his ability to control most of the
colored voters in the First and Second
districts of Sussex county, and Levy
Court Commissioner John P. Car
mean of the Tenth district of lower

party worker. A few days ago a

NEW OYSTER BEDS DISCOVERED
One Thousand Acres of Fat Delaware
\ Primes Off Leipsic and Bowers

Nearly 1000 acres of new oyster
grounds have been discovered in the
Delaware Bay starting about eight
miles east and southeast of Dover.
This will give opportunity for great
spreading of the State oyster busi-
ness, an opportunity for young oys-
termen, chance for new men in the
business and more boats and more
labor. The Delaware Bay primes as
our oysters are termed, are now as
much in demand as any oysters
grown in this country, not excepting
the Maurice River Cove oysters,
which are held in such high esteem
in Philadelphia and other northern
markets. The Delaware oyster
grounds will now extend from a
point nearly mile above Leipsic
river to several hundred feet south of
Bowers Beach-a fine stretch of the
bay. Along this stretch of oyster
beds, reaching miles out into the
bay but through shallow water, oys-
tering for the planters who lease
their grounds begins on September l
of each year.
