FINE MOHUMEHT UHYEILED
EXERCISES AT BATTUE GROUND
HONORED MEMORY OF
GENERAL GREENE.
Thousands of people gathered Sat
urday upon the battlefield of Guil
ford Court House, listened to the ad
dresses of many prominent speakers
and saw the $30,000 memorial mon
ument to General Nathanael Greene
unveiled. It was one of the largest,
if not the largest, crowd ever seen
upon the historic battlefield. At 8
o'clock the trains began going out
from Greensboro and by that
time people began coming from the
country and surrounding towns by
automobile and all sorts of other ve
hicles. The grounds were covered
by noon with automobiles, fruit, lem
onade and lunch stands, intermingled
with people.
The principal speakers of the day
were authorized representatives of
seven of the original thirteen states,
being the seven states that had troops
at the battle of Guilford Court
House. The states represented were
North and South Carolina. Georgia,
Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and
Rhode Island. The addresses were
full of historic material and were
listened to with close interest.
President Paul W. Schenck. of the
Guilford Battle Ground Company,
presided over the day's exercises,
and to him is due the credit for a
successful day's program. He had
worked untiringly. Occasional show
ers of rain did not dampen the ardor
of the occasion or interfere with any
of the scheduled events.
The Day's Program.
The program of exercises of the
lay began with the march from the

At the conclusion of these exer

served on the grounds by the Guil

the speakers following this luncheon
were President E. K. Graham, of the
State University; ex-Congressman
John M. Morehead, of Charlotte, who
introduced the bill in Congress for
the appropriation for the monu
ment; Hon. Charles R. Thomas, ex
congrssman, of Newbern; Dr. C. Al

Iescriptioii of Monument.
The bill appropriating the funds
for the monument was passed by
Congress in 1911, and carried an ap
propriation of $30,000. The sculp
tor was Mr. F. H. Packer, of New
York. The architect was Albert Ran
dolph Ross, of New York city. The
monuemnt is said by the National
Fine Arts Commission to be one of
the finest in the country, and is not
surpassed by any in artistic merit. It
has a magnificently designed base
and the equestrian statue of Gen
eral Greene is said to be very realis
tic. The inscription on the monu
ment was prepared by Dr. C. Alphon
so Smith, of the University of Vir:
ginia. in competition with many
others. It is as follows:

DR. JONES BEGINS CAMPAIGN
AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER.
The active campaign against ty
phoid fever will be begun in Guil
ford county this week, Dr. W. M.
Jones, county health officer, having
made definite arrangements as to the
days on which he will be able to visit
different sections of the county to
give anti-typhoid vaccine. He will
be assisted in this work by Dr. J. T.
J. Battle, and it is his hope that dur
ing the month of July all people liv
ing in the vicinity of 'places visited
will take advantage of the opportun
ity to be immunized against the dis
ease. Dr. Jones wishes again to
stress the point that through this im
munization treatment the county can
be freed absolutely of typhoid; and
there is no danger attached to the
treatment. This was demonstrated
last year, when over 3.000 citizens of
the county were vaccinated without a
single one feeling any ill effects that
interfered with work.
The schedule on which Dr. Jones
and Dr. Battle will work in the coun
ty is announced as follows:

The parade moved across the bat

impression upon the thousand of peo
ple that thronged the line of march.
The speakers' pavilion would not be
gin to hold the crowd. About the
pavilion was a great throng of peo
ple. A large chorus of the city's
best singers occupied a platform es
pecially built for it and the music by
the chorus and the North Carolina
regimental band was a splendid fea
ture. The address of welcome was made
by Mr. A. M. Scales, representing
Governor Craig, who had been ex
pected to perform this duty but sent
his regrets.
Other addresses were made by
Hon. George R. Gaither, of Balti

The speech of presentation of the

which erected it at-a cost of $30,000,
by Senator Lee S. Overman. It was
accepted for the Battle Ground As
sociation by Congressman Charles
M. Stedman.
Monument Unveiled.
At the conclusion of the addresses
the procession was reformed, and,
led by the band and chorus, march
ed through double lines of troops
to the Greene Memorial monument.
At the head of the procession were
Capt. Howard B. Allen and Capt.
William M. Owen, of the Barnum
j Continentals, a military organization
of East Greenwich, Rhode Island,
which was the home town of Gen
eral Greene, and of which organiza
tion General Greene was a charter
member.
The trops then passed in review
and drew up at "present arms." The
"Star Spangled Banner" was render
ed by the chorus and band. A dedi
catory prayer was offered by Bishop
Edward Rondthaler, of the Mora
vian church. The monument was un
veiled by Mrs. Anna Clarke Meador,
of Providence, R. I., a lineal descen
dant of General Greene.

Cornwallis: "Greene is as danger

it. in the heroism that signalized it.

continental soldier and volunteer
militiaman, honor and award are
alike due. They need neither . de
fense nor eulogy, but just recogni

monument, therefore, as an expres
sion of its solemn pride in the men
who fought here, of its imperishable
devotion to their memory, and of its
unalterable confidence in the per
manence of the principles which
their example vindicated."
Guilford Battle Ground is located
five miles northwest of Greensboro,
and the place of the battle is a mile
from the old Guilford court house.
There are fifty or more monuments
upon the field. A hundred and twenty-five
acres of land here is owned by
the Battle Ground Company, which
has improved and beautified it until
it is a lovely park. There is also a
cemetery upon the property, where
the soldiers killed in the battle were
buried. The grounds contain several
natural springs, a lake, and several
buildings have been erected on the
property. The railroad passes di
rectly through the property and a
station is located in the midst of the
battlefield.
ing taking his booty to the camp
and there setting up a kind of haber
dashery of his own among the labor
ers at the camp. The officer caught
sight of the negro on the car at White
Oak and on seeing the large sack
well filled with something, he de
cided that he had better make an in
vestigation into the matter. When
the officer saw the contents of the
sack, suspicion was aroused within
him enough to cause him to arrest
the negro and demand an explana
tion. The negro was brought to the city
and in the meantime the owner of
the goods. Mr. Teague. of Staley, of
Teague & Son. merchants at that
place, had arrived and when the
goods were brought into the sheriffs
office they were immediately identi
fied by Mr. Teague as being those
stolen from his store Thursday night.
Another thing that made the identi
fication absolutely authentic was a
bracelet of Mr. Teague's daughter
which had been left in the cash
drawer the night before by the young
lady, and which was found in the ne
gro's pocket. The name of the young
lad was engraved inside the brace
let. Besides the bracelet and other
jewelry taken from the cash draw
er. $10 in nickels and dimes were
stolen. All these were found on the
negro. The negro was locked up in
the county jail to await trial.
SOLICITOR SCHENCK IS

Solicitor Michael Schenck, of Hon
dersonville, formerly of Greensboro,
was viciously assaulted at the Battle
Ground Saturday morning by F. E.
Tipton, of this city, who is in the
marble and granite business.
Tipton spoke to Mr. Schenck, then
pushed him from rhe side of his wife
and baby and struck him in the face,
continuing to strike him until sev
eral men rushed to Mr. Schenck's
aid and pulled Tipton off. Mr.
Schenck is a slight man while Tipton
is a huge fellow, an ex-navy man.
whose profession, stone-cutting, has
made him strong.
Mr. Schenck stated that as mayor
of Hendersonville he had on several
occasions bound Tipton over to court
and as solicitor of the district he had
prosecuted him. The assault was to
tally unexpected by Mr. Schenck and
he was given no opportunity to de
