Unemployment Spreads
tuberculosis, Belief

DR.. Algernon B. Jackson, OF
Howard University medical COZ
lege, has started on a lecture tour
in the. Southern States in the
interests Of a study of tubercu-
l0Sis as it affects the negro.
The death rate from the disease
decreased appreciably from 1910
: to 1920, but from 1920 to 1895
the increase was alarming, ac-
cOrding to the physician. Unera-
ployment is believed to play a
part in the prevalence of the
disease.

opened up the vast expense of

he declared to be against the la
boring man and in favor of rail-
road corporations. He dwelt at
length on the election frauds of
'76 and the various other topics at
issue in the campaign. He re-
marked, however, on the practical
principles as advocated by the
two parties, and there was very
little difference between them. For
some reason there was less DIM
onstration than is usual at po-
litical meeting, the band making
nearly all the noise.
"The Industries of Delaware" is
the title of a pamphlet of book of
176 pages principally devoted to q
description of the business of the
advertisers and fiattering notices
of the subscribers. 1t is illustrat-
ed and the latter presswork neatly
executed, but many of the like
resses of individuals are mere car
ricatures. AS history of the in
dustries of the State it is of no
value and the descriptions of the
towns if not compiled from pre-
ceding directories were made up
from the imagination rather than
observation. For instance, Bren-
ford, is described as having a
church, hotel, and a population Of
100, embracing all trades and pro-
fessions; Kenton a population of
500, three churches, two hotels,
public hall, etc; Whigville, miles
South of Kenton, is looking up
with a population not less than
100, and Dammville, miles West
from Kenton, is a pleasant village
of 100 inhabitants, with a church
and store" The people living in
these places will smile at the eX-
travagant statements Of the com
piler. Darnmville is an entirely
new name on our map. The pa
tronage of the book in subscrip-
tions and advertisements had been
quite liberal at least in this com
munity. It may be judicious ad-
vertising to put card in worth
less book that is laid away and
rarely if ever opened rather than
newspaper that opens fresh
every week, but we think a practi-
cal experience would teach differ
emily.

Remarkable Yield Statements
Of individual prowess and remark

some people cum grano sails. The
statement of John M. Voshell that

wagon loads of corn before sun
rise when he was young man; Of
John c. Goldsborough that pop
lar tree cut on a farm on Bonn
bay Hook on which he resided
made twenty-five cords of wood
and Francis Wilds that a certain
apple tree on the Shorts Land
ing" farm yielded some years
since 80 bushels of apples were
thus held subject to correction,
but says an individual since know
ing what this same apple tree has
yielded this year, he is willing to
believe anything. This tract of
land came this year into the pos
session Of John c. Bailey His
tenant, Robert Roe, has used for
cider, sold and put UP 154 baskets
and 80 baskets are estimated still
to remain on the tree, which
would make 184 baskets saved
from the tree In addition Mr.
Roe thinks that 100 baskets fell
and rotted before they began to
use them, thus making 284 bas-
kets, which would be all Of $50
bushels Or so barrels from this re-
narkable tree. The tree is Of
course very large, about three feet
il, diameter, and Mr. Bailey says
that if it had been properly graft
ed with the different varieties
when young, they could have had
whole orchard in one tree. It is
Of the variety known as winter

body of the garment over his face
ard saturating it with chloroform,
is believed to have been the meth
cd of ending his life by Willard
L. Lane, 27 years old, of 80 Broad

decomposed body was found last
Wednesday near the edge of Lake
Como, at Smyrna. Lane was also

Near the body was a half filled
bottle of chloroform, which was
purchased in Massachusetts, and
full bottle of iodine. Lane haG
been spending a vacation at the
home of William Lawrence, where
he arrived on September Z. Three
days later he left the house saying
he was going into town and would

Political-The public meeting of
the Hancock & English Club was
held last evening in front of ]. H.
Bewley's store, and the speakers,
John Biggs and James l.. Walcott,
Esqs,, were listened to by three or
four hundred persons. Mr.. Biggs
was the first speaker, occupying
the rostrum for three quarters of
an hour. There was probably
more interest than usual in hear
ing young speaker because he
was the son of Honorable Benja-
min T. Biggs, very Familiarity
known in this community as a
stump declaimer. The son has
not the lusty fourth of July style
of utterance of the father, and
while grave and precise, he has a
ready flow of language that in
time may serve him a good pur-
pose as speaker. There was not
the slightest attempt at humor, or
spice of incident; the candidates
were before him and he went for
them in earnest. He said that the
Republican party was originally
composed of pure men, that if
Summer, Seward, Chase, etc. were
ROW living their principles would
prompt them to be for Hancock,
that the party had served a great
and good purpose, but had now
got into the hands of men who
were graphing at the vitals Of the

length, and he declared that if the
party had been searched through,
two worse men could not be found.
General Grants administration, he
said, had more corruption in it
than all the preceding administra-
tions of the century combined.
Mr.. Wolcott in succeeding him
dwelt fluently on measure rather
than men. He stood fairly on the
platform for tariff for revenue
only. A tariff for another purpose
he declared unconstitutional and
said that a tariff for protection
was against the interest of the
farmer and in favor Of monopol-
lists. The land grants that had
