SATURDAY, JUNE 81, 1896.
Entered at the Postofflce at Accomac
G. H.. Va. as second-class matter.

In our last issue we had something
TO say of the successful work done at
the Margaret Academy during the
session Just ended, and we took occa-
sion to call the attention of the peo-
pie of the Eastern Shore to the merits
of this school and its claims upon
them for generous patronage and
support The best evidence of the
excellence of an academy is the sue
cess that attends its pupils when they
have passed into the higher colleges
and universities of the country.
Measured by this standard, the Mar
garet Academy has record of which
her officers and instructors may be
Justly proud. Every year some one
of her old pupils wins distinguished
honors at college or university, and
sometimes there are more than one TO
share these honors. During the past
few years pupils of this academy have
been studying at the University of
Virginia and at Harvard University
in Massachusetts. The last named is
the oldest, richest and most illus
trious educational institution of
America. 1t has more than three
thousand students representing al
most every State in the Union and
many foreign countries. In looking
over the list of graduates and honor
men at the University OF Virginia, we
find that Mr.. Sidney Kellam, of Oman
cock, was graduated in the depart.
ments of chemistry, mathematics,
French. and Latin, and Mr. Griffin
Holland, of Eastville, Va, received
the degree OF Doctor of Medicine and
the gold medal of the Washington
Society for the best debater. Mr..
s. Upshur Hopkins, of Onancock, who
has been attending Harvard Univer-
sity, has been appointed instructor in
that great school, and to add to his
his high honors already achieved, he
has secured through the recommen-
dation of the Harvard faculty very
responsible and lucrative appoint
ment for the summer months from
President Roberts, Of the Pennsvl-
vania railroad, who desired to secure
e man of high scholarship and strict
integrity to do special work OF great
Importance. There are, doubtless,
others of the old academy students
who deserve honorable mention here
for the progress made and success
achieved last session; but the e4.
amples cited above are enough to
show that we have a school here on
the Eastern Shore which challenges
comparison with the best academies
in the land, and which, measured by
the standard OF success achieved by
its pupils in the higher institutions of
learning, shows that it is fulfilling
with admirable efficiency the func-
tions OF great preparatory school
whether for college or the active
duties of life.

A prominent western newspaper
recommends flax seed tea as an ex-
cellent remedy for whooping cough.
1t may be good but it is not to be
compared with Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This preparation will aIlay
the violent fits of coughing and make
them less frequent and less severe.
1t also liquefies the tough mucous,
making it easier to expectorate.
Complete recovery is much quicker.

Is no danger in giving it to small
children, as it is a pleasant syrup and
contains nothing injurious. For sale

a party of lawless men from Mary
land, as appears from the following
dispatch published in late issue Of
the Baltimore Sun, invaded the State
OF Virginia last week and carried
away by force batteau in the law
full custody of our officers:
about thirty citizens of Asbury.
near Cristield, Md. went to Holden's
Creek, Virginia, Thursday last for the
purpose of retaking the batteau in
which Aaron Byrd and William
Moore We're captured by the vir
ginia State fishery force on June 10Th.
They arrived at their destination
about o'clock in the morning and
at once made inquiries about the
boat. They learned that the object
OF their search had been placed on
rollers, carried far inland and con-
ccaled among the reeds. They pressed
a team OF oxen into service, placed
the boat on rollers again and soon
had her back into the water
Their action in this matter is well
IN keeping with their past conduct in
our waters. Men who avail them
selves of every opportunity to invade
our territory and take our oysters
and crabs, of course, would not hest.
tate to recapture, if they could, prop
erty forfeited to the Commonwealth
OF Virginia, in which they made
their depredations into our waters
In other words, they wanted the boat
and urged on by the small fry pollti-
clans who knew they had no right tc
expect that it would be returned tc
them by the State of Virginia, they
came like freebooters and took her
Such being the facts, it will occur tt
the average Virginian that the
good offices of the Governor o.
Virginia which they have invoked, te
the end that the crab thieves now
confined in our jail should be re
leased, should be in the other direc
ton. Marylanders have no just cause
of complaint because of the arrests
recently made, and they know, it anG
there could be no more fiimsy excuse
than that upon which they seek tt
escape punishment for their acts
Beacons on the shore, even if the
waters are not marked by buoys, in
dictate too plainly the dividing line
between the two States for them t.
make the mistake of getting over 6
mile in Virginia as those did who
were recently captured in our waters
If Marylanders were caught dredg
ing in Pungoteague creek there are
come of them who would be willing
to swear that they were so near the
line, that for the sake of the GOOD
relations which ought to exist be.
tween the States no punishment
ought to be meted out to them. Oul
Governor may be tender-hearted, but
he cannot afford to lose his head in
this matter, and he certainly cannot
commit the folly of encroaching upon
the prerogatives Of the Judiciary, as
he has been requested by the Gov
ernor of Maryland, and have nolle
entered in the cases of the prisoners
recently captured.
