Present. Animated Appearance

Broad Street. Selma's principal bus mess thoroughfare. presents very an- imated appearance these days. This is caused by the large number of labor CTS who are at work on this street doing preliminary work before the starting of the paving on that thor oughfare.
 Besides the number of laborers who were put to work >Jast week digging the big ditches of this street for the laying of a new water main and larg- CT sewer pipes. 100 additional laborers were engaged and started In on this work this morning.
 The work of laying this water main and sewer pipe down Broad street IS now under good headway and Is pro- gressing rapidly. Within two weeks it Is thought that it will be completed but before that time it is thought that the paving company will be ready to start the work of paving the street. Several representatives of the Crock ett Paving Company, which has the contract for the paving of Water street with vitrifed brick, have reach ed the city. This company will get in condition to carry out their contract as fast as possible and 1t is though that they will begin work during the present month.

not have Conductor John G.. Sweeten

Mr.. Sweeten has ridden thousands

Mr.. Sweeten is the last conductor in

PROBE FOR SCHOOL SYSTEM

Trenton, Nov. 10. President Fre-
linghuysen, of the Senate, called to-
gether his committee on education
yesterday for the purpose of COM
mencing the investigation to the
educational system of the State, and
while nothing was done but some
talk about the method of procedure it
is fact that this committee means
to at once go deep into the educational
system of the State with the need in
view of discovering the wisdom of the
laws now on the statute books, and the
need of others or repeal of some al
ready existing.
The committee is composed of
Senators Frelinghuysen. Somerset
Bradley, Camden. and Siler. Middle
sex. No head of this committee was
announced, but as Senator Freling-
huuysen was chairman of the COM
mittee before his election as president
of the Senate, he will doubtless con-
tinue the head of this educational
probe Elwood W. Moore, Jr., of this
city. will likely be the secretary,
and the next session will likely come
next week.
The members of the committee feel
that the State is paying too large a
sum of money for education without
complete knowledge of what is done
with the money. While there is no
suspicion of the money being spent
other than honestly, the thought of
some of the members is that there
might be extravaganza, especially as
the items Of expense are not shown.
They will work out the theory of
municipal economy because of so large
sum coming to the taxpayers each
year through the distribution of the
school moneys.
The committee will call for the
views of expert and of plain people on
the course of studies now being pur
sued in this State and try and get
companions with other states, SO that
the report will give to the legislature
complete data on the school system
of the State in order that adequate
bills may be prepared for new laws if
they are deemed necessary. and re-
pealers of other laws not deemed right
can also be prepared.
| One Of the members of this COM
mittee said to a Gazette reporter that
this work might find as result that
the scholars of the schools were not
being taught along the correct lines
to fit them for after work in life.

up along the Brandywine and cover
an immense area. Nothing. but black
powder is manufactured at these
mills
The men had come in to work at Z
O'Clock and the explosion occurred
at 20 minutes of s. The two upper
mills of the plant were obliterated.
There were two explosions, one follow
ing hard upon the other.
The entire town rocked as if by an
earthquake, windows ratified and glass
in close proximity to the plant was
shattered. Thousands of frightened
people hurried quickly out to the plant
and numbers of anxious families were
soon gathered making inquiries for
those employed there
