A Strong Argument
for Dependent School

A strong argument for the rstifiea-
tion OF the proposal to build a state
school for dependent children, which
liter is referred to the people at the
I general election, was made in
nd Thursday when Clarence Park
e. nth who is out Of work, went
bets VI Juvenile court and asked to
be e, q. ed to the state training
school / y that he would have an
opportunity. = 'arn something.
If the stat q, 1T present home for
dependent ch ~ such as Clarence
Parker appears be, he could be sent
there, where he would not be compelled
to live with those boys who are sent to
the school because of their unruly ma.
ture. The sentiment in favor of a sep.
arate school for dependents and delin-
quents appears to be growing.
Secretary Hale received young Park.
er yesterday afternoon and states he
was favorahly impressed with his ap
pearance. He said he was not a bad
boy but because the state had no Other
place to send him he was committed to
the reform school. He has only one
arm but appears to be eager to learn
and acquire an education. AS it is now
the dependents and the delinquents are
herded in together indiscriinately
which system, according TO Superinten
dent Hale, is all wrong.

ers, some 1000 strong, at the Christian
church last night. The church was pack
ed to capacity, and an overflow meeting
was found to be a necessity. This was
held at the Congregational church with
Rev w. 7. White as the speaker Of the
evening. Mr.. Polling also made a short
speech to the overflow meeting.
Commencing with the motto Of the
convention, "Christ Exalted, " DR.. Pol
ing spoke for over an hour on the "iBg
Six of the c. E." In part he said:
"Christ is pre-eminent from six
standpoints of extension. This convcn-
tion is the greatest young people IS meet

years Of the Christian Endeavor, the
society has grown from a few persons in
Portland, Maine, to the four millions

SEVEN DUTCH SHIPS
WERE SUNK THURSDAY
Four HOmeward Bound With
Full CargOes---Cause Is
Unknown

London, Feb. 24.--Seven Dutch ships
with total of more than $4,000 tons
were victims of the "barred zone F."
Thursday, it was stated today.
The seven ships were sunk at western
approaches of the English channel. -Four
were homeward bound with full cargoes
1t was authoritatively stated that all
arrangements for their passage through
the danger zone were in the hands OF
the Dutch authorities. Neither the
Dutch government nor the ship owners
requested or received information from
the British admiralty as to their courses
The Holland line was own
er of two of the lost ships.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-02-24

Cable dispatches describing the sink
ing of the seven Dutch ships do NOT
mention whether the vessels were vic.
tins of a German submarine or Of
mines. 1t has been the British govern
ment s custom merely 10 announce the
sinking" Of ship, although in sev.
eral cases recently the method of this
sinking has been added.
It is barely possible that the Dutch
vessels were sunk by mines laid by the
British although this is unlikely in view
of the spot where the ships were report,
ed destroyed. 1t seems more probable
to assume that German u-boats, wait
ing off Lands End and the Scilly is
lands to prey upon commerce intended
for England were responsible.

another suitor there with whom
he couldn't agree, he pulled his
pistol and advised him to go
which he did. This frustrated
matters considerably, the women
also running and screaming mur-

before Mayor Henry, confessed
his guilt, and volunteered to the
court the source of his liquor
supply. He said that he been
buying at Is cents a drink or So

Death of Judge Watson.

Brandon was saddened Mon
day morning when the death of
Judge William Mayes Watson
was announced, the sad event
occurring at his home on College
street at z o'clock, June Is,
1917.
Judge Watson was one of our
oldest and most highly esteemed
citizens. He was born in Cobb
county, Ca, December Il, 1874;
enlisted in the confederate army
at the age of Is land served the
entire four years, making one of
the best soldiers of his company.
After the close of the war he
moved to moved Rankin county.
and on January /, 1880, was hap
PLY married to Miss Mary Tur-
colt, to which union seven chill
dren were Eborn, four of whom
survive him Misses Pearl and
Minnie, and William, jr., and
Harvey.
! Mr.. Watson united with the
Presbyterian church when q
years old, and lived a devout
and consistent christian, being
an elder in the Brandon church
at the time of his death. He
was not only faithful to his
church, but just as faithful in
believing that it was his duty as
a christian to do the will of the
Master at all times. He was al
ways ready to lend a helping
hand in time of need-both in
acts of kindness and in words.
He was strictly honest in the
service he rendered, being not
only a model christian, but an
honorable gentleman in the
highest sense the term implies.
Six years ago he was elected
justice of the peace Of the Bran
don district, and so conscientious
was he in the performance of
mis- duties, he was reelected two
years ago for another term. In
the discharge of his duties he
saw only the right, fearing no
man and rendering equal justice
to all.
/ The funeral services occurred
at the Presbyterian church Mon
day afternoon at 5 o'clock, the
services being conducted by Rev.
Mr.. McJunkin, Of Forest. The
deceased being a member Of Ty-
rian Masonic Lodge, the remains
were inferred with the honors of
that fraternity, District Grand
Lecturer G. c. Mabry coming
lover from Jackson to assist the
local lodge in the exercises.
Truly, good man has gone to
his reward.

J. E. Ainsworth sustained a
severe loss last Friday when his
sawmill was burned down. The
flames originated from d burning
slab pile, and everything being
so dry the fire was soon beyond
control. The boiler and engine
escaped without very great dam
age, and can be repaired. Mr..
Ainsworth will rebuild as soon as
possible, as he has several more
million feet of standing timber.
No insurance was carried.
On account of the confusion
caused by the similarity of the
names of Brandon and Brandon
Depot, the postoffice department,
at the suggestion of Postmaster
Atkins, has changed the name of
the Brandon Depot postoffice to
Value. Mr.. Atkins has been sre-
appointed postmaster foranother
four years, and all who address
letters or other mail matter to
his postofice in future, should
remember to write It Value,
Miss, and not Brandon Depot.

spending the day in town in an.
ticipation of a good .ain this
afternoon. He requests us to
state that in the early spring
some one visited his field one
night and borrowed two brand
new plows, one a middle buster
that had just been purchased the
day before. He says that he
has two new points that belong
to the big plow, and that he
has no use in the world for them,
and if the man who got the
plows will call at his home he
will gladly give him the points.
R. E. Steen. of Florence, was

has recently returned from the
PHILIPPINE Islands, where he was
