EASTERNSHORERO
SELECTED As MODELS
Government Officials Say
Highways Are the Best
They Have Ever Seen
DELAN ARE
MADE THE START

GEORGETOWN. Del. Sept rs
Eastern Shore roads are being ac-
cepted by nationwide experts as
models. A late demonstration Of that
fact was given last week when Assis-
tant Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.
in charge of public road construction,
and Austin Fletcher, consulting engi-
neer of the department and chief
highway engineer for California. took
trip over the roads of the Eastern
Shore.
The party took two days to go over
the highways. Upon returning, both
agreed that the roads traversed were
the finest they had ever seen and
urged that the rest Of the Eastern
Shore be so improved. especially the
lower end OF Delaware, where the
roads are bad except for the twenty
one-mile stretch from Georgetown to
the Maryland line.
Another proof that the Eastern
Shore is on the map when it comes to
road building. is furnished by the
forthcoming tour of the heads OF the
New Jersey department of roads,
which will take place next month.
They will visit the roads under the
direction of Assistant Engineer B. p.
Harrison
Many trips have recently been
taken by out-of-the-State men. Loud
in their praises were the members OF
the Atlantic City board of trade. who
rode over the concrete last week, TAX
ing the trip 10 ocean City.
The Eastern Shore has not COM
pleted its good roads. but in the mat
ter OF another year or so, it will be the
best place for autolsts in the coun-
try. From Wilmington to Dover in
Delaware the cement roads invite COM
parison with those in any State, while
on the western side the roads from
Elkton to Salisbury are wonders OF
concrete construction. In Delaware
again. the the cement road starts at
Georgetown and runs to Berlin. while
the Salisbury road meets it there and
runs to Ocean City.
From Berlin the road again invites
the autoists to run down TO Pocomoke
or Snow Hill. with short stretch OF
twelve miles of gray and gravel when
cement is again reached in virginia.
Delaware has made the start and
has already put down nne cement
roads. except for a stretch OF forty
miles between Dover and Georgetown.
Already ten miles OF this stretch has
been contracted for. so that If Della
are will build cement from Dover TO
Milford. Delaware will join Maryland
in being one of the best roaded States
in the country.
The words Of a Lancaster Pa, au-
tomobilist are worth recording. He
writes: what good roads have done
for the Eastern Shore, he who rides
may see. That the Eastern Shore has
the question of good roads solved IS
indisputable. and while it's beautiful

my own, my native land it's posi-
, tive fact that the average citizen from
Pennsylvania. after riding from Lam
caster to Ocean City, in Maryland,
must suffer a sense Of humiliation"

After. being absent from McNairy
for short time, thought perhaps
the readers of the Independent would
be interested in few facts about the
West.
1t would make my letter too long
to try to tell of all ! have seen on my
trip. As came through Missouri
the peach orchards attracted my at
tention very much, the largest of
which is said to cover about 1900
acres. The peach crop last year was
very great. Cars couldn't be had in
which to ship the fruit. consequently
many thousand bushels went to waste.
While winding our way around
the Ozark mountains, we travelled
along by the side of Spring river for
about so miles. This river is one Of
the beautiful rivers Of America.
Tourists say they never get tired Of
seeing this river, the water Of which
is harnessed to propel much machin-
cry. The river is fed by a spring the
largest in America, and probably in
the world. The spring covers several
acres, and looks like lake. 1t is the
only spring with a bridge over it that
| know of, the water of which is cold
but never freezes.
Just at sunset on May 9 we found
ourselves on top Of the Ozark
mountain, the highest peak of which
is $3.50 feet high. Well, believe me,
there was a good breeze stirring.
What about that family that lives at
Cedar Gap? That is the name of the
place. After spending the night in
Springfield, Mo-, we made a dashing
run through the wheat fields, coal
mines, and oil well districts of Mis-
souri, and Kansas, and arrived in Kan
sas City at 4:30 pm.
II was treat to me to have the
pleasure, while spending the night in
the great city, of being one of 25,-

Sunday. Billy is some preacher. His

ladies' of the city that night, and

Chatauqua

Selmer is to be honored with a
Chautauqua, and it is to be hoped
that the people of Selmer and the
surrounding country will patron
ize it. It will be held in a big
tent June 20, 21 and %.
The morning program each day
will be free to everybody, and ar
rangements are being made to
have distinguished speakers for
each mornings program.
An admission will be charged
for the afternoon and night en-
tertainments. Every entertain
ment will be worth seeing and
hearing. as noted lecturers, ora
tors, singers and actors will be
on the program.
The Chautauqua is not promot-
ed for profit. but after expenses
are paid, the proceeds, much or
little, will be divided among the
four Sunday schools of the town.
Ticket selling is now in prog
ress. and there will be lively
contest between the Reds and
Blues as to which side can sell
the most tickets. The ticket sell
lers will see you. If they fail to
see you, you can secure a season
ticket at reduced price by calling
upon or writing E. E. Gooch, or
w. D. Hagy, at Selmer, who are
Captains Of the opposing ticket
selling squads.

NEW YORK
LETTER

There is a death in New York city
for every three minutes Of every day,
and the births about keep up the same
rate. Terrible crimes are committed
every day, but the police force, one
OF the best in the world, manages to
catch almost every criminal. Their
work is sometimes marvellous. For
instance. that atrocious murder Of the
girl Anna Aumuller by the priest,
Father Schmidt, about three years
ago, for which he was recently
electrocutad. The Cir! was his ssrv-
ant. He had mistreated her, and then
killed her, cut her body up and put it
in sacks and dropped the grewsome
packages separately in the Harlem
river, trusting to the tide to sweep
the evidences Of his guilt from the
sight Of men; and SO it did for
awhile. Part of the body was found,
wrapped in pillow cases, floating on
the New Jersey side of the Hudson
river. The trademark Of the store
where the pillow cases were bought
was still on the cloth, and starting
with that slight clew, Inspector
Faurot Of the New York police de-
tectiyes traced the crime to the door
Of the priest, who confessed.
II | were to start out to write of
the crimes committed here. or even
to mention them, you would have
room for nothing else, but there are q
few which win be interesting to tell
Of. On Christmas last, the daughter
of . Lutheran minister, who had been
missing some days from her home in
the Bronx district Of the city, being
kept prisoner by some bad Italians
not far from her home. was put up
on q barrel and auctioned off for fifty
dollars to white SLAYER. The girl
was discovered almost in dying con-
dition, and the guilty parties sent up
for twenty years in prison.
A mother and her two children, the
Youngest babe of three months
whom she had in a baby carriage,
were going along a street in the
Bronx some time ago. The Oldest
,hild wanted some candy, and the
lother left the carriage and the little
abe for few moments while she
.sent in a store to buy candy. As
they started to walk along. the Older
child said: Mamma. what is the mat,
ter with habyT The little mite was
making no noise, but was gasping fol
breath. The horrifed mother took il
to q drugstore, and there it was
found that some 6end, not fit to be
called human. had poured q strong
chemical. lysol. down its throat, ant
that it was dying. It persisted that
night. The woman was Jewess who
