John w. Brown Has Been Agreed Up
on as Appointee, it is Announced.
John Wilmer Brown, aged 60
years, merchant, will be appointed
postmaster of Newark this week to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
some months ago of Delaware Clark.
This statement was made Saturday
night. The selection of an ap-
pointee, it is said, was left to Dam
iel Thompson member of the Levy
Court and Samuel ]. Wright, mem
ber of the Republican State Com
mittee, both of Newark. They
agreed upon Brown, it is stated.
The recommendation will be receiv-
ed by Senator DUPONT and Repre-
sentative-at-large Heald, in Wash
ingtou this week. They will make
the appointment. Senator Richard
son will concur. The name will
accordingly be presented to the
President soon after Congress meets.
The Office pays So, 900 per year. The
selection of Brown follows the re-
Jection of Robert L. Armstrong for
the position. Armstrong was ap-
pointed last August. In celebrating
his appointment he is charged with
having aroused the residents Of
Glasgow, small town near New
ark, late at night. The appoint
ment was held up in the Senate on
this account. Armstrong is clerk
in the Office of Clerk of the Peace
Brown in Wilmington. Mr.. Brown
has been storekeeper in Newark
for twenty-six years. He was,
until several years ago, an active
Republican. He never held any
Office previously. Cantwell Clark,
son Of the late postmaster, has been
acting postmaster in the interim.

Wife Beater Raves in Jail

Lawrence Singer, the young
German from TemplevilIe, Md, who
was whipped by sentence of the
court last week after being convict
ed of wife beating is giving violent
performances in the Centreville iail.
One day last week he became so
unruly that it was with difficulty
that he was handcuffed to the bars
of his cell. The next day he again
caused trouble, and was removed to
Che upper tier Of the Jail. He de-
molished every window pane and he
is keeping virtally all the residents
in the part of the town in which
the jail is located awake at nights
by his yells and fierce on sIaughts on
the big bars. He has torn a cast
iron stove to pieces and knocked
several bushels of plaster from the
ceiling beneath him on the heads of
other. prisoners. On one of the
walls in his cell the man had beaten
the plaster to form two huge crosses.

MIODLETOWN HAS QUEER SCENE
Saturday Night Affair Among Some
Negroes Has an Element of Mystery

Saturday Night Affair Among Some
Negroes Has an Element of Mystery
On recent Saturday night queer
scene was enacted on Main street.
Middletown. A colored man was seen
supporting a woman who seemed
either sick or fainting. For some
reason or other a number of other
colored men set upon him and were
about to beat him up, when Mr..
Arthur R. Swain happened along
and drove the woman's assailants
off. "Why that woman ought to
have the doctor" said he to the
man. He started to stand the
woman on her feet when she collaps-
ed in dead faint or fit. "Take
her to doctor" "Get a wagon. -
No sooner said than done and the
woman was lifted up and bodily
placed in the nearest wagon that
happened to be Mr.. Schee Lock
woods. What has gone before reads
somet5i y like tragedy. Whether
-SGsn was his sister as he de-
clared, or whether it was case of
the ''green eyed monster" and a
struggle for the affections of some
sable Juno, who can say? But if
it were a tragic scene it promptly
merged into the comic. On the
bottom of the wagon were several
blankets upon which the unconscious
woman was deposited. But it
ehanced that underneath those
blankets, were a couple of white
boys asleep and when the living
burden was placed upon their
stomachs their peaceful dreams turn
ed to night mare; and the startled
manner in which they upraised and
rolled the still "dead' woman off
was funny enough. The end of this
knowing tale" is still a mystery
whether it was a case of love lorn
maiden and "could be happy with
either charmer if t'other were
away'-or merely a plain case of
stomach ache, will perhaps never be
known. They do say, though, that a
doctor was found and that the lads
took "fresh holt'' on their snooze
under the blankets.

