To the Levy Courtmen, and es-
pecially to the attention Of the Road
Supervisors of Kent and Sussex
counties generally, we point out the
practice that many farmers have
been guilty or for several years, in
blowing out into the public road,
and dragging cultivators and harrows
into the driveway of such roads,
where the surface is scared and
Jumps Of dirt are left to spoil the
road. This condition applies gen
orally, and last week the Index of
Dover, commented on it as follows:
1--WE hear the usual complaint
that farmers are blowing out into
the public roads, and thereby not
only injuring the roads, but filling
up the side drains. For every such
offence the offender is liable to a
fine OF $40, and it is the special
duty of the supervisors and the
general duty Of all good citizens to
enforce this law. We can never
have good roads so long as such
careless and foolish farmers destroy
the roads and prevent the greatest
aid to good roads-proper drain

IT seems almost impossible tC
believe that any man or set of men
would deliberately appear in re-
monstrance against the building Oi
a modern improved public road by
the county-and especially when
that road is one which IS in front Of
their property; but this is exactly
what happened in the effort to de-
feat the petitioners prayer to the
Kent County Levy Court, that the
State road leading from Milford to
Frederick be designated as the six
miles to be built in the Tenth Rep
resentative District during 1918.
The workings Of a mans mind are
certainly curious as to results for
the best interests of all, but how it
can be made to evolve an idea so
diametrically opposed to the well
known advantages to be derived
through good road, would indi
cate that such people are deficient
mentally, or so narrow-minded as
to be Of little use to the community
at large. The Levy Court certainly
will not heed them.

MOTHERS DAY PROCLAMATION.

The progress Of the times is continually giving
rise to new thoughts and new ideas. Influences OF
this character which encourage people 70 ,Worh
for higher ideals tend to increase the usefulness
promote the happiness and develp the best that IS
in the human race.
The strength of a nation is measured by tne
character OF its women and it is no idle sentiment
for people to encourage in every possible manner
respect and admiration for true womanhood;
The movement having for its object the oDserV-
ance of Mothers Day which has been spreading
with great rapidity throughout the civilized world
has resulted in the setting apart special day
upon which each individual is asked TO perform
some act in celebration and commemOration Of the
mothers of the land.
!. Charles r. Miller Governor of the State OF
Delaware, do hereby designate that
Sunday the Eleventh day of May, A. D. 1913

There are thirteen Child enmi's'

sle and ~ie1e they live, as follows:
/. Doctors who don't report their

2. Dirty milkmen.

4. Tubercular cows.
S. Persons who conceal contagious
diseases.
s. Hokey-pokey men.

-. Parsimonious taxpayers who
place the boarding of money above
measures for the protection Of child
life.
13. Mothers who needlessly de-
prive their babies Of mothers milk.
"Tbis list is worthy of study, par
ticularly since many OF the enemies
named are not only Of the child but
equally of the adult, and they are en-
emies against which all society
should do battle" said DR.. Powers.

LOVE WINS OVER VOWS.
Priest Places Love for Woman Above
ChurchIy Duties.

Love won in a long bout with a
priests VOW of celibacy when the
Rev. Father Daniel ]. Gallagher. as
sistant rector of the Cathedral Of the
ASSUMPTION, in Louisville, KY, and
Miss Florence Layer, pretty train
ed nurse of the same city, were unit
ed in marriage in st. Louis by tie
rector of an Episcopal :hurra. For
two years the priest was torn ny a
c. rfict with his breast, weighing
his churchly duties and Lis vows OF
celibacy against his love for Wo-
man. The love for the woman won
and they are now in Seattle, where
they expect to make their future
home.
Father Gallagher had been con-
nected with the Cathedral OF the AS
sumption in Louisville for about six
years. Two years ago he first met
Miss Layer when she was persuaded
to embrace Catholicism. The young
woman went to Father Gallagher for
instruction. Their acquaintance be-
came friendship. then rove. Father
Gallagher fought his battle alone.
Two days before Christmas ne made
his first call at the Layer home, de-
clared his love. gave Miss Layer an
enga agement ring and departed.
Miss Layer admitted she loved the
priest, but was devout in her adopt
ed faith. She did not want him to
make the sacrifice. for she knew that
he would have to give up his church.
She consented. however. after being
told by Father Gallagher that he had
already gone so far that he could no
longer be assistant rector at the
cathedral whether she married him
or not.
Miss Layer and her iover then LETT
for St. Louis, where they were unit
ed in marriage by 4 clergyman OF
the Protestant Episconal church.
Mrs. Layer was one OF the witnesses
of the ceremony. and declares that
her daughter and the former priest
decIsre thev are satisfied they have
chosen wisely and that they will be
happy.

