Words OF PATRIOTISM,

Followin. is an extract from per-
soma letter from Hon. 7. D. Bry on of
Eryscn City which take the Ii erty
to publish. 1t is the feeling of a
worthy son of noble sire express
ed in such terms of patriosm as
we'll as beauty of diction that |
feel it would be a distinct loss for
the public, especially the young
men OF jackson, in the face of our
duty to the Confederate soldiers, to
lose tt am unable to tell YOU
how much | appreciate your kind
ness in allowing me to be of some
small assistance in the erection of
this monument. There is no cause
that IS nearer to my heart, or il
which feel deeper interest than
| 90 in keeping green in the mem
ory OF the generations to come the
noble achievement, heroic valor and
patriotism of those who march
ed under the flag of the Southern
Confederacy.
They fought and died for an ideal.
Their devotion to the cause that
they deemed just is written in let
tiers Of blood upon many battle
fields, aud the rear guard of that
grand army is now rapidly march
ing to the last roll-call and soon
taps will have sounded. To those
of us who have the honor to be
sons OF those who once wore the
gray is left the precious heritage
and one not lightly to be regarded
and it behooves us all if we hope to
be considered worthy sons of our
valiant sires to keep bright their
memory and by our tribute of
words and example burnish bright
er, if possible, the shield of their
valor.'

letter FROM
WASHINGTON.
MIR. D. L. Robinson,
Willet, N. c.

Willet, N. C.
Dear Sir:-As | have been living
in this country for quite a while, |
will write and give you my honest
opinion of this state as l see it, re-
questing you to have it published
in the Journal for the benefit of my
old friends of Jackson county.
This state is going to be a pauper
state i'll the near future. 1t has
been growing worse for the past
five years. | should not advise any
QUE to come to look for work or for
home. The state is overrun with
both classes. You tell all you see
who are thinking of coming west as
soon as the war is over, thinking
there is better chance for him, he
will be sadly disappointed. For the
classes who will in short while
make this the hardest country in
the united states for the laboring
man to make an honest living, have
got the hold in this country.
The time has been when a good,
steady boy coul6:: save some money
here, but it will never be again. l
have been in this state and other
surrounding states the greater part
of Is years. as you all who know
me know, and l think | know what
| am talking about. When the
home seeker comes to buy land he
must pay SO cts. in the dollar for
climate.
The idea of the war bringing pros
perity is foolish one so far as the
Pacific coast states are concerne
These states have had their boom.
They rose, but fell never to rise
again. Land that sold readily at a
good price three years ago. must
90 begging now, simply: because it
will not produce as it once did.
If a man comes here to work in
the lumber industry he must COM
pete with the cheapest labor of
Europe. All the big lumber camps

STUDENTS REUNION,
Jackson County Journal,

Sylvia, N. C.
A few months ago | suggested,
through the columns of the Journal,
that we have reunion of the stu
dents, patrons and friends of the
DaWson-Hughes school of East La
Porte Academy. A Committee was
appointed to arrange a program,
but nothing definite has been ar
ranged, or rather, been announced.
The time has arrived when we
should get busy" If agreeable with
the committee, and if no other
arrangements have been made, |
would like to suggest that Saturday
September 25th, be set apart as the
date for this occasion: since that
would give those who are at a dis
tance an opportunity to attend both
this reunion and the Jackson Coun-
ty Fair
Would like to suggest also that
each one interested make an effort
to notify the students at a distance
of this occasion.

COURT HOUSE GROUNDS
TO BE IMPROVED

The County Commissioners have
employed men to clean off and
level up the grounds on the court

beautiful county seats to be found
any where.

After the game a reception was
given to the visitors at which refresh
ments were served by Miss Palon's
domestic science class. A good time
was the verdict of our Madison visit
ors. The game Saturday was some
what rough at times but Referee Skin
ner and Umpire Schmidt, with the
assistance of Field Judge DR.. Jackson,
kept things going and the game ended
with Brookings and Madison better
friends than ever before. The Madi-
son team is composed of manly fell
lows and they. made hosts of friends
by their gentlemanly conduct. They
maintained a splendid spirit of fellow
ship throughout the game and at the
reception given them by the local
school.
Crucial Game Next Saturday
Perhaps the most crucial game of
the eason will be played next Satur-
day wen Brookings will meet the
Sioux sails high team at State field.
If Brookings wins this game the road
to the state championship will be COM
paratively easy. Both teams are un-
usually strong and this will be n of
the great games of the season. A bat
tie royal is expected that is sure to
draw a large crowd.
The game will be played at 1870 and
after the high school game State Col.
lege will meet Huron College for their
first game of the season. Football fans

REPORT A GOOD MEETING

The Franchise League meeting held
last Friday afternoon was well attend
ed and proved a most interesting ses-
sion. Mrs. Flora Mitchell recently re-
turned from the state w. c. T. U. con-
vention and gave an enthusiastic re-
port, encouraging alike to temperance
and suffrage workers. The three best
reasons" for giving women the ballot
showed some diverse points of view
and aroused considerable discussion,
but it seemed to be the general opin-
ion that the taxation without repre-
sentation" and the consent of the
governed" arguments were after all
fundamental. though the imperative
need of giving women greater power
in promoting the welfare of home and
family was conceded.

ONE O. /. ANDERSON WANTED

Ten or twelve weeks ago a "hobo"
butcher and sausage maker, calling
himself Oscar l.. Anderson, arrived in
Bookings, without funds. He obtain
ed employment at the Orhrans meat
market in this city.
Today that same Oscar l.. Anderson
is the possessor of several new articles
of clothing and has about $4,000 in
his pocket. But in addition to being a
butcher and sausage maker he is a
forger and fugitive from justice.
Last Saturday night Anderson forged
the name of Mrs. M. d. Orhrans to five
checks and successfully passed them
on five Brookings merchants. The
Gillespie & Rogers shoe firm, Olson &
Graves clothing store, Ellis-Hall Co.
department store and Saum & Son,
grocers, are each holders Of worthless
checks for $500, while the Columbia
Clothing Co. possesses one of $1,000.
To each check Mrs. Orhrans' name
was signed, with the undersignature of
the bookkeeper at the market. The
one passed at the Columbia Clothing
Co.. had the name of Miss Johanna
Olson under Mrs. Orhran's name, while
the others had the name of Miss
Glenna Johnson, former bookkeeper at
the market. At the Alton meat market
Anderson also gave a $500 check in
payment of a debt of s1.00. The latter
check was a good one however.
At each store Anderson purchased a
few articles, paying for them by his
checks and received the balance due
in currency. During the period of his
employment at the local meat market
he had become sufficiently &C
quainted with Bookings merchants so
that nothing of a forgery nature was
suspected when he passed the checks.
When the facts were discovered later
he had left for points unknown, and
nothing concerning his whereabouts
nave uttH ltdlh Q Wy ~ 'SA'p
investigating the case. States Attor-
ney Wallace f. Purdy has the case in
charge and authorities in nearby cities
have been notified to be on the lookout
for the man. Attorney Purdy says he
is surprised that the butcher, who was
a hobo and a practical stranger to
Brookings residents, should success
fully carry out his forging scheme. The
imitation of the handwriting of the
b~ookkeepers was very crude. he said.
A reward of $500 for information
leading to the arrest Of Anderson has
been offered by the states attorney,
and a warrant has been issued for his
arrest. He has been described as about
26 years of age, five feet and five
inches in heighth, weight about l6O
pounds, slightly ford complexion, Dan
ish nationality and speaks English
very brokenly. He has various tattoo
marks on his forearm that should be
easily recognizable.
