GRANT NEW TRIAL
IN ACCIDENT CASE

Justice James j. Bergen has
granted a new trial in the case of
Chase Kehrer, of 1872 Market street
against Fred Mott Spengeman, of
Jersey City. On May 1,1919, a jury
in the supreme u found a YER
dict of $500 for Kehrer, in a suit for
damages as a result of Kehrer
being run down by Spengeman's
automobile. The accident occurred
in South Amboy.
In granting the new trial, Justice
Bergen claimed that the expense
incurred by the plaintiff in surgical
treatment alone totaled a larger
sum than allowed by the jury. In
making the plea for the new trial,
Joseph T.. Stricken and Emil
Stremlau representing Kehrer
claimed that inasmuch as the jury
found a verdict in favor of Kehrer,
the blame for the accident was
placed on the defendant. SPENCE
mar is represented by James L.
Pyle.

ATTEMPTS TO MAR GIRLS BEAUTY
Unknown Persons Attempt to Throw
 Acid on Nashville Girls Face.

Nashville, Aug. 4.-One of the most dastardly crimes ever attempted in this city was attempted last Friday night about l o'clock, when some unknown person gained entrance in the room of Miss Tressie Risinger in the Garner Hotel and attempted to pour carbOlic acid in the young ladys face. The feEd evidently was frightened, as the acid missed the young lady's face and saturated her pillow, little getting on her arms and lips. The burn of the acid awakened Miss Risinger and when she called for help the criminal fled
 The officers and the ;Risinger family are at a loss to know what caused any one to make such an attempt, and it is tte common belief tEat some cowardly enemy of the family attempted to dee- troy the beauty of the young lady as a means of punishment to the family.
 Miss Risinger is one of the citys most beautiful and popular young lad ies, and everyone is very indignant ever this base attempt to destroy her beauty.

To The Voters of Little River
 County.

I am informed that in some parts of the county I am being criticised De- cause, in passing of the road bllls i for the county, I did not include per sonal property as a part of the base upon which money might be borrowed for building the improved roads.
 About four hundred road bills were passed in the general" and "cailed sessions of the legislature and not one of them included personal property as a part of the base for borrowing. All made the land as the only base. The supreme court had decided some years ago that it was uncons nstitutional to bind personal property for public improvement: that real estate property alone must be the base upon which bonds may be issued and money bor- rowed for drainage and road improve ment districts.
 Judge J. s. Steel, A. D. DuLaney and Seth c. Reynolds have all informed me that the statement above as to the l2w, are corrects The fact that none of the four hundred or more districts iLcluded rsonal property aught to be conclusive evidence that personal property could not be included to pay the cost of these improvements.
 I believe personal property ought to be. taxed to pay the cost of any public improvements, but before it can be done, the constitution must be changed. It is quite probable that the next legis- lature will take steps to make this change.
 This is a part of the 'propaganda us- ed by one of my opponents against me" in my race for County Treasurer. Any we'll informed and fair-mindod man can readily see the injustice of this criticism
 Now, fellow citizens, I am asking your support in the primary, not by trying to arouse your preiudices against my opponents by misrepres- entations and congregations, but be- cause I feel myself fully qualified to perform the duties of County Treasur- CT; I have taught school in Little River County for thirty-fve years, have served as County Examiner about fifteen years and have spent my whole earnings in rearing a large family and helping with my money and lime to improve the school conditions of the county l know I have been a useful citizen as hundreds of the older and younger people will testify I am too old to bear the responsibility and labor of the school room, and, in
