Truth and Quality appeal to the Wcfl-Infonned in every walk of life and arc essential to permanent and creditable standing. Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is 'the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionaide substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine — manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

Cape May is the luckiest place on ' the map. Without a single effort on tbe part of any man or body of men here, the Cape May Beat Estate Company became interested and spent 94,000,000, secured a Govern meat appropriation and started up a ljne of development whioh will ultimately make of this a great city and seaport Without tbe slightest inducement and entirely of his own volition, N. Z. Graves has purchased several hundred acres of farm land and expended 9185,000 in creating a model dairy and slock farm not surpassed anywhere in this country. Any resort in the country would have done anything within its power to nave attracted such enterprise. Cape May gets them without effort. f« » (s It is said the State Excise Commission will recommend that power be given the Governor to remove from office Sheriffs and Mayors who do not perform their duties satisfactorily. •But who shall be impowered to remove a Governor when he does not perform satisfactorily? ® <• (• There are too many Micawbers in this section who are constantly waiting for something to turn up without making any effort to assist matters. * <• • Tbe Cape May Realty Company has been incorporated wilh a capital of 960,000, the incorporators being Joseph Dickson.

(•»(• Out of '472,102 ballots cast in New Jersey in the late election only 4,675 or less than 1 per cent., were found defective for any reason. With nearly half a million men handling ballots, what wonder that some of the ballots became defaced,, .either through ignorance or carelessness. But th» vote was , ojien and free except in the few remaining disti icts where voting machines are used. If all the election 1 districts in New Jersey had Leen 1 equipped with machines on election ' day th* total vote would have tallen many thouasands short of what it was. 1 and there is hardly a doubt that some ! districts would have been disfranchised ' by the breaking down of their | 1 machines.— Newark Star. • » » One of the ablest accountants and ! most systematic bookkeepers in the; county is A.

2 The recent ruling of State Superinn tendent of Schools, Charles J. Baxter, n that a member of the Board of Educan tion is not eligible for the position of District Clerk, will likely cause a 1 shake-up in many School Boards. It has been the rule, particularly in e this section, to elect a member of the y Board, District Olerk, but Superin tcn- " dent Baxter argues that the position is ? incompatible, on the ground that a man * cannot be his own employer, d (• » » e Apropos of the announcement that e an automobile manufacturer has purg chased 320 acres of land near Cape May b City on which to build a factory and D construct a track for testing his new machines, It is rather strange that other manufacturers in this line do not establish themselves in 8outh Jersey, e where land is cheap, [and the supplies n of material convenient, andjwhere the t labor situation is about as satisfactory as they will find it anywhere. In the . unsettled sections of South' Jersey , there are great level stretches where tracks for trying out machines and for racing could be located without interfering with traffic. Auto manufacturers should be attracted to this section of New Jersey. —Camden PostTelegram. # <• (• | We understand that the Pennsylvania Railroad officials are considering the s advisability of sending a "Farmers' r Lecture Train" into South Jersey.
