Delegation Visits Trenton

A delegation of Five Mile Beach resi-
dents and property owners went to
Trenton on Tuesday for the purpose of
urging Governor Fort and other state
officials TO use their influence to have
the work of the dredging for the inland
waterway continued. Senator Hand
introduced the party to the Governor,
who shook hands with his visitors and
said: mo living man is more interest
ed In this great public improvement
than l am, and I will do all in my
power to grant your request. I have
taken up the matter with the Attorney
General and will do all in my power to
continue the dredging" 1t seems that
the appropriation made by the state for
the dredging is about exhausted and
State Inland Water way Commissioner
Schneider was about to telegraph to
the contractors to stop work when he
was constrained by the Governor in
the presence of the delegation. The
dredge commenced its work at Cold
Spring Inlet last fall and has been
working northward until now 1t has
reached the Holly Beach bridge. The
visitors showed the Governor that the
dredge had now reached a point off
Holly Beach where the water was the
shallewest of the entire route from
Cape May to Ocean City and that with
an expenditure of only $4,000 o
this place could be dredged out in a
few weeks and there would be a depth
of water sufficient enough to carry an
ordinary boat on a single tide from
Cape May to Ocean City. The Cover
nor saw the situation very clearly and
his visitors left him with the convic-
ton that a way would be found to
have the work continued. The men,
bers of the party were Henry H.
Ottens, former Judge Harrison HI.
Voorhees,, former SheriffW. H. Bright,
former Councilman FL. B. Woolston,
John T. O'Neill, William e. Gibson,

BY RAILROAD FIGURES.
Trade Organizations Prove That
Freight Rates Are High Enough.

Cincinnati, Oct. 19.-Representa-
tives of trade organizations from ST.
Louis, Pittsburg, Chicago, Indiana
polls, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo.
Cincinnati, Richmond, Va, Evans
vile, Terre Haute and other western
cities are holding a meeting here to-
day to make q protest against what
they declare is a campaign on the
part of the railroads for a general adj
vance in freight rates.
The meeting follows a preliminary
conference, held a week ago in this
city, attended by representatives of
trade organizations of several cities.
The object is to combat the arguments
for higher freight rates as made in
a pamphlet recently issued by the
chairman of the Trunk Line associa-
ton.
This pamphlet, in short, makes the
argument that the purchasing power
of railway earnings is less now than
in 1897, and that therefore freight
rates should be advanced at least 10
per cent.
The trade organizations aver that
the carriers sworn statements to the
interstate commerce commission
prove conclusively that there is no
need for a reduction in wages, and
that the true basis of comparison of
railroad operations is net financial re-
suits. On this basis it is declared that
the carriers sworn statistics show the
following:
Net income for all railroads in the
United States for 1907 was $449, AL
1873; for 1897 it was 81,257,506. Ex-
cess 1907 over 1897 is $368, 203,682, an
increase of 453 per cent.

NERVOUS WOMEN
Need Just This Tonic Treat.
ment to Build Them Up.

The first thing to do when threatened
with nervous trouble is to stop the cause
of it, if possible, whether it is irregular
living, worry, or whatever it may be.
Then the nerves must be given special
nourishment and the blood must be kept
pure and rich. This is the mission of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and this is why
the pills have been used with such great
success in nervous trouble that did not
yield to ordinary methods of treatment.
These pills are a tonic for both men
and women but are especially adapted
for girls and women of all ages, and give
just the aid required to bring back
health and strength to the nervous and
exhausted as is shown by the experience
of Mrs. r. P. Taylor, of Oakland, Kans.
She says:
