Court Denies
COPRecOunt
In Sussex Vote
High Tribunal, However,
Scores After Hour VOt-
ing And Opinion May
Go Far On Vote Issue.

An opinion handed down We'd
nesday Of this week by the State
Supreme Court may have an i'm
portant effect on an old election
custom which has been used to per-
nit scores Of persons to vote after
the 6 p. m. polling place deadiine.
Written by Chief Justice Clar-
ence A. SOutherland, the opinion,
while refusing a Republican peti-
ton for a recount of a SeafOrd dis
/ trict in last November's general
election, scored the permission Civ.
en- to some 2s4 persons to ballor
after 6 p. m.
In the light Of the opinion il is
likely election officers hencefortfi
will adhere strictly to the D. m.
closing of the polling places.
Efforts to have the voting in Del
aware in such elections extended
to p. m, assuring an opportunity
to vote for many persons who are
unable to vote earlier, have been
unsuccessful in the General As7
sembly.
Although not all of the election
officers have permitted the late vot-
ing many have simply by shutting
the polling doors at p. m. and
letting the voters remaining in
side cast their ballot.
Five Offices At Stake
Five Sussex County elective Of
fees all won by Democrats, were
at stake in the Supreme Court ac-
ton in which the Republican Party
asked for the recount.
Majorities obtained by the five
winning Democrats in SeafOrd's
second election district ran from
476 to 511, far more than enough
to assure their election in a closely
contested result.
From p. m. to 7:45 p. m, one
hour and three-quarters after the
polls were legally closed, some 284
persons were permitted to vote in
the Seaford polling place.
The Republican petition asked
that all Of these votes be declared
illegal and that If they could not
be separated from the entire vote
in the district that the entire vote
be thrown out!
The petition alleged that the pol
ling place was kept open after clos
ing time under an agreement be-
tween Lannes w. Marvel, COP
committeeman and former chair
man OF the Sussex County Repub-
lican Committee, and State Sena-
tor r. Allen Cannon. chairman of
the Sussex County Democratic
Committee.
violation Found
The Supreme Court, in Chief JUS
tice SOutherland's opinion, found
that the election law had been viO-
lated beyond question.

party leaders to hold the polls open,

TO OUR READERS

For months past it has been apparent that the
price of the Milford Chronicle must be increased
to aid in meeting the added costs of publication.
The only question with us has been "HOw low can
we hold the increase?"
Beginning January 1, 1852, the yearly paid in
advance" price of the Milford Chronicle will be $3.50
per year Copies sent out of the State will remain
at the present $500 per year rate Single copies will
sell for 6 cents each.
All subscribers who desire to renew their sub
scriptiOns between and January 1st, may do so
for the present price-S2.0O per year. During the
period from until January 1st we will also accept
three year (new or renewal) subscriptions, paid in
advance, for $500.
We urge you to take advantage of the present
price between now and January 1st.
This action our part is taken with the great
est reuctance-and only after the great jump in the
price of newsprint, postage and other publication
costs have made it necessary Most of the Delaware
weekly newspapers have already raised their sub
scrptiOn rates They, too were compelled by ncreas-
ed production costs to take this step.

Tom Trib6ett Hero
of MispiLIiOn Rescue
Richard Daugherty Near
Victim OF Tragedy Last
Saturday Afternoon

A Young boy rescued from drown
ing in the MispilliOn River near the
municipal light plant on Saturday
afternoon last, walked OF after be-
ing revived, and his identity was
not learned until some hours later.
Hero Of the rescue was Thomas
Tribbett, an emplOye Of the City Of
Milford, who jumped fully clothed
into the river to save the child.
Tribbett was working at the light
plant when he heard screams COM
ing from the rear Of the pssnt,
which extends along the bank Of
the river. He ran out the back door,
and saw a young boy struggling in
the water and a small girl and boy
on the bank calling for help.
Seeing that the boy was sinking,
TTibbett did not even remove his
shoes as he jumped in the river
and swan to the spot where he saw
the child, sink apparently for the
last time. AS he reached the spot,
Tribbett noticed the child's arm
beneath the surface.
Grabbing the arm, Tribbett pulled
the boy to shore, but was unable to
get him on the bank as he himself
was sinking in the soft mud at the
shore line.
However. by that time. wOrkmen
at the plant arrived and assisted
in getting the boy to shore. He was
revived quickly. but during the con-
fusion that followed. managed to
disappear with his companions.
II was learned later that the boy
was seven-year-old Richard Daugh-
eFty, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Daugherty Of Second and North
Walnut Streets. The children were
playing along the river when Henry
toppled over the bank into the
stream and was carried out by the

Milk Prices Advance
One Cent Quart Oct. l
Advance Made Necessary Due To
Increased Costs OF Production

AS the Milford Chronicle prepar-
ed for press, advices were received
from the operators Of Milford dair-
les that effective Monday, October
1st, the price of milk in Milford
would advance one cent per quart.
According to local dairymen they
we're quite reluctant to make the
advance, but explained that mas
much as they absorbed an earlier
increase in the cost of production,
without passing the same on to con-
sUmers, and their margin Of profit
is very slim. with labor, raw milk,
etc. still advancing, they had no
alternative, but to up the price.
The present price increase is
general throughout the country and
in some areas, the price of milk
has gone up as much as three and
onG-half cents per quart.
