Points In Gardening.

There is little danger of making the
soil too rich for a vegetable garden.
The use of hand tools is unnecessary
in the preparation of seed bed If the
soil is worked at the proper time.
The labor of hand wedding may be
reduced to a minimum by planting in
freshly worked soil only. tilling close
to the rows early in the season and
permitting no weeds to ripen their
seed.
The use Of a wheel hoe saves labor
in the care of a garden even when
much of the tillage is to be done with
q horse.

Despite the hard rain last night al
enthusiastic Democratic meeting was
held in the Holly Beach borough hall,
there being two or three hundred peo-
pie present. Ex-senator Philip P.
Baker was present and made q good

Other speakers we're william G. French,
a Camden lawyer, and MI. Slaughter.
The latter is keeping up his activity in
his effort for a seat in the Assembly
and hopes for a good vote from his fell
low islanders. Mr.. Slaughter left on
the early morning train for a final tour
of the upper part of the county. To-
night a meeting will be held at Tucka-
hoe. Tomorrow Saturday afternoon
one will be held at Woodbine, and In

Comments ON the DoingS of the
Board OF Trade
From the Star of the Cape

From the Star of the Cape
The Wildwood Board of Trade met
recently and the treasurer furnished a
report of receipts and expenditures
from May 9th. Since that date the
receipts were shown to have been
$5647 .33 and the expenditures $5570.54.
Advertising and other bills outstanding
aggregated $1,000, making a total ex-
penditure in five months of $S447 80.
Wildwood borough contributed $500
and Baker Bros, $500. There are a
great many people here who are con-
stantly wondering why Wildwood
pushes to the front SO rapidly. Here's
the answer and it should be noticed.
From the Elmer Times.
Wildwood has a Board of Trade
which expends large sums for advertis-
ing the resort, providing special music
and various other details which cannot
be well handled in any other way.
Members pay three dollars annual dues
and large subscriptions are made by in
dividuals and by the borough. The
annual report just made public by
Treasurer Jed Dubois shows that be-
tween seven and eight thousand dollars
were expended by the Board the past
summer, all of which has been raised
except about $2700.

Republican Meeting

A rousing Republican meeting was
helS in
evening. John w. Young presided.
The speakers were Congressman Gard
ner, ex-senator Isaac T. Nichols, of
Bridgeton; Adjutant j. Dawson, a
Civil war veteran and former Mayor
of Woodbury.; former Surrogate E.
Clinton Hewitt, of Court House, and
Walter E. Edge, publisher of the At
lantic City Daily Press. Mr.. Gardner
spoke for an hour on the national issues
and could be induced to say but little
about himself. He, however, gave a
little inside history of the ballot box
frauds in Hudson County under the
Democratic regime some fifteen or
more years ago. MI. Gardner was in
the New Jersey Senate at the time and
he said that he had the resolution in
his pocket that convicted the ballot
box suffers and that only four or five
other men, whom he named, knew
anything about it. He stated also that
this was the first time he ever had al
luded to it publicly and it would be the
last. 1t was after ten o'clock when
Mr.. Hewitt commenced his speech and
at the beginning he promised the
audience that he would only speak
fifteen minutes. He spoke eloquently
as usual and received such warm APP
plause that he vas obliged to break his
promise. Mr.. Hewitt has a reputation
for good sound oratory at the Court
House and he more than upheld it
here. In introducing Mr.. Nichols
Chairman Young referred to him as a
school mate of his forty years ago. He
gave a good talk. A%djutant Dawson
spoke on the military record of Con-
gresham Gardner. He said that he
had it in his pocket and got it from
Washington and Comrade Gardner
knew nothing about it. Mr.. Dawson
had an impressive personality and his
address was interesting. Among the
out of town visitors from the County
were Senator Hand, Sheriff Corson,
Deputy Sheriff Sparks, Surrogate Van
aman. Assemblyman Stille, Tax Com
missioner A. w. Hand, Carl Hildreth,
Horace Richardson. Postmaster Bach
arach, of Atlantic City, was also
present.

