Will Camp At RshObOth.

Through orders issued this week,
Governor Lea will send the First In
fantry into q camp Of instruction at
Rehoboth, Delaware. The troops will
reach the ocean shore on Saturday, July
25th, and remain in camp for one week.
This place is one Of the most satisfactory
camping grounds the troops have had
in recent years. There is an excellent
opportunity for target shooting, and
unequalled facilities for skirmish and
advance guard work and also oppOT-
tunity for sea bathing, which is greatly
enjoyed by the soldiers. The site for
this camp will be the field occupied in
1908.

Campaign to Redistrict Schools.

The State school superintendents are
beginning a campaign to redistrict the
school districts Of all three counties.
For this reason, it is said that all school
building enterprises have been or will
be temporarily stopped until commits
sion or delegation can arrange to do
the redistricting. Supt. J. D. Brooks
Of Sussex county is particularly inter-
ested in this matter, as the school dis
trict that now exist were laid off forty
years ago and do not in any way meet
the present conditions, particularly in
districts where certain sections have
built up or grown and developed, Iesv.

ARTHUR JESTER MEETS
WITH 4 TRAGIC DEATH

Just before the supper hour last Fri
day evening tragedy occurred in South
Milford, which sent a joviaI, happy dis
positiOned young man to the grave,
and has caused much unhappiness.
The trouble grew out Of joke, or jok-
ing remarks, from the victim to one
James dude Ross, q colOred man OF
more than ordinary nominees and not
OveTburdened with intelligence yet
not a man who could be termed mot
responsible" in any sense for his acts.
Arthur B. Jester had stopped at the
meat store Of Walter H. Davis, where
the colOred man was employed IS q
lsbOrer, and while waiting for his pur-
chase he opened a conversation with
Ross and iOkingly atruck him q blow
with q tin basin. From those who
we're present we learn that the negro
appeared to be enraged at this, and
grabbing a long steak knife, threw It ct
Jester as be ran laughing out Of the
store. The keen blade struck the calf
Of his left leg just as he cleared the door
way, inficting a deep wound three or
more inches long, from which the blood
poured over and ran down the concrete
pavement for ten feet or more.
Mr.. Jester was taken to the Office OF
DR.. John S. Prettyman, where he was
assisted by Drs. William Marshall and
J. Lynn Pratt, to get him under the
influence OF an anesthetic, so that the
arteries could be taken up and tied.
He only partially rallied FROM its
effect and died in less than three hours
from the time the wound was inflicted.
A corOners jury was empsneled on
Sunday and it brought in a verdict
that Arthur B. Jester came to his death
by reason of loss Of blood, caused by
wound in his leg, inflicted by James
Ross.
Young Jester was "a years old and
son Of AR. and Mrs. Robert J. Jester and
was engaged in the livery business with
Goldsborough o. Isascs in North Mil
ford. He was large man physically,
and one Of those happy dispositions
which take life as a JOKE. He was
sober, upright and good business man
and had no bad habits. He was q
member of Company B, Of the State
Militia, and one Of its most reliable
men, and on Monday in a steady rain
every member Of the company paid
their respects to his memory, by march
Ing as an escort to the remains to his
last resting place in Odd Fellows
Cemetery.
The negro was arrested last Tuesday,
at Denton, Maryland, and will be
brought to Georgetown, where he will
be tried at the next term OF Court.

Sia courts. One of them, the Rev
Walt Holcombe, known throughout
the country as a co-worker with his
famous fatherin-law, has been in
dicted on a charge of using obscene
language before ladies. The other.
B. c. Sloan, has appealed to the
state supreme court in an attempt
to secure possession of his little
son. now in the custody of Mrs. Sam
Jones, widow of the great evangelist.
The Holco nbe case continues to
be a subject Of interest here and
the town is divided into warning
factions, a portion Of the people
upholding the evangelist and others
denouncing him in violent terms.
The charge against Holcombe
grew out Of q 'for men only ser
mon. At the last tabernacle meet
ing held here last September on the
last Sabbath afternoon OF the meet
ing about five thousand people had
gathered to hear Rev. French Oil
YER Of Chicago preach sermon to
men only. This special service had
been announced daily for a week,
but on account Of thousands Of Wis
itors being in the city in attend
ance at this meeting Sunday, quite
a large number of people were not
familiar with the program for this
special service. Consequently there
were in the audience quite a large
number of ladies.
Despite the fact that it was rain
ing hard Mr.. Holcombe, it is claim
ed, endeavored to have the ladies
leave the building, so the special
sermon for men could proceed. On
account Of the heavy rain, however,
they were slow to leave the build
ing, when it is charged that Mr..
H9coube used language publicly
that should not be used in the pres
ence OF ladies.

WHAT SHE WOULD HAVE SAID.
Lucky for Poet That American Womr
an Was Not His Spouse,

Al witty and popular American lady
was recently dining with a literary
ooterie in London; when some n
started a conversation about the meth
DDS of working adopted by authors.
Among the many instances given. was
that of a well-known poet, who. 1T
was said, was in the habit of writing
at night and in the early morning; and
who was wont to rouse his wife and
exclaim about four o'clock maria,
get up; | have thought Of a good
world" Immediately on receiving this
signal, the poets obedient helpmate
would arise and make a proper note
Of the thoughr-of word. About an hour
after a new inspiration would seize
upon the bard, and he would then
call out: Maria, get up, get up!
I've thought of a better world" The
company generally listened to the
story with admiration, but the bright
eyed American remarked: well, II
he'd been my husband, I should have
replied: 'Alpheus, get up; I've though
of a bad world! "-Loldon Tit-Bits.

THIS paper stated a few weeks
