HUGE CROWD IN PROSPECT
FOR REUNION IN JUNE.
Confederate Veterans an d
Sons Coming From All
Over the South.

Carl Hinton, adjutant in chief
| Sons of Confederate Veterans, is in
receipt OF more than 500 letters daily
asking information coccrninE the re-
union and especially requesting as
SiStancc in obtaining accommoda-
lions for that week. lilo Is much
alarmed over the situation, as indi-
cations arc that the crowd will so
far exceed all expectations that tho
capacity of the city will be taxed
All those having rooms for rent are
urged TO communicate with him at
headquarters OF the Sons in the Rich
mond Hotel.
That the reunion attendance Will

the fact that request OF railroad GER
tiiicatcS are coming in nil the time,
one man who took 900 last year
when the gathering was In Chatta-
noora stating that he would need
1000 for the Richmond trip. The
three camps in Norfolk arc carrying
on active membership drives and
when MIR. Hinton was there last week
he was told that the delegation from
that city would be large.
Camps are being either rcinstatad
or organized also at Covington. ac-
cording TO latest reports. and also
at Rocky Mount Fairfax and Lex

but also veterans, many OF whom
Will be equipped and supplied with
tickets by the younger men. Work
on the local drives Will go forward
this week with even greater energy
than has characterized them for the
last few weeks. according to reports.
and II is thought that hundreds OF

either sons or Erandsons OF Confcd-
crate veterans is the sole requisite,
and Morgan u. Robinson, State ar
Chivist, will assist them In obtaining
the necessary records.

 Caldwell < Whitman had a five acre partnership tract and sold $2,0l2 worth of berries.
 The toal value of the berries produced on the forty acres was a little more than 1000 l. is estimated that $6,000 will cover the cost of plants, set ting, cultivation, picking and cases, leaving $11,000 for the first crop produced on 10 acres of ordinary land.
 We don't have to go to Ok lahoma, Texas, California, oI some other distant place to find success. Success is lying all around Us all the time There are lots of 10 acre tracts of land around Newark that are full of money. But it will take men with sand in their gizard to get 1t out.

HODGES ANNOUNCES
Newport Man Enters Race for
 Congressman

The announcement of Hon. ". A. Hodges of Newport as a candidate for congress from the Second Congressional Dis trict appears in today's paper.
 His home paper, the New port Citizen, has the following to say of Mr. Hodges candi- daey.
 MT. Hodges is we'll and favorably known all through this section, having been born and raised in Jackson county where he has spent all his life and who is now a citizen of Newport. Having lived and worked on farm until 21 years of age, when he took up school teaching for a number of years, and then entred the mercantile business at Bald Knob, making quite a success of this venture. He Is well posted on the needs of this district. In fact he has not fallen down on any Cline of business that he has undertak- en, and we predict that he will have the same success in poli- tics, that he has had in other lines, as he is a hard, earnest, conscientious worker in any thing he undertakes, which can have but one result, sue cess.
 He has been a lifelong Democrat, is good citizen and a capable man for office. 
 As far as we can ascertain Jackson county has never had a representative ,n Congress, but we predict that at the next Democratic primaries we will have one, and one well-fitted for office.
 We can sincerely reeom- mend Mr. Hodges to the voters of this district as a true, earn est worker for the best inter- ests of the section he repre- sents.

Money Grows But We Haue to Gather If

The Journal may have harp ed on strawberries until our readers are getting tired of it, but when we see what straw berries are doing for the farm CTS of other communities we cannot keep off the subject, because we know that straw berry growing would mean more to the farmers of this community than anything they could take up.
 Here is a remarkable story of success that We get from Bald Knob upon good authori- ty.
 It is a story of how eight men took 40 acres of non-produc- tive brush land, cleared it for cultivation and made it produce seventeen thousand dollars worth of strawberries the past season.
 And it might be mentioned in passing that this little story of success, coming from q neighboring community, where conditions are much the same as they are in our own com munity adds additional proof ef the little recognized and oft-forgotten fact that there are opportunities lying at our very doors and all around us, if we only have the judgment and common sense to recog- nize opportunity when we see it, and have enough sand in our gizard to roll up our sleeves and DO it.
 The people who DO are the people who achieve. There are hundreds of people in eve cry community who see oppor- tunities for making money, but they lack sand. No man ever gets anywhere on the road to success if he hasn't got sand in his gizzard.
 Here's the story of the eight Bald Knobbers who had sand in their gizZards:
 In the fall of 1919 Tom Humphrey and Ernest Willi- ans leased 40 acres of unclear-' ed brush land, cleared it up and prepared it for strawberry plants. Being men of small means, the proposition became too big for them to finance the entire deal and they divided the land into eight fiye-acre tracts and induced six other men to take five acre tracts. The berry plants were set in 1920 so as to yield their first crop in 1921 and the following was the result.
 Tom Humphrey and C Dur ham worked ten acres together on partnership baisis, and --==-------------------- --==------------------------

 Although the number of fires in April amounted to 56 a reduction of 32 fires from the March total of 88, the property loss was greater. Mr. Savage said that the total loss for 1922 to date is greater than it should be for the entire year.
