OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY
To Be Moved to the Tetley Building
Business People Give Pledges
for Current Expenses

AT meeting called last Saturday
by some of those interested in the
Public Library, the question of loca-
tion was considered Owing to the
fact that there will be no supervision
in the High School building, where
the library is now housed, during the
summer, the necessity to place it and
the reading room in a more central
part of the town faced them, and with
it the question of raising money to
carry out the idea.
This meeting was attended by rep
resentatives of the various educa-
tional, philanthropic, social and re-
ligious organizations, and $55 was at
once pledged. Of course this was on
ly starter, and number of the wo-
men volunteered to make house to
house canvass to collect money and
stir up an interest in the Library.
Mayor Mckinney was seen by the
Secretary of the Library, Mrs. M. P.
Cayce, and with his broad insight in
to the needs of the town, he at once
took a lively interest in the move
ment and started to work at once
He selected A. S. Davis of the Farm
ington Mercantile Company and Bar
ney Petty of Pelty's Book Store, to
assist him in presenting the matter
to the business people of the town,
with the result that up to this time
they have secured pledges to the
amount of $500. This money is to be
used for current expenses. 1t will take
considerably more than an annual
pledge of this amount to secure the
success of this laudable enterprise.
Those making pledges of monthly
payments are M. P. Cayce, E. J. &c
Kinney, W. M. Harlan, A. S. Davis,
Barney Petty, w. r. Lang, J. ]. Rob-
erts, L. H. Williams, Morris Bros, ].

superintendent assure them that they
have an ore body of not less than one
and half million dollars ($1, ,500,000)
in value, and that from all indications
as to surrounding properties and drill
developments their property is worth
several times that value They have
arranged to Immediately sink three
shafts and construct a mill.
Would you like to buy some stock
in this company? Nothing doing.
These gentlemen propose holding on
to all the stock and developing the
mines themselves. They have ar
ranged all the preliminary work, and
from present prospects it will not be
long before they will be hauling the
lead and "jack" out of the ground by
tons. Well, success to them. Next
to making millions ourselves we like
to see somebody else making them,
especially when they are home people
and good friends.

1t would really take about $700 or
$500 year to pay the rent of
suitable room, janitor and libra
rian, for the room should be kept open
at all times as reading and rest
room. The City Council has gener-
ously agreed to furnish the water and
lights free. 1t would easily be worth
the price, and there ought not to be
any trouble to raise that amount. The
Library will have to get along with
less if that amount cannot be raised,
but we believe it can. Those inter-
ested in the Library project, which
will be of great and lasting benefit to
the community, are much encouraged
over the interest taken and the pro-
gress made.
A first-foor room in the Tetley
building-an ideal place for the Lii
brary-has been optioned, and will
doubtless be taken for the purpose.
Pennington should be on the list of
libraried towns in the State. All that
is needed to place it in that list is
the full cooperation of its people
long pull, strong pull and pull
together. We have confidence enough
in their pluck 70 say they will do it.

From a Former

different offices before the Democratic
primary that the candidates are all
good men. If were voter there it
would be hard picking for me to make
my choice. But you have one candi-
date that | can speak out for, and
that is the Hon. John L. Bradley. He
is the true working mans friend, and
| can safely say that the Unions of
all trades will stand by him. / am
saying naught against any of his op-
ponents, but John L. Bradley is the
man for the Office and the strongest

deliver surprise TO the leaders OF
that party at the coming election. ac-
cordfng to several prominent resi-
dents and business men Of that nun

NAL representative.
The normal standing of this nun

these men," and. while usually
around 200. Il has been known to get
as low as 80 majority. For two very
potent reasons. in combination. there
lis every reason to believe that ttiis
wear there will be quite a decided
gain for the Republican ticket
Taking those reasons in the order
of their importance and weight with
the people here. the main one is the
decidedly strong popularity of the
candidates at the head of the Repuh-
lican ticket. Senator DUPONT, Con
gressman Miller. and John G. Town
send. Jr. arc popular in this section
of Sussex county. Each OF them. and
the rest Of the candidates on
the ticket will receive the en-
tire registered strength Of the Re.
nublicans I'm this district and that OF
many OF the Democrats.
The second reason rs that many
Democrats in this section arc still
stirred over the operations of some
of their leaders in connection with
the recent fight they had here for the
Senatorial nomination. There were
statements made and things done by
each side which the supporters OF
the other candidates openly stated at
that time-and ever since then -
would cost the party votes in plenty
when election time rolled around
And that time is almost here, and
there has been much bitterness still
in evidence. They find it particularly
easy 10 crafty their vengeance for
their treatment by their own party
opponents. because OF hhe fact that
good strong men are on the Republic
can ticket and by voting II. they will
be in the position Of paying their
debt OF revenge.
AS to the effect Of third party on
the chances Of success for the Repub-
! lican ticket. you may he sure that il
will have but very little effect in this
district. There are not enough oil
them to make any difference in the
vote. which will be received by Sena
tor dupont and the rest of the can
didaies of the party. I do not know
OF a single Republican who will GU

the Democrats outright. in this cleo
ton district.
But perhaps the most importan
thing that has happened for the ben
eft Of the Republican party in thi
State. insofar as it affects this en-
Of the State. and 7 am sure that yol
