HAWSER HEIGHTENED
AND UPSET BOAT.
Two Men Fad a Spill Wb.lo Gut
Rowing Attempted to Cross
Between Tug and Tow.

Sunday afternoon about $50 O'Clock
two we'll dressed men hired row
boat from City Marshal Walters.
They were somewhat under the In
tiuence of drink, it is said, and when
they left the shore they rowed to-
ward the middle of the sound.
A big tug, with string of barges ia
tow, was passing at the time.
The two men tried to cross between
the tug and the barges. At that time
the tug pulled ahead. The hawser be-
tween barges and the ting frightened
and the next m mute the rowboat was
up set. Both the occupants were
thrown into the water. They were
rescued by a party Of throe young
fellows in a launch and put shore at
the steamt oat dock.
1t is said that one of the men Was
x-assemblyman Barrett, of West
Orange. His companion lost $12 in
money and gold watch. The boat
was returned to Mr.. Walters later by

With the four games played Satur-
day. the Factory League closed the
season with tile team repre- senting
the American Smelling and Refining
Go. winningl the cup, having beaten
twelve out of he'fiftcen games played.
The league has been big success
this season and much credit is due the
organizers in getting the league
started and thereby adding greatly to
the local sport during the summer
which is now closing. The games
have bsen watched with interest and
the results followed closely through
out this season. The friendly rivalry
between the different manufacturing
concerns in this, vicinity, thus con-
Quoted, has had its good effect and
the prospects of the league being con-
tinued next year is pleasing to the
fans.
1t will be remembered that at the
close of the season, last year, the
Evening News advocated factory
league and it was with great deal
of satisfaction that this spring it pub
lished the fact that some public
spirited citizen, who docs not want
his name published, offered to put
up handsome cup as at trophy if q
league could be organized. This was
finally accomplished with six
teams; the American Smolting and
Refining Company, the Perth Amboy
Terra Gotta, Raritan Copper Works,
Paruee Works, ChesebIough Vaseline
Works and the Roessler q Hasslacher
Chemical Works.
The games welo we'll contested and
the teams kept close SO That for u
long time the outcome was in doubt.
The American Smelling and Rein.
ing Company s nine carries off the
victory which it we'll earned The
only defeats they have were two
games with the Perth Amboy Terra
Gotta and one with the Raritan
Copper Works.
1t is understood that the manage
ment of the A. S. 81 II. Works will
take the team to New York, give
them grand supper and then take
them to the theatre.

Among the Hebrews Two Days Are Or
served by the Orthodox lew While The
Reformed lew Celebrates Only on The
First Day Called " Rosh Hsshspah .

Preparations are being made in the.
synagogues and temples nil over the
world, for the observance Of "Rosh|
Hashanah' or New Year, or the
Feast of Gathering, = which will be
celebrated September 10 and II. The
orthodox Jews will observe the festival
on both days, but the reform Jews
keep the first day only.
Certain religious ceremonies are
performed for whole month by the
pious Jews prior to the day Of the
festival, and attend the synagogue
daily.
The feature Of the New Year SER
vice is the blowing of the 'shofnr'',
a primitive instrument made from
a rams horn. There are no keys or
valves on the shofar, and consequently
the different sounds that are produced
through it, requires long practice.
The lshofar is sounded at certain
portions of the New Years service,
with solemn effect. The crude sounds
of the instrument are calculated to
awaken the followers of the House of|
Israel. t
Services will be held in the tenn
Beth Mordecai aud In new synngof
congregation Shaarey TfiIah.

an opportune time to publish the act!'
that none May err through ignorance
Of the law.

Magnolia News Notes.

Magnolia, Aug. 29.-The frequent
showers are interfering with the pull
ing of fodder and~lots of it will likely
be more or less damaged. The joyful
time-cotton picking. season is come,
and the picke1s can commence to
handle the change in waiting for
them. Mr.. ]. A. Clark, one Of our
hustling, shove ahead farmers, has
the credit of putting the first new
bale of cotton on the market in this
place. It being a little gin cut,
brought only 10 cents, This condition
is attributable to dampness.
Ere the setting of tomorrow's sun
many of the little army of candidates
will know their doom. Many will be
sadly disappointed, as lots who seem
to have bright prospects, with every
thing externally in their favor will
be swapped off, choice or no choice
This election business has got to be
about as uncertain as the "verdict o.
petit jury Voters, by designing
and shrewd politicians, are twisted
and turned about in any imaginable
manner, and obedience takes the
place of choice. This is applicable in
a general way: Of course there are ex-
ceptions.
Messrs. John F. Mcintosh, Gorcol
Griffin, Lee Fitzpatrick and j. G..
Stokes will return from trip to the
North Carolina coast tonight, having
left here on the 9th inst.
Mr.. j. T. McNeil's teamster brought
his wagon to this place Saturday
evening, loaded it with freight, and
then with the surplus of money given
him by Mr.. Mcneil to pay freight,
skipped and has not been heard of since.
The wagon with its contents was left
out all Saturday night, and the sugar
and meal, all of which was in sacks,
was thoroughly wet. and doubtless
ruined, or badly dmaged.
Will Craech, convict serving
years term on Lee county chain
gang near this place, escaped and is
now at large. He is dangerous ne.

Manchester. S. c., Aug. 27, 1904.
Mr.. Editor: This dark, cloudy morn
ing I will try and write line for the
Watchman and Southron.
Fodder pulling is about through ;
now for cotton picking. Crops are
pretty good, corn especially.
We had fine rain last night, which
was needed by cane, peas, potatoes &c.
Mrs. r. N. Owen, and sons, of
Oranseburg visited relatives here last
week.
Mr.. Geo. P. Ards has been quite
sick with appendicitis, but was better

We were all sorry to hear of the
Folk Scale tragedy yesterday. But
ever since the first two brothers,
Cain and Abel, men have been rising
up and taking or trying to take each
others lives. What pity that it is
so!
Well, suppose Tuesday is the pri-
mary. hope everybody will turn out
and vote and then stick to their oaths
and not be set of liars as we have
been in the past. We swear we will
support the nominees in the primary
and then go home and never go about
the general election. So, brethren,
don't let's lie this time, but every
body register and turn out on the Sth
of November and do our duty, and
may the good Lord give US the right
men in the right places from Presi-
dent to Coroner. So prays
