elementary building was 4S1. The
enrolment, while not considered
complete at this date of publication,
was as follows: Grade 100; grade

grade 5-93.
The total enrolment at the new
building including grade 6 was $50.
The enrollmept at the Junior-Sen-
ior High School Building was con-
sidered less complete than the en-
rollment at the elementary school
on account of the fact that many
young people of school age are
working wherever they find an Op-
portunity to earn something during
the work season. The enrolment
follows: Grade 6-105; grade Z
100; grade $50; grade 9-1O5.
These three grades constitute the
Junior High School and together
form separate department within
the school organization.
The Senior High School grades

DEMOCRATS ARE
INTERESTED IN
GOVERNOR FIGHT
Three Candidates Have
Announced Themselves
From Sussex County
VINYARD IS IN RACE
Milford Mayor Making
Aggressive Fight; Layton
And Deputy In The Race

There has developed in Sussex
county a three-cornered race in the
battle to secure the Democratic nom
ination for governor and in this tri-
angular struggle there have been
many moves made during the past
week.
Democrats of the lower county are
claiming the right this election to
name the party's nominee for the
States executive officer and with
this in view many candidates in Sus-
sex have bobbed up in the field, but
according to opinion of many there
are only three really in the cam
paign at the present time who are
making a showing towards securing
this honor.
According to active Democratic
workers who are shaping the ticket
the fight at the present time appears
to center around l.. l.. Layton, of
Georgetown; Wilson M. Vinyard, of
and Willard +. Deputy, of
Laurel. These three candidates are
an active campaign through
the county and are lining up dele
gates for the convention of this
month.
Landreth L. Layton is a wholesale
grocer, of Georgetown, and his bust
ness relation has been in all dis
tricts of the. county. Through his
acquaintance he has secured many
pledges of support and his aggressive
has placed him in a strong
position.
Wilson M. Vinyard, Milford, is a
and at the present time
Is Mayor of this city He also is
making an aggressive fight for the
His supporters are touring Sus-
sex county in an effort to secure del
egates in the various districts. and
here is no question but what he
will have to be reckoned with in the
inal count.
Willard F. Deputy, of Laurel, who
was the last of the trio to announce
lis candidacy, is a lumber dealer
who has been a central figure IN
Democratic politics for many years.

20 LIQUOR CASES
LISTED IN L. s. COURT

The atmosphere of the Sep
tember term of the U. S. Dis
trict Court, scheduled to open
in Wilmington the week of Sep
tember 13, promises to be
damp" There are about 70
cases to come before that jur-
isdiction in which violations
of the liquor laws are charged.
However, inasmuch as many
of the defendants probably will
plead guilty, as in previous
terms, Judge John P. Nields
will not actually hear the en-
tire 40 odd cases. Federal
agents in the past three or
four weeks have been unusual
ly active in making raids and
arrests, practically all of
which have been in lower Del
aware. U. S. Commissioner
Albert F. Polk has been hear
ing the cases, and has held
nearly all of the defendants
for the District Court.

SUSPECTED RUM BOATS
HELD BY COAST GUARD

Two speed boats, believed by
the Coast Guard to be rum
runners, were taken into GUS
tody on Saturday after the
Coast Guard Boat 2O9, under
command of Captain w. H.
Penny; had pursued the ves-
sells from near Chincoteague
Island to Atlantic City.
The boats were observed
near ChincOteague and ordered
to halt and when they failed to
do so shots were fired at them
but the operators ignored the
shots and continued on their
way. Arriving at Atlantic
City the boats were taken in
tow by the Coast Guard and
returned to Lewes.
No Illicit liquor was found
aboard the boats and no ar
rests were made pending an
investigation by the authori-
ties. The boats are So foot

Mix Cow Total In State
Greater Than That Of 1881
Surrey ShOUs Production HeGUier Than For Same
Period Last Year; Decrease In Size Of Pig Crop
Due To Smaller Average LitterS Last Spring

That the number of milk cows on
Delaware farms is about three per
cent greater than last year, and that
the number seems likely to increase
slightly during the remaining
months of 1882 is indicated by a sur
vey made by Richard C. Ross, agri-
cultural statistician for Delaware,
in cooperation with rural mail car
riers. The survey covered $40 farms
this year and includes data from all
sizes and types of farms.
Milk production per cow was in
dicated to be somewhat heavier than
at the same time in 1881, being re-
ported at 1879 pounds per day per
cow MIXED and 1880 pounds per
COW in herd, as compared with 1855
pounds per COW MIXED and 14.21

