Ocean City Fishermen Com
plain OF Railroad.

The fishermen az Ocean City have
been trying Tor the last two wears 70
secure refrigerator car service for their
business. One Of them said. We
have had much difficulty in even get
ting courteous reports from the y. G. q
A. Officials in reference to this service,
but We did make an appeal to the Penn
sylvania Railroad officials. and We have
secured the refrigerator car service
which went into effect June LIST. After
these cars were placed on the siding at
the ice plant at Ocean City. the Rail-
road Company claimed that they could
not move them except by regular freight
service. which means twenty-four hours
after the cars have been placed on the
siding. and also can't place the freight
cars or the refrigerator cars al the
packing place so the fish can be loaded.
We are therefore compelled to haul our
fish and load them out Of the wagon into
the car. or else be compelled 70 ship by
express altogether. as the Railroad
Company claims that this packing place
is absolutely for express only.
The fishermen have made an appeal
to the Public Service Commission and
hope they will get justice there
We had freight rate early in the
spring from which they allowed US 2oc
off for ice. but after we secured the
refrigerator cars. they thought We
would ship by freight and took that al.
lowance OFT. and are charging US gross
rate. We also had an express rate Of
81 02s to New York, but after securing
the refrigerator car service they raised
it 2lbc more which costs US now s. p
per barrel and to all other points equal.
1t looks like the Railroad Company and
Express Company are working together
and trying to do all they can to drive
the people out Of business who are in
terested in fishing

GOVERNOR WILL
ISSUE WRITS?
Inclined to Order Senatorial EleC.
ton This Year. Awaiting
His Decision

While Governor Phillips Lee Colds
borough has made no public announce
ment Of his position respecting the nom
ination Of candidates and election OF a
Senator for a short term in the United
States Senate, il is generally under
stood in the political circles that he in
clines to the belief that it is his duty
under the law to issue writs for nominal
tions and election this year Both Re
publican and Democratic politicians are
proceeding on the theory that this will
be the Governors ruling. He is eX-
pected to issue statement in which he
will announce his decision and give
reasons for his conclusions.
In reaching his decision il is said that
Governor Goldsborough has placed
great stress on the opinion OF Attorney
General Edgar Allan Poe, not only be-
cause of the soundness Of its legal
aspect as it appears to him. but also be-
cause of the relations which the Attor-
ney General occupies in the administra-
tion of the States affairs As is we'll
known. the opinion of the Attorney
General to the Governor or to any
State official has the full effect Of law
until that opinion shall have been upset
by the courts. If. therefore. any inter-
ested citizen takes exception to Mr..
Poe's opinion it will be his privilege. if
he cares to exercise it, to appeal to the
courts The necessary step would be TO
apply for an injunction to restrain the
Election Supervisors of Baltimore or
one OF the counties from placing the
names Of the candidates on the ballots
at the primaries, This injunction could
be argued first before the lower and
then before the Court Of Appeals. and
a final opinion from the latter obtained
to guide the Supervisors. the case thus
decided to be test one for the board
in the city and in all the counties.

Peninsula Editors 10 Boom
the Peninsula

One Of the Editors of the Democratic
Messenger expects to attend the dinner
TO be given by the Delmaryia Peninsula
Editors at the Hotel DUPONT. Wilmington.
next Monday night by the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce. The object Of
this dinner is to bring together the Edit
ors Of Delaware and the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and Virginia with the view
of getting them to work in accord for
the advancement of the Peninsula.
The Chamber of Commerce wants it de-
stinctly understood that the object is
not to boost Wilmington alone, but the
entire Peninsula and says:
"Our Peninsula is within five hundred
miles of one-half the population of the
United States. This population COM
prises a people with a greater purchas-
ing power than any like number of peo-
Pile in the world. therefore, it affords
the best market in the world for the
market gardener. The lands Of the Pc
ninsula will raise abundantly and with
unequaled flavor all the products of the
temperate zone. We wish TO use the
dinner to exploit these facts and others
to the world.
investigations in the progress and
completed go to demonstrate that the
irrigated lands of the west have no SUI
periority in the productivity over the
lands of the east where the rain fall
makes expensive irrigation plants nee
essary. The unsurpassed markets
quickly available 10 this Peninsula, the
felicites of our climate and environment.
and the responsive nature of the soil is
sure in the near future to turn settlers
in our direction.
BESIDES this we have number Of
other considerations more local in their
nature which it will be well worth our
while to talk about with the end in view
Of cooperation. These are the questions
Of better railway facilities. roads rec
lamation and drainage. any Of which
would justify the coming Of the people
of the Peninsula together to work for
common purpose.
