The Old Camp Ground
To Be Made Beautiful

At the last state fair the campus
club appointed a committee consisting
of Judge Galloway, County Commits
siOner Beckwith and Mr. Simerol, to ar
range for Identifying the camp ground
lat the state fair, and to urge upon the
county and city the necessity of a
hard surfaced road to tne grounds.
AT the request of the state fair
board the committee conferred with it
today on the matter and urged that the
grounds be no longer used as a COW pas
ture, that the lots in the camp ground
be permanently marked and the streets
improved. The ground is level, and the
water stands ON it after a hard rain
Mayor Tozier wrote Judge Galloway
that the ground were unsanitary and
not now suitable for camping purposes
The committee suggested the grounds
be put in shape and placed in charge
of someone, and that they be advertised
as free camping grounds for tourists
during the summer. Salem S Floral So
ciety, if the streets are laid out, prom
isees to plant roses and other flowers
and to beautify tne grounds.
The board thanked Judge Galloway
and the committee for their interest
and promised to cooperate with them
in having the historic old camp ground
improved and made habitlble.

Thousands of women who are now

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-William Durst, the last survivor of the Moni- tor in that ships famous engagement at Hampton Roads with the Confed- crate ironclad Merrimac, died yester- day from pneumonia at his home, 1915 George street He was at work Monday at the city pumping station, and was taken ill in the night. He was seventy-six years old.
 Durst was born in Tarnov, Aus tria, May 6, 1889. He ran away from home before he was twenty and came to this country, enlisting in the navy. He was one of the crew picked expressly for service on the Monitor.
 During the battle with the Merri- mac he acted as orderly for Lieuten- ant Worden, carrying messages from the little iron pilot house to the tur- ret, where Lieutenant Greene was directing the fire of the guns.
 Durst was absent on sick leave in December, 1862, when the Monitor went down, with most of her crew, in a gale off Cape Hatteras. He re- turned to service on the Galena, and in the closing years of the war was stationed on the monitor ports. He was mustered out at the Catskill, which blockaded Southern Philadel- phia Navy Yard in 1865
