Browns Mills
We noticed in The News of the
14th inst, an article on buying
and selling votes, or the purity Of the
ballot box. If there is a place in
New Jersey to which it applies it is
this. We are sorry such is the case,
but we honestly believe that out of
about go votes in this vicinity, at
lesst one-half Of them received pay
for their ballots, and we heard some
of them tell the candidates that they
should vote for the party that gave
them the most money. Since election
it is not uncommon to hear one man
remark to another, Chow much did
you get?" Give dollars" "Oh, /
got six, l beat you," is the reply. I
think at least 200 we're sold to the
highest bidder in this township at the
last election. Now is it not time that
such things were stopped7 Those
who sell their votes look for and ex-
poet the paymaster the day following
the election just the same as if they
had done days work, and he comes
quite as regular. We hope that you
will continue to advocate that some
law be devised by which such shame.
full proceedings may be checked il
moi stopped, and we feel con6den!
that business men Of all parties will
say amen to such thing. Keep the
ball rolling, aud let us bave one hon.
est election if no more, and let the
few men in this township who buy
votes the same as merchandise have
check placed upon them.

COLUMBUS
Mrs. Mary Bradley, an old lady liv-
ing with her son near here, fell from
the door step of her home last Friday,
causing the dislocation of her right
shoulder and some severe bruises
about her head and face. Medical
assistance was rendered as soon as
possible and it is believed that she
is in fair way to recover.
A fact that speaks loudly in favor OF
the honesty of the farmers Of this
vicinity is that more quarts of milk
are shipped from here than any other
point in the county and not one
drop of adulterated milk has been
officially detected among that number.
