Protest Against Voting Machines.

A petition has been forwarded from Clay
ton to the County Board of Elections pro-
testing against the fnrther use of the ve-
ting maching there and petitioning that
Board to remove same from the Borough
and return the ballot box. The petition
is signed by two hundred of the leading
citizens of Clayton irrespective Of party.
Ii was given ont some weeks ago that a
law had been passed providing for the re-
moyal OF these machines, on petition, but
this is an error as the Secretary of State ad.
vises us that that bill did not become a
law.
Ii is also rumored that the Secretary ol
State has promised TO take the voting ma
chimes ont Of Cumberland Comfy. II this
be true, the people Of she municipalities Of
this county who desire them removed and
their ballot boxes restored, should get busy
with their petitions, because il they can b
removed from Cumberland, they can from
Gloucester.
These machines are hateful to 90 many
voters shat their continuance, after protest.
amounts 70 a imposition.

"A Shooting Affair on Woodbury. Streets

About 2.30 last Monday afternoon, as
Mrs. Bertha Tutis, colored, was passing or
going out of Thousand Head" dis
reputable Joint at the corner Of Broad
and Carpenter streets, this city, she was ac-
costedsby colored man known as Alex.
Gaines, somewhat recent arrival from the
South. After a few words, Gaines drew a
revolver and fred two shots at her, one of
which lodged in her hip. The woman fell
to the sidewalk while the man ran east on
Carpenter street and escaped from S. E.
Wilmer, his one pursuer, in tall weeds near
Blasius Piano works.
The woman, who is the mother of three
children, was gathered up and taken into
ssT. H. where Doctors Parker and Will
son examined her and then sent her to Coop
er hospital. The report to-day is that she
is not seriously wounded.
Thousand Headp is the rendezvous of
something less than a thousand carousing
negros. The proprietor is SIM Stevens,
who boasts that he is ward heeler, and
that if any of shis men, get into trouble he
can get them out. The place is not only a
source of great annoyance to decent people
Of the neighborhood, black and white, but
a menace to life OF the inhabitants. Nightly
carousals take place there, drunken negros
loll on the veranda and staeger about the
streets even on Sunday; they do not hesitate
to expose their persons on the street, and
when demonstrated with, decent citizens
get insulted for their pains.
Whoever is responsible for the continua-
tion of this nuisance, they are no doubt
ashamed Of their work, and will now do
their duty, and clear it out.
We hear of some effort being made to
capture Gaines, bat the general opinion is
that he will be back to vote in the Primar
les, or at the latest, the general elections.
Since the above was placed in type Pros
ecutor Rogers has moved, and Sim is
under bail.

Mr.. Whitall said farmers ought not to
kick about the cost of living. We grow the
luxuries-$3 peaches and So cantaloupes, as
paragus, etc. We want to encourage people
to consume luxuries. When we plant we
cannot tell what we will reap, Mr.. Whitall
said. Because crop is successful this year,
is no assurance that it will be next year.
Theo. Brown said he did not know shat
his was the BEST method Of Growing and
Caring for Celery but his plan was to set
out after some early crop had been removed.
Set inches apart, level with the ground !;
about Oct, first put some fertilizer along the
rows and bank up. After Nov. 10 put it
away SO as to keep the roots damp, the tops
dry, and the mice out. He didn't think it
could be proftably grown here for ship
ment.
Mary r. Low discussed the question:
(which exercises the greater influence on
civilization and human happiness, the mind
of men or the minds Of woman?n in a very
common sense way. Evidently, she said,
the person who formulated the question con
sidsred the men did, yet she said it had
never been settled who should go up stairs
first, or which should go down first in the
dead of night when there was a burglar
scare.
She cited Queens Isabella, Of Spain Vic
toria of England and Frances Willard as
women who had left their impress on civila-
zation and wrought nightly for human
happiness. Against these she placed Wash
ington, Lincoln and Mckinley. By reason
Of haying the ballot she was inclined to the
view that men exercised the greater influ-
ence. Women and wine, she said, were
charged with being the great destroyer but
only those were destroyed who we're willing
to be.
