DISAPPOINTED
OVER AUDITOR

There is much dissatisfaction among
some Of the Democratic politicians be-
cause there will be no election for
state auditor this year inasmuch as
Governor Pennewill has appointed
Colonel Theodore Townsend. Of Mil
ford, TO be auditor for a term ending
January /. 1913.
Since the appointment was made af-
ter the state judiciary had unanimous
ly interpreted the constitution TO the
effect that the governor could appoint
a man whose successor would be elect
ed I'm 1912. it is the general opinion
that the Democrats can do nothing eX-
cept withdraw the name Of William n.
Walker, of Dover, from their ticket.
Word comes from Dover quoting MT.
Walker to the effect that he will stay
on the ticket He may do that, but
what good It would do is not appa-
rent to the politicians, since the judges
already have established the COVER
nor's right to MI the office.

TYPHOID SHOWS
A FALLING OFF
Only Two New Cases Reported
to Health Board This
Week

According to Secretary Malcom, of
the Board Of Health. only two cases
OF typhoid fever we're reported during
the past week. Mr. Malcom says this
sickness is falling off and he expected
that within\a week or two there would
be few. If any. cases Of It in the city.
There were 20 cases Of the fever re-
ported during September with but two
cases reported in the last week of the
month which shows a great falling
of of the disease.
Both the Health and Water Depart
ment officials maintain that the small
number of cases Of the fever reported
in the city within the past few months
is due entirely TO the fact that the
city is now receiving filtered water
Up until the first OF last month there
were few cases but when the people
began 70 return home from their sum-
mer vacations, the sickness broke out
In nearly all the cases the fever was
contracted elsewhere.
As a comparison. the number OF
cases Of typhoid fever reported in the
month of September, 1909, totalled S4
and in some houses there were as
many as two cases and in one place
three cases. This number is 55 moro
than the total of cases reported dur.
ing the month just ended
Secretary Malcom reported p
deaths. 81 births and 3S marriages
during the week just ended. For thu
/ corresponding period of last yea
there were 26 deaths, 20 births and 3
marriages reported.