foreign nations should bs followed
seems . small matter. Yet It sufdced
to make It possible to announce that
there had been no accord between the
outgoing and the incoming administrs-
ton. President Hoover might yet, II
he sees at, accept the idea presented by
Gov. Roosevelt and begin conversations
with Great Britain, France and the
other debtors. But then, as has been
indicated, he probably would have the
Congress at him again.
The Congress has maintained q con-
trolling hand over the debts from the
beginning. Here was no ordinary treaty.
The question was that Of lending the
money Of the American Government,
raised by taxation and bond issue from
the American people. On such matters
the Congress has never delegated to the
executive branch Of the Government
authority to act.
Since the President-elect was able to
find himself in accord with the Presi-
dent on other fundamental matters re-
lating to the debts, it seems matter OF
regret that he could not go to the length
Of accepting the Presidents recon-
mendations for the authorization OF
Congress to discuss the debts with the
debtors. The President-elect backed
away. too. from a decision in the mat
ter of the payments due December Is,
saying:
As to the debt payments due Decem-
ber is, f1nd no justification for modi-
flying my statement to the President on
November IA, when PORTED out that
'the immediate question raised by the
British, French and other notes creates
q responsibility which rests upon those
now vested with legislative and execu-
tive authority"
It looks as though the hands of the
Government, so far as dealing with the
debtors are concerned, had been pretty
well tied until after March 4. Before
the next year closes the Democrats may
wish they had let q Republican Presi-
dent deal with this problem.

Calls for the Issue
OF Two.Metal Money
TO the Editor Of Ths star:

10 Too Gditor 0x xuH 6t8rs
Constantly, day after day, the two
words sound money" attract every
newspaper readers eye in these United
States. especially In the North and
East. What is sound money! In
the United States it means gold coined
or in gold bullion owned and held in
the United States. This money-gold Is
supposed to represent, in whole or in
part, all our issued paper note currency,
whether held in the United States
Treasury, the banks, or in circulation
in the pockets Of the people.
Our national, State, county, municipal
and total Indebtedness Is payable in the
dollar-the gold dollar. This Is an i'm
possibility, money-u1yth, fiction, which
makes the so-called gold dollar worth
now, in purchasing power OF every KIND,
equal to not 100 cents to the dollar, but
near to 100 cents, while our agricultural
products and manufactured goods are
at the lowest selling prices IN the Ma
tion's history.
There is not enough Of money gold
coined, and gold bullion, and there
never has been under the single gold
standard, In the United States now to
redeem in gold dollar value the issued
paper, currency held by the Govern
nent, banks and In the peoples pockets
Our gold certificates are redeemable
In gold. Federal Reserve bank notes
have but 40 per cent Of gold behind
each dollar. Greenbacks to the face
value Of $4o0 900, 900, more or less, fun
legal tender, are now boarded In the
banks as reserve. Few or none IN cir
culation. Is the greenback simply nat
money or also redeemable IN gold? Sill
yer certificates are redeemable In silver
dollars-equal, you are told, to gold dol
lars. Well, try the United States Treas
ury or any bank and see II either VIII
pay out to you gold for silver certifl-
cate. National bank notes and Fed
eral bank notes, in part, are issued upon
deposit of United States bonds, which
are but promises to pay in gold, and
upon commercial notes, more promises
to pay. Thus largely we have q bank
note paper, credit currency, based upon
a promise to pay in gold United States
credit bond. A credit currency largely
based upon q credit bond. A credit
upon a credit. And all this due to the
single gold standard and called sound
money"
The whole civilized world needs gold
and silver as money. Then there will
be-and only then-sound money, hard
money" There is now in the possession
of the United States Government, paid
for, about 1000 ,00o. 900 ounces of silver
bullion. Why has not this silver bullion
been coined into silver dollars2 The
West and Middle West would gladly ac-
cept the actual silver dollars; the North
and East silver certificates in lieu Of

A Southpaw Excels.
From the Toledo Blade.

from Lno IoIeoo 6lhoe.
Husking 46 ears Of corn during each
minute Of the contest, Carl Seller, young
Illinois farmer, won the American
shucking championship IN the presencs
Of $4,000 witnesses. Beating the II
other entrants, he husked nearly %
bushels Of corn In 80 minutes. Ear by
ear, a bushel In. 2 minutes is q record
Of skill and endurance which viii not
soon be shattered.
1t transpires now that Seller is left
handed. In his case, as with some ball
pitchers who have become famous, left
handedness Is an advantage and not
O handicap as It Is to many boys and
girls whose teachers and parents insist
that the young southpaws must learn
to use table utensils, pens and pencils
with the right hand.
Scientists may explain In detail why
most persons are naturally right
handed, some left-handed. It Is enough
for all practical purposes to know they
are born that way, just as most horses
trot and some fall into q pacing gait
without training.
Left to their own devices, most
naturally left-handed persons will ad-
Just themselves to circumstances and
the use Of tools designed for the right
handed. They become the more nearly
anfhidextrous.
Possibly the new corn shucking cham
pion and others prominent among those
of the left hand inclination may per-
suade the busybodies who try 10
thwart or reform nature In its selec-
ton Of one side or the other for efi-
cheney, to let well enough alone.

from experience that the rank and file

selves. If they come to Washington
they cannot be permitted to starve and
they cannot be permitted to 60 without
