Business Men of Frederica From
1910 to the Present Time.
WILLIAM TOWNsEND.

/, Mr Townsend, in his day and genera
: ton, was one of the most prominent an
/ influential citizens the town of Frederic
, has ever produced. He was born Jul,
18th, 1909, and was the son of Jane
townsend, a successful merchant of Ken
County. His mother was Mary, daughter
OF William Townsend of Sussex County
his grandfathers were both named vii.
liam Townsend.
He was educated in the schools of Fred
erica until he was sixteen years of age
He then entered wholesale and retail
drygoods store in Philadelphia sswhere he
served an apprenticeship of four years
He then returned to his home and soon
after ,about lS30) opened a general store
at Fork Landing, located at the head of
navigation on the Murderkill River, where
he built up large business, dealing in
grain, wood, bark and slaves, EMPLOYING
his own vessels in transportation. In this
he was very successful Notwithstanding
the fact that the country was then passing
through one of the worst panics that has
ever befallen it, on account of President
Jackson's veto of the UnitedlStates Bank.
Specie payment was suspended, circulat
ing medium restricted and general finan-
cial distress prevailing. Even the credit |
Of the Government was so weak that it |
could not borrow thirteen millions of dol |
lars. During this period Mr.. Townsend |
bought corn at twenty, twenty-five and
thirty-one cents per bushel, and even at
those prices the margin of.profit was so
small that he sometimes lost in the specu.
lation. In 1885 Mr. Townsend took into
partnership with him John W. Cullen,
whose wife was sister to Mr.. Townsend's
wife. This partnership lasted till Janu
ary, lS40, when Mr. Townsend sold his
interest to Mr.. Cullen, and began business
in Frederica. Here he conducted an ex-
to8sive business in the mercantile line,
and in buying and shipping grain, wood,
slaves and bark, which at that time we're
eading articles of commerce. He en-

Extensive business activity continued un-

'irtually cut Of the forest trade. During
his period Mr.. Townsend had accumu-
ated snug fortune, and although but
title past the prime Of life, was willing
o retire, which he did in 1864. After [
bat time he gave his attention to the
are of his investments, which consisted {
artly in real estate but more largely in {
tocks and bonds.
Mr.. Townsend was a man Of noble!
hysique and handsome features-almost
lassie-possessing a very intelligent mind

ment from the navy in 1897, where he
had served as a professor Of mathe-

Record in Warship Construction

The newest Dreadnaught of the
United States, the giant battleship
| Delaware, under construction at
Newport News, Virginia, is to be
delivered to the Navy Department
early in January, 1910, seven
months ahead of contract time.
The vessel IS now SO per cent com
pleted, and she will have her official
speed and endurance trial off the
coast Of New England in October.
By completing the Delaware in
January the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company
will establish a new and remarkable
record for warship construction in
the United States. This vessel is
the largest battleship in the world,
yet just IS IL months will have
elapsed from the time Of the laying
of the keel until she becomes an in
tegrel part Of the United States
Navy. The vessel is one-fourth
again as large as the battleship
Louisiana, the largest now in COM
mission, yet it took 81 months to
complete that vessel and she was
built in record time. Twenty-four
months were required for the build
ing Of the British battleship Dread
nought, though that vessel is much
smaller than the Delaware.
That the Newport News shipyard
will win the great building race
with the Fall River Yard, where
the Delaware S sister ship, the North
Dakota, is building, is now certain.
The North Dakota will not be de-
llvered until next summer, accord
ing to advices received.
Although the Delaware is gener-
ally referred to as a 20, ,ooo-ton bat
leship, she will have a full load
onnage of %, 900. The contract r
,alls for displacement of not less
han 2o,O 900 tons, and the builders
that the tonnage, when
he IS delivered, will be 5000 tons
u excess Of that requirement.
The Delaware will carry 10 12- Z
1ch rifles mounted in five currents :
Il the center line, and will have a j.
roadside fire Of all 10 guns and
1rward and astern fire offour guns.
he will be propelled by twin-screw l.
critical, triple-expansion engines
80, 900 horsepower, and the de-
gned speed will be 2I I-2 knots

JOHN D, GIVES

On King Increases Donation TO
General Education Board.
TOTAL is NOW S52,OOO,OOO

He Also Released the Board From the
Obligation to Hold In Perpetulty
the Funds, and If In the Future the
Purpose Of the Foundation Becomes
Remote the Principal May Be Die.
Orlbuted.
John D. Rockefeller has increased
his donations to the General Educs-
ton Board by an additional gift Of
S10,0O0,000 and also released the
board from the obligation to hold in
perpetuity the funds contributed by
him. The gift, announced by Freder-
ick 7. Gates, the chairman of the
board brings Nj. Rockefeller's dona-
lions to the general education board
ts e52,000000. It was contributed, ac-
eording to the statement made by
Chairman Gates, because the income
Of the present fund available to appro-
priation had been exhausted and a
larger income to meet educational
needs of great Importance had be-
come necessary.
Mr.. Rockefeller's action in empow-
eTing the board and its successors to
distribute the principal of funds con-
tributed by him upon the Affirmative
vote of two-thirds of the members was
said to have been taken in consider
alton Of the possibility, now remote,
that at some future time the object
and purpose of the Rockefeller foun.
dation might become obsolete. Under
the original conditions imposed, the
fund would have had to continue in
petpetuity, irrespective of whether a
public demand for its continuance ex-
listed or not.
Since the receipt Of its foundation
for higher education in 1905 the gen
OTal education board has subscribed /
70 the colleges Of this country s3.937- /
800. The colleges to which these sub |
scriptions have been made are to .
raise supplemental sums amounting
to s14,O375OO. When these agreements
have been completed, the total addi-
tion to collegiate endowment in this
country, through the agency of the
board and the friends Of the colleges.
will be s17975,0OO.
