JUST A few kind WORDS.

I The following letter came to the
! business office of the Milford Chron-
I icle this week, from a gentleman who
is stopping with friends at Houston,

citation of the paper as a local news
supplier in its own way, as follows

IN making comment upon the police
news sent from Seaford and Laurel, and
other points in local option country, the
editorial writer in the Every Evening of
Wilmington makes statements which are
not borne out by the records or in any
other form. He states that the waves of
crime which are noted as having dis
turbed the public peace in the various
places, are entirely new, and that they
never existed when liquor was sold i'll
the sections of the state which are now
under prohibition laws. The man who
wrote that statement is either in his
dotage, or making deliberate statement
to misrepresent the facts. It is true that
there were men and women engaged in
the illegal sale of liquor in lower Della
ware. 1t is equally true that the same
conditions exist in Wilmington and New
Castle county, as the records of the court
at almost each session prove, and the in
mates of the workhouse can testify. It |
is true that the illegal sale of liquor ex-
lists in almost every country; but that is !
no reason why license of its sale, and a
free access to the disturbing source for
creating crime, shall be turned loose
upon the people. If the Every Evening
IAN wipe out crime from its own city and
county, we of Kent and Sussex county
will effectually take care of our own peace
IN comfort, and assist the people of our
'nly city and New Castle county to live
'etter and become better citizens of this
II any other commonwealth. It is for I
over Delaware to conserve the moral
nd political integrity of our State, and /
ave it from the fate of its friends in
Jew Castle county.

No man or woman now living in or
near Misprd, can afford to have the du
Pont boulevard DETECTED from the roate
formerly surveyed, and built on another
route FIVE miles distant. But it is likely
that this very thing will happen unless
effort is at once made to prevent it. For
this purpose a mass meeting of the peo-
pie has been called to meet in Armory
Hall, Milford, tomorrow afternoon, Sat
urday, August 4th, at 230 p. m, and
each citizen should be there to suggest
and aid in getting the right understand
ing of what will have to be done to get
the boulevard finished through Sussex
County by way of Milford. The Houston
route has been almost cleared up, and
but little trouble is anticipated should
that be adopted, and it will take some
hustliug to get the old survey retained.
Charles Cullen, Esq, of Georgetown,
and John Townsend, of Selbyville, are
to be present at the meeting
tomorrow for the purpose of answering
questions and getting information. There |
should be large attendance of those in
terested for the future welfare of Mil
ford and vicinity.

everything connected with them, in taxes,
in system of teaching, in the length of
the school year, and in the building.
The stage coach was good enough for our
grand fathers, but the people of to-day
would not care to do away with the rail
roads and steamboats, of to-day as means
of travel, and the same comparison will
apply to the school conditions. Let the
of the educational short COM
ings go on, and it will bring reform and
in the near future.

On page seven of this paper is a three
column article written by Daniel ]. lay
ton Esq, of Georgetown, on the new
assessment laws and the things necessary
to be done to make it what it was intended
to be, great reform for benefit of all the
people. Mr.. Layton states clearly the
forces which led up to the enactment of
the law, and why it was framed as it is.
We advise a careful reading of this par
ticular communication from him, and we
expect to have several other letters from
Mr.. Layton to publish in the next few
weeks on this and the tax system of Sus-
sex County and the method of getting
taxes paid. Mr.. Layton is a strong adj
vocate of the reforms which have been
asked for in Sussex County, and one of
the best qualified men in the county to
discuss the conditions now existing, and
suggest remedies. We hope that his let
ter published today will start a line of
thought in the minds of the people, which
will be helpful and beneficial to enforce
ment of the laws.

BETWEEN the freedom from a score OF
illegal sellers of liquor with the resultant
disturbances that followed in their wake
and the efforts of the new dog catcher
now on the job, Milford is enjoying an
unaccustomed relief from common nuis-

the police, and the money order depart

THE active concern which the admins
tration is of late displaying over condi-
tions in Mexico is a mere punctuation
mark in the shameful story of "watchful
waiting" The anti-American riots at
Vera Cruz, which caused Commander
McNamee to send in hurry-up call for
reinforcements, are the direct result of a
do-nothing policy at Washington. The
administration has been playing with fire
in Mexico, and the only wonder is that
it has not been severely burned long ago.

London, Dec. 1.-The ultimate stand
of Greece and Roumania toward the
entente powers is a question which
again looms large. Greece, so far as
can be ascertained, has not yet COM
piled with the demands of the entente
powers last note, which, it is under
stood, embraces the concrete PROPOSE
ton that their forces should be. abso-
lutely untrammeled in Greek territory.
In London the fear seems to prevail
that Greece will not acquiesce to the
full in these demands.
Roumania, according to unofficial re-
ports, has declined to accede to pro-
posal from Russia that Russian war
ships be permitted to use the Danube
to move against Bulgaria and has de-
manded that Russia respect her neu-
trality.
In connection with recent reports
that large masses of Russians had
been gathered in Bessarabia for the
Bulgarian campaign the semi official
Overseas News agency says the num-
Der Of Russians has been greatly ex-
aggerated and that in addition they
are nearly all recruits.

of Prizrend by the Bulgarians the lat
est Austro-Hungarian communication
merely says the Bulgarians are zap
proaching' the Serb city. The exact
situation here is therefore obscure.
Unofficial advices are to the effect
that Monastir has been evacuated and
that it is only a matter of time be-
fore the Bulgarians enter the city.
