HERE AND THERE ON THE
DEL-MAR-VA PENINSULA
Items of Interest Prepared by
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association

That the original endeavor to ere.
ate separate State out of the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula dates back nearly
one hundred years, is evidenced by
Information supplied by Rodney Bur-
ton, OF Philadelphia, a grandson of
Joshua Burton, who has found
, among his grandsire's papers rec
ords which he thinks fixes this date.
These records show that Joshua Bur-
ton, as Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives of Delaware, in 1882 in
trOduced bill creating a new State
out of Delaware, the Eastern Shore
OF Maryland and Eastern Shore of
Virginia Counties. Both branches of
the Delaware Legislature gave un-
anlmous passage to this bill, but al
though its sponsor carried it per
sonally to Annapolis and Richmond
test vote in these two States As
semblys rejected the proposition as
earnestly as Delaware had fostered
it. The year 1882 was one of Wild
cat legislation in Delaware and some
OF the records of that period cannot
be found.
Educational authorities in several
of the Eastern Shore of Maryland
Counties are devising plans for the
consolidation of some schools. It is

MILFORD, FRIDAY, JAN. IA, 1927

DIR. JOSEPH A. CONWELL, OF
Vineland, New Jersey, who is ma
tive of Sussex County, Delaware,
has written an article for the col
umns of the Milford Chronicle,
which appears on pages three and
four of this issue of the paper, and
it will be interesting to those who
are able to recall the period of which
he writes, about sixty-five years ago.
The Doctor is lecturer who has
earned a good reputation as a speak
er, and his article on Sussex County
and Delaware, will be the source OF
pleasure for those who read it. 1t
was at first intended to publish the
article in serial form, but the final
decision was that the general inter
est would be best held, by printing
the whole in one edition.

IT is RECOGNIZED by many and
admitted by large part of the peo-
pie, that Milford needs several large
stores built with modern convenien-
ces for display and sale of merchan-
disc; and, this applies to all kinds
of business. There is not even one
modern large store in Milford, as to
the building and attractive in archi-
tectural effect. At present there is
not in Milford a modern, barbering
establishment with ample floor space
and facilities for quick and first
class service. The business is here
and the men and women who want
that kind of service are forced to
accept unnecessary delay in time,
which has prevailed so long, that
public interest is turning away from
home shops. Such a place would be
welcomed by the entire community
and the travelling public.

IN YEARS which are only of the
recent past there were those who
discouraged establishing of more
canneries in Milford, and based their
argument on the statement, that
Delaware has not sufficient labor to
manage the fruit and agricultural in
dustries and more canneries would
absorb the farm labor and deprive
such canning enterprises, as were
then in operation. This was an idea
expressed by the head of an organi-
zation twenty-five years ago, in Mil
ford, under the name of Chamber
of Commerce" That organization
died in its birth of course, for no
narrow policy of such character can
survive in any community. Today it
is recognized as a well known fact,
that opportunity for employment at
fair wages, always brings ample
supply of labor seeking places. What
helps one, will always help all of the
people and their business enter
prises.

$1,000; Yuma, $4,000; Graham,
5000; Greenlee, 1000; Pima 81
900; Pinal, 5000. The Maricopa
county acreage includes $4,000
acres of Pima long staple, against
10000 last season. First bales of
the new crop have been ginned in
both Yuma and Maricopa counties.
Increased acreages of wheat,
corn, oats and alfalfa, and decreas-
es in barley and cotton, are re-
ported in preliminary estimates of
the U. S. Department Of Agrcul-
ture, forecasting production of
principal field crops other than
cotton based on conditions of July

given as $4,000, compared to 4O,-

duction of 1,514,OOO bushels

bushels; barley, acreage decreased
to 10000 from $4,000, with a
prospective total of 666,00O bush

estimated at 10000, compared to
178,000 last season, forecasting
production of 100000 tons

