changed from a radical to a Con

are willing 10 admit that the railroads

As for Senator Cummins. he admits
that he doesn't like il very well him
self, but his friends claim for him
that he has done more than anyone
else to improve the relation between
the railroads and the government.
They say that for twenty years Con

road question. and that Cummins and
Esch have to their credit practically
all the constructive legislative accom-
plishments on record. Cummins does
not claim to have worked any won

he hopes to round out a constructive

Consolidated Railroads
Senator Cummins will ask Congress
this winter the compulsory oonsolida-

Obituary
WILLIAM SHOEMAKER

was Striken with apolexy last FRIDAY
morning December 81 1923, in Willis's
store on South Broad Stree and died
soon after being removed to his home
on Cumberland Avenue.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon from II. F. Ashcraft's parlor.
Burial was in Riverview Cemetery be-
side his wife Anna, daughter of VIM.
H. Denny.
William Shoemaker was in the
butcher business in Penns Grove for
some years, about 35 years ago. Later
he went to Philadelphia where he was
in the meat and restaurant business.
During the World War he returned to
Penns Grove and worked at the Pow
der Plants and later at the Delaware
Ordnance Depot.
William Shoemaker was SO years
of age and one of ten children of the
late Edward Shoemaker and Sarah
Sailor.
For many years during the 1840's,
SOS, COS and 70's Edward Shoemaker
lived on the Robert c. johnson farm in

Maria, Kezia, George, Frank, Edward,
William, j. Wesley, Sarah and r.
johnson Shoemaker. All are dead
except Edward and Sarah.
The only one who has defendants
in this region is Sedgewick Rushing
Shoemaker.
Mr.. Shoemaker was an enthusiastic
Methodist in his earlier days. Some
wonder why men are named Sedge-
wick. In 1829-30 Sedgewick Rushing
was young and popular preacher
on Salem Circuit and many babies
were baptised and named for him. The
name continues thru the succeeding
generations. Mr.. Shoemaker named
one son for John Wesley, the founder
of Methodism.
The son Robert johnson was named
for the owner of the farm on which he
lived, Robert Carney Johnson, a lead
ing citizen and the first mayor of
Salem. Robert C. johnson was the
son of Robert Gibbon johnson and
Hannah Carney. youngest daughter
of Thomas Carney, Jr. Thomas Carney

1000 acres. Hannah Carney also in

KLANSMEN VISITED
BETHEL M. p. CHURCH

An announcement that there would
be a delegation of friends from out of
town drew a large audience to Bethel
M. P. Church last Sunday evening.
During the service five men in white
robes of the Klansmen entered. They
halted while the standing audience
sang the Star Spangled Banner, then
took chairs on the platform.
Rev. Francis A. Smith, the pastor,
said that all orders and citizens are
welcomed to his Church so long as
they keep order and behave them
selves.
He preached forcible sermon from
Luke 28th chapter, where Jesus told
his disciples to tarry till he came and
gave the Holy Spirit to those who be-
lieved in him. He said it was the duty
of the ministers to tellmen the highest
moral principles and ideals and to tell
men when they are wrong. AS men,
bers are obligated to obey the prin-
ciples and rules of the orders to
which they belong so are the members
of the Christian Church obligated to
live and act the life of Christians, be
followers of Christ. 1t was his COM
mand, "Follow Me-"
AS citizens we are expected to obey
the laws. Those who do not should
be made to do so.
After the close of the sermon the
Kleagle of the Province offered prayer
then spoke on the origin of the Ku
Klux Klan what it accomplished and
what the Klan now stands for. Near
the close he removed his hood.
A the beginning of his sermon Rev.
Smith read the principles of the Klan
as follows:
