BRICK co. GETS
REEDER FARM
Having Acquired Right Of Way and
Land From Rhoades Place All
Obstacles Are Removed.
A BIG THING FOR NEW HOPE

The Pennsylvania Brick Company
has concluded the necessary prelimi-
naries to the taking over of the
farm of the late Eastburn Reeder,
in Newhope borough and Solebury
township, thus removing the last
obstacle in the way of beginning
work upon the long deferred vitri-
fled brick plant.
Rights of way and other neces-
sary lands have been purchased
from DIR. and Mrs. Edward G..
Rhoades and w. w. Cettman, along
the canal north of the Reading Rail-
way yards, so that it will be possible
to extend branch of the railroad
track all the way through to the
Reeder farm, which is nearly mile
from the station.
The final arrangements were made
yesterday in Philadelphia, at con-
ference between Watson K. Reeder,
C. H. Beatty, Samuel G. Davis and
others. 1t is thought that the work
of construction will begin at an early

some parts of this highway, recently
taken over by the state, being in
such wretched condition as to be a
positive disgrace.
The recent heavy showers have
washed it badly in places, and it is
IN very poor condition all the way
from Center Bridge to Lumberville
and Point Pleasant. During the
past few days great quantities of
stone and dirt have washed down in
to the highway, more than fifty tons
falling at one point near Lumberton,
and in other places the water still
stands from six inches to foot deep
where the road has basins in it's
surface. Automobiling through near
ly mile of this kind of highway is
very similar to fording a lake.
The state is supposed to be re-
pairing this road, having set aside
the sum of fifty dollars per mile, but
between Center Bridge and Lum-
berton (jusC before reaching Lum-
berville) this would do little more
than fill one of the six or eight
parallel ruts in the highway.
The Solebury Good Roads Asso-
citation will ask Governor Brum-
baugh to have the state furnish
stone and they will put it on this
highway. In proper condition it
would prove one of the most at
tractive highways imaginable. being
one of the most beautiful spots in
Pennsylvania.
The Newhope and Lahaska pike
is down to bedrock since the heavy
rains. The most skeptical are will
ing to admit that it has firm stone
bottom, it showing to good advan-
tage all the way from the toll gate
near Huffnagle station to beyond
Aquetong. distance of about three
miles. The only repairs made so
far have been few shovelsfull of
dirt here and there where a ditch
crossed the highway. The associa-
ton expects to stir this company up,
in view of the increased revenue OBJ
tanned from the road since so many
autoists are using it.

Liquor Case Dismissed.

The case of Joseph B. Atchley,
owner of the York Street House,
Lsmbertville. who was alleged to
have sold liquor to Elijah McIntire,
a minor, was aired before special
meeting of the Excise Commission
last Friday evening.
McIntire, who is colored man,
was called and he said that he had
bought liquor at Atchley's for the
past two years, and that he was
now between 10 and 20 years of
age.
Mr.. Atchley, in his own behalf.
said that he had sold liquor to Nc
Intire, but that the latter told him
he was of age, and had signed a
paper to that effect. The docu-
ment had, however, been misplaced
and could not be produced at the
meeting.
President Theodore Holcombe,
when the board dismissed the case,
warned Mr.. Atchley that the law
must be complied with, and that
any future violation would result in
the loss of the license.

by "Bill'' Bryan, the man who
flunked when his country needed
him. Of course Bryan wouldn't
put it just that way, but it's the
net result, summed up.
Colonel Roosevelt made speech,
before some of the army officers
and civilian recruits, in which he
spoke of preparedness for war, and
Secretary of War Garrison followed
it up by censuring General Wood for
allowing it. Bryan comes along and
says that Garrison is right and
Roosevelt wrong, so Roosevelt gets
the free advertising.
Garrison gets blamed for what
looks like an attempt to muzzle free
speech, and Bryan gets the laugh.

leaped into the frank
ranks of bugaboos for certain up
county politicians who profess to see
a niger in the woodpile" in the
placing of candidates in the field this
year.
The Clinton Democrat, edited by
Leon Carpenter, who keeps sharp
eye upon the political field, gets
real mad every time it thinks about
the ungratefulness of the people
who are being used in an attempt
to defeat equally good men by split
ting the temperance vote of Hun

Sergeantsville seems to be the
bone of contention. 1t is raising the
wrath of the Democratic politicians
to think that the Prohibitionists
have three candidates hailing from
that village, when a whole county
is at their disposal. 1t is also sug-
gested that because Rev. Harry j.

semblyman from Hunterdon, re-

section shouldn't go back on him at
election time.
Leon does not think that the Della
ware township movement is the
genuine article" but that's because
he hasn't met the people who are
pushing the good work along.
Just why the Democratic candi-
dates for nomination at the pri-
maries should worry about the Pro-
hibition movement is beyond us, as
the cold-water people certainly can
not alter the results there in any
way, and with lead of from 1000
to 1000 in the county, it certainly
augurs we'll for the Prohibition
movement if the old party people
think they can muster enough votes
to swing the election to the Re-
publican candidates who usually do
not have even a look in.
Now that the Sergeantsville move
ment has begun to keep the poll
ticians awake nights, we are going
to keep an eye upon it ourselves,
because such sudden rise to eminence
certainly will add fame to the
aggressiveness of the Coryell's Ferry
Community, whether it's done by
Jerseyman or Pennsylvanians.
