intent would convert it into an instrd-'
ment of injustice.
This country belongs to the people
"the old parties have become the tools
of corrupt interests who use them i'm
partially to serve their selfish pur-
poses" and that the new party offers
itself as the instrument of the people
"to sweep away old abuses, to build a
new and nobler commonwealth"
Declares under the heading The Rule

CIGAR STORE
WAS ROBBED
Burglars Enter Warren K.
Pierce's Place.
$500 CIGARS TAKEN
Jefferson Street Store Was Entered
Last Night and Goods
Carried Off.

Warren K. Pierce's cigar store and
pool room, on Jefferson street, was
broken into last night and about 25OO
cigars, some packages of cigarettes and
some tobacco was taken.
The thieves broke panel out of the
door III the rear, next to Brewster IS
blacksmith shop, and by this means
the door was unbolted ana entrance
was easy.
1t looks as if the thieves must have
had conveyance. of some sort to carry
away SO much loot, though it might
have been taken away in sacks.
When the store was opened this
morning the light which is always
lett burning all night was found t.
have been turned off Neither the
cash register nor the safe had Eeen
disturbed, and no money was taken.
There is no clue discoverable to lead
to suspicion, and nothing to leave 8
guess as to who were the burglars.
Police Officer Smith Investigated the
burglary and made list of what il
known to be missing.

PEANUTS AND
WATER ON TRIP

Young Charles Weber, soda water
dispenser at T. H. Woodruff's phar-
macy, with Ellis Anderson, went down
to Fortescue on Monday in a motor
boat The young men had some ex-
perience. Considerable preparation
had been made for the trip. A big
lunch was prepared and the we'll filled
baskets had been left at the B. A. A.
rooms for a while. The boys got off
well, the luncheon baskets aboard, and
everything proceeded smoothly until
hunger struck Weber and Anderson
just abaft the bread line. Then the
baskets were opened. There was mixed
surprise and indignation. The sub
stantial luncheon had all been re-
moved by some practical jokers, and
substituted was a plentiful supply of
peanuts. Nothing but peanuts and
water. The boys cracked the nuts and
munched the kernels. That produced
an awful thirst and water was plenti-
fully used. Peanuts after time be-
came a joke. Then they became
nauseous. 1t really was serious and
when Weber and Anderson reached
Fortescue they were ready to eat jelly
fish or any other old thing that hap
pened along.

NEW ORDER
DOES NOT PLEASE

Under orders issued by Superintend-
ent Buckaleau, of the West Jersey and
Seashore Railroad Company, ferry
boats hereafter must not be held at
the Camden terminal for incoming
train passengers, even when such
boat is advertised to connect with
the train.
AS result, the gates to boats ad-
vertised to take passengers from GER
tain trains are often closed in the
faces of the passengers.
In many instances every day the
gates are closed while the passengers
are boarding the boats, SO that some
are compelled to remainsuntil,the next
boat, and parties and families are thus
divided.
The boats run so close during the
greater part of the day that this
means but a four-minute delay, but
in the evenings the same order is6 in
effect, and every night trainloads" of
passengers see the gates closed and
are delayed ten minutes.
To those who have train connections
to make in Philadelphia, this is often
serious. When the boats are running
ten minutes apart the delay of amin
ute or two will not interfere with the
schedule, and that part of the leave
on the dot order the night passengers
want rescinded. II
Some time ago a bell notified the
ferry hands when a train was entering
the station, and boats advertised for
such train was held. bat the plan has
been done away with.

OLD FARM
PAYS WELL NOW

Burlington, N. j., July 27.-What
can be accomplished when brains are
mixed with the soil Of New Jersey
farmland has been demonstrated in a
remarkable manner on the old Slack
farm, on the Mount Holly road, near
this CITY, A few years ago this farm
of 300 acres sold for $4,000; last
spring, the owner, declaring the
ground was Worn out and that it
would take five years to bring it into
condition again, sold the place for
$11, 900.
The purchaser, Charles Jeffries, of
Plainsboro, put young superintend-
ent in charge, and with modern meth
DDS of cultivation and fertilizing,
practically the whole place was plant
ed in potatoes. They began harvest
ing the crop this week and the worn
out" ground is turning out an average
of over 300 bushels to the acre of
the largest Irish Cobbler potatoes
found in the vicinity. The income
from the crop will nearly pay for the

CARS RUN TO THE
M|[lVIL[E DEPOT
A Great Accommodation for
the Public.
TRAIN CONNECTIONS
Br1dgeton & Millville Traction Com
pany Trains Will Go on to
Millville Station.

Shortly after the first of September
the cars of the Bridgeton and Mill
vile Traction Company will make
through trips from the Hotel Cum
berland in this city, to the West Jer-
sey and Seashore Railroad station on
High street in Millville.
For some time negotiations have
been pending between the Bridgeton
and Milville Traction Company Off
Gals and the officers of the Millville
Traction Company, looking to an
agreement whereby the pike cars
could cross the Main street bridge,
Millyille and use the Millville tracks
from the bridge to the depot. An
| agreement was reached and in a month
the public will have the accommoda-
tions and conveniences thus afforded.
The two companies make an ex-
change of privileges. The Bridgeton
and Millville Company cars will make
the station the Millville terminal while
| the local cars of the Millville Company
will cross the bridge operating a local
service over the bridge and eastward
to Mt Pleasnt. 1t may be that the
MillVille Company will finally build
a loop about Sharp street
| Work is now in progress upon the
necessary turnouts and switches, and
the Millville Company will at once
strengthen the Main street bridge ant
put Gown the rails. The work vii
proceed under authority of an ordi
nance granted by, the Board of Free
holders several years ago.
The accommodation to the people
who go back and forth upon the pike
cars will be appreciated. Particular!
advantageous will be the arrangement
to the many people who use the sea
shore trains. Likewise all that par
Of Millville east of the Maurice rivel
will have greatly improved local ser
vice.

GETTING READY
ALCYON FAIR

Clarksboro, N. j., July 30.-Farmers
are hurrying along their potato dig
ging these days in order to be ready
for the nineteenth annual picnic of
the Gloucester County Pomona Grange
which will be held at Alcyon Park,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
next week. Arrangements for the big
gathering have been completed by the
G. w. F. Gaunt, state master of the
grange, of Mullica Hill, and William
H. Hoffman, of Clarksboro
Machinery manufacturers have al
ready reserved space for their eXhib-
its, which, with big display of auto
mobiles, will cover several acres this
year. Every kind of implement used
by the modern agriculturist from
pruning hooks to self-loading hay
shelvings and ten-ton traction engines
will be shown in the exhibit, which
rivals the best that any county fair
in the east can afford
Cattle will give way largely to poul-
try this year in the livestock exhibits.
Chicken breeders throughout the
lower end of the state have taken an
especial interest in the exhibition, as
it will give them an opportunity to
show their new pens before entering
their birds in the city exhibitions in
the fall. Poultry raising has become
an important industry in Gloucester,
Salem and Cumberland counties in
late years and the chicken fanciers
are eager to show the picnic crowds
that the state can produce other
things besides corn and potatoes.
Country girls will spend the week
oracticing the quickest way to harness
up the family nag in order to take
part in the hitching contests on Fri
day, which are always interesting at
traction. Gold trinkets are to be
given to the young women who get
their horses in the harness first and
can drive between rows of stakes
without knocking any of them down.
