COVE LAND History

1--WE LAND AllSIOh4
The transfer of this property which has
been in the Summerill family for eighty
five years, breaks the continuous line of
Summerill land ownership extending from
the Delaware river for two miles and a
half back from the river. Previous to the
sale OF the BENZ. Black farm last January
the land belonging to the Summerills or
their heirs extended from the river, near
ly to the dupont resrvoir, formerly known
as Danser Mill and pond, which was own
ed in colonial day by Thomas Carney who
! owned Carney's Point. The marriage Of
| John Summerill LIST to Naomi, daughter
Of Thomas Carney brought the Black farm
into the Summerill family. The mill
| property and the DUPONT farm Formerly
Edwin A. Vannemans now tenanted by
w. Thomas Whitesell went to the Robert
Johnson family at Salem by his marriage
to Hannah Carney.
Thomas Carney, an immigrant from
ireland owned about 1000 acres which
extended almost continuously from Carney
Point to Salem creek. He was one of the
largest land owners and most prominent
citizens in Salem county in colonial days.
lie left no male heirs and lies buried at
Churchtown. His name is perpetuated
i'll "Carney's Point" to continue famous
as the location of duPonts smokeless pow
der works. The oldest land record of the
Cove property is that Catharine, wife of
Andrew Helms, received $50 acres of land
extending from the cove about a mile,
from john Mounsen, a relative by will,
and she willed it to her grand daughter
Catherine Hoover who married Micbael
Walker, father of the late Robert and
Francis 2. Walker. Hence the oldest
settlement was called Helms Cove for
many years. 1t was the first leading bus
mess place in Upper Neck because the in
denied shore made a cove or harbor safe
for small boats oil which all products
were exported and imported.
Catharine Helms and husband nndoubt-
edly erected the first store building. She
sold it and a quarter OF an acre to Adam
| Harbeson. Samuel Burden bought it of
Harbeson in 1906 and 1919 James Sherron
bought it of Michael Walker, admmistra-
tor of Burdens estate.
In 1929 John Summerill, I'd, bought
the store property of Sherron and put his
son John Sd there. The value of the
property and business can be judged by
the purchase price, only 5000. 1t grew
to large proportions under John Summer
Ill Sd, one of the most widely known
merchants in South Jersey from 1910 un-
til his death in 1865, when his sons John
and Joseph G. succeeded him. They con.
tinued until the death of the former III
1907 and the later in 1909. Neither left
any heirs.
In 1904 the dry goods aud grocery bus
was sold to George w. Davis and since
1906 S. r. Leap 4 Son have had a stor,

MOTORCYCLES.
Accidents Caused by tho Incxprrience OF
NOunE Riders.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir: Scarcely
a Sunday or holiday passes without
witnessing a number OF street accidents,
and In at least one OF the accidents a
motorcycle IL involved. IL generally hap
pens that way.
Perhaps motorcycles are the safest
pleasure machines in the city IL they are
In the hands OF capable operators. those
who have sufficient experience in running
their machines to avoid accidents, except
under impossible conditions, who under
stand how to act and think quickly when
the occasion demands such action. who are
absolutely familiar with the mechanism
and know how to apply the brake when.
ever an object looms up before them
which should be avoided If possible.
Judging by the number Of accidents In
which motorcycles are involved. often
times they must he In the hands of mex
perienced operators, who know just enough
about the machines TO set them in motion.
These operators, mounted on high pow
cred machines. are harmless provided
something does not appear In front OF
them when they are least expecting Il.
Then. like all inexperienced persons. they
lose their heads and forget all about the
levers and brakes. The only way they
can stop the uncomfortable motorcycle
IL TO fan on. This the ratified rider
generally refuses TO do. and the object
In the path usually receives the full force
OF the collision.
The criminal phase OF the matter Is that
Inscriptions dealers rent the motorcycles
out TO persons who have the money but
not the experience, Does II seem right
that high powered machines should be
placed In charge of boys and youths who
cannot be depended ON to think quickly
when danger appears? SAFETY.

A Principle Not Founded on Per-
sOnality.

