tTESN. VALLEY BUREAU)

V. ALBANY RECATUR, Ala, March 1.-Through an agreement whereby the engineer of the Alabama Public Service commission is to make survey of the water situation here, officials of the Twin Cities and members of the Ala hama Water company hope a satisfac tory solution may he found of their difficulties. The commission had set for hearing Friday the complaint made regarding the water pressure here. However, when the hearing on the pow CT petition was concluded the hour was late and attorneys for the cities. mayors and representatives of the water com pany appeared before the commission and asked that q later date be set for the hearing. The request followed conference between representatives of fh cities and the water company when the company promised to exert every cffort toward affording whatever relief is necessary. It was stated also that sfgxpairs had been made on the valves at the local plant, which it is expected will do much toward overcoming the reported lack of pressure on occasions in the recent past.
 Rearing Is Concluded
 With departure late today of mem- bers of the public service commission having under consideration the petition of the Alabama Power company for permission to build transmission line through the valley, the attention of this district again is focused on Mont gomery. Many believe it will require 10 days or more for the commission to go through and study the mass of tes- timony, which was submitted by the proponents and opponents of the petl- ton. They will consider not only the testimony which was submitted orally, but also number of petitions and resolutions.
 In testimony submitted by opponents of the petition, attorneys brought out evidence regarding the unloading of coal in some sections of the north Ala bama territory. Whether or not there is any intention to go ahead with the construction of the line in the immed fate future was not brought out.

 ELARENCE. Ala, Feb. 29.-The construction schedule for the month of February at Wilson Dam. in construc- tioh division No. 1, required the plac- inGtof 23,000 cubic yards of concrete. On. the ,23rd of the month 20,11d cubic yardssof this concrete had been placed.

 The installation of the butterfly valves in the sluices has been accelerated bssfhe arrival of a shipment from the manufacturer. These valves, of the but terfly type, are operated by air and control the flow of water through the slufees, which are nine feet in diame- ters To machine the castings for these valves it was necessary to ship them to one of the few shops in the United States equipped to handle castings of this size. Delivery has consequently been slow. There remain to be de- livered three valves which will com plefe the order.

IN 1912, England was at war with France, and be-


 ing in need of service men she
 claimed justification in stopping American ships on the high seas and searching them for British sub ects, to be impressed into her service. On several occasions American ships were seized flor carrying contraband" when they were searched and found to have among the passengers or crew person thought to be British subject This the United States considered violation of the freedom of the seas, and caused complications to arise which led to the War of 1872, in which the worlds youngest nation matched itself against of the oldest and strongest
 The war was fought mostly on the sea, but there were land campaigns along the Canadian border, around Washington and at New Orleans. Amer cas fighting strength consisted of an army of about 5000 regulars and AT 900 militiamen and volun- teers, and navy of 10000 men The war lasted about two and one-half years, and was brought to an end by conference at Gheht in December 1874; but so slow were the means of communica- on that two great battles were fought before news of the peace treaty reached America One of these was naval battle in which the famous old frigate Constitution" captured two British men-of-war and the other was the Battle of New Orleans where General Andrew JacksonS militiamen de- teated the British troops under General Packenham
 Peace has now reigned no years between the two countries, and their trust of each other has grown so great that there is not single fort of either nation along the whole extent ofth Canadian border.

THE CORN CROP of Delaware is at the har-
vesting stage at the present time and with very
few exceptions the corn is well formed and
gives promise of a large yield per acre. The
fodder in many fields in Kent and Sussex coun-
ties will not be of high grade, because the high
winds accompanied by rain, blew the standing
corn into a tangle which makes it hard to save
The work of clearing the fields progresses rap
idly when the corn is cut off at the ground and
carried to the shock This is practiced where
wheat is to be sown to follow the corn crop for
another year. Most of the acreage planted in
corn, is sown with wheat after the corn is cut
in the fall, and plowing for wheat is going for
ward as the fodder and corn is removed Wheat
sowing in this part of Delaware generally starts
in the early part of October and ends with the
middle of November.

ELECT THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN TICKET

We all make decisions which after more close
terest of our individual rights and certainly bad
for the public or the future welfare of Delaware,
Once upon a time asked to do a
certain thing, and refused saying, why should
l. when it profteth me nothing?" The years roll
ed by, and as time passed he found that the
thing he had refused to do would have in the
end led to exceeding profit to himself. And then
he blamed himself for not looking beyond the
present and into the future, saying What a
blind donkey l have been"
This is pretty much the condition of certain
Delaware Republicans, only a few it is true, who
are deluding themselves with the thought that
by supporting the Democratic ticket they are
gratifying their own feelings of disappointment,
of hurt pride, or of personal enmity, at the ex-
pense of their enemies. But they are not. If they
will take time for little thought, a little re-
Fiction they will see that they are in reality
such feelings not at the expense of
their enemies but at the expense of themselves.
For they are doing the very thing that will make
the future impossible for their own success.
To pursue the same train of reasoning; if, by
any chance, the Democratic ticket should be
elected in Delaware this fall, can anyone with
good common sense believe that the Democrats
will do anything except make the future secure
or themselves? Does anyone who is familiar
With Democratic Party history believe that they |
will do anything except, first, by appropriate ]
