tore out my eye. / said: What do you
want to do, kill me?" I was obliged to
defend myself and took out my black
jack and struck him.
Reynolds says Modem entered his
place with a man named Burns, alleged

sANDrowNs LOST GLORY.

A CcORDING to a writer in the Milioro ;,l
y Chronicle Sandtown is about to lose It's
reputation For fifty years Sandtown has held
record that perhaps is unique IN Kent county
Not in half a century has a new building been
erected in Sandtown Now it appears that the
oeace of the village is TO be disturbed and a can
ming factory is to be built for the convenience OF
the farmers in the neighborhood The Chronicle
writer declares that although the country round
about Sandtown has wonderfully improved, the
four houses and the one store still remains sand
town is in the "Shoestring district OF hent
county in that neighborhood which has been
called "Sockum," near the home OF former OoV-
ernor Robert ]. Reynolds ,.
II has been more or less famous in the poti-
cal history of Kent county Many budding ora
tor in the wears gone by made his hrst appearance
70 the public of Sandtown, and the verdict OF
Sandtowners had much to do with his future as
politician and political leader. Hardly Kent
county political orator escaped the Sandtown eX-
perience And vet with all that, the four houses
and the one store have remained and the peace
OF the residents of the village has not been DIS
turbed by the so-called progressive ideas OF
growth and development.
Now all is to be changed The serenity Of the
neighborhood will be broken by the noise and
disturbance of a canning factory. Lie will be
different in Sandtown. The beauties and pleas
ures and comforts enjoyed by those who are free
from the racket and the talk and the noise OF
city will be destroyed with this new canning fac
tory 1t will not be the Sandtown OF old II we
lived in Sandtown, which for fifty years has been
free from turmoil we doubt whether we should
welcome the incoming of the canning factory
But perhaps they propose to can some OF the
quiet bliss of rural life and send it TO the distract
ed cities, where it is so much needed. But after
all, who doubts that the residents of Sandtown
are not so happy as those who live amid hustle
and city excitement?

EDUCATION AND FOOD.

L DUCATiON, but no food, is the principle
- forced upon the parents of some of the
children of New York city.
1t has developed that hundreds of the children
attend the public schools there so weak from a
lack of pure food and clothing that they are hard
ly able to pursue their studies. The State forces
them into school nourished or not nourshed.
The little ones have scarcely nourshment enough
to keep their bodies and souls together
Their presence at school in such a condition is
a lesson taught more forcibly than all the book
learning that the teachers could cram into the
famished noodles of the little ones.
What commentary it is upon our civilization
that such reports are possible. Right in the midst
OF plenty, with the millions upon millions concen-
trated in the mansions of New York city, stalks
poverty that snatches these children almost as
soon as they are created.
And but few miles away are the fields where
nature produces her milk and honey and supplies
food that would feed those who suffer for the
lack of it.
Poverty in this world is not due to a lack of
natures bounty, but is due to the avarce and
greed of man.

sleepily rub their eyes. Small fines
were imposed.

REMOVAL OF MR.. VAN TRUMP.

T APPEARS that a majority of the water
a commissioners wanted to get rid of James c..
a OF hunting after his scalp, and so why hint
at mysterious reasons for the ousting? If the
commissioners have good and sufficient reasons
for their action we do not see why they should be
quiet. We do not fancy that the judgment OF the
commissioners can seriously harm Mr.. Van
Trump.
The only remarkable thing about II is that the
dismissal of Mr.. Van Trump should have hap
pened at the time of the friction in the depart
ment. A man with the good record that Mr.. Van
Trump has had through various administrations
OF the department need not fear any reasons that
the present board might advance for their sudden
decision to remove him, and we do not fancy that
he entertains such fears

Some OF those who were expected to lead the
revolt against Bryan in the South have sadly
failed in their supposed task. Colonel Watterson
in Kentucky seems to have abandoned the oppo-
stion to Bryan altogether. In Virginia the dele
gates were instructed for Bryan, although there
was supposed to be powerful influences" work
ing against him. In the Old Dominion State
Senator Daniel was picked TO lead the opposition
but when the time came in the Virginia conven-
ton for effective work Mr.. Daniel quietly ac-
quiesced in the program of the Bryan fellows
And the same thing happened in South Carolina
It was said all along that no one wanted Bryan,
but somehow the delegates were instructed for
him. The opponents of Bryan are now basng
their hopes on a supposition that some of even
the instructed delegates will break from the Ne
braskan leader. but this is hardly probable.
