Court

The fall term of Salem County
Courts began on Tuesday with a long
list of cases to be heard, both civil
and criminal.
Judge Blacks charge was unusually
brief. He said there seemed to be no
occasion at this term of Court for spec
ial instructions to the jurors nor
special matters to which attention
should be directed. The Prosecutor,
however, would produce evidence of a
murder at Penns Grove and it would
appear that homicide was committed.
After the Grand Jury retired attor-
ney T. G. Hilliard made an address
upon the death of former Judge Glenn
ent H. Sinnickson and asked that suit
able resolutions be directed by His
Honor to be entered in the minutes of
the Court, to indicate the regret and
sorrow of the members of the bar of
the county of Salem at the death of
their late friend.
After short elaboration the Grand
Jury returned an indictment against
Antino Saladino for the murder on
April oath, 1919, of Antonio Ingolia
at PennS Grove. Saladino was
was brought to the bar and entered a
plea of not guilty.
Judge Black set Tuesday, October
21st, for the trial. Saladino an
nounced that his counsel would be
Henry Burt Ware and a New York
lawyer
GIUSEPPE Pepi, who had been a fugi-
tive from justice over two years, was

Pepi was accused of the murder at
Penns Grove on July 9th, 1917, OF
| Camille De Ratio.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, but the
Court ordered a plea of not guilty en-
tered and appointed Attorney S. Rus
ling Leap to defend him and be ready
to move the Ease on Monday, October

Republican Mass Meeting
Candidate Bugbee ExpOunds His
Principles-Free Lunch Follows

Newton A. K. Bugbee, candidate for
the Republican nomination for Cover
nor, toured Salem County on Wednes-
day and spent the evening in Carneys
Point and Penns Grove. The cornet
band furnished music for the meeting
held in Odd Fellows Hall which was
nearly filled with Republicans and a
few Democrats.
Assessor Joseph N. Layman was
chairman. He introduced local can
didates and last Mr.. Bugbee who gave
an instructive address on State affairs,
showing that he was well posted on
the finances of the State.
He said the first job he ever had
was at Edgemoore bridge works. His
first visit to Penns Grove was to COM
bat the Jerseymen and his party got
the most beautiful whipping on the
wharf he ever experienced. In his
opinion there were three issues in this
campaign: prohibition, woman's suf-
frage and public utilities. F~orty-fve
states had accepted constitutional pro-
hibition; it became the fundamental
law of the nation He believes it
should not have been enacted by votes
of legislators but by a direct vote of
the people. The Governor has no
power to decide the question.
He did not believe woman's suffrage
should become a constitutional law by
votes of legislators but by direct vote
of the people.
In regards to public utilities, water,
gas, electricity and transportation he
said we want only what is fair and
just. The Public Utilities Commission
were appointed to allow rates on fair
values. People are expected to pay
for what they get on fair charges for
services rendered.
He said the highway improvement
of the State was a great success and
should be continued. In return for a
tunnel for automobiles under Hudson
river North Jerseymen supported the
expenditures for good roads in South
Jersey.
He was part of Governor Edges adj
ministration and knew it from the in
side. AS it cost only 100000 more to
run the State in 1918 than in 1916, UNI
der Democratic rule he thought the
same party should be continued in
power. He claimed there had been no
charge of crookedness in contracts and
no graft in the large expenditures of
money.
Mr.. Bugbee considered this an i'm
portant campaign; very important to
keep the present persons in power in
the State, as he saw nothing the DEM
ocrats had done in fifty years.
Mr.. Bugbee left the impression that
he was in the campaign against the
Democrats when the issue was whether
he was better qualified to be Governor
than William N. Runyon, the present
acting Governor, or Thomas l.. Ray
mond, at the primary next Tuesday.
j. B. Press, who is campaigning for
Mr.. Bugbee followed, giving a terse
account of what he had done for the
Republican party as State Committee
man and as State Comptroller.
After the meeting, the faithful"
with quite a sprinkling of Democrats,
gathered at the party headquarters, on
North Broad Street, where an elabor-
ate luncheon was served, including
plenty of the kickless brew.

