Four Sales Made Monday.

Monday was salesday here and an
unusually large crowd was in town
for the occasion. The Ehrhardt sec.
ton was especially we'll represented
and numbers of citizens of that town
were present.
Four sales of real estate took
place, the prices varying consider
ably. >Two of the sales covered town
property and two included farm
lands. The sheriff made the first
sale, which was caused by a tax ex-
ecution against five lots in the town
of Denmark. The entire five lots
only brought S144, and were pur-
chased by L. K Mayfeld.
The next judgment sale also made
by the sheriff in the case of the
Ehrhardt Hardware Co. against the
Ehrhardt Warehouse Co. The sale
included a warehouse and lot in
Ehrhardt, and was bid in by Carter &
Carter, attorr eys, for 500.
The two tr;lcts of farm lands were
sold by the Judge of Probate and are
located in the Howell's Old Mill
section. Both sales resulted from
the case of Mrs. Rosa D. Clayton
against J. C. Copeland, ct al. The
first tract sold contained Ga acres,
and was purchased by Mrs. Rosa. d.
Clayton for $500 The other tract
consisting of 100 acres, and was sold
to l.. H. Carter for $2,225.

To Open Poultry Farm.

Bamberg is shortly to have an
industry not only new to this county,
but to this section of the State. Mr..
J. C. Byrd expects to open up a
poultry farm just as soon as he can
purchase desirable location con-
sisting of several acres Of land
somewhere close to town. This farm
will be operated on a very extensive
scale for the purpose of supplying
eggs to wholesale dealers in all the
large nearby towns, such as Char
lesion, Augusta, and Columbia, and,
of course, the local market will be
furnished also.
Mr. Byrd has recently moved here
with his wife, but is an old Bambecg
boy. being a son of the late John A.
Byrd, of this place. About Is years
ago he left here going to the Pacific
coast, and finally located in San
Francisco. While out there he saw
a great deal of the line of business
which he has come to introduce here,
and sees no reason why it should
not prove to be thriving enterprise
in his home town. He states that
poultry farms form considerable
business in the far West and just
at this time, when food pro let's OF
all kinds are becoming potent
factor in the war, it would seem that
this should be rather interesting
Bamberg enterprise.

Monday was salesday here and al
so the first of October bank notes
were due, which brought big crowd
to town and altogether made busy
day for Bamberg. All the merchants
enjoyed a splendid business.
Our soldiers in France cannot buy
American smokes over there, and we
are pleased to note that Bamberg has
contributed the largest amount to

Mr.. HI. Hinnant has moved into
the residence he recently purchased
from Mr.. J. F. Kilgus on New Bridge
street. Mr.. Kilgus and family and
DR.. J. NJ. Love and family, who have
been occupying the residence, have
moved into the cottage vacated by
Mr.. Hinnant.
The banks in this section must
have recently received large supplies
of the dimes, quarters and half dol
lars bearing the new government de-
signs, for there are quantities of the
new pieces in circulation in Bamberg.
In fact, money is apparently more or
less plentiful here now, and is about
the cheapest commodity to be OBJ
tanned in comparison with the pres
ent prices of other articles.
To date approximately 5000 bales
of cotton have been handled on the
local market. This is about the aver
age for this season of the year. Bam-
berg buyers do not speculate, but
offer the full market prices and gen.
orally little better, they state.
About 700 to $4,000 bales are US
ually marketed here in an ordinary
season, and it is expected the num-
ber will reach that figure this season.

Recently Brother George P. White,
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Union was called to its pastorate by
the Baptist church of Bamberg. We
see from a special to the State that
he has accepted and will soon enter
on his new duties. This settles and
settles we'll the problem at Bamberg,
but it leaves vacant one of our best
pastorates. 1t also leaves vacant the
clerkship of the Union association, a

Hotel Men Ohiect

The old theory Of state rights is like
ly to be resorted to by three hotel
keepers OF New Egypt in an attempt
to prevent the United States Govern
ment from enforcing at Camp Dix the
regulation of war that no liquor shall
be sold within radius of five miles OF
any cantonment or mobilization camp
of the Federal government. j. Mercer
Davis has been retained by the hotel
men to attack the constitutionality OF
the five-mile limit regulation, and he
is said to be considering an appli,
cation for an injunction prohibiting
enforcement of the antiliquor rules.
Hotel keepers who are interested in
| the move are Robert ]. Wtllets, pro
prietor of the American House; Charles
E. Parker, proprietor of the Parke
House, and Storey r. Harker, proprie
tor of the Harker Hotel-all New
Egypt establishments with bars.
If this issue is raised by these hote
men they will set up that inasmuch al
New Jersey has granted them tn
privilege of selling liquor, the United
States Government is exceeding it
authority when it attempts to proven
sale of liquor by them because the,
happen to be within a radius OF fiv
miles of Camp Dix, and that to enforc
this prohibition would be an invasion
of state rights. The hotel men are in
clined to concede that the government
has the authority to keep liquor Of
Camp Dix property, and to insist tina
the right of the government to prohit
it the sale Of liquor is confined to tn
actual area embraced in the cantor
ment at Camp Dix.

Court.

