BOARD Of Ereehnlders

Notwithstanding the Mount Holly
fair was in progress on Wednesday and
the members of the Board of Freehold
ers would have preferred to be on the
fair grounds instead of in the court
house, they stuck to business and there
was no unnecessary rush.
Prosecutor Kelsey suggested that the
board offer reward of $50 for the APP
prehension of the parties who robbed
Theodore Leonite, his mother and sis
ter, some time ago when they were on
their way to Whites bog. This sug-
gestion was favorably acted upon.
The wage scale for county labor was
taken up. This subject was discussed
some time ago and it was thought that
the rate per day should be increased in
some portions of the county. Two
dollars is what has been paid and
resolution was offered to continue that
price the balance of the year. But Mr..
Wilkins thought this was not exactly
the best plan as the days are getting
short. Road supervisor Mcfarland
suggested that 50 per day be the rate
for the month of October and it was so
decided.
In compliance with the law affecting
the budget of the state road depart
ment, an estimate of the road needs on
which state aid will be asked during
1917 and 1918 was made up and ordered
forwarded to the state road commits
sioner. The total number of miles
needing consideration is 216. The total
cost of the work that should be done
next year is estimated at 1892, I'll. 25
and the state aid asked on such work
is s12S, 314.6s. For 1918 the total cost
is figured at 1919, 255.5O and the state is
asked to allow $149, 4102O. The
amounts asked are probably few dol.
lars more than the county will be able
to get.
| Committees on tuberculosis hospital
and county buildings did not have
anything Of importance to report and
the committee on the determination oil
mosquitoes said the "animiles" had
practically gone out of business for this
season, so the board decided to adjourn
until the Tuesday after election.

Base Ball

Some team, huh?" Made amateur
Mount Holly bite the dust" even if it
,ook professional pitcher to do it.
Then it went to work to wipe the dust
up with Delanco Saturday. Nothing
Loit, kid-nothingtoit Believe me,
some team is Riyerton," butitcouldn't
deliver the goods Saturday. The back
ers of the club could sit in the grand
stand and call out one song which was
back to the bushleaguers, something
the young rooter seemed to have learn
ed by heart, for he did not have any
thing else, except to say once, money
talks" but when q Delanco man put
up the cash he had to let companion
take the bet. Eddie Williams perform
ed his Comanche dance in the coacher's
box, but he had to crawl to cover under
pretence of darkness. The Riverton
team was up against the real thing
and the players and the crowd knew it.
Several fans" from this place went
to Palmyra Saturday, to see the game.
They did not have the pleasure OF see
ing Riverton beaten, but they saw De
lance escape a shut out and tie the
score, which was two to two when the
game was called on account OF dark
ness. There was large crowd present
and the enthusiasts appeared to be
equally divided. LATTE pitched for
Riverton, and Seybold was on the
mound for Delanco. Jimmy" Green
wood caught forDelanco and he played
a fine game. Up to the fifth inning
neither side scored. Then through an
error or two, some hitting and some
poor playing by DeIanco, the other
side got two men over the home plate.
This set the Riverton crowd wild. Up
to the ninth inning Delanco, while it
had made some good hits, was not able
to get run over. Eddie Williams, who
had been doing the wild Indian dance
on the first base coaching line, thought
the game was practically settled, and
he went to the dressing room and
changed his clothes. In the ninth,
however. Delanco got busy and scored
two runs. With a man on second
Jimmy Greenwood sent beauty to left
field and the man on second tried to
get home, but was caught at the plate
on very close decision. Riverton was
not able to do anything in the last half
of its inning and then Eddie Williams
showed the cheapness OF his sportsman
ship. He suddenly discovered that it
had the umpire declare the game end
ed. While the majority of the specta-
tors thought there was light enough to
allow the game to proceed, Eddie was
evidently afraid to go home in the
dark, and so the contest ended. There
was only one umpire, Philadelphia
man who gave general satisfaction.
Riverton discovered early in the game
it was not up against Mount Holly's
amateur team, but had real work cut
tout for it. Lafitte did not try his balk
throw to first base as much as he did
at Mount Holly. Delanco was wise to
| it and he was closely watched. An
other game will be played next Satur-
day between the two teams, at Pal
myra.
We are not able to give the box score
of the game as it was not published in
the Philadelphia papers Sunday.
Probably it was too dark to send it in
Begin at three o'clock, Eddie, and
then there will not be any need of get
ting scared at the dark.

Charles Dillingham; will produce for
the first time away from the New

cupied that huge playhouse during all
of last season and which as the Hippo

direction of Mr.. Dillingham; COM

most emphatic praise that had ever
, been given to a Hippodrome produc-
ton; attracted larger crowds for a
longer time than had ever before been
drawn to witness an indoor entertain
ment and by it's unprecedented, unap-
preached success justified the claim
that the Hippodrome was "a national
institution" Shows from the New

American theatricals records no such
ambitious attempt as this of Mr.. Dill

The Atlantic City Press, Thursday,
made the following remarks:

GOOD BOY, CHARLEY!
"Charles III. Folwell, editor of the
New Jersey Mirror, opposed Senator
Edge in the recent gubernatorial con-
test with more bitterness and rancor
than any other one man in the whole
state. Had Senator Edge paid any at.
tsntion to the weekly attacks in the
Mount Holly newspaper the campaign
would have descended into TRADE Of
personalities, instead Of continuing to
the end, az 1t did, ON the high grade
standard of an intelligent and impas-
sionate discussion Of the big issues.
But that is history and may as well be
forgotten right now in the light OF this
editorial which appears in q current
issue of Mr.. Folwsll's newspaper:
The Mirror stimulates no pleasure
in announcing the apparent nomina-
ton of Walter E. Edge, Of Atlantic
county, for Governor. II frankly re-
Rrets the choice of New Jersey Repub-
icans, narrow az the margin Of prefer
ence appears to have been, for it is con-
WINGED that the party has played into
the hands of the enemy. Believing
in majority rule and that party differ
ences should not be carried beyond the
NAkA4xnAY viz xUH1U Wall 60RtSAu WIG
Republican ticket an it has always
done. but 1t enters the final stage OF
the campaign of 1916 with less con-
fldsncs than would have been the case
had the candidate whom the Demo
crats most feared, been nominated.
''Of course. there ia unmistakably
an essence of sour grapes in this edi-
torial. But what good Republican and
citizen will not stand for q little vine
gar along with the sweet if New Jer-
ssy may be rescued from an admins
tration of extravaganee and outside
dictation and returned to the Republi-
can fold and o busineszlike admins

ure to see candidate Edges name in

Holly newspaper, even IL Mr.. Folwell,
personally, does think that the choice
Of O majority Of Republicans in New
Jersey In going to plunge the party in
to defeat and oblivion. Perhaps great
many of the Mirrors readers in Bur-
lington county do not agree that the
man who was strong enough to win
the sizzling intra-party contest cannot
triumph over Democratic opponent
In November; perhaps o majority OF
the Mirrors readers believe that the
State needs an administration such as
Walter e. Edge is pledged TO give it;
perhaps the Mirrors readers contend
that useless commissions ought to be
abolished and consolidated with other
departments of New Jersey, in the in
tsrest Of economy, and that Republi-
cans who happened to lose positions
because Of o reorganization in the in
terest Of the plain taxpayer should not
eternally damn the Republican who
had the political courage to initiate the
reform business legislation and the per
sistsncy to push it thru. The average
Republican is perfectly content to
leave it up to the good judgment of tbs
people of Burlington county.
