Charleston, September 20, 1909.
Editor Statesman Democrat:
Dear Sir:
State Superintendent OF Free
Schools, NJ. p. Shawkey, has desig-
mated Friday Oct. !, 1909. as Cleanup
and Beauty Day and | would ask to
urge the teachers and patrons and i1-
habitants of Berkeley county to OBJ
serve this day, or at least a part Of 1t
in cleaning up the school rooms and
grounds, their homes, and lawns, and
their farms.
Nothing adds more to the attractive
ness OF home than few flowers. or
trees planted about the premises, or to
school house or grounds than clean
walls and few attractive pictures or
few shrubs massed about the build
ings, or well kept fences and lanes on
the farm. These places mentioned
are the places where the future gener-
ations are being reared, and Is it not
best to give our boys and girls, at least
little better attention than our stock?
Did it ever occur Eatronso OF our schools,
how particular you are about the sur
roundings of your tho rough-bred stock
or your store? Are you not lit tie
overly anxious that that thorough
bred colt shall have the best Of care?
Now, that boy or girl Of yours is a
thoroughbred with better pedigree
than your colt. Don't you think SO?
Then let us give him or her a, good
chance. Let US make their little lives
more happy. Remember they are pass
ing this way but once and let us plant
as many roses as we can along the
way, that their passing may be more
enjoyable.
l hope that each teacher will take
the initiative in this work and that
each patron lefty and country may
lend hand with will in this good
work.
With best wishes for the future OF
our schools. / am
Yours truly,
Willis +. Evans, Co Supt.

The daily news papers bting ius the
SAD news OF the death " Governor John
A. Johnson. of Minnesota, on Tuesday
morning after sn illness Of about
week incident to an operation which
was performed upon hin for sppen-
daciils.
John A. johnson was in every es-
sen'isla self.made man. lie was
born m The town OF st. Peter, Mimi,
Jnly on ~, 1851, Of humble parcntags
HIS father and mother having been
Sweuishimm migrants, but the boy man-
aged TO get to the public school Of ST.
Peter until he was ~ yeas, when his
father died ana the care ~ his m OF her
and youngest brother felton, his young
shoulders.
The boy went to work a. an errAr d
hoy IN drug store NJ -. Peter, and
being anxious TO secure an education,
studied during his spare hours and at
night.
BE saved every penny heeouid, and
few years later secured an interest
In the 81. Peter HeiaId. becoming its
editor.
Like the majority OF the Swedish
Americany who have settled in Mime
sofa, young John son took an interest
ia politics, soon becoming recognized
~ one Of the leaders Of the Democratic
party in st. Peter. His editorials deal
ing with matters Of farty policy were
widely quoted, not only In his natiys
state, but all through the country.
Joining the local company Of the
Minnesota National buard, johnson
was rapidly advanced until he was
commissioned its captain, q sommsnd
which he held fer seven YEAR,. He &C.
cured the nomination to tho state sen
ate and WAS elected by On overwheln-
Ing majority, which attracted the It.
tentIoa Of party leaders all through
the state.
When the time came to nominate
Democratic candidate for governor In
1904, the rank and file of the party
were discouraged. Tho state was
seemingly overwhelmingly Republic
can, and Thsodsss Roosevelt, the Re-
publican presidential adldate, was II
the zenith Of his popularity IN Mime
sota. The name OF Johnsos was sug-
gested to the Democratic conyen tiou
as good candidate for governor, and
the young editor was named to lead
the forIorn hope. 30 well did iie lead
II that. although the Republican ma
tional ticket swept he state, John A..
johnson was elected governor by
substantial plurality. His adminIstra
ton was peculiarly successful and he
wa reelected in 1908 and again last
fall

A JUDGES Explanation.

There's prominent judge living in
the rural districts of Virginia where
bath tubs are not to be found in every
hon e, who was the proud possesser OF
such luxury, which he allowed no
one to use One day he found that
some one else had been using the tub
and reaching the conclusion that it
could have been none other than the
housemaid, Mary, he snmmond her to
appear before him aud charged her
with having transgressed his .unwrit-
ten Law.
Mary confessed her fault, and the
Judge after enjoining her to sin no
more in this manner, forgave her. OBJ
serving that the maid seemed some
what hurt at the "calling down. which
he had tn us given her The judge by
way of softening the rebuke said;
at is not that / object to you uiing
nay tub Mary, but hate to think
that you would do anything behind
my back that you would not do tsfore
my face. - Richmqad Courier.

The damage suit Of Mrs. Miller vs.

on last Wednesday and the jury re-
turned verdict for $1,000. S. w.

F. w Brown and H. HI. Emmert the
defendant company. The defendant
demurred to the evidence and the court
took time to consider. This is probably
the highest verdict ever awarded for

Beef and Pork TO 90 up.

A general advance in the price OF
beef and pork is expected in accord
ance with the advance made by whole
sale dealers in Chicago. The advance
on the finer grades eff meat will be to
cents, and men familiar with the
meat trade expect the new prices to
take effect In few days.
Mr.. w. L. Coulbourn, manager for
Armour & Co., said that the advance
in prices was necessary on account OF
the high pricss for corn. Cattle ralsers,
he said, did not feed corn to the cattle
as formerly but turned them out to
Craze. The result, he declared is that
the finer grades of cattle are not to be
had IN as great number as last year,
