Much surprise was expressed Thursda,
morning when it announced that Barclay

known that Mr.. Allen had taken his own life
Late Wednesday afternoon he was missed b,
his daughter. at his residence on Cherry stree
and he was finally discovered in the barn. His
throat had been gashed with razor. Medi-
cal aid was at once summoned but it was i'm
possible to save life During the last two or
three years Mr.. Allen had been failing and he
finally became morbid and was of the idea
that he was not wanted around by anybody.

Political Pointers

Already the faithful Democrats are
looking toward future appointments.
There seems to be a general impress
sion that new prosecutor of the pleas
will be appointed but the names of the
applicants for that berth have not been
made public. Of course Mr.. Kelsey
will want to succeed himself and it is
reported that he feels assured of be-
ing chosen but there are others who
insist that he must go. Well, it is not
our fight.
The term of Howard Aaronson
Democratic member of the County
Board of Taxation, will expire next
year, and already there are a number
who are willing to step into his shoes
Among those who have thus far beer
heard from are Frank P Jones, Fran

Thomas C. Shreve, Pemberton. How
many of these gentlemen have giver

not stated but there is no doubt any o
them will be willing to accept the du

Attempted Murder and Robbery

A murder was averted at the farm oil
David Sharp, near Columbus, on Sun.
day, by narrow margin.
That morning a tall man, with a
handkerchief tied over his face as a
mask, entered the kitchen of the farm
house of David Sharp, near Colum-
bus, and confronted Miss Mary A.
Sharp, sister of David, with revol-
yer in his hand, and told her if she
made any noise he would shoot her.
Disregarding the threat, she made a
loud outcry and fled down the cellar
steps. The intruder shot at her, miss
ing her body by about four inches.
Mr.. Sharp, who was lying on couch
in an adjoining room, heard the noise
and opened the communicating door
to make an investigation. At that
moment the intruder, with his arm ex
tended, revolver in hand, started to
enter the other room just as Mr. Sharp
opened the door. Mr.. Sharp slammed
the door shut, pinioning the extended
hand containing the revolver. With
the assistance of his nephew, Irwin
Sharp, of Bordentown, who was ON
visit to the farm house that morning,
the revolver was torn from the hand,
the burglar pulled into the room, and
then terrific fight took place. The
two Sharps had hard task overpower-
ing the intruder. Furniture wat upset
and broken, stove was moved out Of
position, and the room looked as if it
had been struck by a cyclone before
the man was subdued.
In the meantime Miss Sharp rushed
to telephone and got officer Charles
Il. CarclQEo ON tho Tho oHSoor
Immediately secured the use OF an au-
tomobile and arrived at the farm house
just as the culprit was being overpow-
cred. He snapped handouts on the
man and that ended further commo
ton. Carslake brought his prisoner to
the Mount Holly jail. The man gave
the name of L. A. Kelly and said his
home was in Trenton. Later it was
learned that his proper name is FL |
wood Kelly and that his place of resi-
dence is New York city.
After the mask had been torn from |
Kellys face. Mr.. Sharp recognized the |
man as one who had formerly been |
employed on the farm for short time. |
1t is supposed that Kelly knew that |
Mr.. Sharp oftimes keeps considerable |
money in the house and hoped to get |
a rich reward by robbery. He had not |
figured on company being present, as
Mr.. Sharp is usually alone on Sun
day mornings.
Yesterday the prisoner was taken be- |
fore Judge Wells. He pleaded guilty |
to charges of carrying concealed |
weapon and attempted robbery, but
not guilty to assault with intent to
kill. He will be tried ON that charge |
next Friday.
When arrested Kelly had on two
suits of clothes-a civilian suit cover
ing soldiers uniform.

A law passed by the last legislature
provides for an additional employe in
the county clerks Office. Chapter 65
says "The Boards of chosen freehold
ers in counties Of this state are here
by authorized and required to provide
in their annual budget of appropria-
tions, "a judiciary fund from which
shall be paid the salary or compensa-
tion of clerks assigned by the county
clerks assigned by the county clerk
for service in the county courts, not
exceeding one clerk to each court" 1t
will be noticed that the Board of Free
holders is required" to put this item
in the annual budget. During the last
two or three weeks-and there have
been times before that-two courts
have been in continuous session, re-
quiring the presence of two clerks.
Mr.. Mingin has given attention to the
matter in the best way at his COM
mand, but in doing so he was obliged
to let some matters in the Office lie
dormant until he could give them his
attention. The new law seeks to rem
edy this condition and provide for
court clerks that the chief officer may
give his time to his Office duties.

Random Remarks

The statement has been publishe
) that Harry Hawkins, Jr., clerk of tn
Board of Freeholders, does not car
to retain the position. Mr.. Hawkin
says this remark is unauthorized. /
was probably published under tn,
idea that, with the writer, "the wisl
was father to the thought" Harry
declined to sign Runyon petition il
the last campaign and that was
enough for him to incur the enmitv
of the fellow who wants to be at the
top.
The statements that there will be
many oversee men who will seek posi-
tions in municipalities are being
brought forth in different quarters.
undoubtedly with the hope that trou
Bile may be made for some who seeI
office. This is given some foundation
because one of the returned soldiers
has been asked to compete for the Of
fee of clerk to the Board of Freehold
ers on the basis of that record and to
further the desires of one who has it
in for Harry Hawkins, Jr. The young
man declined to pull the chestnuts out
of the fire. There were many men
who went to war, some of them will |
ingly and who enlisted. Others were
drafted and did not shirk and still |
others who were drafted and tried ev-
cry means to escape going across.
The latter class is not entitled to any
because of law that
makes provision for them. The stat
ute, while it says that returned SOL
1iers must be considered does not pro-
vide any penalty for not complying
with its provisions, so the appointing
powers are in position to do just
what they want to in the matter, sub
iect to litigation if the disappointed
ones desire to go to that trouble and
expense.

Sees Republican
Success in 1920

The Republicans will sweep the
country in 1920. in my judgment. and
I believe the vote in tne electoral col
lege will stand: Republicans, 369;
Democratic. 162," remarked Frank T.
Hatcher of Chicago. at the Washing
ton, says the Washington Post
my prediction OF the electoral vote
may seem a little premature. but
believe it is based upon rather sound
foundations. The Democrats will
carry the solid South, with the excep-
ton OF Missouri and Maryland, and in
addition they will carry Oklahoma ard
Arizona certainly. In my computa-
tions have also given them Colo
rado, Nevada and Montana. though
Colorado went Republican in the re-
cent election and Mr.. Taft carried
Montana in 1908 The Republicans
have fighting chance to carry Ken
lucky, and were they 20 take both
Kentucky and Colorado. the Demo-
cratic vote in the electoral college
would be reduced 10 142 votes. or jus;
three more than Parker had in 1904.
These claims may seem extrava-
CANT. but 1t is hard TO see where the
Democrats will get any additional

This country is noramlly over
