IT'S ABSURD PROVISIONS

Congressman Allan L. McDermott
this morning gave out the following opin-
ion on the new primary law
The new primary election law is the
most wonderful lot of rubbish ever turned
out of New Jerseys legislative mill. Its
main provisions are such invasions of the
constitutional rights of every citizen that
its enactment illustrates the possibilities
of legislation. Leaving the machinery pro-
chinery provided for fuure copment, the
attention of sensible folk may be called
to what is enacted to happen at pri-
mary election undcs this ridiculous act
A citizen must, as condition precedent
20 voting. declare to what political party
he belongs. If he is challenged, he must
take the following oath:-"You do So
emnly swear ler affirm that you are
member of the political party
(specifying the political party to which
the afiaut claims to belong, that at the
last election of members of assembly
for which You voted. you voted for a
majority of the candidates of said party
whose names were printed on the ticket
of said party, and that you intend to
support the candidates of said party at
the coming election
1T will be seen that, in order to vote
at primary election, citizen must
swear that he belongs to a party. that
he belonged TO it and voted for it last
year, and that SO help him God, he is
going 10 vote for its candidates next
November: He must not think about
platforms or fines sof candidates. If
he wants to vote for delegate to
convention, he must swear that he will
vote for the nominees of the convention.
Nor is this all. ANY person., the act
provides, making such cath or afirma-
ton falsely shall be guilty of perjury
So that he must not have any mental re-
servations. 1t doesn't matter whether
the man of his choice or horse thief
gets the nomination, he must swear that
he is going to vote for. him. Nor is
this all The act provides: Amy voter

It Is well known that terrible rheumatism,

ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any Of
the other diseases that affct humanity. The
great medicinal virtues Of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure OF all forms Of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people Of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay il down.
Heaven-directed, she made use of Paine's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says

Circuit Court. After this bond
had been signed by Charles Chris

Wesson and the prisoners released

Justice Hoffman refused to ap-
prove the bond because he did not

Besides this scrape, Tarbutton is
under a bond of $500 to answer an
indictment for gambling, with his
father as surety in that case also.
Justice Hoffman holds that the
sureties on appeal bonds are not

of the failure Of the defendant to
appear, but also for the amount
OF the fine imposed in addition.

New Residences to Be.

Our genial and worthy citizen
and friend, w. *. Wood, has let
the contract to Capt. J. M. Ted
ford, for a very handsome two
story Colonial residence on his
place, one mile from the depot in
a southwesterly direction. Work
will begin at once; and all Brook
haven is interested in this beau
tiful suburban home to be. Mr..
Wood is aglow with the enthusi-
asm of youth over his prospective
truck patches, poultry yard, stock,
etc., and we hope he will realize
his fondest anticipations, and live
to enjoy the fruits of his labors
through many years to come.
just west of Mrs. Ellen Hardy's
historic and stately brick resi-
dence, Mr.. Felix May will erect
an attractive residence, just as
soon as arrangements can be COM
pleted. 1t will be occupied by
his mother.
Mr.. j. M. Wood will construct
two residences on the present
family site in this city, one of
which he and his wife will occupy,
while the other will be for rent.
Thus the good work goes on in
Brookhaven; and there will be
more to record as the days go by,
with their ever increasing de-
mands and responsibilities, bring
ing to view along with them, men
and means ready to answer to
their call.

Messrs. A. Mikas and G. Men
elias have the cordial thanks of
the editor for a copy of a hand
some pamphlet by Elisha Walker,
on Industrial Mississippi, with
special reference to the Gulf &
Ship Island railroad. = Its 'front.'
ispiece is a handsome cut of j. T..
Jones, whose name is synonymous
with Gulfport and the new road,
and the preface would have us
know, if we don't know already,
that Such marked progress has
been made in Southern Missis-
sippi in recent years, that those
who are not in close touch with
that part of the United States can
hardly appreciate it's growth. :"
Consequently, this pamphlet is
written. It thrills with civic
pride the heart of the Mississip-
plan.
The Times Democrat say s:
THE most striking feature of the
publication is the the fact that a
northern banking house should 90
to the expense and trouble of
getting out a pamphlet like this
on Mississippi. It is an indica-
tion of the great interest felt in
the south and southwest by cap
italists and investors. Judging
by the publications Of this kind,
no section Of the union is more
before the public or offers such
opportunities.
