BOARD REBUKES
THE STUDENTS
Would Rather Close the College
Than to Remove President
Harrington.
.EXONERAT|ON IS COMPLETE
Trustees Pay High Tribute to Har-
rington and Severely Criicise
Action Of Students-The
Charges Not Proven.

Marlin, Texas, June 24.-Presi-
dent Harrington will remain at the
head of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college.
Shortly before II o'clock last
night the board of directors made
public it's findings, completely exon
Grating the college president.
IF we were challenged to express
an opinion as to whether this school
can be successfully conducted the
incoming year, with DR.. Harrington
at it's head, we meet the issue square
ly by replying we think it can. But
if it cannot we would close the
school before we would set the prec
edent of permitting student body
to rise in open rebellion and in open
and bold defiance of constituted au-
thority and for frivolous and unjust
causes, force the governing body to
yield to a peremptory demand. This
board will never establish such a
precedent.
The final meeting of the directors
was held in the parlors of the Airing
ton hotel Morning and afternoon
sessions had been held in the Eagles
hall, kindly placed at their disposal,
and 1t was mere that the various
questions involved were discussed
and the judgment of the board
! agreed upon.
A committee consisting of Judge
| Legett and Judge Green was appoint
ed to draft a statement expressing
this judgment and it was for the
purpose of receiving the report OF
/ this committee that the night session
was held. No change beyond slight
alterations in the wording of the
statement were made and it was
signed by every member of the board
present, with the exception of Sena-
! tor Sebastian, who has not been in
attendance on any part of the inves-
; tigation, being detained at his home
by Illness.

San Augustine, Texas, June "a
The excitement has about died down
in Sabine county and everything is
normal, and no further trouble is
anticipated. Everything is quiet in
Hemphill. The county seat men went
about their business in their shirt
sleeves and unarmed yesterday
morning Many negroes lave left
the county, some leaving their crops
and homes and they are still leav-
ing. 1t is said that all the negroes in
the county are badly frightened and
that all are anxious to leave the
county.
No effort has been made to ascer-
tain who was in the crowd that
took the prisoners from the jail and
will possibly not be as the whole
country was terribly wrought up
over the affair Negroes that took
part in the killing of young Dean, or
knew of the plot, have not been ac-
counted for. The preliminary trial
of Wright and Perry Price was set
for Friday. but 1t will possibly be put

STORY OF DELLA AND THE ROSE
Men Wore Roses on Lapel Of Coat at
Wednesday Morning Service.

The revival is nearing the close of
no abatement of interest, but rather
a deepening of the revival spirit In
the saved and unsayed It Is a great
sight and one that inspires the un-
converted onlooker to see the pas
tors of the four different denomina-
tions seated on the rostrum, each
one with his energies directed to the
same effort and all of them lending
their influence, Some time in the
sermon the evangelist will make a
statement and the Methodist. Chris
tian, Baptist and Presbyterian will
each shout Amen"
DR.. Walton last night asked how
many people in the congregation
held family worship in their homes
every day.
Rev. Gill spoke out, Just lots of
them in the church" DR.. Walton
thinking that the Presbyteri
church was meant then called on
Rev. Mcclure to say how many he
had who held family worship Said
he, Gill means lots of people in
here tonight have family worship.
He has forgotten that there is more
than one church in Waxahachie In
fact, all of us have. We are all
Christian people here united to win
souls and forgetting for the time be-
ing that there is any difference in
our denominations.
The womens' meeting this morn
ing was the most largely attended
one of the series and Rev Nevins
preached. Mr.. Jolly had charge Of
the singing and will sing at every
ladies service this week
The entertainment for the young
people has been changed to Saturday
afternoon at $50 at Chautauqua
Park. At that time one hundred
watermelons will be cut, and of
course, will be eaten by the partici-
pants. The young people are looking
forward with a great deal of interest
to this outing and the girls are to
have a basket ball game.
The mems meeting this morning
was well attended as usual and many
of the men wore roses as requested
by the evangelist He told the story
of Della and the Rose with. much
feeling and the men were moved to
tears.
The stereopicon was again a feat
ure of the services last night and
Rev. Gill entertained the young peo
pie for fifteen minutes while Mr.
| Smith projected the pictures on the

Twenty-Five hundred dollars reward
will be paid through the Perkins Union
Detective agency, to any person who
will furnish positive information as to
the present whereabouts of Mrs. w. A.
Stone Bertha May Stone), who left her
home in Uniontown, Pa, on Deem
Der 2, 1908. The supposition is she
was accompanied by or now is in the
company of Emery Martin also of
Uniontown, Pa. 1t is thought that Mrs
Stone is mentally unbalanced and her
grief stricken husband w. A. Stone,
earnestly desires that his wife be To-
Gated and tenderly cared for until he be
notified. There is no criminal charge
pending against either of the missing
parties The motive of the husband
in Offering and pledging himself to
pay this reward is to quickly locate his
missing wife whom he still loves and
cherishes and whose little children
need their mothers care. 1t is thought
Emery Martin, if located, can enlighten
any person as to the whereabouts of
Mrs. Stone. Do not incur expense of
tclcgraphing unless Identification is
positive.
