COLORED FOLKS STAGE PARADE

The only enlivening, observation of
the Fourth of July in Milford, was
that made by the colored people, when
very creditable parade of floats and
auto trucks trimmed with the nation
al colors, followed the Milford Coronet
Band over a route which took in
about all of Milford. The display was
excellent, and the music of a lively
metre and in splendid quantity as
we'll as quality. Unfortunately the
rain spoiled much of the picturesque
ness of the score of autos and their
patriotic participants, by catching the
procession before the disbandment.
The colored folks seem to have the
pep" and patriotic energy to stage
a celebration of the National Birth
day, by appealing to the people thru
the sound of music and the sight of
attractive displays of mechanical and
useful purposes. The colored folks
sing well and respect the flag of their
country by personal demonstrations.
What's the matter with the white cit
liens of Milford? Where is the spirit
of patriotism?

tion of that position, to take effect

more than pleased with the forth
coming report, which will be printed
in detail through the columns of The
Chronicle in an early issue-as scOn
as the report is compiled.
Mrs. johnson, the new superinten-
dent, is no stranger to the people of
Milford and vicinity, as she has made
her home here for the past few years
and again takes up her profession af-
ter having acted with the Board of
Lady Managers of the hospital dur
ing the past year-therefore she is fa-
miliar with the people, the duties of
the position and has every qualifica-

CANAL ENLARGEMENT
WHEN BILL IS SIGNED
The GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATION BILL
PROVIDES 81, 500, 900 FOR CHESA-
PEAKE & DELAWARE CANAL.
BRIDGE WORK IS INCLUDED
The FIRST STEP WILL BE TO DREDGE
100000 CUBIC YARDS FROM The
DEEP CUT SECTION.

The next twelve months will mean
the expenditure of several million dol
lars on the Chesapeake & Delaware
Canal, as well as work for hundreds
of workmen. The Government apprO-
priatiOn bill provides $2,500,000 for
this waterway and the minute Presi-
dent Harding signs the bill this mon
ey becomes available.
The next big project on the canal
enlargement will be the removal of
5,600,O0O cubic yards of material from
the Deep Cut section. The govern
ment plans to advertise for bids for
this work as soon as the appropriation
is available. The specifications are al
ready prepared. About two years will
be reqNired for this work, which will
mean the completion of the Deep Cut
section.
In addition to the dredging, which
will be done by steam shOvels, or
dredging machines, at the option of
the contractor, there will be consider
able bridge construction work. Part
of the appropriation, which is to be
expended during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1922, will be for the con-
struction of the Summit bridge and
for laying the foundations of the five
other bridges along the waterway.
The bridge specifications will be COM
pleted in short time.
The material to be removed from
the Deep Cut section will be deposited
in spoil basins, which are to be Sc
cured by the government. The pres
ent contractor, who is engaged in the
removal of material from the Deep
Cut section, amounting to 650,000 Gu
bic yards, has about so per cent of the
work completed. A total of 100000
cubic yards of material will be re-
moved from the waterway before it
will become a sea-level canal. A to-
tai of 100000 is to be removed from
the Deep Cut section. This Deep Cut
section is the biggest part of the
work, owing to the high banks on
both sides of the canal, for distance
of about two miles, on the western
side of the Summit Bridge.

Congressman Caleb R. Layton in a
personal letter to the Milford Chron-
icle under date of July 5th, states that
the United States Government Bureau
of Fisheries, will, upon the applica-
ton of any two or more citizens of
any community, stock any mill pond

the people of Kent and Sussex coun-
ties through the columns of The Mil
ford Chronicle and also says-that if
any two citizens of any town or COM
munity, will write him making the 1e-
quest, that he will be glad to endorse
their application and secure instruc-
tions for them to have any pond or
stream in Delaware stocked with fish.
Those interested can send their appli-
cations to the Congressman-add address,
ed-as follows: "Hon. c. R. Layton,

ELECTRIC STORMS
DAMAGE PROPERTY
STORMS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY EVE
NINGS STRIKE MILFORD DWELLINGS
AND CAUSE DAMAGE.
NO PERSONS WERE INJURED
NOTWITHSTANDING FACT THAT OWNERS
WERE HOME WHEN The DWELLINGS
WERE STRUCK.

On Sunday and Monday evenings
Milford and the surrounding territory
were visited by some of the hardest
electric storms in years. The storm
on Sunday evening was very severe,
and lasted for some time. The home
OF Marshall Martin, who resides near
Chestnut Knoll, west of Milford, was
struck by lightning and considerable
damage was done. Fred deLuzerne.
who resides with the Martins, had
just gotten out of bed to put down a
window when the bolt struck. The
man was badly cut by flying glass
from the bursted window. The bolt
then Travelled to the bed from which
the man had just arisen. This bed
was splintered and the mattress and
bedclothes were set on fire. From the
room occupied by deLuzerne the
lightning went to an adjoining bed
room where another bed was struck.
1t likewise was splintered and the
bedclothes were fired.
The pig pen at the Martin home was
struck and some of the pigs stunned.
On Monday evening another severe
electric storm visited this locality.
The home of Elijah Ryan, on Mont
gomery street, opposite the base ball
grounds, was struck by lightning.
T, The family were all in a front room
and were uninjured. The entire front
of the second floor was torn away,
the front door was torn from it's
hinges, and the north side of the
house was splintered The interior
of the home was a wreck. The only
room which was not damaged was the
one in which the Ryan family were
sitting. The Carlisle Fire Company
was called out to answer. a fire alarm
at this home, but when they arrived
Ryan had extinguished the flames.
The same evening, and during the
same storm, the home of Fred Wilson,
on Washington street, about a block
away from the Ryan home, was
struck by lightning. The bolt enter
ed through the roof and damaged one
bedroom. None of the occupants of
the Wilson home were injured.

