May BE TWO RECOUNTS
Jackson Thinks There Was Fraud
- - Here--First Ward Alderman.
First Ward Alderman.

There is talk of recount of the
ballots in the First ward in this city
over the election of alderman. Will
lam F. Van Pelt won over Douglas
fraser by but six votes, two in the
nrst poll and four in the second poll.
The democrats hold that they have
reason to believe that a recount
would throw out enough republican
votes to elect Fraser.
Joseph e. Stricken, chairman Of
the democratic county executive COM
mittee, when asked about the matter
this morning said that recount in
the First ward was being considered,
but no decision on the matter had yet
been reached He declared there are
those who oppose recount under
any consideration, but he thought
Fraser stood good chance if a re.
count was decided upon.

Senator-EIect SiIzer.

Senator-elect George s. Silzoi
made the following statement this
morning:
II want to thank the NEWS for It's
valuable aid and congratulate it on
its successful fight against bossism
/ want also to thank most sincerely
the Young Mems Democratic Club OF
Perth Amboy, the young and stalwart
democrats of the whole county, and
all other democrats who assisted so
zealously in achieving success as well
as those republicans who were op-
posed to bossism and in favor of clean
elections.
1.-The only regret have is that the
splendid men who were on the coun-
ty ticket with me were not benefited
to the same extent that | was by the
protest against bossism and dishonest
elections.
"All of the 40 polls OF this COUNT
were manned by ardent and enthusi-
astic men opposed TO the use of
money. The effort to secure pure
and clean election was carried out 10
the best of their ability; there were
detectives at every poll and it was
only necessary for the casual observer
to open his eyes to see men trailing
heelers and vote-buyers from place
ito place and into cellars of build
ings in an effort to prevent bribery.
| II think it must be admitted tha.
Ithis has been the cleanest election
rthat MiddleseX county has had for
Iyears. That there was bribery by the
republican workers cannot be denied
No sane man can close his eyes to
this fact when he finds 81 republican
ballots in one ward in New Brunswick
coming out of the box tied in knot
and 36 similar ballots in the Fifth
ward of that city. Similar conditions
were found elsewhere of which rec
ord has been kept
Apart from every other effect this
election has been of incalculable value
! in demonstrating to the decent people
of this county that clean elections
are possible if they will but lend their
moral support. This moral and ply
steal support was at this time lent by
enthusiastic democrat fighting for
principle.
This fight on their part will con-
tinue, and if it is supplemented by
the moral element in each county,
who have heretofore simply stated
that we should have clean elections
but have done nothing TO accomplish
it, Middlesex county will in short
time be absolutely free from bribery.
My ante-election promises are just
as good today as they were last week.
I shall devote my entire energy to
securing practical legislation for
cleaner elections, for equal taxation
and the elimination of bossism and
corporate rule. have every assur
ance that the magnificent clubs or
ganized during the campaign will con
tinue the fight in the future, and tina.
there now exists in this county mill
tant, clean, enthusiastic and sincere
democratic party which can and will
fight without the use of money.
L am glad that Perth Amboy has
honored herself by electing such men
as Albert Bollschweiler and William
Growney and others in the various
wards.
II cannot thank my friends too
heartily for their assistance"

money is irretrieyably lost to the south, and our children. our w.ves. and our homes suffer because We sit idly hF and permit it.
 Men say to us, you put the price of cotton too high, say to you, it is not the high price of cotton, but the manhood we put behind the cot. ton industry, that is to determine the question ill the future. Build your own warehouses; and instead of you bankers and moneyed men investing your money in four or five per cent bonds and stocks, invest in in cotton Get possession of the cotton, keep it till the price is right, and then put it on the market,
 "The reason we have not hitherto been an organized body of men is be- cause we have not cared what the price was so long as we could make money on it. I have been as bad in this respect as anyone, but I have quit it. and I want everybody to quit it, and get together for the good of the south Let us set aside all mar TOW, personal feelings and make money for the entire south.
 MT. Smith closed his address with an eloquent appeal to the men of the south to grasp the opportunity now thrust before them. Seze upon the chance to develop the south into the nest prosperous section i'll the world, forefathers who are sleeping on the | field of Virginia once fought to the death for political supremacy, and let i us now fight fer financial supremacy We must get the bankers to invest some of their capital in southern pro eress. which is eactly what this move ment means.
 President E. H. Burnett, at the c1cse of MT. Smiths address, stated that the party was not here to beg for G:cney, but insisted upon the people ef Jefferson county organizing and helninc them with their moral sup port. He said the county should con tribute. of course, to the financial end of the fight being waged. and said this county should contribute at least S2,- GOO to the Southern Gotten associa- tion for carving on the work in the Arkansas division.

HOLDING UP WELL
Local Trade Continues Excellent
 Since Holidays

Local business men express the most hopeful view of the outlook com mereially for Pine Bluff this year. The local trade since the holidays has continued up remarkably well--bet- ter than ever before in the history of the city. This is taken as q most noteworthy indication of the trend of things. Despite the fact of two years Of successive crop failures, busi- ness matters are in better shape. gen erally speaking, than they have been in years, and the trade outlook is far brighter.
 The universal belief is expressed that if the country enjoys a good crop year in 1906 it will be the mal1- ing of Pine Bluff for all time. The vast improvements which have been going forward throughout the city have been based upon the hope, of course, that the country will enjoy a prosperous year agricuIturally, and it stands to reason that there will not likely be three years of success ve failures in the crops

TEN THINGS FOR PARENTS AND
 TEACHERS TO REMEMBER.

It is more :mportaat fer the mother to superintend her sons reading than to see that he wears the latest thing in collars.
 Boys and girls saturated with low literature form low ideas, which cling to them through life.
 Let the children see how ugly low ideals are and then encourage them to study the lives of great men.
 The character depends upon the ideals, and the ideals are the standard which the parent or teacher sets be- fore the children.
 Let the child choose his ideals from the many that are presented to him.
 Teaching is successful only when the pupil is interested in his work.
 Many a child's life is ruined by having parents or teachers who do net take the trouble to understand his capability
