The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1911-11-28

The loan exhibition of family heirloom
and historical relics. held at Moorestown
on Thursday and Friday, under the man
agement of the Burlington County His
toricsl Society, proved such success tina
1t will probably be repeated next year
Great interest was manifested In all parts
of the county, and many persons have
been stimulated to ransack their attics and
family papers, bringing to light numerous
articles Of value and interest which they
did not realize they possessed.
Probably no section Of the state is richer
in historic interest and tradition than Bur-
lington county and this is particularly true
of the country side about Moorestown,
Mount Holly and Burlington, occupied, as
! 1t Is, by descendants Of many of the
original settlers of the country; families
who have moved but a few miles from
their original grants of land, and ever
cherished, in spite of the years, the
records and traditions OF their line.
So much valuable material was offered
that the committee found itself obliged to
decline great many interesting objects
because of the limited capacity of the
hall. and the articles displayed, in most
instances, were the pick of the collections
of the various exhibitors.
A interesting catalogue was prepared,
containing the history and description of
the articles loaned. Some few objects
were entered by their owners too late to
be listed, but otherwise the catalogue was
complete.
The glass cases were crowded with
ancient deeds of great value, large dis
plays Of that nature being made by Fran
els B. Lee, of Vincentown; Henry P.
Thorn, of Medford; George G. Gillespie
and Asa M. Stackhouse, of Moorestown.
and several others. Rare autograph
letters of Washington, Franklin, John
Lawrence, and John Woolman were
shown. together with Indian deeds and
old maps. A colonial room, completely
furnished, was an interesting feature. A
collection of ancient coins, colonial cur
rency, old Bibles, among them the Evans
family Bishops Bible, printed In 1879,
and interesting Masonic papers were
among the choice objects. There was
large showing of Indian relics, and revo-
lutionary cannon balls and weapons.
One of the articles that attracted a great
deal of attention was the marriage certi-
ficate of Thomas Shackle and Alice
Stalles. The wedding occurred in Glouces-
ter county on December 20, 1886. This
certificate is probably the Oldest extant of
west New Jersey marriage. 1t was ex
hibited by DR.. Stackhouse.
Among those from Mount Holly who
loaned articles we're: Miss Mary v. Cam
pion, old china and samplers; Mrs. Charles
Il. Engle, newspapers and almanacs; Jo-
sephine E. Scattergood. Indian relics;
Henry @. Shinn, books, papers and silver
ware; William A. Slaughter, revolutionary
relics and colonial currency; James L.
Jamison, books; Mrs. Charles Fl. Folwell,

Up to date there are at least go candi-
dates for the Office of county commits
sioner.
If you want to watch political growth,
keep your eye on the Socialist party. In
this county in 1909. SO votes were polled.
In 1910. SO votes. In 1911, 1854 votes.
Another proposition ON the county col
lector situation is to give the Office to
Charles A. Rigg, and still another is that
William P. Lippincott would make good
official.
1t was confidently expected that Joseph
r. Sisom, one of Mount Holly's stalwart
Democrats, would be given the position
of deputy under Sheriff Jordan, but up to
date the expectations have not materialized.
There has not been any change in the
force at the sheriff's Office with the excep-
ton of the retirement OF Samuel K. Gas
kill. who has accepted position with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The subject of county collector is
bothering the members of the board of
freeholders. The latest on the question is
that Bobby" Peacock would like to have
the berth. In case Of his landing it has
been suggested that Harry Hawkins, Jr.,
be made auditor, and that Spencer H.
Powell, of Lumberton, be given the office
of clerk of the board. This arrangement
is not altogether agreeable to Mr.. Hawkins,
who would prefer to be the clerk. 1t will
be just as well, perhaps, If Bobby" keeps
the berth he was chosen to by such nice
majority.
In the figuring to show the strength and
weakness of the different parties as in
dictated by the last election, some have
taken the supposed growth of the local
option party, and have attempted to prove
that the increase has been enormous. OF
course the figures have been juggled to
meet the occasion. For instance, the
statement Is made that the average
majority of the White-Pine ticket, "when
local option was not an ISSUE" was 1908.
when this year 1t was cut to 400. In 1910
| tuC btoSCACub 0uOWS
Prohibition candidate, cut Whites
majority to 1887. All the credit for this
growth is given to local option" and the
fact that the Democrats voted for theiI
candidate, who twas an avowed local
option man, is lost sight Of According
to the statistician, local option did 1t all. Il
might be as well to look at this in differ
ent light. In one case the figures OF the
Prohibition candidate are taken as 6
sample, In the other the combined vote Of
Democrats and any one else who aided Il
given. Let's stick to the Prohibition vote
In 1909, the Assembly candidate received
500 votes;: coroner (Which is generally
good guide 49, In 1910, the Assembly
candidate, for some reason, ran away aheaC
of his ticket, and received 1885 votes
coroner, 257. In 1911, the Prohibition
party did not name an Assembly candi
date but the coroner received 1876 votes
These figures do not show such remark
able advance.

TEN THOUSAND FOR
SULIIVAN'S WIDOW

The $4,000 fund for the widow and
children of John 7. Sullivan, captain
of the Spokane police force, who was
killed by an unknown person, was
raised by the Spokane chamber OF
commerce in less than 36 hours. Sub
scriptions, ranging from S1100 to IL,
were received without personal solicit
tation but as the result Of letter
canvass Many business men Of the
city sent in expressions in favor OF
raising the fund In addition to en-
closing their checks for various
amounts. A widow, probably 70 years
of age, called at the chamber Of COM
merce rooms and gave a dollar. She
said It was only mite but she want
ed to give what she could. Another
subscription which aroused consider
able interest was one Of SO from the
japanese Commercial club.
The money is to be invested In trust
by the chamber OF commerce trustees
for the widow and children of Captain
Sullivan. They will thus have a per-
manent and regular income during
their entire lifetime.

that the click of the rails which has
lulled passengers to sleep since the
first locomotive pulled the first car
over jointed track is soon to dis
appear. BY clamping pieces of speci-
ally prepared creosoted wood between
the angle bars and the rails and draw
ing the nuts tight the sound is dead
ened. The device is patented under
what Is known as the weber Joint"
and a factory has been erected by the
railroad company to turn out the ne
cessary wooden pieces. Tests have
demonstrated that the device does the
work and 1t is stated that the pound
ing Of the wheels over the joints in
the rails will no more produce the
clickety-click which in the past has
been inseparably coupled with rail-
way traffic.