The October term of court opened
this morning with Justice Kalisch pre-.
siding. Thomas Lee, of Bordentown
was appointed foreman of the CRANE
jury.
Justice Kalisch, in charging the
grand jury, said his attention haC
been called to the cases of death from
injuries received by persons being
struck by automobiles. These cases
are becoming too frequent and it is
high time that some measures should
be takento stop the reckless driving
of automobiles. The public roads are
fast becoming unfit for travel. If the
testimony the prosecutor of the pleas
will present to the grand jury shows
that death resulting through reckless
driving and to such an extent as to in
dictate wilfulness then the jury is
bound to return an indictment fol
murder.
II, on the other hand, the evidence
shows recklessness, and the circum-
stances do not show wilfulness. then
the duty Of the jury is to indict for
manslaughter. 1t is necessary, il the
intention is to protect the citizens and
keep the roads safe, to take some de-
cided steps that will put an end to the
reckless driving that is too general.
The Justice said he could not see any
difference between the man who takes
a gun, and without any intention of
killing, shoots into a crowd and does
take life, and the driver of an automo-
bile who travels at reckless pace
along roads that he knows are fire.
quented by people.
Justice Kalisch referred to the loco
motive engineers who are required to
pass an examination on eyesight, abil
ity to distinguish colors and other
items before they are allowed to run
an engine, And when they do travel
on the rails they must keep a strict
watch for railroad crossings, ring q bell
or blow whistle. regardless of the fact
that the crossing is guarded by flag
man. The automobile driver knows
that he is required to use extra pre-
caution in approaching railroad cross
ing, and he should be compelled to use
that same precaution in travelling
along the public road.
In one case the railroad engineer
drives at high rate of speed under
rigid rules and with safeguards at
crossings, while many automobiles
tear along at nearly the same speed as
the railroad train apparently without
regard to what may be on the road.
The Justice concluded his charge by
saying that this matter was one of the
most important that could be pre-
scented for consideration and he told
the jurors that it was their duty to
give it the most careful thought and
to carefully consider all the facts
brought to their attention.

work done for the Board of Taxation
last year. Payment of this bill was
refused because the Board of Taxation
had not secured the adoption, in adj
vance of the work being done, OF a
resolution authorizing the expenditure.
Solicitor Davis, who had rendered the
opinion on which the bill was held up,
said he could not see anything to
cause him to change his mind, so the
matter was allowed to stand as it was.
The following work was ordered
done: Repair wood trestle bridge at
Wading River at cost not to exceed
$500, repair Pleasant Mills bridge at
cost not to exceed $500 place new
stringers in sluice road bridge, Bur
lington, at cost not to exceed $3.50; put
new flooring on the bridge over Cross
wicks creek on the road between Bor-
dentown and Trenton in conjunction
with Mercer county, cost not to ex-
coed SIP for Burlington county's half;
raise Knickerbocker bridge near Roeb-
ling to be in poper position for straight
ening of the road by Florence town
ship, cost not to exceed 1928.
The court house and grounds COM
mittee was directed to make an in
ventory of all the furniture, fixtures
and equipment in the county offices.
A resolution was adopted advancing
Il Q salaries of the tenders of the Delan-
CO drawbridge from $40 to $50 per
month. Mr.. Russ said he was having
hard work to hold men on the job.
He had already had one man to quit
his job and others were threatening to
go out. Solicitor Davis said he
thought this matter of engaging
bridge tenders should be given more
careful attention. AS it is now carried
on the tenders have everything their
own way. Mr.. Davis was of the opin-
ion that they ought to be required to
give bond to faithfully perform their
duties for the term engaged and at the
salary they agreed to do the work.

Disorder Was Absent

Mount Holly was visited by a con-
siderable number of soldiers and work
men from Camp Dix on Saturday af-
ternoon and night, in addition to the
usual number of rural visitors. The
streets were crowded, but there was
very little disorder.
Three extra policemen were on duty,
which partly may have accounted for
the good order that prevailed, but there
seemed to be no disposition on the
part Of the visitors to create disturb
ance.
Early in the day all the hotel keepers
received a notice from Judge Lippin-
colt to dispense with the sale of liquor
in bottles, and the wholesale house OF
George l.. Garwood was ordered to
close at six o'clock in the evening.
These orders were obeyed, and nc
doubt had a tendency to minimize
drunkenness in the streets.
The courts order practically revokes
the wholesale licenses of the hote
keepers, as it is a permanent order
Hereafter all intoxicating drinks can
be sold only over the bar, which gives
the hotel keeper an opportunity to
regulase and prohibit selling to persons
under the influence of liquor.
The order to Garwood prohibits the
sale or delivery of beer, liquors, etc.
except between the hours Of six a. m.
and six p. m.
West Washington street, which was
the scene of disorder the previous Sat
urday night, was very quiet. Foul
policemen were on duty in that dis
trict, with salutary effect.
The indications are that with the re
organized police force and the addition
of three special patrolmen on Satur
days, that Mount Holly will maintain
its reputation as quiet and orderl!

ATTORNEY General TO be Here.

Justice Kalisch has issued an order
directing Attorney General Wescott to
be present and assist in the prosecution
of the three persons in jail charged
with being implicated in the Rider
hold-up and murder near Atsion last
October. The trial probably will take
place on the 29th inst. The prisoners
are Mile Demarco, Frank Ledonne
and Frank Vesella.
The request to have the assistance of
the attorney generals Office in this
case, which is one of importance, was
made last June by Prosecutor Kelsey,
in accordance with the provisions Of
chapter 1874, laws of 1914. Similar re-
quests have been made and granted
when homicide cases have been tried
recently in three other counties in the
state.
One of the men, Giovanni Iraca, il
under death sentence for having beer
implicated in this case. He was sen
fenced to be electrocuted but Governor
Edge reprieved him until October oath
some time after which he will be re
sentenced. In all probability he viii
be used as q witness in the approach
ing trial.
