—Master Thomas Harden cele
brated his eight,l birthday last
Thursday afternoon. Quite a num
ber of his young friends were pres

able afternoon.
—On Tuesday, February 2nd the
—wind blew from the South. A
gentleman in the writer's presence,
said it was a sure sign of a good
fruit crop. Let us hope the sign
will not fail.
—Tuesday was "ground hog day'.
It was cloudy in the early morning
and the little animal had little
chance to see his shadow clearly
until about one oclock. What he
did when he ea.me out, is an open
question. We will and see
what happens to tue weather. i
—Bids were asked for last month'
for carrying the mail to and "from
the Postofiice and Graham Station,
the lowest responsible bidder at
the price, so we are informed, ol
*29.95 per month. There were sev
eral other bidders. Uncle Sam, of
course does not object to getting
his work done at 6 low figure
and if the bidder does not on)ect
to the price, then outsiders liavej
no right to complain.
—On account of the continued
wet weathef and the sloppy condi
tion ol the streets, the permanent
work on the streets has been at a
stand-still for two weeks. The
mud on the streets has been so !
deep that the teams could not pull
a load of material through it. In ;
a quarter of a century there has
not been BO much mud in Oraham. I
And we are informed that the 1
roads throughout the county, ex- 1
cepting the macadam roads have''
positively been the worst for the 1
past two months ever witnessed in j
the county.
—The "Mexican" is well attend- ,
ed every night, but especially so
on Thursday nights. On Thursday,'
nights the "Million Dollar Mystry'
is the special attraction. You can •
read the story in The Oleaner this ,
week and see it at the "Mexican'' 1
the next Thursday night. So ,
great is the attraction that every j
seat is taken. And, by'the way,i
the "Mexican'' is making some im- {
provements. The floor, has been i
given more elevation. New opera ■
chairs have been bought. The
building will be lengthened. And
a mirror screen, which makes the
pictures show up so much better,
is to be added.

LEE-JACKSON PRIZE ESSAY.
' Head at Graham Graded School on IN-
Jsckaon Day. ,
I A Sketch Comprising the Lives)
ij Military Lead&ships, andt>er
' | sonal Characteristics of
I K. Lee and Thomas- J. Jackson,
by Miss Kathloen Strickler of
j Burlington, N. C.
i The. ancestors of Robert E. Lee
and Thomas J. Jackson came to
America from Btogland. The Lees,
who represented a line already
distinguished and honored, settled
in the Valley of Virginia. Here,
as in England, the family was fa
mous for its noble list of brilliant
statesmen and soldiers.
Jackson's ancestors did not feet
tie among the rich planters of the
I Valley of Virginia, but pushed
westward into what is now West
| Virginia. Thejvwgre thrifty, en
ergetic and intelligent, and several
of their number served in the State
Legislature.
I In regard to the family position
of the early Lees and Jacksons,
each was leader in its own commu
nity. Of the two, the Lees were
probably the wealthiest and more
prominent throughout the Btate.
Yet the Jacksons did not lack in
fluence, and were looked un to and
respected by their neighbors for
their intelligence and honeßt good
sense.
j It was into such homes as these
that on January 19, 1807, came Rob
ert Edward Lee, and on January
21, 1824, Thomas Jonathan Jackson,
Their boyhood days were passed
in much the same was as countless
other boys. Lee lost his father
i when only 11 years old, and thus
the training of the future general
| was left almost entirely In the
hands of his mother. She was a
, wise teacher, however, and easily
cnriable of the great responsibility
.thrust I'ptTi hor
I Jackson fvas not so fortunate as
i was Lee, for he lost both his father
and his iholhcr before he was tour
years old. He was first sent to an
aunt, but his aunt's husband seems
,to have treated him unkindly and
! young Jackson promptly ran away
to another aunt. This aunt and
ian uncle were kind to the orphan
boy and helped him to secure a
.good commen education. The
greatness of the future h?ro seems
to have been evident in the boy,
for- we find that he was elected
constable of Lewis county at the
, age of sixteen.
