POLITICAL GOSSIP OF STATE
Kent and Sussex May Have Lively
Bout For Republican Nominations.

Kent and Sussex May Have Lively
Bout For Republican Nominations.
Kent and Sussex counties threat.
en- to give the Republican machine
of Delaware plenty of trouble in the
1912 campaign and election, unless
the machine leaders get busy early
and administer the pacifcation
treatment. United States Senatori-
al aspirations on the part of Gov
ernor S. S. Pennewill and the fact
that Congressman William H. Heald,
the standpatter, is mentioned in con-
nection with a second term will be
largely responsible in case they are
allowed to pursue their ambitions.
In the first place, the insurgency
movement is developing rapidly in
Sussex, for in that county machine
dictation is growing more distaste
full, and in the second place, that
county wants to furnish the con-
gressicnal timber again. In Kent
the situation seems to point to a
row, no matter who is nominated.
Kent is the home county of United
States Senator Harry A. Richard
son, who is said to want another
term in the upper house, and, of
course, his following will frown down
any attempt on the part of the Gov
ernor Pennewill contingent to ele-
vate the Governor to the Senate. In
New Castle county it is the feeling
on the part of the machine heads
that Congressman Heald should be
sent back for another terms that
Kent county should furnish the
gubernatorial nominee and that Sus-
sex county should be allowed to pre-
sent one of her sons for the United
States Senate; namely, Governor
Pennewill. Such a plan is sure not
to snit Sussex and is pretty certain
not to please Kent. Should the lat
ter county accede, the election of g
gubernatorial candidate would pre-
cipitate big fight.

MONEY IN FARMS

Pennsylvania r. r. Exhibit at Recent
Fair Showed Effect of Scientific Work
The display of vegetables shown
by the Delaware Railroad Demon
stration Farm at the New Castle
County Fair proves once more that
an old worn out farm can be made to
pay under careful management. 1t
is less than two years since this
company purchased some land at Ba-
con, Delaware, that was in a SEEM
ingly hopeless state of depletion.
The following varieties of vegeta-
bles from this land held their own
as to quality when shown besid e
those raised on improved farms
Pumpkins, cucumbers, potatoes,
yams, sugar beets, mangle worzel,
peanuts, lima beans, wax beans,
onions, cantaloupes, tomatoes, pep
pers, radishes, eggplants, okra,
waterme Ions, raspberries, corn,
rhubarb, scullions, squash, satisfy,
leeks, alfalfa, pickles, cotton,
peaches, and ripe Strawberries in
pots. The demonstration farm is
really demonstrating that scientific
methods will bring fat crops from
the fertile lands of the Delaware
Maryland-Virginia peninsula nc
matter how barren misuse may have
made them appear.

BIG CORN AT MIDDLETOWN
Growers There Claim to Have Beaten
the Country on Mammoth Ears.

Growers There Claim to Have Beaten
the Country on Mammoth Ears.
Farmers around MiddIetown have
just been seeing what they can do in
the line of big corn raising this
year. For example, Mr.. Horatio
W. Pharo exhibited a fine yellow
ear, we'll grained almost to the tip,
with large round grains, measuring
about 13f inches in length and hav-
ing 20 rows of so grains each, or
something over 1000 grains in all.
Mr.. Joseph Biggs goes Mr.. Pharo
one better with an ear a trife
larger, and better grained clean to
the tip, save room for one or two
more grains, that will she'll probably
a few dozen grains of corn more.
But Mr.. Charles Derrickson wrests
not only the local but the national
palm, according to the officials of the
Philadelphia CornExchange, who have
had sent them from the West the
biggest samples of corn raised in all
parts of the great corn belt in the
States of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas. Mr.. Derrickson showed
in Middletown ears 143 and 161
inches long respectively with % OF
"a rows, and absolutely grained all
over. They have made the Philadel-
phia experts in corn stare. Either
of these two 165 ears probably has
1, 500 or 1,S00 grains on it-maybe
more.

