COLORED DISTRICT CONFERENCE.

nesday and Thursday.

Prominent colored men from all
parts of the Peninsula came to Dover
Wednesday to attend the two days
session of the District Conference of
the Philadelphia Annual Conference S
Wilmington District A. NJ. E. church.
The sessions were held all day in the
Church on Kirkwood street, presided
over by presiding Elder j. B. STAINS

the election of G. G. Wilson as secre-
tary, and P. P. Gaines as assistant
secretary. Licenses of local preach
ers serving in this district were gone
over and renewed. DIR. H. H. Butler,
pastor of Bethel Church, Wilmington,
made very strong address on "The
Growing Acceptance of Christianity by
the Jews"
The colored people of Delaware are
realizing that there is more IN life to
live for than mere temporary enjoy
ment and heeting pleasure, said the
Rev. J. NJ. Taylor in a strong address
before the A. NJ. E. Conference Thurs
day. In every quarter they are in
creasing their earnings and saving
what they make more than they have
ever been known to do. The property
held by the people of Sussex county
alone, where we have fewer of our race
than in any other county of Delaware,
has increased to $4,000 on the tax
books. And everywhere throughout
the State, better churches are going
up, church buildings are being i'm.
proved, pastors are receiving better
living salaries and, best of all, debts
are being paid. Besides this, the
condition of the church is growing bet
ter and there is stronger manifesto.

ence closed Thursday night after ac
cepting an invitation to attend tn,

CAMDEN CAMP BREAKUP
FOLLOWED BY TWO MORE
PRESIDING ELDER BAKER ANNOUNCES
THAT WYE AND CONCORD ARE OFF.
The Abandonment of Camden Camp the
Subject of Much Conversation in Kent
County and There are Many Regrets.

The abandonment of Camden Camp,
which was booked to commence to- day,
Wednesday, for two weeks meeting,
is an important topic of conversation
throughout this vicinity to-day. While
the number of tenters has been rap
idly diminishing, those who still ten
ted in the grove for the two weeks
looked forward to the campmeeting as
a time of great interest and enjoyment.
On the two Sundays of camp the atten-
dance was over 10, 900 which was known
as "Big Sunday" On the big days of
camp, people gathered from all parts
of Kent county, and during political
campaigns, many politicians came to
the woods to talk over the prospects
for their favorite at the coming cleo
ton. Campmeetings have been held
on the ground since 1856, with the ex-
ception of few years during the
civil war. For many years in its early
history Camden Camp was the Mecca
for Methodists from all parts of the
country, and fully 300 tenters were on
the grounds. Many Philadelphians,
BaltimOreans andpeople from all parts
of the Peninsula and Delaware
swarmed to this great religious gath
ering, stage coaches and other SINH
lar vehicles being used to make the
journey. Each of these companies
had tent. in which services were
held continuously when there was no
preaching at the auditorium.
OF late years the campmeeting has
become merely social gathering and
and the young women in attendance
We'd with each other in displaying
gowns.
Presiding Elder Baker has an
nounced the discontinuance of Wye
and Concord camps, which, with Cam
den, are three of the largest camps on
the Peninsula.
Hebron camp, near Salisbury, will
begin on July 81, in charge of the Rev
G. W. Strickland, Of Quantico circuit.
The camp grounds have been en-
closed and an admission fee will bt
charged to the services.
Parsonburg camp, another popular
Peninsula camp meeting, will begin OIL
August 16, and continue for ten days
The Rev. d. F. McFaul is the minis
ter in charge.

Three choice calves were kept to

used by family is not included in
the account.
AS a gallon OF milk weighs ten

The writer has been informed that
the Delaware Railroad Superintendent
is desirous of encouraging this traffic
and if a sufficient quantity of milk
were sent at one time the charge would
be half cent gallon and refrigera-
tor car furnished to carry the milk in
order to keep the milk cool and sweet.
This car might be attached to the last

at 5. 10 A. NJ. whichever might suit best

DELAWARE'S FRUIT EXHIBIT.
Buffalo Exhibit Must be Improved II Prof.
Webb can Induce Grangers.

Professor Wesley Webb, who has
charge of the Delaware fruit exhibit
at the Buffalo Exposition, has been
in the lower part of the State trying to
get the fruit growers there to take an
interest in the matter.
1t is thought that the growers may
conclude to make a better exhibit for
those who have seen the one which is
now maintained at Buffalo are ashamed
Of it and either want better one made
or the present one taken away.

About year ago the Hawaii Govern
ment undertook to burn up some
plague infected buildings, and in SO
doing set fire to the local Chinatown,
thus sowing the seed of a crop of
claims now nearly ready for harvest
ing. A million and half was appro-
driated to meet them, but they already
exceed So, 900, 900 and are still coming

MILK PRODUCT CAN Be
PROFITABLE TO FARMERS
BY COOPERATION, FARMERS CAN GET IL
CENTS PER GALLON FOR MILK.
An Interesting Article by One of Our Well
Known Farmers Setting Forth the Ad.
vantages to be Derived.

One of the most profitable branches
of farming in Kent county, Del, at
the present time, if not in all parts of
the State, when properly managed and
intelligently directed and attended to,
is a herd of good buttricious milk Civ
ing COWS. Farmers who keep twelve or
fifteen COWS and do not give them the
attention that they resuire and should
receive, can have no knowledge of the
profit that they may obtain from them
when given proper feed, care and
milking. 1t has always seemed to the
writer, who himself is farmer, that
too many men have engaged in farm
ing because it was the easiest way to
earn the best and most comfortable
living for themselves and families, be-
cause if they rent farm, they have no
house rent or taxes to pay, and with
the vegetables, poultry and eggs,
which they grow all the best, beside
wheat and corn in the barn to make
bread and cake, they can have good
living above the average of the human
family who toll from early morn till
dewy eve, and who start to work in
the morning leaving home with tin
bucket on their arm filed with cold
food for dinner. After the labor OF
the day is over, they return home long
- all
the same, they must get up and go to
their daily work while the farmer dur
ing stormy weather can sit by his fire
side resting his weary limbs awaiting
clear weather and the ground to get in
condition to work and plant and culti-
vate. With these conditions, a sort of
slow and gO-easy awaiting for TIE
crops to grow and ripen, the average
farmer gives but little thought to the
business side of the occupation in
which he is engaged and here is just
where he loses dollars to earn cents
They seem to be slow to learn
or do not care to know that BY
cooperation with each other ant
by combination together they coulC
save money in working theil
farms, money in the purchase o.
agricultural implements, money in the
purchase of seed grain, money in the
hire of labor to work their farms anG
money in the sale of the products ot
--tae farm, whether it be berries, fruit
grain, hay, poultry, eggs, pigs, hogs
fat cattle, cows, calves, sheep or lambs
and the milk which has become one O
the most valuable farm products an(
by cooperation, farmers can get NOR,
than double the money they are nov
receiving for it and instead of deliver
ing their milk six weeks to a creamer,
before they are paid for it, and thel
during the summer months when the!
are getting the most milk from then
cows, receive but five or seven cents 1
gallon for it, depending on the butte
fat contained in the milk and the pric,

account of the milk product of a her
of twelve cows and the calves sold fo
