The war of determination against
mosquitoes continues at South Orange,
and Spencer Miller, chairman of the
committee appointed by the Village
Improvement Society to fight the pest
says
"a drive through South Orange to
Maplewood and Millburn will show
practically no mosquitoes in South
Orange and plenty in Maplewood and
Millburn. There are exceptions to sat
isfy those who are pessimistic and want
to take the opposite side of any ques
ton, but I believe South Orange has
less than \ quarter of the mosquitoes it
had last year"

Democratic papers are complacently
asserting says the Newark News, that
the closing of the gambling houses at
Long Branch will result in 1000 ma
jority against the Republicans in Mon
mouth county at the fall election. Should
such be the case, from the cause alleged,
the degradation of the people of that
county would be more apparent than
was the shamelessness of the open gam
bling houses.

The presence in Canton of Senators
Cullom and Hanna for conference pur-

the assertion that measures of moment

understood that the trio of wise men
agreed that no backward move would be

coNNgcTlcuTs POLL TAX.

The act concerning the collection of
poll and military taxes, which was
passed by the last Legislature, to go
into effect Aug. l. makes it impossible
for the delinquents to dodge the issue
if the collector sees fit to complain, and
the penalty attached is imprisonment in
Jail. The ipfiiction of the penalty is
not discretionary with court If no
good and sufficient reason is offered by
the defendant the law says The court
shall order the accused to stand com
mitted until the tax, interest, and costs
of proceedings are paid, and he shall
pay 1925 for board of each week of his
commitment. The defendant is to re-
ceive 81 day for his work while in
Jail.
This is the first statute law to make it
possible for the collector to proceed
against delinquent poll and military
taxpayers without involving the town
in greater expenditure of money than
can be collected The new law puts
the delinquent on the defense at once,
and unless he settles before he is arrest
ed, he has to have good excuse to get
off, while if he is sent to Jail, incidental
expenses swell the costs so that he is
pretty sure of two or three weeks i'm
prisonment.-New Haven Comm Pal

1t is roughly estimated that about
200, 900 people from other States, chiefly
from the West and the South, spend
their summer vacations in New Jersey.
And yet, thousands of Jerseyman go
away from the State for the summer.
Mr.. Bradley, for example, the practical
proprietor of Asbury Park, goes away
down east for change. New Jerseys
coast resorts are among the most numer
Gus and popular in the western world.
The many miles of sand beach from the
Highlands of Navesink to Cape May
Point are all available for summer cot
tages, summer hotels and summer re-
sorts, and pretty nearly every mile is
already utilized. But in addition to the
seashore New Jersey has lakes and hills
and some quite respectable mountains
to which the summer tourist is invited
with the certainty of receiving pleasure
and benefit. Elizabeth Journal.

A LARGE CROP OF HAY.
Farmers VIII Have Something TO
Take Place of Corn.

FARMERS VIII nave something TO
Take Place of Corn.
Atlanta. Oct. 1.-The crop report for
Georgia for the week ending last night
is as follows:
The weather during the week was
fair and favorable for general farm
work up to the s7th, since when more
or less rain has occurred in various
parts of the state, doing good TO late
growing crops, but greatly retarding
cotton picking and in many instances
discoloring and otherwise damaging
the open staple. On the whole, pick
ing has advanced considerably during
the week, and in many sections the
bulk of the cotton has been saved. In
a few sections the yield will equal or
exceed that of last year, but in the
majority of cases the output is below
the average.
Farmers seem generally satisfied with
the condition of potatoes, sugar cane
and other minor crops which are uni
versally reported as doing nicely. There
seems to be an unusually large crop
of hay and most farmers are saving
ii for winter forage. Flowing for fall
seeding is becoming general and con
siderable rye and oats have been sowu.
Some lowland corn was greatly dam
aged by recent overfiows. Pastures
continue very good and stock is in
fine condition. Rice badly damaged by
overfiows in Savannah river district.