Penns Groves Chautauqua

Chautauqua used to carry in the mind
the idea of a lecture and study course
at Chautauqua, N. Y. Then the extern
sive reading course was introduced.
In recent years a corporation was
formed at Swarthmore, Pa, to take
lectures and musical entertainments
to numerous small towns.
Penns Grove tried it for three years.
1t was learned that much was medl-
OGRE talent and the corporation de-
manded all that could be raised with
no profit to the home workers. Be-
sides all the entertainments were held
continuously within three days or a
week and but few could spare the time
to get full value for their money,
which was from 81 to $3.50.
In the words of Ben Franklin Penns
Grove came to the conclusion that they
"paid too much for their whistle" for
this travelling literary show with some
scantily clothed women.
So the literary committee in En-
manuel Church the past two years has
furnished pleasing entertainments.
This wear another has been arranged
for. consisting of six lectures by men
equal to those on the Chautauqua
Circuit with a musical treat accom-
panying each lecture. AS there will
be n a month persons can arrange
to hear all for 81. Bigger values for
the money were given IN Penns
Grove.

A Sad Suicide

When Louis Clemente went into his
garage on Oak Street on Sunday
morning he was astounded to see his
cousin and partner, Giovanni (John)
Clemente, hanging by his neck from
a clothes line. John went there about
8 o'clock, tied one end to the roof, a
slip moose around his neck, stood on a
basket which he kicked over, and took
his life by strangling. On Tuesday a
note was found on which was written
the following:
whatever may happen it is that l
am tired of life, with my poor mind
disguised with the world. My brother
did lots for me but l can't help it."
. John was a quiet, retiring man
which made people think he was mod
est and thoughtful and not gloomy.
He had been in the meat and grocery
business at the corner Of Main and
Oak Streets about six months. 1t is
reported that because of his faith In
others who had imposed on his credit
he was financially embarrassed which
caused him to become "disgusted with
the world"
How must those feel who have be-
trayed his confidence in his generous
credit?
The funeral was largely attended
from the residence of his brother,
Canute Clemente, on Wednesday morn
ing. The Order of Italian Brother
hood, of which Giovanni Clemente was
Secretary, acted as pail bearers.
Noble Commander Andrew Colantuono
was master of ceremonies. Music was
furnished by an Italian band from
Camden. The floral gifts were numer-
GUS and cost hundreds of dollars. They
were carried by t~wenty-slx girls
dressed in white. Besides the Italian
citizens there were a large number OF
old residents in a dozen automobiles
in the procession.
Besides being a Cody man, Giovanni
Clemente was a true American patriot,
altho born in Italy twenty-eight years
ago. He lived in the United States
fourteen years; four years in Penns
Grove.
He enlisted for the World War
September 20, 1917, Co. L, 311th Regi-
ment, at Camp Dix. Because of faith
ful service he was appointed sergeant
April Is, 1918, by Capt. James Carey,
who gave him a letter of high com,
mendation when he was discharged
Nav %, 1918, because Of i'll health.

The past season was the dullest sea-
son along the river shore in Penns
Grove for twenty years. While many
of the cottages were occupied by work
ingTnon, the summer sojourners were
fewer. Some believe it was because
they lad bigger money to go elswhere.
Others believe it was because the shore
for playing, boating and bathing is
less desirable because the tar from
the oil ships and dye works prohibits
former pleasures.

over Kay's dome for a home run and
a second that was good for two bases

field the ball to first; Mackenzie drew
a base on balls and Hirst stopped a
fast one with his wrist, filling the

and scoring three runs ahead OF him.
The Engineers in their half scoring
three runs and adding their third
tally in the sixth. In the seventh

the game out of the fire after two
were gone, but Johnny Ogden, pinch
hitting for Howard, ended the game
by lining out to Hirst. Rays work
with the willow was much in evidence
during the afternoon.

COLLEGE AT VALD0STA
ASKS FUND OF $4,000

| Atlanta, Ca, July 19.-Overcrowded
beyond its capacity, and unable to rent
| living for the many quarters for the
many girls who are eager to attend its
sessions, the South Georgia Normal
College at Valdosta, is appealing
strongly to the legislature for new
S75,$$$ dormitory, to. be built at once.
The Valdosta College, the only
state institution of its kind in the.
southern section Of the state, proved
so popular with the girls of the South
Georgia countries, that its attendance
increased over 1000 per cent, in the
first five years of it's existence. Two
years ago upon the completion of the
new administration building, the old
building was made a dormitory and
filled to overlooking the year. Last
winter the handsome home of the late
United State Senator W. S. West
was used to take care of the overflow
but that cannot be secure another

are more and more eager to tax ad-
vantage Of the fine opportunity it
offers.
"Of course, we shall have to make
some temporary arrangement to take
care of the overflow for few
months until we can build our new
dormitory, if the legislature gives it
to us. But we must have it as speedily
as possible or the institution will be
greatly hampered in the good work
it is doing. With a proper understand
