More perishable freight was shipped
by farmers of Southern New Jersey
during the month of July than in any
previous month in the history of that
section. A million and a half dollars
worth of produce was distributed over the
New England states, the Middle West,
and Canada. from points located on the
West Jersey & Seashore Railroad, part
of the Pennsylvania Railroad system.
In July, 1907. the value of produce
shipped by farmers of the six lower
counties of New Jersey was $746, 10000.
In 1908 the estimated value of the ship
ments was $1,17S, 100000, while July of
this year shows an increase over 1908 of
1886, 10000 The total number of cars
used to transport this freight was 5000
over 81 miles of cars when placed end to
end.
Two thousand, three hundred and
twenty two cars of potatoes were shipped
from southern New Jersey in July, while
it required 1,047 cars to haul the tomatoes
offered for transportation. The other $40
cars were loaded as follows: apples, 81:
berries. 14s; clans and oysters, 1856; fish,
14S; peppers, 19; poultry, 40; mixed car
loads, 8.
In the last three years the Pennsylvania
Railroad has been conducting develop
ment campaign in behalf of the sgricul-
tural and commercial interests of New
Jersey. Commission merchants, and buy
ers all over the country have been supplied
with lists of reliable growers and shippers
In that section, and the result has been
that the market for Southern New Jersey
produce has been greatly widened. In adj
dition, to enable the farmer to market his
produce quickly and secure the most ad
vantageous prices, special schedules have
been established and trains known as
preference Freight" trains have been
operated. These have rights over all other
freight trains, and put the produce in mar
ket in the best possible condition.
That the campaign conducted by the
railroad, together with the establishment
of fast freight service and the improvement
of its facilities, has put the farmers in
Southern New Jersey in touch with the
consumers of very wide area is indicated
In the following distribution of the July
shipments from that section:
Twelve hundred cars were sent to Jersey
City and New York, 62S to Camden and
Philadelphia, AIS to Boston, 25S to other
points in Massachusetts, 257 to Newark,
1858 to Pittsburgh. other points in Pennsyl-
vania 144, other New Jersey points SO,
New York points 216, Ohio 80, Chicago II;
Maryland points 2, Connecticut $50, Yer
mont 9, New Hampshire 81, Maine 81.
Rhode Island SO, Toronto 10, Montreal 10.
and Michigan 8.
The shipments in 1909 show an increase
of 964 cars over 1908, and 1881 cars oyer
1907.

THERE is one thing in particular that
should be repressed with strong hand
and that is the babit of circulating scand-
alous rumors In regard to people OF social
prominence as well of others In the more
lowly walks of life.
BY such reports which in most cases
are not based on facts the happiness OF
many family has been wrecked. While
it seems impossible at times to trace the
rumor back to its originator, when this
can be done. 1t is the duty of the person
slandered to have the party hailed before
a court of justice and punished for the
libelous remark made.
The tongue is truly an unruly member
and some people never learn to control It,
When 1t degenerates into merely means
of soiling other persons regulations. stern
measures should be adopted. burlington

IT is probably safe to assume that the
Fourth Of July death roll is now practically
complete. There may be one or two chill
dren who are still threatened with lock-
jaw, but If so they have not been heard
from. Since the list was made up some
time ago two more victims have died, one
of these being Francis Campbell, aged
fourteen, of Morris Plains; the other
Howard Mcintyre, of the same age, a
resident of Frenchtown. Both of these
were wounded by the explosion of blank
cartridges, and persisted miserably from
tetanus.
Twelve boys, therefore, were sacrificed
this year In this state, by the Unsuitable
toy pistol, blank cartridge, irecracker
and other Accomplishments of the Fourth
of July celebration. Add to these two
children who lost their lives while cele-
brating few days before the Fourth, and
also the Camden mother, her six-week-old
baby and q lad of seventeen who were
killed by the bursting of cannon, and
the list reaches the lamentable total OF
seventeen.
If the people of the state had been asked
In advance, to vote on this question, and
to decide whether they would have cele-
bration that would cost the death Of fif-
teen boys and young men and take the
lives of a mother and her baby, there is
not doubt that they would have voted
unanimously to abandon such sacrifcial
celebration and save the seventeen lives.
Why don't they do it without such votei
Steps were taken in Trenton and move
ment has been started here to abolish the
deadly contrivances that annually kill SO
many children on the nations birthday.
But very little progress seems to have
been made in the desired direction. The
Chicago Tribune gave list of ia, as the
total sacrifice in all the states, but this is
manifestly far below the actual number.
or else New Jersey has had very dispro-
portionate share of the slaughter.
And 1t must be remembered that In ad-
dition to the fatal cases, there are proba-
bly, hundred times as many minor results
of the celebration with fire and explosives.
Eyes have been blown out, legs, feet,
arms and fingers have been torn away en-
tirely or so MANNED that they are practi-
cally useless. Can there be any question
that the mode of celebrating should be
promptly, completely and permanently
changed f-NeaoarE Ncaos

The Trenton Times says: ''That story
about Assemblymsn Nichols, of Cumber-
land county. refusing the $500 year
County Clerkship said to have been Of
fered to him by the Republican organiza-
ton leaders, because he prefers another
term in the House, sounds trife fishy.
"A bird In the hand Is worth two In the
bush is as true In Cumberland county as
elsewhere, and few poor men decline 81, oOo
a year to take $500 job" The Times
may be correct in its diagnosis, but 1t
should remember that Assemblyman
Nichols is not the ordinary legislator, but
rather reformer and Of the class that
will willingly throw mercenary ideas to
the winds if the "dear public" may be
benefited by the act.
