Vineland Indignant.

Vineland, N. j., March 5.-The
people here are indignant, over Colonel
E. O. Stahl's statement at the hear
ing on the excise bills in Trenton yes
terday, that there was more drunken
ness at the Soldiers Home in unli
oensed Vineland than at the home In
licensed Kearny. There is talk of an
indignation meeting to refute what is
termed slander on the town. II
there Is drunkenness at the home here,
the townsneople do not know 1t.
The records show very few repri-
mands or suspensions for drinking.
The police records of the borough as
far back as could be found do not
show single arrest of an old soldier
for drunkenness. Recorder Browne,
who has been Justice of the Peace for
years. says he never heard of such a
arrest. 4... ;-ss ~a=s. GAsa

Serious Runaway ON Turnpike.
George Moore, of Woodstown, came
down yesterday with two 3-horse
teams to move his brother Andrew
Wood to Woodbury. who resides on the
Wood farm on the Millville pike.
The two teams were harnessed three
horses abreast and when they got out
to the Elmer farm they met the trolley
car coming in, Vanleer and Ireland
in chargeof it. The car men saw the
horses make little spring, but did
not know anything serious happened.
1t appears the horses sprung from the
road and struck a tree, one of the
horses names barking the tree. The
blow was with such force as to break
the horse's collar bone. The wagon
tongue was broken off and the horse
thrown down.
DR.. Teller was sent for and went
out there but said he could do nothing
with the animal. The horse was got up
and taken away after awhile. 1t is
possible it will have to be killed.

THE PROBLEM
OF FARM HELP.

Mid the snow and ice of the lat
winter there is much discussion among
the farmers of the help problem. In
the last issue of the Salem Standard
Jerseyman the question was taken up
in this way:
1.-THE question of farm help of the
approaching spring and summer is one
which will soon be uppermost in the
minds of the agriculturists of South
Jersey 1t is not a new question, by
any means, but one which each year
makes more serious. In This section
of the State where farming is the most
important occupation of large body
OF our people, the proper. manning of
the farms is causing much anxiety.
For years the tendency has been for
the native labor to drift away into
the towns and cities, until of late it
has been the universal custom to rely
upon the Southern colored men and
boys to supply the help needed on the
farms. This labor has been often
times OF the most Indifferent character
while the wages have ranged from
twenty to twenty five dollars month
and board. This pay has heretofore
attracted quite fair supply of farm
laborers, but now comes the announce
ment that the Southern colored work
ers will not hire for the old wages. II
reports are true they want thirty and
thirtyfive dollars a month with board.
Such wages are practically prohibi
tive. and. therefore, it is not surpris-
ing that the farmers should view the
outlook with some concern. We, how
ever, are inclined to feel that the
future is not as dark as it is painted.
1t our farmers are to rely upon South
ern labor we believe that before the
active season opens those colored men
who are asking unreasonable wages
will come TO realize that they are
making mistake. The prices already
paid these laborers is high-higher
than it would be possible for them to
earn at any other kind of work when
the amount which they would have to
pay for board Is considered. The
Southern colored man knows this and
ne also knows that once he arrives
North and takes his place on the farm
all his expenses cease, and by the sx-
ercise of ordinary prudence he can
take back home with him in the fall..a
comfortable nest egg. That argument,
we believe, will go far toward the
solution of the problem this year If
the farmers will stand firmly by the
present wages.

MAY BE DIRECT
PRIMARIES NOW

Is is quite likely that next fall will
see direct primaries, in other words,
nominations of candidates made di-
rect by the people without the inter.
vention of delegate conventions.
The direct primary bill this year
was introduced by Senator Colby. 1t
is a direct counterpart OF the one last
winter introduced in the session by
Senator Cresse of Cape May.
Last week the bill was made q spe-
cial order for to-day, and will be con-
sldered by the Senate on second read
ing. 1t is quite probable that the bill
will pass the Senate this week, and
will then go to the Assembly, where
it is thought it Will meet with but
little opposition.
Direct primaries will undoubtedly
do much to reform politics. The peo-
pie of each party, in the regularly
conducted primaries, vote direct for
the man they want to be Sheriff. Sur
rogate, Senator, Mayor, or other
county or city officer. Each candidates
name appears upon the official ballot,
and his candidacy goes before the
people of the entire city or county.
Nothing is left to delegates in Con-
vention. It's up to the people them
selves to name the candidates for the
various offices.
4 The bill will have the support of all
the Cumberland representatives.