HIGH HEELS AND HOBBIES

Pennsylvania Railroad Learns Causes
of Accidents to its Feminine Patrons
That high heels and hobble skirts
are responsible for a large propor-
tion of the injuries sustained by
women while getting on and off

stairways in stations is the conclu-
sion reached by the Pennsylvania
Railway Claims Department after
an investigation covering three
months in which seventy-three cases
were recorded. The injuries ranged
from slight contusiona to painful

causes set forth are: "Heel caught
on step of coach and tore off. High
heels caught while descending stairs !;

out that the railroad can do nothing
to prevent these casualties because
"women of all times have followed

his own indiscretions in eating while
in Wilmington last Monday after
noon. After luncheon of oysters,
he indulged in ice cream, and fol-
lowed this with a glass of lemon
soda; as a result the big physician
was attacked with nausea and faint
ness while at the corner of Ninth

into the banking house there and in
few minutes nature completed its
revolt against SO fragrant abuse of
the stomach and he soon recovered
his usual good condition.

Mrs. Matte w. Campbell Has Best
Showing She Has Ever Made


There was no concealing the in
terest the women of Smyrna and vi

Opening of Mrs. Matte W. Campbell
last Friday and Saturday. 1t was
by far the best showing she has
ever made. There was nothing
overdone about it. With that air of
culture and refinement that has
always characterized her place, the
display of Fall style hats was ex-
tremely tasty and distinctive. Her
store was crowded at both opening
days and the many compliments Mrs.
Campbell received was highly graft
flying. Particular praise was given
her window display which was un-
usually tasty. A green velvet cur
tam background with heavy drape-
ries of cream lace made a pretty
effect for the stylish pattern hats.
Mrs. Campbell has had painted the
whole front of her store pure white
and this all went to make the open
ing a notable one for the women of
Smyrna and vicinity. Mrs. Camp
bell extends cordial invitation to

Big Sum to Be Expended On

Washington, d. c., July by vir-
tue of recommendation Of Gen. w. H.
Bixby, chief engineer U. S. A., con-
gress will enter upon systematic ira-
provement of tho Missouri river be-
tween Sioux city and Fort Benton.
In his report as submitted to con-
gress today he goes on record in favor
of an expenditure Of from s75,OOO to
$150,O00 for a period Of five years on
the upper Missouri after which these
figures are to be revised and further
improvements made if conditions con-
tinue as favorable as at present.
The money is to be used for snagging
and revetment work, the latter work
to be conducted near the big cities
along the river. General Bixbys report
as submitted sustains Major Edward
Schulz of the u. 8. army who made
an investigation of the Missouri Schulz
had recommended an appropriation of
$150,000 the first year and $4,000
each succeeding year for five years.
He declares in his report that the
ultimate depth attained as a result
of the improvement will be between
seven and eight feet between Sioux
City and Fort Benton and four and five

Washington, d. c., July IA dem
ocratic intra party debate of yesterday,
in which Senators Bailey of Texas and
Williams of Mississippi went back
through the party annals to prove what
they commended to be the true demo-
cratic tariff policy, found an echo in
the opening of the senate debate on the
Canadian reciprocity bill today.
Senator Baileys amendment attach
ing the farmers free list bill to the re-
ciprocity bill with the agricultural pro-
visions eliminated, was pending when
the senate met. Senator McCumber
asked If senator Bailey had explained
the amendment
"The chair understood that the
senator had made few desultory re-
marks upon it yesterday said Vice
President Sherman amid laughter of
the senate.
McCumber said he did not hear any
thing about reciprocity or this amend
ment, but he heard two democrats try
ing to elucidate what constitutes a
good democrat and trying to reconcile
the statement of Robert j. Walker, who
seems, to be a great party prophet.
Senator McCumber declared that the
free list amendment would give the
farmer no substantial benefits for the
losses he would sustain through the
reciprocity bill.
