and that there are five others Gag
erly waiting to take their places.
The cost per pupil at Hampton
is 800 per year. The school is a
private corporation supported in
part by endowment and in part by
private contributions. The ex-
penses Of the school exceed the re-
sources by about 1925, 900 annual
ly. The heads of departments are
in nearly every case white. Some
OF the sub-teachers are colored.
Hampton Institute is one of the
show places Of the South, and at
tracts a great many visitors of
more than ordinary note-foreign
noblemen, military and naval at
taches, ambassadors, aside from
philanthropists, statesmen, and
business men of note who are in
terested in the race problem and
the welfare Of the negro, are con-
slant visitors at Hampton.
One of the most interesting fea
lures of the school is it's music. III
connection with the military or
ganization-in which no fire arms
or side arms are permitted, there
is a large band, and the singing at
chapel and church exercises is
very stirring,

The Prudential Committee of
the State College for Colored Stu
dents. composed of Mr.. Francis
IIotfecker. Of Wilmington, MI
John Hutton, of Dover, with Prof.
HAYWARD, made a visit to Hamp-
ton Institute on Sunday and Mon
dav Of this week. They were very
much impressed with the charac-
ter of the school, as none of them
had ever had the opportunity of
visiting this famous institution be-
fore.
The Institute now owns about
| 300 acres Of land, has 135 build
ings. and is attended by about
1000 students during the year, in
addition to which there are a
large number of teachers attend
inc the summer school, and many
children who attend the school
connected with the Normal Train
ing Department.
The keynote of the whole insti-
tuition is industry, as the school
authorities have found. after 40
years experience, that the negro
race IS helped more by knowing
how 10 work and how to do work
we'll than in any other way.
BESIDES the 13 grades taught,
there are two academic courses in
tended primarily for teachers. a

PEACH CROP THREATENED

a recent examination of a num-
ber OF peach orchards throughout
the State has shown that the
peach crop is seriously threatened.
Many of the blossoms and young
twigs have turned brown and
died. The damage is more severe
in some orchards than in others.
In all eases, the trouble will be
found to be most serious in those
orchards which produced crop
Of peaches in 1910 and were not
sprayed for the rot. The dying Of
the blossoms and twigs is caused
by the brown rot; and the source
OF infection was the rotted
peaches from the 1910 crop. The
disease lives over for two years
and if conditions are favorable the
second spring, we can almost in
variably expect severe blossom in
fection to be followed later by the
peaches rotting on the tree.
In those peach orchards which
were too young to bear in 1910.
and are located some distance
from older peach orchards, there
will probably be little if any signs
Of dying twigs and blossoms.
The remedy is to spray thor
oughly. The blossom infection
for this year cannot be stopped as
the damage is already done: but
by prompt measures. the remain
der Of the crop may be saved. If
spraying is neglected and there
should happen to be hot moist
weather at peach ripening time,
the majority Of the fruit on I'M
sprayed peach orchards, over
three years old, will rot upon the
trees. Spraying thoroughly to
control the rot this year will also
be Of value in controlling attacks
Of brown rot upon blossoms and
tWigs in 1911. Spray now. "a
stitch in time save nine.
Directions for spraying peaches
have been previously published.

In sermon on Sunday morn
ing at the Presbyterian Church,
Newark, DR.. w. j. Rowan gave u
sketch of the life Of President
Davies to. illustrate the influence
exerted by a good mother. Since
President Davies was born and
reared in New Castle county, d
few miles from Newark, it ought
to be matter of local interest to
know the facts concerning him.
On Nov. 3rd, 1924, Samuel Davies
first saw the light Of day, his par
ents being Of Welsh descent. He
was their only son, his mother de-
claring that she gave him the
name Samuel; for like Hannah, OF
old, she had asked God for the
child, promising to lend him unto
the Lord as long as he lived. His
mother superintended his early
education. because there were no
schools nearby. At the age OF
ten, having absorbed all the know
ledge his mother was able to give
him, he was sent to an English
school some distance from home.
Here he was converted, and re-
solved to prepare himself for the
gospel ministry. At the age OF
fifteen he entered the Academy at
Faggs Manor, Pennsylvania, un-
der the tutelage Of Rev. Samuel
Blair. Lack Of means prevented
him from taking the full course in
the classics and theology. Hence
forth he was obliged to work with
his hands and study in private
At the age Of twenty-one he was
licensed to preach the gospel.
Close application to his books
bore hard on him, and, believing
himself affected by consumption,
he determined to give himself
unto the Lord for the few remain
ing days OF his life. lie located
in Hanover. Virginia, and for
several years labored with signal
success. The out-of-door life re-
stored his health. and with the re-
newal of his strength he devoted
much time to enriching his mind.
When men were needed to repre-
sent the cause of the College of
New Jersey in Great Britain, Mr.
Davies was selected, for his orator
zeal gifts We're known all through
the Middle Colonial section. AL
though not quite thirty years of
age. he produced a remarkable
impression on the learned men Of
London. Even King George II
heard the distinguished American
divine, and. astonished and de-
lighted by his eloquence. sent for
him TO receive him kindly and pre-
sent him with a large sum of
money for the college. In 1859

ILLUSTRATION USED IN MOTHERS DAY
''.'@ '.. SERVICE H.
SAMUEL DAVIS ONE TIME PRESIDENT OF PRINCETON, NEW
CASTLE COUNTY MAN

of Princeton College to succeed
the distinguished metaphysician,
Jonathan Edwards. His labors in
the new office brought him to an
untimely end. He died February
4th, 1851, when he was only 81
Years of age. 1t is a matter of
strong probability that President
Davies powerfully influenced Pat
rick Henry, who from his eleventh
to his twenty-second year lived in
the peighborhood of Hanover, and
frequently heard the divine
preach. Davies was by nature fit
ted for oratorical work. He was
tall, well-proportioned and erect.
His voice was loud, clear and fex-
ible; his gestures graceful. His
very carriage, as one expresses it,
"n,ade him look like the ambas-
sador of some great King" AT
times. in impassioned speech his
fiery oratory held his hearers
spell-bound: 1t is no wonder that
the !" youthful Patrick Henry
spoke in terms of enthusiasm of
Mr.. Davies. who first kindled the
fire, and afforded the model Of his
elocution. = Z, When he became
President Of Princeton College. he
set about to remedy the defect in
his early training in the physical
science, with the result that he
neglected to give his body proper
exercise, and hence an infamma-
tory fever in 1.-TWO days brought his
life to an end.
His success he attributed
to the training received from
his mother. In a letter written to
a friend in London he said: 4
