one hundred years ago. wnen
steamboat line was run from sea-
ford to Norfolk Va, by the steamer
norfolk" The line was kept run
ming for twenty years and then
abandoned. Prior to the steam
boat line sail vessels were USED 10
carry iron ore from Seatord TO NOT
folk. Vast mines of iron ore had
then been discovered just above sea-
ford. but the small amount OF iron
extracted from this ore and the
heavy expense of transportation
made the business improbable and
if was abandoned. The steamboat
traffic, did not produce revenue
enough to make it profitable.
However, in 1856, when the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad was completed
To Seaford connections were made pc
tween Seaford station and Norfolk.

THIS line survived until the road was
extended to Pooomoke City, Md, ana
short time afterwards was built as
fat as Cape Charles, Va.
In 1850 the steame T Wilson Small
was put into service from Seatord 10

"oNCE TO EVERY WOMAN" AT
 PALACE

The Palace presents, in an artistic manner. for the first three days of this week. Dorothy Phillips in the most talked about photoplay of this year. "Once to Every Woman Spe- cia1 effects will be introduced during the action and Mrs. !. J. Crean. the well known local soloist, has been en- gagged to do the solo work with the photoplay. "Once to Every Woman" is a human document. Its characters are ordinary mortals. and the homely atmosphere of the early scenes, with its pictures of life in a small town, struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of many in the audience. The story is of a selfish daughter of the household. who accepts the sac rifices of the rest of the family be- cause she has been blessed with a voice. and. when these sacrifices are the means of placing her at the pin nacIe of her art. she forgets her humble beginning and those who made possible her success. But in the hour of need she finds happiness in the old home and learns the value of a mothers love.

shirts, coats, and other wearing ap-
parel were torn from the backs of the
owners but no one was seriously
hurt. Those who had been forewarn-
ed were dressed in their oldest
clothes and some wore padded bas-
ketball pants under military trousers.
and had donned football shoes. The
lively scrap lasted Is minutes. At the
close, one bag had been moved to-
ward the freshman goal, one toward
the sophomore goal. and the third
lad remained almost stationary.
Thus the result was very close, but
the decision was given by the Senior
Skulls to the sophomores.
After the bag scrap, the freshmen
started for the power house to blow
the whistle, but found that the sopho-
mores, who had anticipated this
move. had already sent detachment
to hold the whistle. On discovering
this situation, several freshmen, in;
Guiding Herbert Sawyer of Augusta,
succeeded in getting the fire hose
connected to nearby hydrant.
Thereupon the regular scrap was
staged. Twice the sophomores rush
ed the hose but were driven back
with a good soaking. The third time
they were successful in making the
freshmen drop the hose and scrap.

for '25.' No one was seriously hurt
and one Augusta boy remarked Sun
day, as he sat watching his clothes
drying on the radiator. Il wouldn't
have missed that scrap for a ten dol

Because the bag scrap has been so
successful at the University of
| Maine, having always proved good
fun, with no serious damage done, it
has been adopted in many colleges
and universities to take the place of
flag rushes. cane rushes, and other
such novel occasions.
