MARITIME IS
ELECTED TO-DAY
Will Be Chosen in Joint
Assembly.
THE VOTE YESTERDAY
Stokes Gets Nearly All Republican
V0te-Nichols Makes Bitter
Speech Assailing Him.

James H. MARITIME will today, in
joint assembly, be elected United
States Senator by the Democratic leg
islature. His vote will be unanimous
so far as the Democrats are con-
cerned. James M. Smith, the Demo-
cratic boss, bowed to the inevitable
yesterday after the Senate and House
had voted separately upon the Sena-
torship. Giving Governor Wilson all
the credit for his defeat, former Sen
ator Smith issued this statement:
I'm view of the preponderance of
legislative favor for Governor Wilson's
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, | feel that I should not longer
stay the consummation of the Execu-
tive's purpose.
In reaching this conclusion l am
influenced by two reasons My re-
gard for the feelings of the loyal
men who still give me their SUPPORT
in spite of the indignities to which
they are being subjected and my un-
| willingness to stand longer in the
way of plans which the new friends of
my old party are so industriousiy for
| mulating.
81 have been long time in the
ranks of Democracy. 1t has always
had my loyalty and best wishes. 1t
will continue to have them in the fu-
ture, however far from the front l
may be battling. l would like to be-
iieys that under the guidance of re-
| cently-assumed ambitious leadership.
the old party may not depart from it's
former standards, nor repel the allegi-
ance of the faithful ones who have
shown the same loyalty in adversity
and success, but my mind is not free
from forboding.
"As l lay aside my candidacy for
Senatorial honors, releasing those
who have been faithful to me and
pledging them my lifelong gratitude
my sincere wish is that the Democrat
ic party may retain the confidence of
the people; that it may hold to its
close union with the masses, and that
greater triumphs in the State and ma
tiOn await it,

CHARGED WITH
STEALING RATS
Defendants Before Justice
Lore.

The larceny of muskrats is becoming
as great tangle as the Illegal
dredging of oysters, and the larceny
is largely carried on in Stoe Creek
township. just as the oyster troubles
come from the lower end of the
county.
A year or two ago some men and
boys by the name of Hymer were in
dicted by the Grand Jury for rat
poaching, and yesterday afternoon
there were others of the same name
from Stoe Creek, hailed befcre Justice
Frank J. Lore on the same charge,
with an additional charge of assault
and battery in one case.
Justice Lore little office was packed
and jammed with crowd of people at
the hearing either as witnesses or
spectators. They we're friends of one
side or the other.
The defendants were John Hymer,
Abner Hymer, William Hymer. Isaec
Hymer and John Hymer. Jr.
The plaintiffs were David Boley,
who charged the Hymers with the
larceny of muskrats or rather, when
boiled down-to trapping rats on the
marsh which he rented for trapping
purposes; and Thomas Headlev, who
charged John Hymer, ST., William
Hymer and Isaac Hymer with the
larceny of rats from his rented marsh;
he alsD charged John Hymer, Sr.. with
assault and battery.
John Hymer, sr. and his bows were
represented by George Ebner in the
casa where Boley was The plaintiff.
Boley testified that he leased the
marsh from Mr.. Mulford for trapping
for rats and the Hymers had trapped
on his rented premises. He claimed
his tenantcy did not expire until
January 1st, 1911, while the receipt for
the rental which was pEid last
February. which specified for the
balance of the season. He ad-
mitted trappers generally stopped
rafting in April.
Albert Stanger represented John
Hymer. JI.. in Thomas Headley o
charge against him for assault and
battery. 1t was shown that Headley
had received damaged eye. and that
John Hymer gave it to him. Headley
testified that John came down a
cussin' an swearin' rippn' an
tearin,' and there was a mixup, in
which, however, Headley had inflicted
the first blow.
Rex A. Donnelly represented the
Hymers against Headley in the charge
of the larceny of the rats.
In this case-like the others. the
evidence was not at all clear in fact
it was much tangled. and the Justice
wisely concluded the best way out
was TO continue the cases until Feb.
7th and put all hands under bail to
keep the peace toward each other.
The cases were therefore, continued
until that date. recognizances being
| furnished.
Headley had rented his trapping
marshes of the late Captain Charles
Miller and there we're copious descrip-
tive maps presented in evidence as the
location of the grounds.

