CHAPTER III.

|GHE crowd at Simmons general
store discuss politics as a gen.
eral thing, state and national
- politics in their seasons, but
county politics and local affairs al
ways. The question in Bayport that
summer, aside from that of the harbor
appropriation, was who should be
hired as downstairs teacher. Our
schoolhouse is two story building
with a schoolroom on each floor. The
lower room, where the little tots begin
with their ''c-a-t, cat" and progress
until they have mastered the Fourth
Reader, is called downstairs Up
stairs is, Of course, the second story,
where the older children are taught
To handle some of the big boys up
stairs is task for a healthy man, and
such a one usually fills the teachers
position there. Downstairs. being. in
theory at least, less strenuous, is pre-
sided over by woman.
Miss Seabury, who had been down
stairs teacher for one lively term, had
initiation. Her scholars had enjoyed
themselves and would have liked her
to continue, but the committee and
the townspeople thought otherwise
There was general feeling that en-
joyment was not the whole aim of
education.
+ There was a difference of opinion
concerning Miss Seabury's successor.
A portion of the townspeople were for
hiring a graduate of the state normal
school, young woman with modern
training. Others, remembering that
Miss Seabury had graduated from that
school, were for proved ability and
less up to date methods. These latter
had selected candidate in the person
of Miss Phoebe Dawes, d resident of
Wellmouth and teacher of the Well
mouth downstairs for some years.
The arguments at Simmons were hot
ones.
whats the use of hirin' somebody
from right next door to us, as you
might say?" demanded Alpheus Small
ley, clerk at the store. Don't we
want our teachin' to be abreast Of the
times, and is Wellmouth abreast of
anything?'
Its abreast of the bay, that's about
all will give in" replied Mr. Tidditt.
But the way l look at it we need
discipline more'n anything else, and
Phoebe Dawes has had the best disci-
pine in her school that's been known

senator-E Elect Guest Of Honor

senator-elect John Warren Davis was
| the guest of honor at a meeting arranged
| by the Democrats of Oldmans Township
in Red Mems Hall on Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Davis was met at the station on
| the arrival of the 7.20 train by a deIega-
| ton with hag-trimmed automobiles, red
| lights burning and band playing. After
| making a circuit of the town he was es-
| corted to the hall where the town
| people and those from other towns had
assembled. The hall previously decor
| ated with green's and bunting was packed
and certainly presented a very fine ap-
| pearance.
| The guest OF honor and other well
| known Democrats as well as Republicans
in the county occupied chairs on the
| platform. 1t was a non-partisan ~jollifca-
! ton over the election Of their friend.
William Burk, Chosen Freebooter and
| was master of ceremonies. Mr.. Clay
| Smith, q w~ell-known demonstrative Dem
a.at, was chairman and introduced the
| speakers the first of whom was
| Clayton Batten, Of Pennsville, chairman
| of the County Executive Committee.
| Mayor F. A. Gentieu and the Council
men, OF Penn's Grove, were present. He
| told how well he had been assisted the
| three years while Mr.. Davis had been
| solicitor of the Borough.
The others who were called upon un-
| expectedly by the chairman to make a
few remarks on Democratic victory were
James Sweeten, d. V. Summerill, Jr., w.
| A. w. Sailor, J.. X. Duffy, Rev. Q. ID.
l Dorlxo~ U Ii Knan r hr n prin-
ger, William and John Burk, L. A.
Denny, Albert and Warren Risner, and
| the old veteran Republican James Far
rington. Some bright and snappy re-
marks were made, all paying just tribute
to the SenatOr-elect.
Sheriff. ELECT John F. Ayres, and As
semblyman. elect Isaac c. Smick were UNI
able to be present, as expected.
The principal address was made by Mr..
Davis who was greeted with much ap-
plause, which showed his popularity.
He has a fine presence, winning manner
and can give grace and point to every ex-
4 preston. His speech was an able effort,
straight from the shoulder and expressed
in a highly interesting and delightful
manner.
Mr.. Davis ia a comparatively new man
in the political circles Of Salem county,
and has proved to be a very able ex-
FOUNDER of issues in such away as to win
votes. He thanked all for their support
at the recent election. He repeated the
pledges he gave before election to vote
and work for the repeal of the laws
which created the County Board of Taxa
ton, the Gunners' license and prohibit
ing catching of carp in September and
October. Gunners paid $2500 license fees
last year and only 5000 were paid for
game sent into the country. He consid-
cred the County Tax Board useless and
and a needless expense Of between $4,000
and SIS, 600 which goes into the pockets
of four men. He PROMISED to vote for all
good measures in the interest Of the
people and against bad ones whether in
troduced by either party.
Music followed the addresses and light
lunch was given all present.
This affair in Hightown was a %jollifca-
ton over the biggest Democratic victory
ever had in Salem County and will be an
important event in local history.
