The Interests of a Municipality
Demand an Efficient Clerk

The County Gazette, referring to the
efficiency of the Clerk of the Borough
of Avalon in this county, says: ''There
is no official in a borough government
who has more responsibility than has
the Clerk, and a poor clerk can so
muddle borough affairs that three
lawyers could not untangle them.
On the other hand an efficient clerk,
whose mind is systematic and compre-
hensive, a keep the public business
in such an admirable condition that
the government runs like a we'll
oiled machine"
What the Gazette says of the clerk
of a borough may be truthfully said
of the clerk of any municipality. Too
frequently this position is filled by
some one who acts as if the municipal
business was a matter to be transacted
on 1.-THE SIDE" Irregularity of office
hours and %looseness in methods not
only show neglect of work for which
money is paid but there is shown a dis
regard of the rights of the public who
are greatly Inconvenience thereby 10
say nothing of the effect following a
tangle like that to which the Gazette
refers.-Ocean City Ledger.

NOTES FROM The OTTENS TRACT
Many visitors Still larry In This
Popular Section. Planning
for Next Season

There has been no vacating of cot
tages in the Ottens section as yet and
If the present delightful weather con-
tinues many of the residents will keep
their homes open until October.
September is usually the most pleasant
month of the year at the seaside and
those who remain to enjoy it are well
repaid.
Several new summer homes are
being planned for next season by cot
tagers here. William Ford, 4 prom
inent real estate operator, Of White
Plains, N. Y, who spent several weeks
at the Hotel Ottens, with Mrs. Ford
and their son. before leaving for home
a few days ago, purchased a fine build
Ing site on 18th street, adjoining the
board walk, upon which he will have
erected a handsome summer home.
At least a dozen cosy bungalow and
boat house homes will be built in the
canal section during the winter.
The summer has been a most pros
porous one for those doing business oil
the Ottens Tract. The hotel and
numerous boarding houses have been
patronized to q larger extent than IN
any previous season. Several Of the
houses have proved inadequate to
accommodate the many who applied
and their enlargement Is contemplated
before the opening Of next season.
I Among the recent guests registered
attic Hotel Otfens were: State ASSESS
or David Baird, State Comptroller
Henry West; Sheriff q. Asa Francis
of Long Branch; Senator William ].
Bradley, of Camden; Thomas Curley,
William J. Thompson, Senator Robert
Il. Hand, Assemblyman Corsville
Stille, of Tuckahoe; James Taylor, Of
Cape May.
MI. and Mrs. Israel Garwood, of
Gloucester City, visited friends here
during the week.
w. Wayne Davis, well known in
Philadelphia automobile circles, spent
q portion of the week here.
Edward Francis, a member of Cam
den City council Joined his family at
their New York avenue cottage early
in the week.
Lieutenant Joseph Bailey, of the
Cooper Battalion, of Philadelphia, was
greeting his many friends at the Wild
wood Yacht Club, on Sunday.
Leon Wheaton has gone to Green
Lane, Pa, for a weeks vacation with
relatives.
William T. Gabell and Henry L
Holbrook, Philadelphia business men,
spent most of the week here with their
families.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1908-09-04

