Saturday Night Fights.

For number of weeks past there has
been considerable scrapping done on the
streets of Mount Holly late Saturday
nights, which has been the means of max
ing sleep out of the question in the neigh
borhood where the fights are in progress
Last Saturday night the usual programme
was carried out and about eleven O'Clock
the performance began on Water street.
near High, the participants being two
men and two women. Officer Severns and
before they arrived the women fled down
the street and the men escaped in the
crowd. Those who witnessed the fight
refused to reveal the names of the partici-
pants. Later in the night the men re-
sumed their fight on the same street. The
noise they made aroused Detective Par
ker, who scantily attired rushed out of the
house and grabbed one of the participants,
who proved to be William Gaskill He
was handed over to Officer Severns and
taken before Justice Krayer, who COM
PEELED the defendant to pay costs. The
other participant was Robert Mathews,
who has not yet been apprehended.
When such cases are brought before a
justice, there should be no leniency shown
the defendants, as they deserve the full
extent of the law and that would prove an
important factor in breaking up so many
fights on our streets.

The Coal Situation.

The scarcity of coal and the continued
high price of the same in Mount Holly is
q source Of much anxiety. With a pros
pect of coal at very high price, the out
look for winter among all classes is mat
ter of serious consideration, as it will en-
tail much suffering. Dealers have not
had much of a supply since the strike be-
gan, and some of them have none at all
at the present time.
The condition that confronts the aver
age person is augmented by the price of
wood, which has naturally advanced in
price. Some people are now preparing to
heat. their houses by getting in readiness
wood and oil stoves. These will serve
the purpose for time at least, and it is
hoped until the strike is ended, otherwise
family gatherings will have to be made
about the cook stove, as in the days of
our forefathers, before coal was con
sidered a necessity. Some people resid-
ing in Mount Holly have determined to
use a wood stove up stairs, close portion
of their house and SIT in the kitchen
In fact a number of expedients will
be resorted to that may seem odd for
awhile but then necessity is the mother
of invention
The farmer is somewhat more fortunate
as there is, on most of the farms in this
vicinity, enough timber to supply all their
demands for home consumption for some
time to come, and contracts are being
made by some people with farmers to sup
ply them with wood throughout the win
ter. The outcome of the coal strike and
when a supply can be obtained at reason
able figure is a matter of conjecture. of
which even the optimist is not sanguine.

The Great Fair.

The word great" is often used without
really considering its true meaning, but
when it is used in connection with the
Burlington County Fair it expresses Just

ton Several years ago the fairs held at
Mount Holly beat all competitors. They
reached their height and then there was a
break

tate what was one of our most popular in

most sanguine expectations The fair of

The buildings have all been renovated

hibits already assured. The racing-and

already long programme.
Ex-Judge Wills, president of the assoc
citation, has been continually on the look
out for vaudeville attractions and has
booked several. The Jewell Brothers

DeLora, in acrobatic specialties, Morello
Brothers in funny antics, Nine. Morello

specialties will amuse the people between
races, while Winkler's band-none better
will give music that will cause all to
want to dance.
President Wills is making an extra eff.
fort to secure the attendance of Cresceus,

Charles Wright withdraws.

THE News is authorized to announce the
withdrawal of Hon. Charles Wright from
the contest for denomination as member of
the Assembly. Mr.. Wright has carefully
considered this question and feels that he
owes it to the Republican party In Bur
lington county to take this step, one which
he believes will be in the interest of har-
mony and good politics. Since the cam
paign was opened it has been evident that
Mr. Wright would be compelled to con-
test for denomination and while he has
had assurances of bright nature from all
parts of the county and has reached the
present conclusion against the wishes of
many friends, he feels it his duty to retire.
1t is not as if he had only been given office
for a short term, but he has been more
highly honOred than any other member
from this county, having had five years
in legislative halls with practically no OPP
position. With this fact in view he feels
he would not be justified in making a per
sonal contest or to place his friends in a
similar position, preferring to relinquish
any personal ambition rather than engen-
der possible strife. To those who have
aided him in the past to the party which
has so especially shown its esteem and
confidence, he returns his sincere thanks,
promising to earnestly support whoever
the convention may select to succeed him

Cash around. He is ready to take any
place on the ticket
From present appearances the three
Republican conventions will be very
harmonious gatherings.
Thomas H. Birch had no objection to ac-
cepting the nomination for congress in
this district, but he would not go back on
his friend Bryan.
Joseph M Thompson, chief of tele-
graph operators in the House of Repre-
sentatives, paid THE News office a visit
yesterday, en- route to the shore on politi
cal missionary work.
DIR. Adams, of Beverly, was in Mount
Holly. yesterday. He says the statement
that he is not candidate for the Repubi-
can nomination for assembly is erroneous.
He is still in and wants all the delegates
he can get.
Ed Schwabenland, of Riverside, is said
to be seeking the Democratic nomination
for sheriff. The election officers are OPP
posing him because they think it would
take too long to read that name when
counting off. That need not worry them,
however, there would not be many of
them to count.
The situation over the Republican as
sembly nomination in Ocean county is get
tinu vary infaroctinr Haorna w HI
man, Jr., the present member, is meeting
with determined opposition, and his own
party papers are denouncing him in such
severe terms that il does not seem possible
to assure his election, even if nominated.
But the latter is not likely to happen.
The Burlington County Prohibition
Convention was held at Delanco, Satur-
day, and the following ticket was placed
in nomination Sheriff, G. H. Kirby, of
Medford; assembly, John b. Rhoades, of
Moorestown, and Daniel Bishop, of Flor

lance; coroner, A. A. Barnum, of Bor-

One of the Holman organs in Ocean
county designates as the "big four" in
that locality Senator Shinn, Joseph NJ
Thompson, Prosecutor Brown and editor
Fischer They are of fair size, except the
latter, but when he puts his shoulder to
the wheel he very materially aids in it's
movement. One thing can be truthfully
said about these four-they believe a man
can be honorable in politics and they prac-
tice what they believe.
Some time ago when it was proposed to
make the Common Pleas Judgeship an
elective office, we objected on the ground
that it would compel the candidates to get
down to work and methods that would be
distasteful to them and detrimental to the
dignity of the position. Recent events,
however, seem to indicate that all effort
on that basis was misplaced, and that the
appointed judge can forget dignity as
easily as it was feared the elective candi-
date could. Still, we should not be too
severe, perhaps. When it is personal
fight" many things may happen that
would otherwise be omitted.