VETERANS ARE IN LUCK.
INSURANCE ON BURNED HOME Is
S1o,5Oo, NOT $4,000.

yhe Money VIII Have to Be Paid TO.
the Governor and Reappropriated
by the LeRislature-The Trustees
VIII Co Right Ahead with Plans
for Rebuilding, However-The Cot
tage Plan Is Generally Favored
and VIII Probably BE Adopted.
Atlanta, Oct LIT developed to-day
that instead of there being only $4,000
insurance on the Confederate Soldiers
Home building there is $1s,500, sum
nearly large enough to build another
home on the lines now proposed. 1t
{ is said that $1,000 in addition to this
amount viii build the necessary cot
4 tages and adjunct buildings sufficient
to accommodate all the old soldiers
that viii come to the home. The re.
naming policies were found to-day.
The Insurance is placed as follows:
st. Paul Fire and Marine, $4,000; Liver
pool, London and GLOBE, $500; Con-
necticut Fire, s5,00O Hamburg Bre-
men, $1,000, and Scottish Union, IS, 00o
In addition to this there is $4,000 on
the furniture with the Phoenix AS
surance Company.
The sI9. 500 on the building will be
paid to the Governor and by him will
be turned into the treasury. 1t will
have TO be reappropriated by the Leg
islature before it can be used for re-
building the home. This, however, will
not delay the work as the trustees
under authority from the Governor will
go right ahead with the work. There
can be no possible doubt about the
Legislature appropriating the money
for the purpose in question.
The board of trustees will hold their
regular quarterly meeting tomorrow
morning at the capitol and it is stated
immediate steps will be taken for re-
building the home. Everybody favors
the cottage plan and 1t is more than
likely that six or eight cottages will
be built around two central buildings,
one of which viii be used as a mess
hall, and the other as library and
chapel. The veterans are now all well
housed in their new quarters and are
almost as comfortable as they were in
the home itself. Subscriptions continue
to come In freely in Atlanta and from
all quarters of the state, and there will
be little difficulty about raising the
amount needed in addition to the insur-
ance to complete the work.

AN INTERESTING LAW SUIT.
Why the waycross Air Line Is Suing
the Southern Pine for $4,000.

w ny tne WayeEOss Line Is SufhE
the Southern Pine for $4,000.
Waycross, Ga, Oct. 1.-The case of
the Waycross Air Line against the
Southern Pine Company of Georgia
will be one of the most important to
be tried in Coffee county at the Octo,
ber term. The Air Line Company
has entered suit against the Southern
Pine Company for the sum of 100000
The basis for this suit is as follows: In
1899 when the old owners of the Way
cross Air Line sold out the road, as
an inducement to the sale, a contract
was entered into with the new pur.
chasers that all of the lumber cut
from seventy lots of land owned by ].
S. Bailey & Co, situated between
Nichols and Douglass, in Coffee coun-
ty, should be shipped over the Way
cross Air Line Railroad. Later on this
timber was sold to j. r. & 7. Bum,
and the same covenants was entered
into with the Air Line people. Finally
this timber was sold by the Messrs.
Bum to the Southern Pine Company.
with the same contract in vogue, so ii
is alleged.
The Southern Pine Company erected
a mill at Saginaw. two miles north of
Nichols, and began to saw this tim
ber, but the mill was burned some
time later. 1t is contended in the suit
that the Southern Pine Company failed
to keep faith with the Waycross Air
Line, and has not only been shipping
logs cut from this timber to it's Halle
hurst and Offerman mills, but has been
shipping lumber cut from 1T over its
own road, the Offerman and Western.
There were 3d. 900 acres of this tim
ber originally. and it is claimed that
the Southern Pine Company has cut the
timber from $4,000 acres of the land,
thus far. diverting enough of the tim
Der and lumber from the Waycross
Air Line for the gross receipts from
the freights to amounts to $4,000.
1t is understood that this suit is in
stituted not only for the purpose of
recovering the loss alleged to have
already been sustained, but injunction
has been filed. and a temporary re-
straining order granted to prevent any
further shipment of this timber or
lum~ er over any other route than the
Waycross Air Line. 1t is contended
in the suit, that the officers and MEM
bers of the Southern Pine Company
have all along recognized this con-
tract, but have persistently violated it.
The hearing was set for this week
before Judge Joseph w. Bennett of
Brunswick, but the Southern Pine has
asked for an extention of time, sub
mitting in the meantime to the re-
straining order.

this place, was visited by severe fire
last night, Veal Bros. lost their saloon

in an Albany agency. All were total
losses. Veal Bros. were sleeping over
their saloon and We're awakened by
smoke in their room; they barely es-
capped from the building. They are the
heaviest losers. BY some, the fire Is
thought to have been caused by an in
cendiary.
