MONUMENT PLACED
Monument Placed at Historic Graves Of
Flora McDonald's Children in Rich
mond County.


cry county, about the time OF
the American Revolution, Flora
Mcdonald, noted for the horoic
part she had taken in the rescue
of Prince Charles, lost two chill
dren. They were buried on al
part of her estate about 400 yards
this side of the Montgomery line
in what is now Richmond county.
These graves, beside a neighbor-.
hood road leading through the
old White place, were known as
the9graves of the Mcdonald chill
dren by the people of that neigh
borhood, and the information
was handed down from one
generation to another.
The late Mr.. Terrell Poole,
who moved to a nearby farm
about seventy years ago, told the
writer that at that time their
identity was undisputed. A num-
Der of other aged people born
and reared in the neighborhood,
some of whom are now dead, but
whose recollection went back
beyond the middle of the nine
teenth century, also assured the
writer that the graves in question
we're those of Flora McDonald's
children. They could be plainly
seen by anyone travelling the
road above referred to until
about eight years ago.
At that time the timber was
cut off the land, heavy wagons
were driven over the graves, ano
the mounds were beaten down
This made their rediscovers
rather difficult, and but for {
rather peculiar occurrence il
would have been perhaps i'm
possible to rescue them from
oblivion. While the mound:
were still intact a resident of the
of the neighborhood, while drunk
imagined that valuable jewels
had been buried with the chill
ldren, and that he could recove
, the jewels by digging into tn
) graves. He opened one of then
about half way to the bottom
but was too much under the ir
, f1uence of liquor to carry hi
investigation further. The grav
) was left half open for a numbe
of years as nobody considered
his business to refill it.
Just after the timber was Gu
= from the land, Rev. c. G. Vardel
: president of Flora McDonal
S College, requested the writer t
D have the graves reshaped and
photograph of them taken fo
n publication. Hours were sper
d in the effort to find them, an
Y the search would probably hav
t been in vain had not the hole lie,
e between small and rude heat
e and foot.stones by the would-t
l. grave robber revealed the eXat
location of one of the grave
After being found, however, ther
was no reason to doubt the
identity, as it was confirmed b
f their position on the road and b
r other landmarks.
n The graves were reshaped an
n were photographed. The plot
graph was given a place in
h beautiful volume entitled "Fioi

Il copy of the photograph was ais

Pigs Nay Be Pigs But Hootch
Is Not H0Otch, IT Is Poison

That 'pigs is pigs" has beensproven
beyond a doubt, but since the eight
zenith amendment sent real liquors
the way of the one.horse shay, hoop
skirts. and chaperones, itNis no longer
safe to assume that booze is booze,
judging from chemical analysis of
various b~oc:legged hotch. In many
cases booze is poison.
IF most drinkers knew what they
were imbiding they wouldn't do. it,
is the way in which the situation Is
:sumMedaNup by chemists who have
examined many of the 81 varieties of
the, wet stuff being sold for booze
today. i, a,
b They say hootch which is now be-
ing sold in the northwest may be
divided into six general groups:
l.. Genuine bottled in bond whis-
ky, bottles of which are few and far
between. o.
.. Grain alcohol. colored with
burnt sugar and sold under label for
real whiskey.
8. Denatured alcohol, which has
been purified to remove the poisonous
substance which makes it unfit fol
beverage purposes. TN,
~ q. Uhpurifed denatured alcoho!
! which may contain creosote, :benzine
nEA OSCIOs PJA ~
diethyl phthalate.i or, some other de.
naturant.'
5. Wood or methyl alcohol-very
little of which has been disposed OF
in the northwest.
6. Pure grain alcohol which prob.
ably constitutes the major part of the
hootch now being sold under cover In
this district.
Chemists declare that probably the
most popular and most dangerous
drink now offered by pigs, blind In
both eyes, is that made from denatur-
ed alcohol. Even if the bootlegge1
be conscientious and tries to remove
the foreign substance which makes
the grain alcohol unfit for drinking
he is more than often unsuccessful
Purifying 4denatured alcohol is a task
for a professional chemist, and nc
amateur -dabbler in chemistry may be
sure of, success. 4
"Denatured. alcohol may be any.
thing" says the chemists. 1t is grain
alcohol plus something which renders

IN the locations Of Grand Forks and

no more reason for Omaha becoming

Grand Forks attaining the growth Of
Omaha; in fact Mr.. sorlie said that
this. city had better opportunities be-
cause 1t did not have the competition
that Omaha had with, Kansas City, as
Duluth and Minneapolis are much
farther away
Before anything else can be done
Grand Forks must have freight rates
that will enable II to compete with
the Twin Cities said Mr.. Sorlio. "At
the present time grain and stock az
well as almost anything else, can bv

While industrial disturbances are

the total volume of buying is ave

season., says the American Lumber

of the situation maintain that buying
is much heavier than usual. Home
building remains active except where
curtailed by purely local conditions
and the demand it creates is now sup
plemented by a steady expansion in
the requirements of industrial pur-
chasers. The trend of. both hard
