QUE THANKS.

The CHRONICLE extends its sincere
thanks to hundreds o. friends in all sec
tions of the State for kind personal let
ters relating to rsceut I, ferences, and
also thanks those friends for communi-
cations upon the subject. We believe
that they will agree with US that the
communications ought not to be pub
lished. The question at issue has been
satisfactorily settled, and we think they
will agree with US that it is wisest not to
reopen it at this time.

EQUAL AND EX ACT JUSTICE TO
ALL.

The railroad corporations have right
to justice. So have the tax payers. For
half a century the ". & W. railroad
has paid no tax. They now offer to pay
q stipulated tax. The position of the
CHRONICLE is that they ought to pay the
regular tax which all others pay, and
have no especial privileges. If the
Legislature has any lever which they can
use to compel the payment of regular
taxes, we think they ought to make full
use of it. We have been waiting twen-
ty-fve years for snch a lever, If the
desired Petersburg charter gives it to US,
let us use it.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO NONE.

The Cumberland county Democratic
Convention last Summer instructed its
to vote against the proposition of the
W. & W. Il. Il. Co. which they make to
the Legislature. The Cumberland Dem
ocrats take the ground that it is better
to bear the ills we have than by legisla-
ton to sanction especial privileges" to
wealthy corporation. And the CHRoN1-
Gle agrees with the Cumberland Demo-
Gratis.

Senator Paine, the Only Dis
int rested Witness, Makes
z Statement.

Iua !erstsnd that tele.,rans nave been
i;idustriously sent out from Raleigh stat
ing that Capt. Samuel A. Ashe struck
me Wednesday night and that l did not
resent it.
Such telegram is false / am loath
to parade any personal difficulties before
the public but | am unwilling to rest
under SO false an imputation. Capt
Ashe did not touch me, though, in COM
pany with mis- two nephews, he did way
lay me in the dark in front of his own
office, and attempt to strike me. AS he
raised his arm, caught it, and also took
hold of his other shoulder and preset
him back. Senator Paine, of Lincoln
wno was the only one present
except Capt. Ashes nephews, pushed
| us apart and prevented any resumption
OF the difficulty. Uapt. Ashe imme-
diatcly walked away Two other gen
tlemen were Immediately behind rs al
the time Of the occurrence ami came up
az Cap. Ashe walked away.
| The following statement from Senator
PAINE, who was the only aisintcrested
party present, gives the facts of the oc,
currence:
| Senator Paine's Statement.
| RALEIGH, N, c., February 4th, 1891.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels and myself
we're walking up Fayetteville street this
evening at ABOUT Il quarter to eight
O'Clock, and as We passed Capt. Ashe's
| office, Capt. Ashe came out and said tt
| Mr.. Daniels: Good evening; you have
said things about me that do not Intend
| to take"
Mr.. Daniels replied that he (Ashe) had
said things about him (Daniels) tina.
were not true.
Capt Ashe then attempted to strike
| Mr.. Daniels, raising his arm with some
thing in his hand like stick. Will.
his arm was upraised, Mr.. Daniels
caught it and pressed the arm back.
l then caught them by the shoulder
and separated them and said "Gentle
men, this will not do" There were two
other gentlemen present whom | did no
know, but afterwards learned to b,
Capt. Ashes nephews. This ended th'
occurrence. No blow was struck.
| }. w. A. PAINE,
Senator from Lincoln Co.
Hearing that false statement of tn,
AFFAIR had been wired to the press,
last night sent the following telegram tt
the press:
| To THE ASSOCIATED AND UNITED PRESS
RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 4th, 1891
| understand that telegram has beer
sent that Capt. Ashe struck me with
cowhide. This is lie. He did no
touch me with anything, and will no
dare to do so.
Senator Paine, Of Lincoln, the only
eyewitness present, publishes a state
ment of the facts as they occurred.

We laugh at the innocent younghouse-
wife who ordered half dozen halibut"
for dinner Had she lived in the South
Pacific Islands she might have been
equally laughed at for ordering half a
dozen oysters-not to say pint. The au-
thor of "Oysters, and All About Them E"
gives some examples that nearly match
the giant CLAIMS and abalones Of the Cali
fornia coast
Pliny mentions that, according to tho
historians Of Alexander's expedition. oys-
ters foot in diameter were found in the
Indian Seas, and Sir James Z. Tennent
was unexpectedly enabled to oorroborate
the correctness Of this statement, for at
Kottier, near Trincomalee, enormous
specimens Of edible oysters were brought
to the rest house. One measured more
than II inches in length by half as many
in width.
But this extraordinary measurement is
beaten by the oysters of Port Lincoln in
South Australia, which are the largest
edible ones in the world. They are as
large as a dinner plate, and of much the
same shape. They are sometimes more
than a foot across the shell, and the oys-
ter fits his habitation SO well that he does
not leave much margin.
1t is new sensation when a friend asks
you.to lunch at Adelaide TO have one oys.
ter fried in butter, or in eggs and bread
crumbs, set before you; but it is a very
pleasant experience, for the flavor and
delicacy Of the Port Lincoln mammoth
are proverbial, even in that land Of lux
uries.

sou,bsrn wit I'm War.

As we are reminded by the author of
aFour Years in Rebel Capitals, the
South, as well as the North, needed to
exercise its sense of humor, whenever
that was possible, to carry it through the
terrible strain of the war. Some of the
puns, burlesques, and repartee of that
dreadful time have become locally his
toric. Colonel Tom August, of the First
Virginia, was the Charles Lamb of Con
federate war wits, genial and ever gay.
Early in secession days a bombastic
friend approached him with the question,
"Well, sir, presume your voice is still
for WARP"
"oh, yes, ;" replied the wit, perfectly
still"
Always to be remembered is General
Zebulon Vance's apostrophe to the rabbit,
flying by him from a heavy rifle fire:
"GO 1t, cotton tall If hadn't a reputa-
ton, I'd be with you'll"
Equally forcible was the protest Of the
Western recruit, ordered on picket at
Munson's Hill
"Go yander ter keep em off WY,
weuns KEN hyah ter fight tn Yanks, an
ef youuns skeer 'em of, how'n thunder
ez thar goan' ter be a scrimmage, no
how?"

torted the officer, staring.
