The STATES GROWING DEBT.
Borrowing Money to Pay Running
Expenses.

Columbia, June TN few weeks
the State Treasurer will borrow
about $500, 900 or the rest of the money
allowed by law to be borrowed any one
year. A loan of 5000, ,0C0 was effected
some time ago for the payment of
the pensions, and. while all of this
was not used, the interest on State
bonds will be>due soon and it will be
necessary to borrow more. It has
been found that in borrowing all that
can be borrowed at one time a large
amount of money is saved, as the rate
of interest is much lower. It is
thought that there will not be much
difficulty in making ends meet this
year, as the tag money will begin to
come in Just as the loan is exhausted.
Despite this, however, the appropri-
ations are over s1oo, 900 greater than
last year, and there is no Government
claim of $50, 600 to help the State out.
The mistake in the franchise tax
law caused a big deficit, which was
evidently not looked for by the Legis-
lature, and it is estimated that this
knocked the State out Of about $780,

DELLWlRE TO NOMINATE GRAY.
Democratic State Convention In
structs Delegates to St. Louis
TO Nominate Judge Gray for
President.
Judge Gray is Not a Candidate.

Dover, Del, June CONTRARY to
the expressed wish pf Judge George
Gray, tie Delaware Democratic State
convention by unanimous vote today
instructed its delegates to the st.
Louis national convention to present
the name of Judge Gray to the con-
vention as the choice of the Delaware
Democracy for president and to work
for his nomination.
This action was taken after one of
the most stormy conventions ever held
in the State. The leader of the oppo-,
sition to the Gray resolution was For
mer Uni;ed States Senator Richard E.
Kenney, who was opposed to the word
"instrucb.' He offered resolution
that the delegates be requested" to
place Judge Gray's name before the
national convention.
The fight between the Gray and the
anti. Gray factions became SO bitter
that the former paid no attention to
Judge G:ay's letter in which he asked
that the delegates be not instructed.
they fought to defeat Kenney and
would not listen to anything that his
supporters offered Judge Gray's let
ter was written to David T. Marvel
of Wilmington. In it Judge Gray ex-
pressed his great anxiety for harmony
in the Democratic party this year and
held that the national convention
should he left free to select as candi-
date for president the strongest and
most available man. He therefore re-
! quested that the delegates selected to
represent Delaware Democrats at ST.
Louis be not bound by instructions,
but be left free to act as che best in
terests Of the Democratic party seem
ed to require.
Judge Gray knew nothing of the
action OF the convention until inform
ed by reporters tonight. In reply to
question as to whether the action Of
the convention would change his at
titude he said:
q have not changed my attitude
at all. l am not candidate for pres
ident. The instructions were against
my expressed wishes. -

The Weekly Crop Report.

Washington, June THE weather

ditions say:
AS whole there has been quite a
decided improvement in the condition
of cotton over nearly the whole of the
cotton belt. The crop has, however,
suffered some damage in Oklahoma
and Indian territories from overfows
and from insufficient moisture in scat
tered localities in Louisiana. Rapid
growth and good state of cultivation
are generally indicated. Boil weeyils
are increasing rapidly and doing con-
siderable damage in a number Of
southwestern and south central coun-
ties in Texas.
The week has Sbeen ptionally
favorable for transplanting tobacco,
and this work has advanced satisfac-
torily, having been completed in
Tennessee and North Carolina and
about three-fourths finished in Ken
tucks aud Virginia.
In the extreme northern States
there is an encouraging outlook for
apples, but in the central Mississippi
and Ohio valleys and middle Atlantic
States the prospects appear to be
'somewhat impaired by extensive drop
ping. In Che Southern States good
crop of peaches is indicated.

that the buttons of femme clothes are
On the wrong side-or rather, since
women which are wrong. that mems
buttons are On the right side of the
wearer, and women's on the left.
This popularity Dr.. Shaw ascribed,
not to feminine perversity, but to the
fact that those who set women's fash

dress them, from whom this position
was more convenient.

SCHOLARSHIPS IN WINTHROP.
Whe are Qualified and the New

mencement there is g sort of casting
mp Of accounts, taking stock, as it
were, and sort OF re-arrangement of
all details. During each year there
are noted defects in details, changes
needed in all machinery, but these
cannot be attended to at the moment.
They must wait until after commence
.ment.
Each year there are some changes
in the teaching force. There are
about forty instructors in all, and in
this number some, each. year have
new plans, new fields, new work. At
the meeting OF the board, held June
/. several new teachers were elected.
Among them were: Miss. Sarah I.
Grant, of Mayesville; Miss Grant is
graduate of the Winthrop Training
School and has taught with success
for some years in Darlington.
Miss Jessie Whitman will be at the
head of the department of physical
culture. She is trained teacher,
and graduate of the Normal School
of Gymnastics, the special aim of
which is to train teachers Of gymnas-
tics.
Miss Anna Custis Burgess, Of Sum-
merton, was elected as assistant teach
er in music. She had careful training
and experience.
The board took. definite action under
the Act of the Legislature increasing
the value of the scholarships. This
is matter of some Importance to
many. Pupils who hold scholarships
under the old Act must comply with
the terms of the new Act, except that
those who now hold the regular four
year scholarships will not be required
to stand another examination. In all
other respects they must meet the re-
quirements. The amount now allow
ed, 500. lacks only. four dollars of
meeting all college expenses at Win
tbrop. It does not cover the cost of
uniform, but the cost Of this has been
found to be less than the amount
usually required for dress at home.
Those, then, who are so fortunate
as to win the scholarships become
really able to educate themselves, and
thus secure the reward they have
earned by faithful work in school.
The form of application adopted by
the board shows plainly the conditions
with which each applicant must COM
ply. This form is as follows:
To the chairman Of the board Of
trustees Of Winthrop Normal and In
dustrial College:

Uncertain, coy
And hard to please,
Why do you
Hold your dresses so
When on the streets
You're pleased to &c?
Say, ladies, are you quite aware
The way you hold them
Makes folks stare
And wonder
Not little bit
If they are made
So tight to fit?
Or, are you
To their snugness blind
Because you cannot
See behind9
To learn why people
Grin and pause,
Or do you
Do it just, because?
If you are thin
It's not so bad
When you are somewhat
Thickly clad;
But if you
Have fgure-why
Words fail to tell
What meets the eye.

Which we see

Please, this very day,
And hold your skirts
