Young White Man Arrested for Theft.
A good-looking, well-dressed young
white man, named C. C. Holland, who
stated his occupation as telegraph op
erator, and assistant station agent for
the Aberdeen and Rockflsh Railroad at
Raeford, was arrested In Fayettevllle
this afternoon, on a warrant charging
him with stealing a watch, pistol and
razor from Mr. Clarence L. Pember
ton. When taken to Police Head
quarters he admitted taking the watch
and razor, but- said he knew nothing
of the pistol.
He was bound over to the Crlm-
lna ICourt in the sum of $100,
which he has so far failed to give.
Early In April Mr. Pemberton left
his grip in the station at Raeford for
few hours. When next he looked
into It he found that a handsome gold
watch, which had belonged to his
grandfather, a pistol and a razor, had
been taken from it. He made every
effort to ' discover the thief, but with
out success.
At noon to-day a young man called
at Prior's Jewelry store and tried to
swap a gold watch for another one.
Mr. Jack Tlllinghast, , whj waited on
htm at once recognized the watch, and
when the young man left without mak
ing a trade, he notified Mr. Pember
ton. A warrant was sworn out and
shortly afterward Chief of Police Ben
ton found the man and carried him to
Beasley's jewelry store, where he had
taken the watch for the purpose of
having the Initials on It changed.
The boy, for he Is hardly 21 years
of age, at once admitted his Identity
and acknowledged the theft. He has
been at Raeford but a few months and
previous to that was employed In the
A & R. station at Hope Mills.
He says his father is a physician in
Clarkton, Va., and that his mother is
dead.

THE APPROACHING REUNION.
Pointers For Those Who Expect to
Attend.
It is expected that Fayettevllle and
Cumberland county will send a large
number of veterans to the reunion,
which is to be held in Richmond, this
year than ever before. In view of
this fact the following will be of in
terest:
Headquarters Third Brigade
North Carolina Division,
United Confederate Veterans.
Wilmington, N. C, May 9, 1907.
Gneral Orders No. 12:
1. At the reunion in New Orleans
last year, "Old" Richmond won the
prize of having the annual reunion of
the Confederate' Veterans, which will
be held May 30th to June 3rd, in elu
sive. She bids you come with open
arms and-homes, with as much zeal
as In 1861, when in 1861 you went
armed to defend her.
2. Veterans who are unable to pay
board will be entertained free by the
hospitable citizens of Richmond, and
should send their names to Captain
D. A. Brown, Jr., Richmond, Va.
3. The railroads have made the rate
of one cent per mile, good until June
11th. There will be ample facilities
for visiting the Jamestown Exposition
at cheap rates. Tickets reading to
Richmond and return account the Re
union will be good returning from
Norfolk. I
4. It is earnestly desired that every
Camp in this Brigade send Its full
quota of delegates, and in fact that
every member of the Camps attend If
it Is nosslble to do so. The close
proximity of Richmond to our good
old State, the small cost of attend
ing, as well as the happy time In meet
ing your old comrades In arms, should
be sufficient Incentive to stimulate ev-
evy true soldier to attend the Reunion.
5. The attention of the Camps Is
called to the fact that It is necessary
to remit the per capita tax to Adju
tant General Mlckle, New Orleans, so
as to have recognition.
By order of JAS. I. METTS,
' Brigadier General.
