$4,000 GIFT
TO INSTITUTION
BY NATIVE SON
Washington College Gets Hand
some Donation From A
Worcester COuntian

Washington College, the "Shore's"
only institution of higher learning,
was the recipient this month of a gift
of $4,000, this sum to be applied to
the erection of library building. DR..
George A. Bunting, of Baltimore, was
the donor.
While DR.. Bunting is widely known
as the manufacturer of more widely
known medicinal remedy, still it may
not be as widely known that he is a
son of old Worcester and boasts Bish-
opville as his native place. He re-
ceived his early education in the pub
lie schools of this county, afterwards
entered Washington College where he
was graduated in 1891.
He has ever since shown a splendid
loyalty to his Alma Mater, and the
splendid gift is his latest evidence Of
his attachment. He was president Of
the Alumni Association, and has been
ever watchful for the interest of the
old and time-honored institution.
Hodson Hall, just completed at a
cost of nearly $4,000; recent legacy
of $4,000 from the Foxwell estate;
and the gift of DR.. Bunting, all serve
to enhance the efficiency of the school
and the capacity attendance every
year shows that it's educational adj
vantages are appreciated in many
states.
The gift of DR.. Bunting will go far
toward stabilizing the position of the
college as a standard institution. It
is now so classed, but the lack of
library facilities was one of the mild
criticisms against it by those who
were in authority to rate the col
eges of the country. DIR. Bunting is
to be highly commended for his splen-
lid iberality.

MIAMI. Fla, Jan. %. (UP)-
State Rep. George f. Holt. OF
Miami. announced last night he is
drafting a measure for introduc-
ton in the legislature April 6 to
substitute unicamcral govern
ment for the present two-house
system in Florida.
His plan, Holt said, calls for
reduction OF the present legislative
body of 1885 representatives
and 35 senators--to so, all OF
whom would be senators.
Holt explained under such a
system the more populous centers
will have greater representation
and consequently more voice in
government. He said at present
the minoritieS Of population have
virtual control of the states law
making bodies.
The measure, Holt said, will be
i'm the form of two resolutions,
one calling for a constitutional
amendment, and the other for a
state constitutional convention.
Accepting of either resolution
will place il before the people.

PROBEPUSHED
Body Of Mill Workers Wife
Found In Well Near
Statesville

STATESVILLE, Jan. 90. CUP)
County officials last night plan
ned thorough investigation before
completing a cOrOner'S inquest
into the death Of Mrs. Lou West
moreland, dark-haired bride whose
body was found in n deep well at
her father-in-law'S home.
After questioning five witness
rs. a Jury convened by Coroner

20-year-Old woman, married two
months ago to a mill worker, died
before being thrown into "a 55-
foot narrow well Tuesday night.

moreland ended Wednesday night
when her pajama-clad body was
discovered in the well at the home
of II. II. WcStmOreland, in the
Amity mill community near here.
The young bride lived with her
husbands family while he worked
in a mill at MoOresville.
McElwee said the wOman's
skull had been crushed by a ter
rifle blow" and that absence of
water in her lungs indicated she
died before falling into the well.
Witnesses during the inquest
yesterday were the fathcr-in-law,
his town daughters, Marie and
Rachael, his sor, Robert, and a
deputy sheriff. Ed Daniels, who
climbed into the well to retrieve
the body.
Their testimony developed that

Mooresville because Of bad wealth
CIR and buddy roads. Next morn
ing, when Marie called her TO
breakfast, the young matron was
missing. and her bed apparently
had not been slept in. No cloth
ing except a pair of pajamas was
missing.
Robert said bucket of water
he drew from the well early yes
terday for the horses looked
muddy" and the animals refused
20 drink il. II was several hours
later. however. before search for
the woman turned to the well.
Solicitor Charles Coggins and

POPESUFFERS
UNBEARABLY

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 22. CUP
Pope Plus XI. said by Vatican
officials to be slipping slowly to-
ward death" tossed rcstlcsSly early
today as fierce pains spread
through both legs.
He slept "agitatcdly' owing 10
the wracking pains, an authorized
spokesman announced at | 30 a.
M, and his critical condition re-
manned unchanged.
Gravely concerned over what
obviously was crisis in the Pom
tiff's long illness, Vatican prelates
said he remained alive only be-
cause of prayer and his logged
will power" He was said to be
suffering unbearable pain
How many hours, days or weeks
the Holy Father may last before
entering his final death agony
depends entirely on his uncertain
heart, officials said.
The Pontiff himself termed his
suffering as understandable His
intimates redoubled their prccau-
tions to avert a new heart attack
The Holy Father complained OF
thirSt-hc is allowed only one pint
of water daily because of his
urinary troublc-and frequently
gasped for breath as knife-like
pains stabbed his disease-wracked
legs.
Unless tire pains subside today.
allowing the Pontiff to rest, Off
Gals said L would be necessary
for his Holiness to cancel all flu
ture audiences.
After one of long spasms of
pain which he suffers, the Pope
turned to Doctor Aminta Miami
and said:
ut is curious that these legs,
which gave me so much pleasure
mountain climbing, should in my
last days give me so much pain.
The Pontiff hoped, however,
that he could live at least until the
18th anniversary of his election,
Feb. 6.
Anxiety spread throughout Vat
lean City last night following a
visit TO his Holiness of former
King Alfonso of Syain.

could look away from the lighted
lawn, with its color and its move

he looked across the shadowing Of

and saw his own kingdom again,
fair under the summer sky, with
it's bustling cities, it's neat and
smiling countryside, its great my
Rad of people weaving the unend-
ing pattern of their history.
And it seemed that he could
see the long procession of his
predecessors, the kings who had
reigned before him, passing in
ghostly review.
And all of them. it seemed, had
this in common-that they served
a greater thing than themselves,
sometimes without knowing it,
sometimes falteringly and unccr,
tainly, but always instinctlvely
and, in the end, faithfully. They
had found their freedom in serv'
ice, and they stood out now, not
so much as individuals but as fig,

as men who marched in time to
the beat of some drum that could
summon men to transcend them
