Church Rivalry.

The Rev r. G. Waters takes -excep-
ton to the local item printed in last
weeks issue of this paper as to the atti-
tude of the colored churches in matters
pertaining to the cOlOred public schools
in Milford. Last week the purpose Of
calling attention to the condition Of at
fairs was that the best thinking cOlored
folks might be able to meet the condi-
tions. for the best interest of the schools
The writer assures the gentleman, that
the friction has come from the other
camps in question The cOlOred peo-
ple of Milford havean excellent school
building and are doing good word in
educating their children by the aid Of
the State, and there should be no rea-
son why perfect harmony should not
reign in all their school matteis-and
this is almost literally true, for the
Board of Education is acting harmo-
niously in the management; but that
lis not the case with the factional feel
ings outside Of the school affairs, and
it appIies to'sectarian affairs with few
individuals. The original article was
clear cut on the subject, and there Is
no further use to agitate the matter.

Will Demonstrate Spraying.

The rapid spread of San Jose Scale
among the fruit trees of Delaware has
caused the farmers to look closely after
their orchards, and it is the universal
opinion that spraying is the only means
of protecting the business from this
enemy. There are sprayers of many
makes, and of various degrees of excel.
Ience; and there is an opening for a
practical and easily managed machine
of this class. Next Goth of October
Thursday, A. N. Brown, of Wyoming,
will give a public demonstration of an
automatic power sprayer that he is
using, and invites the public to witness
the machine in operation. This is an
auspicious time to set peach trees and
10 care for them and it cannot be done
without spraying; so all who cOntem-
plate growing peaches in the future,
should take this opportunity to gsin
all the information possible about the
operation of sprayeTs.

BOYS Killed Three Bears.

Three Standish boys and Louis Martin
of North Clarendon had an exciting time
with three bears on Bald mountain Sat-
urday. They were blueberrying and Leon
Standish was half a mile from the others
when he discovered two cubs, and soon
the mother bear appeared and started for
Standsh, but followed him only short
distance. Two of the boys started for
home to get guns and the other two re-
manned to watch the bears. The watch
ers had a narrow escape, as the old bear
charged upon them and forced them to
climb a spruce tree. When the gunners
arrived they soon got into action and
had all three "out of business" The
largest one weighed over 800 pounds.
