A Rare Old Apple Tree

On the John Adams farm of the Hiatt
section, where Gill Lunce now lives
stands an apple tree which is one hun
dred years old and never fails to bear
a full crop of the best of fruit. This
tree is Of the June variety "a large red
apple and fine eater. but no one knows
the name, as it is quite different from
anything of this day. The tree is a
very large one and last Sunday evening
provided a most comfortable resting
place for ]. NJ. Adams, the Brodhead
merchant who spent several hours UNI

and enjoyed the luscious fruit which
came from il Another fact about this
valuable old tree that il provides in the

Mrs. Lunce, who has in the last two
seasons raised over 200 chickens, and
in the last ten years has furnished a
covering for many hundred fine spring

in a fine state Of preservation-Mt

Only two more weeks from tomor
row until the senatorial primary will be
held To us it looks like Beckham is a
certain winner. As we see il by every
principle Of right and justice he should
he nominated. He not only measures
up fully in every way to the high
standard of the office but has a claim
upon the democracy which no other
candidate has, and that is, that he was
swindlcd out OF the election six years
ago. The |. J. is heart and soul for
peckhar. We have known him person
ally for over ten years and the more
we have seen him and his work the
more our attachment has grown. His
enemies have charged almost every
crime under the sun against him. But
those who really know the man, know
how false have been these accusations.
We know that he IS the cleahes' IVA"
that has been prominent in state poll
tics in a quarter of century. we
know how he has always stood single
minded for the best interests OF the
people. how utterly free he is from
communicating, sinister influences which
so often seek to subtly secure control
of men prominent and high in Official
life. Take our word for it, we know
him personally and well, no democrat
who stand for better things. for clean
err things, for truer men, VIII make
a mistake by voting for Beckham. To
the democrats especially of Lincoln
county who believe in these things, we
would earnestly urge that they vote tor
Beckham on August lst

Beckham Strong in Wayne

A. V. Bertram, OF Wayne, who re-
presented the Wayne Clinton district in
the Legislature two years ago, says that
Gov. Beckham has a runaway race in
his county. He said the Democrats
were united in their support of the ex-
Governor, and that he would receive
20 per cent. OF the vote cast in his
county. He said that the Stanley and
McCreary followers had given up, Mr..
Bertram said he had been in Clinton
and Cumberland counties recently, and
that the same sentiment prevailed there.
He said Gov. Beckham would carry
both counties by an overwhelming ma
iority.

On each receipt on every note or bond
on each telephone call where toll is
paid, the individual must pay tax in
the shape of a stamp affixed. This new
method OF raising revenue for the United
States is the result of the Democratic ad-
ministration efforts to run the Federal
Government. In an effort to change the
tariff so as to meet their inexperienced
ideas as to what should be the policy of
the financial affairs of this country, the
Democratic party has found that they
have made a mistake, and to cover the
deficiency in the United States Treasury
which will approximate one hundred
millions of dollars, this War Tax system,
has been evolved and put into effect
This, while the United States is at peace
with the entire world. Heavy penalties
follow any attempt to evade these taxes,
and the people will have to find out for
themselves where to get the stamps, and
how to use them, as the Administration
Departments at Washington have made |
no attempt to inform the people gener-
ally. The new laws went into effect on
Tuesday, December first, and for the
purpose Of informing all who may ship
anything by freight or express, we then
printed in another part of the Chronicle
brief statement of what has to be done
to comply with the laws. We advise all
to be careful in the observance of the
law, for the penalties will be severe, and
are sure to follow, as provision is made
for inspection ofbooks, and records, which
all public service companies are required
to keep.

WHAT will be the outcome Of tbe IL

WHAT will be the outcome Of the Ii
quor question at the hands of the Legis
lature when it assemblies this winter al
Dover, no man can tell; but it is reason.
ably certain, that there will be some leg
islation to correct the shortcomings Of
the Hazel Law which was suspended by
decision of the judges, and practically a
free rein given to those who desire to
have liquor shipped into Delaware from
another State. It is possible that the
Maryland law which permits one gallon
each month of liquor, and six dozen bot
ties of beer each month, or its equiva-
lent, in kegs, to one individual use, and
provides a system for accounting for each
shipment, etc, will be applied to Della
ware. The Grangers have gone on rec
ord as favoring some anti-liquor legisla-
ton, and they will also take active stand
upon other vital subjects for the better
ing of conditions. In Maryland the law
has stopped illegal selling almost en-
tirely, and now they are the victims of
the open laws of Delaware as to their
border country.
