KENT FARM BUREAU.

Dover. April 29.-Kent County Farm
Bureau met here yesterday afternoon.
There had been a well-founded report
that threshermen would demand eight
and ten cents per bushel for threshing
wheat this year. which TO the farmers
seems out of reason. Threshermen had
been invited TO attend the meeting, but
only one was present. a general dis
cussion was had upon the subject and
while no definite amount was agreed
upon, il was the opinion that five cents
per bushel would be a sufficient charge.
A committee was appointed TO wait
on the threshermen and discuss the
matter with them and report to another
meeting of the bureau. a. follows: 7. c.

Democrats are sorely put 10 ioi
- house leader to take the place OF OF
Representative Kitchen OF Nortl
Carolina, incapaciatcd because OF MS
broken health. However the present
trouble is not so much for the lack ol
q, man of experience and ability as
because of stuped old rule that gives
length of service the prerogatlfe OF
leadership. Under this rule the lor-
tunes of the party may be committed
to the keeping of some old duffer who
hardly has sense enough to get out OF
q cold shower. The general impress
sion TO the contrary, there are many
such men in congress. But if it were
not for this old rule, Hon. w. f.
Stevenson could fill the. bill. Mr.
Stevenson used to handle the South
Carolina house about as: easily as a
kindergarten teacher could. handle a
class of youngsters and TO q man like
him, the three years experience he
had is ample for the leadership of the
house. OF course for the reasons out
lined there is very little chance Of the
proper recognition, OF Mr.. Stevenson:
but in.-thc opinion Of The YorlIville
Enquirer that is the bad luck Of the
Democratic party.

Associated. Press dispatches from
the Near East indicate that the Turk
ish Nationalists are preparing tos at
tack Constantinople, and it is deao
certainty that if they do, Great BTU
ain, France and Italy will proInptiy
take a. hand. It is stated that the en-
tire British fleet that has heretofore
been stationed at Malta is now anoa
in the direction of the sea Of Marmora'
The Allies are not willing to back up
the Greeks; but nevertheless they can
not think of allowing the Turkish Ma
tionalists to interfere with Constant
nople, and if the Turkish Natiohal's's
persist, they will get good licking.

''"This co1nmutation road tax busi-
ness is a farce for the reason that
while a good many people pay their
taxes there are many more who. nei-
ther pay nor work." The Yorkville
Enquirer has been hearing state
ments to that effect from tiae to
time from different sections Of the
county and is pretty we'll satisfied as
to the truth Of these assertions. For
what it may be worth we are printing
today 4 statement Of the number. OF
people who paiG in each township
this year as compared with last year,
and from this statement it will be seen
that there is shortage Of 799, which
shortage cannot be satisfactorily &C.
counteld for on any. other theory than
that there arc lots OF people who are
liable to tho tax and who haye 'rnQt
paid. Of course these people have the
option Of working in lieu of paying
and maybe Il good, many uf them will
work; but since it is Il matter Of COM
mon report that'vcfy few ot=thosc who
have failed to pay heretofore have
been working there is little room TO
believe that they will do ii great deal
of work hereafter. We arc calling at
tcntion TO this matter simply out OF
Justice TO the people who pay, because
if one has to pay or work then all
should pay or work. There is no other
way to get for the roads the service
that the roads require.
