Farmer Airs Himself After
Turnpike is Made
Free

This was nothing more or less than
wet day and yet in the County
Court House corridors the hours were
full of interest. Philip L. Garrett,
attorney for the Levy Court was early
on the scene. He secured the little
pink slip-a check for $4,000 and
started down street to pay the price
of the Concord pike in order that the
highway may be a free road.
Il never was in favor of the Con-
cord pike being a free road" said a
Brandywine hundred granger this
morning. Eve had a splendid road
and while we paid toll the Pennsyl-
vania people paid fully three-fourths
of the money collected at the toll
gates. They had the long haul and
paid the cash for having a good road.
Now it is simply up to the county to
keep up that road. It costs only a
pittance to have good road. If the
county neglects the road there will
be a bigger howl than that heard up
to the present time from those who
paid the toll"
Court officials find that the Janu-
ary term opens on New Years day.

Jury report on another date
The November term of court opens

Editor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Your correspondent, Mr.. Hamilton,
whom | notice Is a constant con-
tributor to your paper. l should judge
was very nice fellow in his way,
but he seems to have rathe a fanci-
full manner of spending other peoples
money. The field is open TO Mr..
Hamilton to speno his own money in
a 30 per cent. reduction in electric
light prices and then forfeit to the
city any excess earnings over tea per
cent Does Mr.. Hamilton believe that
we are entitled to no reward 70 hav-
ing lowered the rates 30 per cent?
Mr.. Hamilton is in the coal busi-
ness, believe. He has a chance in
the coal business to practice this sac
ifce on himself.
Let him reduce the rates on his
coal, which Is being sold at monopo-
listic prices. 30 per cent, and then
still further sacrifice on earnings In
excess Of 10 per cent to the city.
As electricity is made from coal I
will agree to make this sacifice to
the city If Mr.. Hamilton will furnish
me with the coal at 80 per cent re-
duction from present extortionate
prices to do so with.
Yours truly,
