ON ANNEXATION

BY Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOI, teb. 20.-South
Amboy'S annexation plans received a
decided set back when the Chamber of
Commerce with their engineer and
che committee Of the Common Council
appeared before the governing body
of Sayreville.
Ex-senator D. c. Chase, who is
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, explained the object of the
visit, declaring that the reason South
Amboy wanted to expand was the
fact hat she a no room within the
city proper for additional manufac-
turers. Mr.. Chase stated that he did
not think That South Amboy was ask
ing too much as the land in question
once was a part of South Amboy.
Charles Safran spoke along similar
lines.
Engineer A. T. McMicbales placed
before the board a map OF Middlesex
county In which was shown parts of
the borough hat South Amboy desires
TO annex. The assessed valuation on
this land amounts to about $125.000
end this, said Mr.. McMichales. would
be a small item in comparison to the
area n the manufacturers in Sayre-
Vile.
A number of pre- Anrty owners OF
S~Ielro5e were present, among them be-
ing Eugene Forman, who said that he
was satisfied to remain in Sayreville.
He said South Amboy had no in
ducements to offer. He declared hat
tho rest of the property n feel
the same way and he presented a Pc
tition to the council signed by nuarly
fifty taxpayers of the Melrose section.
Harry Davis was another speaker in
opposition. He wanted to know why
s~ayreville could not get these manu-
Tacturers as well az South Amboy.
NJ
Mechanicsville section was another
objector.
II am opposed to annexing any
part of S~ayreville to South Amboy,"
eaid Councilman Hartman, of Sayre-
vile. He stated that he expressed the
opinion of the other members of the
council and did NOT see why Sayre-
willie could not get the industries as
well as South Amboy. Mayor QUAD
said that this was a matter Of great
importance to the newly formed bor-
ough and he wished to have it laid
over for further consideration.
In conversation with the engineer
st developed that Melrose was seven
miles from the proposed source OF
the municipal water plant of Sayre-
Vile. There are approximately two
hundred persons living in this sec
ton of Sayreville. The average on
sumption of water would be but one
thousand gallons per day. He main
famed that the borough Of Sayreville
cannot supply this section of the Dor
ough with water with a profit and
therefore does not intend to do so.
In addition to this there will be an
other separate line to Morgan with
about the same conditions. 1t has
been estimated that the cost of lay
Ing water mains and installing pump
ing station would be about three mil
lion dollars. This in addition to the
laying of sanitary sewer system will
mean a great expenditure of money.
The South Amboy Chamber will
continue to work on the project.

MURDER MAY RESULT
FROM Recent FIGHT

The condition of Eva Chenault, as
saulted Wednesday night during a
troublesome scene in the east end and
participated in by a number of color
ed men and women, is slightly i'm
proved at the Pattie A. Clay hospi-
tai. Should the woman recover suffi-
GENTLY to tell it, she will be pressed
for particulars of the incident, which
is reported to have been very eXcit-
ing for some time.
The woman was struck in the head
with u hammer and Drs. Jasper and
o. F. Hume extracted a quantity of
brain matter, the skull having been
crushed. She has not bee nable tC
state who assaulted her. However, 2
number of colored men have been
placed in custody and are being held
pending the outcome of the woman's
injuries. Chief of Police Devore is
Of onpinion that a number of other

ficiently injured to be taken to the
hospital, and a thorough investiga-
ton will be made if the hospital pa

MORE RAIN SPELLS,
TOBACCO DAMAGE

The continued rain of Friday is
said to have marked practically the
close of the late tobacco, since it will
not pay to handle much of it, as a
result of the additional work necessi-
tated after the weed has been again
subjected to saturation.
Some have failed to cut their later
Tobacco and are taking a chance on its
being ripe enough later on, should ii
escape the frost which is bound tc
come sooner OF later. However, there
is some on sticks, said to represent
a large percentage, as result of the
recent fair weather, which will be
greatly damaged by the rain of Fri
day. Indications are that the CROP
for this year is pretty well represent
ed by the quantity now in the shed.
In this case, there will be a decided
decrease in the output, since there is
much standing besides what is stakeo
in the fields. Some farmers are pre-
pairing to sow turnip seed on the
ground vacated by the tobacco, saying
they will realize a sure crop of tur.
nips and a little gain for the crop
which needs no attention after being
sowed until time for harvesting.

OFFERS
$4,000 FOR Big RACE

Lexington, KY, Sept. 24-Fcr a
three-cornered race between Man O.
War, threa-year-old; Sir Barton, d,
and Extern1inator, 5, General Mana
ger Matt j. Winn, of hte Kentucky
ockey Ciup, last might offered $4,000
and a gold c1p to cost $4,000.
The owners of the respective horses
are to agree upon the conditions with
the stipulation that the distance is to
be at least one mile and a quarter;
that it be iH,n in Kentucky, and if the
owners :tgrae to race at Latonia, that
the date De close enough to the deci-
sion of the La.tonia Championship to
enable visitors from afar to see both
events. There is also the proviso
that if the horses meet at Kenilworth
the offere is void.
The race would not be wanted in
Kentucky if Man O. War and Sir Bar
ton meet in Canada, but Manager
Winn is sanguine that Kenilworth's S
offer of $4,000 has not been accepted,
for he says he was assured by Guy
Bidwell, trainer of Sir Barton, when
he (Winn) began negotiations that
he would have the last say in any
competition that might develop for
the great match.

SWINEBR0kl'S JERSEY
SALE ON SATURDAY

On account of other business inter
estS, Col. G.. B. Swinebroad, the wide
ly known real estate man of Lancas-
ter, will sell at auction Saturday,
September 25th, his entire herd of
30 fine registered Jerseys at Lam
caster in Garrard county. Jersey
cattle breeding is a hobby of Col.
Swinebroad and for twenty years he
has taken pride in keeping the best.
His present herd is the result of years
of careful selection and breeding and
this is an opportunity seldom offered
to procure heavy mill1ers-rich in
butter fat and of a true type. AS the
entire herd will be sold chance will
be given prospective buyers to get
foundation stock. Among them are
Ia COWS, 18 heifers and bulls
Dairy cows, it is said, pay better
than growing tobacco, and it is hoped
that farmers Of this section will not
let buyers out of the state get these
fine Jerseys of Col. Swinebroad. The
only reason he is selling them is be-
cause of business interests which
prevent his giving personal attention
to them.
! A lot of mules and other stock will
be sold in the forenoon and the Jer-
seys sold just after lunch. Don't for
get this sale. Be at Lancaster next

Lancaster RecordD

The big Jersey dispersal sale of G.
B. Swinebroad will take place at his
residence on the Danville pike next
Saturday at noon.
At 1870 lunch will be served and
the sale will start promptly after
wards.
Forty head consisting of his entire
herd, will be sold to the highest and
best bidder. This herd has a national
reputation and many from distance
are expected to attend.
Our Garrard county people should
not miss the opportunity which will
be offered them at this sale, to buy
some of the finest Jerseys in Ken
lucky We all know that for twenty
years Mr.. Swinebroad has owned the
best Jersies in the county, and we
should not let buyers from other
states take these cows and heifers
from US.
Dairy cows are getting scarce and
if the young bulls and the cows and
heifers of Swinebroad's herd were
scattered over this county it would
be the best thing that ever happened
to the stock and dairy interests of
this community.
