MAKES ANSWER
T0FREEH0LDERS
Ex-FreehoIder Points to Cost
of Paving Laid by County
Last Year

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. ia
hot reply to the statement issued by
the County Board of Freeholders in
regard to their road program, was
issued today by Frederick Gebhardt,
Sr., of New Brunswick, a former
member of the board and a candi-
date this year for nomination on
the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Gebhardt declares that the
freeholders kept away from the
main point of construction in their
statement yesterday regarding their
road program, that being the high
cost of several roads laid down the
last year. He pointed out that Free
holder George S. Apologize had fos-
tered the Old BriGge-Tanner corner
road, which cost $14S,000 for two
and one-half miles of pavement or
$4,000 per mile, and that Freehold
err Robert V~andenbergh put across
the Ridge road at a cost OF S73,OOO
for one and one-third miles or
$4,000 per mile, while the
turnpike paving cost $4,000 Tor
two and a half miles of pavement
or $4,000 per mile.
The New Brunswick candidate Tor
freebooter alleges, that Freeholde:
Belloff's statement that TINS $ifo'VVV
cost for the Trenton turnpike, IN
Guided a portion of the road laid at
the end of Livingston avenue, IS er-
rcneous. He points out that the plsl
fer this road came through the hands
of a Mr.. Robertson, one OF Mr.. Bell
offs inspectors.

High Cost of Roads

The high cost of the Ridge road,
Mr.. Gebhardt declares, came even IN
spite OF the fact that labor can now
be obtained for thirty cents an hour,
while during Mr.. Gebhardt's reign,
labor was getting sixty cents an
hour. Even under the latter condi-
lions, Nh. Gebhardt points out, the
Easton avenue-George street paving
work was completed for $4,000, a
n and a half mile job.
Waste is blamed by Mr.. Gebhardt
as being responsible for h high
cost of paving work. MI. Gebhardt
states that drainage work on the
George street part Of the Easton
avenue-George street job caused
considerable expense in connection
with this work, and that he was
hindered from laying a good road
because he was compelled to use
an inferior material. He further
declares that he was hindered by
his colleagues whenever possible,
during the course OF paving this
road.
Mr.. Gebhardt declares that he
still holds the voucher of Frank
Mulvey for work which he declares
was practically needless, and which
he refused to pay. Mr.. Gebhardt
states, ''if this work was necessary,
why doesn't Mulvey take action
against the county"

Tended the states cause. 1t is said to
have been one of the strongest and
most fearless pleas ever heard against
a white man for killing a negro by
those present. They say Solicitor
Blackwell did not mince words in his
plea for justice, nor sham off because
poor negro was gone. He could
have easily done so and been as pop
ular, but he fought to uphold the law
and convicted the slayer of an inno-
cent negro. No more could have been
done in New York, Boston or Chica-
90. Better times are coming for the
black man right here in the South,
as he himself does better and proves
an upright and worthy citizen as DID
Rev. Walker. Let us not be so quick
to criticise and find fault on racial
lines. Don't forget we have many
faults of our own, and we have too
many big negro leaders and papers
throwing race frebrands and giving
out the wrong propaganda to our
people. Heed them not. The same
hot heads want your money, and in
many instances rob the negroes
through various channels worse than
the white man. All thanks and honor
to Judge Gary, Solicitor Blackwell,
the jury, court officials and the good
white people of Greenwood county for
their righteous verdict. 1t will teach
other men that they can't, just shoot
down a poor negro in passion, with
a hope of being freed by the courts
composed of white men. Take hope
negroes. and get closer to your white
neighbors. in the mean time obey the
law, do right and exercise common
sense.

Sponge Not Vegetable.

Sponses were long thought to be-
vegetables. but they are new known to
be animals. Their appearance when
they come to the market is so unlike
that of the living sponge that it is
quite to be expected that seeing it only
in use one would hardly suspect its
origin. The sponge grows mostly at
the bottom of the sea on rocks to
which it is fixed by kind of root.
1t is made up of jellylike substance
and a framework of tough tibers. This
framework is really the skeleton OF
the sponge; it is the sponge of com
merce. The skeleton is covered with
a jelly-like substance and is sticky
when taken out of the water. They
are usually buried in the dry sand for
a time until the jelly part decays.
They are then put in wire cages into
the sea until they are washed clean.-

Ware Shoals killed Rev. j. w. Wal

an unwantoned tragedy since Rev.
Walker was known to be quiet and
unoffensive negro. AS reported, the
killing was unprovoked, but most
negroes said, nothing would be done
to the slayer" In the general ses-
sions court in June, the case was
called and the white man was con-
victed by white jury of manslaugh-
ter and sentenced by white judge to
serve seven years in prison for killing
a negro in Greenwood county. Many

He had heard much about bees. His
nearest neighbor was Maj. Frederic
Nance, the first man to build house
in what is now the city of Newberry;
Mai. Nance had bees and his friend
Doctor Todd looked forward to the
time vixen he too might have the good
| luck to possess bees. He went one
! day to plum orchard and as ne
sought the juicy wild fruit among the
thickly growing bushes he discovered
what he thought was swarm OF wild
ibees. He hastened home to inform
| his wife who was also from Ireland, of
the discovery.
"Och, Doctor, dear" she exclaim-
ed, "and how shall we know our bees
from Major Nance's bees?'
"Oeh, child" replied the doctor,
"our bees can be kenned well enough,
they are ba'faced and as white legged
as our. sorrel mare"
yThe good doctor got his neighbor,
Peter Julian, who afterwards was one
of the first magistrates of Newberry,
to help him hive his bees. They made
a faithful effort, but alas! after much
physical suffering they discovered
that they had tried to hive a nest of
hornets.
