College for COlOred Students
Opened Tuesday.

The Delaware State College for
Colored Students, near Dover, re-
opened Tuesday with the most fav-
orable showing in the history of
the school. The handsome new
5000 dormitory buildings, which
will be used as a girls dormitory,
is nearly finished, thus greatly en-
larging the accommodations of the
school. The building is 38x60 feet,
four stories.and is of red brick with
white trimmings. The first floor
will be used for the chapel. library
and the offices of Principal w. c.
Jason. The two dormitories each
contain nine rooms, and in the
basement will be located the kitchen
and possibly the dining-room.
The building adds greatly to the
appearance Of the institution, and
although it will cost more than the
$4,000 appropriated by the General
Assembly, it is believed that no
objection will be made to the ex-
ira amount. Had the building not
been added the State would have
lost the 81 600 received from the
government through the Hatch and
Morrill, bills for the school. as the
institution was unable, with its ia
cilities, to accommodate a sufficient
number of students.
The farm on which the build
ings are situated, has been greatly
improved and is kept in excellent
condition by the students. 1t is
expected that the attendance will
be larger than ever in the history
of the school, even ahead of last
year, which was the banner year.

the value of the railroads of Ohio as
appraised for purposes of taxation. A

state be raised to 60 per cent. of their
value as shown by the market value of

FOR years the question was asked,
"What is the indebtedness of Sus-
sex county 7" and no one was able
to answer the question until two
years ago last March, it was found
that the entire bonded and floating
indebtedness of the county was
about seventy thousand dollars.
One year ago the amount was re-
duced to sixty-six thousand dollars
and a still further reduction, it is
confidently asserted, will be made
by next March.
The last session of the General
Assembly authorized the Levy
Court to refund the debt and to pay
off the floating Indebtedness, by is
suing bonds to the extent of fifty
thousand dollars.
Some time ago bids were accepted
for the fifty thousand dollars, at
four per centum interest, lat $Io4. 81
for each 500; but before the con
tract was consummated, the parties

reason, that the courts of Delaware
