C0 To the citizens of our
State who are interested in the edu-
cation of our youth and who know
the great strides toward increased
efficiency and usefulness which the
college has taken within the last tif-
teen years, there is no more hopeful
sign of the general prosperity of the
State than the fourishing condition
of this admirable institution. 1t has
grown from the small classical col
lege of the mid-nineteenth century,
concerned mainly with training men
through the medium of the humani-
istry, law. medicine, and teaching, to
the vigorous State college of the
twentieth century, whose mission is
not only to provide her graduates
with a general education for future
usefulness, but also with a prepara-
tion for immediate service in farm
ing, engineering, and commercial
pursuits. Supported by the State of
Delaware and by the national govern
ment, her mission is to educate the
boys of Delaware to become more
useful citizens of the State and of
the United States. How we'll she has
fulfilled her mission. Jne realizes on
ly after learning of her graduates
who are now scattered over the
American continent.
Although Delaware College is, as
anyone who knows the size of the
State would expect, a comparatively
small institution, and although her
income is still limited, her work is
of surprisingly varied nature. The
most interesting and probably the
most important aspect of the work of
the college, if one considers our State
only, is the agricultural department,
including the courses of instruction
in the college and the experimental
work in the station and on the farm.
If anyone doubts the wisdom of the
expenditures of energy and money
that have been made in the past and
are now being made for agricultural
purposes. let him inquire Just what
improvements in the methods of
farming in our State are due to the
work of the investigators in the
experimental station. From the
courses which aim especially to give
the students a sound general educa-
tion. with some opportunity for spe-
cialiZation, Delaware College has for
three-duarters of century been
sending out men who. either in our
own State or in other States, have
attained to eminence in business or
in the learned professions.

the State are more generous in theil
moral support than ever before. Al
"a result of all these things, the mum
her of students is increasing rapidly
the faculty is being strengthened eV
cry year, the material equipment i
more adequate, and the genera
standing of the institution is higher
than ever in the past.
It may be of interest to some o.
our readers to know how Delaware
College is supported According tt
it's original foundation, the college
was a private institution But wher
the Federal government by grant
of public lands provided for the es
tablishment in each State of col
lege devoted to the teaching o.
Agriculture and the Mechanical Arts
and Military Tactics, the state o.
Delaware designated Delaware Col
lege as the institution to receive the
income derived from the sale OF these
lands, and "a joint and equal inter-
est in the grounds, buildings, f1brar-
les, and vested funds of the college
proper was conveyed to the State by
the Board of Trustees. Through these
acts of the State and the Trustees,
Delaware College became State in
stitution From 1870, when the col
lege was reopened, until the present
year, the State of Delaware has given
$4,000 to the College proper, and
$50, 900 for the purchase and equip
ping of farm and the building of a
barn. At the last session of the leg
islature an annual appropriation for
two years of $1,000 was made for the
general welfare of the institution.
This was the first time that the State
had made provision for the current
expenses of the college, an indica-
tion that henceforth the college will
severely in the past, by the strict reg
ulations attached to the application
of the funds from the United States
government. These latter funds,
amounting in 1909 to $37, 900 for the
college proper and $4,000 for the
Experiment Station, must be used for
certain specific purposes. AS re-
suit of these limitations, the college
has had to depend on an original
fund of s4,9S0 and on incidental fees
from the students, for carrying on of
many departments of her activity.
These small funds, without additions
from the State in the way of annual
appropriations. are ridiculously small.
From this source the college provides

W. P. Bispham Hurt

w. P. Bispham, brakeman on
the local freight, running between
this place and Walnut Ridge, hap
pened to an accident a few days
ago which came very near proving
serious. While switching some
cars at Walnut Ridge, brace upon
which he was standing broke,
throwing him to the ground.
Though pretty badly shaken up he
went on with his work thinking he
was not much hurt. A day or twc
later, however, he was compelled
to take his bed and on Monday of
this week DR.. w. Z. Hamil was
called who found it necessary to
perform an operation, which he did.
Pearl is now much improved and
will be able to resume his run with

SHOT GUNS WERE
THE WEAPONS USED
In Shooting SCrdpc That Occur
red Near Sharum Friday
Night of Last Week

Six negroes were painfully but
not seriously hurt at the box sup
per that was given about three
miles from Sharum Friday night of
last week by the colored people.
Reports are to the effect that
some of the white boys in the neigh
borhood went to the box supper for
the purpose of having good time.
They had previously INDUCED to
some extent in the "spirits" and in
tended to have some sport with the
colored people. After arriving
some of them got into an alterca-
tion and as a result six Of the color
ed men, it is alleged, were fired up
on by the white boys and painfully,
but not seriously injured.
Sheriff Sam Brown and Geo. T.
Black, assistant prosecuting attor-
ney went to the scene on Saturday
morning but the colored people were
SO badly excited that they could not
tell who did the shooting. The
matter will be investigated at the
coming term Of circuit court.

That Snake 'ITaiI"

In telling a story about a rattle
snake that was killed near Reyno
last week the mis.constructiou of a
certain sentence in the article leaves
some people in doubt as to the
length of the snake and one of our
good friends at Doniphan, Mo-, is
interested to the extent that he
takes the trouble to write us in re-
gard TO The matter. Now we will
just state for his information, as
well as all others who desire to
know that his snakeship was IA
feet long and had 4 rattles and a
button.
Now as to the log having rattles
and buttons we presume this is true,
as Mr.. G. Lee Wilson says we have
plenty of them and we have no
occasion whatever to doubt his
word. Furthermore, if there are
any other counties in the state that
cannot come up with this record it
is no fault of ours and we are in no
wise TO blame for such state of
affairs.

that company in Pocahontas. Quite
a number of residences that have

informs us that he will have no
trouble in renting all the property

COMMITTED SUICIDE
BY DROWNING
Joe II. Pace, Well Known, Citizen
Of ReynO, Launches Self into
Eternity.

A report reached Pocaho ntas
Tuesday morning that Joe II. Pace
of Reyno had drowned himself at
Richardson's ferry on current
river. The particulars relative TO
the sad affair as near as we can
gather are about as follows: Mr..
Pace arose from bed at about four
o'clock, as was his usual custom,
and left the house presumably to go
and feed his stock, When he did
not return in time for breakfast his
wife became alarmed and caused a
search to be made about the home
but he could not be found. While
the search was being continued,
word was brought to town that a
drowned man had been found in
the river Richardson's ferry. The
description Of the drowned man cor
responded with that of the missing
man, Mr.. Pace. A justice of the
peace, acting as coroner, immedi-
ately summoned jury and went to
the river to make investigation and
there found the body to be that
of Mr.. Pace.
The jury found that the drowned
man had fastened a rope securely
about the roots of a large tree which
stood near the brink of the water
and had fastened the other end
around his legs just above the ankles
and had plunged headlong into the
water. 1t is evident that he had
made no effort whatever to save
himself after jumping in the river
as the water where he was lying
when found was not more than two
feet deep.
The reason for this sad ending
Of human life will probably new
er be known as he left no note or
word of explanation and his family
and friends know of no reason why
he should have committed the deed.
Mr.. Pace was born in Virginia
IN 1856. A few years later the
family moved to kentucky and
there he was married to Miss
Fanny Baker. In 1906 he moved
to this county and for some time
has been living in the Bay. He
was buried at Pitman Tuesday.