ranges to excellent condition.
Stock of all kinds is in very good
shape, and with fine lamb and calf
crops, satisfactory markets during
early cattle and lamb movement,
and ample supplies of feed and
water, the livestock industry prom
ises to make good progress this
year.
Although there has been little
marketing activity as yet. pro-
spects for fall cattle shipments are
favorable, and both fat and range
cattle prices have been well main
tanned. Shipments to points out
side the state during the first five
months Of this year totaled 97.-
O19 head, with 61,9O6 shipped to
points within the state, comparing
favorably with movement for the
first half of 1926.
The sheep situation has been
considerably by
strengthening of the wool market
in the past month, through lamb
markets have been off in recent
weeks and have had the effect of
holding back summer shipments.
This seasons lamb crop was ma
terially larger than last years and
early movement was heavy, Ariz-
ona, Texas and California being
the only western states which had
larger numbers than last year. The
wool clip also shows another in
crease this year, being estimated
at 7,182,000 pounds, against g.
$4,000 in 1925.

"Old Man Runs Up His Flag"

Everybody saw the point. 1.-THE old

Gen. Grosvenor say. The floor and
galleries were crowded. He declared

ris appealed and the decision was over

cheered wildly, the galleries joining
in, for every one realized that in q

uation. His resolution was adopted
amid great confusion, and then he
moved to adjourn.
This he did as the new leader
though his title was soon to be wrest
ed from him. Mr.. Cannon asked him
to withhold the motion while the chain
made a brief statement.
Instantly, the confusion subsided
Gravely and slowly the Speaker re-
viewed the situation, declared that
there was no longer a coherent Re
publican majority and said it was the
duty Of the new majority to take the
responsibility. He was, therefore
ready to entertain a motion to de-
clare the office of Speaker vacant and
to order a new election.
Democrats Amazed.
There was great applause on the
Republican side and from those in the
gallery who recognized courage and
admired it, but among the Democratic
members there was only confusion
and amazement. They had no plan
except to adjourn, and Mr., Cannon
was coolly taunting them to turn him
out and elect his successor. AS for
the insurgents, if they did what he
was daring them to do, they would
be proclaiming to the country that
they had left the Republican party
and had become assistant Democrats.
Burleson of Texas, later President
Wilson'S Postmaster General, offered
the motion Mr.. Cannon had suggested.
Mr.. Cannon called Mr.. Payne to the
chair and walked out of the House,
all the Republican members rising and
firing salvo of applause in honor of
their fighting leader. He went to his
room to await the result of the vote.
He was philosophical and in good
humor. but somewhat grim. There
was a tightness about his lips differ
ent from the usual whimsical lines
which betokened he would rather
laugh at a good story than indulge in
a sarcastic fling.
There was pandemonium on the
floor and throughout the Capitol.

of the Speakers rostrum, cheering

1.-THE Democrats and insurgents in
sisted on keeping us in session all
night, which was uncomfortable, and
the only way we could revenge our
selves was by compelling them to
maintain quorum. Whenever there
was less that quorum. present the
sergeant-at-arms would be directed to
go and wake up some of the wearie1
mmbers who had sneaked off home to
catch a wink of sleep. Curiously, he
generally woke up Democrats and in
surgents and let the absent Republi-
cans SIMMER on.

Opposition Shows Anger.

1.-THE opposition got mad and called
upon the sergeant-at-arms for an ex-
PLANTATION, but he was seasoned old
Republican and they got no satisfac-
ton out of him. Then they moved
to appoint an acting sergeant-at-arms
to rout out Republicans from their
nice warm beds and drag them
through the cold. But when this man
came to me for warrants Of arrest /
refused to issue them because the
whole performance was clearly illegal.
Later on that same night my refusal
to sanction this gross infraction of
the law was denounced as further
evidence Of my czarlike assumption of
power and my intolerable and pre-
sumptuous arrogance"
The next morning, remember, Mr..
Cannon took the chair wearing in his
buttonhole a red carnation, which, in