I The next step in the career of
j these two, was their entrance at
I West Point Military Academy.
I Lee entered in the year 1825, ana
. early distinguished himself. He
' was well prepared and ranked high
lin his classes. He did not receive
a single demerit during the whole
four years, and graduated second
j in his class.
Jackson entered in 1842, but un
-1 like Lee did not reveal his true
greatness. His preparation was
defective, and In his own words,
he "worked very hard for what he
got at West Point". However, he
made steady progress from the be
ginning, and one of his associates
remarked, that, had the course cov
ered six instead of four years,
Jackson would have graduated nt
the head of his class.
In "point of training for their
work as leaders during the Civil
War, it seems remarkable that L»e
and Jackson should each have been
so thoroughly traeined, not only in
the theory, but also in the actual
application of Military Science.
Both had the advantage of a splen
did military training at West Point,
and both served with distinction in
the Mexican War.
Lee, jvho was connected with the
Engineering Corps of the United
States Army, superintended the
construction of several important,
government works and defensps,
such as the improvement of the
Mississippi river at Bt. Louis, the
defenses at Baltimore, and also .it
Ft. Hamilton. He helped to fortify
Hampton Roads, and ne learned to
train soldiers while Superintendent
of West Point MllitaryAcademy.
Jackson, in addition to the val
uable training he received as an
artillery officer during the Mexican
War, was benefitted much by his
career at Lexington, Virginia. Here
he held* an important position on
the faculty of the Virginia Military
Institute. Jackson's methods as a
teacher were too profound ana
deep to be very popular with the
average student, vet his work as
a professor helped him to develop
some of his own powers which af
terward proved valuable to him.
Thus the opening of the Civil
, War fonnd Lee and Jackson just in
the prime of life. Each having
spent the greater pirt of his lift
so far, either in actual service in
the United States Army, or, in the
training of cadets; In general, both
. Lee and Jackson possessed the
qualities which make up the chir*
' acter of great commamders.
1 In particular, each one possessed
i his own especial characteristic*.
Both were noted for their unfail
ing quickness to take advantage of
the ti.nidity or hesitation or the
enemy. Both were distfnguishea
for their bold and daring move
ments. And both held the deep re
spect and full confidence of their
men
The Xupdamental difference in
the gifts of these" two as command
ers lay in the fact that Lee was
a born commander while Jackson
was a born fighter.
The characteristics which distin-
Juishrd Lfee's generalship from
ackson's fighting, were his abili
-1 ties as a strategist, organiser, and
I tactician. As soon as Lee assumed
command of the Virginia forces he
immediately began to organize the
1 raw recruits into some resemblance
I to an army, and, in a surprisingly
■ short time he had a fairly well
. organized body of troops ready to
face the Pederala. Lee had a
splendid eye for positions, and he
possessed a wonderful genius for
j>Unning out campaigns and bat-
Jackson was a natural leader,
and this quality united with his
genuine love for fighting, bis dar
ing and his )u dgment gave him
the characteristics of a great com
mander.
The distinctive characteristics of
Lee and Jackson peculiarly fitted
them to work in harmony with
each other. Tbua the result at
Sharps burg was due to Lee's gen
: eralsnlp and to Jackson's flght-
! n &'ne of he pleasantest features of
' the greatness of these two ss com
manders waa the fact that there
! waa never the alightest discord in
! their relations as leaders of the
.Bouthern forces. Bach recognizer)
and generaously praised the merits
at the other.
i But great as Lee and Jackson
! were as soldiers, the men, them
selves, were greater.
) In bearing Lee had an advantage
over Jackson. In appearance Lee
was dignified, erect and command
ing, ana he waa exceedingly grace
ful both in speech ana manners.
