down and the sand was used in the
construction of Fort Salisbury. Soon
after the bank was removed owners
of farm land near the beach made a
complaint to the federal govern
ment and they improvised a bank of
mud with no width at the top or no
backing behind. This bank lasted
only short time as the waves have
cut through in several places.
At Fowler's Beach the storm drove
the bay water through cut which
was made by the removal of sand
from the beach to be used in the
construction of county roads. This
cut leaves no protection from the
bay for the farm and marsh lands
along this section of the coast except
for the drainage canal which was
built some years ago by the farmers
living along the coast and which
now is very inadequate. AT any high
tide the water rises through the
cut and ON to the march and farm
lands.
The salt water from the bay kills
all vegetation with which it comes
in contact and leaves the ground
unfit for growing any products for
period of at least four or five years.
The marsh lands along the coast
are used as pasture lands for cattle
adjoiing the march lands are many
acres of fertile farm lands. Now
both the farm land and the marsh
are unfit for the growing of any
vegetation for the next four or five
years.
This condition could be remedied
by either putting jetties out into
the bay or by, throwing up banks
along the coast. These banks would
have to be backed with sand and
filled in as it has been proven that
mere mud piles with no width at all
and with no backing behind them
will not suffice. In the last two ses-
sions of the State Legislature bills
have been passed and monies ap-
propriated for such work. In the
first instance the bill was vetoed
by the governor and in the second
the governor allowed the bill to die

R. D. LINGO, MAYOR
OF DAGSBORO, DEAD
[Confinaed from FkH Pagel

| lC0HIfHHed from FHu FdgeI
After being graduated from the
Dover Academy, Mr.. Lingo engaged
in farming with his father, and
then for ten years, continued in the
same lime by himself. In 1892, at
the age of "a, he discontinued this
work and came to Dagsboro. He
never altogether gave up his farm
ing interests, however, and at the
time of his death owned and operated
several farms.
Mr.. Lingo operated lumber mill
until December "a, 1919, and then
retired from the lumber business.
Since his retirement practically all
his time was given to public serv-
ice, and to his banking affiliations.
Mr.. Lingo had long been active in
politics. He was a supporter of the
Democratic party, but placed serv-
ice to the community above par
tisanship. This was a reason for
his long term as mayor of the town.
He was married in 1882 to the
former Miss Julia E. Short, of Days
boro. There are two children, Mrs.
M. L. Bishop, of Montclair, N. j., and
Mrs. E. C. Hazard, of Wilmington,
wife of John @. Hazard, president
Of Wilmington City Council and four
grandchildren.

Dahlias are in their prime
now and none are prettier than
those that Mrs. Joseph Benson
brought to this office on Tues
day morning. A wide range of
colors and the regularity and
width of the blooms spoke of the
quality of Mrs. Benson's varie
ty of dahlias. She is a lover of
all flowers and at the Kent and
Sussex Fair this year was given
a first prize for her petunias
and a second prize for ten mixed

Those who attended the recent
exhibition of paintings at Reho-
both done by Gordon Saltar
were asked to register, and as
they did so they were also asked
to name two paintings in the col
lection which they liked best.
Those who were there will be in
terested to learn that the two
chosen for first and second place
were "The Old Mill" and "The
Church by Moonlight. Some
one who saw the exhibition, and
appreciated it, speaking of "The
Old Mill, said, that the artist
was not mere copyist of Ma
ture, but an interpreter. Sun
shine, shadow and reflection are
so disposed that the grouping
makes up a truly fine illustra-
tion of scenery, and compounds
a view that charms the eye, the
whole is invested with a glow
ing delicacy, and the public
doubtless was correct in its pre-
ference for it. 1.-THE Moonlit
Church" is the manifest of true
artistic aim. There is dignity
combined with softness, and
solemnity without coldness. 1t
is vaporous, vague and yet ex-
act". The artist was grateful
for these expressions of taste.
They will serve him as a guide
to popular preference. Another
exhibit will be held next year
in the same place and at the
same time. Those who missed
it this year will keep this in
mind for another year.
