SATURDAY, 3£N. 30,1004

Do we want Mure Saloons?This evening, Town Council will

be called ou to decide whether anotherlicensed saloon (otherwise named ahotel) Is a necessity In Hammonton. '

But one^new application will comebefore them1,—that of one Matthew

!_Pfetf.y In his petition he asks for legalpermission to sell liquor "in the"house".wherein I now. reside.!L....:Biii at thatdate he did not reside within a hun-dred rods of the premises designated;and we, have not yet heard that theowner—John Moore— haajiioved outto make room for "hotel"~ furnitureand fixtures.

Twelve men signed a statement tothe effect (among other things) thatto their personal knowledge tbe appli-cant bad at least a stated number ofbeds more than were needed to accom-modate his family. But 'how-;.ppu1dall these men know this fact? The,"hotel", was not open, th&applicant'sbeds not therein^: Did.. they all .visitbis place of residence, inspect its con-tents, count the bedsteads, blankets,sheets and pillows? /

We have nothing to say concerningMr. Pfeil. His twelve men say thatbe is a man of good repute. But wehope the' Councilmen will be as strictwith him as they were with Mr. Es-posTtb,wK6se"proj?ctiBd:=fiotiP*S oabis own land, near his residence ; butbe was refused a license because hedid not reside in-the bui

No more bar-rooms are needed,especially In the proposed location,which is within a few rods of onealready established, about half-a-milefrom another, and tbe same distance

Tfrorn a third, - all said to be doing asatisfactory business.

Tiiisines3,_ahyw'Sy*:Srhas edged its way into Hammonton,and seems inclined to stay; but weprotest against the legalizing of anymore of the class within our borders.It is the only business in town thatconfers absolutely no benefit upon itspatrons, but works them positive harmcontinually; 'and It seems strangethat any man of brain should engagein it, or>encourago another to do so,—^We-hepe-that-a-Bowl representation-]—of our best people will appear beforeCouncil this evening, and make anemphatic protest against the licensingof any more saloons..

Ask the ball to drop to the bot-tom, slacken -the string, and the bullwill obey you. Raise the ball again,and ask It to go down the string slow-ly; this Is easily dono 1iy keeping the

Tlie recent advance In the price ofcotton In this country and in Englandhas stimulated the culture of the plantIn other countries. The possibilitythat the cotton manufacturers of^ theworld are facing the prospect ofca^dearth of raw material seems to have""1

As In Peru, the plant Is a small treerather than a llttlo bush, and it livesand produces for several years. Euro-pean manufacturers have reportedgood results from Itt use. The Par-aguayans, however, have never givenmuch attention to Its cultivation.
