GRAFTON OF
THE AFTERNOON.

Prof. Warren Sheppard, of the Shiloh
High School, and to whom much of the
credit is due for the inception and
conception of the Tea Burning Monu-
ment, was Wednesday orator of the oc-
casion and made the principal historical
address His paper was a clear, con-
else recitation of early history, cover
ing sli of the events that led up to the
daring of the Tea Burners in striking
the blow against oppressive rule. He
referred to the fall of great govern
ments of early time because of the
placing of financial burden upon the
people. ''Questions of finance" he
said, ''permeate all history, and the
subject of taxation, direct and indirect,
is living issue to-day in all civilized
nations Of the world. 1t causes the
formation of political parties and in
the United States more planks relate to
finance than to any other subject"
He entered into study of represen-
tative government which was con-
tended for by the Colonists in the tea
burning days.
The orator covered the hampering of
the colonies by unjust laws restraining
trade. and the levying of the burden
some and unconstitutional taxes which
resulted in the Boston tea party and
the Greenwich tea burning. Prof.
Sheppard paid high tribute to the COL
onists who lived in strenuous times,
when they labored industriously
thought seriously and felt keenly.
They acted wisely and to- day they
are honored properly by the dedication
of this monument to their memory "
said the orator. ''They went under
cover of darkness, the better to accom-
plish their purpose, and this is no
more reflection on their courage than
the night attacks at Germantown, is a
reflection upon the courage of George
Washington.
If to-day" said the speaker, ''they
were tardily honored, it should be re-
membered that Commodore Perry of
Japanese fame waited fifty years for a
local monument. Washington waited
IS years for the completion of his ma
tional monument on the Potomac. In
the year 1901 he English people erected
monument to King Alfred the Great
when they celebrated the anniversary
of his death one thousand years after
ward. The Tea Burners have waited
1874 years for their monument.
In closing Prof Sheppard said
These men are atoms human atoms
among three millions of population
along the Atlantic coast at that time,
but they were the germs of the free
United States of to-day. They spread
the contagion OF liberty through the
colonies

UNWILLING OF
THE MONUMENT.

IO l6SS Lutu seven UQOuSdQQ people
were in Greenwich Wednesday when
the Tea Burning Monument was unveil-
ed. 1t was an inspiring picture at the
moment when Mrs. Robert Ward, ex-
Regent of the New Jersey Society
, Daughters of the Revolution, pulled
| the cord which carried away the great
flags covering the monument and
I brought its rugged beauty into view.
At the same moment five great furled
flags high over the heads Of the people,
were unfolded, and two thousand small
flags lowered down over the heads of
the assembled thousands The school
children had but a moment before
sang 'The Star Spangled Banner, and
the inspiring music of the band was
playing National air as the unveil-
ing proceeded. AS the monument was
ought into view there was an enthu-
siastic outburst of applause, and a re-
sounding cheer.
Upon handsomely decorated Colo.
nial stand were standing the Governor
of the State, former Governor, a Con-
gresham, State Senators, members of
the Assembly, the uniformed staff of
the Governor, distinguished men and
women of the State and county, guests
from adjoining States, high civil Off
GERS, direct descendants of Revolution
fathers. In space reserved in front
of the stand were honored Civil War
veterans, members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, their wives and
daughters.
In the wide roadway between the
pretty stand and the handsome monu-
ment where the assembled thousands
of people who had gathered from all
parts of the county. There were men
and women and boys and girls. Every
where were people, and all were in.
tensely interested in the imposing and
impressive ceremonies.
:, The unveiling had been preceded by
parade that was really highly credit
able. The marshal of that procession
was Captain Samuel R. Fithian, a
Civil War veteran, ninety three year
old. He sat on his horse finely and
upon either side of the head of the
charger marched member of the G.
A. R. and of Company K National
Guards. In the line were the veterans
of 81. The National Guard was rep
resented by Company K, Cyrene Com
mandery K. g. E., Hope and Welcome
Councils, Jr., o. U, A. NJ, organiza-
tions of Red Men, Odd Fellows and
others were in line. The parade was
reviewed by Governor Fort from the
stand.
For hours the great mass of people
stood in front of the stand and listened
to the eloquent addresses of the distin-
guished speakers, and they witnessed
Mrs. Ward, attended by the Guard of
Honor as she laid upon the base of the
monument the galax wreath.
In the interval between the parade
and the unveiling of the monument,
the distinguished guests were served
with luncheon upon the lawn of the
Friends Meeting House, on the banks
of the Cohansey.
At the same time thousands of others
were served with refreshments upon
another part of the property.
l. The entire occasion was beautiful,
impressive, delightful, in its simplic-
ity. Nothing marred the occasion.
There was not semblance of disorder.
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the
occasion and will long remember the
pleasures of the day and never forget
the Importance of the occasion.

