Morris County's Drives.

Morris County can well be proud of
the roads traversing it, That they are
favorite ones with Automobiles, bicy-
clists and horsemen is shown by the
many who use them for pleasure trips.
In Sundays Herald they receive the
following favorable comment:
"Another new road is from Somer-
vile north to Far Hills, making a COM
plete road from the former place to Nor
ristown. This is proving favorite
route for automobiles which go from
Plainfield, through Scotch Plains to
Springfield, Madison, Morristown, Ber-
nardsville, Far Hills, Pluckamin, Som
erville and back through Bound Brook
to Plainfield, making a circuit of fifty
three miles through one of the most
charming sections of New Jersey.
Several new roads are being built in
Morris county. The Passaic River Val
ley road is continuation of the Union
county system, through Morris county
to the Somerset county line. Another
attractive new road is from Morristown
west to Mount Freedom. six miles.
From Landing, on the southern end of
Lake Hopatcong, to the Sussex county
line is another. The Whippany and
Parsippany road, in Morris, is continu-
tion of the road from Morristown
toward Boonton.
Warren county's first improved road
is being built from Hackettstown to
Allamuchy, six miles in length. 1t will
practically be a continuation of the
stone road from Morristown to Hack
ettstown. up to the Sussex county line. .

Proposed Firemen,s Parade.

"Morristown firemen are talking of a
parade this fall. If it is undertaken it
will be success, says the Sussex Reg
lister.
The firemen of Morristown are ag-
itating big tiremen's parade in that city
this fall, and we are pleased to note that
they are meeting with very generous
sentiment in favor of the parade by the
business men and citizens of that city.
There is no department in the State that
excels Morristown, and the fremen are
worthy of the confidence and esteem in
which they are held by their own peo-
pie and the volunteer firemen of the
State. Sussex Herald.

Warm, sultry weather, with frequent
showers, very heavy in the Central and
Southern sections, have characterized
the week. The excess of rainfall at the
Central Office, from March LIST to date,
is now 9.o4 inches, as against a def

time last year. The temperature aver
aged nearly 80 above the daily normal.
Crops generally, except late potatoes
and tomatoes, are in fine growing con-
dition; corn has obtained fine growth
and is earning well buckwheat is also a
very promising crop; late potatoes, in all
sections, are not at all promising al
though the vines are growing vigorous
ly tie set is very light; late tomatoes
have not improved during the week, the
fist blossoms are still dropping off;
warm sunshiny weather would be of
great help just now to this and all other
growing and maturing crops. Peaches,
watermelons, cantaloupes. lima beans
and sweet corn are being shipped to
market. The prospects for cranberl les
are that the yield will be less than last
years short crop.

was arrested charged with disorderly
conduct. This charge was made only
that Dunton might be held. He was
really arrested on suspicion of having
run the switch engine into the pas
seDger train. Dunton denied that he
had anything to do with the work,
and says he was not on the engine.
The Southern officials claim that ne

Dunton has several gashes in his head
which he admits receiving in the

TO SMASH GREAT BRITAIN.
Combined Europe .,iII Attempt II,
But America VIII Promptly
Say Don't"

| London, June 5.-"Mark my words,
said Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, last night.
to a representative of the press. 1.-THE
time is coming when the continental
| powers will combine to smash up this
little island of Great Britain. When
that happens. she will have to turn
to the United States for help.
II feel certain it will not be re-
| fused. The United States will step
in and say Don't They will act just
as Great Britain did in the Spanish
American war. What she did the l
was great, and it is NOT half realized
yet"
When Mr.. Carnegie gave utterance
to these sentiments he was in the
Langham hotel, London, where he had
arrived from Scotland for the cham
Der of commerce gatherings. Until
last night he had steadfastly refused
to be interviewed.
Resuming the topic of Anglo-Ameri-
can relations, Mr.. Carnegie said:
II believe in the community of the
English-speaking races, by which |
mean that the Americans and the
British ere now closer together than
ever before. Could you get better
instance than the visit of the dele
gates of the New York chamber of
commerce to Windsor last Saturday
/ suggested it, and King Edward took
up the idea thoroughly. 1t was fit
ting commencement of the new reign.
Il know how deeply interested King
Edward is in the United States. |
have known this since the time, years
ago. when / drove him on a locomo-
tive in the United States. which. bv
the way, he did not forget when we
met under different conditions.
The idea that the visit of our dele
gates to Windsor can be in any way
construed as King Edwards recogni-
tion of American commercial superb
ority is all nonsense. The king is full
of tact and of friendship for our
| country"
DO you think" Mr. Carnegie was
asked, that British enterprise can be
sufficiently stimulated to meet Ameri-
can competition"
oh. they can't compete with u.s.
itpiicu MI NdiHtSIc- WITH Sinlle.
Would you advise the British peo-
pie to place their faith in combina-
tions?' said the interviewer.
I'm out of business" responded
Mr.. Carnegie, "and l know nothing
about combination"
When questioned regarding his re-
cent gift to the universities of Scot
| land, he said:
Everything will be settled shortly
| in a way satisfactory to both sides
! The high Scotch officials and myself
are still having conferences to ar.
range matters"
When asked if he contemplated fur
ther gifts, he replied in the negative
adding:
II have quite enough on my hands
for the present. When this matter
has been settled there will be time
| enough to think of something else
