ance that will give them control over the

| Judge Clarence L. Cole has rendered
to Governor Fielder his resignation as
judge of the Atlantic county courts, to
take effect October LIST. No explanation
has been given as to the cause of the
resignation. The most plausible reason
is that the judgeship pays $500 year,
while in private practice he could earn
about three times that sum.

Two farmers stopped on Garden street,
Sunday morning, to have conversation.
One headed his horse to the curb but let
one end of his carriage extend into the
street. The other man headed his horse
toward the other carriage, while the
rear of his carriage extended still further |
into the road toward High street. A |
large automobile, turning into Garden
street, collided with wheel on the latter
carriage, tearing it to pieces. That was
all the damage that was done and mat
tiers were apparently settled to the salts
faction of all as the auto driver continued
his journey.
The bank stock tax law that was forced |
through at the last session of the Legis-
lature, is to be tested in the courts. 1t

cent. upon bank stock in this state Suit
was instituted on Saturday, and evidence
will be taken before a Supreme court |
commissioner at Trenton on June S, in
an inquiry of the charge that the law
was not legally enacted. In the appli-
cation to the court it is declared that the
assembly committee substitute for senate
bill 176, the original bank stock tax bill,
fathered by Senator Pierce, was intro
duced after March without unanimous
consent, which was contrary to the pro-
visions of joint resolution.
