Edw. Lawrence Will, Set Aside

Judge Clement H. Sinnickson, In the
Salem County Courts last Friday, render
ed a decision in the Edward Lawrence
will case, setting the will aside, on the
ground that it was incumbent upon the
proponent, Mrs. Edward Lawrence, to
prove conclusively that the testor was
fully competent and understood the pa
per which is purported to be his will.
The Judge said that there was not suti-
Gent evidence, to his mind to prove this.
The case has attracted attention in all
parts of the State. Edw. Lawrence was
a %well-known and prosperous farm
er of Warrington township, Salem
County. He suffered from heart trouble
and had been stricken once or twice. On
January 81 he fell, and was moved into
the house and placed on a cot. He had
made arrangementswith I. O. Acton, a
lawyer, of Salem, to draw his will on the
Saturday following, and had prepared a
memorandum of the disposition OF his
property.
Being SO ill, he decided not to wait I'M
til Saturday, and in the evening of Jan
uary 81 Mr.. Acton went to the Lawrence
home and drew the will from the mem
orandum presented to him by Mrs. Law
renee. At about s o'clock Mr.. Lawrence
made his mark upon the paper purport-
to be his will. At 2 O'Clock the next
morning he died.
1t was shown by the evidence that
some parts of the will were not strictly
in accordance with the memorandum
and the statements made by Edward
Lawrence in his lifetime to his friends.
His attending physician also testified
that six hours before the will was exc
cuted he considered Lawrence in a dam
gerous condition.
The caveat was filed by Joseph B.
Lawrence, of Philadelphia, a son of Mr..
Lawrence by his first wife. Witnesses
testified that during his lifetime Edward
Lawrence had stated repeatedly that he
would leave his Frogtown farm to Joseph
but this was done. In the memorandum
it stated that Joseph was to have $4,000
but the paper offered for probate stated
that he was to have the income of $40,
600, of which a $1,000 mortgage was to be
a part, and at his death the money was
to be equally divided between the two
children by the second wife, the propon-
ent.

PRIZE FOR PUZZLE soLvERs
A Great Scheme Whereby Every Cor
rect Answer Will Win a Reward.

The greatest prize scheme for puzzle
solvers ever offered by a newspaper is
that inaugurated recently by the Sunday
North American, of Philadelphia. For a
long time that paper has been presenting
each week, a puzzle for young folks. and
hasbeen offering a long list OF prizes. But
the grew to be so numerous
that many boys and girls were, of neces-
sity, disappointed. 1t was not possible
to make a list OF prizes to keep up with
the increase OF correct answers.
Something new had to be invented.
Now, did you ever hear Of a Puzzle
Contest in which nobody is disappointed?
Then it must be Polly Evans new
Weekly Puzzle Content, for hers is the
only one anywhere in which nobody is
disappointed.
Think of it-nobody disappointed!
If you answer a puzzle IN correctly,
you do not look for any reward, of course
but if you answer it correctly, it is but
natural that you should expect to be re-
I warded, and that you should feel disap-
pointed if you find you are not rewarded.
That is what Polly Evans always
thought and she spent many an hour try
ing to devise some plan of prize-giving
that would mean NO DISAPPOINTED
boys and girls.
At last-just a few weeks ago-an idea
occurred to her! The North American
approved of it at once, and the result is
that, since April 15-the day the plan
was first announced-there have been
no disappointed children in Polly Evans
Puzzle Contests.
For, thanks to her new system of
PRIZE CREDITS,
Polly Evans is now able to reward every
boy and every girl who answers her puz'
zles correctly.
In brief, the plan is as follows:
You answer Polly Evans puzzle cor
rectly. You may send your answer OF
as many coupons cut from the puzzle
page as you please. Polly Evans re
wards you with a PRIZE CREDIT fol
I EVERY COUPON you send. If you sent
five correct coupons to n puzzle, you
get FIVE PRIZE CREDITS. Ii yol
send one, you get one credit.
IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR PRIZE
CREDITS, you get your choice OF HUN
DREDS OF FINE PRIZES described II
the illustrated, Prize Circular which Poll,
Evans sends by mail at the end OF eacl
month to every prize-credit winner.
Besides rewarding you with Prlz
Credits, which are exchangeable 10
prizes. Polly Evans also awards to tn

County Board of Freeholders

The Salem County Board of Freehold.
ers met on May 3rd. to finish up the
work for the fiscal year.
Mr.. Freas, for Lower Penn's Neck State
Road Committee. reported that arrange
ments had been made with Tuft & Lloyd
to place more shells on the low places,
and that as soon as that was done the
road would be in fine condition. The
contractors are to unload the shells, cart
and spread them, at the discretion OF
the committee, at the price of three cents
per bushel, and to unload what shells are
not needed on the road ON the wharf at
three-quarters of a cent per bushel.
Mr.. Ayres made objection to firms hav-
ing advertisements painted on the guard
fence alongt the Lower Penn's Neck cause
way, and thought something should be
done to put a stop to it. The Board de-
cided to whitewash the fence, and then
if signs are painted thereon some action
a be taken.
Mr.. Burk, ofthe committee to see State
Road Commissioner Hutchinson, stated
that the committee learned that the late
Henry l. Budd had appropriated all the
money in this department for the pres
ent year, and that Salem county, as we'll
as all other counties, would be without
State aid this year, but that next year he
would try to do all he could to get ap-
preparations for Salem county roads. Mr..
Hutchinson will visit the county next
Thursday, and be the guest of the Direct
or and the County Road Supervisor, and
the three will go over the several State
roads in the county, in each township be-
ing accompanied by the Freebooter of
that township.
The residents of Upper Pittsgrove
township, near Muddy Run, petitioned
the Board for a guard rail along the dam
there, claiming that it is a dangerous
place and that accidents of a serious ma
ture are liable to happen at any time.
The matter was referred to the Solicitor,
as it was the opinion of the members
that there are worse places in the county
an the matter should be thoroughly in
vestigated before anything definite is
done.