Enormous Iron Sales

The sales of pig iron in the last 10
days are estimated at 100000 tons, and
some say they aggregate 100000 tons.
The buying was at any rate pronounced
enough to harden prices-to check any
downward tendency-to furnish per-
haps a basis for future operations in
the producing districts. No. iron in
this district is now worth $3.50, and
holders are not bit anxious to sell at
that price, for they have confidence in
a developing demand based on bumper
crops next fall.
A readjustment of prices in the steel
trade, more particularly in finished
lines, had become necessary, and when
steel and iron are at parity the market
will be stronger because more nearly
normal
The output of iron in May was 1,164,-
900 tons, as against 100000 tons in
April. The additional day of May prac-
tically put the productivity of the two
months on a common level. There
were, however, on June l only 14l
/ stacks in blast as against 146 one
month before, and unless the market
for pig iron shows a distinct hardening
tendency the output in June does not
promise to be materially larger. The
month was begun with a weekly capac-
ity of 260, 5S4 tons at the producing
furnaces, and that capacity does not
indicate a production this month much
heavier than that of April, both being
months of 30 days each. There is,
however, a probability that quite a
number of idle furnaces will be started
up during the month. In this district
two have already resumed this week.

Political Reaction.

1.-The uncertainty of politics is demon
strated from time to time and the way
reaction against so-called reform is now
setting in should surprise no one,' said
L. H. Ransche of St Louis. II was in
Georgia during the campaign of 1906 and
found the multitude shouting for Hoke
Smith. Mr.. Smith was the great ex-
ponent of all railroad rate reform and
he had an easy victory.
Conditions in Alabama were much like
those in Georgia. Two years ago Mr..
Conner was running for governor on the
railroad rate regulation platform. Reform
sounded well to the masses and Conner
and reform swept the state. Politicians
in Georgia and in Alabama were falling
over each other to get In the reform
band wagon. But reform has been great
ly overdone. The best business interests
of the country have suffered and today
the people will vote for anybody rather
than a professional reformer
"In Alabama the reaction showed itself
in at least one case in the May primary
and in Georgia reaction came with ter
rife force. What the people want now IS
prosperity and PROSPERITY and radicalism
do not mix.

Secretary cartheI In City.

Joseph Carthel. general secretary of the
Alabama Sunday School association, was
in Birmingham yesterday on his way to
the county convention to be held in
Jasper. THE work is progressing well
all over the state" he said. Field Work
Ell D. w. S.mms is now working in Mon
roe ana Wilcox counties and the Sunday
schools are growing all the time.
Preparations are being made for the
international convention to oe held IN st.
Louis, beginning the goth of this month.
Alabama has the right to "A delegates
and a hig crowd is expected to attend.
This assoc atom meets only every three
years and covers all of North and South
America"
Friends of the faithful secretary Will be
gr.eved to hear that he is considering
call to The work in Tennessee. He at
tended the state convention held up there
recently, and was given a call. He has
not yet made a definite answer and 1t
is hoped that arrangements can be made
to keep him in Alabama, where he has
so thoroughly organized the counties and
is getting things in such fine order

crease in 1907 the more remarkable,
and all things considered the years
figures will perhaps long stand as a
fine achievement in industrial enter
prise.
Employment was given in 1907 in the
coal mines of this state to 21,3SS men,
and the average production for each
man was $50 tons, and the average
production per man per day was 2.75
tons.
Inspector Gray's report shows that
1876 men were killed and IS injured in
mines of Alabama last year. The
heavy increase in fatalities was chieIiy
due to the disaster at the Yolande
mine in December, which resulted IN
the death of Sc men.
The quantity of coal undercut by
machines in this state last year was
1882, 94S tons, or 121h per cent of the
years output. Machinery for washing
coal has been established at "a mines.
The development of the coal industry
in this district has not been meteoric,
but 1t has been steady. and the record
is creditable to southern enterprise.
The active period of the industry
started in 1881. In 1885 the production
had risen to 100000 tons, and in 1902
1t crossed the 10000, O00-ton line. lie
production of 1907 plainly points U~1riie
mining of 20,OOO,00O tons in single
year at a time not far distant in the
future A quick return of industrial
activity would perhaps enable this dis
trict to cross the O0,00O-ton line in
1911 or 1912.

COLIN, THE GREAT.

