HARRINGTON


There is an underlying antagonistic
sentiment existing among a few citizens
of Harrington, against Law and order
and this crops out occasionally ID the po-
lice courts. When the trouble is brought
home to those who are assuming this at
titude, they quickly reverse themselves
and are ardent advocates of peace and
good order generally When their own
comfort, or the comfort of their families
1 is touched, then their demand for pun
ishment of offenders runs rampant It
! all depends upon whose OK is gored -
! in their cases. For several weeks there
! has been persistent and hagrant viola
| ton of the liquor laws in and about Har-
rington, BY not only a rowdy element,
but BY some of those who can not be
classed as willful lawbreakeps This has
tgrown so much into habit, that the rowdy
element has become bold and last Sat
urday night the police were able to make
arrests and secure evidence for cOnvic-
tion against the peace and good order of
the town. The offenders added to their
trouble by resisting the officer making !
the arrest, and when they were arraigued !
before the alderman, and lined S, they (
committed another Offense BY swearing (
and refusing to pay their 6ne. The AL I
derman then promptly imposed addi- I
tioual fines amounting to SIS, and the
guilty men promptly paid and saved
themselves from being sent 70 Dover Jail.
The habit OF driving to Maryland and
bringing back gallons of liquor which
prevails with the disorderly element. is
the cause of most Of this disorder Har-
rington is not alone IL this for there Is
regular traffic whicd come from Milford
two and three times each week, and this
liquor line of travel IS run mostly by two
men, who stop in Harrington to supply n
the demand for their rot-gUt liquO- az
s. per quart. II the Deputy Attorney
General desires to have the laws enforced.
here Is a chance for him to send d-tec-
tives and land both the Harrington and I
Milford liquor dealers behind the bars at
the Workhouse.
