Along the Shore.

While soldering a hole in a gasoline
tank that had been empty two years.
Harold Crowley, employed at Tucker
ton garage, was badly injured by an ex-
plosion of the tank. His eyes were bad
ly injured and he was otherwise serious
ly hurt. He was taken to hospital
Harvey Clayton was fined $50 by
Judge Carmichael for stealing robes from
automobiles at Lakewood. He had
pleaded guilty to the charge.
There is no accounting for taste. Jo-
seph Henry Cranmer has removed from
Pleasant Plains to Double Trouble,
where he formerly resided. Most people
would prefer to keep away from one
trouble and would positively shun dou-
BILE trouble, particularly if they resided
in town with name like Pleasant
Plains. But the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, at Pleas
ant Plains, had Joseph Henry arrested
and fined for using an OK that had a
sore foot, so he shook the town with the
happy name and moved back to his old
home with the unpleasant title, where
he says people have troubles enough OF
their own without interfering with Other
persons. Joseph took his OK team with
him to his former place of residence.

Forest Fire.

Timber estimated to be worth $4,000
was destroyed by a forest fire which
ragged for two days in the vicinity of At
sion, eight miles from Hammonton, and
a half hundred volunteers, headed by
State Fire Marshals, only succeeded late
Saturday night in bringing the confia-
grafton under control.
Starting Thursday near the farm
owned by former Congressman John J.
Gardner, the flames swept over 500 acres
of the best timber lands in the Wharton
tract, recently taken over by the state as
watershed. Farmhouses and other build
ings on the fringe of the flames narrow.
and the fire fighters, under charge OF
Marshal Joseph Abbott, of Hammonton,
were frequently in danger of being cut
off from safety as it ragged along, un.
checked by their desperate efforts.
The timber land ravaged by the flames
was the most valuable in the entire
tract, containing fine growth of pine
and oak. For time it was feared that
the confiagration would spread through
the entire surrounding country, and 9
call issued for aid was quickly answered
by farmers in the vicinity of Atsion
While it is believed the danger point has
now been passed, there was a large force
of men on duty Saturday night, pre-
pared to fight a fresh outbreak.
1t is believed the fire had its origin
either in the carelessness or malicious
ness of tramps, and the country sur
rounding the burned area is being scour
ed in an effort to apprehend the often
ders.

Columbus.

Parker Grubb Post No. Is, G. A. r.,
of Burlington, observed their usual GUS
tom on the Sunday before Memorial day
by coming to the Columbus cemetery
and decorating the graves of their fallen
comrades with flags and flowers. In
view of the present Mexican muddle,
the ceremonies of last Sunday seemed
more impressive than usual and the
hearts and sympathies of the spectators
went out to the dear old soldiers who
suffered and died to keep together a
Union of Gods noblest freeman and to
perpetuate Government of inconceiva-
BILE advantages to the whole world. AT
ter the ceremonies at the cemetery the
Post was taken to the town hall, where
sumptuous rations had been prepared
and where the hospitality and
patriotism of Columbus citizens were
unstinting displayed.

ChautauolIa.

On June II, Chautauqua will return t
Mount Holly for the third season. The
Chautauqua committee is rapidly get
ing it's plans into form for the opening
of the ticket selling campaign. These
gentlemen are working hard for the big
gest Chautauqua that we have yet had.
Most of the allotment of tickets for the
coming season has already been sub
scribed for, and the remainder are ex-
pected to be taken up before the opening
day. A two dollar season ticket will adj
NIT bearer to each of the thirty-one
events of the weeks program. The
Mount Holly Chautauqua is one of more
than two hundred for which the Chau-
tauqua Association at Swarthmore, Pa,
arranges the program and details of
operation this season.
The Swarthmore Association has had
a most interesting career. 1t was organ
lied February, 1912, by group of gentle
men of Philadelphia and vicinity who
hoped that it might become a leading
factor in popular education. That sum-
mer they operated forty-one Chautau-
quas in seven states. In 1914 they will
operate more that two hundred Chautau-
quas in the North Atlantic States. The
confidence that committees have in
Chautauqua is attested by the fact that
of 103 towns operated last year, 10l sign
ed contracts for 1914, and the others wish
ed Chautauqua to return, but lack of
support made it unwise for the Chau-
tauqua Association to respond. In thir-
ty-three towns the Chautauqua is being
indoors. For the summer,
there will be two circuits with fourteen
big tents The Association now owns
fourteen tent equipments, six automo-
biles for advertising, fourteen pianos,
fourteen living tents, fourteen auditor
ium tents, fourteen moving picture out
fits, and twenty thousand chairs.

