DELAWARE COLLEGE BUDGET

Mrs. De Gamo's ilInatEated lecture more
than met the expectations Of all who at.
tended. Mrs. De GAmo fully outlined
the relation which exists between good
roads and rural child welfare. She show.
ed several pictures of inferior school
houses which are found in some of the
western states where the roads are excep'
tionaIly bad. She alec emphasized the
fact that such schools are usually poorly
attended. Sh pointed 9ut that children
who are compelled to walk to school over
bad roads are liable TO have weak cons:i'
tutions. This lie due to the fact that they
often get their shoes wet ia walking TO
school aud are forced TO ait all day With
ont changing them. This naturally brings
OH severe colds, pneumonia, and very
often consumption. She also told Of the
rapid strides being made by some states
toward good roads. She contrasted the
communities where good roads existed
aud those where bad roads are found and
proved that conditions we're decidedly
better in the former case. In c'osiDg, Mra.
De Gamo appealed to the civil engineers
to specialize in road building aud thus
make themselves able to aid in this excel
lent movement

 Nevada County, the sixty fourth county created, was formed by the legis lature March 20, 1871, out of territory taken from the counties of Hampstead, Ouachi- ta and Columbia. The tempora- ry seat of justice was established at Mt. Moriah, but the first per. manent seat was located at Ross ton. By an election was moved to Prescott in 1877 where it is now. Nevada County is in the southwestern part of the state in the Ouachita River Valley bound ed by Clark, Pike, Hampstead, Lafayette, Columbia, and Ouach- ita counties. It has an area of 575 square miles.
 The surface rising about $50 feet above sea level, is gently sloping, with no mountains, but with about one-f fifth of it's area hills, and having forty square miles of prairie land. It is well drained by the Little Missouri River which forms the northern

moved to Prescott. In 1880 the population of Nevada County was 12,948, in 1910 it murdered 19,- 344.
 Since Reconstruction Days" it has had a steady growth in pop ulation, civilization, education, science, and particularly large growth in finance. There is probably a more noticeable growth in Prescott than in the county. From village there has risen a growing town of 5000 inhabitants. The court house which was erected in 1885, and has stood as a monument to Prescott's early days, is soon to be replaced by $65, 1000 structure. Prescott owns her light plant and water works, and a sewer age system is in progress. It has a modern ice plant, and nat ural gas. Nearly all religious bodies are represented here with handsome churches, and it's ho- tels are excellent. Pres colt boasts of some magnificent mer- cantile establishments. To a large extent the town and coun- tvs growth is due to three sub- stantial banks, supported by good conscientious men. 1t has been d great help to our town to have men of such high standing, integrity, and honor to serve the money wants of our people.

 Nevada County was formed March, 1871, from part of Ouach- ta, Columbia, and Hampstead Counties. It's county seat was placed temporarily at Mt. Mo- riah,. In the same year the commissioners appointed by the governor to locate the seat of justice, selected Rosston. In 1873 the Iron Mountain Railroad crossed the northwestern corner of the county and built the pres ent depot at Prescott The peo- ple of this section moved by the spirit of progression, and realiz- ing the county seat should be on the railroad began removal campaign, and in 1877 it was

uouS Ol Uuc peach, StfdW perry and vine. To give you an illus. tration; one farmer made $1,6OO off of 13 acres of sweet potatoes.
 As early as 1874 Prescott real. ized.the need of schools, and An sley Academy was erected. La ter Tom Allen High School was built. In 1900 this was destroyed by fire. During the same year a magnificent brick structure was erected. Later the school, grew to such an extent that another building was built. Prescott was not yet content, The spirit of progression was On them, and they relized the building and grounds were not sufficient, and a three-story brick High School was erected on a thirty.acre plot. Besides Prescott, Emmet, Bod cav and Gale kmaintain good schools, and all the districts have some free schools.
 The Ozan Lumber Company, of Prescott is one of the largest in the state. In addition to this we have the Junction City and Home Lumber Companies, and many mills are scattered over the coun- ty. A stave mill is nearing com pletion near Prescott.
 There is a strip of land in the southern part of the county in which are are large bodies of brown Ignite and iron ore.
 Cotton and lumber are the principal shipping products of the county. Lately a better breed of hogs and cattle have been raised, shipped to the north and west.
 To utilize the products of our county wa are in special need of cotton compress and oil mill.
 A public library where now stands this shed would mean much to our literay people.
 A good live Business Mems League" to encourage factories and other commercial interests to come to our town and county is needed.
 The Iron Mountain should be forced to build a depot at once.
 To insurance companies we owe much of our past growth, and our future developments. When one realizes the amount of insurance this one company has written in such short time, we fully appreciate the fact that our people have not only grown in a commercial way, ,buthavereached a point in civilization where they not only care for the needs of the present, but look into the future, and through good insur- ance companies, provide for their families.

or two good, plain trades, such as car
pentry, painting, shoemaking and the
like. I hope to see the reformatory
built up. 1t is valuable asset"
There is one thing about the refor-
matory that is puzzling the governor
somewhat. He is constantly in receipt
Of petitions that he release boys regu-
larly committed to the institution. The
law appears to make no provision for
release of an inmate except upon the
order of the board Of directors or on
a writ Of habeas corpus from the Chief
Justice or one Of the circuit judges.
The governor is Of the opinion that
this law is defective, but his advice to
petitioners is that they employ coun-
sci to presnt their cases.
Should Appeal to Directors.
Where boys have been voluntarily
committed by parents or guardians,
appeal should be made to the directors
of the reformatory. The governor
can not we'll consider petitions for the
release Of any inmates except such as
have been committed by a court upon
conviction of crime.
Another matter in reference to the
reformatory which governor has un-
der consideration is the composition Of
the board of directors. He does not
intimate that he has any desire or in
tention to make any changes, but he
wishes to ascertain just who are the
directors. The records at the State
house are not at all clear on this point.
Governor Blease has asked Mr.. ". R.
Barringer, Of Florence, whom he un-
derstands to be secretary treasurer of
the board, to furnish him with a list
Of the directors.

MEETING AT ZOAR SCHOOL.
Saluda District Proud Of Sacrifices
Made for Good SchoOl-Ad-
dresses.

Saluda, July 6.-A11 business was
suspended here On the Fourth, for the
holiday and the exodus almost depop-
ulated the town. A large number went
over to Summerland to the Batesburg-
Leesville annual gathering, while
still larger number attended the Zoar
barbecue, now for some years an event
looked forward to with pleasure.
The gathering at the last named
place was a large one, and the patrons
Of the zoar High school had planned
to use it as an educational rally day.
An Introductory talk was made by
the Rev. J. A. Carson, county superin-
tendent of education. He was follow
ed by B. W. Crouch, who discussed in
a very plain and pointed way some of
the practical problems just now con-
fronting those interested in maintain
ing the local school, and especially Of
keeping it up to the high standard of
excellence of the past few years.
The treat Of the day, perhaps, was
the eoquent and inspiring address Of
Prof. Clinkscales, of Wofford college.
The speaker was at his best, and his
talk was characteristic of the nan
simple, earnest eloquent and enlioen-
ed with sense Of humor throughout
An excellent barbecue and picnic
dinner was served on the grounds The
Zoar school is the pride of the people
of that community. The building IS
one of the most ample and best fitted
up schools in the county. At consider
able sacrifice have some of the patrons
made the school what it is. Tuesdays
work will, perhaps, tide them over
what appeared to be a. crisis, and the
good work of the last ten years, in
stead of being hindered, will likely go
forward with increased impetus.
