Our LARGE White Oaks.
by John Z. Downer.l

Thanking the GLoUcEsER COUNTY DEM
Graf for 50 promptly publishing the schol-
larly paper of Joseph B Lively, on "Old
Oaks, read at the last Gloucester County
Historical Socety's meeting, the writer Of
fers the following table for the convenience
of those who may be interested students Of
larger specimens of that noble tree adding
measurements Of Williamstown's most not
able white oak which stood at the head of
Squankum Branch when the first white
man saw the land upon which our village
now stands.
This tree stands on Poplar street, a hun
Idred yards northeast Of the Methodist
Church, in front Of James Trout's res
idence, and close by the ditch where
oozes the first water Of this tributary d
Egg Harbor River. While it is small com
pared with those measured by Friend
Lively it is nevertheless our historic oak
and the basis of a beautiful little romance
written by our John s. Weaver a few years
since.
The purpose Of constructing this table
and writing this contribution is TO follow
Joseph Livezy's suggestion concerning our
white oaks that their size and place may
be revealed, and public interest aroused for
their care and preservation
Since we are descended from the Druids,
the oak is to US a symbol Of our Anglo Sax
on religion, in a way, and SO general
study of our Gloucester County white oaks
reduced to classification will not be a
waste Of time nor this table be amiss in
adding TO or preserving our records. To
approximate the age of each tree, multiply
the inches in diameter by Z
80.

Bees KilI Two Horses And Attack
Driver.

A flock Of wild bees stung strapping
team Of horses TO death at Louden, village
about mile from Atco. Camden Co, on
Saturday evening, and SO severely injured
their driver, young man named Walter
Enmons, that this morning his life was des-
paired. Emnons is a son of General Store
keeper Walter Emmous, Of Louden. Sat-
urday evening he hitched up the team to
deliver. groceries, and it was while passing
an Italian settlement nearby that the
swarm of wild bees furiousIy attacked them
The horses, blinded and frenzied by the
stings Of the insects, ran wildly down the
road, young Emmons being unable to keep
them under control on account Of being
terribly stung himself. The animals had
not gone far, however, before they toppled
oyer on the roadside, and died in great
agony in few hours.
DR.. Stemm was called to attend young
EmmoDs, but this morning he was in a
critical condition.
The cause Of the bees onslaught on the
passing team was said to have been due to
the Italians removing all the honey from
their hiYe, which enraged the big insects
into attacking anything that came their
way.

100 Voting Machines.

The last legislature having appropriated
$50, 900 for new voting machines, the yot-
ing machine commissioners have advertised
for bids for the number Of machines that
sum will purchase.
Il is probable about 100 machines will be
added to those now in use, and they will
be apportioned among she several counties
when the contract has been completed.
Each machine has to provide for seven
diiTerent political parties and for 80 candi-
dates Of each party, and also for votes on IA
different questions.
The selection Of the machines is NOT limi-
ted to the kind now in use, and any
machine which presents advantages in con-
struction or price may receive the contract.

JERSEY FARMERS PROSPEROUS.
Receipts from New Jerseys 34,6I0
Farmers Aggregated SIS, ,2s2 sos.


The receipts Of the farmers of New Jer
sey for all products last year aggregated
the total Of s4s, ,222, sos, according to the
annual report Of the State Board Of Agri-
culture. There are 81, $50 farms, great and
small in the State, an average of 81, ,0so 81,
an increase of S253 76 over the average
earnings for the previous year. II is evi-
dent that last year was a prosperous one for
New Jersey agriculturists, and barring the
accident of drought and insect plague and
calalnities there is no reason why the New
Jersey farmer should not prosper every
year
His home market is constantly enlarging
Improved roads built under State super
vision brings the market nearer the farm.
The trolley and telephone have vastly in
creased his facilities, railroad transporta-
tion constantly improves and population
grows 10 increase the number Of home con-
sumers. The New Jersey farmer is also
closer to the great market Of New York
and Philadelphia than be formerly was, and
these markets show an increased eonsump-
ton every year
It is true that RAILROAD enterprise and i'm
proved methods of transportation are bring
ing early produce to these markets from the
extreme South and from the West, but
when jersey crops ripsn they are preferred
above all Others and command the markets
The Southern article finds buyers princi
pally before the New Jersey article comes
to maturity

Paulsboro, 500.
Williamstown, $50.
The par value of the above stock is 500
except the First National Of Woodbury.,
which is $50.
Assessor BaIlenger, of Paulsboro, thought
Mullica Hill and Paulsboro banks should
be valued alike, but the Board thought
that as MulIica Hill bank had building
that is assessed at $4,000, and Paulsboro
no Dulidiug thab Is assessaDie tnls year the
old schedule was equitable.
Telephone lines were ordered assessed
same as last year $3.50 per mile for lines
and $50 per mile for poles 35 poles con-
stitute mile.
Chairman Heritage had the law requiring
Assessors to notify Assessors Of any town
ship or city in the State Of holders Of bank
stock read.
Mr.. Lippincott, Of Woolwich, moved to
assess telephones at So each, but after dis
cussion ii was thought best to leave that
subject to the judgement Of individual as

oARNgoIE 10 THE REsoUE.


There have been a good many sensa-
tions growing out OF the affairs Of the
Chadwicks, and not the least Of them
by any means is that now created by
Mr.. Carnegie. The public is not in
formed as to the cause which has in
duced the millionaire to come to the
financial rescue ef persons in 0berlin
who suffered through Mrs. ChadUick's
operations Only the bald fact that
he has done so is given out and so, for
the present, every one can think as he
pleases. Whether Mr. Carnegie will go
still further and pay all Of the Cleve-
land woman's debts is matter Of spec
ulation. The case would not be go re-
markable II it were not for What has
gone before Mr.. Carnegie announced
years ago that il was disgrace to die
poor. Both before that announcement
and since he has given away great
many millions in the way Of establish
ing public libraries and such like, but
there is suspicion that he has plenty
left. Perhaps he sees in the Chad
wick case a fine opportunity to still
further deplete his fortune. Mrs.
Chadwick has proved that she is a very
energetic distributor OF other peoples
money, and may be just the parsonage
that Carnegie needs to save him the
disgrace OF dying with money in his
clothes. He Is getting old and his
efforts to get rid Of his surplus cash
have proved Rvere strain. with Mrs.
Chadwick's valuable assistance all this
can be changed
Bot his assistance will not relieve
the old banker at 0berlin, Ohio, who
was wrecked financially and is now a
broken-down man physically and
will never recover from the shock OF
bis transactions with the magnetic
Chadwick woman.

China always manages to rake in a
full share Of trouble. Both Russia
and Japan seem eager to carry their
war into Chinese territory, and il they
do who is going to stop them? For
some time it has been known that the
Russian government has felt that
China was either unable or unwilling
to preserve her neutrality and that a
widening OF the war zone might be-
come necessary. 1t is said from st
Petersburg that the agreement Of the
powers at Secretary Hays suggestion
to limit the area Of hostilities was ac-
cepted by Russia in good faith, but
that since China is not able TO make
good the strict letter Of the agree
ment, it may soon find a blur on it,.
OF course, this is not the diplomatic
language used, but it is sufficient for
its present purpose.
