Cut His Timber.

A case which if fought out would
have proved of considerable interest,
was commenced in Squire Riley's court
Friday afternoon. 1t was an action
brought for damages upon the part of
W. ID. Hepner against jeremiah T.
Conner. j. /. VanSyckle represented
the plaintiff and John S. Mitchell the
defendant. Van opened his case by
calling to the stand the plaintiff, Mr..
Hepner. He said that he had bought
some land atan executors sale of the es-
tate ofa widow by the name OF Johnson,
and much of it was wood land. He had
gotten deed for the property and pro
ducedthe document. A man by the
name ofHusted had gone ON the prop
erty at one time after he came in posses
sion, and cut timber from it for one
jeremiah I. Conner. He notified him
to quit. Afterward Mr.. Conner him
self came upon the property and cut
timber the entire damage estimated
by the witness to be about $25 The
timber was young growth and valua-
bic.
Daniel Hustled told the Squire after
he had been sworn, that he had cut
the timber for Mr.. Conner. He stopped
work upon the property after he had
been notified.
Geo. Hepner swore to the value of
the wood cut and the damage to the
land. $25 would cover it in bis opin-
ion, With this witness the plaintiff
rested their case. and Mr.. Mitchell
called the defendant:
You are the defendant in this caseg'
he asked of Mr.. Conner.
Il am" replied that gentleman.
That's all, )" remarked Mr.. Mitchell.
We rest" This action was taken
merely to appeal to court, and of
course the Justice found Judgment
against the defendant.
NIt's a fine point OF law,n remarked
MI aVanSytkle to reporter after
ward. "You see lot of property was
sold by the estate and Conner cried
the sale, and for his pay was given a
piece of wood land But as real estate
cannot be transferred without "a deed,
| think we've got him.

Tomato Growers.

A large number of farmers were in
this city Saturday, and a reporter of
the PIONEER took advantage of the
fact and got the opinion of many on
the question of getting an increased
price for their tomatoes the coming
season. Few were found who had not
signed the agreement to refuse less
than $500 per ton for their tomatoes.
and yet many Of them thought they
would not be able to get it. The rea-
sons were obvious, the principal ones
being, first, that many contracts had
been mado previous to the meeting Of
the farmers, and $G.C0 per ton had
been the price set. Men could not 60
back on their agreements, consequently
here was an obstacle. Then again.
If the farmers who had been furnish
ing tomatoes, refused to raise them
for 5000, there would be MANY who
had not been raising them that would
be induced by the packers to do So
Still there is one thing in their favor
and that was, the experienced tomato
growers could produce better article
than farmers who had not been used
to raising them. The outcome of the
matter will be awaited with consider.
able interest.

A BUILDING BOOM.
Scores Of New Buildings to
be Erected this
Spring.

A small army of builders and me
chanies are anxiously awaiting the
advent of Spring, when building oper,
ations will be begun on a more exten-
slve scale than even during the past
prosperous season. Notwithstanding
the large number OF dwellings erected
last Summer and Fall, many more will
be put up this Spring and Summer. All
of our contractors have umerous con-
tracts for the erection of new build,
| ings. These will include new houses
on nearly every street in Bridgeton.
Some of the buildings will be stores.
and changes in many of our more
prominent business places down town
are at presant contemplated.
| A. f. Randolph probably leads the
builders in the number of contracts
they have on hand. The most i'm
portant of these is the building of the
freight depot on South Pearl street,
and g. o, Davis brick stores. He has
several fine houses to build in the
Fourth and Third wards. w. C. Whit.
aker Il Co., have several contracts
on hand, as have Smith g. Conover.
Chas. Williams and Ackley & Allen
will also build some dwellings for ou,
citizens.
| York street new thoroughfare in
the Fourth ward will be greatly built
up. Leander Sharp and David Lodel
will bnild there. By June the con
tractfor the handsome new station or
South Pearl street will be given out
and small army of workers will push
il to an early completion.
This work will greatly prosper oul
city. 1t will give many men employ.
ment and add much to the value and
appearance of the place We are glad
to know of these prospects, and hope
that at the end of the year the big
permit book. up at the Mayors office
will have taken from it more than two
hundred and twenty nine permits fol
the erection of handsome new build
ings.
| Wees the corning season will bt
about the same as last year. Carpen
ters' journeymen will receive 50. 90 PEI

year they received $20O per day, bu
this year they demand 50 so, and claim
that they will not work for one penny
less. Contractors say that they can
not pay it if they take contracts at th,
same rate as in the past. Before tn,
end Of this month, however, all thes,
| difficulties will be settled, and th
music of the saw and hammer will b.

