1t comes to Smelling OUT for the good

few such men in the Democratic ranks.
Nothing has been too good for them

money has been needed.

THE House Of Representatives did
the manly and honest thing on Mon
day when it declared Congressman
White Of Indiana entitled to his seat.
That gentleman was a Republican
who was elected by 1900 majority,
but his opponent raised the point
that he was not a citizen of the United
States. Mr.. White could not show
his naturalization papers, though he
testified that he had obtained them
years ago and lost them. He had
lived in this country for fully thirty
years, had served through the war,
and was to all intents and purposes a
thoroughbred American. Fifty or
sixty Democrats voted to sustain him.
and he was seated by a fair majority.
This was fair and proper, and we are
glad that it was done. But We won

w. Il. Convention.

The Fourth Annual Convention or the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
Salem County was held in the Broadway
NJ. +. Church, in Salem, on Wednesday,
September 10Th. The pleasant face of oar
worthy President, Mrs. Rebecca Patterson,
was missing, owing to the recent accident
at her honse which resulted very seriously,
having burned her so much that she was
unable to be present. Mrs. Garrison,
wife of the pastor of Quinton NJ. i. Church,
presided very gracefully in her absence.
The morning session was very interesting,
Mrs. Fannie Fl. Carr, Of Camden, being
present. She gave q general talk upon the
work, of how the woinen were branching
out all over the State, which in time meant
death to the rum iend. In her remarks
she alluded to her recent visit to the Tren-
ton State Prison, and of how she there met
the son of a friend, who was serving a sem
tence for a crime which he committed
while drunk. 1t was pitiful when she
spoke of the emaciated form, for he was
slowly dying ofconsumption, and did not ex-
pect to ever get out of jail, for he should
die before the sentence had expired. From
the prison into Gods presence, and all on
account of rum. Nine-tenths of the in
mates of the prison were reported as being
there from drink. Mrs. Robbins, of Penns-
grove, led in prayer, with thanks to God
for the recent victory in salem county,
Special prayer was offered for Mrs. Patter-
son.
The report Of juvenile work was given
early in the morning session. Rev. Mr..
Garrison of QuInton was introduced to the
convention, gave the ladies words of cheers
and pitied the men who voted for rum in
| the last election, especially those who were
christian men. The roll call was respond
| ed to by every Union, a goodly number OF
representatives being present. The Treas
urer of the county. Mrs. Maggie Crispin,
gave a very good report, having 4 balance

The Gloucester County Prohibition Con-
vention held at Woodbury., August 10th,
last, after looking over the many disadyan-
tages in respect to securing suitable halls
in many voting precincts, and after a thor
ough discussion as to the advantages to be
derived by al aggressive campaign of ar
gument and appeal to the better judg-
men of the intelligent voters, decided to
purchase and equip a tent for the work.
The committee appointed, consisting of S.
II. Gill, r. X. Hill and D. w. Garrigues,
has purchased the tent and have issued a
circular calling for funds, in which they
say
"The work, being against Satan and his
emissaries, is a Christian work, and tends
to aiding the church in the great work of
evangelizing the world; in fact, it is rec
ognized that the liquor traffic is the
worlds greatest foe, and causes more anx-
iety than any other known evil, hence,
every Christian should feel it his bounden
duty to aid in this good work. In all seri-
BUSINESS, let it be paramount to all the
monetary issues Of which the liquor mem
are glad that the public mind is occupied
with, as tending to minimize the necessity
of the abolition of their traffic"

EDITOR MONITOR, DEAR SIR:-Being a
Jerseyman and an old reader Of your paper
| thought perhaps a few lines from Tenn
essee might be interesting TO you and also
some of your readers, many of whom are
personal friends of mine. | live on a farm
one and a half miles south Of Cleveland. in
a fertile valley known as Blue Spring Vail
ley. There are many northern people in
this section, but mostly from Ohio and
Michigan. | am the only Jerseyman in
this part of the country. The principal
crop here is corn although garden vegeta-
bles grow to perfection. Wheat doesn't
seem to do well, but clover and red top
grow very fine, it seems to be better
adapted to this country than any where /
have ever been, and manure shows on the
ground mere than on any Jersey land. /
think il there was as much farming enter
prise here as in the East it would be q finer
country. The native Tennessean seems to
be INDECENT, although they are the most
social and friendly people I ever met.
Game is scarce in this section; there are
quite a good many rabbits and quails and
some turkeys, and back in the mountains,
fifteen miles from here, there are plenty of
deer, bears and also panthers and wild eats.
There are thousands of acres of very fertile
land up there that can be bought for one
dollar per acre, but owing to its elevated
position it would be impossible To farm il
to any advantage. Yours truly,
NwoRE.