John B. Hanna, Republican, of
Maryland, was selected by President
Taft Friday to be collector of in
ternal revenue for district compris-
ing Maryland, Delaware and Wash
ington. Mr.. Hanna succeeds Philip
Lee Goldsborough, recently elected
Governor of Maryland. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Hanna is a "shrow-
down" for the Delaware delegation
in Congress. Senator DUPONT and
Congressman Heald on Monday call
ed on President Taft and urged the
appointment of Delawarean as
collector of revenue. They pointed
out that a Delawarean has never
had the appointment, although Della
ware is part of the district and
that Delaware has two Republican
Senators and a Representative in
Congress, while Maryland has a
Democratic representation in Con-
gress. While the Delaware delega-
tion did not urge anybody particular
for the place, their preference was
understood to be DR.. L. Heisler Ball
for the appointment.

elected Hiram Johnson by great majority but
adopted last week four notable amendments to
the State Constitution which practically make the
popular revolution complete.
The first amendment provides for the initiative
and referendum; the second provides machinery
for the recall of all officials, including judges;
the third establishes appointive commission
for the regulation of railroads and other public
service corporations; and the fourth provides for

Taft Re-creates the Supreme Court.

r. tucky in 1888, and appointed to the Supreme
Court bench by President Hayes in 1877. Justice
Harlan of the ablest of the Supreme

who said of him: II believe he retires at night

in justice and righteousness He has been out
of harmony with his associates on many import
ant matters in recent years. His recent dissent
ing opinion in the antitrust suit, protesting
against the excessive authority assumed by the
Court, attracted widespread attention
President Taft will probably appoint man of
very different type -Harlan's successor. 1t is
exceedingly unfortunate that one President is to
shape the personnel of the Supreme Court for
other President since Washington has appoint
ed many members of the Supreme Court bench

Ian, President Taft has appointed four-Lurton.
of Tennessee; Hughes, of New York; Van Deven-
ter, of Wyoming; and Lamar, of Georgia Now
he is to appoint fifth Harlan's successor, in
all majority of the Court. That President
Taft in making these appointments is guided only
by the sternest sense of duty, as he sees it, We
thoroughly believe But he is unfortunately not in
sympathy with the progressive movements of the
time, and it but weaken belief in the Su-
preme Courts infallibility when consider that
one President picks the majority of the Court
from men Of his own type of mind and that these
men, once appointed remain in Office for life. The
highest court in the Nation should certainly be
representative.

Hold Cottonseed for Higher Prices

MUCH is being written about the low price
lN OF cotton and with reason, but it should not
be forgotten that the South's cottonseed
aso represent many millions of dollars in value,
ana that cottonseed prices are also ridiculously
low. We have published several articles urging
farmers to hold their seed as we'll as their lint,
anu we hope that the Farmers Union leaders and
al Others interested are repeating this advice
suioughout the South. The following quotation

timents:

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

We read in the papers that the state treasury "has struck Rock Bottom" We also read that as a means to secure funds h e liquor license money will be con- ing in soon. Now the woman hood of the state and nation begs to say few words:
 The information goes forth from hunderds of jail wardens, Keepers of penitentiaries, super. lntendeAts of insane asylums, blind institutes and homes for defective children, that at least 70 per cent are in jails and peni- tentiaries on account of liquor (some say 90 per cent) 60 per cent in insane institutes, a like ratio of the blind and almost the 100 per cent of defective children are caused by the drink
 This being true, it seems to us poor exhibition of statesman ship and political economy to continue the existence of h e liquor evil and thus bring all this extra expense on the sober peo> pie. Why not shut up the gin mills and turn this great army of incumbents loose so that they may be producers of wealth and thus contribute to the support of the state instead of being con- sumerS whose dependence for support is the states revenue,- enhanced of course by a little labor of their own sometimes given in confinement, but whose families are suffering priyations and sorrow and humiliation the world knows not of.

 For the past seven months the elearings of the LittleRo banks total $53, ,O39, 199.50, and to rea"h the slOO,0O0,O00 mark set for the present fiscal year, it will be nec- essary to clear S46, ,961, ,900.50 or ahttle more than $9,0oO,000 per month until the close of the year.
 The difference in the price of cotton will seriously affect the clearings for this month Decem- Der and January it is feared, un- less there is a sharp upturn within the immediate future.
 Last year the clearin9s totaled s9S,OO0, ,000 and it is the desire of Little Rock fnanciers to round out the $100,000,0O0 this year if itis possible,
