KILLED ANOTHER DYING

Georgetown Del, David Mailer,
of Milford, was instantly killed
and Doctor Roberts, of this place
seriously injured when Nallers
automobile was hit on the Mary
land and Virginia Railroad, about
a half mile from Milton. Robert
Walls, of Milton, who was in the
car, was tossed out, but escaped
without injury.
The men were speeding along
the road just outside of Milton and
attempted crossing where sight
of the approaching train was ND
den by buildings on the side OF
the road, The train demolished
the machine. The engineer, Neck
torn, of Love Point, says that he
signaled the crossing as usual.
Doctor Roberts is not expected to
live.

in these memorable
words:
China has been dying from this
curse for more than half a century
fifty-nine years, to be exact, Her
people, overcome by this vile drug
have been asleep and have not
known that they and their country
were dying. Years ago the nation
appealed for outside aid Units sup
preston, and the world knows
what aid was rendered. The drug
was forced upon us more than be-
fore. For nearly sixty years 1t
has stood as great crime of
humanity. But we will stop it,
and free the land of the devouring
scourge. Our National Assembly
has already passed many laws
regarding it, and these laws will
be enforced. We are establishing
an army, and that army will fight
opium and opium smugglers on all
the frontiers of land and sea, opium
dealers and subdealers in all of the
cities and towns, and opium users
everywhere.
1t now remains for China to
adopt strong measures to stop the
cultivation of the poppy at home.
Until that is done thoroughly, hel
people will continue to be slaves
of the old time habit. This has
been done in some districts, but
in others official interference is
slight, and the usual opium harvest
will be as big as ever this year. L
China means to utilize the monop
oily to her own financial advantage
and does not stop the cultivation
of the drug, her people will hav'
gained little by the sacrifice 0
India's trade.

of the students.
The afternoon and evening gen.
eral lectures are proving of great
benefit. Last week superintendent
Twitmyer addressed the students
on educational Problems in Della
ware, On Monday evening, Sup
erintendent Spaid delivered an IL
Illustrated lecture on the subject,
" The Nesting Places of the Blue
Hens Chickens. y In the course
of his lecture, Professor Spaid
dwelt on the early history of the
State, referring to the settlements
by De Vries at Lewes inlG3l and
by the Swedes on the Christiana in
1888. OF much interest were the
slides showing the many things OF
historical importance in the State,
such as the New Castle County
Court House, the stone marking
the point at which the three states
of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and
Delaware meet, Cooch's Bridge and
the Mansion, and the Friends
Meeting Place made famous by
Washington's visit, In connection
with his slides showing some of the
school houses of New Castle County
Professor Spaid gave much helpful
advice to the teachers. The slides
which were shown covered the ter
ritory of the whole state, and were
therefore of interest to the students
from the three counties. On Tues
day evening, a lecture was given
by Mrs. Reeve of Moorestown, N.
j., on the subject, tGood Roads

When President Yuan Shi Kai
some time ago publicly announced
that the government Of China
would leave no stone unturned
until it had wholly suppressed
the opium traffic in the new re-
public, those who had been fight
ing the evil with varying success
for many years took fresh hope
Now, further occasion for en-.
enlargement of its ultimate
suppression comes from the official
statement i'll the Observation-Disclosures
that the English Government is
preparing to revise the 1911 treaty
and will send no more opium to
China, Under the present treaty,
China, when the present stock OF
opium was consumed, would hav,
the right to receive from Indi;
another and final supply of 25, O0t
chests more, representing reven
ue of $50, 900, 0OO to England, bu

The fourth week Of the Summer
School for teachert shows a final
registration for the various courses
of 1853, several students having en-
tered at the middle of the session
for the purpose evidently of pre-
pairing for the examinations of the
State Board of Education. These
examinations will he held at the
State Board of Education. These
examinations will be held by the
College ON Friday and Saturday,
July 25 and July %. For the ex
aminations, 10 students of the
school have already handed in their
names. The majority of the stug
dents will take all Of the examina-
ITions, the average number of exam
nations for each student running
above eight.
Additional facts and casual com.
ment illustrate the seriousness with
which most Of the students are APP
preaching the work of the school
and the varied benefits resulting
from the prescribed work of the
courses, from the opportunities for
independent reading, and helpful
exchange of ideas, and from the
general afternoon and evening lee
lures. Two significant facts to edu-
Gators at least, are, first, that 80
per cent of the students of the
school are taking the full number
of courses allowed-that is, four
courses, with one additional course
if it is Drawing or Primary Meth
DDS and, second, that 81. rs per cent
of the opportunities of the school
are thus being realized, the differ
ence in percentage being explained
by the fact that every student
might have taken five courses, il
is matter of much qualification
to the authorities of the school
however, that contrary to theil
, feeling at the opening of the SEES
sion, students are now beginning t.

Mr., Brown was on the stand all
day. Mr.. Brown said the Navarro
Refining company had been dissolv-
ed as a trust because II maintained
no selling agency. The n i.arro, he
said. had been rcorganized with Il
selling agency and is still being pro-
secuted as a trust.
a letter from G. n. Payne of Tit
usville, Pa. to Mr.. Brown. in Septem-
ber. 1910. was introduced to show
the alleged connection of the Mag
nolia with the Waters Pierce com
pany. The letter said:
81 have your telegram 23rd stating
you would see II. c. Pierce in st.
Louis next Monday. | am very glad
indeed you will have this interview
and hope ii will lead to the acquiring
OF his Texas distributing business.
OF course Mr.. E'olger has Pierces
borrowed estimate on the value OF
his Texas property on which Pierce
borrowed 60 per cent. This will be
good guide for us on valuation.
However, no doubt he will say one
was his purchasing price and the
other would he ms SelllnS price.
There was an effort to show that
the Magnolia company had not been
organized pending the outcome of
antitrust legislation in the Texas
legislature.
Competitors We're after MS and
we did not think 1t good business

ton" the witness said.
Mr. Brown testified that the intro
duction of the stevens Bill' in the
Texas legislature by "some of our
friends" sthew rters termed the
authors. delayed organization of the
Magnolia company. This law which
placed certain restrictions in purch-
asing property of companies which
had been declared trusts was consid-
cred unfair by the company he said.
