ARIZONA COTTON PRODUCTION

That was a piece of good news sent out from Washington in reference to the favorable reception which Arizona raised cotton was accorded in Liver pool. It firmly establishes the market for this product beyond any doubt for the future. Not only in England, but Eastern spinners of this country have signified a willingness to take all the product of the Salt River val ley instead of importing it as here tofore from Egypt.

name farm AGENTS
FOR Three COUNTIES

Trustees of Delaware College met
in the Hotel Dupont. last Monday when
the provisions of the Smith Lever bill
passed by the last session of Congress
for the extension of agricultural work
IN the various State colleges of the
country was considered. The agricul-
tural committee of the college submitted
its report on the proposed extension
work anditwas approved. The Smith
Lever bill provides an appropriation of
$4,000 annually to the several states
for the extension of agricultural and
home economics.
The trustees appointed the county
agents to see that the agricultural eX-
tension work is carried on: Levi A..
COOch, for New Castle County; NJ. o..
Pence, Kent County, and w. p. Pelton,
for Sussex County. All the agents are
experienced agriculturalists, it is said.
The trustees are considering the appoint
ment of an instructor in home ecOnOm-
les, but this position was left open. As
it will most likely be "a woman, the
trustees left the matter in the hands Of
DR.. Mitchell, president of the college,
and Miss Robinson, dean Of the Woman $
College.
The meeting was attended by Chan
cellor Charles NJ. Curtis, DR.. Geo. w.
Marshall, DR.. H. G. NJ. Kollock, John
C. Higgins, Colonel L. w. Mustard,
Frank Bancroft, S. H. Derby. Thomas
Davis, William T. Lyman, Edward T.
Hearn, Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, pro-
fessor of the college; Professor Harry
j. Haywood and S. H. Messick.
The trustees decided that the money
appropriated for this work by the gov
ernment should be used in educating
the colored residents of the State as
well as the white citizens in carrying
educational work to the farm, and the
idea of allowing the State College for
Colored Students to have charge of the
work among their race was considered. 1t
was claimed, however. that as Governor
Miller had named Delaware College to
administer the funds appropriated, it
would be better to have the funds dis
tributed by one head, Delaware College.

BOWERS BIG THURSDAY.

Bowers Beach yesterday was the
Mecca towards which hundreds of Della
wareans. and former Delawareans
wended their way. Early Wednesday
afternoon the crowds commenced to
gather in large numbers, and by dark
the beach was well filled with people.
The merchants and dance hall reported
a rushing business that night. Thurs
day morning early, steady streams Of
automobiles, carriages, wagons and all
kinds of vehicles wended their way to
the beach. Fakirs in large numbers,
merry-go rounds, base ball games and
other amusements kept the crowd l1
excellent humor. The motor boats and
launches were kept busy all day carry
ing parties, out for rides while other
parties engaged in fishing. The river
was filled with boats. Notwithstanding
the fact that the burned district has
not been entirely rebuild, it is estimated
that the largest crowd in the history OF
the resort was present.

FINED FOR A NUISANCE.

Several young colored men were ar
raigned before Esquire Cannon last Sat
urday, charged with hooting and annoy
ing the home of a colored woman. It
appears that there are several colored
girls between the ages of fifteen and
twenty who have white men lovers, and
this has become an annoyance to the
colored youths who desire to break up
this rotten moral condition now existing.
They seem to have in part accomplished
their object, for they have attracted
the authorities to the case in question,
and the police will attempt to get evil
dence on which to make arrests of the
offending parties. Of course the white
men in question are of the poor white
trash" kind, which are neither respected
by the negroes or considered of any con
sequence by the white people. The young
men were fined 81 each for disorderly
conduct, but unfortunately the colored
girls escaped any punishment along with
their paramours; mistakenly called white
men.

A REMINDER.

Last week it was planned to only issue
eight pages for that issue of the Chroni-
Gle. and for that reason the makeup OF
the paper was changed considerable.
and at the last hour it was found that
fine space available would necessitate
the omission from the news columns
several articles already in type. This
made it necessary to leave out that
which was of the least general import
ance to the public in general Several
GOOD items of news, which would have
found place, were left out because they
were sent to the Office on Thursday
morning. The Chronicle sends its forms
TO press for four of its pages on We'd
nesdav afternoon. and anything to get
place should be in on Tuesday: All
Church news items (for which no charge
is made) should be and can be in hand
bv Tuesday evening, and all similar
items should be sent at that time.
