GEN. DUPONT TALKS OF
WESTERN SUSSEX ROAD

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
BRIDGEVILLE, Del, June 9.-Gen-
eral T. c. DUPONT last night address,
ed an enthusiastic meeting of resi-
dents of Bridgeville, and vicinity re-
garding the building of the proposed
DUPONT boulevard along the western
side of the county. The meeting was
largely attended. and General DUPONT
came here by invitation of some of the
foremost residents who are anxious
for the boulevard to pass down this
side of the county.
After a general discussion Of the
benefits Of good roads, in which he
cited the excellent highways Of France
as an example, General DUPONT con-
tinued:
"In building roads we make a most
serious mistake, and the money
spent on roads in Sussex county. if
spent properly. would easily have
built one good road across the whole
state AS farmers, before planting
wheat. We plow, harrow, roll, drag
and do what else is necessary to pre-
pare a good seed bed then plant and
raise wheat Suppose we used the
same method for planting wheat that
we do for building roads, and TO be
consistent you ought to.
1T is very much more important
to prepare a good roadbed for a road
than It is to prepare a good seed bed
for wheat. becaus the poor seed bed
only affects one mans crops one yeaI
while the unprepared roadbed effects
all crops and all vehicles for many
years.
"I have been for the past month III
and down all the roads in the eastern
and western part of Delaware, ant

best. that is If the people on this sid
of Delaware do what the eastern sid
has done, and If they do not, I shal

is acceptable will build there.

to insulate the wire; otherwise the
electric energy would be lost. or great
~ impaired. SO. II seems to me, that
shall have to run the wire i'm tubes
underground The expense of doing
this would be large, and | am some
times afraid, that It will be so great as
to be prohibitive'
II will think about that, said Peter
Cooper; and he went away, determined
to find some method. If possible, which
would eliminate the necessity of bury
ing the telegraph wires under ground.
II must have been about this time
that one of Professor Morse's assist
ants, Theodore Vail, suggested to him
that he string the wires upon posts or
poles, showing that this would be a
much cheaper method of carrying
them. For Mr.. Cooper called upon Pro-
fessor Morse one day and said that he
was sure he had thought Of a little de-
vice, very inexpensive, which would
make 1t possible FOR him TO use the
wire overhead. instead of under
ground.
Tnereupon, Mr. Cooper asked Mr.
Morse TO let him have a telegraph
wire. When that was done, Mr.. Cooper
took his cane and attaching to It the
neck of a blass bottle which had been
broken from the bottle. ran the wire
through this bottle neck. saying that
all Professor Morse would have TO dc
to insulate his wires would be to get
bottle necks. attach them TO poles. and
run his wire through these necks, and
in that way he could carry his wire "a
the uttermost limits of the battery's
strength.
It was. in fact. the device accepted
by Professor Morse, obviating the ex-
pensive method of burying the wires
although. instead of having actual bot.
