Wilmington TO Have Many
More New Homes This Year

With the advent OF genuine spring
weather. building is on the boom.
Particularly is this SO in the Wash
ington Heights section where at least
twenty-five houses are under course of
erection Ground for as many more
is being broken Every indication
points 10 a big year in Wilmington
for the building trade
The biggest. building work. next to
the DUPONT Hotel project under way
at this time is at the plant OF the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Corpora
tion, where property valued at $240,-
600 is being erected.
Last year the car department office
and drawing room was erected by A.
S. Reed Brothers, contractors, of
this city and an office building, 14O
feet long by As feet wide. and three
stories high. was completed by
Havens and Company. The top floor
of this building is used for a draw
ing room for the ship department,
and the first and second floors are ex-
ecutive Offices.
The old west and east car shops
are being torn down, and replaced by
a modern steel and concrete building.
which will be $50 feet long by $50
feet wide Havens and Company have
charge OF this work, and they are
also extending the mold loft and
punch shed $50 feet. The shed is at
present $50 feet long by Ga feet wide,
and the new addition will make a
splendid building 430 feet long.
Next fall the corporation will build
large addition to the tin and copper
shops. doubling the capacity of the
laying-out shed. Operations are now
under way for the erection of a. new
truck shop, which will be 100 feet
wide, and will be- constructed en-
tirely of steel and concrete.
Washington Heights Development.
Samuel IT. Baynard, is the pioneer
in the Washington Heights section
development Mr.. Baynard is now di-
recting his attention 10 the opening
Of Franklin street-New Franklin
street as Il can be more appropriate
termed. This Is the last street west
Ward running from Eighteenth street
TO Elliott avenue. The tracks of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will pre-
vent any other highway from reach
ing Elliott avenue. Because of this

fact New Franklin street is destined
to become a very important thorough
fare when the former bridge of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad a steel
structure now owned by the Park
Board. shall be converted into a
vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The
bridge will be formally turned over
to the care of the Levy Court
AS New Franklin street will be the
nearest outlet westward from the ad-
ditional bridge. it was realized that
the improvements TO the highway
should be of a permanent and sub
atantial nature. The matter Of
bringing the highway to grade at
Eighteenth street was a difficult prob
lem. This was overcome. however.
by that we'll known essential to sue
cess-hard work
When the Baltimore G. Ohio Rail-
road Company built its new roadway
to take the place of Jessup's road,
1t brought Eighteenth street to grade.
This caused a fill at Franklin street
OF over twenty feet The bed Of the
latter thoroughfare was naturally de-
pressed Just that much. Mr. Baynard
proceeded to make beautiful that
which was discreditable.
Fortunately, the work of building
the addition to the postoffice was un-
der way The excavations being ne
cessarily deep. arrangements we're
made to secure the dirt from that
place to the bed Of Franklin street.
The results were satisfactory in every
way.
Mr.. Baynard. in conjunction with
Frank r. Zebley. then began the con-
struction of seven houses on the west
side of Franklin street from Eigh-
teenth to Nineteenth streets. These
will be followed by the building of
dwellings on the east side of Frank
lin street also from Eighteenth to
Ninteenth streets.
This improvement will not only
have the effect of oblitering the unde-
sirable features, but II will bring the
yards to grade and compel the re-
moval of depressions.
Upon the complexion Of these
dwellings and the development of the
section Immediately adjacent thereto.
there will be no more desirable or

RAPS SOCIALISM

The Ri. Rev. John P. Carroll,
bishop of the diocese of Helena,
Mont, gave out another warning
against Socialism before leaving
for his home in the West.
"The church would warn the
1aboring man against the false
pretenses of Socialism," he said.
''She would again restate the old
doctrine of the dependence. of
men upon one another, OF their in
CAPABILITIES reduced to harmony by
mutual cooperation.

omically unsound. 1t destroys

Gated by the state? Where would

Capital is stored labor, and
every laborer who saves his earn

the laborer all possibility of be-

Pursuant to notice an audi
ence of farmers collected in the
court hou:e last Saturday,
| October 26th. to hear an address
by Hon. c. H Carpenter on
the subject, the Staple Cotton
Growers Association. Mr.. Car
penter is the champion long
staple cotton raiser of the up
country. His facts aud figures
are obtained from experience.
There was no guess work.
He began at the natural and
logical foundation Of success in
the enterprise which is the
selection Of seed. This is the
plan by Which the sea island
cotton has been kept up to such
a high standard. 1t is by
choosing seed from the best
product Of the best variety of
seed each year. This variety of
cotton has been known to sell
from sixty to eighty cents a
pound while the haphazard, go
lucky, ordinary cotton was sell
ing at ten cents per pound.
The great difference in price is
made by the bestowal of care
and attention on the long staple
while the short staple has moth
ing put on it but hoodwinked
labor. He explained how each
sixteenth of an inch in the
length of the staple added two
cents to the market value of
each pound. The difference
was illustrated by locks of cot
ton taken from the boil in the
presence of the audience, comb
ed and measured so that all
could see. He exhibited bills
by which it vas shown that the
upland long staple brought
twenty-four cents per pound on
the market while the other was
selling at eleven. The latter
had cost as much in land. labor
and fertilizer to produce. The
difference represents the tre-
mendous waste Of time, labor
and money that could be saved
by making the most of the
advantages right in easy reach.
Mr.. Carpenter stated thai no
country could claim q monopoly
of advantages in raising cotton
and yet almost every section
had some peculiar advantage.
There could be no such thing as
a best cotton. A company OF
men might be together inspect
ing a dozen different fields, and
each would select a different

Interest Growing in Staple Cotton

one. because each. representing
a different industry, would zinc
the cotton he needed in the tiele
passed over By the others. Tt
each his field was the best. Il
! is the part of wisdom for farm
ers to study their conditions
thei. soils and the demands ot
the market. This is the object
/ of our Cooperative Association.
The Department of Agricul-
ture, through its work, comes
into the possession of facts
bearing directly on these points.
1t recognizes the advantages
that would come to the farmer
bv having this knowledge. 1t
proposes to give it to him.
Whether results follow depends
on his own efforts.
This comes to the farmer like
Mr.. Carpenters lecture, free.
It makes every stroke of the
hoe and every furrow made by
the farmer worth twice as much
to him, both in his home and in
the market. 1t will double the
value of every acre of his land
without raising the assessment
for taxation.
M. Carpenter showed how
the seed from the long staple
cotton would be too valuable to
have the oil crushed out. A
man in Texas had asked him
for LOCO bushels, He could sell
5000 bushels if he had them.
They could easily be sold in car
load lots at Sl.0O per bushel.
And the Cooperative Associa=
ton, in marketing cotton, in
large lots to one buyer, could
make a great saving to each Of
its members.
What a stupendous amount
of wealth the farmers and all
the other trades, throw away
by not using the knowledge and
care that are in such easy reach.
With a soil and climate like
ours, that answers every intelli-
gent demand upon their
resources, our wealth should out
strip that of Southern California.
After hearing with the great
est interest and attention the
address of Mr.. Carpenter, many
in the audience went with him
to a nearby cotton field to be
sho IN the symptoms of a boil
disease. and to be told how to
prevent it, and how to treat it to
avoid its recurrence.
