Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-10-12

Candidate for Sheriff, EIwood Usinger,
has been elected a member Of the Board OF
Chosen Freeholders six terms of three years
each. He has served five OF these terms,
and one year on the sixth term. AS we
recall the history Of tbs Board of Chosen
Freeholders, but one other imam has a
record to compare with that Of Mr. Usinger
in this respect and that man is the Grand
Old Man of Woolwich, 2 John Pierson, now
in the one hundreth year of his age
Mr.. Usinger has always been man of
action--one of the men who do things. He
has won prominence IN the county for his
practical ideas in bridge building, and of
rcent years no bridge of any extent has been
constructed that he was not the active man
Of the committee notwithstanding this
fact, we find that the per diem and expen-
es Of Mr.. Usingsr. as shown By the late
report Of the County Collector, and advei-
sised in these columns OH june j, was
S149.6S, which sum is among the lowest Of
she eighteen members OF the Board-the
same item charged to eleven Of bis collea-
CUES being higher, and six for smaller
sans.
Hence it can with truth be said that Mr.
Usinger is one OF the economical members
Of the Board. He deserves higher honors

the Senate, a resolution presented by Sena-

Bro Albright says Charlie Wilson, the
Organization candidate for Sheriff, is so

would be almost crime to bring him to

earn the legislative clerkship salary Of
Albright, junior By ponderous abuse o.
Senator Terrell, publishers of the county
who don't agree with him, and fulsome
laudation Of Mr.. Avis, in the columns Of
the Constitutions newspaper owned jointly,
it is alleged, by Messrs. Andrews. Wat
l1ins, Avis and Albright, senior. If what
Editor Albright asserts be half true, this
State is linging away money in payment
of a Governor, twenty-one Senators, sixty
Assemblymen, and numerous State officers,
and the farmers, the fishermen, laboring
men, etc., should all transfer their legisia-
tive interests to Mr.. Avis, then go back
and sit down. To be sure, Albright junior
would then get at least two good jobs, per-
haps, three, but what of that.
But seriously, there are some amusing
features to Mr.. Avis greatness, and we are
moved to puncture the bubble Albright has
filled with wind just for the fun Of the
thing AS to the Avis fish Dill; as passed
it was almost gerbatim draft Of Senator
Strimple's fish bill, introduced at the open
ing last session. After Mr.. Strimple's bill
was introduced, Avis and the member from
Salem, we believe his name was Hunt,
were stricken with panic, and each
hastily introduced fish bills Both Of
these the Game Commission laughed
off the files Of the House. Then Mr.. Avis
prepared draft Of the Strimple fish bill,
rushed it through the House, and Senator
Strimple had the pleasure of having his
fish bill made law, under the name Of the
Avis bill We don't know whether the
bill was good one or not, for very few
shad have been taken from the Delaware
since it was made law.
Now as to Avis Agricultural bill That
bill was drawn by committee Of the
State Farmers Association, submitted to
Governor Stokes by Mr.. George w. F.
Gaunt, by him approved, and he advised
Mr. Gaunt to give it to Mr., Avis, as both
were from the same county. This was
done. Ii hence took Mr.. AVIS name,
though Mr.. Avis meyer gave moments

When has any church in New Jersey

drafting the new tax law, the Tax Com

mission haYe done in recent years, it
blundered in not making that exemption,
but nobody could expect them to think Of
the desirable exemptions, after making
so many undesirable ones, and church
mortgages stood to be taxed But no taxes
were ever paid. Aud at the first session
afterward, every legislator helped to cor
rect the error
But, say, Bro. Albright, he didn't pass
that bill prepared by the legislative com
mitteee of Woodbury. City Council to per

light plant. No. no; be couldn't do that.

A MILLIONAIRE FARMER.

Mr.. Smith, of South Dakota, has
lust retired from active life after
making a million and halt at
farming. He has answered the
question of gaining a competence
honestly from the soil in the at
frmative.
Mr.. Smith began life with few
hundred dollars which he spent as
part payment on farm in Illinois.
In few years he had paid for the
farm out of the profits of working
it. Then he bought another and
paid for it in the same way. He
was economical, but never afraid
to invest money when it promised
a reduction in expenses or an in
crease of profits. Mr.. Smith is
fond of saying that he earned a
third of his money with his hands
and the other two-thirds with his
head.
In 1901 he took one hundred
thousand dollar to South Dakota
and invested it in farming land,
buying vast tracts of the then
virgin soil. The world knows
how rich that country has proven
as the wheat field of the nation.
Mr.. Smiths land became very
valuable and he continued to farm
it, using the most scientific meth
DDS, and selling it off to advant-
age. His fortune has grown very
rapidly in the past ten years, not
withstanding his generous habit
of giving away farms to worthy
tenants, and today he is the rich
farmer in the United States. He
does not ride in an automobile,
but he has the best machinery in
the United States.
The qualities that have made
Mr.. Smith so successful will make
any man successful. They are in
dustry, intelligence and economy.
Properly balanced they spell sue

ABOUT THE CUTOFF.

1t seems that the building of
the Hazen Fort Churchill cutoff
is going to breed dissention be-
tween the Southern Pacific people
and the owners of the V. & T..
road. This should not be the
case. The cut off is not being
built as piece of spite work; it
is being constructed as strictly
legitimate business proposition,
and will be of very CRATE benefit
to the entire western and south
ern portion of this State. 1t is
true that it will, to a certain ex-
tent, take some business away
from the V. & T., and Carson may
lose some business by the move.
Reno will not be injured in the
least so far as freight business is
concerned, but her hotels will not
handle quite as many people COM
ing from the East as they do now.
Reno and Carson can we'll afford
to lose little for the sake of the
great good that will be done the
southern country. They should
not try to hog all the good things
that are about to happen to Ne
vada.
