MEMORIES OF THE PAST
Patriotism Can Be Maintained Only
Through Remembrance.

Editor of the Banner:-I read in
the Banner a while ago an article on
the desirability of erecting a suitable
monument to mark the spot on
which stood the Old First church in
Old Bennington. The spot is an
ideal one and is just a little north
west of the present church on the
public green, or the Parade as 1t was
called in early times. The design for
the proposed monument consists of
a bronze figure over eight feet high,
representing colonial preacher
gowned in the conventional dress of
the time. The preacher has an open
Bible in his left hand and with the
index finger of the right hand is
pointing to a passage of scripture,
upon which he is earnestly address
ing his hearers.
The idea of marking the site of
the original church by suitable
monument is of. rather recent date
and has aroused much enthusiasm
among those who are familiar with
the history of the town.
Bennington is the old mother town
of Vermont and has a long and in
NClCcNih6 hictOlgs buN tntiC arc lew
pages in our history more replete
with interest and importance than
the story of the old church. 1t can
almost be said that the beginning Of
Bennington started on that very
spot, and the succession Of important
local and state events that occurred
in the old edifice has given 1t a dis
tinction in historical sense that no
other local spot possesses.
There is no need to repeat
here the reasons why this
spot was chosen by the pioneers OF
Bennington 10 form a church organ

" took place in the old church.
When the people OF Bennington full
~ understand and appreciate the re-
'ation which the history OF the old
church bears TO the history OF Ben
nington and OF Vermont, the money
viii be promptly forthcoming to erect
this imposing memorial, which will
not only be an ornament to the park.
but a memorial to their good judg-
ment, intelligence and keen apprecia-
den Of important local history.

TREAT FOR MUSIC LOVERS
Opera Patience" at the 5ennlnoton
Next Wednesday Evening.

The people Of Bennington, whose
music-loving qualities are so well
known and among whom are so
many fine musicians will be afforded
great treat next week Wednesday
evening when Patience" is given at
our opera house. There is probably
no place OF Its size in New England
where music is given a higher place
than right here in Bennington. Visit
tors have frequnetly remarked about
the high order Of our local talent In
this direction. II is expected that
the record attendance OF the season
will be seen at the opera house next
wednesday evening when the Adams
Musical society produces the comic
and aesthetic opera Patience
Many, who have had the privilege
OF seeing this opera as given BY the
Adams seventy speak in the highest
terms OF the work and were more
than satisfied with the entertain
ment and had more than value re-
ceived.

TAKING THEIR
DINNERP ALL
Two of Accused Own Up to
Bolton Crime
GOODRICA'S TRIAL STARTED
McCabe and Sweeney Turn States
Evidence and Tell the Whole
Story.

Burlington. May 21.-Henry Nc
Cabe, foreman of the Central Yer
mont railroad section gang at Bolton,
and James Sweeney, a member of
the section gang, who have been held
in Jail here, charged with manslau-
ghter in connection with the death
of Sam Rounds. negro, at Bolton
on April 10, pleaded guilty in Chit
tenden County court this afternoon
after withdrawing the pleas of not
guilty, which they had entered rev
iously.
The men were remanded to jail to
await sentence it is understood that
they will be used as witnesses for
the state in the case of the state
against Henry Goodrich, who is
standing trial on a similar charge.
The Goodrich trial was begun this
afternoon. A large number of wit
ne -ces were called by the state but
it is probable that the case will not
require many days to complete.
States Attorney Hopkins and Attor'
ney General Brown are conducting
the prosecution. The respondent
is represented by Max L. Powell, Guy
NJ. Page and j. H. Page.
The testimony was mainly con-
corning the events that led up to
the drowning of the negro. The lat
ter was accused of stealing dinner
pail from the section camp near Boil
ton and it is alleged was thrown into
the river and drowned before he
could be pulled out. 1t is claimed
that Goodrich was one of the men
who "twitched" the negro into the
water.
Witnesses told of seeing Sweeney
and Goodrich chasing Rounds
through field and of seeing the neg
no knocked down and "twitched" by
Sweeney and hearing the latter tell
the negro that if he had knife he
would cut out his heart. Testi-
mony was introduced to show that
the negro had pleaded with his ac-
cusers to let him go as he was cold
and hungry and had nothing to eat
for three days.
The first witness for the state was
DR.. B. H. Stone of the state labora-
tory, who testified concerning the au-
topsy he performed on the negro's
body. DR.. Stone said there was no
doubt that Rounds met death by
drowning as the lung cells were fill
ed with froth. This condition re-
suits said DR.. Stone, when a person
tries desperately to breathe under
water