The delightful September days are
proving a great attraction to large
numbers OF the cottagers and visitors
here, and most of them are loath to
leave such enjoyable surroundings, for
the charm of the ocean during the
months Of September and October is
beyond description. Many also
appreciate that the warm weather In
September is more facilitating than
the heat of July and August In the
inland towns and cities, and that fall
ing aHd -decayed -vgetzyiJn
which are responsible for much
malaria and hay fever, can be escaped
by spending the time at the seashore.
Ellis d. Thompson, a prominent
and well known resident OF Philadel-
phia, and a member of some of the
swell Philadelphia clubs, Is in charge
Of the new jetty work that has recently
been started on Two Mile Beach, just
off from the lower end of the Crest.
The work is being done by a New York
contracting firm Of which Mr.. Thomp-
son is the representative, and will be
completed as soon as it Is possible to do
the work, which, when finished will
be a great benefit and protection to
the entire southern end of the coast.
One of the most enjoyable affairs of
the early autumn days, was the pro-
gressive pinochle party that was given
on Thursday evening last at the splen-
did club house of the Holly Beach
Yacht club. The contest for the hand
some prizes was interesting through
out, and resulted with the following as
winners: Ladies' first prize, Mrs. Carl
Mautz; Second, Mrs. HI. Hansel; third,
Mrs. William Mast; Consolation, Mrs.
Joseph Geisenberger. Gentlemen's first
prize, w. R. Livesey; second, E. K.
Tutledge; third, Joseph Geisenberger;
consolation, E. Desmond.
E. F. Brooks, thegeneral superinten-
dent of the Delaware, Maryland and
Baltimore Central divisions of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
arrived OF the island in his special car
on Friday evening last, and spent
several days at the Crest as the guest
of the family of j. B. Roach, of Chest
er, Pennsylvania, who have been spend
ing the eason at the Ocean Crest Hotel.
MI. Brooks was very much surprised
and pleased with the wonderful progres
that has been made at this new resort.
and enjoyed his s%ojourn amid the
beauties of nature.
The many young folks that still
remain here continue to have parties
and various other diversions for their
mutual entertainment, at their resi-
dences, and these in conjunction with
the social affairs of the Holly Beach
Yacht club provide ample amuse-
ment at all times. One of these was
a progressive euchre party given by
Miss Helen Richardson, at her
Lavender Road cottage on Tuesday
evening last, which was attended by a
large number of her friends. The con
test for the handsome prize was close
and interesting throughout.

GULFPORT WANTS
 COTTON EXPORTS

Jackson, Miss, October 4.-(Speeial)- Capt John A. Webb, member of the rail road commission, has returned from New Orleans and Mobile where he has been looking into the matter of rates on cotton with a view to action in the proposed re- duction in freight rates on cotton shipped to Gulfport Mir. Webb is of the opin- ion that the railroads concerned are go- ing to accept the order of the commission and put in the cheaper rate. He is of the opinion that the order to give Gulfport the same rates as are enjoyed by New Orleans and Mobile is fair and just. and that the railroads will see it that way and act accordingly rather than inaugurate fight in the courts against the order.
 The commissioners take the position that there is no reason why Gulfport should not export cotton, and that if she is ever to do cotton business the sooner begun the better

BIG CONGREGATIONS HEAR DR HAMILTON EvangeIisfs Morning Text from Matthew xxvi:22 ALIGN WITH JESUS ARMY At Night the Preacher Took "Selling Jesus" as Theme-Many conver-
 sions Recorded at South
 side Church.
ALIGN WITH JESUS ARMY

Two immense congregations were present at the Southside Baptist church yesterday to hear Evangelist Dr. w. w. Hamilton. He preached from the text in Matthew xxvi:22 Lord Is 1t IF" He said that the sad thing about the text was that it was one of the 12 who had followed Jesus, and heard His mathless words and felt the mighty throb of His loving heart that gave Him this stab The deepest wounds that Jesus ever received are from those who profess to be His friends and are not.
 There is such a thing as being numbered among Christ's disciples and being His enemy" said the preacher "Professors but not possessors of. the grace of God. Many who will say Lord, Lord, and shall receive the answer T never knew you"
 There Is such a thing as being in the army of the Lord and yet hinder ing it's progress and causing tempor- ary defeat Such are camp-followers, who do no fighting, or are deserters.
 There is such a thing as being in lle dIIIlN Ol 0IIlSl anu doACCP bO AAAH agony of heart over lost souls. While He was in the agony of Geth semene the disciples whom He had asked to watch with Him one hour went to sleep
 "There is such a thing as accepting the price of treachery and not realizing it's awful results. We often find in later years that the things we consid- cred of small consequence issue to most awful results to ourselves and to our children.
 There is such a thing as refusing to go into the kingdom ourselves and by our influence shutting the door to others who would enter. If anything can make hell worse it is for man to go there himself and know that his boy had followed him"
 Dr. Hamilton used many striking examples in enforcing the truths of his text.
 At night the subject was Selling JesusP "Whatever it is that keeps you from Jesus as your savior is the price which you have put upon Christ and your soul. Many men shrewd in busi- ness, with keen perception of svalues with reference to material things, put a pitiful price upon God and Heaven and eternity. As Jesus stands with the scales of eternity in His hands He shows that the soul on one side out weighs the whole world on the other" During the day there were a large number of professions of faith in Jesus and 22 united with the church. Dr. Hamilton will preach daily at S;SO and 7:45 D. m.

