ELI R. SHARP PASSES ON

! Eli R. Sharp died at Eaglesmere
| Pa, on Sunday, August 21, 1921, while
visiting his daughter at that mountain
resort. He was one of the most wide
ly known residents of Sussex county
and prominent in the Republican par
ty of this State and as long as 1876
was delegate to the Republican ma
tiOnal convention at Cincinnati that
nominated Rutherford B. Hayes, of
Ohio, for President. The Delaware
delegation to that convention was in
structed for James G. Blaine, but it
followed the leader in the break that
resulted in the first defeat Of the
Maine Senator in his several trials
for the Presidency. Prior to that cam
paign Mr.. Sharp had been prominent
in local politics and had been elected
sheriff of Sussex county in 1872. Sub
sequently, about 1890, he was appoint
ed collector of customs at LeWes, a
position he held until declining health
obliged him to relinquish active work
a few years ago. He reached the ripe
age of 81.
Mr.. Sharp was native of Nanti-
coke hundred, Sussex county, where
he continued to live until after his
election as sheriff. Upon retiring from
that Office he moved to Seaford and
engaged in the marble and monument
business, remaining until his appoint
ment as collector of customs, when he
moved to- Lewes, and where he lived
afterward. Mr.. Sharp's wife died a
few years ago. He had two daughters,
Mrs. Sanders M. Truitt of Milford
and Miss Mae Sharp of Lewes, and
one son, the latter H. Rodney Sharp
whose Wilmington home, Gibralter, on
the Kennett pike is one of the most
mansions in Wilmington.
Rodney Sharp and his wife, who was
Miss Isabelle M. du Pont, and his chill
dren are travelling in the Far East and
are not expected to return for more
than year.
The deceased leaves considerable
estate.
Funeral services were held at the
Sharp home, in Lewes, at noon, We'd
nesday, August "a. Burial was at the
family plot, Odd Fellows cemetery
Milford, where the body was brought
,y motor Immediately after the Lewes

TOLD TO ADVERTISE CROPS
MARKETING PRODUCT WITHOUT AID OF
MIDDLEMAN EXPLAINED.

Cooperation in the planting oil
crops, as well as in the marketing, is
necessary for the success of the far
mers of today, according to S, J. Lo-
well of New York State, master of the
National Grange, at a combined pic
mic of the Sussex County Grange and
members of the Farm Bureau, held at
Oak Orchard last Friday. Nearly five
thousand farmers attended the picnic,
most of them. coming in their own au-
tomobiles.
w. J. COverdale, secretary of the
National Farm Bureau Federation,
was also a speaker and explained
what changes the Farm Bureau is
making throughout the country by in
stituting a new method of marketing
crops by taking short cut through
the present maze of agents and COM
mission men. Advertising, especially
newspaper advertising, is to be ex-
tensively used during the next year
to show the customer how to secure
farm products much cheaper and yet
give the farmer better price. The
parcel post system also came in for
praise and has furnished the farmer
with the means of reaching city GUS
toners at a small cost.
R. j. Allen, of Seaford, president of
the County Farm Bureau, and Robert
&. Houston, a prominent granger of
Georgetown, Were also speakers.

PROOF-FIRE l2-INCH GUNS
FORT SALISBURY TO BE SCENE OF CAN.
NONADlNG NEXT MONTH.

Plenty of action is planned for Fort
salisbury, on the bay shore, near Mil
ford, the early part OF next month
when the four large twelve-inch guns
at the fOrtification, will be proof-fired
by troops from Fort du POnt, under
the direction of Colonel J. c. Spur,
Coast Artillery Corps, commanding
officer of the coast defenses Of the
Delaware and an Ordnance officer
from the Corps headquarters. Cover
nor Island, N. Y.
All new gun batteries, nowly IN
stalled are required to be tested in
this manner, before they are placed
in service. About nine shots will be
fired from each one of the guns. The
first charge will be one-fourth of the
full load, with the shots increasing
until the full charge of over one hun
dred pounds of power is used on the
final round. The regulation prOjectile
for these guns weighs 1046 pounds.
These tests are made to see if the
gun parts function properly. There
are two batteries, Haslet and Hall,
named after two prominent Delawar-
cans in history, and there are two
guns in each battery. These guns are
of the latest model, being on the lat
est improved barbette carriage with
increased elevation, giving an accu-
rate firing distance of 10000 yards.
The guns will be fired from $4,000 to
10000 yards.
A detail of forty men from Fort du
Pont will he brought down foA the
rsiVa Of f6o Il
that prominent army officers from all
over the East will be in attendance
to observe these tests, as the guns are
the latest type that have been install
led on the Atlantic seaboard. AL
though they are constructed to fire
accurately at 10000 yards, they will
ire several miles beyond that dis
.ance.