Rascally Tramps.

Last Friday afternoon a number of
tramps were out in the vicinity of
East Lake and made it decidedly un-
pleasant for the neighborhood. One
burly fellow went to the home of Mr..
Jacob Kaufman, on Coral avenue,
and asked Mrs. Kaufman for some
thing to eat. She said she had moth
ing for them but bread and butter,
and to this the good for nothing rascal
replied ID it amt you got any,
thing better than that?'' and he then
made an effort to get hold of her arm,
but she quickly slammed the door in
his face and locked it. The door
caught the williams arm and hurt him
slightly, and he called out D--you,
J. will get even with you for that" !"
Later, the lady was up stairs dressing,
and without warning a stone as large
as a mans fist crashed through the
window and fell at her feet. Looking
out she saw the inhuman devil stand
ing near by, and it was he who had
thrown the missile. Pity it is that a
whipping post has not been established
in this city for the punishment of such
offenders.

Visited Poultry Farms.

Last week Phillip E. Souders and
George Douglass of this city, visited
Hammonton, to go over the famous
Broiler Farms. The visit they speak
of as most agreeable and interesting.
They were pleasantly received by the
poultry raisers and courteously shown
over the large farms. They first
visited the farm of Major Jordan,
Secretary of the Hammonton Associa-
ton. He is a large exporter of all
kinds of Dorkings and an authority.
Then they called upon P. H. Jacobs,
editor of the Poultry Keeper and
known to poultry raisers the country
over as the the great American kick
er." AT the last convention of poultry
raisers of the country he made himself
famous by bis kicking over difficult
points which were advantageous to
fanciers. The editor takes a great
interest in the South Jersey Poultry
Association, is member and at last
meeting was elected Vice President.
The farm of e. G. Howe was next
visited. The gentleman had 1900
young chickens upon his farm and
5000 eggs in his incubators One in
cubator alone contained over 1000
eggs. He is one of the most success
full broiler raisers in this section of
country. The farm of G. c. Sellars
wos also visited. Both Mr.. Douglass
and Mr.. Souder speak of the trip as a
profitable one to them. r.A

of the State campaign was the license

hundred and ten voted in favor of
license and sixty against it, 41,276
votes being polled in the State Of
these, 81, ,660 were in favor of license
and 1856 against it. A curious fea-
ture of the campaign of 1913. was that
Newark and other cities in the upper
part of the State, now the stronghold
of the liquor men, voted in favor of
having no license.

In this letter, it must be remembered
that have treated chiefly of Protes-
tant Buddhism, and that the sects of
Buddhists are many. Idolatry in many
of the temples seems to prevail, and the
approximations which exist among the
japanese worshipers would, in the tell
ing, more than FIJI the columns of this
paper. There is the Doctor Buddha
here, who If you put your fingers upon
his eyes and then anoint your sore ones
will effect cure. Who, if you have
the stomach-ache, and rub his wooden
abdomen and then rub yours will have
the effect upon you of bi-carbonate of
soda, and who if you have cold in
the head will relieve you by the alter
nate rubbing of his nose and yours.
There are little wooden gods for babies
diseases, and there are big wooden
Buddhas for women desiring children.
In the grandest temples at Nikko there
is sacred pony whom you may feed
with holy beans at cent plate, and
every other country temple has its stone
foxes which are worshipped. I find
vestages of the worship of twenty five
years ago, which will not bear telling
in the newspapers, and the Shinto
religion, which has il Japan 1900
temples, is made up of combination
of relying on the spirits of dead an
cestors and of the worship OF silver
mirrors. Christianity, in the mean
while, has, believe, come to Japan to
stay. There are 10000 Christians CT
all kinds in Japan. There are many
native self-supporting churches, and
the missionaries are, as class, bright,
earnest men, whose homes are refined
and whose work is enthusiastic and
progressive.
