Better to Give Than to Receive.

Go forth into the busy world and
love it, interest yourself in it's life;
mingle kindly with it's joys and sor-
rows; try what you can do for men
rather than what you can make them
do for you, and you will know what
it is to have men yours, better than if
you were their king or master.-Brook

Optimistic Thought.

1t is not the eye for faults, but beau
ties, that constitutes the real critic.
The Mount Holly news., 1917-12-04

l do not think the aeroplane will
supplant the steamship and railroad as
a mail carrier because 1t will be too
expensive. 1t would take a very large
number of flying machines, perhaps a
hundred, to carry as much mail as we
now get into a mail car. You can cas-
fly figure how this would increase the
expense. 1t will have the same advan-
tage In carrying mails as In carrying
passengers, and that is speed. This
statement also needs some Qualifca-
ton, for when 1t comes to quick COM
munication the aeroplane can never
supplant the telegraph and the tele-
phone. But we shall probably have q
special rapid mail service by aeroplane,
for which we shall pay higher price
and buy special stamp. The flying
machine will give ten hour service
between New York and Chicago and a
two day service from the Atlantic to
the Pacific-Orville Wright in Har-
per's Magazine.

Terrible Grade Accident

There was q terrible accident near
Pennington, early Tuesday morning,
In which two well-known young men
OF this county lost their lives.
Walter, son Of Arthur Prickist, and
Charles, son OF William D. Cowper-
thwait, who live near Medford. The
young men had started for a pleasure
trip with Syracuse as their destination
When they reached point near Flem-
ington where the road crosses the Le-
high Valley railroad their car WAS
struck by freight train and the auto
mobile they were in was hurled several
feet. When they were reached by a
rescuing party both men were uncon-
scious. They were rushed to hospi-
cal In Easton, Pa, but Prickitt was
dead when he got there. His body
was Immediately sent to morgue on
the New Jersey side which made it
easy for it to be brought home. Cow
psrthwait had one leg broken and his
skull was crushed, and he did not live
long.
The parents OF the unfortunate young
men hurried to Phillipsburg and took
charge of the bodies. The automobile
in which the deceased were riding was
q Ford car and the stories that the
men were racing with the railroad train
are pronounced to be unfounded.
This accident has caused gloom
over the entire community where the
Young men were well known and were
highly respected. The accident is an
extremely hard blow to the parents OF
Prickitt. But few weeks ago their
daughter died after surgical opera
tion.
The funerals Of the two young men
occurred Saturday afternoon. services
being held In the Friends Meeting
House, in Medford, at the same hour.
The gathering at this double funeral
was the largest that has been seen in
Mediord for long time.

A Correction


On November 13, THE NEWS pub
lished an article referring to the con-
struction work at Camp Dix. 1t seems
that we unintentionally created the
wrong impression. and there was not
any intention Of saying anything that
would reflect upon the firm that has
been doing the work at the camp.
They have written letter on the sub
jsct, which we very cheerfully publish.

Gentlemen:-Our attention has been
called to the fact that in your issue OF
November 18th, you published the fol-
lowing:
at ID reported that Irwin & Leighton
have been relieved OF further construc
tion work at Camp Dix, and that the
J. 8. Rogers Company of Moorestown
will do the balance OF the building
necessary TO complete the camp.
For your Information we would say
that it is the practice Of the govern
ment In the new NanOnAi army can
tonments, on the completion OF th'
work which is being done by the gen
pral contractors under the direction o
the construction quartermaster to turn
the camp over to the camp quarter
master in charge Of each particuia
cantonment. The camp quartermas
ters employ whomsoever they see d
for such alterations, additions or repai
work as they may determine necessary
We long since completed our origina
contract work and have now abou
completed the alterations and add
tions subsequently ordered by the gov
eminent. There is no connection
whatever between the work we are dc
ing under the constructing quartet
master and the work Of any other cor
tractor who may be employed in va
ious capacities around the camp by th
camp quartermaster.
We ask that you correct the stat
ment above quoted which you made
your issue of November 18th, giyin
proper publicity to your correction.
Yours very truly,

Political Notes.

The Republican members OF the
Board OF Freeholders held aconference,
Saturday afternoon. After long dis
cussion the following slate was decided
upon to be presented to the Republi-
can caucus at the January meeting:
Director, Charles E. Joyce, Vincen-
town; clerk, Harry Hawkins, Jr.,
Mount Holly; county collector, War
rem C. Pine, Riverside; prison physi-
clan, DIR. Elmer d. Prickitt, Mount
Holly; almshouse physician. DR..
Charles b. Sitgreaves. Pemberton;sup-
srintendent OF insane asylum, G..
Clarence Deacon, Pemberton; solicitor,
Robert Peacock, Florence; county EN-
gineer, james Logan, Mount Holly;
keeper OF court house. John w. Shinn,
Mount Holly; superintendent of burial
of soldiers and sailors, John Throck
morton, ST., Mount Holly. The MIR
ror was awarded the printing of the
monthly report of the county collector,
and the auditors report was given to
the. Burlington Enterprise. 1t was
also decided to elect DR.. Clifford Haines
OF vincsntown, as physician to the in
sane asylum. but this will probably
have to lie over for awhile as DIR. Longs
dorf was given the position q year ago
for the term OF two years.
While the majority ruled the confer
sncs Of the Republican members of the
Board Of Freeholders. Saturday, it is
said there is not complete satisfaction
over the result and there may be some
changes when the Board meets in Jan.
uary. Five members were absent from
the conference. Two or three Demo
Gratis who have been in service for some
time profess to have assurances that
they will be retained when the test
vote comes. In order to secure this re
suit 1t will be necessary to have three
Republicans change. Whether they
can be obtained remains to be seen
The Democratic aspirants base theiI
hopes on the ground that, their party
having given the Republicans all but
three OF the offices during the last fou
years, il would not be out of the way
for reciprocation.
The Democratic county association
met on Saturday and elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, William T.
Kirk, Beverly; vice president, Reeve
Stewart, Mount Holly; secretary, Will
liam A. Slaughter, Mount Holly; treas
ursr, Francis II. Reed, Mount Holly;
executive committee, for three years,
E. C. Benyuard, Moorestown; Irven
Kollo, Riverside; Elmer E. Bogue,

cd TO membership on the executive
committee for two years to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Edwin
