THE BATTLE OF EMucKFAN:

we nOt1ce that DllI mas been lntrO- duced by Hon. c. W. Thompson asking the Federal Government to appropriate the sum of s2.5o0 for a monument at Emuckfau battle ground "to mark the resting place and to commemorate the valor of the volunteer soldiers in the Creek Indian war who fought under Gen. eral Jackson, and fell and are buried on said battlefield" While we know of no special reason why a monument should be erected there, rather than at Tallusahatchie, Talladega. Autosse, Holy Ground. Calebee, Tohopeka or other places where battles were fought, 1t is certain that the fight at
 Emuchfau was a serious affair, and Jacksa Chula Hadjo, or "old mad Jack son." as the Indians called him, came as near to having his hands full there and thereabouts as he ever did in his career. The Indians always claimed that they defeated General Jackson, and if we judge by the immediate results they were not far wrong.
 General Jackson, travelling south from
 
 Iage of Emuckfau, on the creek of the same name. on the evening of January 2l, 1s14 with an army of eight or nine hun" dred white soldiers, part of them mount ed, and about two hunderd friendly ln- dians. Here he saw such indsputable evidence of the presence of the hostiles that he encamped and threw up some temporary defences against a night at- tack. He was not disappointed for his camp was assailcd on all sides just before daylight on the morning of the 22nd. and though the Indians were repulsed they returned more than once to the attack and fought with unusual determination and savage ferocity. They were finally defeated and pursued for many miles by the mounted whites.
 This ended the Emuckfau battle, Jack son having lost thirty in killed and about seventy wounded according to his re- ports. But the Indians were neither de- moralized nor disheartened. and when the army was crossing Enitachopco Creek where there was a Hillabee town, he was again furiously assailed on the 24th of January. and very narrowly escaped total rout. By the bravery of the men and the skill of the officers the army was extricated and continued its return march to Fort Strother.
 This is a brief account of the fighting at the two places. and when the Indians boasted that they whipped Captain Jackson and drove him to the Coosa River" they didn't exaggerate much, for it required several weeks to rest and re- cruit the army before he again started south on the expedition which wound up the war at Horse Shoe Bend. The sum asked by Colonel Thompson is a small amount and we hope Congress will allow It. A litthle public money spent to com memorate the bravery of the Americans in those troublous times will not be amiss, and those who fell at Emuckfau are as deserving of a monument as were those who died on other and more pretentious battle fields. Alabama gets but little of the public money in any way. and the government might surely appropriate an amount which any well-to-do citizen would spend on a private monument in the cemetary If the entire delegation from the State will work together there should be no doubt of the result.

that Alabama timber should be worked up at home The Russell Register says:
 These facts were clearly demonstrated in Scale only two or three years ago, when several train loads of timber were cut from the Cchee swamp and shipped from here to Savannah and thence by steamer to Spain. where it was to be made into barrels. When the people of the South learn the necessity of utilizing the resurces which have been so lavishly bestowed upon this section. instead of allowing others to reap the benefits. a brighter day will have dawned upon us.

The New Orleans Times Democrat says: ''The growth of the cotton manu- featuring industry of the South is elo- ouently presented in the single fact that up to May 30. this year, Southern mills took 1,423,579 bales, or 42 per cent of the entire quantity taken for consump- ton in the mills of the United States. In a few years. at the present rate of Southern progress. Southern mills will be consuming yearly more bales than Northern mills. It will then remain for the South to get increased profit from cotton manufacturing by making the finer qualities of goods. This will come in time. A beginning has been made already."

The question of labor on the
farm and IN the dairy is getting
to be very serious one, indeed.
Blessed is the man who has born
unto him many sons. He is the
only one who is now master of the
situation, and his mastcrship will
only last so long as his boys are
understood and there is not
war cry to carry them off.
Evidently the way tokeepthese
boys at home is not the old way
of getting all the work you can
out of them without anything 10
the way of wages or financial in
terest in the work done. The
father has lots of room to osome
pretty hard thinking along thsee
lines, or he will wake up some
fine morning and find allhis birds
flown.
Why should 1t not be we'll, fair
and wise to reason abOutllke this:
Johns work is worth to me what
l would have to pay for it in the
open market if he were not my
son. 1t is useless to talk about
what he has cost you to bring
him up. You volunteer that SER
vice when you marry, and he
owes you nothing for that. We
will say nothing about love and
filial affeC ton because we are now
taking business, whether you
can hold your son to his work
and continue him where you want
him, and the mother must have
him if it can be done.
Both of you, mother and father,
put your heads together and rea-
son out what his labor is worth
to you after deducting board and
clothes, lodging don't count. 1t
will be easy to figure out how he
compares witha full mans work.
No matter how little it is pay him
for it and promise more when he
earns it and keep your word. It
is not best or necessary to pay
him all in cash, but a small
part of it should be in hard mon
ey, that he can see, feel ond get
used to it SO that a nelghbor' 5
wages will not set him crazy the
first time he gets it.
Let him feel that som ething is
coming to him every month and
let him know that he will get it,
and thereby learn the value of
money. The larger part of his
pay should be in pigs, calves and
other matters about the farm and
give him to understand that those
animals will belong to HIM when
he earns them, and that You only
retain a mortgage on them, so
that should they die or get lost or
stolen it will be his loss of owner.
ship while you lose only the UNI
paid part.
This should be done with tn ,
view of teaching him the |. ssol
of life, that all money venture :
have their risk and that he must
learn to be his losses like other
men. With those animals he has
already paid for with his labor
encourage him to dosome trading
he may learn how it feels to get
skinned, and he will then keep
his eyes open next time. There
is room for salutary experience
for young man all through such
an arrangement.

Moros usually fly red flag attached to a

The Moros had at Maciu some home
made devices for war. one Of which, though
1t seemed ridiculous. was much more effec-
tive than one would have supposed. 1t
consisted Of a followed tube Of wood ar
ranged vertically in a base block. The
base block was set in stone and earth
Powder Is placed in the tube and then

put out Of action by getting hit in the face
with a stone apparently shot from one Of
these wooden guns, while another man
was wounded in the ankle and a third in
the back. In the Maciu battle no one was
hurt by these missiles.
Toward daylight on Oct 2, after we had
been on the alert all night, the yells of the
Moros ceased and the firing discontinued.
Gradually many Of the inmates Of the fort
had been picked on by our marksmen and
the few remaining concluded to escape
through an underground passage to the tall
grass. Possibly handful got out in this way
