WOOD LEADING IN
new JERSEY FIGHT
Democratic "Big Four" Headed by
Governor Edwards Elected
Governor Cox Unopposed
in Home State.

Newark, April 28.-Returns from
1,115 out of zoos election districts
in New Jerseys presidential prefer
ence primary this morning placed Ma
jon Gen. Leonard Wood slightly in
the lead over Senator Hiram john
son, of California. The vote was:
Johnson, 24,163; Wood, 25,320.
\ In the fight for the Republican "big
{}our" returns from $40 districts
Showed that United States Senators
Walter e. Edge and Joseph S. Freling-
huysen, pledged to the choice of voters
as expressed at the primary, were
running close race for the head of
the ticket, with former Governor Ed
ward S. Stokes pledged to Gen. Wood,
and Mulford l.. Ballard, pledged to
Senator Johnson, following in that
order.
Isaac H. Nutter and Sylvester L..
Corrothcrs, unpledged negro candi-
dates, apparently were out of the run
ming as candidates for delegates at
large with only 2,O22 and !, 1,668 votes,
respectively. They said they entered
the contest because the Republican
State organization refused their race
a representative on the regular slate
The Democratic "big four" pledged
to the candidacy of Gov Edward T.
Edwards, who has announced that he
would carry his fight against prohibi-
tion into the San Francisco conven-
ton, was elected without opposition.
1t consists of Governor Edwards,
James r. Nugent, Essex County Dem
ocratic leader, who was a candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination
against Edwards; Mayor Frank Hague
of Jersey City, and Mayor Frederick
w. Donnelly, OF Trenton.
Democratic voters were not asked
to express any direct presidential
preference, no presidential candidates
names being printed on the ballot.
There were three Democratic districts
contests but they were purely local
in character and had not bearing on
the presidential situation.

CLEAN UP NOW

Council has determined that hereafter the health
ordinances of the town shall be enforced to the
letter, and with this end in view has fixed Friday
way i4th, as the day upon which the entire town
shall be inspected
am charged by Council and the law with seeing
that the town is kept clean, and I want to assure
our citizens that this inspection on May 14th be-
ginning at 9 A. NJ. will not be perf,mctorv hit
will be real inspection
Furthermore, an inspection from May 18th to
October 18th will be made every two weeks and
thereafter monthly until March 1st 1921 when
blmonthly inspections will be resumed again
particular attention will be paid to the following
matters:
(a) All paper, rubbish tin cans and filth Of
every kind must be removed
(b) Privies must be carefully looked after In
TINS Connection attention of every person on sewer
line is called to ordinance recurring connection
with town sewer by December lst next Don't
put this off until last minute for it will be ex-
tremey difficult to escape penalty after this warn
ing.
(c) Hog pens must be of proper dimensions
and located as required, and will be frequently in
spected to see that they are kept Clean
(d) All dsinfectant left with you must be used
and not left upon premises.
(e) lhls clean up applies not on y to residential
property but to all lots in rear of stores or other
places of business, and occupants of property,
Whether owners or renters, will be held respon-
sble for any violation of health ordinances Where
any property is vacant the owner will be held ac-
cOuntabe.
Itcan readily be seen that the town cannot. with
other pressing work get the accumulated trash etc.
out OF the way by May 14th so this removal will
have to be done by the individuals concerned, but
thereafter we hope to be able to provide for the re-
moval of all matter placed in receptacles for town
cart or wagon to remove.
The Council asks the support of every good citi-
zen IN getting and keeping the town clean

BRADHAN DUROC farm
BUYS fine DUROC BOAR

Mr.. j. I. Bradham, of Bradham
Duloc Farm, of Manning, South Csrc-
lima, just recently returned from a
trip up through Ohio, where he pur-
chased one Of the greatest Duroc sires
of the famous Ira jackson herd, at
Tippecanoe City.
Mr.. Bradham is one of the live wire
Duroc breeders of South Carolina, who
during the past few years has been
developing a magnificent herd of an
extremely popular combination of
blood lines, which is winning for
Bradham Duroc Farm an enviablc rep
utation.
When Mr.. Bmdham went out to buy
a boar whose type, individuality and
breeding would blend we'll with his
herd and another great individual
Fancy Orion Chief whom he has been
using, there is no question but what
he secured the last W ID in Duroc
breeding when he bought Jacks Friend
7th to head one of the great Duroc
herds of the Southeast.
Jacks Friend 7th was the first prize
under year boar pig at the 1918 In
ternational Live Stock Show and was
fourth in class as senior ycarling at
the National Swine Show last year.
He is of the big husky type that is
being demanded by the most descrim-
mating breeders. He is an Orion
Cherry King boar on tho dam side and
was sired by Col. Jack, he by Waits
Top COL, giving this boar a combina-
tion of blood lines that cannot be beat.
Ira Jackson said there was never
better breeding boar shipped across
the Ohio River, and we believe he ac
tually thinks, so, for the reason that
in his last sale, Jacks Friend 7th was
mated to a number of his very best
female individuals. The yearling
gifts bred to Jacks Friend 7th, sold
in Jackson's sale for $350O and the
next one sold for $4,000 bred to the
same boar. In fact, most all of the
tops in this sale were bred to this
great individual.
In commenting on this boar Ira
jackson had the following to say con-
cerning him: "It is noted fact that
all really good boars Are the produce
of good dams. I do not need to tell
you what Orion Cherry King sows are
like. From very close analysis of
this breeding, would say, here is the
place to get your big outstanding
sows. Col. Jack was by Waits Top
Col, one of the best show sires known
to the breed and Mortin's Top Col.
was one of the greatest Duroc boars
of his day. Jacks Friend 7th has
wonderful bone, very tall and rangyI
with beautiful rainbow back and in
our opinion he will impart great
length and stretch to his get. You
cannot find a better breeding boar
anywhere and the cross is ideal"
Watch The Farmer and Stockman
for the picture of this great boar as
well as the announcement of the Brad
ham Duroc Farm summer sale, as
there is no question but what this
great sire will be frequently heard
from among the best Duroc herds in
the Southeast.
