A message was received here to-
day from Jackson county to the eff
feet that the grand jury has found
true ullls against Joe Zachary and

be received here Of the killing, the
three men had been Ito the com

township school, in company with

LAW SCHOOL

1t was learned with regret all over
this part of the State that the trus-
tees of Wake Forest College had &C.
clded not to move the Summer Law
School from Wake Forest to Sylvia,
this summer.
Sylvia made good fight and pro-
duced some splendid inducements
to the Wake Forest College author
tiles and for a while it certainly
looked as if the Summer law school
would occupy the buildings of the
Sylvia Collegiate Institute however
the trustees think it not advisable
to make the move at this time and
the law school will be held at Wake
Forest this summer as usual under
the efficient instruction of Prof. N

Uf JACKSON Cd.
HOME OWNERS.


First among the advantages pos
sessed by this county is a citizenship
composed almost exclusively of
home owners rather than tenants.
In many counties tnis is not the case
but rather the opposite. Many coun-
ties have large tenant clan. Here
the people nearly all own their own
homes and cultivate their own land.
This is all ideal condition in dem
0cracy. Small farms owned, occupied
and cultivated by permanent citi
zens produce the best industrial
community. In this respect Jackson
County is exceptionally fortunate.
HOME FOLKS.
But better still these farmers are
native North CarOiinians. The for
ei9ner is unknown here For generat-
ions the ancestry Of the present
population of the county has lived
and wrought in the old North State.
Ii fact perhaps the vast majority
Of our people, are descended from
ancestors identified with the State
from colonial times. This means we
have population Of good, true, pure
North Carolinians. Hence our tradit-
ions are more inspiring in county
and site building

THE PREVAILING WEATHER

are, many evidences OF an i'm
movement in business. The farm
Srs have their crops gathered and a
hetter crop of corn has never been pro
dnced in Crawford county, and, added
to this, is the fact that good prices
prevail for the products OF the farm.
From now on we predict with the
large deliveries of corn that money

means larger trade for the merchant.

MORE OF HAssoN BROTHERS.

A communication purpOrting to come
from Shenandoah, la. contains the in
teresting information that a move is
about to be inaugurated whereby the
government OF Syria proposes to have
the Hassen brothers, who were cllarg-
ed with the murder of their cousin,
Fred Naufle, and convicted OF the
crime, released from Imprisonment.
The statement is made that attorneys
have already been employed to bring
about their release: that the father
OF the deceased has made statement
in which he claims that an investiga-
tion discloses tho Hassen brothers
we're not implicated in his sons death
and that they should be released from
custody.
1t would be most remarkable if it
should turn ont that the accused are
not guilty of the crime of numbering
their cousin in view Of the fact that
sentiment in the county was so pro-
nounced against the defendants at the
time of the trial, and the feeling ran
so high against the Hassen boys that
even their counsel who worked prac-
tically without fee were censured
for the performance of their duty in
defending the defendants.
Judging from what is stated in the
communication we scarcely believe
that the evidence claimed has been
discovered. Whether the boys are
guilty or not there is such an aggre.
cation Of circumstances against them
that it would require q very strong
showing to secure the release which
is suggested We imagine that when
the matter is carefully sifted it will
develOpe that the report from Shcnan
doah is more sensational than reliable.
