Mr.. Baird was an attentive member Of
Florence Lodge, A. F. and A. NJ; in his
intercourse with the public he was courte-
GUS, but retiring, and his intimates were
few and select. The date and details Of
the funeral and interment are not yet COM

FERREL N. J., Sept. 9th 1917

Our esteemed correspondent L. N" in
his letter this week has touched ON the
vital point OF fair elections in this county,
i. E. the question of residence 1t seems to
us that the Constitution of the State makes
that point SO plain as to leave no ground
for cavil OF dispute. Section 1, article II,
aaus
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1897-09-09
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

1. Every male citizen of the United
States, of the age OF twenty-one years, who
shall have been resident of this State one
year, and of the county in which he claims
his vote five months, next before the cleo
ton, shall be entitled to vote for all officers
that now are, or hereafter may be, elective
by the people; and no
pauper. idiot, insane person, or person con-
victed of crime which now excludes him
from being a witness unless pardoned or
restored by law to the right of suffrage,
shall enjoy the right of an elector.n
1t is clear that the Constitution provides
that the right of franchise may be legally
exercised by male persons over the age of
twenty-one years who have resided con-
tinuously in this State for one year, and in
the county for five months. If the trainers
of t. e Supreme law of the State had con-
templated less term of residence they
would certainly have made it plain. The
citizen of another State who, after a resi-
dence of eight months here, swears that he
has been citizen of the State of New Jer-
sey for one year, and the county of Glou-
cester for FIVE months, commits puIjury,
and no election officers performs his solemn
obligation to the State who permits him to
cast ballot. We are fully aware that
election officers have allowed themselves to
become befogged on this question of resi-
dence and, as our correspondent says, shifted
responsibility Oh persons who have not the
same array Of facts before them to guide
their action as the resident election officer,
with the result that persons not citizens, as
contemplated by the Constitution, have
voted here in large numbers.
The remedy is plain and easy of applica-
ton. and all those charged with the con-
duct of our electio should unite in ap-
plying it.

Mrs. Parker finally said she preferred the
white peach, but she had considerable
trouble with the fruit turning dark while
in the process of being canned.
One lady stated that she had been told
of a Burlington county Gamer who always
had an assistant in the work, and as one
did the pairing, the other would drop into
water, and the usual limit of time was one
hour and forty minutes from the orchard.
Mrs. Parker used teacup full of water
and a half pound sugar to two pounds of
fruit, using the Morris whites.
Mrs. Mary Black always used two pounds
of sugar and a half cup water and boil,
adding the peaches afterward, and only did
one jar at a time.
Several Of the gentlemen tried to offer
Suggestions to this line OF farming" but
they were laughed down.
The question of asparagus rust which
was discussed at the last meeting was again
brought up. Nearly all the growers of this
troublesome plant are having trouble, and
many are experimenting as to how to rid
the patches of this growing pest.

Sithens disagreed with him in the matter
of the formation of the tubers, which be

BETHEL.
MISS GEER-MR HICKOK.

The wedding of Horace Edison Hickok
and Miss Helen Benjamin Geer, both of
Bethel, occurred on Saturday evening,
October %. Rooms had previously been
furnished and prepared for the bride and
groom, where the marriage ceremony
was performed. The event had been
postponed so as to take place on the 55th
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs Horace E.
Hickok, grandparents of the groom.
William Fl. Hickok, brother, was best
man and Miss Lottie G. Geer, sister,
bridesmaid. Both grandparents took
place at the right and left of the parties
and stood until the close of the marriage
ceremony which was solemnized by Rev
FL. L. Slack and witnessed by few near
friends, among them Mr. and Mrs Silas
Hickok, parents of the groom, and G. W.
Geer of Middletown, the father of the
bride. Mr. and Mrs Hickok gave an in
formal reception and served refreshments
to their guests. Their home Is on Elm
street, where they have set up house
keeping and will be ready to receive
their friends. Grandfather and Grand
mother Hickok will doubtless enjoy life
better living with these grandchildren
and perhaps celebrate together many
happy days.
The Danbury News is trying to create
a sensation over one of our mistakes in
reference to the Oldest native born citi-
zen of Bethel. Your correspondent is
positive that he wrote ''native born male
citizen" The word male was left out.
We knew that there were three women
in town older than Mr. Seeley, but we
were in error in stating that Mr. Seeley
was the oldest native born male
resident, for William Shepard
is three years older, and we never
thought of him until it was too late to
rectify. The Waterbury paper sent in
word in last nights News that Sturges
M. Judd of that place was the oldest
native born citizen of Bethel, and SO it
goes,

OUTLOOK FOR THE POTATO CROP.

OUTLOOK FOR THE POTATO CROP.
Although people claim 81 is the es-
tablished price for potatoes it is difficult
to get that price for any amount, as they
are being sold in Danbury from the car
at 9Oc, and much better looking potatoes
than those sold about here. Those whe
have large acreage to dig this year
complain of not being able to use dig
ging machines on account of the weeds,
as every farmer knows that weeds have
been the most prolific crop. There has
been no drouth to interfere SO they grew
up to the time of heavy frosts. So pota-
to digging on large scale is slow work.
81. W. Andrews has dug and disposed of
five acres with five more to dig. There
seems to be lack of competent men to
be found who will not damage the tubers
in digging.
