Doves, Del., Jane 1,1885.
Editors Advertiser and Appeal: I
see'an article in a paper in yoar town
making a charge against myself and
Capt. Lodge, to this end—that to
gether we stole * colored man's wife
from BrnnswicK. So far as Captain
Lodge and myself are concerned, I
wish to say emphatically that it is an
antrath. When I was in yoar town
with schooner Bonsall, Capt. Lodge,
last September, two negro women
and a negro man came onboard and
asked passage to New York.—
Not thinking or knowing anything
was wrong about it, I told them they
could have passage on the vessel to
New York, but I myself was not go
ing on to New York in tbe vessel, as
I was going to take the cars for Wil
mington, Del.
That evening the vessel was load
ed and ready for sail. Next morniDg,
the passengers came on' board, and
then, went up town again; but later
in the evening two colored men came
on board and claimed tbe women as
their wives. I said to the mob—“if
these are your wives they cannot go
North on my vessel, and you bad
better get an officer and watch them
when they come aboard again in tbe
night, and tnke them ashore.” Bat
one of tho women proved by two wit
nesses tbat she was no man’s wife,
and said she was bound to go to New
York in that vessel with her brother.
The vessel sailed the next day for
New York, without the women, and I
took tbe cars for this place, and this
is all I bad to do with the basin ess of
stealing away a colored man’s wife.
This was last September. On n sec
ond voyage from Brunswick, after this
trip, Chptain Lodge informs me that
when twenty-four hours out from
Brunswick, a woman—whom he at
once recognized as one of tbe parties
ho wanted to go on his vessel
lost September—appeared on deck,
and stated that she bad come aboard
tjio night before leaving Brunswick,
and stowed herself away. (Presume
some of the sailors mast bavo helped
her.) The Captain and mate both
affirm most positively that they had
not the slightest knowledge whatever
of her being aboard nntil she np
pearod on deck, when too late to go
back. The Captain at once bad her
sign herself to the ship’s papers as n
“stowaway.”
This is all we know about this affair,
and wo trust that you will give pub
licity to this and request other papers
tbat copied the article iu question to
deny the statement.
I am yours truly,
. James L. Bonsali.,

ATTENTION, FARMERS.
Tbe War to Katie IrUIi Potatoes.
Mr. Burrell Lamb, of this county,
has been experimenting in raisiug
Irish potatoes, and feels sore he has
struck the key-note. His observa
tion leads bim'to think that tbe old
way is not tbe right way. His the
ory is tbat tbe manures need should
be diffused through the soil. The old
plan, be says, is to dig a deep trench,
pat the manure and potatoes together
at tbe bottom and cover well. His
objection to this is, that tbe manure
being near tbe seed causes it to form
a great quantity of small potatoes,
and being pnt down so deep they
have no room to expand, and what
few large ones tbat form are fall of
lamps, and the potato often has bard
blaok lamps in tbe centre. His plan
is to plow the manure into the soil,
then bed tbe land as for sweet pota
toes, planting the seed in tbe trench
on tbe top. His experiments this
year with this plan are most satisfac
tory. His potatoes are large and
smooth, all of a size, and when cooked
“mealy” and not lumpy in tbe centre.
The yield is mach greater, too, for
every potatoe is fall grown, having
ample room and loose soil. Mr. Lamb
will plant all bis Irish potatoes after
this plan hereafter.
We would be pleased to publish
the experiments of other farmers, not
only on potatoes, but on other arti
cles from the farm. Such an inter
change of ideas would be very benefi
cial to oar nnmeroas farming read
ers. Let us hear from yon.
Gone Home After Kevoutccn Year*’ Ab
sence.
Mr. Michnelis Kaiser left this week
for the home of his childhood, iu
Gueson, Prussia. He has not been
home since he left it, seventeen years
ago, when ouly twelve years old. He
goes back iu different style frotu his
entrance to America. Then he was a
poor boy, ignorant of our language,
our people and our laws. To-day he
goes buck, a member of one of tho
biggest firms nnd oDe of the wealthiest
men iu this section, and he made it
right here iu Brunswick. We are
quite sure his aged parents will enjoy
his presence sit home once more, and
his former schoolmates and couipau-
ioi 4 will sav to themselves, “Oh, that
I could g<> tn America, too.” Mr.
Kaiser «ili titop in the Northern mar
kets before sailing for Prussia, to
contract for shoes, clothing, eta, for
the full trade. Wo wish him a pleas
ant journey, and a safe return ti, his
friends in Brunswick.