TT LOOKS THAT WAY.
Baseball is Dying Out in South Car
olina.

A letter from Columbia says worse
than the plight Of the MAN With
out a Country" may be the fate Of
South Carolina for unless some quick
and effective action is taken in Co
lumbia it will be state without base
ball. If Columbia withdraws from
the South Atlantic League, as seems
likely, the last South Carolina cit!
to be represented in professional
baseball will have fallen by the way
side and there will be none left.
This will give this state the IN,
evitable honor Of being the only state
in the Southern states certainly, ano
perhaps over a wider territory with
out baseball. This has been Soutt
Carolina's most immemorial baseball!
year. If Columbia goes under fou!
cities in this state will nave given W
the diamond ghost in the past twelve
months. Spartanburg, Greenville anc
Anderson has been retired from the
Carolina Association and the circui'
organization, including Charlotte
Greensboro, Winston-Salem. Ashe-
Vile, Raleigh and Durham.
Many South Carolina towns have
enjoyed professional baseball IN the
past. Charleston suffered from the
misfortune Of poor management
They had men who knew baseball
we'll, but how to spend money better,
and the sport proved costly one foI
the T. omoters. The big seashore
burg dropped out in 1909 and the
franchise was transferred to kncx'
Vile. They came back in 1911, but
dropped out again wnen hurricane
carried the movable part Of the park
away.
Before there was q South Atlantic
League a South Carolina State Lea
que thrived with Camden, Sumter.
Orangeburg, Darlington, Georgetown.
and Manning. In this season Man
ming established the wonderful rec
ord of losing its first rs games. But
II stuck and finished the season, last
but game. This league developed
some stars, including Ralph McLau-
rim, Cad Coles, Guy Gunter, Sid
Smith, George suggs, Sam Richard
SON, Lefty Cowell, Lamar Ham, Bill
Lindsay, and numper OF others.
Later there was a state league with
Chester, Rock Hill, Sumter and Or
angeburg, and still later Spartanburg
and Greenyille, with Anderson kicked
in.
One by one and in twos these
towns have given up baseball for va
rious reasons. In most Of the small
er towns the jumps were too long
and the drawing population too small
to make it go. Spartanburg. Ander-
son and Greenville were leg1siated
out of the game. The lve-year agree
ment under which the six teams OF
the circuit had started and continued
without a break had expired on the
North Carolina cities made 1t an all
state affair. Columbia Is left stand
ing alone and after the January
meeting Of the South Atlantic League
she may leave the neid utterly de-
serted. Insofar as baseball Is con-
cerned there everything is in a state
of confusion.

An UNSUCCESSFUL FARMER.
Hs Made Money But it Did Not Do
Him Much Good.

Tho Progressive Farmer says 1t
once had q letter from our friend,
Capt. J. c. stribling, Of South Caro-
lima, in which he told us about a
money-making farmer he knew. This
farmer had accumulated more than
100000 and he had made it all
farming and saving what he made
from the farm.
Tho man had not done better
farming than other farmers about
him, but he had saved everything he
made. "a good friend to me and
Others" Capt. Stribling described
him, but an enemy to himself and
family" Not that he was bad man,
but merely what we sometimes call a
"close" man. His children received
but littl, education and saw but l,'-
tie Of the world. Other farmers in
the neighborhood contributed to The
building Of churches and school
houses: this man loaned them tie
rooney to contribute. others spent
money for new seeds, improved i'm
Elements and better stock; this man
d,c not; he saved his money ana
when misfortune came to others he
still gathered in the interest on lis
loans and kept that, too.
A money-making farmer he WAS.
but he was not a successful farmer,
for the simple reason that he neg
lected the essentials Of life in his
eage7ness to gather more money.
Such farmers would never build ur a
community or promote the prosperity
and welfare of a State. Capt. Strio-
ling in his letter we'll described the
kind Of men who must be depended
on to do these things-men who i'm
prove their land and premises;
breed and use good stock; look out
for improved seeds, implements and
methods; who send their sons and
daughters to colleges or training
schools; who farm with their own
money, and who believe in plain liv-
ing and high thinking.
A man can be successful without
making a great deal Of money; he
can make a great deal OF money
without being successful. So at this
beginning Of new year we beg to re-
mind every reader that, desirable as
it is that he make money out Of his
farming the coming year, 1t Is even
more desirable that No devote the
money he makes to such use as Will
benefit his family and his community,
and that he keep always in mind the
fact that money is good thing only
80 far as it Is used for good pur-
poses.
