NEW HOPE ITEMS.

New Hope, July 21, 1913.-Well
dear friends, we have had two days
of the hottest weather the past
week that we ever remember having
felt in our lives. Guess the most of
you all experienced the same pres
sure of old Sol. There has been rain
around in sight nearly every after
noon, but we do not get any around
here and we are certainly needing a
general soaking rain to get the land
wet, good and deep, for corn is SUI
fering for want of rain, and too, gar
dens are drying up; if it were not for
some Irish potatoes, chickens, and
mutton, corn and plenty of ice cold
butter milk every day we do not
know how we could have pulled
through.
We farmers are finishing up our
crops, laying by, with the exception
of some young corn and cotton, which
will have to be worked some more.
Watermelons and cantelopes are,
plentiful around here now. Mr.. c..
c. Fowler has carried off several.
loads of fine ones, the paSt week,
and also Mr.. B. w. Whitlockiis haul
ing them off almost every day by the
the four-horse loads; they all report
getting good prices for them.
We were misinformed last week
about the meeting that was to begin
at New Hope, it starts tonight (Mon-
day. and will be two. services, one
at II o'clock A. NJ, and in the even
ing at 8 o'clock. Rev. Shell cannot
help Mr.. Ariail owing to the con-
dition of his son who was hurt some
time ago very badly, but Mr.. Ariail
is fine preacher and can do all
the good if the people want to be
done good.
We attended children's day exer-
cises last night Sunday at the
Gault school house, and we never saw
children better trained anywhere;
there was not a hitch of any kind by
the very smallest one. The singing
was good. with Miss Myrtle Gault as
organst.
A few of the young folks of this
section are going to spend couple
of weeks camping at West Springs
about the 1st of August, we hope you
all will have merry time.
Hey Denver, we fully agree with
you in regard to the public roads try
ing to go to the railroads as much
as possible. There is a remedy for
such state of affairs and why not
have them applied; life is sweeter
than few yards of earth. Why, we
will say that you cannot find 10
miles of road in Union county to-
gether, that could be called first
class road. Why don't our superyis-
ors fix road right when they 90
to it before they leave it. We know
road, one side was worked 4 months
ago, and the other side has not been
worked yet. We heard a man saw
well, we have got a gasoline en-
gine and 3 huge scrapes and we can
work the county all over in a month
with 1t and the county chain gang"
Well they haven't worked one town
ship yet Where is the trouble p
Talk good roads, friends and advo-
cate the road drag. Put competent
men as overseers, men of business.
Let's all make pull for good roads
so we can haul our crops to market
with some pleasure. Smike

Poultry By Indignant Housewives.
Washington, July 22.-When SEN
ator Tillman, of South Carolina, who
is on diet by order of his physician,
declared somewhat peevishly that
"the art of frying chicken was un-
known in Washington" he had reck-
oned with the housewives of the Dis
trict of Columbia, many of them
Southerners and jealous of their abil-
ity to cook chicken in any fashion.
AS result of the aspersion indig-
nant housewives and few score ad-
mirers of the South Carolina states
man have been inundating him with
chicken. They come by parcel post
and by messengers until each day the
senator's committee room takes on
the appearance of picnic ground.
At first Senator Tillman sought to
return the gifts, but virtually none
had the name of the donor of it, al
though many contained notes defying
the senator to decry the fowls or the
cooking. AS result the committee
waste basket is continually filled
with chicken bones and committee
clerks and senate attendants, i'm
pressed to aid in keeping up with the
incoming supply, are nearing a state
of rebellion.

Political lettings.

s. Earl Assay, whose term as member OF
the township committee will expire this
year, has announced that he will seek the
nomination for assessor on the Democratic
ticket.
The Board of Education will organize
on Monday evening, April z. The terms
of the custodian of funds and district
clerk do not expire until the 3Oth of June,
so there will not be any change In those
offices until that time.
Senator:J. Warren Davis is said to be
slated for the position OF United States
District Attorney for the district of New
Jersey on the expiration of the term of
Attorney Vreeland. In the event of Mr..
Davis making the appointment 1t is said
his brother, james Mercer Davis, will be
In line for good place.
Former Judge Wescott, of Camden. is
considering entering the race for the Office
of Governor. He has informed Governor
Fielder that he has not yet fully deter
mined on his course, but If he should not
decide to get into the contest his choice
would be between Fielderand Kstzenbach,
having high regard for each of those
gentlemen.
Governor Fielder. on Wednesday, sent
to the Senate the name of Walter T,
Stewart, of Mount Holly, to succeed Jo-
seph G. Kingdom as member of the Bur.
lington County Board of Taxation. Mr.
Stewart has been assessor of this town,
ship for several years and his experience
In that line should make him a valuable
memb er of the Board of Taxation.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT TO TELL
LIFE STORY IN NORTH
AMERICAN

The North Amerzran will publish in
weekly installments, beginning Sunday,
March 80, series of photographed
articles by Theodore Roosevelt of intense
human interest.
These articles will be not only of ma
tional but of international importance, in
their Interpretation of personality which
during many years has attracted more
widespread attention in newspapers and
periodicals than any other of the present
day.
The world knows Mr. Roosevelt chiefly
as statesman. Only few know him as
private citizen, and many of the per-
sonal experiences that have helped to
mold his remarkable career are known
only to his close friends and coworkers.
These articles will be fully illustrated
with portraits, facsimiles of various docu-
ments, pictures of buildings and localities
and other appropriate matter.
In order not to be disappointed it is ad-
visable that you place your order early in
the week. lady.

which are dangerous to pass even In day
light. These places will receive imme
date attention and 1t may be decided tc
rebuild them. The trouble is caused by q
spongy foundation, and tile drain will be

On this trip Mr.. Roberts was a passen-

While cranking his machine the day be-
fore, he had his right thumb pushed back

Dinner by New sa1ea Comnanv.

OAhhCA ny NSW 0dAcS AOmpduys
The Burlington County Produce Sales
Company, new organization of which
Edwin B. Fraser is manager, gave an
elaborate dinner at the New Madison
House, Mount Holly, on Thursday. The
object of the dinner was to get the pro-
ducers and sales agents together and be-
come acquainted with each other.
Quite number of prominent commits
sion men from various states and many of
Burlington county farmers were present
The entire affair was under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Fraser and was voted great
success.
Ex-senator Charles Muehlbronner, of
Pittsburgh, Pa, representing large pro-
duce house, acted as POSTMASTER. Num-
erous speeches were made the keynote of
all of which was that with such an able
manager as Mr.. Fraser the new sales
company was certain to succeed, as all
who have ever had dealings with him
have found him to be fair and honest.
During the dinner music was rendered
by the Peerless Orchestra. of Mount
Holly.
The menu, which was served by Robert
Street, Is as follows:
Blue Points on half shell
Caviar on toast Rasp rolls
Soup, consomme
Celery Olives Radishes
Roast capon, oyster filling
New potatoes French peas Sweet potatoes
Cold slaw Cranberry Jelly
Apple frltters
Cigarettes
Frozen Madison house punch
oyster patties Orange salad
Crackers Brie cheese Sailed almonds
Ice cream and cake
Coffee
Cigars
Creme de menthe
The new Office of the company, situated
on Washington street, opposite the hotel,
has been completed, and Is a neat
structure. The company is doing business
and is meeting with considerable en-
couragement.

The Freeho1der Situation.

Taking as guide the opinion rendered
by the Supreme Court touching the small
Boards of Freeholders in other counties,
several members of the old Burlington
County Board met in the Office of Samuel
&. Robbins, In Camden. on Friday, and
after thorough discussion decided they
were the lawful controllers of the county's
affairs, and they addr essed to Harry Haw
kins, Jr., clerk of the Board, a petition
asking him to assemble the old Board on
Wednesday of next week. This petition
was served on MIR. Hawkins by Harry E.
Dubell, former Director, and Budd M.
Rigg, solicitor. The petition was signed
by the following:
Harry E. Dubell, Westampton.
Edward s. Phillips, Burlington city
T. Winfield Land, Palmyra.
Louis F. Lowden, Cinnaminson.
j. Clayton Buckage, Tabernacle.
George v. Bozarth, Woodland.
William Miller, North Hanover.
Joseph P. Lennon, Pemberton.
Howard N. Cook, Springfield.
Elwood Hart, Willingboro.
Thos. w. Fairbrother, Riverside.
s. M. Mcfarland, Eastampton.
William A. Wilkins, Mt. Laurel.
Joseph Sykes, New Hanover.
Mr.. Hawkins has not yet issued the call
and probably will not do so unless given
an order to that effect by the courts. The
new Board will meet on the same day the
old Board desires to sit, and there will
probably be some lively discussion.
The petitioners acted on the ground that
the opinion of the Supreme Court settles
the entire matter and legislates the new
Board out of Office. They admit, how
ever, that If the body now In power re-
fuses to vacate 1t will take legal proceed
ings to GUST 1t. That the new Board
will not give up has been decided, so
affairs will be In somewhat of tangle for
awhile.
The decision of the Supreme Court APP
piled to certain counties, Burlington not
being among the number. To restore the
old order of things quo warranto pro-
ceedings must be had, the same as were
instituted In the other counties. 1t is not
likely the Supreme Court will call
special session to consider this question,
and 1t will likely go over until the June
session. Then If the decision is the same
as In the other cases there will be the APP
peal to the Court of Errors, and before
the matter is finally settled the new law
making 1t mandatory for all counties to
have small Boards of Freeholders will be
In effect, and members will be elected
under IT,

Annual School Meeting.

The annual school meeting for the
township of Northampton was held in the
court house Tuesday evening, and 1t has
been long time since such interest was
shown in the matters presented to the
| legal voters. There have been contests
for membership in the Board of Educa-
ton when there have been over 400 votes
cast, but Tuesday evening was a record
breaker, and 667 ballots were deposited in
the box for members of the Board of Edu-
cation. So much interest was taken In
this matter that the subject of appropri-
ations was not given much attention,
only SO votes being cast on that subject.
The meeting was presided over by Dr.
r. s. Clarke, the district clerk acting as
secretary. The report of the financial
condition of the district was read and then
the work of the evening began.
William B. Pearson and Ellis II. Parker
were appointed tellers to look after the
box for ballots for members of the Board
of Education, and A. ]. Mullen and T.
Walter Borton took charge of the box for
appropriations. The pslls opened at As
and closed at o'clock As the name of
every voter had to be written it will be
seen that some work was done In that
time. as 667 names were put down.
1t was nearly II o'clock before the re-
suit was announced and 1t was found that |
the following votes had been cast for
members of the Board of Education:
Richard B. Eckman, 4O5; DR.. Clifton E. |
