The committee appointed by the Board
of Freeholders to investigate the commit
ment of tramps to the county Jail, held
another meeting on Wednesday. Justices
outside of Mount Holly were present and
answered questions put to them. Justice
Hires claimed to have been actuated by
no improper motives in his official actions
and said he would rectify errors in any
way the committee suggested and would
willingly refund any fees he had collect
ed which the committee thought he was
not entitled to.
After a short conference the committee
went to the jail and examined the register.
1t showed that between the 1st and 18th
of December there were committed to the
prison AZ tramps and 159 DRINKS" From
December 10th to 31st, the number of
tramps was 81, while the ''drunks" only
reached 3d.
The committee did not make public the
nature of the report to be made to the
Board, but they were satisfied the Audi
tor had taken the right course in refusing
to pay the bills. On Saturday, however,
the Auditor allowed the claim of one JUS
tice and constable In this bill there was
a large number of tramps-in fact there
were few "drunks" and the constable took
an affidavit that those were bona fide If
we understand the Auditors position cor
rectly he will pay other bills under SINH
lar affidavits. This looks like back
down. This whole matter of swearing
has been thoroughly canvassed and the
opinion prevailed that the Auditor was
perfectly justified in Withholding fees on
such basis If the bills on ''drunks''
are to be paid merely because somebody
is willing to take an affidavit that every
thing is all right there was no reason for
stirring up the matter in the first place
and taking up the time of the committee.

To have the men who have demonstrated their
organizing ability by great business successes tell
their secrets of organization is the object of the
editor of The Cosmopolitan. That he is succeeding
is proved in the January issue by the article from
Charles R. Flint, who is regarded in New York as
of the three four ablest organizers in Amer
lea He is president of the Rubber Trust and ,he
head of the great mercantile house of Flint, Eddy
s. Co, which has its ramifcations in almost every
part of the world Mr. Flint tells very openly what
makes for success in the organization Of business.
His article may be read with interest by the Rookie
as by the humbIest clerk seeking to fathom the
secret of business success In the same line is an
article, also in the January Cosmopolitan telling
how Mr.. Plat organized and conducted the cam
paign for the election of Roosevelt. 1t is by gem
tleman who was actively engaged at the Republi-
can headquarters during the campaign, and who
gives vivid picture of the perfection to which po-
litcal organization has been carried in New York
state by I'll most astute of managers. The wary
old Senator who has been lifetime i'll politics and
the youngest political aspirant will alike find food
for reflection in Mr. Blvthes article

1t is dangerous thing to malign a
mans character. This is the most sacred
thing person has in the world, and
without such his success in life is hope
less. Such an requirement enables one to
surmount many obstacles and places him
on a plane of varacity with his fellow
men. The standing and character of some
people are impervious to the attacks of
Islander mongers, and well they may be,
for it is safe to say that many of the
stories now being circulated in Mount
Holly against the reputation of certain
citizens is nothing more than spiteful

A short time since the neighboring sec
ton hereabout was alive with thieves, and
complaints from farmers were numerous
that their turkeys and chickens had been
stolen The matter aroused considerable
indignation and the policemen and con
stables of Mount Holly started in to ar
rest the offenders. As result seven men
all said to be guilty-are now in Jail
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
Three have confessed, and their state
ments have implicated others who have
not yet been apprehended. To accom-
plish this result it has required some work
and good judgment. There was leading
spirit in the movement, of course, and
while all the officers were active in the
matter, yet it seems to be conceded fact
that the credit for the capture of this
gang is in large measure due to police
man Thomas Denness, who worked I'M
ceasin gly to bring about the result. This
staten ent is made in simple justice that
honor should be awarded to whom honor
is due, without detracting from the merits
of the other officers, all of whom are
worthy of mention.

that public opinion seemed to have been

Charles Flora, who is confined in Jail
charged with stealing chickens, is receiv

taking food to him at the prison, when it
was only last week that the overseer of
the poor found her in needy circumstances
at her home on Water street. As long as
her husband is well provided for, the lady
would be justified in keeping what prov

not bright for Mrs. Flora again receiving

An illustration of how fast sound trav-

on Main street on quiet night when the
ground is frozen, policeman will hear
the pity pat of horses feet coming in
the distance. The sound indicates that
the team was about opposite the fair
grounds, and having desire to know
what was going on, the officer would wait
for the approaching horse to come down
the street. Instead of appearing at once,
there would be wait of nearly half an
hour, which would indicate that when
first heard the team was half way to Bur-
lington
