Voting Machine.

The voting machine eliminates bal
lots and does away with the tedious
process of counting, numbering and
stringing the ballots. The record is
made mechanically and automatically
by the voters and the result is known
at each polling place Immediately
after the polls close.
If voting machines were in use the
result of the elections in the cities
would be known by seven O'Clock in
the evening.
The first cost of the machines is
considerable, but in cities the annual
saving would soon more than offset
the initial cost and the absence of
fraud in reading and counting the
ballots and the Irregularities due to
the use of ballots would cease There
would be no rejected ballots and this
would save nearly 1000 votes annually
in New Jersey.
The simplest plan by which voting
machines can be procured is by the
creation of State Commission with
power to grant to municipalities the
right to use machines and to hold
elections without ballots.
The Legislature at its coming ses-
sion should pass such bill as will
produce elections by machine.

ARTISTS TERRIBLE PLIGHT.
Lost in a Swamp, without Food, for
seven Days.

seven DAYS.
| Seayille, n. J., Nov. g. For seven
days S. M. Hecker, young and tai
ented artist was missing from his res
idence, at Woodbine, and though dill
gent search was made for him with
out cessation no trace of him could be
found until late last night, when he
was discovered in pitiable plight in
swamp
For several days prior to his disap-
pearance Hecker had been acting
oddly, and as he mad some family
trouble of minor character it was
feared that he was liable to break
down under the strain. His employer,
Philip Gould, of the Woodbine colony,
advised the young man to go away
for brief rest, but Hecker declined
and continued TO devote himself to his
work On Tuesday evening of last
week, he went out ostensibly for a
walk, and as he failed to return late
at night great deal of anxiety was
felt for him.
When morning came and the young
artist still failed to appear, inquiry
was made among his friends, but none
of them had heard or seen anything of
him. The alarm was spread and the
search for the young man was begun
in the woods and fields, but no trace
of him could be found in any direc-
tion and at last, after three or four
days of the most careful inquiry in
every direction, the quest was reluc-
family abandoned. 1t was generally
believed Hecker had wandered off
somewhere and died.
William Fowler was returning from
cunning trip last night shortly after
sundown and as he passed Through a
bit of swamp about four miles from
Woodbine, he heard faint moan and
following up the sound, came upon
the gaunt, emaciated figure of the
missing man Hecker was fast in the
swamp and something of the terrible
oUhO11hS uhAOuSA WHICll H6 Hdu D66n
subjected by hunger and thirst and
exposure were in evidence all around
him.
Hecker had evidently endeavored to
slack his thirst from a small shallow
pool of half-stagnant water near the
scene of his imprisonment, but
reached only by the utmost exertion
and in the past few days he had evil
IDENTIFY been unable to reach it at all.
He had lost coat, shoes and stockings
in his awful struggle to free himself
and reach a point of safety. He had
tried to satisfy the cravings of hunger
by gnawing his hat, which was in
shreds, and he had bitten nearly all
the twigs from the underbrush which
hung anywhere near him.
The unfortunate artist was raving
maniac and as Fowler was unable to
do anything with him he sought assis-
tance, and after a hard struggle
Hecker was taken from the swamp to
his home at Woodbine. He is in a
deplorable condition and physicians
are amazed that he was able to with
stand his awful experience

Bellows and Ballinger.
After being called to order the
Health Inspector and Plumbing In
spector each made their report.
The Sanitary Committee reported

cautions as that of tie United States
Marine Hospital authorities for the
control of smallpox patients and to
prevent the spread of disease.
The Committee on Printing was in
structed to purchase blanks for orders
upon physicians for vaccination pur-
poses.
The board adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved, that in the case of per-
sons unable to pay for vaccination they
shall upon furnishing to the Inspector
of the Board satisfactory evidence of
their inability to pay, receive an or
der upon the Board of Health physi-
clan emitting them to free vaccina-
tion. The physician of the Board may

DR.. J. R. G. Thompson appeared
with further information regarding
the one case of smallpox in Bridgeton,
that of Richard Brooks. He said it

ease. He is progressing as well as
could be expected.
The Board then adjourned

MIR. MINCH is
GREATLY GRATIFIED.
Feels That the People Fully I'm
derstand the Issues of the
Campaign.

