BEVERLY BANNER TO HAVE
PICTORIAL SUPPLEMENT-

Realizing that in the rapid adj
vancement made in the methods OF
acquiring information the eye is ac-
corded a prominent place, the Bev-
erly Banner beginning September II
will include pictorial section in its
regular issues.
These pictures, covering events
and places of great interest, will be
an attractive supplement to the Ban
ner. The illustrations will be done
in brown and white and are known
as the Rotogravure process. They
are really works of art and not the
black and whites common to news
paperdom.
This added feature will enhance
the value of the Banner as home
paper, and will make it particularly
interesting to the younger genera
ton. Watch for it. There will be
no change in price.

THOMAS LEE
CONSENTS TO RUN AGAIN

every section of the city that he has
finally consented to permit his name
to be presented at the primary cleo
ton.
Mr.. Lee has always been intensely
interested in the welfare of Beverly
and has been generally accepted as
one of its foremost citizens. He be-
lieves that Beverly has most bril-
liant future not far ahead and that
we are now on the verge of boom
that will quickly carry us out of the
class of "a little country town." He
states that his interest in Beverly to-
day is such that he would feel 81 ty
to stand idly by and permit our flu
ture development to be hampered.
The demand of taxpayers for re-
lief and change in our local gov
eminent is general and with Mr..
Lee known as a champion of low
taxes and lots of action, it is widely
rumored he will easily be the most
popular candidate who has been pre-
scented to the public in many years.
Ii has been learned that Mr.. Lee
will meet some opposition from
several of the present leading city
officials. This he tated he would
gladly welcome for he is well known
to be at his best when under
fire" and never fails to win under
such circumstances. Those in close
contact with the situation believe
that no real opposition will develop
inasmuch as those whom it is rum
ored will run, have nothing to sup
port their candidacy but record
of high taxes and no progress

suicide at his home in Maninhawkin
about two O'Clock Monday morning
Giberson was a brother-inlaw of
County Detective Parker, of Mount
Holly.
Giberson aroused his wife about
two o'clock and asked her to go to
lower floor to get something that
would necessitate her absence for
some little time. Evidently as soon
as she left the room he made rope

had been covered and he committed

Miss Myrtle Archie, colored, of
Philadelphia, who was visiting her

Ex-Mayor Thomas Lee has recent
ly consented to again enter the field
as candidate for Mayor. This has
been verified by the appearance this
week Of numerous petitions bearing
his name.
In order for a candidate to enter
his name for the primaries, it is
necessary to have the signatures of
twenty-five registered voters. 1t is
reported that over two hundred per-
sons have already placed their sig
natures on Mr. Lees petition, while
many more are waiting for an OPP
portunity to do the same.
His intention to run came as a dis
tinct surpfice to most of his friends
who have heard him say that he
would never again run for polite
al office.
But those who have been more
closely acquainted with Mr.. Lees ac-
tivities have known for some time
that he is greatly disappointed with
the record of the present city Off
Gals. He points out that not one
single accomplishment or advance
ment has been achieved during the
past three years although taxes
have been the highest the city has
ever known and with the prospect
of another big jump in the tax rate
for next year.
Ever since Mr.. Lee withdrew from
the political field three years ago he
hiss been constantly urged by his
friends to renew his interest in Bev-
esly, however, he has been pressed
hard by so many taxpayers from

FRANK TEACHERS THE SPY"
WINS sEwELL CUP RACE


The great honor of winning the
Sewell cup race sailed at Barnegat
bay off Seaside Park on Saturday af-
Sernoon, was carried away by Frank
W. Thacher. of Edgewater Park,
With mis- classy craft "The Spy !"
The winner is commodore of the Sea-
side Park Yacht Club and leader
in bay sports there.
The race was one of the greatest
ever sailed on the bay, and for gen
uine thrill and excitement it outdis-
tanced many of its predecessors.
There was a battle against stiff
breeze from the south all afternoon
and before the days program was
finished five small boats had capsiz-
ed During the *Sewell race the
breeze kept increasing and on the
second lap it was doubtful if the
boats could carry their Marconi
rigs to windward. All the boats had
to lug sail and the three leaders
proved that in addition to having
speed they were able to stand up
under stiff blow and face heavy
sea.
"The Spy" was not the outstanding
favorite prior to the race, this pre-
liminary distinction, going to the ia
nous. "Mary Ann" winner of the
Sewell race last year and tall win
ner this season over the same
course. When it was all over this
touted entry from Island Heights
was in third position.
So close was the race that "The
Spy" .nosed out. Famrock, also of
the Seaside Park Club, by only
seventeen seconds. Over the entire
course of thirteen miles there was
excitement. 'The Bat" made quite
showing on the first leg of her
journey, but when she started to
poke her nose on the second round
she couldn't stand the wind, once
narrowly escaping being dumped.
MARY Ann" kept pegging along, but
not once did she look like repeating
last years performance.
But the real race was between
1.-THE Spy" and "Famrock." 1t was
intense when they first came into
view or the last leg of the course.
They were not more than half a
length apart on the last half mile.
They kept together for several sec
onds before the expert maneuvering
of the sheet tender on "The Spy"
and the skill and judgment of Com
modore Thatcher just about decided
the issue. 1t was hard for Fam
rock to lose, and equally glorious
for 1.-THE Spy" to win.
The presentation of the Sewell
cup to Commodore Thatcher by State
Treasurer William T. Read was a
fitting conclusion to this noteworthy
event.
