One agent, the other day, made $12.75

to work for us without compensation,
we are offering these premiums. They

Then he looks through the cards for

to the files of subscription letters,
which are all in numerical order, finds
number 27015, and compares the in
structions in the letter with the entry
on the mailing list. Perhaps he finds
that rural route has been omitted:

perhaps John Jones himself, in send

Now, as to the mailing list. At the
printing Office in Atlanta it may be
seen in the form Of solid rows of
type, lying in brass galleys, one above

FOR ACTION
ON SCULLY
CONTRACT

President Clark has called special
meeting of the water board tonight to
take action on the contract of John
Scully, Of South Amboy, who at the
last meeting, on resolution, was given
the work of moving two houses at
Runyon, for 5000.
The matter was referred to the
committee on real estate, who had a
contract prepared. MIR. Scully sign
ed it a few days ago and the meeting
tonight is to accept 1t.
Recently, the board decided to
move two houses from the outskirts
of Old Bridge to the pumpi~S station
at Runyon. The work was advertis-
ed and Martin Hanson of this city,
was given the contract, his bid being
1850. Mr.. Hanson saw the Madison
Township Committee and they re-
fused to give him a permit to use the
road, unless he paid 5000. They
gave as their reason, that when the
houses were moved to the water
works property they would not be
taxable.
At the last meeting OF the board,
Mr. Hanson was present and said he
could not omve the houses unless he
was given the extra 5000. The COM
missioners rejected his bid and
awarded the work to Mr.. Scully. It
was not known at the time whether
or not he would accept it, and IL he
had not, the work would have been
re-advertised.
1t is reported that Madison town
ship will not charge Mr. Scully 5000
for the permit.

MEN GATHER
FOR SESSION
Hsarsl's Party Creating Much
Attention Among the Politicians
in That Windy City.
NO FUSION, SAYS THE LEADER

Chicago, july 27.-Of the three po.
liticaI parties most actively in evidence
In the Auditorium Annex the youngest
of them is attracting the most atten-
tion. Even Mr.. Bryan, whipping into
shape the preliminary details of his
campaign, and Mr.. Hitchcock, putting
the finishing touches on Mr. Taft's or
ganization, gave place in popular In
terest to Mr. Hearst, helping to go
over the brand now machinery of the
Independence party, which is to be put
in operation at the opening session Of
the new partys national convention
tonight
With dozen pounds Of flesh picked
up on his two months trip to Europe
and a coat of tan on his face that
would bring Joy to a Coney Island life
saver, Mr.. Hearst has injected swing
and go into his new party since his ar
rival that has impressed the Taft and
Bryan people with his earnest deter
mination to take a hand in the nation
al game.
Mr. Hearst reiterated the statement
he had made in New York that he
was not candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination and that he would
adhere positively to his declaration
that he must not be considered in that
light.
Mr. Hearst was asked If in his opin-
ion there existed any probability of
fusion with the Democratic party or
Endorsement of Mr.. Bryan. He re-
piled;
ut has been my understanding that
the convention viii nominate It's own
candidate and that we win conduct a
campaign independent of the Repub-
lican and Democratic and all other
parties Since coming to Chicago /
have heard no sentiment other than
this, and do not believe that there
is even a remote possibility of fusion
or the Endorsement of any candidate
except our own"

In spite Of the efforts of the dog
catcher there are many stray dogs at

Last week several people were
bitten badly, but as in most of the
cases the dogs were in the owners
yards, at the time, the police could
not kill them, and they are still alive
and ready. perhaps, to bite someone
else.
One man, who was bitten last week
said II had occaHion to go into a GER
tain yard where they keep a dog. Al
though / said or did nothing to the
animal, he attacked me at once and
had to jump over the fence, or be
bitten. If people who have vicious
dogs would tie them up, there would
be less people injured"
