DISPUTE OVER SOME CALVES
LEADS TO ASSAULT NEAR DOVER
NATHANIEL PLEASANTON NEAR
LITTLE CREEK
Three Negroes Arrested by Sheriff
Graham Wednesday Night, Charged
With Attack, Landed in Dover Jail

Following persistent rumors of pos
slble violence, toward a negro family
named Martin, living on the McGoni-
gal farm, near Little Creek, east of
Dover, charged with a murderous as
sault on a white farmer, Nathaniel
Pleasanton, Deputy Attorney-General
Wiley late Wednesday night ordered
Sheriff Graham and a posse to go to
Little Creek and take the negroes in
to custody. All the officers in the
town, together with Sheriff Graham
and Constable Vansant, went to the
Martin home. They found everything
quiet, but the negroes, who were
alarmed, were placed under arrest and
carried to the Kent county Jail shortly
before midnight. They were Harry
Martin and his sons, Harry and Nc
Kinley Martin, Lulu Martin and James
Tenant, also said to have been impli-
Gated in the assault, were left on the
farm. Later in the night, however,
they left.
The assault on Pleasanton arose out
of Pleasanton's calves getting on the
McGonigal farm where they were i'm
pounded. McGonigal notified Pleasan-
ton where his calves were and mat
ters between McGonigal and Pleasan-
ton appeared to have been adjusted,
but on going to the farm where the
Martins live, it is alleged the negroes
demanded SIS for the keep of the
calves.
According to Pleasanton's story he
was in the act of reaching for the
money in his pocket when he was as
saulted, being pelted with brincks
which bruised and lacerated his face.
In addition he was jumped on and
beaten, causing internal injuries.
The negroes claim that in reaching
for the money in his pocket Pleasan-
ton pulled knife Thinking he would
do them bodily harm the assault fol-
lowed.
PleasantOn's condition was report
ed much worse. The negroes are held
without bail until Pleasanton's condi-
tion is known fully.

MIDDLETOWN PUPILS 81
Increase in Enrolment Necessitates a
Longer Day

The Middletown school opened on
Monday with 311 pupils in attendance.
This number is larger by 40 than the
enrolment a year ago. An increase
in numbers was anticipated and pro-
vision was made for the increase in
numbers by providing an extra room
and teacher for the grades. This
gives a separate teacher for each
grade and completes the organization
for departmental work in the three
upper grades, placing the grammar
school on a par with the best in the
State. The high school corps num-
bers the same as last year, while the
enrolment has increased about 20 per
cent. This necessitates a longer school
day and extra efforts on the part of
the high school teachers.
With the courses now being given in
academic, vocational agriculture and
home-making subjects, the high school
is rendering an invaluable service to
the young people of the community
Due to the splendid work of the Par
ent-Teacher Association, and the eff
forts of the school, playground equip
ment consisting of a slide, four see
saws, four swings, four horizontal
bars, a jumping pit, and a stop watch
for track work have been added. Other
equipment being added are tennis,
basketball, soccer ball, medicine balls
This equipment will assist greatly in
carrying out the program of physical
and health education.

tues, etc. The course will consist of

tained the degree of Doctor of Philos-

DROUGHT HURTS SHORE CROPS
Pasture, Milk Supply, and Trucking
Badly in Need of Rain

Badly in Need of Rain
The four week drought on the Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland and in Della
ware, has been disastrous to farming,
according to the weekly crop bulletin,
issued by the United States Weather
Bureau in conjunction with the Mary
land State Weather Service. Crop
reports from all sections of the penin-
sula stressed the damage done in the
long period in which there has been
little or no rain. Pastures are drying
up, the milk supply is decreasing, gar
den trucking is failure, late potatoes
are badly hit, fall sowing of wheat,
rye and clover is being delayed and
crops generally are suffering for want
of good soaking shower, according
to reports from st. Michaels, Easton,
Cambridge, Snow Hill, Salisbury, Bir-
dletree and counties in Delaware.
While the western part of Mary
land has had a fair amount of rain
during August and September, the
Eastern Shore and Delaware have
been having a particularly dry period
for more than 40 days, according to
the reports. The average rainfall for
Maryland during August, was more
than four inches while on the Shore it
was less than two inches. The big
rain of several days ago, which broke
records for this section for early Sep
tember, failed to cross the bay.
Director Spencer, of the Baltimore
Weather Bureau, ascribes this condi-
ton to the fact that all during the
summer there has not been protract-
ed rainstorm. Such rains as fell were
more or less local in nature, he says.
These storms, he said, for some rea-
son as yet unexplained have failed TO
cross the Chesapeake.