Though he wore no emblem of his
i high rank, anyone could tell at the
first fiance that he waa a Com
mander-in-chief, and a great man.
| On the contrary Jackson was
awkward looking, and wholly lack
ing in the eise ant) grace of
manner so characteristic of Lee.
He generally wore an abstracted
i look, and seemed totally uncon
acious of bis appearance or hia sur
roundings.
Beneath the necessarily stern •de
meanors 6f these two soldiers there
beat hearts Which wer? as gentle
and 'as tender as any woman's.
When not on the battlefield Lee
was charming in his manners, and
especiall (y so with little children.
This characteristic made him many
warm friends where ever he. went.
Jackson was far more reserved
and undemonstrative by nature
Lee was. Vet he was kind and
gentle and always tried to make
people feel at ease when talking
Lee as well as Jackson was al
ways polite and considerate of the
feelings of others. Both were mod
est and unassuming and neither
was ever known to exhibit *
boastful attitude.
of the most distinguishing
characteristics pecuflar to Lee was
his supreme composure on all occa
sions. He was as calm and collect
ed on the battle field, as in a
drawing room. And he was as
equally composed in the hour of
deepest disappointment as in the
moment of greatest victory.
The men under both Lee and
Jackson idolized their commanders,
and they felt that there could b?
no defeat when either of these men
was their leader.
Jackßon mingled with his men to
a greater extent than did Lae. The
awkwardness of his manners and
and his odd and often eccentric
habits caused them to to regard
him with mixed feelings of love
and respect.
Lee's men treated him with great
deference and respect, yet they de
lighted to call him "Marse Robert'
and "Uncle Bob" behind his back.
Lee was never the least haughty
or overbearing in his manners and
he always treated the humblest
private soldier with as much cour
tesy as he did the highest officer.
Both Lee and Jackson sincerely
tried to do their duty on all occa
sions.
With Lee, love of duty was in
deed a ruling passion a'nd he often
declared that duty was the "sub
limest word in our language.'
Jackson, too, was scrupulously
exact in the performance of anv
duty however trivial it may have
seemed to others.
Another characteristic which
these two possessed in comrhon,
was their deep-religiousness. Both
were earnest _ christian gentlemen.
Jackson never went into battle
without offering up a prjyer up
prayer for the souls of those about
i,o face death.
And Lee prayed for the Pederala
as well as tfor ths Confederates
every day during the civil war. *
It was the sincerity of Lee's faith
in God and the consciousness of
having performed his duty to the
utmost which took the sting from
(defeat and surrender.
And we better example
of a christian's trust in Ood thin
in Jackson's death. It was this
trust which made his last few mo
ments as peaceful as his life had
been stormy.
It is a noble and priceless her
itage which we Southerners, are
hei( to in thelives of these heroes
who must always be regarded as
two of the world's greatest sol
diers and as two of the best ex
amples of noble manhood.
And let us, as boys and girls,
men and women, strive each day
to build up characters, such as
these two illustrious men have
given us In their precepts and ex
amples.
President Vetoes Immigration Bill.
Washington, Jan. 28. —President
Wilson vetoed the immigration hill
today because of the lileracy test lor
ailmiss on of aliens. His message
was relei red to the. house 'mmigra
lion cotnmitteo, whose chairman,
Representative Burnett, will move
next Thursday that the measure bu
parsed over the veto.
Much informal discussion among
members of the house followed re
ceipts of the veto and there were
many who believed the two thirds
majority required to repass the bill
could not be procured. Immigration
bills containing literacy tests were
vetoed by President Cleveland and
by President Taft, hut both times
failed of re-passage.
Senate leader* insist there would
he no trouble in re-panning the bill
in the upper bouse. That was done
in the Taft udminiatrH'ion but the
house failed to muster o two
thirds majority:
In hia veto mcaaage President
Wilson told the house which origi
nated the bill, that he had no pride
of opinion on the question and that
he waa not "foolish enough to pro
