On the 25th of next March, George G..
Weatherby and wife will relinquish the
responsibilities of public service, and re-
move from the Gloucester county Aims
House and Asylum where for sixteen years
they have presided as Steward and Matron.
To have charge of that institution under
present conditions is not an insignificant
service, but one full of responsibilities and
trials. That for so long those duties have
been performed by these public servants in
a way to command commentator from
Boards Of Freeholders controlled not of his
political family, as well as his own, is
proof enough of the kind of service they
have rendered without newspaper common
dation, yet we feel it pleasant act for us,
and one due this public officer, to make
public statement of the fidelity with which
he has guarded the welfare and comfort Of
the county's wards, and the wise economy
which he has at all times applied to the
expenditures Of the peoples money. His
retirement is voluntary, even insistent,
and the. best success we can wish his sue
cessor is that he may win similar COM
mendation.

Streets Paved With Gold.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 80. = For some
time past the authorities of Altman, in
the Cripple Creek district, which en-
joys the distinction of being the high
est incorporated town in the world
have been paving the streets with rock
taken from the waste dump of the
Pharmacist mine. Some of it looked
so well that samples were taken al
random and assayed, and the returns
showed an average value of 500 In
gold ton. AS a result men began
hauling away the street surface until
stopped by the police. The Pharmacist
company has ceased giving away the
dump and is hauling it to the reduction
mills.

The allegation that Gloucester County
Freeholders refused to make provision fol
the expense of the smallpox case that de-
veloped in the county Jail last week, pub.
lished in the Camden Courier and Inquirer,
is proven false by perusal of the proceed,
ing Of the Board last Thursday. There il
will be found that the first business trans
acted was to approve what had been done
so promptly and well done by the local
Board of Health, and provide county pest
house for future contagious diseases. But
denials of such charges are useless. Glou-
cester County is above and beyond such
silly slanderers.

rARMERs HAD eoop YEAR.
Annual Report of Secretary Franklin Dye
Shows Good Condition of New Jersey
Farmers.
POTATOES BROKE RECORD.

The year Just closed has been one OF the
greatest, along. many lines, in the agricul-
tural history of New Jersey. Secretary OF
the State Board of Agricultural Franklin
Dye, of Trenton, has just filed his report
for the fiscal year with Governor Murphy,
and the document opens with the statement
that mature has done her full share to-
ward the farmers and 1902 has been most
encouraging year.
A notable feature Of the report is that
the white potato crop broke all previous
records by about 5000, 900 bushels. The
market price of the crop was low, but
nearly all of the potatoes were so we'll de-
veloped that they found ready sale and the
financial yield to the farmer was far in ex-
cess of any other years record.
Secretary Dye says ut will be seen
that for so small State and with so much
territory taken up with truck farming and
market gardening, the crops OF grain have
been remarkable. The increase in the pro-
duction of corn and in the acreage devoted
to its growing is Indicative OF an increase
in the dairy business. This Indication,
coupled with the fact that during the past
year II, 127 COWS were brought into New
Jersey from other States, number largely
in excess of other years, confirms the con-
clusion."
CAPITAL CT $195, 359, LOG.
The report sets forth that the farming
interests of the State represent a business
with capital of $195, 359, 106. The only
short crop was of hay, and this shortage is
attributed to lack of rain at an early
period in the growing of the crop. The
yield is about 10, 900 tons less than in 1901.
Secretary Dye says that the agriculture
of the State is conducted on four general
lines: Dairying, with all that pertains to
to it; fruit production; the production of
poultry and eggs and market gardening and
greenhouse products In answer to inquiries
sent to two representative farmers in each
county of the State as to whether or not
the average good farms are profitable,
The negative reply was from Cape May
county The per cent. of the profit as given
by these correspondents, the report says,
runs from 2 to 25 per cent, the majority,
however being from 5 to 10 per cent. profit.
Of the various crops, the report says that
oats were better than for some years past.
Rye, an average crop. The acreage of buck
wheat, that once popular crop, is being re-
duced each year. The production of sweet
POTATOES is being extended in the lighter
soils of the southern part of the State. The
crop is large and valuable. 1t gives good
return if planted in suitable soil and
properly looked after. There are no sweet
potatoes grown that excel the New Jersey
product and few, if any, equal it. Glou-
cester county yields about so per cent. of
the total crop of the State
"The following table," says Secretary
Dye, lis conservative calculation of the
yield and value of the products named:

Constitution.
The accepted rule is that when people
have time for prophesy of their neighhors'
activities, time is burden to them. 1t
was the fact that editor Albright had time
and space for foolish prophesy of our do
ings that called for the application of the
rule TO him. The milk in the cocoanut is
that several thousand more people will
'sglance" at the DEMOCRAT this and every
other week than at the Constitution, yet
that sheet, like its editor, is thing of
much beauty, if devoid of valuable sub
stance.
