CHAPTER NEWS. NRah{Jn Nho~%ar

Stimulated by patriotic desire to keep the old Veterans housed through the gen. erosity of that good man, Col. J. M. Falkner at Mountain Creek, the Mobile Chapter. U. D. C.. gave boat excuur- sion across the bay on the evening of July 10.
 The steamer Heroine carried a goodly number of young people, and the several committees appointed worked hard to make 1t a success, and feel greatly en- scouraged as they turned over more than $lS0. Ice cream, cake and lemonade was Served in the cabin, sandwiches and coffee from another part of the boat. An excel lent band discoursed sweet music en voyage. At Towards wharf the young people fiocked to the pavilion and danced for an hour, the warning whistle of the boat all too soon calling them on board for the .homeward trip. A few miles from shore the shaft of the boat broke, and many anxiously watched the movements of the hands, fearing they would have to make a night of It." By slow, hard work the boat was propelled to the Mo bile wharf. reaching there soon after l a. m. Good humor prevailed and despite the slow trip back all united in declar- ing they had a jolly time.

DEMOCRATS HUNTING FOR A LEADER.
Hear that Governor HUM Will be Run Again
and Want Strong OppOuent for Him.


and Want Strong Opponent for Him.
The intention of the Union Repub-
licans to renominate Governor Hum,
which has recently been made known
in an interview by Senator Alice,
says the Morning NetOs, has set the
Democratic voters to talking over
strong man to run against the present
executive. Many of the Kent and Sus-
sex Democrats, who declare that the
people were warned of Governor
Hunn's closeness to Addlcks when he
was first nominated, believe that Peter
J. Ford, the Democratic standard
bearer of three years, is the man to
bring out against Governor Hum,
not only because the fight could now
be made on direct anti-Addicks lines,
but because Ford is a stronger runner
and man beyond the control of any
man or faction. Other leading Demo-
Gratis contend that former Governor
Tunnel, if he would accept it, could
be nominated with the assurance that
he would receive the support of every
Democrat in the State and hundreds of
Regular Republicans, even though the
latter has a ticket in the field. William
Salisbury of Dover, is also mentioned
as a Democrat who would receive a
strong measure of support from the
auti-Addicks Republican ranks.
On the other hand Republican lead
ers are charging that the Democrats,
if successful in the Wilmington city
election, propose to make a coup"
with their winner there, and are
prophesying that, beyond doubt, If
Colonel James P. Winchester carried
off the mayoralty prize, the Democrats
intend to take him up as their stand
ard bearer in the next state campaign.
By an old-time custom, Kent county is
entitled to the Democratic nominee for
governor this time, but the Demo
cratic struggle to rout Addicks may
break down all custom and rules of the
past.

yield, from a percentage condition
of 92.6, will be 5O1, 500, 900 bushels.
This, he says, will be bumper yield.
Mr.. Lyle says:
can average of the area and produc-
ton of winter wheat in the United
States on the last five years, 1S9S-19O2
inclusive, is about 81, 200, 900 acres and
375, 800, 900 bushels in official figures.
Commercial estimates are greater. The
area now given for the crop this year is
33, 1O7, 900 acres and reduction of 1853,
900 acres from previous figures. On
May conditions in five years averaging
81. the yield has been 1881 bushels
per acre. On the basis of the five
crops there is suggested, on May
condition of 1915, a production of SOL
500, 900 bushels. Some deterioration
since May may lower the figures to
about 400, 900, 900 bushels
Smyrna times., 1903-05-13

ESTIMATES Of the yield of winter
wheat, as compiled from the Govern
Eneut crop report issued Monday even
ing, indicates shrinkage in bushels
from 5S9, ALI, 900 on April last to SAC,
285,O0O on May last. These estimates
are made by J. G. Brown, the statis-
tician of the Produce Exchange. The
average condition of the growing crop
on May was 92.6. as compared with
g7.S April 1. The general impression
IN the trade was that the crop report
was favorable AS compared with
former years, the indicated yield this
season is a bOunteous one.
The crop damage rumors in circula-
tion soon after the frosty spell late in
April led many to believe that there
would be a agreater deterioration shown
in the condition Of the growing crop
than was revealed in the report this
evening. In brief, the report showed
the extent of damage done by declin,

tion, accompanied by the destruction

THE Bogus Degree" Mill is still in
evidence. Our readers will find on the
second page an interesting story taken
from the Baltimore NetOS, showing
how these "Mills" are operated. One
has been discovered in Baltimore right
under the shadow of Johns Hopkins
University, and the story is nauseat-
ing to educated people everywhere.
Some time ago the TIMES looked into
the degree getting business and
learned with much surprise prominent
ministers and professional men in the
State were wearing borrowed plum
age" Recently the press of the State
had more or less to say concerning the
Delaware University, another bogus
degree mill. The Baltimore NeOS
story is fair sample of these mills
only that in this case it is operated by
six negroes and degrees can be bought
for So a piece. What a disgrace this
''sheepskin' business has become
when compared with the life of dill
gent student who spends four years or
more in some creditable college or
university burning the midnight oil
and wins on his Own merits an honor
ary degree. If these honorary de-
grees are to amount to anything, it is
high time these "bogus degree mills
were being suppressed.