Port Norris Norris New Bank
The committee to organize the First
National Bank of Port Norris held a
meeting in the town hall on Friday
evening, March lst.
Mr.. Lemuei Robbins, Jr., was
elected treasurer of the committee to
accept payments on the stock.
March goth was the date fixed for
the first stockholders meeting to
elect board of directors.
There are over seventy subscribers
TO stock and will likely be several
more, as the organizers retained few
shares which they agreed may be had
oy any one living IN or about Port
Norris whose subscription is handed
an to the committee on or before the
date set for electing directors. Those
interested in the movement predict a
great success for the bank which has
been badly needed In Port Norris for
many years.
The bank is expected to open for
business about May 1st.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM ACCIDENT,

CcnstaDIe Aaron Smith, by a quick
effort, to all appearances, saved the
life of a lady at the railroad station
at Rosenhayn on Monday night.
He had been at Rosenhayn on official
Business, and was just boarding the
train, which was then IN motion. AS
he was about to enter the car door he
heard a woman's voice back of him
cry out "oasch me-" With a quick
look he saw a lady olinging to the
railing, and just on the point OF drop
ping between the cars.
1t was but the work of an instant
for him to swing his arm around the
lady's form and draw her to her feet
on the platform, and assist her in the
car. A second more and she must
have fallen between the cars and been
ground to death. The officer did not
know the lady only that she is a
Bridgeton woman.

VOTING MACHINES
NO MORE HERE,

The Legislature is wrestling with
the voting machine problem. There
are three propositions at present be-
fore the Legislature. One of them is
contained in the Senate Bill for which
Senator Robbins stands Sponsor and
which passed the Senate last week.
This bill gives the people of any cleo
tion district where voting machine
is used, the privilege of having a spec
iaI election and voting direct upon the
question whether or not the machine
shall be continued.
Another proposition is that of Sena-
tor Avis which places ballot box at
the polls where there is a voting
machine, giving the people an option
of either when they want to vote
Another proposition is offered by
several Democratic bills. which pro-
poses to repeal all of the voting ma
chine laws, and relegate the device
out of existence.
The latter legislation will not pre-.
vail. The Robbins bill may pass the
House and become a law. The Avis
bill has many friends, and it may be
enacted into law.
In Bridgeton, however, 1t is scarce
ly likely that any of this legislation
will be necessary. Tt has been demon
stated that there is popular feeling
here against the machine. The entire
situation has been carefully consid
cred, and there seems little reason for
doubt but that the removal of the
machine would be met with the appro-
baton of the public generally. In
speaking of the machine proposition
Senator Minch said the other day that
the one thing that appealed to him
most strongly was the fact that the
machine proved a disfranchising
agency that was quite serious. Many,
he said, felt that they could not safe
ly operate the machine and thus would
not present themselves at the polls.
This feature, he said, was one that
could not be overlooked as the very
best government was only possible
when everyone took an interest in
elections.
It is quite safe to say that there
will be no machines in Bridgeton or
Fairfield township next fall. The
ballot boxes will replace all of the
mechanical devices. and the popular
expression of the public concerning
the matter, will thus be needed

estimates that when the fiscal year of
his department closes on May l the
net receipts from all sources for the
year will be at least $50. 600. Under
the provisions of the Act creating the
department this money is designed to

roads of the State, although it will
require affirmative action on the part
OF the Legislature to make the money
available for that purpose. The por-
tion of Mr.. Smiths annual report
dealing with statistics shows that up
to January 1 the department had reg
istered 1888 vehicles and has issued
Is. $50 licenses to drivers. Up to that
time there had been collected in fees
$62, ,233.91.
In January the receipts for registra-
tions and Licenses aggregated ST., 1913 II
and for February up to the close of

