Torf-y «h« CAPE MAY COUNTY TIMES It thlrty-«lK y««r« old. On th# thlrr i-riday of Novombar, In th« year of 1BSS, the TIMES waa launched on the jeumullatlc eea of Capo Moy County by Thomaa E. Luolam then active In local and county affalra, and Mayer of Sea lale City. In Ilia hand* the craft v'aa ably etoered for twonty-two yeara, when It waa taken over by the late Soiden TtMtChelL In 1907. Mr. Twltchell formed the preaent Cape May County TVnrt Crmpany, and aucceaaively had at edltora Meoara. W. Backet (deceaaed), C. Hofotettor. Geo.pe C. Connor, and Joeept. Tarn ley, the latter being In charfe until 1913. In pollt' .e the TIMES waa Ddhi'cratic under the LudUm captaincy, but when pu<chaeed by Mr. Twltdioll. nho waa a Icyal Republican, tbe Democratic banner waa hau'ed oown «r i the flag of "Republican, But Independent" waa hoiefen to the maethead. where It etlll flya. The TIMES today la older Uun ita editor by five /earn, and It la with a pardonable pride that we are aMe to look upon Ita uaeful life of nearly two acorn. And we leek forward with great expectancy to the future; we believe that the yeara to come aie deatlned to be the greateat In the hlatory of the newepaper, ana that It will grew with the great county of which It la now, moat aaauredly, an Integral part. Thlrty-ela yeara ago Cape May County waa a comparative wlldemeea; euch piacea aa Ocean City. Wildwood, Avalon and Stone Harbor were either not yet born, or In their awaddMnB clot hoc; and the entire aaaeeaed valuation of the county waa not aa great, by many thouaenda of dollara, aa the amalleat of the reecrta mentioned are aateeabd f-r today. The TIMES hae kept pace wNh thle growth of tl* county, eepeclally In the pact few year*. A modern type-caatlng machine waa Inetalled, and every letter that makee up the reading matter of the TIMES, and Ita elater newapaper, the Seven Mile Beacl Reporter, ia cart new each week from typemetal with a greater apeed than that of three non aetting type In the "good old daya.” ao often referred t wHh affection t, ‘he printer, of the old achool. in the Commercial Printing Department modem machinery hat dlaplaced the equipment of the older day*. E..., pie.e of machinery and every pl*ce of type uaed In the making of printing haa been replaced. A recent addition waa an automatic printing pro,, which will print fatter than two hand feeder, and more accurately. Tnc aote euivlvor of the TIMES equipment of thlrty-ala yeara ago la the pi eea upon which It la printed—the o.d Campbell newspaper preaa that haa aerved ao faithfully and well, and which ia still a good praoa. This la the laat lecu* to be printed on thla preat. however, and It will bo with a shade of sorrow mixed with regret that we n il witness Ita annihilation In the march of prog rest. Aa toon a, we are off the proas today, a new cylinder nroaa. of a modem type and vary much faster than the old. oaay-going Campbell, will be h etalled. and the next Issue of tbe thirty-oevonth year of the TIMES" life will be on Its new press. Without the hearty co-operation and friendship of ao large a family of loyal supportsra, the success of the .IME6 would have been Impossible. We thank them all. and for our part promise to adhero strictly to our idaals of what a home newspaper ahouM be r intlng faithfully all the news "with Justice to a'l and malice toward bone." In our Commercial Printing Departwill continue to do such good work tLat we will always merit support and friendship. And hare, our policy of the beat possible workmanship, at mouerate prices, will contliua lo.-ng. ••■'•ot Jove hlmaeff upon the past haa power." it It done: Its failures, and Its triumphs: lu mistakes and lu aucxeeaee art all dead. Only the future la ahead, with all its promise and Ha golden ppportunltlss. We look forward with q.-eatest confidence and plea,ure to It. We BELIEVE In Sea Isle City ane Cape May County: we BELIEVE In the TIMES and the part It can a..d will play In the greater oeveiopmant of our wonderful "playground of a .tatlon;" and lr the Industrial and agrlcuRbr.-i possibilities of our county.

Is highly probable that the Freeholder Board member* have concluded hat It v ouid be cheaper lo admit a tech.leal violation of the law. rather than land further costs of trial with 'he unertalnt" of the outcome at he end. The cost of the trial to the Board meml-us leen an average of 6500 for each day was In session. It Is said, one attorney* receiving a fee of 6100 for bla serearh day. With fifty-seven more Indictments to he tried, each ol which would probably take two day*, the cost the Indicted Freeholders would be slat • ii.n.m with possibly a heavy Arte pay at the end.
