Advise for the Newly Married.

If it were possible for the young
husband to take up life where some
prosperous business man has laid it
down there might be spared him the
self denial and long years Of labor that
otherwise lay the foundation for his
future success says Aunt Jane in Wal
lace's Farmer. Most young people
mutt begin life with very little money
or experience, and it is to them wish
to preach.
Perhaps the income may be sufficient
to provide nicely furnished home in
a rented house, plenty of rich food
expensive clothing, but there is moth

are wonderful words. A new life is
opening before you; old things have
passed away. You have cut asunder
the chains that bound you to the old

wrecked on the shoals or reefs of ex-

expenses. Begin by being contented

income that you may lay by some

Mills Seek Help in Foreign
Lands.

On account of the great scarcity of
mill help in this it has been necessary
for one of the neighboring Carolina
cotton mills to get foreign help, and
it is learned that there will be five
Belgian families and about Is English
speaking immigrants brought to this
section in few weeks to work in the
mill. The Belgian help has been Sc
cured through the aid of immigration
Agent Watson, of South Carolina,
who is in the east now looking for
suitable immigrants for the people
whom he represents.
The bureau proposed for the State
of Georgia was for a similar purpose,
but on account of large number of
bills having priority it had to be car
ried over until next year, at which time
it will most likely be taken up and
passed.
All of the mills in this section Of
the country are needing labor, and it
is belived that they will eventually
have to resort to the eastern fields to
get the people to work in the mills.
Through the efforts of immigration
Agent Watson, of South Carolina,
there have been large number of
immigrants brought into that State,
and it is believed with the proper
efforts exercised in this State that the
situation in regard to labor could be
relieved to a great extent.-Augusta

What We Saw Abroad.
n tho Editor of the Disnatch :.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
We have very near lived to see forty
seven winters of our life, and we
venture to say through this period of
time we have never travelled dis
tance of forty miles north, south, east
or west from our old homestead up to
six or seven months ago. Now, MIR.
Editor, if you and the dear readers OF
the Dispatch will excuse us this time.
We will promise to do better in the
future. The first thing in which we
shall mention is why don't the city of
Columbia take lessons under the city
of Augusta, Ga, and make Congaree
and Broad river bridges told free.
The people who live on the South
Carolina side of the Savannah river
seems to be privilege characters so
far as crossing the two bridges which
span across the river over into the
city of Augusta for every five cents
for footman, ten cents for buggy,
forty-cents for two-horse wagon, is
left over in the city of Augusta. Wake
up Columbia.
The old State of Georgia has her
portions of railroads. Her fruit in
dustry is wonderful. Thousands OF
dollars worth of fruit is shipped outof
the State every year. We were very
much surprised to know the interest
in which are taken in fruit growing in
Georgia and Alabama. In Gadsden,
Ala, Mr.. Elliotte, an extensive fruit
grower, who was hauling with five
wagons day and night for two weeks,
Sunday not excepted, realized, after
all expenses was pad, $4,000 for his
crop. Now, my good people, how
much cotton would you have had
to raised to have brought this amount
of money, not counting the work from
Xmas to Xmas. Open your eyes,
good people. Well, we would like to
ask our solicitor and lawyers a ques-
ton. Is it customary for them to sit
on chair with their legs crossed and
one arm thrown back of chair to ques-
ton a witness while on the stand?
Now, we experienced this sight in an
Alabama town.
Well, we want to tell you something
else. We had occasion to stop oyerin
Chattanooga, Tenn, last Friday, and
who do you suppose we saw there
with a bee-gum-hat on. His excellency
Governor Heyw7rd and his staff,
and we found them chatting with three
nice young ladies, too. That was all
right governor. We were proud to
see you with the young ladies. We
had the pleasure of seeing the goyer-
nors of Georgia and Alabama, and
according to our judgement, so far as
looks and intelligence, Governor Hey
ward would certainly take the red
ribbon. One more sight to relate,
and that is Lookout Mountain at
Chattanooga. The street cars run to
the foot of this mountain, a cable
wire is used to pull US on top, from
which we can see over into seven diff
ferent States-North and South Care
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Virginia.

paign year, is there any demand for
raw hide traces. mo, but the dispen-
sary answers all purposes.-Ed. Lex

County Committee When Threat
ened With MandamuS Proceed
IngS Gets Together Quick.
TO HAVE | OS DELEGATES

