PENNSCROVE BAR
TO STAY CLOSED
Judge Waddington RevokeS
License of Only Hotel
in Powder Town.
AGED PROPRIETOR ILL;
MAY TAKE APPEAL

SALEM. n. j.. Nov. 19.-Judgs Wad-
dington has revoked the license OF
Colonel Joseph G. French for his
hotel at Pennsgrove, the bar OF
which has been closed by order Of the
court since October IS.
The decision came after three
days and a nights hearing on the pc
tition of Nathan Trainor and Charles
L. Lane for revocation of the license.
The court said
after consideration OF the evidence
there was only one conclusion that
could be reached. and that was that
Section 10 OF the Bishop act has been
violated and that the court is bound
under the law, to find Joseph G.
French guilty Of violating that sec
ton. The license is therefore. re-
yoked and rendered null and void.
81 regret this action, as the court
has knowledge that Colonel French in
the past has always conducted a we'll
regulated place. but since his Illness
has not been able to have a supervi-
sion and that the officers and man.
agoment probably have not obeyed
the instructions given them The
court cannot consider this. however
but must take the evidence.
81 have reached this decision only
after a careful consideration OF the
evidence. The decision is especially
unfortunate to Mr.. French in his old
age and physical condition"
II is believed that an appeal will
be taken. although no statement was
made by the counsel for Colonel
French.
Tho condition of Colonel French
has been serious. according to the
family physician. for several months
and il is feared the decision may
have fatal effect.
Colonel French has been proprie-
tor of the hotel fOrty-six years. and
his place was known by the travelling
pubic all over the United States as
one Of the best in the East. It was
recently announced that the dupont
Powder Company had offered 100000
for the property in order to close the
bar but this was denied. II is
known that a sale Of the place was
pending. What effect Judge Wad-
dington's action will have is not
SnOwn.
In summing up. counsel for Colonel
French urged that the charges were
brought by persons opposed to liquor
licenses and that the allegations set
forth. those of harbOring drunken and
disorderly persons selling to people
Sisibly under the influence Of liquor
and to minors, had not been proved
s. Rushing Leap, chief counsel for
the petitioners, contended that II only
one of the many charges had been
proved the court was bound under the
law to revoke the license, and ht
held that all the allegations had beer
sustained.

Delaware RICH IN
CORN PRODUCTION
Growers of State Get
$4,5OO,O0O Yearly Out
OF Their Crop
PREPARING FOR
SEAFORD EXHIBIT

Delaware is widely known for her
fruits and vegetables. yet these are
not the most important crops ol The
state. Corn leads IN value all crops,
with wheat second. THE annual corn
crop is valued at s4.500.000. that Of
wheat at $2.0OO,0O0. The average yield
of corn per acre in Delaware is only
little less than that Of the leading
corn belt States Of the middle west.
The average siold per acre OF wheat
is equal TO that OF Illinois and Iowa.
The average price of grain on the
farm in Delaware is, FOL an average
OF ten years, ten cents per hushel
mere than in tha Mississippi Valley.
J The possibilities fer profitable grain
/ production in Delaware are as good
! as in the corn belt States Last year
the largest yield per acre for ten
acre field in Indiana was 10 bushels.
! One Delaware grower harvested l,126
I bushels from = ten-acre tract One
acre Of this Yielded l2S bushels OF
corn. A yield Of 100 bushels per acre
I has been made by Delaware farmers
more than a dozen times during the
/ past five years.
These results have come about
( largely through the introduction of
better methods Of culture. imuroved
/ and selected varieties Of seed. II is
significant that the largest Yields per
! acre received in this State have been
made by men who were active mem
! bers Of tho Delaware Corn Growers
/ Association. The leading corn growers

In General

The governor takes time from the
press of work at the capitol to visit
the State institutions and many OF
the improvements at these institu-
tions have resulted largely from
these visits. The tuberculosis sani-
tarium at the hospital for the insane
is one in which he has taken espec-
ial interest.
II is not possible in a brief space
to mention more than a very limited
part of the duties, the work per-
, formed. and problems to be dealt
/ with by the governor; but if the
record of each days service could be
given, there would be much to indi
cate Governor Trammell's loyalty
and devotion to the interests of the
people of Florida in all matters he
fore him, and ample proofs of his
knowledge of public affairs, his bust
ness ability and sound JUDGMENT in
conducting the affairs of State.
The past two years have demon
strated the fact that the work Of
the present governor is proving emf
nently satisfactory TO the people. The
governor has been ION the job" con-
stantly. He works from eight until
six or seven six days in the week
and many nights ne may be found
in the mansion library working un
til a late hour. Always very busy
ly yet always pleasant and courteous
able and courageous, frank, firm
yet considerate, he holds his popu
larity with the people Of Florida.