HONOR TSENATOR DU PONT
RECEPTION AT GEORGETOWN Was FINE
TESTIMONIAL OF ESTEEM,

Between four and five thousand
people, residents of all parts of Del
aware, gathered at Georgetown last
Saturday afternoon and evening to
show by their presence their appre-
citation to Senator T. c. du Pont, for
the fine concrete boulevard, which he
is rapidly completing through the en-
tire length of the State of Delaware.
This reception was conceived by Sus-
sex cOuntians who felt that the resi-
dents of the lower county desired to
express in substantial manner their
appreciation to Senator du POnt. The
invitation was issued by Ex-Governor
Townsend and Joseph E. Holland, for
mer associates of the Senator on the
State Highway Department, and fol-
lowed the completion of the highway
through the entire length of Sussex
county.
Early in the afternoon on Saturday
the crowd commenced to gather, and
until late in the evening the people
continued to arrive at the county
seat. A special train, which was made
up at Wilmington, brought numbers
of persons from that city and other
towns up state. Upon the arrival of
this train, shortly after six o'clock,
Senator du Pont, Mrs. du Pont, Mr..
Holland and Mrs. Holland and ex-
Governor Townsend formed a receiv-
ing line, and for hours the people in
the gathering passed by Senator du
POnt, to greet him.
The affair was in no way a politi-
cal one; but politicians from both
parties were present and were dis
cussing their party affairs among
their friends. Those who went with
the idea of hearing political matters
mentioned were greatly disappointed,
for there was no such talk. At six
o'clock a buffet luncheon was served
by Wilmington caterer to those who
desired their supper. Music for the
occasion was furnished by Robinson's
Philharmonic Band of Wilmington,
and the entire green was roped off so
that those who desired could dance.

TO HEAD NEW DEPARTMENT

After September 1st next, Rev. John
Kelso, now in charge of the Houston
circuit of the Wilmington conference,
which is made up of the M. E.
Churches at Houston, Laws Chapel
and Milford Neck, will resign that
charge to take up the duties as head
of the new department which has been
created by the Trustees of the Will
mington Collegiate Institute, located
at Dover. He will have charge of tea
ching languages, of which he is flu
ent master in Greek, Latin and other
ancient languages, as well as in
French, German, Spanish and the
English languages courses. The new
department will also include history
and the English literary courses, and
the standard of the institution will be
raised to equal some of the large col
leges.
Mr.. Kelso is one of the best educa-
ted men in the Wilmington M. 3. con-
ference and speaks huently as well as
reads the many languages. He is of a
quiet and retiring nature, and with
his studious habits has never made
special effort to attract the attention
of his associates. The District Super
intendent Rev. John Mowbray, under
whom he is serving, has knowledge of
his ability and is warm friend, who
approves of his advancement.
Since taking charge Of the Houston
circuit, he has brought about very
earnest spirit of Christian activity in
the several districts under his care.
and the people generally regret that
his work with them will close after
the summer season. His successor
has not as yet been named by the dis
trict superintendent:

M. E. BOYS WON

The Avenue Base Ball Club "a. B.
g., which is composed of young men
of Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
of this town, all "diked" out in their
new suits were a nifty" looking team
when they walked out on the field
last Saturday to oppose the M. P. G.
club of this town, and the A. B. G.
boys won by score of 8 to 6.
Baynum and Wilson promise to be
the finest products in the pitching
field that this community has turned
out recently, and Riggs and Hudson
(catchers) are promising youths.
1t looks like this community is to
receive some fine demonstrations of
base ball this summer and it should
support these two teams by its at
tendance at the games.

MILFORD DEFEATED DOVER
BY SCORING THREE RUNS IN The STH
INNING--AN EXCITING GAME.

Dover came to town on the morn
ing of July 4th, confident of victory
over victory. For awhile it seemed as
though they would take the bacon
home with them. They scored a run
in the third and as the innings passed
on it lOomed up large. But Milford
finally found it's way around the bags
after getting lost on several prev
ious trys. And 10, behold the eighth!
Marvel, first man up singled. Petty
john fouled to Lilley. Grand Pa
(TOwnsend) got a life when Lilley
fumbled his grounder. Ryder was
sent in to bat for Johnson and re-
sponded with a single over short, Mar
vel scoring. Ryder went to second
where he found Townsend and in the
mix-up that followed Heck scored
when the ball got away from Lilley.
Ryder taking third from where he
scored on Pinder's out.
These three runs won the game, o
Boy! weren't the fans overjOyed, you
tell them Ryder, you rode the ball for
Milford.
Both Baynum and Baker pitched
beautiful ball, each allowing seven
hits and striking out six apiece.
The fielding behind Baynum was
excellent, only one error being charg-
ed up against the team.
Everyone on the team was out to
win the game and if they give us ball
as they did on July the 4th, we ought
to be satisfied.
Dover will play here again on Sat
urday afternoon. Game called at three
o'clock. Come out fans and help the
team make it two straight from our
old rivals.
The game at Dover on the after
noon of the 4th was called off on ac-
count of rain after one and half in
nings had been played, with Dover
leading at that time. Too much rain.
