oystermen's Troubles.

Vice Chancellor Leaning, on applica-
ton Of counsel for the Sooy Oyster Com
pany, has allowed a rule to show cause
why Thomas J. Gaskill, Arnold Cramer,
Charles Allen, viii Gale, J. W. Darby,
George Headley, Leon Headley and about
so other oystermen should not be restrained
from trespassing upon or removing oys-
tiers from the SooY Company's oyster beds
near the mouth of the Mullica River,
which has been the cause of considerable
litigation between the oystermen and the
Sooy Company. The order was made
returnable on April 6.
The Sooy Company alleges it received a
perpetual grant to the beds from the State
Riparian Commission, and the litigation
arose when 200 oystermen made raid up
on the beds and toek about $4,000 worth
of seed oysters. Cramer and Mark Love
land were later indicted by the Atlantic
County Grand Jury, and their trials were
postponed pending the prosecution of the
civil suits Should the title Of the Sooys
to the beds be established in the Chancery
Court, suits will be instituted against the
oystermen for damages sustained in the
raid.

The 1907 figures are from May /, 1905,
until March 1, 1907. At the May meeting
the Board of Freeholders agreed to in
crease the price of board of prisoners
from % cents to 30 cents per day. The
extra five cents made difference In the
price of board of $982.85. A glance at
the above table will show that there has
been an annual decrease in both the price
of commitments and in the cost of board,
with the exception of the past year, which
is due to the increase in the latter item.
OF course the correspondent who sent
forth the startling item will fall back on
the fact that the increase of about 5000 in
cost of commitments the past year is
enough to convey CONSERVATION to the
taxpayers, but when one looks at the re-
duction from over 81, 900 In 1901 to less
than 81 500 in 19O7.s, there will be general
satisfaction and feeling that ball and
chain is not necessary.
1t is to be deprecated that so much
stuff goes to the daily papers that is not
only unreliable but is absolutely untruthful
and one would think that the managers of
the city journals would issue instructions
that would cause a change If there is
so much from this neighborhood that we
know is incorrect how can we place reli-
ance in reports from other localities 2
The local papers make mistakes and get
things twisted sometimes. but as general
thing they may be relied upon as getting
pretty nearly the. correct account. Moral:
read the daily pfpers if you must, but if
you want the unvarnished truth, take
your home weekly for local news.

Yellow Journalism.

Last week we called attention to an &C
count in a Philadelphia paper which re-
flected upon conditions In Mount Holly,
especially the water supply. An official
of the Water Company wrote to the pub
fishers of the paper and stated the true
facts, asking for retraction. The article
which was originally published occupied
half column, with flaring headline.
The ''retraction, or explanation is shown
in the following few lines:
MOUNT HOLLY, N. T., March "a
Allegations that typhoid fever, diphtheria
and scarlet fever cases here are on the in
crease are denied by Dr. r. Fl. Parsons.
Officials of the Mount Holly Water
Company have had the water furnished
residents analysed at frequent intervals,
and reports received from competent
chemists show the water to be free from
typhoid or other germs.
This is about as little as could be said
and does not show any regret on the part
of the paper at having published an I'm
truthful statement, nor does it rebuke the
reporter whose sole aim was to get the
Another paper, that has been considered
an old reliable, truthful and conservative
journal, printed the following on Thurs
day:
'Tramps are overrunning this town and
vicinity and taxpayers are becoming rest
i've under the burden of costs caused by
the large number of arrests. Some citi-
zens, it is alleged. are making business
of making the necessary complaints so
that charges may be rolled up. In most
instances the tramps are imprisoned for
four DAYS only under the disorderly act,
and the same wanderer supplies two or
more excuses for arrest and commitment,
with resulting fees.
"There is now talk of asking for an in
vestigation, and many are urging that ball
and chain be used and that tramp prison
ers be put to work on the streets. County
Auditor w. W. Worrell some years ago
forced the freeholders to heed the ball
and chain law. A set of these letters
was bought, but has not been used. A
few applications, it is believed, would end
the tramp nuisance. Along with 1t would
go source of revenue to officials"
This was news to many who read 1t and
queries put in circulation failed to dis
cover any steps toward investigation and
the story of ball and chain is pu-e fiction.
There was talk, at one time, of such i'm
plements being purchased, but nothing
was ever done in that line.
County Auditor Worrell read the item
referred to and at once characterized 1t as
not correct He made out table showing
the amounts paid for arrest of tramps and
disorderly persons for the past seven
years and glance at it will show that
the figures on the county books do not
bear out the statement in the sensational
article above allwded to. Here is copy
of the records:
