CLERK OF PEACE
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Has Unique Distinction OF Being
Only Man Twice Elected In 100 Yrs.

Francis F. Morgan, living at Cow
erdale Cross Roads, between George
town and Bridgeville, has the unique
distinction of being the only man
within a century to twice being
elected to an Office and succeeding
himself. Mr.. Morgan on Tuesday of
last week, was for the second time
chosen clerk Of the peace for Sus-
sex county by a majority of 1,774
over his Democratic opponent, Le-
land S. White, of near Seaford.
Insofar as records are available,
he is the only man in the history of
the county who has twice been elect
ed to the same office in successive
campaigns.
Mr.. Morgan was elected for a four
year term in November. 1894, and on
Tuesday of last week was reelected
for another four year term.
He was born on a farm where he
now lives on August 2, 1884. He
graduated from the Seaford High
School and for several years was
engaged in the fruit and produce
business in Ithaca, N. Y. Twenty
two years ago he returned to his ma
tive state and took up his residence
at his birthplace and engaged in
farming. In 1928, he was elected a
member Of the lower House OF the
Delaware Legislature from the Sec
ond Representative District Of this
county and served on the agricultur-
al committee, being a prosperous
farmer at the time.
Frank w. Lawson, his present dep
uty. age 50 years, had the honor Of
being the only man to serve as
clerk OF the peace for two terms in

 Now man was picking his way up the gangplank, slowly and un- steadily, and close behind him a woman followed, glaring angrily at his broad back, and prodding him on. The man was round and pudgy, and his face gleamed like a summer sunset. He had diff culty in placing his feet in the proper grooves, and for every one step forward he stumbled back two. But he was not concerned; in fact, he was enjoying himself no less than those who watched him.
 Repeatedly the woman showed him on, but with little success. Now her face was white in anger, and Joyce wondered curiously what she'd say to him when she got him alone. She was an at tractive, imperious woman, wrapped up luXuriouSly in a dark mink

 Joyce spun around to face him. Her eyes darkened.

 When I began selecting from among the many truly great bridge players those who, on their rec ords, deserved to be singled out from the others, there was no satisfac- tory method of evaluating the rec ords.

And then, down in the lower lefthand corner: Sailing Saturday, April g."
 It was altogether true. She was here on the Empress, in her own cabin; the steward had already picked up her ticket, and in about 15 min utes she would be on her way. To the magical islands of the south on her Easter cruise!
 She turned the envelope over and tore it open.
 A blue slip fell to the floor. It was money order for $25.
 She put the money order and the letter back into the envelope and slipped it into her pocketbook. For just one fleeting instant, she was sorry that she was going. She might have spent few weeks up Ill Fall River with her aunt and uncle, the only two relatives sNe had in the world, instead of en- barking on this wild adventure.
 But it was more than that. If the blood of two centuries of sea- faring ancestors runs in your veins, if you're a stenographer in a tiny little office overlooking the river, where you can see gallant, majestic ships sail out to sea every ten minutes of the day, and if you've never been on anything bigger than a ferryboat in the en- tire 9 years of your life - we'll, then it's time to go. Even though it does take your last dollar, and you have no job when you come back.
 Of course, she wasn't going to spend every cent she had. She was sure about that. In her bag there were still six crisp $20 bills. And now this money order. The tickets for every shore excursion were bought. Suppose she spent $50 on bingle- bangles, as Aunt Martha called them, she would still return with almost $100. That would take care of her for five or six weeks, if she were frugal, and in that time she could find half dozen new jobs.
 Through the din of last-min- ute goodbys which echoed through the ships corridors, she heard the whistle. Ten minutes to sailing.