Alarmed at the action taken by the
Independent Republican League in
commencing mandamus proceedings
to compel it to comply with the law
which requires the filing of the list
of delegates by July II, the republi-
can county committee held its zap
portionment" meeting in New Bruns-
wick Friday afternoon to decide upon
the number of delegates who will
nominate the candidates for the Off
ces to be filled by popular vote next
fall
The apportionment of delegates is
made according to the number of
votes cast at the last gubernatorial
election. There viii be los dele
gates this year, an increased of five.
The Sixth Ward of New Brunswick,
Highland Park, and Woodbridge
township, each get one additional
delegate. The new borough of
Roosevelt gets two delegates.
The committee also prepared its
list of challengers. The meeting was
one Of the largest the committee has
ever held, there being only TWO or
three absentees.
The chairman of the committee
had repeatedly ignored the request
of the league members that the list
of delegates to be filed. The law re-
quires that this be done by July 1,
but knowing that it would hold up
some of the plans of the Independent
League, the matter was delayed, in
defiance of the law, until, at the last
meeting of the league it was decided
to take action at once to compel the
committee to act and TO fight every
trick the ring" attempts to put up.
Seeing that the league meant busi-
ness the committee has been hastily
called together and the list of dele
gates has been completed. Thus an
other of Boss Strong's schemes to
steal the government from the peo-
pie has been squashed.

BOY FELL OFF
PILE DRIVER.
Was Severely Injured and Was
Taken to the HOSpitaI
Rendered Unconscious.

James Mccormick, fifteen years
old, of 60 Broad street, while play
ing on pile driver yesterday morn
ing in company with several other
boys, fell from cross piece on the
tower, breaking his collar bone, one
of his legs and receiving a bad blow
on the head, causing concussion OF
the brain.
Dr. G.. w. Tyrrell was called and
summoned an ambulance, which
took the boy to the hospital.
Several of the boys, in company
with young Mccormick, went in
bathing and swan to the pile driver,
which was anchored few feet from
the shore.
Mccormick and John Gerba, of
Mechanic street, climbed to the top
of the slide which carries the ham
mer and on their way down McCor-
mick started to walk out on one of
the braces about twenty-five feet
above the deck. He lost his balance
and fell, striking on the deck few
inches from an anchor and narrowly
escaped instant death.
His mother was notified and ar
rfyed at the place as they were taxi
ing the boy to the hospital, but he
was unconscious and has remained
in a semi-conscious condition since.
Though in a critical condition he
has fair chance for recovery.

ANOTHER BIG
LEAK IN MAIN
Declared to be Due to the Acid
in the Mud on the
Meadows.

Another leak in the sixteen-inch
main was discovered this morning on
the meadows across the river Men
going by in boats noticed the water
squirting up in the air and reported
it in this city. A repair gang was
sent over at once and it was neces-
sary to shut off the water in the main
before any work could be done.
The present break is due to the
mud eating away the pipe, at least
that is what superintendent Burns
thinks.
Upon examination it was found
that the leak is in the center of one
of the lengths, this practically prov
ing that the action of the mud has
caused the pape to gradually decom-
pose.
AS was stated in the NEWS some
time ago, unless the water board take
action on the matter at once, in a
few years there will be no 16-inch
main at all. The other main is also
liable to become the same way, which
would cripple the city should leaks
occur in both pipes at the same time.
The pressure in this city is not
much affected by the leak, thirty-five
pounds being the average reading of
the gauge in the city hall today.
Rapid progress is being made by
the repair gang on the meadows, and
it is thought that the break can be
repaired by tonight.

Col. Fordyce tod of Boss Strong
demanding that he vote in favor of
the Morris canal bill, of the boss tell
ing him he would regret it when he
said he would not. The speaker then
showed what Boss Strong meant by
this threat, when, at the last county
convention some of the delegates
wanted to renominate Fordyce, but
Boss Strong went to him on the
morning of the convention and said:
you cannot have a denomination" !"
That was how the boss was going to
make him regret his action for defy
ing the boss orders and voting as he
believed for the best interests of the
people.
Col. Fordyce also told how Boss
Strong sat directly behind him on
the main floor of the assembly in an
effort to intimidate him when the
vote on the canal bill was taken. The
audience was asked to consider for
themselves what prompted Boss
Strong to be lobbying for this bill,
which was for the benefit of rail-
road corporation and directly against
the interests of the people.
Col. Fordyce charged the present
MiddleseX assemblymen with voting
as Boss Strong directed them on mea-
sures affecting corporations. He said
he had put the question to some of
them and they did not deny it.
One of the present assemblymen
was in the audience and heard Col
Fordyce make the charge.
Col. Fordyce expressed the hope
that Jackson would hold a meeting in
Metuchen He then stated clearly his
platform and told those in his audi
ence to ask jackson what he stood
for. The speaker defied the ina
chine to state platform. He de-
clared that they dare not because
Boss Strong, along with the other
county bosses, had not yet received
their orders from the corporations.
Mr.. Corey next introduced Mr., Rec
ord, who made a ringing speech on
the platform on the Colby movement.
He told of the power the corporations
had over the legislators and backed
his statement by facts in Mayor Mark
Fagan's experience at Trenton.
The system of smothering bills in
committee was dwelt upon, the nomi-
nation of candidates by the direct
vote of the people aN the primaries
was explained. He pointed out how
