Political Matters.

Isaac j. Oliver announces that he is a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Supervisor of Roads.
The Democrats have filed but one name
for township Office, that of George s.
Dobbins, who wishes to be Supervisor of
| Roads.
The vote on the adoption or rejection of
the Constitutional Amendments, on Tues
day, was very light all over the state, and
the propositions were defeated. The prin-
cipal objection was against those amend
ments which increased the terms of office
and the pay of Legislators.
A correspondent of the Newark NeUs is
making tour of the state, with the view
of getting an idea of the political stu
alton In various counties. One paper,
commenting on his work, said he twas
trying to get line on the political stu
| alton, but some portions of the report
seem to indicate that he was endeavoring
to get lie in.
William H. Reeves has requested the
County Clerk to withhold his name from
the ticket as candidate for County Clerk.
Mr.. Reeves, through THE News, last week
announced that he would be in to the
finish, but he found that he was against
combinations that made it impossible for
him to win and rather than stay In and
interfere with the prospects of others he
retired.
The following petitions for nomination
on the Republican ticket have been filed
with Township Clerk Hawkins: Collector,
Frank s. Davis; Township Committee,
William Fl Mason, Joseph E. Elbertson,
Thomas W. Nippins, Benjamin W. Zelley.
Supervisor of Roads, Isaac j. Oliver,
Henry G. Hall, John Powell; Surveyor of
Highways, A. Lincoln Sailer Pound
Keeper, Samuel j. Taylor, Warner Pritch-
EFT, Joshua Willetts.
The question has been asked What are
the duties of a county committee ?"
Judging from the past one would gain the
idea that county committee is to have
one man elected chairman and to give to
him the control of everything, even to
debating who are to be the candidates of
the party at every election. There are
people, however, who think it Is about
time that the zone man power" be
brought to an end, and that members of
the committee be elected who will look
to the general good of the party and not
to personal ends.
There used to be an Office In Camden
to which people were summoned to in order
that touch might be kept on the political
situation in various places. When the
great leader passed away the Office seemed
to go out of existence, but another has
arisen, and during the past two weeks 1t
has been in active use. 1t is occupied by
Joshua Borton, chairman of the Burling-
ton County Republican Committee. On
Friday there was quite gathering, those
who visited the place being the advisory
committeeman and many postmasters of the
county, who were called together to rem
der to the great chieftain a report of what
is likely to happen in this county next
Tuesday. Orders were freely issued but
whether they will be obeyed remains to
be seen. The gentlemen who attended
the conference are men of intelligence,
capable of thinking and acting for them
selves, and it is hardly likely they will
become serfs at the dictation of one man.

Do you know why holly leaves are
pricklyl It IL 10 that animals shall
not eat them. You see, the holly Is an
evergreen. 1t IL green all the year
round. Instead Of the leaves budding
IN the spring and dying In the autumn
they live Ill through the winter-for
several years, in fact.
II animals were to eat up the leaves
Of course the poor holly tree would
soon have none left and would have to
wait a long time before any more
would grow.
Not only are holly leaves spiny. but
they are very tough and leathery and
have a bitter taste. so that no animal
would care to eat them. The leaves
on the top Of a holly tree very often
have no spines Mt all. They don't need
them. because they are out of reach.
And did you know that holly berries
are not always red? Some holly trees
have yellow and some white berries.