From the PROVIDENCE Journal
The announcement, following work.
out at Sheepshead Bay on Thursday
that Mr.. James r. Keenes wonderful
racing machine, the three-year-old colt.
Colin, would never race again. is happily
proved to have been premature. What
ever was feared as having happened to
out his unmatched forelegs out of action,
hotter news came on the eve of the Bel
mont stakes, to the effect that. unless the
track was soft, the colt might be expected
to start The going was as bad as could
be imagined at Belmont Park on Satur-
day; but Colin was started and won his
fourteenth consecutive race over the long
est course he has ever travelled in COM
PETITION. 1t was not a great race but.
considering all the circumstances, 1t adj
ded greatly to the renown of the Keene
colt. reviving interest in him and hop,
that his career may be prolonged for an
other season, at least. The breed of race
horse. which Colin represents with re-
markable distinction, is not notable for
endurance. To racers the breakdown Is
likely to come suddenly in early youth.
Turf careers furnish few lessons for the
breeding of horsefiesh for purposes OF
general usefulness

ACCIDENTS TO EMPLOYEES.
Great Number Annually Killed and
Mangled In Railway Service.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
Comparatively speaking, public atten-
ton has been but slightly directed in
any specific way to the matter of acct
dents to employees on American rail-
roads. 1t is certainly one of the most
distressing features to be studied In
connection with the safety problem. Col
lisions, Treatments, defective handholds
and brake apparatus. and the like, cause
injuries to great numbers of employees
For example, at Haverhill, n. H., the
other day. five employees were instantly
Killed through the alleged carelessness or
oversight of fellow employe. Such in
stances. of course. are particularly pain
full topic for discussion among railroad
men. and yet this is the kind of an ac-
cident one reads about In the newspapers
almost daily. But in "a hours the reading
public will forget the very worst of these
accidents to employees. Their frequency
takes the edge off their significance.
During the year 1907, on a single Amer
lean railroad, 104 employees We're killed
outright, and 3575 were injured. The cost
Of these accidents to the railroad in ques-
employers liability law in force and oper-
alton, as in countries abroad, the increase
In total paid to employees alone on this
road would have carried the aggregate to
half a million dollars.
The magnitude and Importance of the
safety problem in relation to employees
is still more evident when we consider
that for the year ended June 80, 1907, the
casualty list on American railroads shows
total of all persons killed, from all
causes of 5000, and injured 72,2s6; the
totals for employees alone being 1853 killed
and 62,6S7 injured.
The following figures in regard to actual
train accidents and the casualties result
ing therefrom show a rather discouraging
state of affairs, from the fact that the en-
ployes themselves were in the main re-
sponsible for them. In 1904 the killed and
injured employees in train accidents num-
bered 1884; in 1905, 1859; in 1906, 1852; and In
1907, $685.. AS with all other Items so
with accidents to employees, the total OF
casualties has largely increased year by
year.

NEW PLACE FOR SKATES.
In Washington You May Be Waited Or
BY ShopcirI on Rollers.

From the New York Sun.
II thought | had Already seen skates
put to every possible use," said woman
who has been visiting in Washington, but
the other day / came across them serving
in an entirely new capacity.
II went into a department store and
made my way to a certain counter, where
inquired for particular kind of lace.
Before l got the words out of my mouth
the salesgirl had glided about 10 feet
down the counter, picked up a piece of
lace and swooped back into position OPP
posite me.
well, the lace was what I wanted, but
you can believe / didn't say so. l asked
for something else and to my intense joy
il proved to be something at the other end
OF the counter. Off gllded the girl and l
tagged excitedly along in the aisle
"Of course that gave me a chance to
see how she did it. She didn't strike out
boldly, as if she had whole rink to swing
in But with almost no effort at all she
could roll along for eight or 10 feet at a
roll. Apparently her skates had rubber
wheels, for she made no noise at ALL
when we got to the end of the counter
us course 1 said that what she had first
showed me would do after all, and wo
skated back to our first stop. At least
she did, and when ! saw how easy it was
| more than half decided to do my shop
ping on skates the next time.
II didn't though. and that is the only
example l have ever run across of skates
on either side of the counter"
