charges when they misrepre-

case Of William W. Prettyman, OF

the attention of the Sussex county
court at both sessions yesterday.
Il was alleged that in horse trade
with Foster Shanahan, of Angola.
Prettyman represented his horse to
be 10 years old and sound Shanahan's
horse was S years old He swapped,
taking $50 as boot" Later Shana-
han said he learned his new horse
was more than 20 years old. Suisse
quently Prettyman was arrested. The
jury convicted him and the court fined
him $50 and costs.

WORKING HARD ON
THE ASSESSMENT

Wilmington hundred assessors are
working overtime with Loyy Court
Commissioners Samuel L. Burris and
Charles W. Gooding on the countyNas-
sessment IN the city The four assist
ants to the Levy Court Commission
ers are great help 10 the commission
ers in reaching proper assessment
OF the properties throughout the city.
The task is so great that the COM
missoners will work until IL o'clock
al night to get the work done at the
earliest possible day Appeals will
be heard in March.
IN the country districts some com
plant is heard regard the low assess
ment on marsh land. II was suggest
ed that az the marsh owners rent
same to muskral trappers and others
that il should be taxed accordingly.
The law governing wild animals pre-
vents an assessor from placing a
higher assessment on marsh lands.
The belief also prevails that the
assessment on live stock is too high.
The land Is assessed and the build
ings on the farms assessed and the
third assessment is placed on the live
stock which in some quarters is con-
sidered to be not fair treatment to the
rural people

of the original tuberculosis Com
mission Bill passed in 1909 unani-

lature The present bill Is really an
addition to that bill, enabling the
Commission to take care of colored
consumptives as well as white
If this bill is passed, and there
seems no reason why It should not
be, since consumption cannot be
fought by halves, the Commission
will be able to buy farm for a san
atorium site. II has been considering
farm of "a acres near Guyencourt
Station, with an orchard, and with a
house and barn that could be util-
lied in connection with hospital
shacks. The Guyencourt trains run
several times a day, so that access
to il would be easy. This farm is
suitable for small hospital, and the
Commission has an option on 1t for
the next 30 days In order to use this
farm without legal objection from
neighbors, a sewage system on the
approved septic plan might be nee
essary Although the farm house
could be used as an administration
building, yet 1t would be necessary
to build hospital shacks for the pa
tients, so that the sum of $4,000 is
rather less than will probably be
needed; but it is hoped that the site
at Franklin and Cedar streets can be
sold as soon as the bill is passed.
and this will add enough to make the
amount adequate.
The Commission feels that if the
city of Wilmington is as anxious as i
appears to be to prevent the possibil-
ity of a hospital for colored con
sumptives within the city limits, this
bill should be heartily supported by
the Wilmington representatives. Ol
A..
this bill, the Commission will b'
thrown back upon the Franklin and
Cedar streets site, and the people of
Wilmington in that case will not b'
able to blame anybody but them
selves for having the hospital estab
lshed there. The Commission still
maintains that this city site is a per
fectly satisfactory spot for a tuber
culosis hospital, but it respects tn
prejudices of Wilmington by offerinl

Hammond is up against it." men
said to each other; Fleming? What
nonsensew
But with gentle dignity she told
every one she was very. sorry Mr..
Hammond was so-foolish. Tom had
been trustee of the Hammond es-
tate for neary 20 years. Though, of
course, tits only Mr. Hammond, Amy
corrected herself, carefully just; "the
rest of the family are nice people. His
mother was such an honorable wo-
man. And his wife-I am sorry for
his wife" Amy thought great deal
about his wife. 'She must know
what he is, poor soulp' she said to
herself. And knowing, she could not
respect him And, without respect,
love must have crumbled away.
So, in spite of her deep resentment
at Hammond, Amy felt something
like tenderness for Hammond's wife
losing both respect and love, poor
soul! 49,.
AS the weeks passed before the day
set for the trial, Amy grew percepti-
bly, thinner and whittier. For, beneath
all her certainties the fear of the Law
remained. She brooded over in
instances of goodness suspected, of
innocent men condemned, of the
blunders and mistakes of Justice. It
was not until three or four days be-

have done.

with a quivering smile.

ooh, go on; go onp' she entreated.
Hammond, being fool, and having
this vague idea about the price paid
by Smith for the land, and having Sc
cured the old check to prove las he
thinks) that such a price was paid,
falls into the hands of these sharks.
''They know there is nothing to it,
but they think they can pull out a
plum somehow" said Mr. Bates.
Then carefully he told her the story
point by point. Briefly it was, that
while there was no question that
ST., 400 had been paid to Thomas
Fleming, Hammond could not dis
prove Jennings defense that only
$14, 400 of it was to go to the Trust;
and that the remaining $4,000 was
in payment of Smiths debt to him.
"See?" said Bates, kindly. As he
spoke, the drawn look in her face les
sened, and she drew one or two long
breaths; and then, suddenly, she put
her hands over her eyes, and he knew
she Wept.
PernapS 1t was the rebound from
having gone down to the depths of
fear; but certainly there was almost
bravado in her reaction. She made
up her mind to have the dinner party!
Tom would come home, crowned
with the vindication of his integrity;
and he would find love, and friend
ship, and respect ready to exult with
him. Tom, however, objected to her
project.

frowned. It was evident that the
plan did not please him. But for

friends to dine with them on the

the proceedings troubled her, there
