BAD TOWN TO DRINK.

ne time was when a man hesitated
TO decline an invitation to drink be
cause custom made taking a social
glass the ordinary thing TO do. The
best evidence of the growth of the
temperance sentiment is that more
and more men do not hesitate even at
banQuets where wines are served to
turn down their glasses. The st. Louis
Republic gives a recent incident and
observation in proof of the changes,
saying:
"A ST. LOuiSian, returning
from viewing the Kingdoms of the
earth and the glory of them on the
other side of the Atlantic, I'D as a

Weekly and the North American Re

THE Westerner asked Col. Harvey
how he accounted for the great fall
ing off in the habi Of drinking on
s~hipboard. Just as I account for the
falling off of the same practice on
land" was the answer; 1t has come
to be bad form to drink"
eff Col. Harvey is right the water

the beau monde as a 1912 eighty

WHAT WILL COTTON FARMERS
DO?

The cotton farmers have made
their crop this year at a heavier ex-
pense than ever before. The high
price Of food stuff and of meat. which
has helped the Western farmers. has
increased the cost of living to the
Southern farmers who buy their flour
and much of their meat; the cost Of
mules has been twice as high as when
cotton was last at ten and eleven
cents; labor has been higher because
Of the Increased cost Of living, .1ost
Of the support of laborers being pur-
chased from stores; and therefore If
the Southern farmers are forced TO
sell their cotton at the prevailing low
price they will be compelled to give
away the product of their Whole years
labor without profit.
What should Southern farmers do:
That is a momentous question. This
paper has printed in full the resolu-

WIDOW OWNS One
THIRD OF TOWN
Court Rules Sheriff Had No
Right to Sell Her Dover
Rights

GEORGETOWN. Del. Sept S.--Be-
cause the town Of Gumboro is To-
Gated mostly on land formerly be-
longing to David Gunby, Mrs Laura
c. Gunby. his widow, will take one
third of each lot Of land in the town,
according to a decision given in
Georgetown by the Orphans Court.
Forty years ago the land of Gunby
was sold by the Sheriff, and the town
of Gumboro was started on the tract,
streets laid out, lots sold and houses
and stores built. Since then the
town has prospered and become a
busy country village. Last year
Gunby died and his widow came for
ward, claiming that although the land
had been sold, she had never waived
her dover rights and they were now
coming to her.
Suit was brought and the court de-
cided that Mrs. Gunby is entitled 70
one-third Of all the land formerly be-
longing to David Gunby and sold by
the Sheriff.
The decision is far reaching, and
should Mrs. Gunby be so disposed. she
could compel the business men and
residents of Gumboro to cut off one
third of their property for her. Il
is very probable that arrangements
will be made for a cash consideration
instead OF the division of the land ;
but the property owners I'm Gumboro
will be compelled to pay one-third
more on their land after they thought
they held title to the property.
