ing been asked concerning the location
of bugs here, replied that the only ones
he ever heard of were fire bugs, who
were noted for placing insurance on
shanties, which later were accidentally
destroyed. Should any critics of this
column demand further particulars, they
are at their disposal, also an additional
chapter of the revelations which were
disclosed.
Should the influx of Italians continue
this community bids fair to become as
important as Hammonton, in fact may
outrival it as instead of receiving a
number of the followers of Pomona, our
arrivals belong to the industrial class
and many Ereal Improvements are pro-
jected. A peculiar condition manifests
itself, inasmuch as the old time piney
families seem to be losing their grip and
are leaving here in about the exact pro-
portion to the number of aliens arriving.
Probably the sophists will relinquish
hitting the trail to the mail train coach
with their letters, which in former adj
ministration they were compelled to
adopt-in order that their communion
tiOns might escape unseen and unread
from the prying eyes of the sans-culottes
of this terraqueous, anopheles infested
homes Which being translated, means
from the prying eyes of the ragged beg
gars of this place of lice infested homes.
Who but a vulgar lunatic would write
such trash ?'-Herutd, April "a, 1915.
There is nothing more offensive than
vulgarity, as delicacy is to the mind
what fragrance is to the fruit, and the
finest qualities of our nature, like the
bloom on fruits, can be preserved only
by the most delicate handling. Squeam-
ish and overacted elegance is false deli
cacy, quality unusually inconsistent
with itself, since the coarsest expressions
and cruelest actions are perpetrated by
those who may seem kind and obliging
to a certain extent, but when the service
required involves anything at variance
with the taste they have acquired, we
must apply elsewhere. Oh, the Earrings
their disposition must have encountered
from this column of late, and since
their disposition opposes the movement
to improve conditions here, they resolve
to have their revenge by railing at it.
Sans-cullottes literally means with
out breeches," and anopheles relates to
mosquitoes, whilst lice forms distinct
order called "Hemiptera" or 'Mallo-
phaga," therefore we will eliminate the
obvious concerning our critics delicacy,
and omit all comment, except drawing
attention to the fact that everything
'touchin' on and appertaining to- mis-
use of the mails seems admitted.
Our correspondent has taken pretty
good care of the article in the Herald,
but he did not see all of it or at least did
not use it. We give the first part of it,
thus:
IA few weeks ago the editor Of one of
the Mount Holly papers was complain
ing of the remissness of some of their
subscribers in the matter of paying their
subscriptions, saying that they added
insult to injury by replying, when asked
to pay, that they did not want the paper.
Perhaps if this paper did not allow cor
respondents to use it as means Of vent
ing vulgar spite they might find their
subscribers more inclined to pay"
The writer of this letter sent it to THE
NEWS, and there was a lot more to it.
She-we have good reason to believe the
writer was q woman-said she would not
sign any name as she did not presume
we would publish it anyway, and then
went on to say lot of other nice things
which might or might not have looked
well in print. There is a funny part to
this item in the fact that the writer is
not subscriber to THE NEWS, hence
cannot be called upon to pay, cannot or.
der the subscription stopped, or any
thing else of that kind. That she reads
the paper is evident, or else gets some
one to read it to her. At any rate al
threats from this source to ''stop the
paper when the subscription expires,
are as the idle winds that blow over the
tops of the pine trees. With references
to the sting apparently inflicted by som,
of the articles referred to, we are remind
ed of the old Quaker teacher who haC
been censuring class One Of the mem
bers demonstrated and said he though
the remarks were uncalled for, to which
the teacher replied: "Well, son, if tn
shoe fits thee put it on and wear it,"
