Saw Huge Deer Tracks.

Many stories have been told of how
deer hunters saw tracks and also saw
deer on the first day of the season.
The majority of the animals were in
the woods, butt remained for William
~. Clark, a track walker on the railroad
between Mount Holly and Hartford, to
discover the largest deer tracks that
were ever seen. With his eyes ex-
tended and his head full of the won
derful things he had noticed William
| told his fellow workmen how he had
seen tracks of very large deer in the
neighborhood of Hartford. The ground
showed signs Of struggle and a mix
up, end the deer, in its anxiety anC
hurry to get out of the way of danger
had knocked some rails off of fence
Immediately some hunters went to
look the ground over and to lay PLAN
for the capture of this famous animal
They found everything that William
had reported, but they also discovered
one thing he had overlooked, and tina
was that the deer wore shoes. On look
ling closely into the matter it was foun,
that there had been a brush fire in TIL
neighborhood, and that the suppose
deer had knocked the rail off the fenc
in an effort to fight the flames.

Community Welfare

A meeting of citizens was held on
Friday evening, at Kelsey & KilIie's
office, to hear an outline of the pro.
posed community uplift movement
that the Chautauqua Association Offers
to towns on it's circuit.
John A. Dunaway, representing the
association, explained that the move
ment required that an inventory of the
town be made to ascertain it's standing
in four respects-first, health and hy-
giene; second, education; third, recrea-
ton; fourth, business.
A careful study of this inventory
and by comparison with that of other
communities it can be learned how
each of the four classiications can be
improved.
The entire question was discussed in
formally, but no committees were ap-
pointed to begin the work. 1t was de-
cided to hold a public meeting at the
court house next Friday evening, when
action will be taken to begin the move
ment in Mount Holly. All persons in
terested in the welfare of the town are
invited to attend.

Banquet to Ball Players.

The players composing the 1915
Mount Holly base ball team were giver
banquet, on Saturday night, at the
Elks' Home, by the management anC
principal financial hackers of the club
Covers were laid for thirty diners.
The large dining room was prettily
decorated with flowers and the clut
colors, red apd black.
A handsome souvenir booklet, en-
titled "Base Ball History, 1916" was
presented to each person in attendance
1t contained list of the players and
officers, scores of games, batting and
fielding averages, and menu of the
dinner.
The team has a remarkably fine
record. OF the q games played, only
one was lost and there was one tie
Seven of the contests went to extra in
nings, one being II innings, when the
Fourth Street team was here on August
9Th. Much of the success of the team
was due to the pitcher, Charles S.
Forbes, who occupied the box "a of the
% games played.
The manager, Morris K. Perinchief,
was given much praise for the excel
lent results obtained by the club, and
all present expressed the hope that he
will again be at the helm next year.

Court.

On Tuesday Judge LlppincOtt listen
ed to the case of +. w. Tunnel & Co.
against Lewis Yerkes. This was 10 re-
cover $685. on a book account. Mr..
Yerkes could not very well dispute the
claim, so after short argument a set
Element was effected by the payment
of $500, the difference in amounts be-
ing an offset for $50 which the claim
ants allowed.
After the Tunnel case had beer set
aside the court took up the suit of Gus
tava Peterson against Pater Yates, of
Tabernacle, for defamation of charace-
ter. Yates had charged Mrs. Peterson
with stealing chickens. The matter
was taken before two grand juries and
was ignored in each instance. Then
the woman thought she would try to
recover damages but there were some
technicalities in the way and a non
suit was granted but the matter will
come up later.
On Thursday jury was called to
hear a property claim proposition.
About twenty years ago judgment
was obtained against Stacy l.. Lippin-
colt, a farmer of this county, and a
levy was made on property which it
was subsequently discovered belonged
to the wife. A claim was made to
have her rights restored and to have
| the judgment set aside so far as she
was concerned and the jury SO decided.
This action was taken because the 20
years limit on the execution was about
to expire.
On Friday John Rahilly was brought
into court for violation of his proba-
ton. The term on which he was
placed under the charge of Mr.. Slaugh-
ter would expire on Thursday. When
John was allowed by the court to de-
part he was distinctly told that he
must refrain from the use of intoxicat-
ing liquor. He evidently thought this
was mere matter of form for he fell
into his old habits, so he was brought
into court on Friday and Judge Lip
pincott sent him to the county jail fol
six months.
On Saturday evidence was taken on
the necessity for granting license fol
Birmingham Inn. Several witnesses
were examined and they told that tht
place is q summer resort and that they
had seen many boarders there in tbs
summer but not many around during
the other months. 1t was not shown
that there was any need of the plac,
for public gatherings or to accommo
date the travelling public SO Judg
Lippincott declined to grant tn
license.

