HARRISON.

Among the many automobilists out or
Sunday, were a party of well-knowr
Harbesonians enroute to Rehoboth, tax
| ing in the local scenery on the way
whose machine began to first slow up
very perceptibly in its pace and finally
stop, about two miles from Nassau, de-
spite the noble efforts of the owner to
keep it going. After a thorough search
of the intricate mechanism failed to re-
veal any trouble, it occurred to them to
examine the gasoline tank an Lo, it was
almost as dry as the Desert of Sahara
however the unwritten law or courtesy,
governing first aid to the injured among
auto owners was invoked, and the first
machine that came along ran to Nassau
and secured a supply of gasoline, thus
enabling our people to continue on their
way.
The people of Harbeson and vicinity
were given another opportunity to see
the start of a fox chase on Tuesday
through the courtesy of George T. Bryan
of Overlook, who turned "Reynard" "
loose near the depot at 80 a. m; how
ever we were not given~but short time
to observe him, as he evidently knew
what was to follow, and left us for home
at rapid pace.
The revival fever at Milton. together
with BILLY" Sundays great success in
Philadelphia has spread to Harbeson,
and it is now proposed to hold a series
of meetings at the church beginning
Sunday evening, 21st, in which the we'll
known evangelist, John Clarke of Del
mar, will assist. 1t is hoped the results
will be very gratifying and of permanent
good to the church and community.

SURELY the Legislature of Delaware
will be fair enough to permit the men OF
Delaware to vote as to whether the women
70 this State shall be permitted to vote at
all elections. There can be no harm come
from that act. If the majority of men
want women to vote, then they should be
permitted to do SO, and the Constitution
should be amended so that they may vote.
Be fair and let everybody have a chance
to express themselves on this subject at
the polls.

THE Republican majority in the Della
ware will be held responsible for enact
ing or failing to enact laws which will
meet the promises made to rhe people
last fall, and it is certainly a clear case
to answer to. With the Governor, a
majority of the Senate and the House,
it is up to the Republican party to enact
all laws of a partisan character which
will carry into effect the principles they
stand for. The party was pledged to a
change in the methods of collecting
taxes, to the improvement of the bust
ness methods of the levy courts, to the
question of drainage of lowlands and for
better public roads. 1t is not expected
that the OPPOSITION will be pleased with
what they Persistently opposed, but is a
respon bility which, we believe,
the Republican majority in the legisla-
ture will not shirk, and the Governor
not dodge, and for that reason we expect
to see radical changes in county govern
ment before the sixteenth of March.

Mr.. Atkins did not know what to do in

to the Milton station at the time stated,

This is supposed to have been done by
one of Mr. Taylor's whilom friends for a

The measles are now epidemic in Mil
ton. Judging from the information giver
us by a doctor last Friday, we should con.
clude there have been, and are, over one
hundred cases in town. They are of z
mild form, and no fatal cases have de.
veloped. The School Board will meet
this evening to decide on closing the
school. This is another case of locking
the stable after the horse is stolen. From
the number of cases there have been in
Milton, it would appear that most of the
juvenile fraternity have had the measles.
The schools should have been closed two
weeks ago.
On Tuesday morning a seven room
two-story building belonging to Levi

was burned to the ground. The build

wife and two small children; and with
this help it was impossible to save any
thing It is said there were $500 90 worth
of goods in the house, on which there
was no insurance. There was an insur

WITH the roads almost impossible in
the two lower counties of Delaware we
find the same old objectors shutting their
eyes to facts, and denouncing any and all
efforts to have any effort made to bring
about better condition of affairs. 1t is
as true as the Bookof LUX e, that good roads
can not be built out of the materials at
hand by the roadside in Kent and Sus-
sex counties. Both parties have pledged
the people as being favorable to having
better roads, and yet there is no serious
effort made in any direction to even
bring about a condition whereby any
progress may come for the betterment of
the public highways of lower Delaware.
Why not take the bull by the horns, and
create Department of Public Highways,
with one engineer for the entire State?
Why not have the roads taken out of the
hands of the Levy Courts. and place
them into the hands of a competent de-
partment, non-partisan, with fall power
to build along lines which are known to
be practical and economical The peo-
pie of Kent and especially of Sussex
county believed that the men they sent
to the legislature would act upon real
live interests such as the highways. the
methods of taxation, the methods of as
sessment, and on the collection of taxes, |
and if they fail to accomplish even part
of this work, then the independent or
progressive vote of these counties may
possibly resume large proportions at the
next election hefd to select members of
the future legislature. With several real
live questions which have been discussed |
for many months previous to the meet
ing of the legislature, it will be the
height of political mismanagement to
fail in giving consideration of the desires
of the people at large. Good drainage
will help the roads, aud we can not get
drainage without a proper system of
drainage, with drainage canals and bitches
to carry off the surplus wstsr. Then
why not have something started that
will bring this about2 Let every man,
woman and child have a say on these
matters to the man who represents them
in the legislature, and the results will be
surprising. The average legislator is not
acquainted with the needs of the State or
the county. and probably has not had the
means of finding out what should be
done, but his people can tell him what
they want him to do, justasthey did about
he hunting license; and it was repealed.
4 good roads are to come, it will be a
ong time in the future, if TIE legislature
s left to originate the form and methods
# carrying the idea into effect; that's
