Williamsburg, but
would base his argument to
nullify the election upon the
alleged irregularities in Claren-
don county. Whereupon Asso-
ciate Justice Wood asked Mr.
Welch what he had to gain if
he succeeded IN convincing the
court that the election was IL
legal in Clarendon, when he
conceded it to be legal in Will
liamsburg. Mr. Welch took the
ground that if he could show
the Clarendon election to be
illegal, then the whole elec tion
was null and void, and along
this line proceeded with his
argument.
When the attorneys for the
opposing side were ready to
make their reply they were told
