TIDE ENCROCHING ON SHORES

That the waters Of the Delaware bay
are gradually encroaching along the
Delaware coast is being proven plainly
in many sections, but conclusively so at
Bowers Beach where it has taken away
nearly half mile of the resort. 1t is
demonstrated at Kits Hammock, Kent
county's summer resort, where the cot
tages have repeatedly been moved back
inland. The little town of Bowers
Beach is one of the Oldest in Delaware,
having been founded in 1875 by VIM.
Withwell, who obtained the land grant
of 1400 acres from the Duke of York.
The first building was constructed by
Mr.. Withwell on a site that is now many
feet under water, and is nearly a half
mile from the present water line. It
was called "WitbweIl's Delight, "and
was gradually moved in shore as the
water encroached on it. The property
finally passed into the hands of With
wells son-in-law, John Bowers, from
which the place derived its name of
Bowers Beach. For years the spot has
boen favorite bathing place and re-
creation ground for Delawareans. The
old graveyard at Bowers Beach contains
a number of rough stones that mark
the graves of the Bowers family.

SECRETARY BOYD SENDS PRESS
PROCEEDINGS.

A copy of the proceedings of the
National Negro Press Association has
just reached this office. 1t marks the
fourth appearance of the regular
printed minutes of the Association
and contains a stenographic report of
the general session beld in Nashville
last February, with the proceedings
of the executive committee meeting
at Boston, Mass, last August. One
of the attractive features of the pro-
ceedings is this, it has a full page cut
of the newly elected president, the
Hon. Chris ]. Perry, n of the veter-
an newspaper editors, who for thirty
years has stood at the helm of the
Philadelphia Tribune. The proceed
ings also have the full plan of the
Vigilance Committee, (which is com
posed of each member of the EXecu-
tive Committee. They also have a
list of the officers and the names and
addresses of the Executive Commit
tee, together with the constitution of
the National Negro Press Association.
These proceedings are furnished only
to the newspaper fraternity. In look
ing over them it can be een that step
by step the newspaper men have
brought out something tangible and
now they have an organization that
bids fair to do credit to the craft.

BIG MEN AND BIGGER MEN.

In the National Negro Business
League which opened its first session
Of the seventeenth annual meeting
yesterday, are many men who have
made good in the way of pushing
ahead in life. These men are of two
classes, viz, the big men and the big
ger men.
The big men are the men who are
just now grasping the idea Of the mo-
tive of this great enterprise, and the
bigger men are the men who have
long since grasped the idea and have
helped to send shafts of light into
the unexplored fields which represent
ed uncovered gold mines of profitable
business for the Negro.
But the big men will grow into that
class of bigger men, because they are
getting that food, that inspiration
which makes all men prosper, some
thing to think about.
1t has been written hat "the man
who succeeds in business must first
of all be a man who can think, reason
and plan. In the National Negro
Business, if a man be wise to the
habit Of making observations and
keeping a record of them, he will
find much to help him think, reason
and plan, and thus grow into a bigger
and better business man, and a more
useful member of the race.
