HANDSOME PEACHES.

From the orchards of Medford Jones
I this past week there has been delivered
some of the largest and handsomesJ
peaches of the Walkers Narlegateo
Variety we ever saw. The History OF
this fruit is of more or less interest to
/ fruit growers. When Colonel Townsend
owned the tract which has been cut in
( to several small fruit farms one mile
East from Milford, there were SIX rows
of this variety of Walkers NarlegateG
freestOne peaces across one slde OF one
of the orchards then growing. The
trees were purchased from William L..
Case. In 1857 of near FELTON,, who was
nurseryman at that time, and he secured
the buds from which they were grown
from "a very old tree on the Reyoo.c
Farm. near Delaware City,in 1883. From
these trees set in the fall of 1857, d. ).
Collins of Milford secured buds about
1898 which We're budded into his nursery
stock, and from this line came the trees
now in the orchard of Medford Jones
and which are producing the handsome
fruit sold in the Milford market this
week. The trees require plenty Of feed
ing with potash and spraying to pro-
duce the best fruit. which is a beauti-
ful creamy white. with a high col0red
pink blush. The peach Is a very free
stone with bright red centre, and the
suggary sweetness. makes the product
of these trees in great demand by the
people Of Milford. They are the last
peaches to ripen of the white variety.
and no painted picture can do them

for eating out of hand

THE Republican party Of Sussex coun-
ty has presented representative ticket
of practical business men as candidates
for the various county offices, and there
is not one of them but what is capable
and equipped to discharge the duties Of
the office to which they aspire, but, in
presenting the name of W. Ellwood
Wright for the position of Clerk-of-the-
Peace, an Office Of the greatest importance
to all the people, they have named one
who by long familiarity with the business
of that Office, and actual experience as a
deputy in that office for the past ten years,
is superlatively equipped to discharge the
duties Of Clerk -of-the-P Peace, and one in
which all the people repose confidence.
If it is true, as many men from time to
time have proclaimed, that capable men
should be chosen regardless Of political
then W. Ellwood Wright
should receive a majority of the votes
cast next November, which will be re-
for its excess over all others.
There is a capable man elect him.

THE Republican State Central Commit
tee has unanimously reelected Major
Edmund Mitchell, of Wilmington, as its
chairman. Major Mitchell is one Of the
best informed politicians in the State

ally wins his battles, unless the odds are

1 THE Progressives assembled at Dover
this week, and solemnly performed what
they possibly believe is their duty in
naming a State ticket and authorizing the
county districts to place such tickets as
they see proper on the official ballots To
the Republican party in Delaware, this
action on the part of the Progressive party
should be very satisfactory, for it will de
velop the strength Of that party, and
effectively show where its power for mis-
chief might be two years hence. If there
is a growing adherence to the Progressive
ideas in Delaware. the people will know
It after the polls close next November
and if that party is but the coruscation Of
a popular idol, then the people Of Della
ware can rest assured that the following
in future elections of that fetish, will have
dwindled to the extent Of being negligible |
in results TO either Of the leading parties I
The candidates on the ticket named are
very respectable gentlemen, but without
experience or ability to lead great politi-
cal reform issues.

THE extra session of the legislature,
which has been called by Governor Miller
to assemble at Dover next Tuesday, will
have duty to perform which few legis-
lative bodies in Delaware ever met. The
constitution Of the State has been revised
three or four times; but to the Revised
Code Commission appointed six years
ago came the great responsibility of ad-
justing the laws Of a half century ago to
meet the present day conditions so far as
it was possible. The action Of the Re.
vised Code Commission has been such as
to arrange the laws into a shape for the
legislature to act upon that they can adopt
or adjust them satisfactory, and then by
first action, adopt the newly rewritten
laws as the Code Of Delaware laws. It
will require several days Of close attention
to 90 over the manuscript, and the ses-
sion will probably extend over a fort
night. Another duty of the Senate will
be to act upon the appointment of Judge
to succeed Judge Wooley, who has been
promoted TO the Y. s. Bench,

THE following is the editorial opinion
of Robert G. Houston, the leader of the
Bull Moose party in Sussex county. as
expressed in his paper, the Sussex Re
publican, last week. Probably no man
in Sussex is better equipped to judge the
merits Of the Democratic nominees, and
he says:
The Democratic ticket can be desig-
mated as weak and wet. of course there
are some notable exceptions. and it is a
pity that the personel of the ticket, gen
orally, is not equal to the few who are
well qualified and look big in comparison
with the others. Now that the election
of an United States Senator is no longer
involved in the selection of members Of
the Legislature, it was to be hoped that
men well qualified to make laws would
be selected, but apparently the wet and
dry question was the only one considered
in the selection of the Democratic nomi-
nees for the Legislature and it has been
clearly demonstrated that the wet element
of the Democratic party is in control.
The mule truly represents the character
istics of the Democratic party. Whenever
that party has an opportunity to win, or
gets into power, it is bound to commit
some asinine act that disgusts the people
and tests the loyalty of its followers"

Two more lives were snuffed out on
the Delaware railroad last Tuesday, when
the southbound Franklin City express ran
down an automobile at State Road, at the
same station where farmer was injured
last week, and one Of the horses attached
to his wagon was killed at State Road
crossing in New Castle county. The
death trap at that crossing must be elm
mated, as well as the deadly crossing at
Wyoming, where Senator Barnard was
recently killed. The Delaware railroad
should either provide safety gates or
eliminate grade crossings along its line.
