Atlantic County. The District Boards
are named in time to receive their
notice of appointment by the LIST of
August, at which time they assume
office. Two Republicans and two
Democrats will be named for each
voting district. Because of the i'm
portance of the election this fall, when
a United States Senator, Governor,
State Senator and other officers are
to be chosen, it is expected that there
will be a large number of applicants
for appointment as District Election
officers. A large number of women
voters are expected to be named on
these district boards this term.

Edward ]. Wood Falls from
Boat Near Harbor Lane
Body Sent Home.

A sad drowning accident occurred
at Somers Point on Saturday after
noon, when Edward J. Wood, of 631
Cedar street, Camden, N. j., fell from
a boat nea Harbor Lane. His body
was recovered a half hour after the
accident. 1t was removed to the par

remains were shipped to Camden for
interment. County Physician Souder

Wood had just come down from his
home on Saturday to visit his friends
at Somers Point over the Fourth of
July. Clad in a bathing suit he went
out in a boat with a boy, a nephew of
former Mayor Crissey. Just how he
happened to fall overheard is not
known. 1t was said by friends that he
could not swim. A number of people
were attracted by the screaming of
the boy who accompanied Wood. They
saw Wood s%plashing in the water, but
he sank before aid could be given
him.
Graphing for the body was immedi
ately started, and after a time the
body was caught around the ankle by
an anchor and cable and hauled to the
surface.
