Democratic County Committee Meeting.


The Democratic County Executive Com
mittee met in Prehl's Hall last Friday at 2
p. M, with good attendance, with the
object of formulating plans to secure the
nomination of Hon. Thomas NJ Ferrell for
Governor.
1t was resolved to hold the primary
elections to elect delegates on Saturday
evening, September 81, at 7.30 o'clock, and
delegates elected were requested to meet in
Prehl's Hall, Woodbury., on Monday after
noon, September 80, for the purpose of
organizing the delegation prior to going to
Trenton Monday evening.
Mr.. Sickler gave an encouraging report of
the spread of sentiment for Terrell in the
counties of the District, and predicted a
solid District delegation in his interest.
He said the statement made in the Record
that the object of Ferrell's candidacy was
simply to control the county's vote for some
other candidate not yet known, was
injurious to Mr.. Ferrell's chances in some of
the counties, and called for emphatic denial,
hence he introduced resolution that
Gloucester county support the candidacy of
Thomas NJ. Terrell in the Convention
first last and all the time, and same was
adopted.
Mr. Sickler also introduced the following
resolution, which was adopted
The Executive Committee of the Demo-
cratic party of the County of Gloucester in
regular session on the sixth day of Sept,
1901, express our sympathy for and extend
our support to the movement by the New
Jersey Labor League to secure the abolition
of the abuse of the power of injunction in
labor disputes where no overt act has been
committed

sYnnott Stevenson Dead.

Ten days ago, through most unfortu-
nate accident, Synnott, the only son of Mr..
and Mrs VIM. b. Stevenson, farmer be-
tween Wenonah and Hurlfville, was
wounded in the stomach by a pistol bal,
and while hopes of recovery were held out
to the stricken family, death resulted on
Sunday. The boy had been to market in
the morning and on his arrival home it was
arranged that both himself and father
should go that night, leaving Mrs. Steven
son and daughter at home alone. Mrs.
Stevenson thought the revolver should be
loaded and in readiness for use, and the lad
was about to go for it when his elder sister
said she would go. Returning with the
pistol, it was remembered that one cartridge
had been fired and the boy said he would
replace it, extending his hand toward his
sister for the weapon. She thought she
could replace the cartridge and in raising
the hammer it slipped somehow and the
boy fell wounded, as above stated. The
family is Frustrated and the sister is beside
herself with grief The funeral and inter
ment were ON Wednesday.

The following circular has been issued by
the Sewer committee of Council =
Owners of real estate, or those acting
as their agents, are requested to indicate
the point at which it is expected to cross
the curb line, in connecting properties with
the sewer in the street or streets on which
such properties are located. For this pur-
pose, substantial wooden stake marked
"sewer" is to be securely driven, either
against the inner surface of the curb, at the
point mentioned, or at a point directly
opposite to it, and on the fence line.
In case any owner or agent shall fail to
comply with this notice, the Sewerage Com
mittee will have openings for house con
nections placed at such points as they may
consider best, and the properties for which
these openings are intended will be required
to use such openings, and no Others, when
connection is made with the sewer.

Mr.. EDITOR :

Mr.. EDITOR =
The name of Thos. NJ Terrell has been
suggested as Gloucester County's candidate
for Governor, and it would appear to the
writer that when we look at the present
conflict between labor and capital the i'm
portance of nominating a candidate in har-
mOny with the demands of trade Organiza-
tions for fair play, and one who could be
depended upon to preside with spirit of
reciprocity over the contests of Legislative
action, affecting labor and capital is a
paramount issue to the workingman in this
gubernatorial election. If this is not
apparent to the voter, let him take retro
spectiye view of the labor situation since
the last presidential election and gaze upon
the cold and defiant attitude of the Trust
magnates, behind the statutatory fortiica-
tions (Which | fear some deluded voters
helped to construct) entreating with their
employees at this very hour. The recent
injunction, granted by Supreme Court JUS
tice Dixon, permanently restraining the
strikers from holding any futher conversation
on the street with men intended to take
their place in the factory, is notable case
of vicious legislation government by
injunction'') that organized labor is now
praying to get rid Of
Tom" Terrell, as we laymen call him,
has lent time, energy and intelligent
thought in formulating policies to combat
the carnivorous appetite of great combines
that would devour body and soul of the
workingman by low wages and long hours,
Legitimate offspring of aggressive corpora
tions) if not rebuked by defensive labor
organizations, and his election would be the
best antidote for the poisonous legislation
constantly being engrafted into the statutes,
that could be administered to corporate
power. The evolution of the labor problem
in its past and present aspect has forged the
only weapon of defense, and labor, after ex-
hausting all its diplomacy in arbitration,
finds that weapon to be the ballot, the final
arbiter in its disputes, and the court of last
resort in its appeal for adequate compensa-
ton for service rendered. The above named
gentleman possesses all the popularity and
virtues, born Of tangible contact with the
warp and wool of labor organizations in
the State, since the inception of their for
nation and is eligible as an ideal represen-
tation Of their interests and policies.
Nominate Terrell, whose makeup COM
mends him, at this crises of disturbed con-
ditions of labor, as the strongest candidate
in the field of gubernatorial aspirants, and
and you will witness the greatest "labor
Day. demonstration on Nov 9th that has
ever been recorded in the political history
of the State.

Steamer Twilight Sunk.

The steamer Twilight was sunk near
Perrywig, in the Upper Delaware river
Sunday night This is the boat with
which the City of Trenton was said to
have been racing, when the latter blew up
in the river ten days ago. The Twilight
was on her way to Trenton from Philadel-
phia, when the accident occurred.
There were about $50 passengers aboard,
all of whom were rescured without mishap.
The theory is that the steamer struck a
rock or log, and a hole was stove in her
hull
The passengers were taken ashore in the
Twilight's lifeboats and i'll rowboats
which flocked to the scene. The boat is
solidly in the mud, and cannot be raised
without much difficulty. The extent of the
damage to the Twilight cannot be definitely
ascertained, but it will be at least several
thousand dollars.

A GLOUCESTER COUNTY BOY IN KANSAS
Has 10000 Barrels of Apples Valued at
$50, 600.

A copy of the Kansas City Journal of
Angus 20 has been handed to us that con-
tains an interesting article describing the
farming operations of Mr.. B. F. Coombs,
of that city, who is a son OF John Coombs,
Esq, of Pitman Grove Mr.. Coombs went
to Kansas City eighteen years ago with 500
in cash, and is now a millionaire.
One Mr.. Mcdonald, buyer of apples in
quantities, visited Mr.. COMBS orchards
and then said to a reporter Of the Journal:
FIN my opinion, after having visited
twelve growing States, that his Mr..
Coombs') crop this year will be more yalu-
able than that of any other man in the
United States He has $50 acres Of apples
at Parker, Kas. 500 acres at Lane, Kas.,
and AGO acres at Willow Springs, Kas. 1t
is estimated that his entire yield will ex-
coed 30, 600 barrels. He will harvest forty
carloads of Jonathans alone. No other
man in the world will have SO many. His
trees vary in age from to IA years, and
include the Jonathan, Ben Davis, Winesap,
Missouri Pippin and few other varieties .
Mr. Mcdonald buys apples in every State
where they are grown in quantities, and he
saws that tBen" Coombs has the finest and
most apples in the United States
This Gloucester county boy has rendered
good account of himself, and Gloucester
county people rejoice with his parents and
his personal friends in his success.
