had over seventy thousand in line,
also floats, bands, mounted guards,

DR.. I. ]. Cross
Urges Coolidge
Resort Pastor Lauds President in
Address Before County Cool
idge Club at Somers Point.

Rev. DR.. Thomas J. Cross, the popu
lar pastor of Chelsea Baptist Church,
Atlantic City, gave an eloquent ad-
dress before the Atlantic County Cool
idge Club at the home of Mrs. Sarah
Woods, Somers Point, last Friday.
Taking as his theme Keep the
Present Pilot, Dr.. Cross said in part:
why am l here? Like you, as an
American citizen, concerned with ey-
erything that is for the welfare of my
country. We have had presented to
US some of the foremost citizens to
lead US in our national affairs. We
have a responsibility to perform as
individuals, as voters. Therefore we
should become acquainted with the
men, their platforms and their ideals.
The materials of our candidates should
be known. Their lives are like open
books before US.
This year there are at least foul
good and true American citizens wor-
thy of attention. Since we cannot
divide our affections upon many, but
must concentrate upon n individual,
so as voters we must decide.
Il feel that the present standard
bearer of the Republican party is wor-
thy to be returned. He is a Christian
man and a lover of his home and fam
lily. He has a trained mind and is
well equipped for the position. Dur
ing some real tests he has shown pur-
pose and remarkable poise.
He has conscientious convictions
A man of sterling qualities as shown
by his vetoing certain bills which viii
doubtless be used against him by
some. He did not say MY country
right or wrong, my country He did
say. I will do what | deem to be just
and right and my fellow citizens must
judge me by my motives as well as
by my deeds
He has sought no personal gain to
his party, but the greatest good to the
greatest number. In brief, he seems
to think not in counties, but rather in
continents. In closing, ! beg of you to
use your influence by word and pen,
not to sling mud at the other fellow.
The parties have good and true Ameri
cans, but as for me, the man, his
ideals, his past achievements as gov
ernor of a great State the taking the
helm when the lamented Harding left
US, with untold responsibilities relat
ing to his own country, local issues

Financial Campaign
Members Striving EnergeticalIy to
Clear Institution of $4,000
Indebtedness.

The members of Asbury NJ. E.
Church are conducting a financial cam
paign to raise $4,000. This amount is
needed to clear the Church of its in
debtedness. While the church has
been able to keep itself afioat, yet the
members have been unable to do more
than pay interest and small reductions
on the church debt, with no immediate
relief of the burden in sight and moth
ing with which to make needed re-
pairs.
The public-spirited citizens of the
community are asked to assist Asbury
Church TO raise $4,000. When this
amount is raised the Trustees will be
in a position to make repairs and al
terations necessary to provide for the
growing colored population of Pleas
antville. 1t is the plan of the pastor,
Rev. Earl II. Champion. to make As
bury Church the centre of the relig-
ious, social and recreational life of
the colored people of Pl~easantville.
A large white Elephant" has been
placed in the church. Upon side
of the Elephant is printed Let us
get rid of this white elephant. The
white Elephant" represents the in
d~ebtedness of the church. When the
81, 1000 shall have been raised the
white Elephant" will be forced out
of the church.
The members have been divided into
forty groups, each one of which is
asked TO raise not less than $50 by
September 10. The members are busy
as bees giving concerts. lawn parties.
and suppers to raise the required
amount.

On Saturday Pl~easantville broke in
to the winning column again by de
feating Vineland for the second time
this season, 6-5. 1t was anybody's
ball game and the outcome was in
doubt until the last Vineland batsman
was retired in the ninth. Both teams
hit the ball hard, and it was only the
sensational fielding by both teams
which kept the score down. Cliff VIII

Wilson played the outaeld in Ty Cobb
style, pulling down six long outield
fly balls with ease. Burns, the new
catcher, put plenty of pep in the team
and his sacrifice ny to right field in
the seventh inning scored Smith with
the winning run Heckle. Long, Burns,
Michel, Mcconnell and Grand each
secured two hits for their respective
teams. The score:
