An Earnest Supporte
of the Women.


The new Board of Freeholders Is trying
to solve the above question, and up to the
present time have not been able to give q
satisfactory answer. The Supreme Court
of New Jersey. by Justice Swayze, has
rendered an opinion which apparently
throws aside the decision of the voters at
the two last elections, in one of which 1t
was decided to have a small Board of
Freeholders and in the other the gentle.
men who are now serving the county were
elected. The general impression seems to
prevail that the old Board of Freeholders
can now come in and take hold, but there
are some legal authorities who dispute
this.
The opinion referred to was rendered
on suit to GUST the New Boards of Free
holders in counties that were named, Bur-
lington not being one of them, but the
idea is that the opinion is general In its
results, and that all must go. How to
get at this is bothering those interested.
The Clerk of the Board Of Freeholders Is
the only official authorized to call meet
ing of the body, either on the order of
the Director or the request of a certain
number Of members. Just now the Clerk
does not know who his boss is.
Many csntend that it will be necessary
for the old Board to take legal proceed.
ings to have the new Board ousted. Harry
E. Dubell, Director of the old body, has
been quoted as saying he intended to pro-
coed at once to get the old Board togeth-
er, but Mr.. Dubell desires us to say that
he has no such intention. When 1t Is
made plain what his duty is or when he
is directed by the proper authorities how
he is to proceed, he will go ahead, but
not until he is assured as to his position.
In the meantime the Board now In Office
will be compelled to look after many ne
cessary things. Bridges may go down.
holes may appear in the roads. and it will
not do to let the county suffer from mat
tention. Whether the members will &c

determined later.
Because of the above ruling, bill was
introduced In the Assembly last evening,
making 1t mandatory for all counties Of

Mr.. Editor: Will you kindly give a
little space to further enlighten the voters
on the subject of electing members to fill
the three vacancies ON the school Bosrd2
First. however much the women may
wish to aid In electing two women on the
Board, they are powerless so far as voting
is concerned-theY can give their voices,
not their votes, as women are only entitled
to vote for school appropriations, not for
members of the Board of Education.
Secondly, many men have probably
never given thought to the Importance
of having some women on the school
Board to help the male members in look
ing after the best interests of the children,
women being nearer the little ones. and
knowing by intuition their needs. Try
some women on the Board, and the citi-
zens of our town will henceforth demand
their presence there.
The two who have consented to stand
as candidates are Mrs. Richard P. Hole
man and Miss Mary w. Budd. the latter
at the earnest solicitation of Mrs. Pumyea,
who was mentioned last week, but who
preferred not to undertake it.
All who know the business qualifications
and the standing in the community of the
two ladies In question, will not doubt their
ability to cope with any matter pertaining
to the duties of the Board.
Try them.
An Earnest Supporter
of the Women.

School Meeting.

The annual meeting of the voters of this
township to decide upon matters connected
with conducting the schools next year will
be held In the court house this evening,
and 1t promises to be more interesting
than many that have been held in the
past. A new feature has been introduced
by the nomination for members of the
Board of Education of two women.
While this is an innovation for Mount
Holly it has been the practice In several Of
the townships In the county to have women
on the Board, Moorestown and Cinnamin-
son having three each, Riverton and
Tabernacle two each, Chesterfield one.
There is quite a division of sentiment
about the advisability Of putting women
on the Board here and the question is be-
ing thoroughly discussed The two
female candidates are certainly qualified
for the position and would not lessen the
efficiency Of the body.
The candidates In the field are: Mrs.
Abby K. Holemsn, Miss Mary w. Budd,
Richard B. Eckman, Clifton E. Lord,
John T. Murphy, Francis G. NaYlor,
Henry H. Savage, John N. Austin. Carrot
d. W. Slack, Charles W. Jackson. All
Of the voters of the town are probably
well acquainted with each of the persons
named, with the possible exception of Mr..
Jackson. He is resident of West Wash
ington street where he conducts grocery
store. He is the coachman of lady In
the town. He was candidate for justice
of the peace on the Republican ticket las
fall, but was defeated. He thinks the
colored voters should have representation
on the Board.
Many inquiries have been made with
reference to the privileges Of women at
the meeting this evening. They have the
right to vote for appropriations, but not
for members of the Board of Education.
There seems to be an inconsistency In
this provision of the law. Women may
become members of Board of Education
but they cannot cast their ballot for one
of their own or even for one of the other
sex. They may electioneer, however, and
they have been diligently doing that for
some days.
The polls will open this evening at 7.SO
and will remain open at least an hour and
as much longer as is necessary to receive
the ballots.
The Junior and Senior Mechanics, the
Brotherhood of America, and Patriotic
Order Sons of America have endorsed the
following ticket and have sent letters to
their members to go out and vote 1t:
Richard B. Eckman, Clifton E. Lord,
Francis c. Naylor.

will of julius Brown, brother of the
former governor, disposing of an es-
tate rated we'll above a million dol
lars. was ended Tuesday with an
agreement among the contestants,
ratified by Judge Ellis, of the Supe-

The agreement virtually upholds

750 shares of stock in the Joseph M.
Brown Company, worth about $4,000,
In the pockets of the executor, Joseph
M. Brown, former governor.
Mrs. Mary v. Connaly brought the
original suit. The agreement is an
involved document From a hasty
examination court officials said they
figured that it gives Georgia Tech,
one of the parties in the suit. about
$4,000.
Others who figured in the fight and
who will share in the distribution of
stock worth many thousands of dol
lars are George M. Brown, Elijah A.
Brown and Sally e. Brown.

most noted in the States history and
has been the subject of active legal

A
SUICIDE
N MOCK
DIES, TOO
Son Arrested in Jacksonville, She
Ends Life-Too Heavy
a Burden.

SAVANNAH, Nov. 4.-Three years
ago in Atlanta the husband of Mrs.
Albertine S. Mock ended his own life.
To-day in Savannah the lifeless
bodies of Mrs. Mock and her 11-year-
old daughter, Albertine, were found
in their bedroom. An open gas jet
told the story of their end.
A note was found in Mrs. Mock's
handwriting. 1t told of a pitiful strug-
gle for existence she had made for
herself and son and daughter after
the death of the husband and father.
And it told of her failure. "It was
too hard to provide" the note read.
She evidently did not wish her daugh-
ter to experience the hardships she
had encountered. Death was consid-
cred preferable.
Just a few days ago the son, on
whom Mrs. Mock had depended, was
arrested in Jacksonville, Fla, charged
with stealing ride on freight
train. This, friends of Mrs. Mock
say, was the browning blow.
She brought her family here three
years ago, Immediately after her
husbands death. She has recently
been employed as a bookkeeper by
the Western Union Telegraph Com