STILL HUNTING | FOR WILL SORSBY

Jackson, Miss, October 4.-(Special)- Government detectives and deputy sher- ifs who have been on the hunt for Will Sorsby, the slayer of Postoffice Inspector Fitzgerald, the past three or four days were in Jackson today, and all report having been baffled o'far. A number of tips and clues have been followed and run down, but always with the same result. The sleuths in the government service are not cast down in the least, of course. They have hardly hoped or expected to apprehend Sorsby in d day or a night, but do expect to run him to earth before they quit, and are not apprehensive that 1t is going to take them very long. The consensus of opinion here is that rela- tives of the fugitive are looking after his safety just now, and that he is not far from home.

PANAMA CANAL DEAL IS s,~
 LIKE GHOST OF BANQU0

New York, October 1.-The World says:
 William Nelson Cromwell added nothing yesterday to his denial of Friday that he or any one allied with him had. profited from the sale of the Panama canal to the United States government. W. J. Curtis, the partner of MT. Cromwell, who placed
 "certain matters" before District Attor-
 ney Jerome, refused to talk to reporters.
 Norman F. Mack, chairman of the dem-
 ecratic national committee, issued state
 ment, in which he admitted that the com
 mittee had been in communication, but
 mot directly" with Col Alex s. Bacon,
 A lawyer at No. 37 Liberty-street. Colonel
 Bacon was intensely aroused over the ar
 ticle published in Saturdays World to the
 effect that he had recently returned from
 Paris, where he investigated the details of the Americani syndicate which is said | to have bought the Panama canal from | the French company and had sold it at | a large profit to the United States gov ernment.
 Henry W. Taft, brother of William | H. Taft, republican nominee for Presi- dent, and of Charles P. Taft, who has
 been mentioned as one of the American syndicate. pronounced the story flake" l through and through.
 At democratic and republicant national headduarters the disclosure aroused great | interest Chairman Norman E. Mack of l the democratic national committee, gave out an interview in which he admitted that the matter has been considered. The republicans sat tight
 Has the democratic national commit- tee taken cognizance of the report that William Nelson Cromwell, Henry w. Taft and Douglas Robinson brother-in- l law of President Roosevelt, were en- gagged in a Panama stock speculation | and induced the United States govern ment to make the Panama canal pur- 1 chase?' was asked Chairman Mack Yes" he replied, "the matter Is now | under consideration, and the committee
 has agreed with me that it is a matter
 that belongs to the newspapers"
 Has the committee had any relations with Col. Alexander F. BaconT | Not directly"
 "Did Colonel Bacon submit any inc formation to this committee?"
 Not directly, to my knowledge. al- 1 though he has talked to some members | of the committee"
 What is the status of the committees | information at present." 1 'The evidence so far as given to the | committee in many instances is conclu- l sive But the reliability of those present | ing 1t is one of the things that the com | mittee had had under advisement." | ''Is the evidence presented to you con- | elusive that there was an American syn | dicate?'
 'I do not think there is any doubt l about that. It Is conclusive in that re- l spect so far as l can learn, at least that | is my general understanding of it.' Were the names of that American sym | dicate brought out in the Senate investi- | gation?'
 "These three names mentioned were | given to the committee"

Tragedy Ends With Suicide.

Bristol, Tenn, October A special from Johnson City says IL. A. Bayless, a magistrate, this morning attacked his brother-in-law, Berney Bayless, while the latter was asleep in bed at his home in this city, and almost literally chopped his head off with an ax. He then at tackled Bayless' wife, fatally wounding her. Turning the weapon upon his own wife, who was in the house, he struck her several blows and inflicted probably fatal injuries. Bayless was arrested and a half hour later was found dead in his cell. having hanged himself. Jealousy IS said to have caused Bayless' attack
