WHEN JERSEY WAS HUNGRY.
Period During Which People Could Not
Get Enough to Eat.


Get Enough to Eat.
There is on record in the annals of
the state of New Jersey a season when
the people actually suffered for want
Of food. 1t was in the autumn of 1857.
when the failure of crops caused
famine that prevailed all over the state
and afflicted the people of southern and
central New Jersey sorely. They were
driven to eating roots and nuts The
Indians were disposed to be kindly to
the people and gave them assistance
and taught them how to make the best
of the natural resources of the country.
They showed them how to gather and
prepare the oysters and the clans and
make the strange potpourri that this
generation knows as clam chowder.
They taught them the planking Of all
kinds Of fish (shad were not then OBJ
tainable). The Indians were short of
maize and In the same predicament.
but they being native to the forest
were more resourceful. Conditions
were better in the upper part Of the
state, because there was more direct
trading. There are no records to show
that anybody actually persisted during
the period of the famine The facts of
the terrible condition in the Jersey
colony reached the sympathetic pill
grims and puritans, and early in tho
spring, just as many, worn by the
hardships of winter. were despairing, q
ship load of cereals and preserved
meats came up the Delaware river, and
its cargo was generously distributed.
A general thanksgiving followed. The
crops of the following summer were
unusually good. and it was never re-
corded again in history that New Jer-
sey had gone hungry.

THE SOUTHERN PRESS.

Norman Walker, of the
New Orleans Times-Demo-
GRAFT, said before the Indus
trial convention at Philadel.
phia:
The beginning of in
dustrial development in the
South was due to the southern
press. In ante-bellum days
the newspapers had consider.
ed industrial items of no i'm.
portance and had not been
publishing them, but begin
ming in 1880 they had gone to
work to get the facts. It re-
quired labor and the expen-
diture of money, but it prov
ed so successful that the
southern papers were able to
see that industrial news is the
most valuable they can pub
lish.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
1872. 294 MILES OF RAIL-
ROAD.

While we are building up coun-
tries, investing money in manu-
featuring enterprises, and making
other strides toward the possession
of money enough to make us mil
lionairs, we should not forget to
give credit to the railroads for
their part in the work Of advance
ment. It is a fact that we have
1924 miles of railroad in the
United States to-day, a quarter
more than all Europe, and some OF
the keenest observers willingly
admit that wherever good rail
roads have been constructed the
cost of transportation has been
enormously decreased"
''The vigorous and progressive
South of to day owes her activity
and advancement chiefly to the
railroads that traverse her ter
ritory," said Alexander Helper, Jr.,
before the Industrial convention
at Philadelphia; "with them she is
growing and making agricultural
and commercial history" "Wlth-
out them,' said Mr.. Helper, ''she
would be as inactive as a snail in
winter" And while there are
some things which the public can
object to in the management OF
railroads, no fair minded person
should over look the fact that the
matter of transportation is one of
prime importance to any section

were in the South.
Speaking of railroads and their
construction the Nashville Amer
lean says:
"Railroads are costly concerns;
they involve the expenditure of
millions of dollars in construction
and maintenance; they represent
the money not of a few individuals
only, but of many hundreds; their
property is as much entitled to
legitimate protection as the prop
erty of other individuals and tax
payers. They constitute one of
the largest single sources ofrevenue
on which a State relies''
AS a rebuke to those who find
fault with every portion of the
management Of railroads and their
existence in general, tits only nee
essary to call their attention to the
fact that our industrial develop

would have been an impossibility
without them, and our great
