The PENIS Grove Record
FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1907.
The Location of FenWiCk'S Monument.

In another column is published the
announcement of the proposition of the
committee having the Fenwick monu-
ment fund in charge to have a suitable
marker erected at the site of his grave
on the Salem road a short distance be-
low the County Almshouse and to have
a suitable monument erected in Woods
town at the fork Of the street in front
of the Friends Meeting House. The
PENIS Grove RECORD endorses thepro-
position.
The cannon which now occupies the
spot is the most inappropriate rellc that
could be placed in front of a Friends
meeting House. 1t is a relic OF The
barbaric age and not in keeping with
the peaceful conquests of John FenWlck
and William Penn.
John Fenwick is entitled to as much
honor in Salem county, as William Penn
is in Philadelphia. Fenwick was the
pioneer of Penn in founding an asylum
in the new world for the prosecuted
Ouakers in England. While FenW1ck's
colony was not as famous as Penn's yet
it was founded with the same spirit OF
peaceful conquests and was a success
NOT so great a success as Penn's because
Penn was a young man, a friend al the
court I of King Charles IL, because MS
father had wealth which had assisted
the King and the King owed him.
III Fenwick had limited means ana was
aged. His death cut short his usefur
ness but his colony Of Friends exists to-
day and all descendants from that colo
nv Of residents on the Fenwick land
can do themselves honor by helping
erect a suitable monument to his MEM
DRY in WoOdstown.
Philadelphians honor their founder,
William Penn, with monuments and
memorials. Why not Salem countians
honor John Fenwick, the first English
settler, a Friend and founder OF a
colony which is famous in local history
and most worthy of monumental record
as a teacher of the past to the present
and future generations.
In order to teach the people, of Salem
county the benevolent spirit and perse-
cution and hardships Fenwick and his
followers had to endure, every library
in Salem county should have the history
of Fenwick's relations to Penn as pub
lished by the Friends publishing house
in Philadelphia.
The committee which has the monu
ment in charge might erectthe suitable
and appropriate marker first. They
should be in no rush with the monu
ment until a sufficient fund is accumu'
late to erect a suitable monument
worthy of the benevolent and public
spirited man whose name it is to COM
memorate.

The Bishops Act.

Governor Stokes, has filed the amend
ment to the Bishops act, which elimi-
mates that feature of the law making it
necessary for a license applicant to re-
side at least n year, in the municipality
where he seeks a license. The filing of
the measure by the Governor without
his approval makes it become a law and
removes the stumbling-block which
has impelled non-residents purchasers
of hotels to seek a license through agents
or managers.

The new milk law will go into effect
ON July LIST, making all sales by liquid
measure. Heretofore the wholesale
dealers bought milk by dry measure
and sold it by liquid measure, thus MAX
ing about six quarts o a forty gallon
can. A dry measure quart contains
67.2 cubic inches and a liquid measure
quart 57.75 cubic inches. 1t has been
estimated that this change of law will
be a benefit to the farmers in the region
of Woadstown to the amount of S25, 900

IMMENSE STRAWBERRY PROFITS
This has been the biggest year for pro.
fits Delaware strawberry growers ever
had. While the backward spring caused
some to have practically no berries, 1t
made profits merrier tor others. One
Sussex County grower has cleared $1,000
on a single acre. From the lone Marion
Station alone 100 carloads of Strawberries
have been shipped, and because OF the
choice quality OF the fruit the value OF
the product, $175, 900 was received for it.
1t has been the most profitable year at
Cheswold and Wyoming, while in
Bridgeville and Seville the season has
been unprecedented for actual money
profit.
