$69,979.97

Towards this fund which Penn's Grove
gets a direct state school tax will be as
sessed. Last year it was So, 073. II. 1t
will be a few dollars more this year. The
balance comes from the receipts Of sales
of riparian rights, tax on railroads, and
$1S2,06 is from the interest on the sur
plus fund, a legacy from President An
drew Jackson's administration.
The appropriations is apportioned in as
many ways as the sources from which 1t
comes. 5000 is allowed for each super
vising principal, $500 for each teacher in
a four-year high school course, 5000 for
other teachers, 5000 for a school close and
pupils transported, $25 for each high
school pupil transferred, S. for a pupi
below the high school transferred.
While Penn's Grove needs more money
the schools will get less from the State
appropriation than for years. 1t is $162.0 3
less than in 1909, SPAS. 81 less than in
1908, and even $211.7 20 than in 1907,
when there were IL teachers. There are
IL teachers now besides the supervisor
and another will be needed next year.
That means a higher borough school tax.

Fish Hawk at Gloucester

The United States Fish Commission
steamer Fish Hawk arrived at Gloucester
City, last Friday, from Woods Hole,
Mass, where it will engage in the
shad Matching business until the end
of the shad season. The commanding
officer is Captain William Martin, who
succeeded Captain James Smith, who
was commander for rs years. The ex-
~ecutive officer is J.. O'Brien, medical
officer ]. D. Milligan and chief engineer
j. H. Marshall.
The Fish Hawk has come to the Della
ware river for many years until four years
ago and engaged in the shad Matching
business and Matched out from rs, 1000, 900
to 1925, OOO, 900 of young shad each year
and deposited them in the Delaware and
other waters. The season started to go
back several years ago and the industry
did not pay. Four years ago the Fish
Commission at Washington decided not
to send the steamer up the Delaware and
used it for experimenting purposes in
stead. One year later, however, the
shad Matching industry was tried at
North Carolina, but it was a failure. Last
year the steamer was engaged in making
an oyster survey in the James river. The
commission this year decided to make
another trialin the shad Matching indus
try and sent the steamer here.

Fishing Notes

The biggest run of shad of the season
arrived last Monday i'll Delaware river
and bay.
On Tuesday there were good catches,
several getting more than 100.
The catch off Penn's Grove was from
100 to 200 shad to a net. Those who had
big catches we're: John Dolbow, Jr., 100:
Henry Hates 112. Rob Harbeson and J.H.
Smith zO2, Henry Shape and Hoover Mum
yam 1874, Lew Fisher and VIM. Gibbs l29,

2O5, David and John Stanton Us, Doc
and Bent Dolbow 200, Lew Strengthen
and John Simkins 246, Edw. Justice 1913,
Harry Vandergriff caught a ten-pounder.
Postmaster T. E. Hunt had more than
1000 piled on the end of the wharf, which
made a scene like that of former years.
He shipped nearly fifty barrels.
Ammon Gibbs caught a sturgeon on
Tuesday which was worth $40.
The cold northwest wind on Wednes-
day and Thursday kept many from fish
ing. Those who yentured out got from
10 to so.
The wholesale price on Monday was
$22.5 so, advancing to $3S on Thursday.
The catch in the Bay OIL Monday was
big-from $50 to $50 to a net. Denny
Brothers had a tug and scow to take the
fish from Pennsville, while the Numsen
got those from down the Bay. They
took about 20, 600 to Philadelphia. Tues
day about 10, 600 went, and only 5000 on
Wednesday.
Bedford G. Wood caught the first two
big surgeons in a sturgeon net at Bay
Side on Tuesday.
The big net at Washington Park caught
about 800 slad in four hauls last Monday.
The oldest fishermen in the %neighbor-
hood of Easton, Pa, can not recall tie
time when so many large shad have been
taken from the Delaware river in that
section as have seined during the past
week. To-day there were a 100 shad,
averaging seven pounds in weight, taken
from the stream at the Getter Island
Fishery.
Seldom have there been larger catches
OF shad in the Chesapeake Bay than this
year, according to some OF the Oldest
fishermen. State Fish Commissioner Nc
Donald Lee, Of Virginia, says he never
saw SO many shad in one season in all his
life. He declares that the fish are SO
plentiful that in some places in the James
river he saw as many as 1000 OH a wharf
and the poor people were given the fish
free.
Fishermen at Ocean View gave away
hundie eds of shad to to the poor and the
Norfolk, Va, markets are 30 tull that a
milt shad cal be bought for 10 cents and
a roe shad for 80 cents.