Another Blaze.
Shortly after we bad gone to press
with last week’s edition, a fire broke
out in the vicinity of Krauss’ bakery,
which did considerable damage to
property. The fire originated in one
of Dr. Burroughs’ buildings, and soon
spread both ways, destroying in all
five buildings nnd injuring another.
Tbe steamer was on hand promptly,
Ht always is) but for want of fuel or
water, or both, was quite awhile in
getting nnder headway. Tbe hand
engine, by the assistance of Mr. T.
W. Dexter «nd the writer and n few
firemen, was next put in position
Iu the meantime, however, tho hook
and ladders had appeared on tbe
scene and begun work. In course of
time a’l were under headway, nnd tbe
flames gotten under control, not how
ever until the damage above men
tioned was done. Tbe following is
the losses sustained:
Kruuss’ bakery, damage slight; in
surauce, $500. Krauss’ residence,
almost entirely destroyed; insurance,
$1,200. Small two-story building
owned by Dr. Burroughs, iu which
fire originated, a total loss; insurance.
$G00. Single-story building owned
by Stewart of the Artesian Restau
rant; insurance on building nnd fur-
uitnre, $600. Small building owned
by Gus Adams, colored; no insurance.
CUMBERLAND ITEMS.
Excelsior! Excelsior t Excelsior I
The Excelsior Literary Sooiety of
oar pablio schools, after many draw
backs and sad disappointments, are
now about ready for tbe grand debut
upon the stage of L’arioso Hall. They
will render tbe first? evening tbe two
beantiful operettas, “Fairy Qaeen”
and “Fajry at the Fountain.” On tbe
second evening, the operetta, “Grand
pa’s Birthday,” with a repetition of
“Fairy of the Fountain." Tbe pro
ceeds of the first night go to fixing
ap the npper room of the pendetny so
as to render it more comfortable by
shutting out the cold draft from be
low stairs. Tbe proceeds of tbe sec
ond evening go as a benefit from the
young folks to Mrs. DuBignon, tbe
musical directress, who has given her
time find knowledge to tbe entertain
ment, free of cost. We enn beaVtily
recommend that we give the Excel
siors ronsing Boases both nights, for
tbe cause is trnly worthy. Apprecia
ting the fact that tbe Board of Edu
cation are .straining,every nerve to
employ teachers, the yonng folks
have determined to aid them in at
least making the school room more
comfortable. The call we say ip a
landablo one, and we shall hope to see
fall hoases. Let every patron of tbe
school be there, ns also ove^y lover
of education. As for the entertain
ment itself, tbe simple fact that Miss
Mattie Gale and Mrs. DuBignon are
in charge is enough to insure that it
won't be one whit behind former en
tertainments of tbe society, and from
what tvp can gather it wiil'far exceed all
former ones. The nights selected for
tbe above are'Wednesday and Thurs
day—17th and 18th. General ad
mission: Adults, 25 cents; school
children, 15 cents; reserved seats, 50
cents.

Dissolution.
Notice iu hereby given that tbe law
firm of Symmes it Johnson,composed
of Courtlaud Symmes and J. S. John
son, is dissolved by mutual agree
ment. Both of us will attend to auy
of firm's unfinished business, and pay
ment to t-it her of us of a debt due the
firm is authorized. The dissolution
was brought about by the following
causes: Our Mr. irymines sometime
ago having accepted the Jndgeship of
the County Court at a time when that
office was unsulhiricd, and held on
until n salary had heretofore been af
fixed, has determined to continue iu
tbe office for awhile, bv means of
which much business in tbe nature of
misdemeanor. and other matters
within the jurisdiction of that court
has been iiriveu from our firm, and
our Mr. Johnson thereby deprived ot
a share of sncjl patronage without
any compensation whatever for his
loss, for we uro t’lemly of the opinion
that it is highly improper that one
member of a firm should practice in a
court wherein bis co-partuer sits ns a
Judge, and bnd so agreed.
We tire in offices over Moore &
McCrary’s, in their new building,
where each of us will receive a Muir*

It's a Long Time Between Dbinks.'* ,
So remarked tbe Governor of South

Carolina many years ago, before tbe
temperance wave had swept .over the

est convictions, nnd so do we when
wo say, t
It’s a Long Time Between Crops.
And to this the thousands of family
bread winnere” in tbe South who are
waiting until the next crop is garner
ed before they bay Pianos and Organs
will say “amen." But we say, why wait,
when you can buy now on such easy
terms? Only think of it,
PIANOS, $25>OASH and $10 per Mo.
ORGANS, $10 CA8H and $5 per Mo.
Why, it's almost a sin to deprive
yourself and family of an Instrument
when ono can be had so easily. And
to those who cannot meet monthly in
stallments,we offer these Special Sum
mer Terms:
PIANOS, $50 CASH, BAL. NOV. 1.
