"StOp MY Paper

The publisher of a newspaper, and
especially a county sheet, has often to
hear the words stop my paper" We
eau respect a man who may refuse to
take his local paper when he has the
SHADOW OF a good reason for it, though
we may depreciate his judgment a tritie.
Bnt we have a wholesale contempt for
one who will receive a paper tor "a num-
Der OF years aud then, when asked TO
pay, plead the baby act or refuse to take
it from the p~ostofice when he owes a
back subscrIp.on, or II who from some
fancied imposition won't take the paper
because, by withholding his patronage,
he thinks he can break it up.
The columns OF a paper are the pub
~lisler's stock i'll trade, and those who
ask to use them for their special be netit
must expect 10 pay tor the same. Prob
ably every newspaper in the land has
occasionly had TO deal with that class
OF people who once i'll a great while have
occasion to use an inch space in the
advertising columns for a week or two,
and when the time came to pay a very
reasonable price for what had probably
benefited the advertiser a hundred fold
or better, did it under protest and
ordered his paper discontinued.
Every rejecting mind knows that
every new house, every road, every new
manufacturing establishment, every 10
business opened enhances the value Of
property in the town. Every rejecting
mind knows this to be true, and it should
not be forgotten thas the local paper adds
much to the general wealth and prosper
ity of The place, as well as increasing
the reputation of the town abroad. 1t
benefits all who have business in the
place and enhances the value of roperty,
besides being a public convenience; it
increases trade, cautions against imlosi-
ton and points out different advantages.
But "a newspaper is not for the pur-
pose of dispensing public charity, but is
a business enterprise just as mnch as
any store or mandatory in the place,
and supports itself in the same. At
the same time the newspaper, OF course,
should endeayor to do its full share to-
wards aiding in the PROCESS of the
neighborhOod in which it is located,
and having to work for a living is en-
titled to fair remuneration for services
rendered. Srebesb0ro Times.

Once more we are called upon to re
cord the death of one of our young and
prosperous members of society, Charles
c. Blohm, and in SC doing we realize
that it will be with profound regret
that his many friends and acquaintences
will receive the sad news,
He had been sick for nearly a year
with the dreaded disease consumption.
But during that time was not confined
TO his bed for more than three weeks
previous to his death, which was OH
the morning of the Is inst. He had
never made any public profession of re-
ligion previous to his sickness, but dur
ing the last three months of his life, he
manifested a strong interest in his fu-
ture welfare, and totally resignedj and
those who were with him in his last
hours can testify to his firm belief in a
happier and better existence beyond the
grave.
He was a member Of good standing
in two beneficial orders, viz, Knights
of Pythias," and" United Order of
American Mechanics" The members
of both orders having turned out in full
force upon the day of the funeral (Sat.
21st) to pay the final tributes of respect
to a worthy and honorable brother.
To the griefstricken family, whose
mist ortune it has been to already have
three of their children taken, we ten
der our deepest sympathy, and only
trust that in the loss of our esteemed
friend, It will tend to the leading of a
purer and more noble life in the young
men of our community.
On Friday morning Mr.. Edward z.
Barnart, of South P~ennsgrove, died.
He was q consistent member of the NJ.
E. Church, and an earnest worker in
the Sunday school.

Scraps Ofthe Early History
of Salem County.
OFFICE OF CLERK AND SURROGATE

AT what time tho first Office was
built is not known.
There was a Surrogate appointed for
the county, Salem being the county
seat, which frst included the territory
of Camden, Gloucester, Cumberland,
Cape May and Salem.
AT the first meeting Of the board Of
choseL freeholders, in May, 1913, WIN.
Smit Clemant Hall, Richard Smith
and Samuel smith were appointed q
committee to settle with Anthony
Keasby, one of the commissioners for
building the Clerks Office of the coun-
ty, and at a subsequent meeting in the
same year this committee reported that
such settlement was made, and that
the sum of fifteen pounds one shilling
and one penny was due to Mr. keasDy.
This was a small brick building Oh the
line of the street, Immediately in front
of the present Clerk and Surrogate's
office. At a meeting in June, 1894,
the board of f~reeholders ordered THAT
a room fourteen feet IN the clear, the
width of the present Clerks office, be
built of brick at the north end of the
SAID office, for the use OF the Surrogate.
During half a century, AID till the bus
luess OF the county came to require lar
ger accommodations, these buildings
were tue offices of the county Clerk
and Surrogate.
At Il meeting OF the ~freeholders, in
August, 1850, Samuel T.. Carpenter,
Joseph Kille, Smith Bllderback, BENZ.
5. Holmes and William A. Nelson were
appointed a cofnmitIee to visit other
offices, draft a plan, aid make an es-
innate Of the probable cost of a build
ing for a Surrogate and Clerks office.
In October of tue same year the COM
mIttee reported, the plan Of building,
specifications of materials, and WORK
mansnip we're exhibited and submitted
to the consideration Ut the board. The
committee was directed to advertise
for proposals for the work and materi-
als of said office, jointly or separately,
generally according to the design and
specifications of Z. Cummings, which
have been approved by this board, aud
that they proceed with the erection Ut
the said office by contract with all con-
venlent Dispatch" Pending the erec-
ZION of this building the public records
were deposited in the court house.
Messrs. Wilson d Dove were the con-
tractors for the erection Of this build
ing, but they abandoned their contract,
and the building committee WAS au-
thorized and Instructed to complete the
work, according to tue original de-
signs, i'll such q way as in their judg-
ment would be conducive to the inter-
ests Of the county. At the annual
meeting, i'll 1902, William IL. Nelson,
John Ii. Lambert, and joshua j Thomp-
son were appointed q committee to at
tend to the completion and furnishing
of the county offices. Early in 1858
the building Was reported complete,
aud accepted. 1t is u brick strucl ure,
thirty-siH by forty-eight feet in size,
having the Clerks Office in the South
and the ~Surrogate's in the North part.
Tine records are kpuL in the redI OF
each OF the offices, which is completely
proof against fire from the outside,
having thick double walls and an arch

Relics.

We have been shown by James S.
Layton a collection of Old coins which
are quite a curiosity. Most of them
were found on his farm. One was IA
Spanish silver dollar dated 1891. Four
copper coins bore the coat of arms of
New Jersey, and the words "Nova Ces-
sera" on n side and ON the other, en-
sign of the United States, dated 1897.
they are most likely old pennies of New
Jersey as the States use to coin money.
Two coins bore on n SIDE the head of
George IL and on the other Brittania.
One of them was dated 1876; the other
not discernable. Three had ON them
the head of George Ill aud Jirittania;
n dated, 1875, the other not discern
able, one, the head of George ", date
not discernable, II bore on one side
the coat of arms of Ireland and the
word Hibernia, on the other side, the
head of a British King, dated 1850.
There wers several old cents and half
cents of the United States bearing
dates, 1898, 1904, 1918, 1877 and some
dates hot discernable. Among the col
lection WIRE two Coins struck in com
memoration of Jaeksop's victory yer
the United States Banks. On one was
a mule and the words "'Roman firm
ness, - C. the Constitution as l under
stand it," On the other a hog running
