OYSTER SEASON
SEPTEMBER |.
Boats Will Go Out on Mon
day.
OYSTERS ARE VERY GOOD
Everything Points to Prosperous
Opening of the Maurice River
Cove Season.

The Maurice River Cove oyster sea-
son opens on the first day of Septem-
Der. This date, this year, falls on
Sunday, and the taking of oysters from
the planted beds in the Cove will not
begin until Monday This is a legal
holiday, but it will not be observed
among the Maurice Silver Cove plant
ers. Many boats will go out upon the
Cove early Monday morning, and
catching will follow the sunrise gun.
The catch will be brought into Bivalve
and Maurice River on Monday after
noon, and the market will get the oy-
sters early Tuesday morning.
One prominent planter and shipper
of Maurice River Cove oysters has
written his trade, "We have the bright
est outlook for good stock this year
than has been existing for years."
Oystermen who work the beds in the
famous Maurice river cove are pre-
pairing for brisk season with the re-
newal of oyster dredging September 2,
and the 400 trim little schooners which
operate in the cove are being scraped,
painted and rigged and slid off the
mud banks, where many of them have
been laid away on their leels during
the idle summer period, when the TAX
ing of oysters here is prohibited.
Schooner captains who have got per-
mits to sample their beds return with
the report that the oysters are in
much better condition than they have
been for years. Most of the salts are
out of milk, which makes them unpal-
atable during the spawning season
in July and early August. All of the
oystermen who are here getting ready
TO start the season say that the sam
pies from the beds show the oysters
to be in better condition now than they
were at the first of September last
year. They say the salts will improve
even more before the season starts.
Ernest Mulford a well-known oy-
ster planter of Cedarville, attributes
the improved condition of the oysters
this season to the drought in this sec
ton of the state this summer. The
lack of rain has kept the water in the
cove much saltier than usual and has
maze the temperature of the water a
few degrees cooler because of the in
creased salinity. Consequently, the
cove oysters have thrived. They are
plump and fat and of flavor calcu-
lated to tempt the epicurean when the
first shipments are made from the cove
next month.

Stokes WON'T
QUIT THE CONTEST

Trenton, Aug. 27.-An emphatic
statement was issued today by former
Gov. e. G. Stokes, denying that he had
Withdrawn from the race for United
States Senator. Following a confer
ence here yesterday afternoon of some
Republican State leaders, at which ex-
Gov. Stokes was present, an article
was published that he had withdrawn
His statement follows:
The article is entirely without au-
thority except as to the conference it
self. There was a conference, some
of the members of which were for
Taft and some for Roosevelt. There
was talk on the political situation
in general and the Senatorial situa-
tion as we'll. Everyone seemed conf
dent that the primary vote would be
favorable to me and there was no sug-
gestion of my retirement in favor of
another candidate.
1T was simply a conference as to
the w1sest methods to be pursued in
a situation where many Republicans
are divided on the Presidential ISSUE"

PLANNING SYSTEM
OF PARCELS POS

Washington, Aug 27.-The institu-
ton OF parcels post system in the
United States will be taken up tomor-
row. Senator Bourne, author of the
plan adopted, will then have a confer
ence with the officials of the Post-Of-
flee Department. Preliminaries will
be arranged and the working out OF
details follow.
The system is similar in many ways
to that of the postal savings banks. In
the opinion of Senator Bourne four
months will be necessary to arrange
for carrying into effect the parcels
post legislation. Under the law it be-
comes effective January 1, 1913. This
will afford four months for prepar-
alton.
In predicting a great future for the
parcels post system, Mr.. Bourne to-
day said:
"It will not only greatly reduce
fourth class mail rates, but will cut
the rates for carrying packages 25 per
cent. below present express rates. 1t
will benefit everybody in this country,
with the exception of the express COM
panies, and it will affect 80 per cent.
of their business"
The mapping out OF plan whereby
the Federal Government may cooper
ate with the States in improving
highways will be pressed. Senator
Bourne today conferred with w. Logan
Page, Director of the Good Roads
Bureau, in the Agricultural Depart
ment, regarding the legislation car
ried in the Post-Ofice Appropriation
bill. Provision was made for a COM
mission to investigate and report a
programme under which the building
of roads may be expedited An effort
will be made to have a report ready
for consideration when Congress
meets again in December.

MURDERER IS

SON MAKES STATEMENT
Carton Declares that He Killed His
Father in Self De-
fence.

Henry Carton, the young man who
killed his father, is still confined at
the lookup at Vineland, not having
been brought to the County Prison.
The young man makes the following
statement:
1T was either me or my father and
had to fight him off. l did not mean
to kill him, but sooner or later he
would have killed some of us. He
drove my mother from the house night
after night with the threat of death
and often beat her when he was crazy
with rum and did not know what he
was doing. l was trying to protect
my mother and probably saved her
life by acting quickly. Father turned

The dead man was one of the best
known business men of the town. He
kept a livery here for years and was
prominent in his line until several
years ago when he took to drink. The
Gartons had four children, of whom

PORT NORRIS
WITHOUT LICENSE
Hotel Cannot Have Bar for
Year.
RELIEF IS FELT NOW.
The Bar Has Long Been Obnoxious
to Most People of Port
Norris.

The action of Judge Royal P. Tuller
in revoking the license of Mrs. Emma
D. Davis, proprietor of the Port Norris
hotel, makes it impossible for the bar
of the hotel to be re-opened by anyone
for year. This is one of the provi-
sions of the Bishops act, and no mat
ter who may take over the house, an
application for license cannot be made
| for twelve months.
| Port Norris has long had a license
hotel. For many years the bar of that
house has continued to do a flourish
ing business. At times there have
been protests made against granting a
license for the house, but the opposi-
tion has failed.
| The present hotel has been in the
name of Mrs. Emma Davis for a good
many years, and was conducted by
her husband, Elwood Davis, who was
formerly in the hotel business in
Gloucester County. Mr.. Davis was an
experienced hotel keeper and since he
has been in Port Norris, he has great
ly improved the hotel property, max
ing substantial additions. The dining
room had wide reputation and many
people journeyed there for meals.
OF later years Mr.. Davis has been
physically incapacitated from operat-
ing the house and giving it his per.
sonal attention. What management
the hotel had, expended all of it's en-
ergyin promoting the business of tn,
bar, and there was very much caus,
for complaint. Many men who favor
a license system complained of the bal
room of the Davis hotel. 1t was no
torious that liquors were sold t.
drunken men, and liquor was sold t.
men scarce able to walk away from
the bar, in quantities. Several drunk
en- men, carrying Davis house liquor
were killed by trolley cars while lyin,
insensible upon the tracks where the.
had fallen.

that the hotel people took no precau

as anyone else. The impression
throughout the community is that tn,
hotel management cared nothing fo
the peace of the town, the good nam
and order of the citizenship, but wal

MAY STOP ALL
ELECTRIC SERVICE

Ocean City, N. j., Aug. 27.-Consid-
cradle indignation and surprise was
expressed this afternoon when it was
learned that the Ocean City Electric
Railroad Company had issued public
notice that unless prosecutions against
its employees for working on cars Sun
days are withdrawn, no cars will be
run next Sunday. Neither will the
company furnish electric light on that
day, as the plant will be shut down.
Andrew c. Boswell, counsel for the
prosecution in the case in which the
railroad company is interested, said
tonight that the prosecution will not
be Withdrawn. There is talk of get
ting out an Injunction. Many people
say they will be glad to see the mat
ter come to a head.