total to date of $63, ,933.0S. Receipts
from fines up to January amounted
to $991; in January there were $111,
and in February to date $470. 80, MAX
ing total from this source of $1.572. :

the agents as fees under the provisions
of the Act. The maintenance of the

the law, became charge on the De-
partment of State, has amounted to

FARMERS UNION PLAN,
Purpose is to Hold 100000 Bales In
Warehouses; for Higher Prices.

New Orleans, Nov. 23.-The holding
by cotton planters of at least 5000, 900
bales of this years crop in warehouses
until cotton brings Is cents a pound
was the principal object of a meeting
of the board of directors of the Ma
tional Farmers Union here today. Con-
siderable reticence as to the purposes
of the meeting was shown by the Is di-
rectors who participated. The financial
situation was thought to require the
most careful cooperation by planters
in order to hold up the price of cotton.
1t is proposed to store the cotton in
warehouses, and to make warehouse
receipt on cotton as nearly as possible
the equivalent of money, in order bet
ter to insure the success of the storing
scheme. The recommendation adopted
in todaY's meeting will be submitted to
the vote of cotton planters in each of
the States represented at the meeting.
These States are: Louisiana, Texas,
Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Tennes-
see, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Ar
kansas. c. S. Barrett, of Union City,

Oxner Campbell of United States Navy
Roughly Handled.

Oxner Campbell, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William A. Campbell of this city, and
who belongs to the United States Navy,
is in the hospital on his ship, the Rhode
Island, as the result Of injuries received
more than week ago at the hands of
thug who sand-bagged the sailor boy
and robbed him of about SIS.
The parents of young Mr. Campbell
were informed of the affair and the
latest news was to the effect that the
young man was getting on very well.
1t seems that Mr.. Campbell had OBJ
tanned furlough for the purpose of
visiting his parents, and after drawing
his savings for this trip, he was on the
way to the station when attacked and
robbed Nearly two years ago Mr..
Campbell joined the Navy, was assign
ed to the battle ship Rhode Island, and
since that time he has seen a great
deal of the world and had some ex-
periences not altogether pleasant, in
Guiding the one in New York city few
nights ago.

ARCTIC COTTON PLANT.

Tho Climax Of Natures irony In Tho
Far North.
The climax Of natures irony in the
arctic is the cotton plant says the Cir
Gle. Wherever cotton blooms, declares
the miner, Ice Is not far below. One
may trudge for miles through fields Of
cotton, the white, silky tops swaying
de6antly In the arctic breeze. The
blossom is silky, dainty, illusive as the
down Of our own yellow dandelion.
From the beginning Of June on until
August the tundra is white with the
cotton plant. Unlike the cotton of the
southern states, the fiber Is short and
soft, having more OF the texture Of silk
than OF cotton,
The cotton plant Will In all probabil-
ity some day be the means Of develop
Ing an Alaskan industry giving en-
ployment to thousands. Today, howev-
er, the cotton fields are purely decora-
tive-a splendid sweep Of immaculate
bloom ip bleak, timberless landscape
guarded by hills ever hung In wells Of
deepest purple. In great bouquets 1t Is
occasionally met In a miners shack,
while not few housewives gather the
cotton for pillow filing.
Throughout the cotton fields flowers
bloom In abnormal splendor, as be-
comes a country In which the sun
shines continuously during summers
voluptuous reign. 1t is an intoxicating
10y for the flower hunter to gather
great armfuls Of purple larkspur, blue
bells, monks head, primroses, sweet
peas, beautiful purple and red asters
large as the most cultivated, lilies Of
the valley, baby breath, yellow arrow,
sage rose. pink and white arctic gera-
mum, crimson rhododendrons and gi-
ant fireweed, all growing on the hill
sides. TO enumerate further is to re-
produce florists catalogue.
