Lloyd George Home Rule
Scheme In Ireland Just
What Sim Feiners Want
Proposed Parliament for Southern Ireland Will Be
Overwhelmingly Republican First Motion Will
Be for Declaration Of independence From Eng
land-Parading of War Equipment Forestalls
Any Possibility of Revelation.

Ireland. The republicans realize
the futility of combating the Brit
isil military machine in that coun-
try. Lord French's complete, war
equipped army is demonstrating its
might to the people daily, especially
in Dublin, by parading through
Grafton street with armored cars,
tanks and machine guns"
Conservative opinion in England
seems to agree that the new scheme
will never be introduced in Ireland
owing to the irreconcilable attitude
of the Obstetrics, who want Brit
ish domination, and of the Sim
Feinerss who want nothing short of
an independent republic.
Indeed, the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that when the time comes
to introduce the bill, Premier Lloyd
George will suddenly decide the
scheme is unacceptable to either fac
ton and that he will then make Ire
land crown colony.
Hunger Strike Over.
This belief is growing despite the
excellent reception given the pre-
mier's outline of the plan in the
Commons last Monday.
The hunger strikers in Mount Joy
prison have abandoned the strike
following a visit by the lord mayor
of Dublin, who obtained certain
concessions for them.
Richard Spillane, the famous Irish
leader, who has been reported near
death in the south of Ireland, is now
said to be in good health. The peo-
pie had been greatly aroused by re-
ports of his condition and had been
planning a great demonstration at
his funeral.

mile north Of Whitesboro were appar-

at the present depth. and would bring

The we'll is now at a depth slightly
under 900 feet, and is on top of a
sand believed 20 be good for quantity
production Of oil.
Those in position to know say that
it is doubtful if the company would be
satisfied with the present sand If they
believed it would produce under 80
barrels Of oil a day.
The next tweuty-four hours should
determine whether the discovery of a
new oil field in Grayson county has
been brought in. Mr.. Hurdleston talk

evening, and was then en- route to Fort

ing to be on hand when the well was

Our knowledge Of the earth from
actual contact is confined to a thin
layer Of only a few hundred feet. and
what exists deeper down is a subject
for speculation. The idea of exploring
further by a borehole some ten times
as deep as any yet attempted was
again brought up in the late presiden-
tial address Of Sir Charles \. Parsons
to the British association. He proposed
in, 1904 the sinking Of such a shaft TO
a depth Of twelve miles and estimated
that it would require cighty-five years
Of time ana cost $25, 900 ,OOO--an outlay
about equal TO that for one first class
battleShip. Since then Professor T..
d. Adams has concluded that a depth
Of fifteen miles could be reached in
lime stone before the rock would give
trouble by being crushed and in gran
te about thirty miles could be reached.

miles north Of Artesia, had another re-
markable blowout. \ pipe ran from
the casing at right angles and con.
nccted with another pipe leading up

blew this second pipe off the joint,
completely stripping the threads. The
stream then hit a twoinch pipe which
braced the derrick and smashed it to
slivers. The stream Of oil then spout
ed clear over a fence across the street,
fully $50 feet from the well, Pure oil
ran down the street a distance that
paced 1873 yards, and bitches on either
side were full of oil. 1t is estimated
that upwards of 100 barrels of oil were
forced out Of the well by the explo-
sion. The stream continued for a lit
tie more than an hour. The barrels
Of oil had been drawn from the well in

KENT COUNTY LEVY COURT
Discusses Part That Body Is To Take
of Levying and Collecting School
Taxes Under the New Code.

lakes Onoer the New Code,
In discussing the new Delaware
school code and the part the Kent
County Levy Court is compelled to
have in the matter, that of collecting
the money and dispensing the same,
a lively argument took place at the
July meeting of the Kent County
Levy Court in which both Democratic
and Republican members took part,
opposing the code. In view of the un-
certainty of the constitutionality of
the code and not desiring to take any
steps in the matter until some def
mite opinion or decision was given by
the proper authorities, a resolution
was presented and adopted asking
the Courts attorney to report back
to the Court at its August session as
to the legality of the code. Members
of the Court expressed themselves
freely in the matter, stating that they
did not want to be responsible for
levying tax and having that tax COL
lected and then perchance the law
might be declared unconstitutional,
the Court would have to refund the
money as was in the case Of the
Adams Tax Law several years ago.
County Comptroller Grieves appeared
before the Court and reported that
the Kent County Good Roads Bonds
had been sold to Baker, Waller Com
pany, bankers, of Baltimore, Md,
they taking the entire $4,000, being
sold at premium of $436.00. 1t was
ordered that $4,000 be transferred
from the Good Roads Fund to the
General Fund and that sufficient
transfer of funds from the General
Fund should be turned over to the
Court House Fund for settlement of
bills incurred in remodeling the
Court House. 1t was reported that
the furniture for the several offices
had been purchased and would shortly
be placed in the Court House. Com
missioner E. Y. Williams and County
Engineer were instructed to close the
deal with Mr.. Carey for the purchase
of small piece OF road to s-raighten

BOAT BURNED AT LANDING.
Gasoline Tank on Craft "Bear Cat,
From Gloucester City, ExplOdes.

OiOuNCoNCA OANyS A1APAO0NSs
Smyrna Landing had a fire Satur-
day night about midnight, when the
motor boat, "Bear Cat" of the Mon
mouth Club, of Gloucester City, N. j.,
was burned to the waters edge. The
fire was due to a gasoline tank ex-
plosion. Seven members of the club
one of the leading athletic clubs of
that city,-had been on a fishing trip
off Bombay Hook and had come in to
Smyrna Landing for gasoline, intend
ing to start early Sunday morning to
continue their fishing trip down the
bay. They had poured about ten gal
Ions in the tank and were adding
more when the gasoline exploded.
The men were outside the boat and
could not get at their fire fighting
equipment in time, so quickly did the
flames envelop the craft. The only
thing they could do was to cut the
boat from her moorings and let her
drift with the tide down stream. The
wharf at the landing was charred but
the flames were kept from spreading
to shore. The seven club members
lost their clothing and jewelry, and
some who were in bathing suits and
others barefooted were forced to get
wearing apparel to return home,
which they did by train. The "Bear
Cat" was a 30-foot motor boat with
canopy top. The engine which was
salvaged was shipped back to Glou-
cester City.
