plated. Not only have they raised
$4,000, the amount asked for, but
will go over the top as well. The
committees appointed by Chairman
Henry P. Scott seem to have done
their work quickly and well.
The writer may be impatient and
looking for results before any can
be expected, but wonders if the
many committees appointed by the
chairman of the Del-MarVa Eastern
Shore Association are funcNOning as
they should. If they are hot they can
get an object lesson from the actiY-
tiles of the Wilmington people, and
20 and do likewise. If the matter
could be hurried up and the neces-
sary advertising put in force 1t
might be possible to induce small
farmers to settle on the Peninsula IN
time to build homes and put in crops
for the coming season or engage in
chicken farming as the case may be.
If the people of the Peninsula could
grasp what it means 10 the farmers
and others, the object of the great
drive now going on to boost the
beautiful country situated between
the two bays, everyone would be
willing to do their utmost in help
ing to crown with success the ef-
forts being put forth by the several
committees. Let's get busy.
The P. T. A. of Webbs school, Miss
! Mildred e. Warren, teacher, held
their February meeting on Thursday
evening of last week. A very pleas
ing program was presented. c. Paul
Burkholder, rural supervisor, was
present and delivered an address on
HThe Child, Home, Church and
School" which was greatly enjoyed
by all present. After the business
meeting was over box and shadow
social was held. Net proceeds were
$25.2S, which will be used for the
benefit of the school.
There was a large crowd present,
including the parents of the children
who complimented Miss Warren on
the success of the meeting. The next
meeting of the P. T. A. will be held
March 25th. Mrs. H. Bertrude Lewis,
of Laurel, visiting teacher for wes-
tern Sussex county will be the
| speaker. A cordial invitation is eX-
tended to everyone to be present at
the next meeting. Miss Warren was
glad to see some of her Ellendale
friends present.

Glendale was well represented at
Georgetown on Friday of last week,
the day on which Harry Butler was
hanged for committing an assault
on Eleanor Steinmetz, of near
Bridgeville. Those who were there
say it was the largest crowd ever
seen at the county seat. People from
five states were present to see the
gruesOme sight of a colOred man
who had committed a horrible crimey
hanging by the neck, after being
pronounced dead. Mothers with ba-
bies in their arms and small chill
dren were there mingling with the
boisterous suTging crowd of human
beings, who had come from all parts
of the county to see and to know
fha
court had pronounced against the
prisoner was carried out in full.
Would it not have been better to
have left the children at home and
kept from their sight the terrible
picture.
The writer many years ago wit
messed the scene of three cOlored
people hanging by the neck after
being dead. The hanging took place
in the same Jail yard at Georgetown.
What was witnessed that day was
indelibly stamped on the mind of
your correspondent. Time seems to
be unable to erase it.
The auditors appointed to audit
the books of the comptroller Of
Kent county after a thorough exam
ination, of the cost of maintaining
dirt roads, under the jurisdiction Of
the Levy Court, recommended for
the second time that the State take
over all the roads and place them
under the care of the State Highway
Department That which applies to
Kent county applies with equal
force to Sussex county. Thousands
of dollars is wasted yearly in main
tanning the dirt roads of the state,
under the present management. Why
not rise above party politics and
give to the taxpayers of the State
that economy which they have a
right to expect and for which they
are paying dear for.

A joint delegation of the citizens
of Milton and Glendale will go to
Dover on Wednesday, March 10th,
for the purpose Of laying before the
State Highway Department, the i'm
portance Of building a stone high
way to connect the Two towns. 1t is
important that all who possibly can
should go. Let all who are in favor
