DON'T NEED A
HIGH SCHOOL
South Amboy's Plans for
Bend Issue Censured.
South Amboy. April IL, 1911

South Amboy, April II, 1911.
EDITOR EVENING JEWS:
The one subject that seems to be
uppermost in the minds of all the
citizens at the present time is the
proposed new high school and the
question that is being asked on all
sides is: Do you think the common
council OF the city will approve of
any such an expenditure in view of
the present condition of affairs?
Candidly We do not think SO for the
reason that we believe the 1embers
of the council have the interest of
their constituents too much at heart
and understand the conditions too
we'll to be a party to the imposition
Of any such hardship as a new high
school would impose.
The last tax rate, 1t is generally
conceded, was much too low, notwith-
standing the fact that considerable
railroad tax were received by the
city. Conservative people predict
that the tax rate this year will ad-
vance greatly over the previous n
and to further bond the town to the
extent of eighty-five thousand dol
lars would quite likely result in the
rate exceeding S2.GG as against Si.50
last year.
In addition to the increased tax on
sewer bonds there is to be put into
effect a compulsory sewer connection
ordinance which win involve at least
fifty dollars outlay for each property
owner, and when the unsettled n
dition of the town Is taken into con-
sideration. also the fact that the
laboring people who have little
homes and are trying to pay for same
are making very poor time on the
coal docks with the prospect of less
work, We cannot see how the council
could Justly approve of this large eX-
penditure at this time.
Another feature which may not
have occurred to some is the erect
an increased tax rate has upon the
Building Loan. AS we understand
it the taxes on all properties in the
loan are pooled and become a gener-
al expense so that those holding
shares who have not borrowed on
same must feel the effect of a high
tax rate as it will take hat much
longer for the shares to mature. 1t
will therefore be noted that this bond
issue would have a far reaching re-
suit.
We believe in public schools and
think they are a credit to any city,
but the Board of Education should
not permit their enthusiasm to get
the better of their heretofore sound
judgment.
Some of the board have intimated
that unless requisite quarters are
provided there is a likelihood of
state funds being withheld. We do
not understand that requisite quar-
tiers mean an elaborate school build
Ing Tar beyond present or near iuture
necessities. We would suggest that
the board TURF their attention toward
having the architects preparing plans
for a suitable wing or addition to
school No. / to meet the REQUIRE
ments of the near future and not
place the council of the city in the
position of having t o turn down their
Recommendations in order to do jus
tice to the people at large Is the
opinion of a
CITIZEN.

The attention of the Times Recorder called to the fact that
some owners of lands would all probability improve their proper
by the erection of suitable dwellings for renting purposes
possbefor them to sewerage connections.
Deprived of the opportunity with the house drainage
sym and realizing that inability to do this decided barrier to
successful renting houses these parties defer improvements until
such the authorities enabled push plans of this char
acter and give the the further improvements requires along
this line.
This of prime Importance If the city growth is to be
ampeed by absence OF extension the sewerage SYSTEM then
the the people get together and provide the

true that time bond for an extension of the
and water system voted down. 1t not
recall readers why this happened But there is every reason to
believe that were these two bond issues presented alone standing en-
rey their merits unhampeed by side ISSUE triumphant vote
would be for them and the work of improvement could be nhe
vigorously and completed before the present year has passed
into history.
Mayor Mathis has already given evidence of determination on
his part to take hold OF the situation locally with firm grasp and exert
himself every way to make Americas cleaner healthier better
town than has BEEN high though reputation has ALWAYS been
along those lines In this he has the backing not only of Council but
public sentiment that becoming united for Americas every
day. 1t he and his board present this bond issue for wafer
and extension to the people this there no reason
feel that there will not be most gratifying evidence of approval
1t unquehonably true that several directions The 1eveon

GROWING RICH DESPITE THE
BOIL WEEVIL.

