Political Notes.

Candidates for Township Committee
are springing up. The names mentioned
IN this connection the last week are
Harry w. Kempte, Joseph Taylor, OF
Mount Holly avenue, and George Gilbert.

Hon. James E. MARITIME, This man

the records enthusiastic approval of
Governor Woodrow Wilson'S successful
effort to force Mr.. MARITIME upon the
people of New Jersey as their represent

better now than it did few years ago.
Former Sheriff Jordan was in town
yesterday and was greeted as SENATOR
by many friends. He said he had never
said he was going to be candidate for
Senator and that the suggestion seemed
to come from the Republicans as it was
in papers of that faith he had noticed
the announcements. Asked if he would |
be candidate for the office he replied:
II do not expect to be the next Senator
from Burlington county" This leaves
q peculiar construction to be put on his
answer. He would not say he was not
going to be candidate but if he should
be nominated it would seem as if he did
not have much hope of being elected.
There is no doubt that the leaders of the
Democratic party have all conceded the
to him. l.

Bow Drowned.

Gordon Budden, Is years of age, was
drowned at the milldam Sunday even
ing, shortly after six o'clock. The boy
was unable to swim and was padding
around on sandbar near the fioodgates.
He stepped off into deep water and the
undertow from the water coming down
from the floodgates drew him under.
Eivln Linton, young companion,
grabbed the drowning lad, but was not
able to hold him and the rushing waters
soon swept the unfortunate boy out of
sight.
There were several men in the neigh
borhood who rushed to the place and at
once began to dive for the body but
could not locate it until nearly ten
o'clock. The place where the boy
entered the water is favorite spot for
bathers as the water which sweeps over
the dam forms bar and makes the
creek quite shallow. The same water,
however, swirls around and forms, few
yards distant, pool that is quite deep
and which also makes whirlpool which
the best swimmers have trouble to con-
tend with.
The boys body was recovered by
Thomas l.. Quigley.

During the severe shower, on Friday
evening, lightning killed one man and
injured another.
Enoch Test, employed on the farm OF
Howard Let's, near Jobstown, was the
man killed. He and two other farm

when it began raining. The lightning
became SO severe that the two men
sought other shelter, and requested Test
to accompany them. He refused to
leave and short time later the tree was
struck and the man killed instantly.

Mount Holly, 5, Browns |. Sacrifice hits,
Beaudry, Gillian. $. Burtis, Gibbs. Stolen
bases. Cline 2. Double play. McCue to
NOTES.
Not an earned run was recorded. The
two made were scored on errors.
Next Saturday Mount Holly will play
Wildwood on the High street grounds.
The hackers of the Browns went home
very jubilant and they had reason to do
so.
Hits were evenly divided. Mount
Holly could get in touch with the ball
but could not place it safely.
Chance had eight strikeouts; Cain had
three. But the result goes to show that
strikeouts do not control the game.
The catch Of Mack, of the Browns,
which cut off Gillam's possible three
Dagger, was one of the prettiest ever
seen on the grounds.
Gibbs, who could not play with Mount
Holly on account of his eyes going back
on him, has recovered sufficiently to
play with other teams.
The game between Mount Holly and
Medford has been postponed until the
21st of August. The date originally set
occurs on the time set for the ''Old
Home Days. at Medford.
The Browns will play on their grounds
on Saturday, the opposing team being
the Mitchell, of Burlington. The latter
was in the Delaware River League and
will put up strong argument.
Medford went to Lumberton Satur
day and downed the home team by tbs
score of four to two. Vaughn and
Stermer were the pitchers and the
former did not show any bad effects
from his long struggle Of the previous
Saturday.
The hackers Of both teams were very
confident of success, and at times some o
them got beyond the bounds of decen
enthusiasm. Too frequent trips to th'
ice cream wagon may have caused thu
overflow. The players on both side
acted the part of gentlemen.
Only four men reached third base