NEW JERSEYS GOOD ROADS PRAISED
Salem County CompIimented

AT the quarterly meeting OF the Salem
Comfy Board of Agriculture, i'll WOODS
town on April goth, Fred F. Smith, Pres
ident of Good Roads Association, Bridge
ton, was the only speaker on the program
who was present. He gave an excellent
talk on Good Roads in a very able man.
ner. illustrating his talk by the black
board, maps and Photographic views.
Mr.. Smith in his Introductory remarks
paid Salem county the compliment oil
having the best roads in the State Win
the exception of the most expensive ones
in northern New Jersey. He named the
yarious kinds OF roads used i'll the world
and their composition. The slab stone Is
used along the Nile river in Egypt. The
cobblestone road is we'll known IN Phila-
deIphia. The broken stone road, which
is found principally above Trenton is
usually best Of all when properly built.
Coral rock road, the road i'll the West
India Islands, is the most perfect road III
the world, being porous, elastic, dry ana
never dusty, as the nightly rains OF that
section filter through Immediately. The
oyster shell road, of which more is found
in Salem county than anywhere, Is also
nsed in Maine and Savannah. 1t is noted
for it's dust in the summer and its white
wash mud in the wet season.. This road
cost the county $9S per mile to keep 1t IN
repair last year. Gumbo roads are used
extensively in the west and the pine-leaf
road in Florida. The sand and oil roads
of California are a wonder as they are
waterproof. The glass roads OF Germany
are magnificent and will never wear out.
In addition to these, there are saw-dust
and clay roads, cement, asphalt, steel,
wooden block, State roads, township
roads, and roads of good intentions.
Bricks are being used for suburban roads.
Only one plank road survives in North
Jersey.
Camden, Gloucester and Burlington
counties lave been ruined by building
expensive cement roads, which have not
been able to stand the heavy carting and
high speeding of automobiles and conse-
o~uently it is necessary to give these roads
a top dressing.
Mr.. Smith said that water is the great
est enemy to any good road: snO also is
a great detriment. Keep the bitches
clean so that the water can not soak into
the road. Keeping the road dry will
prevent frost i'll the winter.
Scrape often. He advocated using the
log instead of the drag scraper.
Iu many places conyicts and the aims
house inmates furnish the help necessary
to keep the roads i'll good shape. The
overseer OF the roads should be- a person
who makes a study of the work II
knows what proportions of gravel, sand,
clay or other ingredients are required for
each particular section.
Flowing in the turf is not a remedy Tor
the troubles Of the ordinary roads. Have
instead a good surveyor to decide whether
there is a place where the water can be
| carried away and an engineer to boss the
| work. DON'T be afraid to have your taxes
increased.
Good roads are the farmers bread and
| butter and the automobiles pleasure.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Editor of The Dawson News: 1.-THE
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der" should be the motive prompting
every patriotic Georgian in the con-
sideration of vital issues pressing for
solution. Not from the viewpoint
Of commercial gain, political adj
vancement or other selfish reasons
should the matter of compulsory ed
ucation be settled. Everything
touching child-life demands the best
thought of statesmen who plan, not
alone for the present but for the
future prosperity of our beloved
southland, and the well-being of the
masses of our people. We all share
in the responsibility involved in the
proper settlement of this great ques-
ton, and we dare not put it aside
because of the grave problem it
presents. 1t is certainly true that
"a question is never settled until
it is settled right" and loyal Geor-
gians have food for thought before
the assembling of our lawmakers,
who will have for consideration the
compulsory education bill, in which
is embodied the following:
That every child between the ages
of 8 and IA shall attend school at
least sixteen weeks each year, save
in the following cases:
1. Where the child is mentally
or physically unfit.
2. Where the child lives more
than two miles away from the near
est school,
8. Where for valid reasons
which must be specified the child is
furnished a written excuse signed by
the county school commissioner and
at least one member of the county
board Of education
That any parent who violates this
law shall be judged guilty of a mis-
demeanOr and shall be punishable
by fine or prisonment, one or both.
What is the duty of the hour?
Answer, citizens of Terrell coun-
ty, as though it were your own boy
or girl whose fate hangs in the bal
ance. Respectfully, T..

A GREAT CONTEST IN CHICAGO.

1t is the unexpected that happens
sometimes, for example local option
election in Cook county, Illinois, and
the city of Chicago. Of all cities in
the land Chicago is one of the last
where such a contest would be ex-
pected-a real, red hot, face to face,
knife to the hilt local option election
just like we use to have in Georgia
sometimes. We would have sooner
expected such contest in Savannah
or Atlanta before the statutory
drouth settled over Georgia. But
it is on in Chicago, and will be
fought to a finish, eliminating
in April, and the whole country is
looking on with interest. PRO"
leaders say if their people can win
in Chicago they can tackle any
stronghold of John Barleycorn, and
the "antis' say if Chicago can be
voted dry no place is secure, and thus
it is that the eye of the country,
"prohi" and anti" is fastened on
the Windy City by the Great Lake,
eager to see how the fight will ter
inmate. Chicago is virtually Cook
county, ILL.,, and the voters Gf all
were to vote) number perhaps $780,
000 1t is the dry" element who
are bringing on the election. They say
they have a good chance to drive
every saloon from the great city.
But the 'anti" leaders say they have
absolutely no reason to fear that Chi
cago will go dry" 1t is noted
though, that both sides have mar
shaded all their forces for this fight,
raised big sums of money, and it is
evidently going to be a historic strug-
gle with probable far-reaching ten
denotes and results.

LOVERS LANE.

In April, when the moon is full,
How many a dress of bright delaine
Goes arm in arm with some dark coat
Along the woods by Lovers Lane!
The newly-plighted farthest roam
And latest in the wood remain;
But brides and bridegrooms seldom
leave
The homeward end Of Lovers Lane.
Sometimes a troop of children stray
And follow in their parents train,
To pick the sweet anemones
That grow so thick in Lovers Lane.
Sometimes a lady walks alone,
With head inclined, as if again
She heard voice to us unknown;
(She seems at home in Lovers
Lane.)
A stranger, banished long ago
From this green path, forgives his
pain,
And sends little prayer to heaven
For all who walk in Lovers Lane.

BETTER BEGIN NOW.
n the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
When will the campaign in the
counties for registration begin?
Are the patriotic, well-posted, up
to-date people of Georgia going to
sit still and see 40 per cent. of the
white voters of Georgia DISTINGUISHED
through the carelessness of their
own?
One of the most prominent bust
ness men in Bib county said day
or two ago: II declare, I have not
registered! 1t was not convenient
for me to go round before the tax
books closed, and 1 sent my check
for my taxes"
There you are. 1t is not only the
poll taxer, but others are to be dis
franchised. The busy business man,
the wage Garner, the salaried man,
the laborer, the farmer.
This six-months-before law is go
ing to disfranchise thousands of hon
est, intelligent citizens.