Apparently it is the theory OF GER
tain statesmen in Washington that the
Government may with entire propriety
allow person not unpopular Ia pay
the bills for governmental activities.
but IL an incident occurs which arouses
dislike for that individual his thith-
ertO acceptable contributions to the
public purse should he refused Thus
they hold that Mr.. ROCKEFELLER
money. expended through the General
Education Board. was worthy Of ac-
ceptaDce until the Colorado coal strike
made II fashionable among demagogues
10 paint Mr.. ROCKEFELLER AS a most
reprehensiblc person. but that 1t now
must be rejected.
This is narrowing to mere personality
a question that involves an important
principle. 1t would be highly unfortu-
nate for the Government to depend on
private generosity for the support Of
any Of its operations. not because even
generous man may be- a rascal, but
because the Government would be put
in hateful position of dependence, in
compatible with dignity and absolute
self-cOntrol. The most ingenious regu-
lation cannot take from the man who
meets the bills the final power of di-
rection. and the Government should not
allow itself under any circumstances
to serve a private master.
Cooperation between public and pri-
vate agencies is not difficult to bring
about. Withdrawal of the Government
from partnership with any altruistlc
society will not restrict It's field Of Use
fulness. I'm our opinion the United
States should pay its own way, and the
burden should fall on the taxpayers,
not because JoHS ID. ROCKEFELLER, I'M
der constant menace Of the law Of the
land, manages his business as seems
wise to him. but because private con-
troll of the purse from which public
servants are paid creates conditions
full of danger To the State.

geon and Lake Ontario.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir. Tho
most thrilling fresh water story | ever
heard was related to me on Tuesday eve
ming by DIR. s., an honored member OF the
New York Chemists Club. In the cafe of
that well known organization OF patholo-
gsis and other "highbrows'' OF the pro-
fession:
"One day up In the st. Lawrence near
Clayton, y. Y. where ] resided last sum
mer. ] was out In my twenty-five foot
motor boat There was a man fishing In
little skin. and / noticed that he was
having trouble with something very heavy
on his line which kept his stout rod
doubled up all the time while the boat
was being dragged about. ran I'D close
and asked him what was up. lie said
that he had a whale on his trolling rig
and that he could not tire the thing out
any way. He said that he had been work
ing for more than an hour, but had not
yet caught a sight of what he was afoul
or. He hoped II was not a sea serpent.
of course / naturally felt curious TO
see what he had hold Of so ] cruised out
from the skin for about 100 feet or so.
Pretty soon saw what II was that caused
the trouble "A great sturgeon, fully five
feet In length and which would haze
weighed at least 100 pounds, had been
hooked by the triple barbs OF the trolling
spoon bait right In the middle Of its back
under one OF those armorlike bosses that
sturgeon carry. ! concluded that the great
fish had been basking on or near the sur
face and lying at right angles to the
course OF the spoon. which had passed over
its back and caught on so strongly.
81 told the fisherman. local guide
named Henry Weber. by the way, that
he had "A big sturgeon out there. and he
vowed that he would tire the fish out II II
took all night 10 do It.
We'll. ! met Weber In Clayton a few
days afterward and asked him how he
made out with his sturgeon. He told me
that he had fought the monster from 5
o'clock when i was out there. until Il that
night without thing to eat since noon
that day. Becoming exhausted. finally.
he was surprised TO find the fish appar-
emily stronger than ever and even more
stubborn. Then he tried TO tow the big
sturgeon toward shore. hoping to get help.
To his amazement the fish proved stronger
than himself and began TO draw its cap
tor Off toward Lake ontario. Then Web
Der began to row up gently toward the
fish In the hope OF hitting 1t over the
head and ending the contest in that way,
but MIR. Sturgeon was too wary. He Owed
every time he was approached for tho
purpose.
There being apparently nothing else to
do Weber most regretfuly cut the strong
line about midnight and the sturgeon
departed.

pistol 1t Is strange that / did not go on

"kICkERS."
4 Jersey Thinker Seems 10 Confound
Them With Cranks and l'piifters.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir. Why
all this talk OF the need OF "k.ckers" to
secure the reform OF abuses? And from
correspondents of THE SUN, presumably
imbued with its wisdom, absurd. Are we
not . nation Of habitual "kickers." in
corrigble reformers and fanatlcal ideallsts
living In n wide world of universal de-
nunclaton of every recognized custom OF
mankind and half the processes OF nature
DO we not in our individual and col
lective persons constitute the very apothe-
oss OF the age and art OF registered
protest?
What institution, belief. practice or
tendency has escaped the assaults OF
chronic 'kickers"" What governmental
principle, economic law social relation or
personal propensity has lacked condemna-
ton by a horde of Jealous reformers? In
the mysterious name OF all hidden things,
what II there left to "kick" about or re-
form save "kicking" and reform them
selves?
The one supreme need OF recalcitration
Is the suppression of "kickers," particu-
larly In their organized capacities. The
greatest mercy that can be vouchsa fed
by benevolent Providence to super
repercussed race will be a return to a de-
cent respect for Individual liberty and an
undemented appreciation OF the blessings
OF that freedom which II was the purpose
OF our ancestors to establish for our en-
joyment forever. "Kickers''? We don't
need them or want them. The very bowels
Of the earth are oppressed by the incubus
OF their accumulation. the systems Of the
heavens are perturbed by the tension Of
their grippe. FRED MErcALr.
