SLAUGHTER BEACH BOOMS

The rehabilitation of Slaughter
Beach as a bayshore resort for the
people of Milford and surrounding
country for fifteen or more miles, re-
minds the lolder folks of the great
popularity Of that resort, when George
Males, Edward Reynolds and other
genial souls conducted the hotel there.
The splendid bayshore suppers serv-
ed, the great feast of happiness and
social gatherings which cling to the
memories of the past, in connection
with Slaughter Beach, will cause
those who enjoyed the pleasures of
yesterday at Slaughter Beach, with it's
splendid fishing, sailing, bathing,
crabs, oysters, CLAIMS and terrapin,
not to mention the fried chicken and
other fine things that the old time
hosts delighted to serve in gastron-
Omic profussion, to learn of the new
at the reconstruct
ed hotel, the new board walks to the
shore, the modern accommodations
for auto parties, with a realizing
sense of pleasure that the glOries of
its past are restored. Last Sunday
there was a large crowd of people at
Beach. The new dancing
pavilion is popular, and even the mos
quitoes are not able to quench the en-
thusiasm-but they will be gone with
the present week. There is certain to
be the largest crowd at Slaughter
Beach on 'Big Thursday" in August,
that has visited old Slaughter Beach
in fifteen years or more.

Accidently Killed

James F. Anderson, of Milford, who
was spending the summer at Reho-
bOth,, was instantly killed Tuesday ev-

discharged, sending a bullet through
his brain. He was in his 80th year.
He was born January 5, 1843.
Mr.. Anderson, who had been stay1
ing with his son, Daniel G.. Anderson

revolver and decided to clean it and
keep it on hand in order that he
might be prepared in the event Of in
trusion by prowlers.
The Anderson family was sitting inl
a downstairs room of the cottageI
talking, when they were terrified to-
hear a shot. They hurried upstairs
and found Mr.. Anderson lying on the'
floor, with the revolver and the rags.
and oil, which he had been using to
clean it, lying beside him.
DR.. Bartram of the Beebe Hospital
was summoned Upon his arrival he
found that Mr.. Anderson was dead
and declared that death had most
likely been instantaneous, the bullet
having passing through his brain. A
coroner's jury met Wednesday morn
ing in the case and rendered a verdict
of death by accident.
Mr.. Anderson for many years own
ed and operated a nursery known as
the Pullen-Anderson fruit nurseries

we'd as deputy revenue collector for
this district some years ago. For sew
eral years he was secretary Of the Mil
ford Light and Water Commission and

was appointed secretary of the Milford
and Loan Association and
served in that capacity until retired
from active work. He had been max
ing his home in the General Tobert

chased eight years ago.

The people of Kent county are
learning that it pays them to pay
their county taxes, when the notice
is sent them by the Receiver of Taxes
it saves the sheriff's costs, which in
most cases, is more than the taxes.
Sheriff Graham, to whom was CIV
en- the error and delinquent tax list
to collect, reported that he had col
lected $1,45O.19 on the list handed to
him asked that. he be given an eXten-

er $1,000 yet collectable. His request
was granted.
In the event the sheriff collects the
balance of the $1,000 there will be
left the smallest error and delinquent,

PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION
PAY FOR THIS WILL NOT Be GIVEN DUR
ING The COMING SCHOOL YEAR.

The State Board of Education has
endeavored to be fair in the distribu-
ton of the fund available for trans
portation during the school year 1921
1922, but the situation has been a
very difficult one because the appro-
priatiOn was entirely inadequate and
the number of claimants has greatly
increased over former years.
At the beginning of the year, the
Board entered into contracts for the
continuance of routes previously es-
tablished, and then decided to distri-
butte the balance to private claimants,
hoping there would be sufficient to
meet these claims under the allow
ance rules adopted.
1t was soon found, however, that
these payments could not be continu-
ed for the school year with the funds
available, and, by resolution of the
State Board of Education, the busi-
ness manager was directed to pay all
properly certified claims from Sep
tember to January-1st, then at the end
of the year, if any balance remained,
to proceed with payments for Jan4
uary. There was in the apprOpria-
ton available to the State Board $751;
300 and the cost for the year, includ-
ing private transportation up to Jan
uary LIST, was $52,493.73, the deficit
having to be made up from the con-
tingent fund. The contingent fund
was not large enough to pay for the
month of January after providing for
other excess costs, and it has there
fore become impossible to pay for
any private transportation after Jan
uary 1st.
This is an explanation of why bills
after January LIST have not been, and
cannot be, paid.
Private Transportation for Next Year
Owing to the fact that more schools
have been closed and that larger
groups of pupils have to be carried
to central schools for the coming
year, the amount of the State appro-
priation for Transportation and Re
placement" will make it impossible
to- consider payments next year for
what has been known as private
transportation.
This statement is made to and by
of the State Board of Edu-
cation. J. o. Adams, business manager.

For moment Lee stared,

against her will. she laughed.
She partook Of her meal alone,
but with enjoyment. Her surround
ings were delightful, soothing,
peaceful, and involuntarily, as she
left the table and passed into the
smaller drawing room, with its big
hearth, she drew a deep sigh that
had in it an immensity OF satisfac-
tion and appreciation. For an hour
she dreamed, for little longer
tried to read. Then she went up
stairs to her.own apartments. She
fingered over her toilet, and II was
fairly late when at last she found
herself in bed, and with q little
tired sigh she fell almost imme-
diately asleep.

that she awoke. clearly and abrupt.

sound. She sat up among her pill
lows, listening. The sound came
again-the faint scrape OF a win
dow gently shutting. the soft tread
OF cautious feet past her door. She
heard the stairs creak-heard a
movement in the room below her,
and shivered a little suddenly,
more from excitement than fear.
After an instants hesitation she
glanced at the little illuminated
clock by her side. 1t was three in
the morning, and upon an impulse
she slipped out OF bed. There was
another stir from the room imme-
diately below her. and she stood
for a moment frowning.

The room Immediately beneath

ajar, and a faint light shone
through.

lightly across the hall till she

CHAPTER TX.

r EE married Jason Smithers
one month later. Somewhat
to her astonishment, and not
altogether in accordance with her
own desire, the old man insisted
upon wedding of conventional
type. He explained, somewhat dry
ly, that while he did not desire
farcical SHOW" he objected to an
unnecessarily quiet" ceremony.
He was proud Of his good fortune;
proud Of the woman who was to be
his wife; he desired all the rest OF
the world that mattered to be aware
of It.
He upheld Terry in her insistence
upon acting as bridesmaid. He in
vited all such friends and acquain-
tances as he had made in England
since his arrival. He made 1t plain
to Lee that he hoped to see her
friends, also, and he was irascibly
annoyed at her suggestion that she
should be married in a travelling
costume.
Nonsense, my dear!" he urged.
You'll make charming bride-a
charming bride! want you to look
the part!"
There had been a note OF COM
mand beneath the courteous plea
which Lee had caught and resented
without resisting She had made no
further protest, but had shrugged
and yielded.
Terry, observing her closely dur
ing that month, had not quite known
what to make of her. Lee. was, in
some ways, considerably changed.
Undemonstrative as ever, she was
not so cold. 1t was as though the
knowledge that the time was near
at hand when she would, more or
less, be her own mistress, had
thawed and softened her.
And since that interview with
Jason Smithers, upon which he had
made clear to her his attitude
toward her and Just how much he
expected at her hands, her regard
for him had deepened.
He never thrust himself upon her,