Political Notes.

Hon. David Baird, of Camden, was
given a reception at the rooms of the
Camden Republican Club, Friday even
ing, in honor of his 50th anniversary as
a member of the Republican party Mr..
Baird was presented with silver loving
cup.
Former Governor Stokes has gone on
an ocean trip to New Orleans, but will
not be away long, expecting to be home
by Thursday of next week. Mr.. Stokes
does not take very long trips but he OBJ
serves a lot while he is away. One of his
specialties this time will be study OF
the effects of the tariff in the localities
he will visit
The announcement of former Senator
Lewis that he will be a candidate for
member of Congress from the Second
District appears to have pleasing effect
on all sides. Senator White is not dis
mayed and does not fear the result. The
friends of Assemblyman Richards think
that two candidates in the field from
this county will strengthen his chances,
while the friends of Assemblyman Salus,
who are opposed to Richards, think that
there will be more chance now to defeat
Richards. Meanwhile Senator Nichols,
who is holding down a salaried job at
Trenton, is keeping his eye open to the
possibilities of dark horse slipping in,
with the possibility of his being ''the
boss"
Somebody is trying to make it appear
that former Congressman Gardner is
going to get into the race for the nomin-
alton in September. Mr.. Gardner has
not yet given any foundation for such
an idea. After the verdict of the last
election in which he was before the
people it is hardly probable that he will
be willing to again become a target for
the shots that would undoubtedly be
awaiting him.
Assemblyman Peacock expects to try
to succeed himself in the House of AS
sembly, and will keep in training for the
Republican nomination for state senator
next year. Bob's libel suit for Islander
in the last campaign seems to have gone
to sleep. Perhaps the large majority he
received in November was sufficient
vindication.
On the subject of the Atlantic CITY
post Office the Press of that city saws:
UNLESS he has sent in his resignation
very recently within the past few days.
Harvey Thomas is still postmaster of
Atlantic City and drawing $1,000 year.
Yet he has not been seen in Atlantic
City for weeks and months, and when
he has been here it has been only for an
hour or two at time. 1t is difficult to
comprehend that chap so very con-
scientious as Thomas would consent to
be postmaster in name only, much less
to draw money for doing nothing and
Sinking everything but responsibility,
trusting to luck. But then, SO many
pious faced, unctuous-voiced reformers
have proved disappointing under the
white, testing light of time. Why
doesn't Thomas step aside and let some
Democrat have the job who will really be
postmaster"

ChatSWorth.

During the week we have had several
disastrous forest fires, and unless this
carelessness is stopped, the appearance
of the landscape will be changed from
smiling summer to desolation.
Mr.. Buttman, the Philadelphia con-
tractor, is putting the finishing touches
on the fourth clothing factory he has
erected here, which will be operated by
Messrs. Heidelbach, Ickleheimer and
Nutermeyer, of New York city.
The steady influx of Jewish citizens
into our township bids fair to change our
monotonous and lethargic existence
Outside the economic field, fear of the
Jew is oftenest expressed in the sociOlog-
ical anxiety concerning assimilation.
Race blending has been going on from
the beginning of our history The tide
flows frow the places of want to the
lands of plenty. Heretofore, locally,
one or two families with their relatives
and dependents controlled everything,
morally, socially and financially, with
disastrous results to the community and
incidentally to the state, as Miss Kite
has fully explained and attested. With
the entry of the Jew, with his cosmopol-
itan experience, we will obtain better
schools, enjoy more enlightenment, and
dbOtC oil ln1ClCSb,
which substituted for the callous neglect
and illiteracy which now obtain, will
fan to glow the divine spark in the
coarsest natures.
From an economic standpoint, we can
give the Jews cards and spades and beat
them to it. This township numbers
about 100 voters, half of whom trade in
the hamlets surrounding the village, the
remaining fifty per cent. patronize our
establishments, which consist of three
grocery stores and one hotel. On the
meagre business outlined, the proprietors
of those places, with one exception, own
and operate two pleasure automobiles
each, the exception finding his amuse
ment in erecting dwelling houses, six o.
which he has built inside short period.
We are no theorists respecting conserva-
ton here, we are practitioners. Our fru-
gality and industry remind US of the
New York chorus girl who had 100000
to her credit in bank, and on being asked
how she got it, replied ooh, / saved it
out of my SIS weekly salary"
