The Act That E. G. Roger.
Aided in Killing.

Many of Sullivan county voters
are inquiring into the merits of the
bill establishing a law prohibiting
the pollution of streams, which came
before the last le- islature and was
there killed. We here present the
act as it appears in the Legislative
Record, the substance of which reads
as follows:
To PREVENT THE POLLUTION OF
THE WATERS OF THE STATE.
An act to prevent the pollution of the
waters OF the State, being a further
| supplement to an act entitled San act
to establish State Board of Health for
the better protection OF lite and health
and TO prevent the spread of contagious
| and infectious diseases in this Common
/ wealth.
Section !. BE it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, in General
Assembly met, and hereby enacted by the
authority of the same. That the State
Board OF Health shall hereafter be entrust-
ed with the general care and oversight
Of the purity of the waters of the State
and shall provide such general supervision
examinations and recommendations as
shall be necessary to protect the waters
OF the StRe from further pollutions and
to secur> the improvement OF the purity
of such waters as may be already polluted.
Section =. The term "waters Of the
State" wherever used in this act shall in
clude all streams or bodies of surface
water and of ground water, whether nat
ural or artificial within the boundaries
of the State, the term pollution OF the
water wherein used in this act shall be
understood to apply only to pollution OF

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.

I'm the NJ. f. Church which was
profusely decorated with flowers and
evergreens, on Wednesday morning
at $3.50 occurred the beautiful wedding
of Mr.. Andrew Rose and Mrs, Lorena
Litzelman, both of this place.
AT the hour designated many of
our town people and visitors congre
gated ut the church to witness the
service. Mrs. Edwin NJ. Dunham
presided at the organ and rendered
a beautiful wedding march.
The contracting parties marched
up the aisle led by the grOOm's best
man, William j. Griffin of Phila.,
and the brides maid Miss Irene Rose
of Laporte. They were met at the
altar by the pastor, S. B. Bidlack
who used the wedding ring service
of the church ritual that made them
man and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Rose
after receiving many congratulations
left on the 10 O'Clock train for short
wedding tour. They will return
near the last of the week and open
their new home already furnished
in the Chas. Tinklepaugh house.

Lopez, September Is, 1902.
r. WING. Editor of News Item.

am glad you are calling attention
to our county debt, for the people
ought to understand it, and take
some steps to reduce the debt. |
don't understand what right the
ct mmissiOners had to make such Il
big debt. One of my friends sent
me Smull's Hand Book and / find in
the Constitution of Pennsylvania,
on page 232, "The debt of any coun-
ty shall never exceed seven per ceE-
tum upon the assessed valuation of
the taxable property therein, nor
such municipality incur any new
debt, or increase its Indebtedness to
an amount exceeding two per CEN
tum upon such assessed valuation OF
property, without the assent of the
electors thereof at a public election
i'm such manner as shall be provided
by law"
Now | don't know the assessed val
uation of Sullivan county in 1896,
but friend who knows about il
says it did not then exceed $780,
600. 1t appears that in 1891 II bond.
ed debt of $4,000 was incurred,
which was close up to two per cent
on the then assessed valuation. In
1896 a new series of bonds were issu'
ed amounting to $4,000, increasing
the bonded debt to $37. 800, which
was fully two per cent on the assess
ed valuation of the county, and vi
to the Constitutional limit.
It is a startling fact thai
during that same year in ad'
dition to the bonds, Interest
bearing orders were issued fol
borrowed money amounting tt
! $40, ,232. 90. Was this constitu
tional ? If not constitutional ar
not these interest bearing order
worthless? If illegal must we b.
taxed to pay them / ask thes

Hon. Fred. A. GOdcharles
to Editor John G. ScOVtcn.

The following letter was forward
ed to John q. Scouten in time foi
publication in the Herald this week
and the same has been offered to the
other Sullivan county papers:
Milton, Pat, Sept. l3, 1902.
Mr.. j. G. Scouten, DushOre, Pa.
My dear sir:- Your article publish.
cd in this weeks 'THerald' reflect
ing upon my father, CA .C;Odcharles
and myself is false in almost every
particular. There is enough truth
in it to justify me in asking you To
make my reply as public as was your
statement.
Ii is true that | am the son of my
father and that at one time prior to
1888 my father in company with six
other gentlemen was the owner OF
the nail mills mt Towunda, Northum-
berland and Milton, in that year
this partnership was dissolved and
my father was allotted the Milton
mill, when with S. "A. GodcharIes
and {. ID. GOdcharles the firm of the
G. a. Godcharles Company was or
ganized and from that date he had
no interest whatever in the mills ut
Towanda and Northumberland.
In the year 1893 my father failed
in business, a failure caused directly
by the failure of Fuller Bros. 4 Co.,
New York, and Harrisburg Rolling
Mill Company of Harrisburg.
After fathers failure my brother,
William b., and myself worked in
the mill as nail makers under the
assignee and our wages were expend-
ed in the support of our family.
After three years under the as
signee the mill was sold at an as
signee's sale and at that open public
sale my brother and 1, with money
and credit furnished by my grand
father, S. A. Burkenbine, of Nor
thumberland, Pa, purchased the mill
and since that time we have been
the sole owners. We have made a
success in our business because we
began as practical workmen, because
we have been surrounded by faithful,
skilled and reU paid wOrkmen, and
because the trade has been good.
AS far as the assertion that my
father lives in 500, 900 house is con-
cerned the truth is that my grand
father Burkenbine, who was a man
of some wealth, gave the land to my
mother and provided the means to
build the house. for her. 1t cost
$I4, 900. If these assertions are
doubted you are referred to the deed
books of Northumberland county,
an: = """man Reitmeyer, the archi.
tect and to w. H.H. Hoffman & Son,
the builders, of Williamsport, Pa.
l send you this letter because |
believe in decency in politics as
well as any other field of activity
My father may have made mistakes
he certainly has been unfortunate in
IA business way, but all l ask is that
the people of this Congressional Dis
trict shall look up the record of my
self as a candidate for Congress ant
not attempt to besmirch my goot
name because of business failures
with which neither l nor my father
had any thing to do, which eventual
ly drove him to the wall, and at ;
time before | was of age.
Believe me, sir,
Yours truly,
| FRED A GODCHARIES

good for Philadelphia until the club

the ST. Louis Club that it has now

Another change that has been made
in the same league is in the relative
standing of Detroit and Baltimore. De-