The Democratic Parade

The Democrats made their automo-
bile trip through the county yesterday
and by the time they reached Lumber
ton, which was near the end of the ride
they were either so full of enthusiasm or
something else that they threw discre-
ton to the winds and the impression
left in the little town was not one to
inspire confidence in the party that
was seeking support.
When the automobiles stopped near
the factory the employees, looked from
the doors and windows and one of the
girls working in the place asked a
member of the travelling crowd for a
flag. Another member said: elbow
YOUR nose on it and she won't want
it" The young man did as was sug-
gested and that aroused the wrath OF
an old soldier who stood in the crowd.
Pushing his way towards candidate
Wittpenn the veteran Indignantly pro-
tested against the insult to the colors
he had fought for and the talk he
handed out to Mr.. Wittpen was suffi-
cient to make that gentleman take
notice for he did all in his power to
soothe the ruffied feelings Of the old
soldier, at the same time winking in a
mocking manner to those aronnd him
An attempt was made later to show
that the fellow who used the flag for a
handkerchief did not belong to the
caravan, but he did.
This was not all. Rev. w. E. Tim
norman, who is one of the very active
members of several patriotic societies
asked Senator MARITIME to explain his
vote on the immigration bill. MARITIME
with all the pompOsity that marks his
every move, said he would soon settle
| that,and he mounted an automobile
and made one of those speeches tina
have characterized his movements il
the Senate and made him a laughing
stock. When he had concluded Rev
Mr.. Zimmerman told the speaker tina
he had talked great deal but had no
answered the question. MARITIME re
fused to give a definite reply but in
K sisted on dealing in generalities anC
| the matter was thus left, but it is prob
able that Mr.. Zimmerman will tall
very decidedly to his fellow-member
in the patriotic societies. The difference
between MIR. Zimmerman and Martin
lis that when the preacher gets il
earnest he strikes out from the shoulde
and backs his words with facts, Will
MARITIME lodges ell around, swells uI
and says: MY name is MARITIME, / an
the United States Senator from NeV
| Jersey" And New Jersey has ever
reason to feel ashamed of this state {
affairs. But it will not be for long
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen is going I
change the situation and if we are nc
mistaken he will be the highest ma
! on the Republican ticket in Novembt
and the other Republican candidate
will be close to him.

Political Notes

. AT a meeting of the Burlington
County Republican Executive Com
mittee, Saturday, Joseph c. Kingdom
was elected a member to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Robert
Myers.
President Wilson supported Villa,
then laid down to Carranza; he allowed
Germany to bluff him, and took Eng
lands Sass" What would youse have
done?-Philadelphia Inquirer.
Do it now, Mr.. Wilson! Do not
use fine words about what somebody
else ought to do in the future or would
have done in the past, in order to cover
your own shameful abandonment of
duty in the present.
"Hurrah for Wilson, shouted some
one in the presence of Roosevelt when
1.-THE latter was speaking to an enthus-
iastic crowd. And this is what the
heckler got in return: That's right,
cheer for Woodrow Then, you with
the spirit of cowardice in your heart,
cheer also for the murdered babies on
the Lusitania; cheer for the murdered
men and women in. Mexicol Cheer for
Boyd and Adair, murdered in the
presence of their troopers at Carrizal!
That's the cheer for a man who is too
proud to fight. +"
An enthusiastic Democrat and hotel
keeper in this county is so sanguine
that everything is all over but the
shouting, is said to be willing to be
some of his good money that Wittpenn
will carry New Jersey by $4,000 ma
jority, and that Burlington county
will give q majority for the entire
Democratic ticket. Possibly he only
means this for the nominees for Presi
dent, Vice President and Governor
Or possibly he will not mean that wher
the cold cash is placed under his nose
Because he was nominated withou
opposition and is running in a distric
: that is very strongly Republican is nj
reason why Congressman Isaac Bach
2 arach should not receive every vot
that can be cast for him on election
day. The Second District has neye
been better represented than it has b,
Mr.. Bacharach. One of his best trait
: was the promptness with which he n
sponded to all demands upon him fC
y information or anything connecte
II with his office. Indeed he did not sto
there but he was careful to see tina
4 his constituents were kept supple
a with pamphlets and reading materiI
# that would be of benefit to them. I
farming communities he sent man
pamphlets that were of value to thoi
2 who received them and the farmers e
e pecially in Burlington county, wi
l. show their appreciation of the Co
gressman's good work by casting
h vote for him. We predict large M
ID jority for Congressman Bacharach
D. the Second Congressional District al
1T Burlington county will do its part
the good work.
