Rocky Road To MatrimOnY

Middletown, Aug. 10. = A young
couple from Darby, Pa, ran afoul of
Delaware's new marriage law, last
week. They arrived at Middletown for
a visit to a farmer near town, and while
here concluded to get married. As
Justice of the Peace Cox, was away on
his vacation, they were forced to pro-
ceed to Townsend, where they got the
necessary license from Squire Carter,
giving their names as Clarence House
man and Mary Chester of Darby, Pa
After they had left Townsend the
squire, not having issued many licenses
to non-residents, read up on the law
and learned that they had not been in
Delaware the necessary number of
hours. Accordingly he put off post
haste after them and ''lifted' the
license.
The couple were very much put out
and council of war was held. Livery
man L. c.. Scott was called in and
solved their troubles by sending them
to Elkton, Md, in an automobile, where
the nuptial knot was tied. They re-
turned Immediately to the home of Mr..
Baker, whom they were visiting, and
stayed until Sunday evening, when they
left for home.

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS
Proved By Government to be
Rich Investment
PAYS 40 PER CENT. DIVIDEND

The United States Department of
Agriculture has satisfactorily demon
strated that improved roads vastly in
crease the productiveness of areas
through which they run. By actual
experiment, it has been found that
counties where improved roads have
been constructed are now producing
from SO to 100 per centum more than
formerly,
In addition to quantity produced, the
cost Of hauling has naturally decreased;
in other words, farmers in sections that
have fine roads are producing more
cheaply than ever before, for the cost
of transportation to markets. of course
an important factor in the cost of pro-
duction. From this point of view, it
has been estimated that S100, 900 spent
in improving the roads of this county
will save farmers here about SAL 900
annually. A great many people scott
at figures like these; but this is not
theoretical dreaming, but actual facts
that have been found to be absolutely
true. Before roads are improved, it
is estimated that the average cost of
hauling is about 20 cents ton mile.
After improvement takes place, this
cost fails to II cents ton mile, or
saving of cents. In an investment
of $1OO, 900, this saving would mean a
dividend of about 40 per cent. Because
this saving does not take the form of
cash put directly in the farmers pocket,
there has been a disposition not to
take it seriously and to believe that
it is fictitious profit, while as matter
of fact, it is just as real source of
profit as an increase in the price of
wheat
In a county in Virginia, where the
government has been making actual
experiments of this kind, the average
load for two mules on main road was
about l, ZOO pounds before the road was
improved. After improvement, the
load was found to be about 2, 900 pounds,
and the time consumed in hauling the
larger load to marketwas much reduced.
So one man with a wagon and two
mules could do more than twice as
much with an improved road as with
an improved one.
This is the explanation of the ex-
tarordinary rise in the total out put of
agricultural products in counties in this
state that have an efficient road system.

Race Riots at Wilmington

Racial trouble which developed Sun
day night following the shooting of
George Hunter, Jr., negro, by Patrol
man Sharpless eliminated in race riots
in several sections of Wilmington Mon
day night, resulting in three persons
being shot, and a score or more being
injured less seriously by flying bricks
and other missiles. John Hughes, aged
twenty-six, was shot in the head and
side, and Harry Stevens, aged eighteen,
was shot in the stomach. Both are
white, and both seriously injured. So
great has been the disorder in the city
that acting Mayor White, asked that
the Militia be called out, and four local
companies were ordered under arms at
the armory by acting Governor Fer
guson. Their presence had a good
effect and the city was quiet.

COUSIN GALE FRIGHTENED

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT-DEAR SIR
The New Era has never represented the
Democrats of st. Georges Hundred and
most of us look on it as a joke. But l
am a subscriber all the same for its all
we have. In this weeks issue notice
there is something else than Cousin
Gales four line editorial, two column
attack on you as member of the Levy
Court. Didn't know you drew so much
water friend Fouracre., All the same
Pm sure of one thing, that it's mighty
poor Judgment for Cousin Gale to be
telling everybody how badly scared the
party is, that you are going to run
again.
Cousin Gale feels things sure enough
look squally for your Democrat opponent
and that something's got to be done or
the jigs up, so he hashes up two columns
of the stuff the sensational Whining
ton reporters are printing about you
and the road contract.
But the poor old fellow who really
thinks he is editing a Democrat news
paper and striking big licks for the
party is really making fool of him
self, for instead of making the number
of Democrats less who voted for you at
the last election, he is only making
them greater by printing such stuff.
/, for one Democrat can tell him he's
fooling himself and if he could hear the
opinion of many Democrats on his bad
break,>in saying in so many words that
your candidacy is soaring the local De-
mocracy he would keep quiet until after
election.
But perhaps he's to be more pitled
than blamed for he is so anxious to get
some necessary pickings for Caleb that
he's losing his head.
l want to tell him one thing though
a Democrat voted for you at the last
election on grounds of personal friend
ship, and whats more am going to do so
again for the same reason, and also be-
cause of the fine record that you have
made as a member of the Levy Court.
We taxpayers in st. Georges Hun
dred have had for once, the good luck
of seeing our member dead against all
jobs and log-rolling schemes.
In conclusion 1 wish to tell Cousin
Gale that 1 like at least ninety-nine
other Democrats in St. Georges hun
dred who are expressing themselves
freely on this question; think well en-
ough your record to give you our sup
port at the November election.
