LYNchINo CHARGES IGNORED
Delaware jury Does Not Indlct Those
Accused of Burning White.

Accused of Burning White.
Wilmington, Del, Sept. 30.-The
grand jury of this county came into
court and announced that it had de-
cided to ignore the bill of complaint
against eight persons charged with
being implicated in the burning at the
stake last June of George White, the
colored murderer of Miss Helen
Bishop. The jury completed its work
in connection with the lynching and
was discharged by the court.
One of the jurors said that there
was a great difference of opinion
among the members of the jury as to
what should be done with the report
submitted to the jury from the judges
of the court. but that the jury had
almost unanimously decided that the
members had but one thing to say that
the courts made mistake in not see
ing that it was necessary to provide
for speedy trials of such cases as that
of White.
Had it been a case in which the
guilt was not admitted, the jury said
this member would have acted without
any conjunction in the matter and all
concerned would have been indicted.
The juror then said:
Il feel that an error in judgment has
been made and the grand jury members
are not the proper persons to take the
blame of so important matter from
the court, The man got only what he
deserved and l would take part myself
in lynching such brute"
The persons against whom the grand
jury ignored bills are George w.
Curry, Fred Lyon, William Wood, Will
liam Akler, Nathan Baker, James f.
Early, Clayton White and James A.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
: marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.

was almost definitely settled t.
build an agricultural Hall.
Under The present system the

department. are in separate
buildings, situated upon various
parts OF the campus. This hall
would be a great Improvement;
and it is hoped the board at It's
June meeting will see fit to have
1t erected.
During the past six months
much attention has been given to
beautlfying the campus. Trees have
been put out on both sides of the
different walks, and strawberries
and flowers have been planted In
various parts of the campus. Now
since spring has come, it certainly
presents pleasing aspect to the

that Clemson will have one OF