ABSENT .................. l
When the vote was taken in the Sen
ate, Senator Hand voted for Stokes,
but before the vote was announced,
he changed to John Kean. He ex-
planned that he had understood that
Kean wanted his name presented and
in that event he should vote for him.
Senator Nichols, of Cumberland,
made most vindictive speech when
he placed the name of former Cover
nor Fort before the Senate. He made
this nomination a vehicle to carry a
TRADE of abuse for former Governor
Stokes, of this County In its report
of the session, the Newark News
says:
Senator Nichols in voting for Fort
tional provision which gave to each
legislator the right to vote for whom
ever he thought best fitted for the
place and that he did not feel under
obligations to stand by the result of
a preferential vote made under a
shifty direct primary law. He made
long speech, thus contributing the
only oratory to the occasion.
Senator Nichols declared that when
the preferential law was passed in
1907, Stokes had characterized it as a
| farce and fake He said also that
! Stokes, in spite of the fact that he
| (Nichols) had received the Republi-
can vote for the State Senatorial NOM
ination at the primary in Cumberland
/ County, had used his influence tc
bring about the election of the Demo
cratic nominee on election day.
al was the choice of the direct
! primary he said, and if his course
had been true, his allegiance would
have been to me. But b. hook o.
crook they reduced that splendid vote
got two years ago.
Senator Nichols declared thai
Stokes was not the best man whom
the Republicans could name He re
ferred to him as 'undeserving, un
worthy and unfit.
The New York Tribune report says
"Mr. Nichols and the former CIV
ernor are bitter political enemies
and the Cumberland Senator, in {
long speech, endeavored to justify hi!
reputation of the primary vote. Mr.
| Nichols stand, however, did not ap
| peal very strongly to his fellow Sena-
tors, one of whom pointed out after
! the vote had been taken that az
Senator Nichols had professed his be
| lief in open primaries and had intro
| duced two bills in the present Senate

were elected in an anti-Stokes move

for Stokes. 1t was said last night in

If we cant drive the fellow out, by George, we'll staive him out, said the managers of the diamond mines thanson, the notorious buyer of illicit diamonds, was back again from exile, ubiquitous and smiling and evidently prosperous.
 Nathanson's first move was to pur- chase some waste land adjoining the Phoenix and to set up native store Therein were displayed goods cal culated to drag the money from the native iaborers' pockets-blankets, beads. mirrors, hair oil, canned foods, glass ieWels-all the miscellany of the trade And thither Aocked the natives of the Phoenix mines, to the detriment of the company's own store.
 Native laborers in South Africa are recruited from the interior villages by contractors. They work for year or more and then return. to purchase wives from fathers of daughters with their accumulated savings, thencefor- ward to exist in idleness while the women work for them But a good portion of the natives earnings is spent in the stores.
 At once furious competition broke out between Nathanson and the com pany Prices were cut be.ow whole sale: the company's purse was longer and gradually Nathanson's patronage fell away; bankruptcy menaced him Kimberly surmised that he was at his wits end; yet knowing Nathan son, they waited in anticipation oi Eome coup

Fifty stamps entitle the holder to the selection of T wife among Nathanson's newly ar rived stock. For such as desire it, the ceremony will be performed free of cost by a colored clergyman
 This attraction proved irresistible. In vain the manager of the Phoenix Invoked the law against slavery. Ma thanson, still smiling, offered liberty and free passage home to all the girls who desired it. Not one ac- ,epted, Why should they relinquish life of luxury, with food and quar- 'ers free!

 No more hoarding of shillings for he lative laborers! They flung away heir money like prodigals, secure in he knowledge that brides would thus iccrue to them. The race was close, but by the end of six months a dozen ,f tho Phoenix laborers, mostly old, thrifty men, were running neck-and- aeck for the fftieth red trading stamp.
 The last pay day arrived; twelve proud and happy laborers, each with fifty red trading stamps, marched in body to the church, where an enor- nous throng had collected to see ;welve weddings performed simul- .aneously by the Rev Ezekiel Brown ,f the African Baptist congregation.