THE SPEECHES
OF WEDNEDAY,

Seldom have more interesting and
eloquent addresses been made in Cum
breland county than those of Wednes-
day at the Tea Burning Monument
dedication.
Senator B. H. Minch, the presiding
officer, was impressive in his introduc-
tory remarks, and was warmly ap-
plauded for his reference to the lauda-
BILE work of the women who had
brought the monument into being,
Former Governor Stokes in presenting
the monument to the State for the
Commission was also eloquent. There
former Governor said that this is an
hour of satisfaction to the State. Three
had been erected monument Of Ma
tional interest. It is on our own soil
and tells Of the deed of our ancestors.
He referred to the modesty of South
Jersey and referred to the advantage of
New England because her sons wrote
the early history of the nation, and
gave due prominence to their own
locality. Every school history tells of
the tea party at Boston Harbor. but
few know that on the bank of the Co.
hansey occurred deed Of equal i'm
portance. The tea party at Boston
consigned the despised article to the
waters of the Bay. The tea burners
here watched it go up in smoke-a
mere difference between a baptism of
water and a baptism of fire.
Governor Stokes referred to the past
and the Importance of the work of our
ancestors. He gave some interesting
history of South Jersey and spoke Of
the Importance of Greenwich at the
time when Bridgeton was only SUBJ
urb of that important market centre.
He referred eloquently to the Fithians,
the Bonds, the Maskells, the Gibbons,
the Ewings the Bacons, the Sheppards,
the Howells, the Wards, the Goulds,
the Reeves, the Seeleys and others
worthy of memory who made the early
history of Greenwich. The former
Governor then briefly explained the
hatred Of the early colonists of tea
under the rule of George 3d., and then
drew picture Of the daring of the tea
burners, the memory and deeds of
whom were to-day thus honored. The
Governor referred to the work of the
Daughters Of the Revolution, referred
to Prof. Warren Sheppard and his sng
gestion for this monument, and then
turning to Governor Fort, the former
Governor presented the monument to
the State.
In receiving the monument for the
State, Governor Fort made strong,
able, thoughtful address, although he
declared he had not been apprised that
he was to make an extended speech.
1t was his purpose to receive the monu-
ment and he had felt that the entire
field would be covered by Prof Warren
Sheppard, the orator of the day. But
Governor Fort impressively presented
some earnest thoughts with application
to the present time. He paid the high
est compliment to the patriotic sons of
Cumberland county, the men who had
dared to defy the power of the British
government when they refused to suffer
taxation without representation. Gov
ernor Fort proudly proclaimed that
New Jersey, small as it is, was always
wonderful state. He recalled the
fact that New Jersey was one of the
original thirteen states, the first to be
in and by the grace Of God it would
stay there and help to keep the others
in.
Governor Fort felt that the monu-

If You Suffer from Headaches and
Dizzy Spells Do Not Mistake
The Cause.

The headaches and dizzy feelings that
trouble so many persons, are often but
symptoms OF kidney CON plaint. Nature
gives early warnings of every disease, if
you would but note and heed them
Backache, twinges of pain when stoop-
ing or lifting, headaches, faint spells and
urinary disorders are among the first
warnings of kidney trouble. II these
signals are unheeded, there comes a
steady, dull heavy aching in the back
and loins, noticeable weakness and loss
OF flesh, rheumatic attacks, weakening
OF the sight, irregular heart action, lam
guor, attacks of gravel, irregular passages
OF the kidney secretions, sediment, pain
full, scalding sensation, dropsical bloat-
ing, etc. But there is no need to suffer
long. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid
ney troubles. This remedy has made
reputation for quick relief and lasting
cures.

OUR NATIONAL TICKET.

U. s. Loughary says that during the
month OF August, no pounds Of butter
from the Townsend creamery was sold
from his store. A little rapid calcu-
latlon of the number of stores in
Dallas and neighboring cities that are
handling the products Of the Townsend
creamery, gives one a rather astonish-
ing glimpse into the real importance
Of this apparently modest. little
industry that has been developed in
our city within only a little more than
year.
