Said or Written to the Censor

Andrew Nelson, Franklin: Il
wish it were possible for the pres
ent generation to know what burdens
the people had to bear in the county
when in a pioneer community, and
especially during the Civil war /
remember distinctly that my wife, on
at least one occasion that | recall,
took to Liberty Pole store ten doz-
en- eggs and ten pounds of butter, for
which she received in exchange four
pounds Of sugar and one and quar-
ter pounds of green coffee. | do not
think it an exaggeration to say that
almost everything we had to buy and
sell ranged along the same lines as
the instance here referred to. No,
the young people of today know moth
ing of what the fathers and mothers
who pioneered and made the country
had to endure and the Sacrfices they
made to keep Their families and make
homes"

WAR NOTES

The Milwaukee Sentinel of Sunday
printed a picture of Ensign Thomas
C. Mccormick, DeSoto boy who has
acquired some fame and notoriety.
OF him it says: He couldn't wait for
action as a navy man when the war
broke out; he resigned his position
and won a lieutenancy in the army.
While a member of the crew of the
u. S. S. Marblehead he was taken
prisoner for a few hours by the Car
ranzistas in Mexico when he went
ashore as a volunteer on an islaEd
southwest of Mazatlan to search for
a German wireless outfit supposed to
be concealed there. The government
secured his release. The young man
is now stationed at Fort Leavenworth,
where he is a member of the cavalry
arm of the service.

NEWS OF ENSLEY

There were no new developments yesterday in the murder of Loo sam. the Chinese laundryman. who was found dead in his establishment, 1So5 Avenue E, Ensley, early Saturday morning. Detectives here are work ing on the case and although several clues have been obtained, no arrests have been made.
 The motive of the murder was first thought to be robbery but the fact that the laundry was completely ransaclSed turbed, causes this theory to be dis counted A draft on a Chinese bank for a large amount was also left.
 Detectives are still working on the theory that Sam was killed as result of a secret Chinese war in this city. It will be remembered that a Chinaman was killed ill his laundry in BirmingA ham several years ago and no clue to the murdered was ever obtained. It is known that there are two Chinese factions in the city and detectives be- lieve that Sam's death was caused by one of these factions
 Loo Lux, brother of the dead China man, has offered a reward of $1O0O for the arrest of the murderer.
