Death of Samuel E Sam

| Samuel F. Sapp, one Of Mount
Holly's prominent business men, died
at his home on Union street, Thursday
afternoon, after an illness that had
extended over several months.
Mr.. Sapp was born at Columbus. in
this county and worked on a farm.
At the age of 16 years he ran away and
joined the army. His father got him
released on account of his age but the
boy pleaded so hard that he was given
consent to enlist and he was with the
Third cavalry of the 36th New JERSEY
volunteers, being connected with the
Army of the Potomac and the Armv
OF the Shenandoah, under Gen.
Custer.
On returning from the war Mr., Sapp
drove stage from Juliustown to Bur
lington, and when the Kinkora rail.
road was built he drove a stage be-
tween Columbus and Tuckerton.
Later he entered into the butcherine
business, working at Columbus, and
finally settled in Mount Holly. Here
he worked for several of the butchers, |
at one time being engaged in the old
market place that stood where S. Earl
Assays store is now located.
Deciding to branch out for himself
he opened store in the Bullock
property on Garden street. The bust.
ness grew to such an extent that Mr..
Sapp was not able to handle it unaided
and his son, Lorenzo, who was then
with THE News, gave up his position
and went into partnership with his
father. On the death of Edward Groom
the property he had owned was placed
on the market and Sapp & Son pur
chased it and put up building which
is still occupied by the firm,
While always interested in the wei.
fare OF the town and willing to do his
share in anything that would aid in
advancement of Mount Holly's inter-
ssts, Mr.. Sapp did not aspire to public
office, but devoted his entire attention
10 his business. His one recreation
was week or two at the seashore fish
ng. The balance of the year would
ind him at his post in the store. Hell

County Flag Unfurled

mere was large gathering OF people
at the court house, Saturday afternoon
when the flag awarded to this county
for having raised its quota of Liberty
Bonds, was unfurled. The event had
not been advertised to great extent
but there was large audienceo on hand
when Walter E. Robb, head Of the
Burlington County Red Cross, called
the meeting to order.
Mr.. Robb explained the object of the
gathering. He said this county had
been expected to raise 1900, 900, but it
had done better. having secured sub
scriptions for 81, $50. 900. with more to
come. He thought this glorious end
ing OF q four weeks campaign, in
which there had been perfect harmony
the solicitors being received courteous
ly, without any friction in any of the
districts. He called attention to the
fact that Burlington comfy is the first
Of nine counties to get flag. Camden
and Mercer are trying hard to get in
second. Twsn.y-three towns in the
county have received honor flags.
Rev. L. M. Bickhell, of the Mount
Holly Presbyterian church, offered a
prayer in which he invoked Divine
blessing upon all who are engaged in
work for protection of our country.
Miss McIlvain chairman of the
Womsn's Liberty Loan Committee, of
New. Jersey, was the first speaker.
She paid high tribute to those in this
county who have done such good work
in securing subscriptions to the third
Liberty loan. She related many in
stances that had come to her notice of
sacrifice on the part of those who
wanted to aid the country. One of
these was where a Chinaman, asked to
subscribe for $50 bond, readily re-
sponded. The solicitor, in jocuIar
manner, asked for higher subscrip-
ton, finally reaching $500. when the
Chinaman, possibly tired of the slowly
creeping solicitations, ended the affair
and astounded the solicitor by putting
down the cash for bond of 81 900.
Norman w. Harker, of Mount Holly
was the next speaker and he gave an
e12quent address, after which Miss
Haines, of Burlington, vice chairman
Of the county branch, pulled the string
that released the banner, which will
float in front OF the court house.
The injecting closed after the bene-
diction had been pronounced by Rev.
Henry Teller Cooke, rector of st.
Andrews church, Mount Holly.

Smoker Committee Changes
D1a0

The five men from Burlington who
were on the committee which had
charge of the notorious smoker given
by Hope Fire Company, that city, on
February 2lst, and who were indicted
for producing lewd entertainment,
appeared before Judge Lippincott, on
Thursday, and changed their former
pleas of not guilty to non vult conten-
dere. They will be sentenced later,
probably next Thursday. The lewd
part of the programme was the ap-
pearance on the stage of a Philadel-
phia woman named Ethel Clifford.
alias Princess K" in an entirely nude
state.
The change of the pleas of the in
dicted men eliminates trial at which
there no doubt would have been I'M
savory developments, and in which
number of other citizens of Burlington
might have gained unenyiable no
toriety.
