Roads. Tavernkeeper Thomas Hale
welcomed the legislators with
open arms.
The House of Representatives
seething over the situation, drew
up a resolution, to the effect that
the General Assembly should not
be subjected to "the caprice of
any individual in the State and
that it would not be proper for
them to hold their sessions in the
town of Dover until the Levy
Court of Kent County or some
other proper authority shall ap-
propriate to their use the cham
bers in the said Court House"
The State Senate, however,
having cooled off a bit, didn't
pass this resolution and within a
few months, the differences be-
tween the General Assembly and
the sheriff were settled and the
Legislature returned to the court
house which continued as a dual
purpose building until 1873 when
it became solely the State House
of Delaware.
AS in the past, the Dover Green,
fianked by the State House, the
Kent County Court House, the old
Ridgely House, and shaded by
ancient elms, will be the heart of
the two-day "at home" celebra-
ton of Dover over the first week.

DOVER DAYS
SET FOR MAY 4
Recall Quarrel Petveen As
Sembly and County and
Moving to Smyrna
los YEARS AGO

The first of the two Old Dover
Days, May 4, IS the 165th ami
yersary of a bitter quarrel be-
tween the General Assembly and
Kent County so bitter that the
Legislature evacuated from the
Old State House on the Dover
Green and set up for business IN
nearby Smyrna.
It was on May 4, 1892, that the
iTrate legislators, threatened by
the sheriff of Kent County with
drawn sword, got out of Dover
in a hurry and settled in a tavern
kept by Thomas Hale in Duck
Greek Cross Roads, now Smyrna.
AS visitors on May and 5
wander through the historic build
ing on the Dover Green where
30 Delawareans in convention
were the first to ratify the Fed
eral Constitution-the scene will
be peaceful and dignified.
But once upon a time in Dover,
all was not so peaceful, as the
history books record.
It seems that back in 1892, the
General Assembly was merely
renting space in the old building
which is now the State House
but which in those days was also
the Kent County Court House.
In that year the construction of
this building, begun in 1887, was
being completed. A quarrel soon
developed between the General
Assembly and the Levy Court of
the County over a question of
expenses.
The fight became so bitter that
the sheriff, John Clayton-with
drawn sword, it is reported-de-
manded possession of the building
so that the Workmen could get
on with their labors.
The General Assemblys temper
also rose-and in high wrath, the
Legislators pulled out, presumably
lock, stock and records, and hur-
ried on over to Duck Creek Cross
