WILLIAMSBURG.

Snow for a week, and now rain Like
the rest of the people of this section of the
county, we were tied up last week, and
now part of the town is flooded. Main st.
from Joseph's store to the Clayton road last
Tuesday was completely covered with
water The store keepers all did a rushing
business in the rubber boot line Simmer
mans field, just back of Main street. looked
like mill pond.
The storm kept so many men and boys
away from work last week that it was
necessary to lay off the night shift in the
larger factory. This shift is also being
kept off during the present week, as orders,
lumber, coal, etc. seem to be short, as
traffic has bet,n SO blocked up. Until the
present time everything has gone along
smoothly. Let us hope that the future, or
balance Of this season will be repetition
of the past few months.
This is the quietest, just before-election
known for several years. There seems to
be no Interest taken in it whatever.

PAULSBORO.

The storm on Friday last was the widest
this town has known for several years.
Trees on our streets were loaded with ice
before noon and when the wind rose the
limbs began to fall until the streets and
walks were impossible and unsafe to travel.
1t was estimated that ten cords of wood in
limbs were broken off the trees on Broad
street Friday night.
The Freeholders deserve credit for having
the streets cleaned of broken limbs and the
snow from the cutters Saturday morning,
making it possible to travel.
The people here are pleased with the
action of the F'reeholders in granting a
franchise to the local trolley company at
their meeting last week. We think the

roads stoned through this place and Thoro-
fare.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflameo
a. swhen it is entirely closed deafness is the
t. and unless the Inflammation can be taker
out slnd this tube restored to its normal condi
tor, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the mu

In the erection Of monuments commem-
orative of the struggle of the American
Colonists for freedom New Jersey has not
been as lavish as the wealth of the State
would warrant, nor as thoughtful as the
patriotic impulses of the people would
approve. The fields of Monmouth and
Trenton were tardily marked by suitable
monuments, while the rifle pits at Red
Bank, from behind which four hundred
Continental troops slew twice their number
of Hessians, and put to flight an army
of $500 hirelings, are overgrown with
weeds and briars, and the field of Prince
ton and Fort Lee are yet unadorned by
suitable monuments. Bills are now before
the legislature appropriating money for the
erection of monuments to mark the sites
of the two latter engagements, but Red
Bank is evidently forgotten. Our Senator
and Member owe it to the county and
State to press the claim of this hallowed
spot for suitable recognition, and we have
no doubt that the justice of the claim
would give this spot precedence over all
others in securing the necessary appro-
priation.

The ordinance passed by the Board OF
Freeholders last Thursday, granting to the
Paulsboro Traction Company the right tc
lay its tracks along and in the highway
between Woodbury. and Paulsboro and
across the Paulsboro bridge, has the appear.
ance Of fairness to both parties in interest
The welfare of the public seems to have
been safeguarded without placing too great
burdens on the new company. While there
were those who advocated more liberality,
others urged greater burdens, with the
result that the middle, safe and fair grounds
we're reached. This company will meet
next Monday to pass its acceptance OF
rejection of the ordinance.
One cannot note the trend of events
without reaching the conclusion that the
trolley is to be the popular mode of public
transit at least for short distances. They
are to be the avenue of communication
from town to town, and be useful to the
people in transporting light freight and
express. Wherever these lines extend the
country roads will be lighted, the farm
houses will have incandescent lights and
life on the farm be less unattractive to the
active, ambitious farmers sons.
Our County Fathers do we'll in keeping
the lines of rails off the roadways wherever
practicable, and so far as possible trolleys
should maintain their own bridges, but
aside from these restrictions, encouragement
rather than obstruction should be the gen
eraf policy.

NEGRO JACKSON HELD
REMOVED TO COUNTY JAIL ov
 MURDER CHARGE.
He Shot and Killed Negro Woman While Demonstrating the Worth of . Pistol He
 wished to Sell.

Morris Jackson, the negro who shot and killed the negro woman, Annie Walker, was removed from police headquarters to the county jail yesterday. on warrant sworn out before Justice B. H. Screws, charging him with the murder Of Annie Walker Jackson's preliminary hearing has been set for the 10th of July. !, The grand jury of Montgomery county will convene on next Monday and 1t Is possible that the grand jury may take up the case previous to the hearing by Jus tice Screws.
 Jackson fired off pistol. which he was trying to sell to another negro, on the lower wetumpka Road last night, and killed the Walker woman at a distance of l5o yards. The pistol was discharged three times, Jackson holding the barrel towards the ground.
 The house of Annie Walker Is consider ably lower than the place at which the pistol was fired and one of the balls struck her in the stomach. She was at that time talking to negro man. and as the bullet struck her, she pitched for- ward down the steps without uttering a word. and her neck was broken by the fall.
 Coroner W. H. Tice said yesterday:
 T do not think that the killing was in- tentional. I examined the four negroes who were witnesses of the shooting, and I am convinced that Jackson did not in- tend to kill the woman when he fired the pistol
 Tt was not clear, however. that Jack son was not criminally negligent. He was certainly reckless, and thought that his act should be fully investigated by a court to show whether or not he had been criminally reckless. I was unable to se- cure from any of the negroes the pistol which killed the woman. It disappeared mysteriousiy."

Partition of Africa.

By the surrender of the Boers England gets an undisputed title to 167.465 square miles of new territory, the area being l1,000 square miles greater than that of the State of California. This, however. Is only small part of the British South African possessions. which now contain perhaps 90O.00O square miles. but the tract IS one of the most valuable on the conti- nent. and it's acquisition does away with dividing barrier that might prove a for midable obstacle in some great political emergency.
 Throughout Africa the English holdings and "spheres' now aggregate more than 5000 QUO square miles and exceed the con tinuous continental territory of the United States. Of the other European nations. France has claims about as vast. but 2.OO0.OO0 square miles of her African territory are in the desert of Sa- hara, and her sovereignty over this sandy waste s poorly established.
 Germany and Portugal have each about 90O,0O0 square miles, and so has Belgium, If the Congo Free State be marked off to that country. Spanish Africa consists of some 252,O00 square miles: Italian Africa of SS,0Oe. Tripoli, which Is tributary to Turkey. comes near to 10000 square miles.
 England has an advantage not onIy in the size of her possessions, but in their character She has more territory than any other nation that Is habitable for white men, and controls what are now the greatest diamond and gold regions in the world. She has also more direct control over the districts credited to her than have most of the other countries over their districts But on all the claims there are large numbers of natives who have still to be reckoned with. The par tition has been exclusively a European affair.
