BOULEVARD MAY NOT BE BUILT
Machinery o. Gen. Dupont in the Vicin-
ity of Georgetown Was Yesterday
Shipped AwaY-Many Obstacles

Machinery used in the construc-
tion of the mile of the DUPONT boule-
ward which has been built near
Georgetown was moved on fiat cars
Monday, and shipped away marking
the probable desertion of the boule-
ward project by General T. c.. du-
Pout, who mas sought for over a
year to present to the state a high
way that would run through the
center of the state from Wilmington
to the Maryland line. Several sep
crate routes were surveyed before
the final route was selected. and
when the work was stopped by the
inability to get a right of way
through Kent county, the grading had
been finished in Sussex. a distance
of about forty miles. The removal
of the machinery yesterday is said to
mark the end of the work, and there
is but little doubt that the road pro-
ject has now been abandoned.
Blocked at almost every turn by
property owners who asked FIVE
times what their land was worth for
a right of way, General du Pont has
steadily lost heart, according to
one of his right hand men. who
states that even with a boulevard
verdict the suit now pending before
the supreme court of the state the
road will probably be abandoned on
account Of the persistent objections
to the work and the hampering of
the project on so many sides. Sus-
sex county, where few good roads
exist, will feel the loss of the road
worse than any other part of the
state, and already the people and
many of the papers are clamoring
for the matter to be brought before
the voters and voted on as a state
decision. There is now every in
dication that the rights of way al
ready given to the boulevard com
pany will be turned back to prop
erty holders along the route and no
further effort made to improve the
road to the state by Colonel du
Pont.

MAY CONTINUE CURB LINE
WORK ON ALL THE STREETS
COUNCIL is PLEASED WITH I'M
PROVEMENT so FAR DONE.
They May Eventually Include Curbs
and Cutters on all Maca dam Streets
of Smyrna - Short Session.

At a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council Friday evening with presi-
dent Reynolds and all present but
Mr.. Lloyd, more discussion was given
to street work. Street Chairman
John P. Hudson reported that owing
to the hot weather and the setba ok
of Waitman D. White in charge of
the work of Strengthening curbs and
laying cutters on Commerce street.
it was deemed advisable to suspend
all operations until the present tor
rid spell was over. Mr.. White came
near suffering a heat prostration
last week and has not been able to
work since. The work so far ac-
complished is highly gratifying to
Council. The curb line and cutters
on the south side of Commerce street
now present one even, unbroken
stretch from Market street to the
new Colonial Hotel. On the north
side of the street the cutters have
been laid from the Four Corners to
below Richard E. Longs. Mr..
White was Just completing the gut
ters in front of W. A. Winford S
store and Clifton & Jones pharmacy,
when forced to abandon the work.
Enough has been done to show Coun-
Gil that it will make a decided i'm
provement to the BUSINESS section
of Commerce street and so favorably
is the plan presented that it is not
unlikely that Council will gradually
order all the macadam streets in
town fixed in the same way. New or
Strengthened curbs and cutters of
vitrified block all over town, it is
cOntended will not only give a fine
finish, but will materially strengthen
and add to the life of the macsdam
road beds. AS Soon as the business
section of Commerce street is COM
plete, workmen will be shifted to
South Main street where a new
pavement will be laid III front of
the Catt's lot and brick pavement
laid from the Gas House over to the
Milldam. Some discussion was given
to request for a street light on
East street, desired by George
Dolly. No action was taken. The
night being hot and uncomfortable
Council did not tarry long. After
allowing bills to the amount of $500,
including a bill of Ben Burton for
impounding and disposing of 25
dogs and after receiving and filing
the monthly report of Alderman
Crow, Council adjourned.

WHEAT YIELD ABOUT TOWNSEND
Thomas Lattomus Leads With a Yield
of 25 Bushels to Acre-Other Crops

Thomas Lattomus Leads With Yield
of 25 Bushels to Acre-Other Crops
Townsend, July II. Several farm
ers in this section have finished
threshing and report that the wheat
crop this year is about equal to the
ordinary yield. George w. Daniels
got an average of 25 bushels off &c
acres. Thomas Lattomus on the
CHM farm got an average of 25
bushels PEE acre. On the Riley farm
which is also owned by Mr.. Latto-
mus, an average of % bushels per
acre wss obtained. John Lattomus
got an average of "a bushels from
80 acres. William c. Money secured
an average of % bushels, and Oliver
Foraker secured an average of %
bushels on his farm. Indications
are that the corn crop in this section
will rot be- as good as in former
years, due mainly to the excessive
rains early in the spring, thus caus-
ing the farmers to be several weeks
late in getting the corn in, and up
20 Wednesday it suffered considera-
bly, from the lack Of rain. White
potato growers say they will have
the biggest yield of years in this
section and that those who put large
acreages in potatoes will get good
results. Truckers around here say
that tomatoes have been literally
burning up. At the same time a
trucker near Middletown sold seven
baskets of fine tomatoes at 81. so per
basket in two days, having picked
this lot from a small patch near his
house.

Heavy Shower Thursday Night and
Showers of Sunday and Last Night.
The long drought which for sew
eral weeks had held this vicinity in
it's grip and was parching up vege-
tation, was broken by the electric
storm which passed over this vicinity
last Thursday. This storm was ac-
companied by heavy dash of rain.
Sunday night it started in to rain
early in the evening and continued in
a gentle shower all night. This
rain, according to farmers, did
thousands and thousands of dollars
worth of good, especially to corn
and tomatoes. To potatoes and
smaller vegetables, the rain was
too late to do much good and a
short crop in many instances have
resulted. The rain of Sunday
was followed again last night and
this morning, breaking the backbone
of the protracted drought and giving
much cheer and hope to farmers
generally.

PEACH CROP DOWN STATE
Most Fruit Experts Think it Will be
More or Less a Failure

Most Fruit Experts Think it Will be
More or Less a Failure
Growers of peaches report that in
raost instances the crop will not be
worth the trouble in handling what
few peaches are on the trees. There
is practically no fruit in this sec
tiOn, but some fine crops. however,
are expected from the state unless
some hard wind storm should blow
them from the trees. The "June
drop" is now over and the peaches
are till clinging to the trees. Med
ford Jones just east of Milford has
as fine an orchard of peaches as a
person would like to look at. Last
season this farmer cleared 81, $50
from his peach crop alone and the
indications are that he will do it
again this year. The farmer on the
old "Bye Farm" which is located
between Milford and Frederick, also
has fne orchard of peaches and
should reap a small fortune from
the sale of the crop. He, also,
had fine crop last year.

FRANK Z. PostleS, Second District.
Big Registration Expected.
Next Saturday is the first regis
tration day preceding the coming
general election. The result of this
registration day will be looked upon
by observers as indicating the in
terest in the election which promises
to be very absorbing and it is be-
lieved that the vote polled will 90
far ahead of any record up to this
time. George W. Cunning is regis
trar of the first district and F. E.
Postles registrar of the second dis
trict of this election district. In
this state the interest in the two
conventions, first with the steam
roller and the fight against Roose-
welt at Chicago and then the drama
tic happenings in nearby Baltimore
has put the interest on edge. In ad-
dition to this fact that no reglstra-
tion fee is demanded will in all
probability add to the ease with
which large numbers are qualified.
II should be easy this year to
qualify the voter and in November
if all signs do not fail it will be
easy to get out the vote.