In an article a few days ago, the
New Orleans States called attention
to the success of the farmers of Lin
coin parish in the cultivation of pea
nuts, and noted with satisfaction the
establishment of a packery at Natchez
as calculated to give decided impetus
to hog-raising in North Louisiana. 1t
suggested that the boil weevil was
responsible for these evidences of
practical diversifcation.
The Shreveport Times reproduced
the remarks and then told of the eX-
peHence of a Red river planter whom
the weevil has converted. Says the
Times
The Times knows of one Red river
planter who has abandoned cotton
altogether and there are probably
others.
This planter is devoting his entire
attention to hogs, corn, peanuts, al
falfa and potatoes this year. He plant
ed some cotton last year, but says
there is more money in the other
crops, Notwithstanding the high price
OF cotton.
Northwest Louisiana is in better
condition than for four or five years,
due partly, of course, to the good price
which cotton has brought, but also
to the fact that the people are learn
ing to live at home and are diversi-
flying"
Another excellent sign of the revo-
luton in progress in North Louisiana
is the fact that outside capital is be-
ginning to invest in its lands with the
idea of cutting them up into medium
sized farms and disposing of them to
practical farmers from other states.
Recently an immense plantation in
Red river, long devoted to the cultiva
ton of cotton, was sold to investors
living outside of Louisiana. 1t is to re
parceled into tracts and, we believe,
the new owners have already made
arrangements to colonize them. Lands
have also been sold in Natchitoches
and in some of the parishes further
east
The sale of these lands to small far
mers means, of course, a curtailment
OF the cotton acreage. When the Wee
vii disappears cotton will again be
cultivated in considerable quantities
in North Louisiana; but it will no
longer be an exclusive crop. When
that time comes the native will have
thoroughly learned his lesson of di-
yersification The practical farmer
from the outside will not have to be
t1Ief that the fundamental thing is TO
make his farm self-sustaining. The
result will be that there will not be
repetition of the conditions in North
Louisiana which followed the destruct-
i've work of the weevil.

OUR SUMTER COUNTY DEVELOP
MENT EDITION.

In order to make the proposed Sum
ter County Development Edition OF
the Times-Recorder the success il
should be, to have it carry to the
world full picture of the progress
that has been made in this section
and the opportunities that are open
here for the home-seeker and the in.
vestor, it is necessary that the paper
have the hearty cooperation of the
business men of the city and county
dealing with the various phases of de-
yelopment and in the placing before
the world through their advertise
ments of the salient facts of their pri-
vate business enterprises
The Times-Recorder intends to make
this definitive edition, an issue that
will be complete in it's presentation OF
conditions as they are and as they will
be. Naturally there is a heavy ex-
pense involved, but the benefits ac-
cruing to the city and the county, and
to the individual patrons of the paper
will amply justify the outlay of time
energy and money in its preparation.
1t has been some years since Ameri-
Gus has had an issue of this character
many years, in fact since one was I'M
dertaken on as broad and COM
prehensive scale as this one will be.
More the reason, then, why it should
have the sympathy and active assist
ance of our people in making it the
success it is entitled to be.
An issue of this character is not an
individual work. 1t typifies the enter
prise, the progressive public spirit of
the eltire community. Without the sup
port of the community it would not be
possible to send it to the world.
Do your part toward making This
Development Edition thoroughly rem
resentative and you can be assured
that the Times-Recorder will do it's fuII
share.

MY OLD SHAKER BONNET.

G.aura Sheldon in New York Times)
Today, as l stood on the street for a
minute
Observing the new-fangled headgear
go by,
i noticed one hat with girls head
within it
That carried me back to the past
with a sigh,
/ thought of my childhood's inordinate
passion
For wearing the latest in bonnet and
gown
How, month after month, just to be IN
the fashion,
| stuck to an old Shaker bonnet of
brown.
A tight-ftting bonnet with nothing
upon it
That covered my head from the nape
to the crown.
Today it's 'stoye pipe" bowl or a
basket
Hauled over to rest on the bridge Of
her nose;
A few yards of yelling to soften or
maSQue it,
A big jeweled hatpin, feather or
rose
it covers her forehead, her hair, and
her forehead;
1t smoothers her ears like that bon
net of yore,
Which now in the old cedar trunk lies
and molders-
A relic of style that I used to adore
The old Shaker bonnet with nothing
upon it
/ bought for a dime at the grocery
store.

The Nashville Tennesseean writes a
long editorial on why do men kill
each other?' Well, in Georgia we
should say the chief reason is that they
know-if they are white that they
will not be hanged, that the chances
are they will not go to the peniten-
tiary, and that if they do they will not
have to serve more than a small part
of their time. Murder is about the
cheapest crime we have in some parts
of Georgia.

split up a large tract of Sumter county
land into small farms, with small
dwellings on them, There is a great

filled up with white farmers inside of