Senator r-elect B. H. Minch is resting
a little now that the arduous cam
paign work is ended. Mr.. Minch has
been an admirable, hard working can
didate. Barring four days, ever since
the County Convention which unani-
mously nominated him, he has been
actively engaged in working for the
success of the ticket. Quietly he
visited every part of the county and
personally meet as many people as he
could, and came in touch with the
voters. He did not press his indi-
vidual candidacy but urged the sup
port of the people for the whole
ticket, especially for Franklin Muir
ply. Said he Thursday:
Wherever 1 went I was cordially
received The people seemed to be
thoroughly conversant with the issues
of the campaign and were anxious to
learn anything that had any bearing
upon the candidates that they repre-
sent.
81 was greatly encouraged as I
moved among the people, and early
found that old Cumberland would not
fail to support the Republican cause.
Another matter I was much i'm
pressed with, was the fairness of our
political opponents, and especially the
Democratic candidate for Senator.
Nowhere did I hear of anything
that he or his friends had sug-
gested against me personally, and I
am convinced that his campaign was
conducted upon honorable, and fair
lines.'
Mr.. Minch is highly gratified with
the vote in Cumberland county. He
feels honored with the support given
him, and he can not turn to any par
ticular locality where he is not greatly
indebted to the voters. Asked about
the falling off of the vote in CONNER
cial, Mr.. Minch replied that he
thought that was local matter, and
that the adjustment of all matters
complained. of, would be satisfactory
to the people there.
Mr.. Minch will make every effort
to fit himself as the Senatorial repre-
sentative of Cumberland county, and
he means to keep in personal touch
with all the county that he may now
act, while in the legislature for the
best interests of his constituency, as
well as for the State.
Since election, letters and kilograms
of congratuation have been received
by the Senator in large numbers.
They came from the people all over
the county and State. One of the
most earnest of all his kilograms was
from United States Senator Sewell,
who is in North Carolina.

REPUBLICANS MADE GAINS.
The "PiOneer" Presents a Very
Interesting and Handy Ref
erence Table.

The pioneer presents table to-
day that is especially handy for refer
ence. 1t is arranged with great care,
and the figures are from the official
figures given to the County Clerk by
the Board of Canvassers.
In comparison with the vote of
three years ago, the Republicans this
fall made decided gains.
In the county Governor voorhees,
received 5442 votes, while Crane, the
Democrat, received 1866, giving Voor-
hees a plurality in Cumberland of
1876. This years official vote shows
that Murphy had cast for him in the
county total of 5567, an increase of
more than 100 votes over Voorhees,,
while Seymour had 1865 votes or III
less than Crane had. This gives Mar
ply in the county a plurality of 1912,
or 236 more than Governor Voorhees,
had
Bridgeton gave Voorhees, 1555 votes
and Crane 1881. Murphy had 1856
votes in this city, while Seymour re-
ceived 1139, giving Murphy plurality
of 517 Voorhees, had 534 plurality
three years since.
Murphy in Millville had plurality
of 751, out of vote of 1920 for him
self and 669 for Seymour. Three
years ago VOORHEES,. had.a plurality of
424, his vote being 1926, while Crane
had 792 votes.
Vineland did even better than Mill
vile. Voorhees, had a plurality in
the borough of 145, while this fall
Murphy had a plurality of 274. Lam
dis gave Voorhees, a plurality of So,
while Murphy had 112.
The Prohibition vote in the county
for Governor this year was 521 Three
years ago the Prohibitionists had 5S6
votes. Three years ago the Socialists
had 26 votes in the county. This fall
the Socialist vote was sc. In Bridge
ton three years ago the Prohibition
vote was 143 This year the Prohibi-
tion vote was but g.
Last year, during the Presidential
campaign there were 6780 votes for
Mckinley and 4036 for Bryan, making
Republican plurality of 2744. Com
pared with the vote of last year there
were 1918 less votes cast this fall from
Republican standpoint, while the
Democrats this year were 381 votes
shy.
For Senator, B. H. Minch exceeded
the plurality of Murphy in this county
by 65. In Bridgeton, Minch had
plurality of $50, or more than Muir
ply had. In Millville, Minch had a
plurality of but 81 less than the can
didate for Governor. In Vineland
Minch had Z more plurality than Muir
ply, and in Lands township Minch
was votes less, making the plurality
for Governor and Senator in Vineland
and Lands exactly the same In the
total vote of the county, Minch had
within 13 votes of the Governor, while
Burt had 78 less votes than Seymour,
his party candidate for Governor, re-
ceived.
The table, printed to-day by the
pioneer" will make very interest
ing study for the average politician,
and thousands of them will be pasted
in scrap books for future reference.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-07-25

an easy matter for the river man to
tell just how deep the water is, says
an old Steamboatman, and he does II
by watching the play on the surface.
The waves do the measuring for him.
The shallow water waves fiatten
somewhat, but IL is more violent, more
erratic in it's movements than the
wave you find playing on the deep wa
ter surface. The deep water wave is
heavier and more sluggish, for the
plain reason that the force which
causes the wave scatters more rapid
ly passing on to a further depth. This
fact means a great deal to the pilot
who finds himself in a stream that is
new to him. If there is a good, stiff
current it is an easy matter, of course,
to keep in the channel. But the boat
passing UP stream does not move so
rapidly if put against the current so
dead water becomes desirable. Dead
water may be shallow, or it may be
deep, or at least deep enough for the
purposes, and in this event the man
who is steering the boat will seek to
throw the vessel out of the current and
give her smoother sailing.
Here is where the value of close OBJ
servation of waves will come in. If
the pilot can judge with sufficient ac-
curacy the depth of the dead water by
surface indications from the watch
tower he will enjoy a big advantage.
Hence the waves frequently stand him
in good stead by serving as sort of
yard stick with which he may meas
ure the depth of the water and thus
save much time and much fuel; and
still pillow around the bars and the shall
low places in perfect safety"
