AJter traveling over two hours they Oaally devised a pin it among themselves that if they could hire some one to show them where the berries could be found they would all give a liberal sum—90 cents— presently they came in contact with a colored girl, and she was to pilot them to a place where the berrids could be found

Charles C. Black, the Democratic candidate for governor, was the star attrac.ion at the ellmly attended mass meeting at tbe^ Auditorium Saturday night. He was s poor talker, and was not in it with Candidate Perry, who also addressed the mee'ing. U S. Senator Latimer, whom most of the pesple went to bear, proved to be conspicuous hr his absence. Black said that there- was no class of people for whom the Republican party bad done sj little aa the New Jersey farmer, who la forced to bear more than bis burden of taxalon, wnfle the railroads enjoyed a special exemption. He appealed the voters for support on the platform for equal taxation which, he said, means that the railroads shall pay not more nor leas, but the same rate of taxation which the individual pays. Id Cape May Coonty, Mr. Black said, there are IIS miles of steam railroad property, which is divided into first and second The valuation of railroad property of the first class is 9887,000 and of the second class #77.000. The latter Is taxed at local rates, yielding $2030.98 annually the county. On the #887,000 not a cent of tag Is paid to the county. Under Democratic rule Mr. Black said the county woold receive about $M,000 annually from the railroads. After appeal lug to them on this line of self-interest he presented the moral aide of the question, denouncing the party which favors corporate oppression through taxation, log to the question of economy he stated that the average cost of running the Stale government under Democratic rule had been #1,800,000, while under Republican rule It Is #8,700.000. “The Republicans threaten you with a State tax." said Mr. Black: “unless you check this extravagance there will be a State Ux and the way to check it is to elect the Democratic ticket." He referred to the municipal debts on dUas In the State, bich had grown to #85,000,000; this, he •aid, would become a first mortgage on private property, not corporate Interests, unless the people prospered and ware able to pay the debt. Captain Samuel E. Perry, of Atlantic City, candidate for Congress from the Second district, was the next speaker. He said that be was In the fight to win and to help secure a victory for the entire Democratic ticket. He told of Mr. Black’s appointment on the State Board of Taxation by Gorernor Leon Abbott, his long fight for equal taxation aad of his final selection aa the standard-bearer of the Democratic party to bring relief to a long-suffering

•ople.
