did some hustling. tackled up pic
lures of their candidates and scat
tered some literature, bat this was
about all. The congressional or
state senatorial race was hardly
ever mentioned, and the voters
cast their votes and no special eff
fort was made, so far as we know,
to influence any one as to how he
should vote.
The race for city magistrate
elected some interest. There we're
three candidates. L. A. Hurt, J.
+ Simmons and w. 4. HALEY, and
they, together with their friends,
did some work, but il a very
quiet and goodsnatured way. The
contest for magistrates and con-
stables for the Eleventh district
also created some interest. For
magistrate four names appeared
on the official ballot, and only three
were to be voted for. The candi-
dates we're j. NJ. Mccormick,
Chud Mebane, w. n. Ward and
N. j. Enochs, two democrats and
two republicans. In the con-
stables race there were three cal
didates and only two to be elected.
The candidates we're T. j. Lank-
ford, W. L. Rust and w. 0.
johnson. Mr.. Rust and Mr.. Lank-
ford are the present officers.
The election opened at 8 o'clock
and closed at 4, but. the ballot was
a long one and it took the officers
some time to count the votes.
Besides the members of the su,
preme court and the court Of civil
appeals, the voters in the various
districts of the state elected twelve
chancellors, eighteen circuit judges,
eighteen encouragement ten as
sistant acknowledgement and eight
criminal judges.
All counties elected county
judges, registers, trustees, circuit
court clerks, county court clerks,
sherlffs, magistrates and constables

EXTEND DRAFT AGE
Congress Will Extend Age Limit
From 10 TO 40

The army general staff and the
administration will ask congress to
extend the draft age to include all
men between the ages of 10 and
40, it was learned Thursday.
Leading members of the house
and senate military affairs com
mlttee have been informed that the
president will favor these limits,
and it is likely that they will be
the ones finally decided on, al
though a number of members
would like to see the maximum
age made 45 instead Of 40.
1t is understood that the army
staff plans for expanding the pres
ent forces of the United States
have all been completed and APP
proved by President Wilson. They
will be sent to the military affairs
committee of both houses just as
soon as congress reconyenes for
regular sessions. The leaders say
that these army plans will be
rushed through without delay in
order to avoid the necessity of
calling into action members of the
deferred classes under present reg
istration.

Carroll county never had as
many elections in one day as was
held 10 the county yesterday. The
regular August election, the re-
publican primary, and the demo-
cratic primary made it necessary
to have three sets of election Of
ficers at each voting place. In adj
dltion to these Mckenzie, Treze-
want, Huntingdon and Hollow
Rock each elected a corporation
magistrate, which required an
other set of officers for each one
Of these places. In Huntingdon

to Trenton Prison

Under Sheriff Tomlin on Tuesday,
December 8, 1918, conveyed Joseph
Jefferson and Cleo Davis, both colored
to the State prison at Trenton, and
since their departure the doors of the
Jail have stood wide open. Court next
Tuesday, December 10th, and not a
prisoner in jail, the first time in two
decades that such q condition has
existed. Sheriff Miller attributes the
lack Of crime in the county to efficiency
of his deputy as a peace officer, mod
estly taking none Of the credit himself.
Seriously, Mr.. Tomlin would make an
ideal sheriff and the party might do
well TO nominate him for that office
next November, in which case his
election would be sure and the county
fortunate.-Couvt House Gazette.
Jefferson and his common law wife,
Cleo Davis, were convicted of Turing
County Detective Robert Poindexter to
Ottens Harbor two years ago and there
assaulting him. For several years
Jefferson was employed on the Austin

Magnolia avenue, Wild wood, died last
Sunday morning after a brief illness.
When stricken with an attack of infu-

held on the porch of the dwelling last
Wednesday afternoon at one O'Clock,
Rev. I. H. Fisher, of the Wildwood
Baptist church, officiating. After a
short address by the pastor followed
by a prayer, the funeral cortege was
formed, and at 1.30 started on its way
to Goshen, where interment of the body
Of the deceased was made in the NJ.
E. cemetery. Owing to Undertaken
Ingersoll's hearse being in a shop for
repairs, he enlisted the aid of Under
taker Foster of South Seaville, who

occasion. Mrs. Gallsher lie survived
by her husband aud two little boys
one 81 years old; and the other less than
2 years; one younger sister, Mrs. John
Costill, of WILDWOOD; her father and
her mother and three younger brothers,
all of Vineland. Mrs. Gallaher's
maiden name was Myers-sometimes
known as "Mylo," which had been the
professional name of her father, once
an ex pert trapeze performer in Ameri-
ca and England. Her disposition was
Of the sunny, golden type and her
cheerful presence will be missed by all
who knew her.
