A CONFEDERATE DIARY.
1t Was Kept by Capt. Brookfeld During the
Civil War.


To the Editor: have in my possession
diary that was picked up on the battle
field of Peterboro, and belonged to Capt.
Jacob Brookfield OF Johnston county, North
Carolina. He was in the Fifth North
Carolina Infantry, in VERSIONS brigade.
The diary runs from July 2Oth 1853 to
May 18th, 1864, and is very interesting, as
ne constantly mentions the names of
prominent men Of both North and South
and also the men of his own company
who enlisted in Johnston and Wake coun-
les.
It contains about 1000 words. ] have
tried without success to find some mem
Der of Captain Brookfelds family as I
desired to return to him the original
diary. If you know anything of the
Brookfelds l shall be grateful if you will
put me in communication with them
A prompt reply will oblige
Yours very truly,

The New York Commercial is agitat-
ing a proposition 10 secure the hand
ling and quotation of cotton seed pro-
ducts on the exchanges. 1t thinks
the producers would be benefited.
The cotton seed business has become
so great that the Columbia State
looks to see the establishment of a
separate exchange for transactions in
it and its leading products. Some peo-
pie believe that within a few years
the cotton seed will be worth as much
to the farmer as the lint.

The Hull bill will make our army
$13. 100000 more than the army of the
British Empire and only $12,0O0,000
less than France pays for its stand
ing army. Germanys army costs only
ST, 100000 more. And yet, when the
Democrats in the campaign declared
that the Republican policy tended
toward militarism, they were de-
nounced. Step by step the Republi-
cans are doing exactly what they de-
clared they would not do.

The Democrats in Congress are
clearly right in demanding the aboli-
ton of the war tax. The President
has officially declared that the war
in the Philippines ended last Spring.
Why keep up the war tax if there is
no war?

The wise cotton farmer, who has
bread anu meat at home, is not be-
coming excited over the temporary
slump in the cotton market, brought
about by the bears, ON the heels Of
the government report indicating that
the cotton crop is a few hundred
bales over a ten million bale crop.
They know that the world needs their
cotton and must pay a fair price for
it if they refuse to be stampeded by
a Wall street attempt to depress the
price in the interest of foreign spin
ners.

ted to make an examination of the
hooks and papers of the bank in

within q few days to make re-

was encouraging, and indicates
that the assets Of the bank will
pay considerable proportion of

its own valuation upon the real

that the assets would pay at least
$40O, 900 of the 1924, 45S liabilities,

A new religious sect called the

A new religious sect called the
Abilennial Dawn circle is gaining
ground in Pennsylvania. The dis
ciples believe that the millennium is
at hand and reject the idea that the
world will ever come to an end.
Neither do they believe in the doctrine
of eternal punishment. According to
their ideas, the millennium will arrive
within fifteen years, and meantime
the world will be agitated by wars and
fearsOme natural commissions.
The Venetian press advocates drastic
measures for stamping out the or
gained robbery which prevails throug-
out the Italian railway system. Sus-
pecting that the whole body of railway
officials is implicated they consider
that the OILY effectual remedy would
be the collective dismissal or punish
ment of every official engaged upon a
train in which robbery takes place.