LOOKS LIKE SHORT
JUNE TER N OF
COUNTY COURT
Court ndJury Calender Smaller
Than Usual
JUDGE BUTLER PREsIDES
No State Cases Set for Trial and
Session of Grand Jury May Be
Unnecessary.

Fewer cases than usual are set for
trial at the June term of Bennington
county court which opens at Man
chester on the first Tuesday in the
month and the jury and court calen-
dar would seem to indicate that the
term will be short and of not much
general interest.
There are no state cases set for
trial for jury and while there are a
few minor matters pending there
may not be any necessity for a SEES
sion of the grand jury. The same
condition prevailed year ago.

FOREST FIRE WARNING
State Forester Halves Gives Instruc'
tions for Prevention.

lions lot TTcNCfltiOHs
State Forester Austin F. Halves of
Burlington in warning the public as
TO the necessity for caution at this
season of the year in regard TO start
ing forest fires has written The Ban
ner as follows
wish to call the attention of your
readers to the present danger of for
est fires. Not since the bad season
of 1908 has there been such danger
of fire in the woods. The small
amount of snow of the past winter
melted early, and while there was an
abnormal rainfall in March, the
ground is now becoming very dry.
The chief causes of fire at this time
of year are fishermen, railroad loco
motives, portable steam mills, and
people burning brush. 1t is very easy
to start bad fire by carelessly drop
ping cigar or cigarette stub in dry
leaves, and fishermen should be es-
pecially careful to throw such stubs
into the water, and to see that camp
fires are thoroughly extinguished.
The worst fire of the season thus
far was on the line of the Central
Vermont railroad in Middlesex. This
fire which started on Thursday, May
l, burned for three days before it
was put out, and covered over 1000
acres. During the last session of
the Legislature the House passed a
law similar to that in forcec in Mass
achusetts, New York and Canada,
requiring the use of efficient spark
arresters on locomotives and port
able saw mills during certain months
of the year. This bill was killed in
the state Senate. The Middlesex
fire, and one recently set in the town
if Fletcher by portable mill, plain
ly show the need of such law. and
it is to be hoped that there will be
time for this legislation at the spec
ial session.
Farmers who have brush to burn
should pick out time to do it when
there is no danger of forest fires
Preferably it should be done early in
the spring before the snow Is gone
from the woods. At least they should
choose days when there is no wind
and just after a rain. Everyone
should realize that he is responsible
for any damage done in this way to
a neighbor, just as If he set fire to
barn.
The opinion Is all too common that
forest fires do no damage unless
they burn in valuable softwood tim
Der. While crown fires do not occur
in harwood forests, this class of tim
Der is seriously injured by ground
fires. The wounds caused by such
fires on birch and maple make an
entering place for fungus diseases
which quickly rot out the center of
the trees. Often a young growth of
spruce and other trees of 10 or 20
years standing is killed by such
fires, and the fertility of the soil is
seriously damaged by the removal of
the humus.
Anyone who discovers a forest fire
should do everything possible to put
1t out. If he finds that he cannot
handle it, he should Immediately not
ify the nearest fire warden. The fire
wardens are authorized to arrest
without warrant anyone whom they
find in the act of setting fires; they
may employ men at town expense to
extinguish fires. and in dangerous
times, with the consent of the state
forester, may employ men TO patrol
regions of special danger.