STATE AID FOR AMBITIOUS STUDENTS.
Ambitious Young Men and Women Given the
Opportunity For Higher Education.


The question of how many young
men and women in Delaware want the
State to help them get higher educa-
tiOn caused joint meeting of the three
county school commissions of the
State at Dover Friday. The com
missions consisted of Benjamin A.
Groves, Elias N. Moore and Andrew
8. Eliason, for New Castle county;
Herman P. Hazel, Thomas G. Roe aud
Theodore Townsend, of Kent county,
and James B. Gilchrist and Joseph A.
Cahall, of Sussex county; Henry A.
Houston, the Democratic member
from Sussex, has had to resign be-
cause of his holding a Federal Office,
that of Congressman.
The commission met jointly to adopt
a uniform system of application and
award for the State aid to be given un-
der bill passed by the Legislature to
better equip teachers for the public
schools of the State. The bill allows
any student whom the commission
shall designate, State aid to the extent
of So per week. There are 40 weeks
of the Normal School term and the
average charge there is S. per week,
including board Thus, where the stu
GENT is fortunate enough to be assisted
by the State with her 50 a week, the
tuition Is virtually paid by the State
and the student has merely to pay his
or her board. The commissions esti-
mated that thirty-six and probably
forty students could be thus aided by
this new legislation, at least twelve
from each county. This is many more
than they now have applications for.
Nine have applied from New Castle
county and six from Kent county. The
commissions will now receive applica,
tions upon the formal blanks as soor
as they are issued, so that the student.
may receive the State money begin
ming September 1.

THE temperate e people of the State
of Delaware could not have selected
more enthusiastic worker, g man
better fitted to head the Delaware
State Temperance Alliance as its pres
ident than the Rev. Vaughan S. Col
lins. He has entered the campaign
with vim and earnestness that is
calling forth favorable comment by
the people and the press everywhere
and there is every indication that his
efforts will meet with success. The
Morning Ne1VS in giving cOmplimeE-
tary mention to Rev. Vaughan 5.
Collins, says she is man of action as
we'll as of words. He has sounded III
no uncertain and compromising Ian
guage, the slogan Of war against the
anti-temperance interests and the cor
ruption of the ballot Lately Mr.. Col
Inns has preached two powerful ser
mons from his Smyrna pulpit. In the
first he assalled the forces of intem-
perance, scathingly denounced the
tlmld legislators who refused to per-
NIT the people to vote on the question
of local option and practically chal-
lenged the advocates of rum and
cocktails to what must be a bitter
combat at the polls. The circulars,
printed in vermilliOn ink, placarding
the legislators who refused the petit
tion of the temperance people and the
sermons of Mr.. Collins indicate the
red hot time that is' promised in the
next campaign. Mr.. Collins is rein
forced already by that sturdy pillar of
temperance, the Rev. Alfred Smith
who, freed from the hamperings o a
regular pastorate, will shoot hither
and thither through the State dealing
blows for temperance wherever possi-
BILE. In addition, according to re-
ports, Mr.. Collins has practically
summoned one of the adroit temper
ance fighters of the anti-SaloOn
League to aid in the battle and alto
gether there will be political stirring
up next year which will make history
in this State. The temperance cam
paign, too, is to be conducted on GER
tain definite close lines. There will
be no "shot gun prescription" busi-
ness, as the druggists say, about it
but the alliance will attempt to land q
certain number of voters, as many as
possible, in each district who will
pledge themselves to make war to the
knife on any candidate for the Gen.
eral Assembly who refuses to bind
himself to support the motion foi
local option.
Gas it is the votes that count, and no
conversation, the success of the tenn
perance propaganda will depend upon
the number of voters that the Temper
.ance advocates can line up unde
this direct plan of the alliance. Their
is no doubt that they will show
gOodly number Mr.. Collins has alsC
hurled clerical thunderbOlts at briber,
and political corruption. He wisel
did not direct his remarks to any par
ticular party but sternly denouncet
all politicians Of all parties who en-
gage in the corruption Of the suffrage
