Small Audience Hear Willis.

DR.. A. A. Willis was heard al
the opera house Saturday evening
in his great lecture, Sunshine. "
The audience was highly pleased.
Many consider the lecture the best
ever delivered in the city. Only
a small audience heard the distin-
guished gentleman, who came
from his home at Spring Lake,
New Jersey, to fill the engage
ment. Mari IN will not support a
good lecture course, Judging by
the audiences that hare attend
ed the lyceum entertainments
brought to the city this year. "The
Brilliant Constellation" lyceur
course cost the manager of the
opera house $3.50. He has lost
heavily. The Southern Lyceum
Bureau states that the six features
constitute a course the equal of
which is not enjoyed by any 9TH
or town of this size in the State.
However, it has not received the
patronage deserved, and Marion
will have no lecture course next
season.
Col. Ham will not appear here
April 18th as announced. He has
been very i'll for several days at
his home IN Georgia. Gov Tay lor
and his singers will be the next
feature. Col. Ham will fill his en-
yagement in MAY or June.

hold the election without charge
In view of the precedent set two
years ago, we believe, as stated
two weeks ago, the committee did
: the best thing.
The action of the committee in
making the request is start in
the right direction, ana we most
heartily commend the gentlemen
who constitute it for this move
ment. A request from the official
head of the party will chrystalize
public opinion, and the day will
come, in spite of the spirit of CON-
Tmercialism, when no member of
the committee will have to tell his
fellow committeeman that the
Democrats of his county MUST be
paid to hold the party's primary.
Only one member of the commit
tee had to make this statement
this year, and as paradoxical as it
may seem, this gentleman, while
declaring that the officers in his
county must be paid; voted for
Mr.. Crossland's resolution, which
provided no means for the pay
ment.
1t has been charged that Mr..
James friends were in the MAORI
ty on that committee, and that the
resolutions adopted were "cut and
dried" If this be true, then the
Messenger, and all others who be-
iieve in the position assumed by
the PRESS two years ago, have Mr..
James friends to thank for the
setting of our faces towards the
inexpensive primary.
What stronger endorsement
could the committee give the ideas
advanced by this paper two years I
ago than that given in the kindly,
yet unmi stakable re-
quest that the loyal Democrats in
Zach county hold the primary cleo :
ion without charges for their i
ervicesw Could the committee Z
ay to the Democrats, you MUST !
lold the primary without pay?"e
No, the Democratic party is not a :
'arty of force, buster or bluff. Itlf
believes in the consent of the gov !
med, and with this spirit actual u
ng it, the committee does no tide :
hand but requests. Could the q
ommittee, exercising good bust b
ess judgment, afford a call a pri- L
iary without making any provis- G
IN for the necessary expenseY y
lust the call be made and every r
hing else be left to chance, with C,
le probability of the polls being "
pened at some places and not at e.
Tiers? Surely haphazard, slip ;,
nod, easy-go-lucky fashion is not "
,urted by any Democrat. Let Sc
be done decently and

10 Democrats of the district to fe

len we congratulate them and the
lrty upon the timely and sensi-
g effort to get back to the old
ndmarks.
To sum up: two years ago the a,

ittee wants it held without M

an all around good fellow, but

the time named for the congress
ional primary, two year. ago, was
a little more than thirty days from
the day the call was promulgated,
while this year the time is seventy
days from the day of the issuing
of the call. Notwithstanding the
little difference of thirty days in
favor of this year, Bro. Lemon as
sunes that thirty days is the same
thing as seventy days, or that ten
dellars will buy as much hash as
twenty dollars, and quotes from
the PRRss of two years ago to
prove it. We must admit that the
veracity of the witness can not be
Questioned, and that its "reputa. |

out two years ago it was talking |
about one month, and this year it |

Another matter that serves to
point the moral of this tale is this:
Two years ago the congressional
committee provided that the OK.

assessed ratably among the candi-
dates and that the pay for election
officers should not exceed 1875 to
the precinct.
"This year the. committee added
the following significant words:
at is hoped that there can be
found sufficient number of loyal
Democrats in each county who
will make capable election officers

A al 900 Note in Court.

| A case of much interest and involving
the genuineness af note for 81 900 was be
gun in our courts yesterday, the I'd inst
The suit is the aftermath Of the operations
j of Mr.. N. M, Lippincott, of Mullica Hill,
who in 1899 was much in the public eye
and gained considerable notoriety through
his operations in tomatoes, being known as
the Tomato King from his alleged success
| full operations in cans filled with that fruit
of our soil. 1t will be recalled that the
tomato bubble burst in the Fall of 1899
and the mourners, chiefly about Mullica
Hill, numbered legion.
In the Fall of 1899, it was testified,
Lippincott, who was then, or had previously
been, in the employ Of Thos. Martindale,
the wholesale grocer of Phila., asked that
gentleman to give him cash for note for
81 900, endorsed by his aunts, Miss Ida
Kirkbride and Miss Amer Lippincott of
Mullica Hill, which Mr.. Martindale testi-
fed he did. When payment was demanded
on the note, the ladies denied the genuine
ness of their signatures, in plain English,
pronounced them forgeries. Mr.. Martin
dale brought suit to recover, and it was the
trial OF tho action that brought number
OF the good people of Mullica Hill to our
Courts yesterday. Judge Nixon. presided,
and Atkinson & Roberts, of Camden, rep
resented the defendants, and Jos. ]. Sum-
merrill, Esq, the plaintiff.
The defense was plain denial of the
genuineness of their signatures, and the
plaintiff brought DR.. Persifor Frazer,
geologist and chemist, of Phila., and Cash
Ter H. S. Talman, of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank. of this city, as experts
in handwriting, to prove to the jury of twelve
good men, that the ladies were mistaken,
and that the signatures were genuine The
defense attacked Frazer's competency as
witness on the ground that he was an az
nostic. Lawyer Robbins, of counsel for the
defence, took the stand, and testified that
he was acquainted with DIR. Frazer, and
during a recent conversation with him on
the subject of oaths he acknowledged his
agnostic tendencies. Judge Nixon over
ruled the objection, and the doctor testified
that the signatures on the note were gen.
uine. But under cross examination he adj
mitted marked difference" between the
acknowledged signatures of the ladies and
those on the note. Mr.. Talman testified
that it was his opinion the signatures
were genuine.
The case is continued this morning.
